FLoRIDIAN AFFAIRS.


TWAS noticed some time since that a
vessel, having some ammunition on board,
bound from New Orleans to fort Stoddert.
was stopped at Mobile until it could be
ascertained by the commandant whether
governor Folch permitted her passing by
that place. On her return to New Or
leans, a number Of gun boats were dis
patched from that port to escort her up
the Mobile river. On their approaching
Mobile All enquiry was made, whether
the ammunition would be suffered to pro-
ceed. A peremptory refusal was given,
and very strong language, it is said, was
used upon the occasion. Much alarm had
existed in Mobile. aud the general opinion
was. that the object of SO great force
could be nothing less than TO take posses
sion of the fort on behalf OF the United
States. Great preparations were made
for defence, and the women and children
generally fed from the town.
The western channel Of the Mobile
river divides about two leagues above the
town. and the eastern branch of that chan
mel falls into the bay out of the reach of
the guns of the fort. Some of the gun
boats we're dispatched up this branch,
which is called Spanish river, and the
Spaniards, imagining that the project OF
passing by the town was abandoned, re-
joiced in the success Of their projected
resistance.
1t was however soon discovered, by
those vessels descending the western
branch towards the town, that the object
Of the commodore in this movement was,
Alexandria daily gazette, commercial & political. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1808-1812, 1811-07-31

|by placing a part Of his forcein such a si-
tuation as to give thenIfa complete cem-
mand, of the fort, to defend himself and
protect the ammunition vessel in its at
tempt to ascend the river in the ordinary
[ellannel. On this a council OF war was
|ealled, consisting Of s Spanish officers, be-
sides. the. c0mmandant. 1t is said that
|they.were equally divided on the question
Of making further resistance, but that the
measure Of giving permission to the A
meriean vessels to pass was adopted on
the casting vote of the commandant. 1t
was certainly the only prudent course. as
little doubt was entertained that the gum
boats. by this .judicious arrangement, had
it in their power completely to denolish
the fort.
Whether tile business will end here, or
whether it may lead to more important
consequences, it is not easy to determine.
LII is sand tina whilst the business was un-
decided, col. Maxent, governor ad interim
of West Florida, was about to visit Gov.
Claiborne at the mouth of the Paseagola ;
and it is still an opinion entertained at
Mobile, that the interview will take place,
and that it will be Immediately followed
by the surrender of that place to the A
merican government. Little reliance
however can be placed on these conjec-
tures-but it is certain that it would be a
matter of no difficulty with the United
States to take possession of the country If
they willed it.
