We have this day received letters and Newspipers

11th ult. The following are extracts from the Papers:

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVFS, MARCH 1.
. OCCUPATION OF FLORIDA. .

The House, on the motion of Mr. Hoturs, resolved
itself into a Committee of the .whole, on the state of
the Union, to which was referred the Bill authorising
the President of the United States to take possession,
under the Treaty with Spain, of East and West Fla.
rida, and providing for the temporary Government
of the Territory. Mr. HOLMES moved to amend the
Bill, by inserting a provision to authorize the ap-
pointment of Commissioners for the adjustment of its
Claims, and of the Western Boundary, in pursuance
of the stipulations of the Treaty, and providing the
sum of dollars, to defray the expenses of the
said Commission.

Mr. PorsDEXTZri thought that Congress would act
more understandingly on this subject if it•waited for
the ratification of the Treaty. It was not now known
what the duties of these Commissioners would be,
how extensive, what amount of spoliation they would
have to adjust, &c. The Bill constituting the COna-
missiooers ought to point out the place of their Sit.
ting, what kind of evidence they would receive, &c.
All tilts,: poir.ts could be better settled and' provided
for after the Treaty was ratified—until then. the Pro-
vision would be premature.
Mr. HOPEI:MN spoke in favour of the Resolution.
Mr. CLAY opposed it. 1:e remarked that he might
spare himself any trouble about interest on those
claims t if the claimants should get the principal they
would in his opinion, do rery well, as the amount of
the claims probably. exceeded the five millions to be
paid. Ile said, legislation on this subject was prema-
ture, and not justified by the necessity of the casc.l
There was no doubt the Treaty would be ratified by
,1
the King of Spain, unless on this, as on some other
subjects, he should be mad. As, however, Ferdinand
might think proper to withhold his assent from the
treaty, this Government would cut rather a ridicit-
lons figure if it should now proceed in anticipation,
to execute its stipulation&
Mr. Holmcs's Amendment was negatived, and the
Bill passed, and sent to the Scnxte for concurrence.
A WHOLE SQUADRON Los —We learn by the
barque Ossipee, from Catthagena, that Commodore
Anry's Squadron, consisting of six or seven sail, was
lost in a terrible gale rat Old Providence, and that he
had succeeded in saving only a few guns which he
had with Mm on the beach.

NEW.YORK, FEIIIityARY to.
The Inhabitants of the District and Members of
Congress gave a•splendid Ball, on Friday last, at
Crawford's Tavern, to Mr. and Mrs. Bagot, previous
to their departure for England. After supper the
health of Mr. and Mrs. B. was drank with great
applause ; and, in compliment to the occasion, the
Band struck up the British National Air. of "GOD
save the Kucii," which was immediately followed by
" Yankee Doodle."—Mr. Bagot returned thanks in a
handsome manner, and expressed his grateful sense
of the attention which he had received since his ar-
rival in this country, and his sincere wishes for the
happiness of the people and the prosperity of the
nation.

Pon** is stated in the Washington
City Gazette, that the Report of Mr. Lacock was not
the united sentiment of thetommiitee ; that Mr. King
and MI Eaton were opposed to it. The following ar-
tide, from the New York Evening Post, accounts for
Mr. King's opposition on a dlierent principle, and, as
II we think, more consistently with his known character.

i 4
Report of the Committee of the Senate respecting
the Seminole IVar.—This masterly Report is drawn
up with a precision and clearness that cannot be sur-
passed, and, we are free to acknowledge, has not
been equalled by any production that has yet ap-
peared before the public on the subject, in any form•
—lt presents two features, which only came first to
light in the course Of the examination of some of Ge-
neral Jackson's Officers before the Committee of the
Senate, and which, I venture to say, exhibits the con-
duct of this officer in a point of view that will call for
the marked and loud disapprobation of every Atm:.
rican who loves his country, and has a just regard for
its•laws and constitution. That General Jackson has
openly trampled upon the laws, and daringly vio-
lated the constitution, no man who reads this Report
will have the hardihood to deny.
14 Ifh'e has written authority to justify himself for
what he has done, as I am new told he boldly de-
elites, let him prOdUce 14 the burden of guilt will
then be shifted.to other shoulders, as it ought to be ;
the affair in that case will assume a new shape--hence
is seen the full force of the ob;.•ction offered by Mr.
King to this Report's being, laid before the Senate at
this-time, as it will, if acted upon, compel that body
to-Commit itself prematurely upon a solemn ques-
tion, that they may hereafter be called upon as a
Court of Impeachment to decide. But this cannot af-
fect the unprecedented facts which the Committee
have now published to the world, and which can nei-
ther be-altered nor treated with disregard."
