FROM PENSACOLA.

An officer in the United States army, now
in the vicinity of Pensacola, informs. his
friend in Boston, 81 that the Spanish Cover
nor is erecting new works near the Barancas,
with great zeal that every man in the gar
rison is employed on fatigue duty, the COVER
nor himself setting the example; but that,
whilst every exertion is making to put the ci-
ty in the best state of defence, the Spanish
authorities trsat the Americans who visit the
place with the utmost respect.
