EMISSIONS, 81,

We learn by an arrival, that the pilot boat
schooner Tartar, which sailed from this port
short time since, in violation of the embargo
laws with cargo of cotton, was taken pos
session of in St. Andrews sound, by revc-
nue. boat of the United States, and two men
left on board in charge of her; the crew rose
upon these men and carried the Tartar into
Amelia sound, she Was then demanded by an
officer of the United States, as their prize,
but before the Spanish government had time
to interfere in the business, the crew again
got her under way, and escaped out to sea,
Notwithstanding they were fired upon by the
British ship Jane, lying in the sound, until
they were out of the reach of her guns"

IMPORTANTLY an arrival at Fall

received by this days eastern mail, dated
St. Lucar, 9Th Dec. A 70 rip, to which
mentions that since writing ,ne preceding,
the writer has received letter from MIR.

RANGES from Count Florida Blanca, that the
American vess s lnder detention in Spain
should be Immediately released and their
cargoes paid for: And that an express had

ed aud received assurances OF the non exc
cution OF chat Decree with respect TO the u.
StatHs.-This IS another proof OF their wis
dom.
And n0gy they would pursue the same
course of measures-they would "annul the
Convention with France, forbid atl CONNER
c,al intercourse with the French dominions,
arm our public and private ships, and unfurl
the republican banner against the imperial
standard" Are you there old true-penny -
Surely this is the very pinnacle of wisdom.
energy aud patriotism. These gentlemen
would selee, that nation as our adversary,
who has been proved TO he less forward and
outrageous in her attacks upon us. They
would sit dowH Under the insults Of q nation,
whose attacks upon the neutral rights of
the United States are mure active and
persevering-aud who in addition to these,
has violated our jurisdiction, impressed 5000
OF our seamen, murdered oar Countrymen,
insuitcd our sovereignty, and seeks to reduce
us to the humble rank of tributaries. This
is really the very c >nsummation OF political
virtue and independence. These are the
men who presume to CenSure the adminis-
%tration and to prescribe a course of mea-
suros Tor the interests and honor of their
country.
These are the men who dcclaim about TO-
rckSn influence in our national councils who
pretend to discern the finger of B~onapartc in
all the measures of the republican party.
Surely these men will hereafter have modes
ty enough to cease to rail about the exis-
tence of French influence among us. For if
