The Connecticut Mirror, has published the
confidential message sent to congress during
the last session,b the President of the Uni-

some of the usual rant about secret sittfngs
and the rarfsy Of such secret sittings during

that the fact Is ajaise one, ant, il it were not
false, that the necessity or propriety OF Sc
cret sitting is tobe Determined wholly by the

dunn OF their secretary Of state, proposing to

positive terms than those employed in the

day encrcase, the necessity of Fastening their
conclusion encrease also. ! have believed al
so that 1T might be conducive to the better
exit OF this negotiation, that my dispatch
should be entrusted to a person who could
| give to the government any information thai
1t ought to possess in order that it may deli
berate with the brcyity which is necessary
Considering that you, sir, are in situationtc
| fulfil this object Of having been an eye wit
mess of all that has passed in this part OF the
province and the adjacent country, you car
give information respecting the alarm which
rcigns amongthe inhabitants, OF the influence
which the French agents &c Louisiana exer
else in these disturbances, and the risk which
.that province runs Of being involved in til.
disorders which have had their birth in Flo
rida, IS well rs the fatal consequences whicl
may follow if the evil is not stopped ii It
beginning, and whatever else can be said o.
the subject.
! In order to avoid accidents and delay
which it is not easy to foresee, will dclivel
to you duplicates Of the dispatch which adj
dressed to his excellency the secretary o

them by the mail, ard by this means 10 civ.

the deep regret with which have seen tina,

Without presuming 70 discuss the validity
ofthe United States to West F'ioIsda, title
which is manifestly doubtful, since according
TO the presidents proclamation il is left open
TO discussion, but which has nevertheless been
brought forward as ore Of the pleas to ius-
THY the occupation Of these provinces, may it
not be asked why that province could NOT
have been as fairly subject of negotiation
and adjustment IN the hands Of the SDahi-
ards, who possess the actual sovereignty
there, as in the hands Of the Americans. who
TO obtain possession must begin BY commit
