Mr.. Alexander Barring has been invi-
'ed :" attend the approaching congress at
| AIN IL Chapel'c. This distinguished ho-
nonr is doubtless owing 10 the intimate
conneHion which suhslsis between that
gentleman q The pecunary arrangements
made by France for satisfy ing the de-
mands of the allied powers.
We l,a,. received This morning some
New York papers 10 The Goth uIt. An
article III the National Iniellisencer
states upon the authority of letters from
Georgia, that General JACKSON took pos
session oil PENSACOLA on the 2lst of
May. IL appears he made certain requi-
siiions, which either were not or could
not be complied with, and in consequence
he carried The fortress by storm. If this
account he correct, war is substantially
declared against Spain by the United
States; but we still think il probable the
latter would not precfpiiaiely embark in
such contest, for she must know hat il
would be more injurious 10 herself than
to her antagonist. The losses her nier-
camille interest would sustain from suvi,
war, not by Spannrds perhaps, but by
2rivaieers sailing under Spanish colours,
would make even the eventual possession
o! the Floridas, dear purchase. That
HE acquisition of these territories is a
faverite policy with the American Go
vernment, is known from facts, and might
be Inferred from circumstances. IL would
make the southern portion of the u. 5.
compact, while the different stations and
harbours aloIg the Mexican Cali,
would be of iIcalculabie advantage in "a
maritime point of view. The latter con-
sIderation indeed, might suggest the pro-
prlety of England watching the progress
OF hertransaiiantic riva! in this affair.
