CANANDAIGUA, JULY 14.

NEwsrAPEas.-.-Newspapers continue to multiply
in this part of the State, notwithstanding the absence
of the great events of war and bloodshed, which for-
merly constituted most of their interest. Six or eight
weeks ago a paper made its appearance from the
south-east quarter of this country, entitled Penn-Yen
Herald—a name somewhat uncouth, but when un-
derstood,
will be found to be not altogether void of
significancy : the village where the Herald is printed
it called Penn yan, from the circumstance of its ci-
tizens being composed of Penn-sylvanians and Yan-
kees. There are six papers now published in the
County of Ontario, and proposals are issued for
another in the town of Phelps !

Last week we received the first Number of the
Rochester Telegraph, making two well executed Papers
that are now published in the new village of Ro-
chester, on the Genesee river. We observe that pro-
posals are issued for printing another Paper at Bata-
via, to be called the Recorder.
In the year 1803, the Canandaigua Repository was
the only Paper, we believe, published west of Utica.
There are now about forty !
The following extract of a letter from the Ila-
vannah, dated June 1, gives an amusing account of
the state of affairs in that place on the arrival of intel-
ligence of the capitulation of Pensacola We had
been for some time past apprized of General JACK-
sos's hostile appearance in the neighbourhood of Pen-
sacola, and listened with ridicule to the insinuations

of the Spaniards :hat he intended to attack that place ;
but we were much staggered to see on the 26th ult.
the American schooner Washington, bearing "a Bag
of truce" direct from that port, with Spanish troops
and passengers, bringing with them the capitulation
of Pensacola to the American forces. In an instant
rumour, with her ten thousand mouths, announ•
ced a declaration of war by the United States.—
Speculation was not asleep, you may be assured ; the
wise men sold to the fools. Flour, which was merely
nominal at 15 dollars, sold for 19 a 20 ; rice rose frosts
8 dollars a 10 in a moment ; and the whole day was
passed in scheming speculations, conjecturing causes,
and inventing lies; a scene of as anxious confusion
and solicitude as I remember to have witnessed.—
A confiscation of American property, and embargo,
we were told, were to take place immediately ; those
who were ready for sea, were damning the consignees
because they were not cleared ; and it was with no
little difficulty that those who were discharging were
restrained from slipping their cables and putting to
sea without leave or license, " Moro pass, • " Doc-
tor's bill," or " stores ; but the next day, to the utter
astonisment of all, Americans were suffered to depart
in peace, and that flag, which had scarcely been seen
'on the Moro for nearly three weeks, for two succes-
sive days was flying to announce arrivals from all
parts of the States. Speculation died in spasms, and
rumour having broken a blood-vessel, bled to death,
which closed the scene of confusion. Things have
again got settled, and Pensacola will most likely
supply us pretty n.uch with lumber and tar, pitch,
turpentine, and shingles ; so that in the end, he sup-
posed injured party will have the best of the bargain;
for that place, which has always been a tax, will now
yield a revenue. The affair is talked of now merely
'as if it were a bruised log ; mortification may take
place, but the skin is only scratched."
The yellow fever was raging with great violence
at I tavannah, and continued to sweep off large num-
bers of the inhabitants and strangers daily. Captain
Cox lost five of his crew by it. Hour was worth only
eight dollars per barrel, exclusive of duty. Coffee,
per last sales, was 27 cents on board, and very scarce.
SPANISH TotirtlArtoN!—An impost of four dol-
lars has been laid on every vessel arriving at the
Havannali, for the support of the Holy Inquisition,
and-rwo friars are appointed to visit each vessel in
search of obnoxious books and pamphlets !!! The
Baltimore Telegraph, in communicating this intelli-
gence, says—" We did not suppose that in an age of
Gospel light, when the Savage, the Hindoo, Jew and
Gentile, are turning from the error of their ways....
are ceasing to do evil, and learning to do well'—..
that bigotry and fanaticism bad no longer an abode
in the civilized world—we were mistaken. Mists of
Error and Delusion encircle the political horizon of
Spain, and unless the clouds and darkness which
rest upon her, be speedily dispelled, she will no
longer have a name am,rig the nations of the 'earth,
but descend to the tomb, • unwept, uuhououred,
and unittug."

We communicated yesterday the statement in the
National Intelligencer, that the PRESIDENT of the
United States had resolved on the restitu::on of the
Spanish posts in Florida, and the pleasure which the
announcement of this act of justice gave us has been
not a little heightened by the perusal of the following
ingenuous and manly observations upon it, which
appear in the Richmond Enquirer of the 31st July.—
The Americans have indeed, as the writer well re-
' marks, et escaped dishonour" by the dced—and we
hope that those among them who were for preferring
a tempting gain to the national honour—who had
spoken to the nurse, as they were pleased to express
themselves, about adding another child to the union
—will profit by the reproof which it gives to their
illegitimate propensities.
The pleasure of our Readers, in perusing these re-
marks, will not b.! lessened when they ler= that they
arc ascribed to the pen of the late President, Mr..Tcr-
FERSON, who was one of the first persons in Ame-
rica who, by an article in the same Paper, expressed
himself decidedly and firmly against the seizure of
Pensacola, and is supposed to have had great in.,
iluence by his representations in inclining President
Murat°, to the course lie has now pursued.

All suspense and anxiety are at an end. We are now• expli-
citly told, that the Spanish posts were taken without orders—on
General Jaexsom's responsibility merely; though his operations
arc ascribed to " motives of the purest patriotism." We are
told, that the posts are to be restored; but " with a requisition
that Spain shall hereafter respect the fifth article of ber Trcaty
with us." Oar Government thus disavow the act, and they order
restitution, They give up the posts—they will bring back the
Spanish troops to Pensacola—they will put every thing, as far
as they can, in the stain 7610. This is all the reparation which
we can make—it is all that we ought to make at present.
So far the Executive do their duty by Spain; but they are not
insensible of the duties which she owes to us in return. She ought to
disavow the acts of her own officer.—But we have further
claims upon her: we must say to her, the troops which you
have posted in Florida are too few to carry yoet: treaty into ef-
fect ; you do not restrain by force all hostilities on the part of the
Indian nations living within your boundary. We make this fair
demand : if you do not comply its good faith with the stipuLtions
you have made, we must shape our measures accordingly."
The Administration are bound to hold this language, and to
deal by Spain firmly and ingenuously. They should enter at
once into a negotiation, to know her determination. If she
reuses to do her duty, then lay the facts before Congress--and
if the Seminoles will not make peace with us on terms which
we have a right to demand, Congress should empower the Pre-
sident to garrison the Spanish posts with American troops.
There Is a plain distinction between this course and that
which we have disavowed. When Jackson occupied these posts,
there was la the first place no such extreme necessity as to jus-
tify the act without a previoui demand of reparation ; 21, it
was of course au act of war, an act dune by a military officer
without the constitutional sanction of Congress. But in the
course proposed, reparation will have been demanded, and the
act will be authorised by the Representatives of the People.

What then is our course? We disavow the act—we surren-
der the posts—we put Spain, as far as we can, in nuisipuo—we
wipe away the wrong wiikk hoidens done—we place things in title
condition they were in before the post of St. Mark was taken.
Having thus repaired the wrong which has been inflicted, we
shall go into the discussion with clean hands. We call upon
Spain. in good faith, to fulfil the Treaty. if she confesses that
she cannot comply ; and if the danger still hovers over us, we
must then do for he•r what she cannot do for herself; we must
pass a law to garrison her posts, and keep the 61V-re in st...hjez-
tion. But let us beware that we take not these measures lightly.
The honour of the American nation is too valuable to be trifled
with—it is more precious than a hundred Floridas--We shall
derive but little honour front a war with Spain. We shall only
he disgraced by any attempt to impose upon her. lit us, in
truth, be satisfied that she has violated her Treaty ; that she is
unable to controul the savages ; that the lives of our i itizens are
still in danger, before we occupy the Florida,. Let us satisfy
ourselves, as well as the world, that we seek not territory, but
safety ; not to injure others, but to save ourselves.

We have but too lately escaped the imputation of a stain
upon oar national honour, to run the risk of it a second titne.—
liut a moment past, and some of our citizens were for tiiuught-
hilly throwing away " a pearl which was richer far" Orn all
the FIG' idas. We mint beware how we lightly sport with it a
second time. We have escaped dishonour ; we have set an ex•
ample of respect for national law, and for the provisions of our
constitution ; and fur this, we have to thank the President of
the United States. We have passed indeed an interesting crisis.
We wanted Flurida—her best posts were in our hands. The
English had already ascaibed to us the most crooked system of
policy, that of seizing the coimtry under the blind of an Indian
war. A distinguished Frenchman had charged us with using
the Seminoles as the Portuguese did Artigas, as a massed bat-
tery to effect an object we had so much at heart. Some of our
countrymen had fallen into the temptation. They advised as to
keep what we had got—Spain was so weak, and Florida was
so valuable. They seemed to have lost sight even of our Can-
stitution, which places the power of making war in the hands
of Congress.

Suppose Mr. Monroe bad fallen into this snare. Who can
say that that nice sense of public morals, by which we hayr been
distinguished, might not have been blunted? that a precedent
might not have been set, by which future Presidents might
have screened more outrageous acts ? that some of our comities-
tional bulwarks, might not have been in danger of bring swept
away? that the law might not have been put under the feet Cl
the military power ? Nothing could have saved us from the con-
sequences, but the virtue of the people. They must have indig-
nantly disavowed the executive act : or else adieu to the consti-
tution and honour of their country!

Gmeraliackson will in all probability demand an Inquiry into
his conduct. He an opportunity to justify himself,
