The National Intelligencer contains a
long, interesting and very able letter from
the Hon. John Quincy Adams, Secretary
OF State, to Mr. ErviDg, dated on the 28th
November last, in reply to the note of Mr..
Pizarro, relative to events connected with
the late Seminole war. Our readers will
recollect, says the Boston Patriot, that in
that note, Mr.. Pizarro had the elfroniery
to call upon the government of the United
States to punish Gen. jackson, for the
events growing out Of this war. Mr..
Adams replies to that part Of the note in
the following spirited manner.
The President will neither iDflict
punishment, nor pass censure upon Gen.
Jackson for that conduct, the motives for
which were founded 10 the purest patriot
ism, of the necessity for which he had the
most immediate and effectual means of
forming a judgment, and the vindicaiion
OF which is written in every page of the
law of nations, as well as 10 the first law
OF nature, selfdefence. He thinks it, on
the contrary, due TO the justice, which the
United States have right to claim from
Spain; and you are accordingly instructed
to demand of the Spanish government,
that enquiry shall be instituted into the
conduct of Don Jose Mazot, governor OF
Pensacola, and of Don Francisco G.. Lu-
engo, commandant of ST. Marks, and a
suitable punishment inflicted ou them for
having, in defiance aud violation of the
engagements of Spain with the United
States, aided and assisted these hordes ol
savases 10 those very hostilities against
the United States, which it was their ofli-
ciaI duty TO restrain. This enquiry is
due to the characters of those officers
themselves, and TO the honour of the
Spanish government.
Lei Mr.. Pizarro's successor take the
trouble OF reading the enclosed documents
aud he will discover who Arbulhnot and
Ambrister were, and what were their pur.
poses: that Arbuhnot was only the sue
cessor of Nichols, and Ambrister ths
agent of WoodbiDe, and the subaltern o
M Gregor."
