that the spinners, TO the numher Of $4,000, /
still continue to bid defiance TO their EN-
blowers. and are stibsisting- upon their

labonrers appears TO be quite extensive;
and Il Is even stated that remiitances to !
these people have been made from the /
mechanics Of London. SONG of the Eng

subject.
A singular circumstance is mentioned
as having taken place on board the ship
Emanuel, Capt. Spripgal, bound to Eisi.
nore.. As Capt. S. was sailing by the gun
fleet beacon, in the Swim, about 6 miles
from land, the vessel was suddenly visited

as they fell, they were assailed with sue.
cessive swarms for four full hours.

The plincipaIities of Modayia and WaIla-

Gen. Jackson's official account of the
capture of Pensacola was received in
London on the first of August. The
London papers abound in remarks and
lspeculations on the subject Bells Week.
" Messenger, in announcing the capture,
thus remarks.
In some Of our former papers We
have found frequent occasion TO call the
attention Of our readers to the secret
policy of the Americans, and to those
gradual, but not insens;ble, approaches,
by which they were moving to the at.
tainment oil an important object. We
observed, that the character of Franklin,
and the early American revolutionists,
was deeply impressed upon the American
government, and from their time to the
present. constituted the characteristic Of
the American as an executive-so natural
is II to initiate the maxims and manners Of
those whom we are early taught to admire.
Now the characteristics Of Franklin were,
long and sagacious foresight both of his
object, and the most suitable means of at
tanning it--a slow, gradual, and business
Ike preparation and progress, and pa
tent expectation of due seasons and OPP
portunities. By this prudence, as we
may see in his life and writings, he not
only secured all his objects, but procured
them at the least cost, and with the least
rlsque. And such is the character of the
present American government. They
have long, and manilestly, retained an i'm
portant object within their view; they
have been upon the watch for the due
time Of securing it, and they have deem
ed that time to have at length arrived.
" 1t is unnecessary to say, that this OBJ
Ject IS the occupation Of the Floridas.
The vast continent Of America, as laying
in the Atlantic ocean from north to south,
is naturally divided into two great parts,
OF which the north extends from the Pole
to the Gulf Of Mexico, where the narrow.
lsthmus Of Darien connects it with the
southern part. Now, from north to south,
the whole almost Of this northern portion
belongs to the United States, except only
The province of the Floridas at the south.

States from the sea coast Of the Cuff oil

object with the government Of the United
states to procure these provinces, aud

greater part OF our public writer's, indeed,
