WASHINGTON. CITY, Sept. 29.
From information which may De relied
on, il appears that the Spanish forces NAG,
in the beginning of August, passed the GA
bine river, and entered the territory OF tina
United States. Their whole strenSth IS
represented 10 amount to about one thou.
sand, under the command OF col. Errafa.
Colonel Cushing, the American command.
ant, was at the last date stationed at Nat
chiteches, with a force OF between TOUR
and Ave hundred men, which, with the
troops ordered from Fort Adams and other
posts, would probably amount 10 bstweea
six and seven hundred. Governor CIal-
borne was actively engaged 10 making ar.
rangements for calling out the militia, II
such ,measur-sheuldp prove necessary
Col. Gushing had on the 5th OF August
dispatched major Porter.ta col. Errata, to
advise himof the existing state OF things
between the Unitea States and Span, that
negotiations were actually depending be.
tween them, and urging the improperly OF
making any change in e'situation OF the
armed force of either nation which should
alter the state of things on the delivery OF
the country o'the United States; aud in.
forming him that any invasion of the ter.
ritory OF the United States would be re-
sisted
Col. Errara. who was this side Of the
Sabine, at Prudhome, abou: 40 miles from
Natchitoches. replied on the ensuing day,
thar, in obedience to instructions, it was
his purpose to keep the territory against.
all hostile attempts. it being considered as.
dependence of the province of 1e1os.
Some of the accounts represent the Spa.
nish force as being withia weive miles Of
Natch,oches the most authentic informa.
ton, however, from that post, which is
no later than the 10th of August, says no
apprehension was entertained for its safety,
nor was it thoughs that al attack was a,e-
dita.ed on it.
