.Hr. Editor,
The forty.third anniversary of the in
dependence Of our country is rapidly aP-
proaching-it is an event calculated to
rouse the pride, and ezhilirate the feel
logs OF every Anerican--t is a day
which we consecrate as the jubilee Of Ii
herty, the birth day Of freedom. Upon
this occasion we call to mind the illus
trious patriots and statesmen who signed
the declaration of indepeudence-we re.
view the many troubles, the many ankle.
ties, the many difficulties they had to en-.
counter aud overcome, in resisting the
oppression and Tyranny Of the mother
country-we call to mind the disinteres'
ted patriotism, the pure and fervent love
Of country the Spartan courage, the clear.
penetrating and sententieus judgments
that actuated a Washington, Hancock,
an Adams and others-and we feel the
noble. the patriotic glow Of love Of ceun-
try burn within our bosoms as we peruse
the historic page Of our revolutionary con.
test. Ought we not then to celebrate the
anniversary of our independence in a
manner worthy Of the estimation in which
we holl the fathers Of our revolution p
Should we not honor their noble achievs
meut- shoald we not remember with
gratitude those Who pledged their lives
and sac,ed honors in 4 contest, which has
secured 10 US blessings and privileges
which no other nation on earth esjoysf
II we look around upon orr own land,
we behold in arts, in science, in agricul-
tsre, in legislation and morals vast and
rapid improvement--we see all party spi-
rit ard selfish passion Inundated upon
the altar Of our cannon country-and
although the lever is at work in Europe,
and dark and threatening clouds hang
around us, yet we can rejoice in our own
liberties, and be happy in the prosperity
of our country. 1t is hoped therefore,
that the citizens of Alexandria will not
be backward in paving those honors to
the day compatible with the simplicity Of
republicans, and the public spirit Of Ame.

PENSACOLA TAKEN!
We are indebted to DR.. Watkins,
post master at Fort Claiborne. Alabama
Territory, for the following impor'sntin.
teliigence:
0Messrs. Grantlands-I take the Ii.
berty of informing you, that general Jack
son took possession Of the Spanish town
Of Pensacola, on Sunday about 10 o'clock,
without the fire Of gun. The governor
Of the place and some of the inhabitants
have betaken themselves to the Barancas,
with a determination to maintain the post
as long as possible. The general was
making preparations to move against the
Barancas on Monday morning, when my
informant left Pensacola. His force is
said to be twelve hundred, and that OF
the enemy three hundred. The Baran-
cas- is strong, situated at the entrance OF
the harbor; but is commanded BY an
enhance on which there is fort. The
taking Of the latter will insure the former
his soldiers suffered considerably be.
lore their arrival at Pensacola for provi.
sions. They had lost all to about one
hundred and eighty horses-but they are
represented as being 10 the very best spi.
rits, and regretting that an opportunity
Of fighting had not yet offered. This is
very pleasing intelligence to this part OF
the Territory. We are in hourly expec-
tation Of hearing something from thence
great numbers of our citizens left this
place to day for the purpose visiting the
army, and to witness the fall Of The Ba.
rancas. This may be relied on"
Since the above was in type. we have
been favored with an extra sheet of the
St. Stephens nalcyon. Of the Cd instant.
which mentions the fall Of the Barancss,
in consequence OF the mutiny of the gar.
risou, after bomba-dment of three days,
with the loss Of tUo Americans and thir-
teen spaniards. The Post Rider states,
that general Jackson has set out tor his
residence in Tennessee.
The capture Of Pensacola, we think,
will bring our affairs with Spain toa cri-

CAPTURE OF PENscoLA.
ST. STEPHENS. jane 9.


Bya gentleman on whose word the
greatest confidence can be placed, who
left Pensacola a few days since, We
learn that Gen, Jackson. after having Oh.
tanned possession of Pensacola, summoned
the tort at the Barancas lat which place
the Governor, the troops, together with
some of the ci,izens had taken refugee TO
surrender, on refusal, commenced il
trenching with a view Of attempting its
reduction by regular approaches, and at
the same time, the firing began on both
sides, with but little effect. After con-
tinuing these operations for three days,
with the loss Of two on the part Of the
American forces. and thirteen Spaniards,
the Governor surrendered ;-on condition
that the Spanish troops, and all the citi-
gems who might wish it, together with a
a very noted Seminole chief, who was in
the fort, should be transported to the Ha-
wanna at the expense Of the American
government.
It's said that at the time Of su;ren.
dering, our forces had proceeded within
500 yards Of the fort; and that there
would have been much longer resistance,
on the part Of the Spaniards, had not a
mstiny taken place amongst them. The
flag OF the United States is now waving
over the walls Of the Barzncas ard in the
town Of Pensacola. tHaleyor.
