PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.
The Florida core suon depce has been COM
| municated by the President 70 congress in
Pursuance of their request, aud derives some
additional interest from the last new Spanish
envoy Jodqaia de Anddgua having entered
| u9on slrsin ct complaint 10 our government.
Our readers will recol-ct the nprson mcnt
of colcnsi Czllava, in August las, by the or
ders of general Jackson. in order to effect
| the Surrender by hin of certain documents
in the possession of the former belonging TO
the heirs of Vidal, which he was attempting
to Withdraw from the province. in violation
OF the treaty, and OF the rights ct orphan
children. The measure of general Jackson
was a Judicial act on his part To compel the
di.coveTy ami surrender of these papers,
which he Effected by decisive course Uf con.
duct. He exerciscd the powers vested in
him as the supreme Judge of the province
and pursued the legal course OF proce, ding. -
The Impf isonmebt of Caliava gave rise 10 two
other events which are in pact the subjects

ny Judge Fromentin, and served on genera!
Jackson, fer the release Of CailAva, AMI the
expulsion from the province Of certain Span
ism officer, who remained there after the
time stipulated by treaty.
In this affair Judge rromentin appears 20
have exercised jurisdiction beyond hat con-
ferred upon him. for it appears by etter
from The secretary of s'a'e TO governor Jsck
son, dated October the 9th. 1921, tina. the
President had directed him to Inform Judge
TrOmen'iu that il was understood and intend
ed that bis Jurisdiction should be confined to
! The execution OF the only laws of the Unied
States exceeded TO the territory OF Florida,
! the laws relating TO the revenue aud the slave
trade. 4 the case CT Colonel Caiiava reia,
I ted to neither, Judge Fromentin would seem

/ also appears that previous to the arrival

6ly TO the uesy
| Under ds'e Of November Q, 1921, we have
tie comPl'in; Ct DanJ. de Andsgva on the
SUBJECT OF he expul,ion OF the Spanish off
| Gers by Eenera Jackson in which ne gives
! his answer to TIE reasons assIgred By gen.
erai Jackson for ihis measure and calls on
| the secretary Of state To lay it before the
| PSesioent. 'hs, he may give TO his catholic
MAJESTY the satisfaction which general jack
fon's conduct demands. HIS exceliency,
however, by no means gets over the express
stipu a'ions Of the treaty, by the which off
GERS and troops OF his catholic majesty were
| bound 60 evacuate the province six months
alter the exchange Of the notifications. Iii,
oniy argUmcn,s sTe, that general Jack son
DID rot order away al the Spanish officer, in
the Fiorlds'. aod.'hat he had permitted those
he did rot cxpsl to remain there month
loRS,r than they had a right to do. We

OF this reasoning We shall hereafter b,iefi,
