KEY WEST The editors Of the American
have been politely favored with the annexed ek.
tract of a letter dated at Key VISIT ON the 10Th
ut:-Nou have no doubt heard before this,
of the arrival of Commodore Porter IN this hal
bonr with the Mexican squadron, consisting
OF one Frlgate, two Briggs and Schooner. lie
schooner was unfortunately dismasted on her
passage out, and has since been rugged INTO an
hermapbrodite brig. He has been nomlnaily
bio ckaded ever since by the Spanish squadron,
under Laborde, OF treble hs force. 1t is impos-
sible for the Spaniards eneoually TO blockade
him IN this port, for the theirs, which are ne
quent and violent at this season OF the year, must
drive them OIL, and in Gains they must be DRIFT.
ed from their stations. We have already had
repeated instances of the fact, which the Com
modore could have ayaied himself OF, had ne
thought proper TO do So Besides which the
North West passage through the harbour affords
an easy and safe ingress and egress TO his small
V essels. | believe, however, it is not his mten-
ton to leave here himself for some time ocome
indie ed cannot help thinking that he is dong
his county greater service by remaining, a, nc
dlyerts all their attention and force towards Nun
aud leaves their own coast exposed to the u'c
predations of the two brigs; independent .,
which, he can support the Navy here one univ
cheaper than he can in Mexico, and Is at ui0
same time making good sailors of his men.
The Colombian squadron is daily expected 10
JOIN the Commodore, who by the treaty ezlS'll5
between the two countries, is to have colnhidna i
OF both. The Spaniards are frequently II S'sn.
OF us, but since the return of the two NeA'e'"
bdgs from their late cruise they nave been Ia
ther shy, and appear to keep at more respes,
t'll distance. They have as yet had no coinl,u .,
nication with the shore, nor do | presume ,sey
will unless from necessity. The Commouoie
got under weight the other day and stood iof UT
reef with his whole force i: as soon as ne wa
perceived by the Spaniards although greatly s ur
perior, they made sail and were quickly ou' "a
view. The name of Commodore Porter na'
struck such panic into the breasts OF the o5an,
ards, that it appears difficult matter Tor 'ie'
ever to get the better of it they will never odio
to fight HIM upon any thing like equal ,e'ip u.s.
He is in good health and fine spirits, but he has
Herculean task TO perform: his two sous a.
