TUSIDAT, FEBRUA.ILT 17, lel a.

A farther arrival of American Pape►s reached as
this solving, including New York to the 2lst, Bos-
ton, Baltimore, and Alexandrian 'Gazettes and
Journals to the 17th ult. The report of the Con-
gress proceedings brings as yet no discussion on the
PRESIDENT'S Message regarding the occupation of
Amelia Island. The following is given as the latest
account Trom Amelia :••-
SATANNAII, J.N. 2.—By a. Gentleman who left
that Island on the 26th ult. we are informed, that,
on the arrival of the United States' sqnadron on the
22d, dispatches were immediately forwarded from
the Prometheus to MIRY, who returned for answer,
thaLbe did not intend resistance, but would have
willingly surrendered the place to the Saranac alone,
if such a demand had been made. Nest day, the 23d,
the American squadron anchored in the harbour of
Amelia Island, and landed about 200 heilthy look-
ing troops, who marched op to the tunes of Bail Co-
lumbia, and Yankee Doodle, and took possession
of the Fort, where the American flog was instantly
displayed. As our troops landed on the beach,

and three prizes in the harbour—the tatter have
since been aogetented by two more, a ship, prize to
the Mexican Congress, and a Inner, taken by the
Patriots. All of them, as our informant under-
stood, would be allowed to depart with MIR Y.—
Our informant further states, that the American
squadron was busily employed, when he left there,
in landing a large quantity of ordnance ■nd ammu-
nition."
The Alexandria Paper contains a kind of vindica-
tion, addressed by Commodore Avav to his Lsgisis•
live Body, previous to the occupation of Amelia by
`the United. States.
