MADRID. March S.
Our differences with the United States
are about assuming a serious character, in
consequence OF the refusal of the Ameri-
can government, TO restore PROFESSIONALLY
that part of Florida which is the subject
or our demand. 1t will be recoIIected that
S3naparte, obtaining Louisiana by his
partlzans in the then Spanish ministry,
sold that vast province to the United States
for sixteen millions Of dollars.-Our pre-
sent government does not mean to CON
test the validity of that sale but il de-
slres to lose nothing but Louisiana itself.
Vhe United States consider, on the con.
trary, part of West Florida as being uni
ted 10 the government of Louisiana. and
following the conditioned the principal
Province. Mr.. Jefferson, the former pre.
sldenl OF the United States, declared that
this difference should be the subject of a
negotiation; but Mr. Madison thought
that he could negotiate more ADVANTAGE.
Ousiy after having taken possession ofthe
object in dispute. THIS usurpation met
with success daring the troubles of Sooin.
Now we 'eclaim the territory which be-
.toDgs to US, ~ the most amicable manner
Instead OF negotiating, the American oo.
vernment declares it will keep the terrific
ry. Here then is tbe commencement Of a
rupture.--lt is doubtless very disagreed
ble to us to see ourselves menaced with a
war by the United States, at time when
we have to combat the insurgents of Bpe.

allies against the United States we cal.

Csuse.

belong to her; she has no " justiceo fr

her nothing in contest with US, and sine
will take care not to commence such a con.
test. The " Insurgents" of the Spanish
provinces are Patriots, and merit, as we
hope they will finally secure, full success

Captain Watkins, arrived at this port
from Port -au-Prince, has handed US the
following, which was received there Just
before hisSleparture.
Z" PoRr-AU-PsINcE June 6, 1915.
6 Copy Of a letter from, Mr.. Francis Sage
at JacqnemeL to Mr.. !Scribaer, aner-
chant Of this place.
" arrived here last evening, and ac-
cording to promise hasten to give you the
news OF the Carthagenian expedition, as
received by vessel from Curacao, that
came into port yesterday. The fleet, il
appears, proceeded to the island of Mar
saretta, which they took with but little
trouble, where they hung and shot z or
eight hundred Royalists--hcre they took
Is vessels OF war and 8 100000 in casa.
With this reinforcement they went to Gu
mana, which, together with six or eight
other towns on the Main, is in their pos
session and the last news states, that
they were marching triumphantly towards
Caracas, which no doubts in their hands
before this time. The Royaist General
Morlllo has made several attempts to Pc
nesrate to Santa Fe, but has been often de-
feated ne is now cooped up in Carthage
ma, from which he cannot stir without the
greatest hazard. In short, the Patriots
seem to get the better of the Royaists in
all parts, and it appears to me very pro-
bable they will carry their point"
