Of the war, which, without bis interference
and false promises TO the Indians of sup
port from the British government, never
would have happened--iha. the other was
The instrument OF war against Spain, as well
as the u. States, commissioned by MGre-
gor, and expedited by Woodbine, upon
their project OF conquering Florida with
these Indians and negroes: That, as ac-
completes of the sasages, & shining against
their better knowledge, worse than savages,
Gen Jackson, possessed of their persons
and of the proofs Of their guilt, might, by
the lawful and ordinary usages OF war, have
hung them both without the iormality OF a
trial hat, to allow them every possible
opportunity Of rsfutihg the proofs or oi
showing any circumstances in extenualion
of their crimes. he gave them the benefit
of trial by court martial, OF highly re-
spec able officers: That the defence of one
consisted, solely and exclusively, OF tech
nical cayils al the nature OF part of the eyi
dence against him, and the other confessed
his guilt Finally, that, in restoring Pen
sacola and st. Marks to Spain, the Presi-
dent gives the most signal proof oil his con-
hdence, that hereafter her engagement to
restrain, by force, the Indians OF Florida
from all hosiilites against the United States
will be effectualiy fulfilled That there
will be no more murders, no more robberles
within our borders, by savages prowling a.
long the Spanish line, and seeking shelter
within il, TO display in their villages the
scalps of our women and children, their
victims, and to sell, with shameless effron-
terry, the plunder from our ciizens IN Span
ish forts and cities that We shall hear no
more apologies from Spanish governors &
commandants, OF their inability to perform
the duties OF their office and the solemn
contracts OF their country-no more ex-
cuses for compllances 10 the savage enemies
of the United States from the dread OF their
attacks upon themselyss-no more haFbor-
ing OF foreign imposlsrs, upon compulsion;
that strength sufficient VIII be kept IN the
province to restrain the Indians by torce,
and officers empowered and instructed 10

faith OF the nation, by tie effective iulill-
ment of the treaty. Inc duty OF this gov
ernment 10 protect the persons and proper

OF all her territorial rights and Neutral OBJ

States
if the necessities of sell defence should
again compel the United States 10 take
possession OF The Spanish iorts and places
in Florida, declare, With the cahdor and
frankness that becomes Us, that another
