of the 2d regiment of Malaga, answered as' ful.

lows:—
~ Sin,—l have read the terms upoanhich you wish to
persuade me to surrender this fort. No individual of thiti
garrison is of that mind ; and fur my part I am determined
to defend it to the lust, in sattfbmilty to usy orders, particu-
larly as I am in want of nothing, and expect shortly to be
reinforced. I tun very gr:l4.Sai firr the attention you thew
us in the Article's of your Capitulation.

The enemy, thoroughly convinced of the* firm
resolution of those loyal Spaniards, and ashamed,
as it were, to have summoned them without pre:.
suming to carry his threats into execution, sent
anow.er flag of truce, requiring the Commandant,
by word of mouth, to return tho original of the
capitulation—when he was answered, that not
only it should nut be returned, but that ho had
better not send any more flags of truce, as they
would be tuated as enemies ; in tonstiquencu of
which ho desisted from the attempt that very night,
and retired towards Malaga.

is std.! more important, had occasioned serious
differences in the Cabinet of the Government, the
GALLATtss and SMITHS being said to be at
complete variance ; Mr. M A DIMON', it is be.
limit, taking part with the former. SMITII, as the
private letters represent, is at heart a Frenchman ;
and besides, both he and his brother arc repre.
sen toil as great commercial speculators. They are
said to have sent a number of easels to France, and
are consequently anxiously disposed not tor break
with that nation, in order to preserve, if pus.
dbl.., their property. •It was. thought nut im.
probable that itlr. JACKSON will be recalled to
Washington to resume his Negotiation ; and
thit the *quarrel would end with the dismissal
of Mr. SMITH. --M r. GALLATIN, in come.
quence of the misting state of things,

tified' his intention to resign on the Ist of May;
