Spanish AFFAIRS.
Extract ofa letter from the Hon. Harry Toul
min, to The Editor, dated Fort Stephens,
{N1if Ter,) March !, SOC.
i" We are looking for war daily
but are much in the dark. The Spa
niaIds have lately fent 70 additional
men from Penlacola TO Mobile, and
are daily getting hrewood and other
necenaries into the fort; and have
cut down all the undeg growth with
in a mile of the town. They like
wife fatter The Indians. The Com
mandant lately had one hundred bar
rels of corn meafured out among a
party of them, and gave them talk.
They were our own Chocktaws.-
But we hope they will be faithful.
"There is Frenchman in Spanifh
pay, of the name of Favre, who ufed
TO live here, and now lives near the
mouth of Pearl river, that is peculiar
ly induitrious in exciting the Chock-
taws againi our lettlement. lie en-
braces every opportunity of urging
their head men TO fall Ia upon and
deRroy us and makes their doing 70
the telt by which their regard to the
Spanilh government is to be determi-
ned.
+" But the ChocktawS are fearful
of the event, and want to fee good
Span III force in the country before
they fir. Indeed there are none,
believe, inclined to favor the Span
iards but the lower Chocktaws, who
are not numerous.
"An old fettler here was oblerving
TO me juft now, that the limits of
Louiiiana are 70 notorious, that there
was not a fenfible negro at Mobile
but could tell one that Perdido was
the Ealtern boundary. All the French
patents expreis the fame thing"

Cifi@ens of Portland :

Cfti~e1lS Of Portland
This day it is your proud duty to at
tend 10 the election of your Represen-
tatives-The candidates are before you
They are men whom you have long
known for their mistaken integrity and
patriotism their political principles
accord with the measures that have
been pursued ever since the adoption
Of the constitution of the common
wealth-measures which have raised
Massachusetts to degree of prosperity
and happiness superior to any other
state in the union. Let every voter Sc
riously reflect upon the truth of this
remark before he shall exercise his G
lective right. Are we to gain any thing
by change of men and measures or
are we to be made the willing tools Of
aspiring demagogues, whose only hope
Of promotion consists In the mean and
unworthy endeavour to effect that
change in public opinion, which tends
to destroy all confidence in men who
have uniformly yielded their best exer-
tions to promote the honor and pros
perity Of the country.
