About 100 blsck troops arrived, it is said,
with a new Governor from HAVANA, at
Pensacola. about the beginning of July.
This movement must have commenced
previously to any knowl ledge Of our dec!ara-
ton of war against Great Britain. There
are now probably between four and Eve
hundred troops at Pensacola. The number
At Mobile is. perhaps, not more than 90
or 70--A part of these were lately on
the point of being removed to Pensaco-
la but the officer commanding the Amcri-
can gun-boats in the bay OF Mobile, did not
considerit as compatible with his instructions
to permit any troops 10 pass or re pass.
Since the interregnum which has existed
In the country lying between Pearl river
and the Perdido, ccasioned by the ira Fster
ofjurisdictionn from the Orleans to the Mis-
sissippi territory, it is reported that some a.
larm exists in the minds of the inhabitants
under the expectation that they will be
called upon by the Spanish commander and
compelled to attend at Mobile for the pur-
pose III defending by force the Spanish pos
session of that place. Should such an az.
tempt be made, it is to be hoped thar the
powers belonging to the Judiciary will be
exercised in their full extent by the Judge
of the adjacent district of Washington in the
Mississippi territory, for, we believe, the dis.
tance of the seat of the territorial goverH
meRt from the town and neighbOrhood of
