Washington, July 2iY
FROM

The following extracts OF letters rom
friends in Florida to the Editors, shew
that the American authorities received
possession OF St. Augustine on the 10th
inst. in the most amicable manner ana
that fortress is now garrisoned by the
troops of the United States. 1t appears,
however, that the necessary preparations
for the embarkation of the Spanish troops
from Pensacola were not expected to be
made before the Goth of this month. 80
that the article purporting to be a post
dated proclamation Of general Jackson
the publication of which we have already
noticed has been, we are persuaded with
out intention, deceptive and delusive, and
must have a mischievous effect. 1t Is
quite probable that the proclamation has
not even yet been put forth.

Pensacola, June 81, 1921.

The Spanish flag still waves here, and
there is no hope ola change before the
Goth Of July. The royal order arrived on
the 10th. by the Hornet, from Havana,
where that vessel had been detained six
weeks, for what cause | know not
General Jackson Immediately repaired to
the vicinity of this place with tie troops
and is now with his family at the house
of a Spaniard, named Manuel, fifteen
miles from town. 1t seems he cannot
prevail on the Governor to surrender the
town until he is ready to embark. The
unfortunate loss of one Of our transports
will perhaps occasion some delay. The
governor here, is a brave. frank soldier,
but tenacious of his rights, and highly
punctilious. The patience of the general
has been severely tried, but hope every
thing will be adjusted in the most friend
ly manner Indeed, at this late stage Of
the game, it may be as well to forbear in
order to part in a good humor; and such
| am convinced is the intention of the
General.
The population has increased, during
the last two weeks, at the rate of thirty
perday, but chiefly by persoasin ndigent

remain on this point Of history. The Nea.

Wod,esd1U ,~ROrnipg.


The long looked for exchange OF flags
has at length been made here. Will en-
deavor to redeem my promise in giving
you a hasty sketch of the ceremony, nc.
The preparations N the part of the
Spanish authorities having been matured,
| it was determined that a transfer OF this
| Province should be made on Teusday the
10th inst. 1t was accordingly announced
to the inhabitants in a proclamation IS
sued by the governor. The transport
ship was anchored at sea, three miles
from the bar. In order to avoid any dit
ficulty that might possibly ensue from
bringing the American and Spanish troops
in contact, it was previously arranged
that, the movement of the one from the
ship, and that of the other from the har-
| Dor, should be simultaneous. The Span
ish troops, with the exception of a detach-
ment of 40 men, who remained in charge
of the fort, were embarked on board small
transports, on the 9Th, and the same even
ing dropped down to the bar. On the
morning of the 10th. at sunrise, the
Spanish flag was hoisted in fort st Mark,
the name of the fortress at this place.
under a royal salute of 81 guns. During
! the forenoon. tie Am erican troops under
the immediate order of captain Bell. were
transferred from the ship to the United
| States schooner Tartar, and about three
| O'Clock crossed the bar and proceeded to
town, passing the Spaniaros on the way
out. Our troops were landed on a green
adjacent to the town. On their approach
ing the shore our ensign was hoisted in
the fort under charge of an American Of
| icer, on the same standard with a Spanish
color, and a salute of twenty-one guns
fired; after a moments preparation, the
American troops was marched to the fort
and formed in line on the glacis. at the
| entrance of the gateway. In the mean
| time, the governor assembled the subor-
| dinate authorities at the government
house, and, in the presence oil an assem-
blage of spectators, made a formal sur
! render ofthe sovereignty of the province
to the American commissioner; royal
salute was then fired by the Spanish de-
tachment in the fort, and the Spanish
detachment marched out, passing infront
of the American troops and interchang-
ing the usual salutes. The fort was then
occupied by our troops, and a n~ationsl sa-
lutte fired in honor Of our newly acquired
sovereignty. At six O'Clock the Spanish
detachment had been embarked, and we
found ourselves in quiet possession, with
out the occurrence of any incident to dis
! turb the most perfect good will.
Much respect is due to the Spanish au-
thorities, for the spirit of harmony and
Cancellation which they have exhibited on
the occasion.
The feet, consisting Of n ship, six
%schooners, and threee Scoops, will rendez-
vous off the bar to day, and, after distrib-
uting provisions and water, and arrang-
ing the necessary signals, will sail for
| Havana, under convoy of the U. States
schooner Porpoise. They will not pro
badly be able to depart before the 18th
