LONDON, February l6.-We have re-
ceived this morning American papers 10
the 10Th ult. from which we extract the
following message of the President TO
both houses of congress, upon laying be-
fore them the documents relative 10 The
occupation of Amelia Island These do
cuncnts consist Of letters that passed be
tween General Aury and the officer Gem
nianding the American expedition. They
are not very important, but there are parts
of the Presidents message, which evil
IDENTITY point TO the more than probable
occupation Of The FIoridas. If Spain can.
not prevent that contiguous Territory from
becoming injurious TO America, then A
mrrica will feel ii her duty TO take pos
session of it. That is the real purport of
the message.
The marriage of the princess Elizabeth
and the prince of Hesse Hombourg is
expected TO rake place in Easter week.
Passengers from the Cape of Good
