From recent intelligence. the enemy's

be considerable. A confidential Indian direct
from there states. that he saw 20 white and
40 s~N~ soldiers little below the junction
of Flint and Chatahooche rivers--they wee

We have cenversed with a gentleman from
the District or Maine, who informs us, that
trade at Castine is very brisk that there is
great and constant influx and effiux of ira
ders. to such An extent, that the town IS o.
vertowing. The enemy have fortified Cas-
tine with one hundred and twenty PIECES of
Cannon, and cat canal of eighteen feet, by
which the town is islanGed. They do not
attempt to modest the people in the interior,
who have pretts generally refused to take
the oath of allegiance. The goods purcha-
sed by the traders, are transported up the
f;'nobseot, to narrow place, where lies "a
Htral schooner, which is warped back
wards and forwards, laden on the British,
and unlaaen i'll the American side, when they
are regularly entered at the Custom House,

GOVERNOR KINDELAN's LETTER
10 Colonel Wood5me.


BY the following letter the reader will find
that Governor Kindelan has refused peremp-
torily to allow the British the privilege of
landing in East Florida or Of carrying Oh of
fensive operations in that territory ag inst the
frontier of the state of Georgia, and that the
Spanish government determine co adhere TO
the strictest neutrality.
&c AS soon rs you communicated verbally
70 me the object of your coming to this place,
I hadthe honor OF informing you, in the same
mode, mat had the strictest orders from nv
government to observe the most rigid neu-
trality, and under this supposition, could
not permit you TO communicate with, the
British vessels that might present themselves
off this Bar; that would facilitate your go
ing TO Providence, and, finally, that you
would be pleased to discharge your escort
of coiored people, who, under the impression
of this province being invaded, you had
brought with you from the Seminoles, for the
purpose OF guarding you or your route to this
place /; all which now repeat to you official
ly for your Information and Government
20 which l add. that by the treaty of peace,
made in 1888, the two Floridaswcrc coded by
treaty to Spain by G.. Britain, with all the right
of sovereignty over the soil ahichit possess
ed, and by the treaty Of ST. Eldifonzo, made
with the United States of America, in the year
17e6, the northern limits of said province
were defined these were line beginning on
the east bank of the Mississippi, at 81 degrees
of latitude, which from said point proceeds to
the river Chatahoche, and from the fork of
this and Flint river by right line drawn TO
the head of St. Mary's, state of Georgia !;
therefore all the Indians inhabiting the coun-
try south of this line, are under the dominion
and protection Of the Spanish nation, and that
part OF them living to the eastward OF the
river Apalacha, are within the limits of the
eastern province, under my command;
must therefore distinctly state to you, that !
shall consider any landing of English troops
within these limits, or any enterprise coming
20 this province, with any hostile intentions a.
gainst the United States, as an aggression on
the part of Great Britain, and under this i'm
preston, shall act i'll conformity with my du-
1y. On this occasion have the honor of CT
fering my respects, and request you will have
the goodness to inform me OF your intentions.
God preserve you many years. | am, &c
your most obedient"
