EAST FLORIDA.

The accounts from East Florida confirm
the opinion which we expressed in Saturdays
Courier, that our officers, in taking posses
sion of Amelia Island, had acted under the
orders of our government. We now find by
the capitulation, that the Island was to beDced-
ed to the United States in ~ hours after its
surrender by The Spanish commandment and
that this officer had likewise stipulated tor
some commercial arrangements with our So
fcrnment, all of which Gen. George Mathews,
agent for the United States, has confirmed Oh
account of his government.
Our readers will recollect, that during the
last session of congress secret message was
sent by Mr. Madison, and that in conformity
to it, secret act of hostility against Spain
was passed by that compliant body, authors
ing the President, under certain contingencies
to take possession of East Florida. 1t VIII
Likewise be recollected, that these things, by
some secret means or other found their way
into the press, and were published in most OF
the papers throughout the Union. Mr. Ma

PICTURE OF PARIS.

VIII it be believed that In this great ca
n;tal there is numerous class OF people
who are not worth cent, who follow no
business. who have neither relations nor
friends, whose conduct is not legally re.
prehensibIe, and who, Notwithstanding,
contrive to lead pleasant Life /! Here is
the explanation of SO singular a problem.
A man of this description walks out ear
w in the morning clean sham-shlrt,
nicely crimped, supplies the place Of a
whole one black erayat gives him
military appearance, which is seryiceable
on some occasions. His coat, closely ex-
amined. shows something Of the weaver's
skill; but, upon the whole, he is dressed
decently enough, and can walk about
without being particularly noticed, which
is an important point. He has probably
been requested to decide a game the G.
yening before, at some public place. and
he Of course receives an invitation to a
breakfast the next morning, which ne ne
YER fails to accept. About + o'clock ne
goes to a gambling house, and after recon
NOTHING what passes, pays a few eompil-
ments to the winning party. A fortunate
gambler always dimes well, and does not
like TO dine alone: accordingly our ad-
yenturer accompanies him to tavern
aud dimes at his expence. Alter dinner
he goes to the Coffee house frequented by
dramatic critics; and being we'll acquaint-
ed with all the understrappers of the The
atre, he eontrives to get a couple OF Tick
cts. He looks out for some country gen
defhan, to whom he generously gives one
of his tickets, which is accepted with gra-
titude. AS they sit together in the thea
tire, our hero recounts to his new friend
all the green-rOoin anecdotes, tells him
the name of each performer. informs him
by whom each aetiessis kept, and makes
him acquainted with the character and
success of the author Of the piece. The
offer Of a bowlof punch naturally follows
so much politeness and they part mutu-
ally satisfied, after promising to see each
other next day. Their intimacy is render
ed the more close, by our idIer's borrow
ing couple of crewns, or thereabouts,
which serves to pay a fortnight's rent for
the garnet which he occupies.
