AUGUSTA, July lS.-We are informed by an

non OF Francis, that he had in possession when

Prince regent, and a tortoise snuff. box set in

bisil beyond dOnbt, the alliance and influence
OF England with the Indians under the jmris
d'ciion ot Spain. We have long known the IN.
unehce The British have had in Florida, as
well with the Spanish authorities as the Indi
ans-and that thOugh they were EOniinaIly
Spanish provinces, yet they were more under
TIC rule and influence of British agents than
the Cabinet Of Spain.
This proceeded as much, and probably much
more, from the inability Of Ferdinand than
from his arquiesCencei n or cnnnivance at such
measures as have been pursued by the agents
OF British merchants aud trading companies
and confirmed by the ofIicersof Spain, particu
larry an Pensacola. The Spanish officers and
