Spain and the United States.-By the
Dublin Packet, arrived yesterday, Lon
don paper of the 18th October is received
at the Office of the Mercantile Advertiser,
containing Note from the Spanish minis
ter at Madrid, to our Ambassador near
the Spanish court, on the subject of the
Operations of Gen. jackson in Florida
1t is document in the true Spanish char
Iacter, and dwells on injuries which they
lhave never received, and on friendships
which they never felt. 1t is dated Aug. 20,
and comes from Joseph Pizarro, who is
Isince displaced, and succeeded by the
Marquis Yrllo. The minister protests
against the conduct of Gen. Jackson, from
the day he set foot on the Spanish terrific
Try, and states that " in general the terrific
Try o. his Majesty was attacked in the most
revolving manner, the fortresses and depots
of arms have been taken by force, the gar
risons made prisoners, and then sent out OF
the provinces, where his Majesty had or.
dered them TO serve. Nay, subjects of
powers in friendship with his Majesty
have been executed upon Spanish ground,
and this act Of barbarity cloaked with ju-
dicial forms, which, in that situation, and
in those circumstances, can only be consid-
cred as refinement of cruelty"
All negotiations are suspended until the
government of the United States, has
marked the conduct of Gen. Jackson in
manner suitable to its honour"
/ These circumstances are represented as
extremely disagreeable to his Majesty,
whose endeavours have Arrays been direct
ed to making an equitable arrangement of
the matters in debate between the two gov
ernments 1t is also painful to his majesty's
minister, that such an unexpected obstacle
should occur Just at the time when he had
flattered himself with the hope of seeing all
our relations re-established in perfect har-
mony.
| This unhappy interruption may there
fore afford pretext for our thirteen gears
of negotiation to be still further prolonged.
