Mr.. Adams letter to our minister in Spain
was published in London on The eth OF
January. On publishing this letter the edi-
tor of The Statesman remarks:
"a document of high importance from
North America, has been received. II
comes in the form Of an official letter from
Mr.. Adams, the American secretary of
state, to the republican minister at the court
of Madrid; and processes TO be an answer
10 the representations of M. Pizarro, on the
much canvassed subject Of the Floridas.
The view which is here taken BY the Anne
rican government, of the questions at issue
between il and Spain, differs not material.
ly from those which it has avowed on many
former occasions, with regard to the pro-
ceedings which accompanied and follow
ed, or which the statesman Of North Anne
RIGA Guild persuade US had provoked the
seizure of the Spanish territory. This let
ter of Mr.. Adams is considered by the Ma
tional IntelIigencer as the replication ofits
government to the notes and remonstran-
of the Spanish ministry, and as con.
tanning the sum Of the case 10 be establish
ed by the cabinet of Washington, on its
own behalf: but, in fact, il appeals TO the
attention of this country, on grounds much
nearer to the hearts Of Englishmen for
three fourths of the latter: thong nominal
ly discussing the merits ofthe late war with
The Seminole Indians, as it concerns the
Spaniards only, is devoted 10 the single to-
pic of the military butchery OF Arbuthnot
and Ambrister; and discloses, we can hard
ly hesitate TO believe, the principles on
which the American ministry are inclined
to argue, when it may be pressed upon
them by Great Britain, the great question
in which our rights, and interests, and ho-
nor are involved. From the whole of this
paper, with the documents annexed TO it,
the length of which makes it impossible
for us at present TO enter into any detail Of
their contents, we rather suspect that the
American government mean to defend
and justify the conduct OF General jack
son towards the subjects OF Great Britain,
whom ne and bis court martial, between
