''THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:

FRIDAY, •L?TEMBER 41 1818.

We hue received a further supply of American
Papers•thls morning, bet not of a later dite thee
those of which we gave the principal contents yester.
(ley. They are, however, of considerable interest.
The restoration of Pensacola is confidently talked
of, and it is even said in the National Adviser, that
Pensacola and the other Spanish posts taken,by Gen.
JACKSON shall be restored to the Spanish Authority.
"'ipso appears," says the same Paper, " that the
General bad no. orders from Government-to invade
these ports." This is an important statement; and,
if confirmed, will set the question so mach agitated
at rest. It is strange, however, if the fact be.as thus
stated in a New York Paper of July 29, that we
should have bad no confirmation of it in tbe Wash.
ington and Philadelphia Papers, which we received
yesterday, to the 11th of August. The Papers of
the latest dates expressed themselves decidedly in fa.
your of every measure adopted by Gen. JACKSON,
and expected a voluntary cession of the Floridas.
[FRON TUE FRANKLIN HAZETTE OF AUG. 6.]
&tract of a letter from Port-is-Prince, dated the
24th ult. I—A letter frOm Admiral Baton, on board
the corvete Vittoria, off the island of Nisoa; says, " I
am at preseut off herewith a large squadron, and was
folloteid some days by. the Spanish squadron superior
to mine by one frigate, but am determined in a. few
day.i,iebeujoined by some of my vessels to attack them.

Sp to the 27th ult. and 1 hope to join him soon with
16,000 muskets. 13evow has since been joined .by,
Agars sqoadrort,.• and report states, that the latter
have taken possession of the Island of Beata.
'A corvette brig and two schooners, belonging to
this place, have been cruising off the South-side of
St. Domingo. They have been. extremely successful
in taking several pirates with their prizes.

for England to have an agent in the. War-office, and,

not be surprised if more perfect information should

The American Government have fitted out two

The approaching Congress of Sovereigns is already
a theme of great interest in France and Germany.
Public attention is now fixed on the preliminary con-

ferenFis between the Ministers of Germany, which
will precede the opening' of the Congress. This

speedily, the Royal. Dandies having adjusted their

:Europe is not ignorant of the prosperity, strength,
and security, which the South Americans have at.
tamed under the withering yoke of Spain. The

their right to remove the mist's of their misfortunes
