FRoM FLORIDA. = The steamship Alabama,
Capt, Wright, arrived on Saturday evening from
Tampa Bay, which place she left on the 23d inst,
making the run in forty-three hours to this city.
The Alabama was detained at Tampa five days
waiting for lighters. The U. S. steamer Col Clay
arrived at Tampa on the 22d inst.
Mai. w, w. Morris, commandment at Fort Brooke
aud present the acting Indian agent for the Sem
inoes, in the absence of Mr.. Spencer, received on
the 10Th inst. a white flag from the Indians by the
hands Of Philhpee a Spaniard, residing at Sara
Sofa. From the fact that not a sign of hostility
has been evinced since the attack upon the trading
house Of Kennedy & Darling, more than a month
ago. added to the appearance Of the flag the opinion
is entertained that further outrages viii not be
committed, unless provoked by our people, and
those engaged in the last outrage will be delivered
up 1t is thought that the Indians do not desire to
have any war or difficulty with the whites as they
appear to be much alarmed at the presence Of so
many troops in their region of country, and the
preparations going forward. The Indians would
much rather be bribed to leave the country than
to fight, while the white population, feeling con-
stanfly insecure with the Indians in their imme-
date neghborhood insist upon their leaving on
some terms.
Two companies of volunteers, under Captains
Dill and Fisher, were encamped about two miles
out from Tampa Bay. Their services had been
offered to the Government, but Major Morris de-
clined, having no authority to receive them. Maj.
Morris will leave Tampa Bay on the Henry Clay
for Charotte's Harbor, with an interpreter, TO meet
Bow Legs the Seminole chief, at the full of the
moon. The troops on their arrival encamped at
Fort Brooke, the commandant not deeming it me-
cessary TO send them into the interior until the
council was held or Outrages committed. The fol-
lowing is list of the officers now at Fort Brooke,

The Falcon arrived at New York on the morning
Of the lflh. The chief news brought by the Fal-
con refers to the Reg affair, and it is the same as
that brought by the Adams Gray. The Falcon
brought, it is said, large pile Of dispatches from
the American Consul and the Northern papers
which appear 70 be quite cool and rational in the
matter, express the hope that government will place
Them before the public as soon as possible.

All the papers ia this city which have maintained
the verify Of the abduction Of Rey had on Saturday
long and violent articles. assailing and denying the
official documents, which have gone on to WASH
ington. But not one Of them has had the fairness
to publish the papers themselves All their readers
can know Of the papers is to be derived from hos
tile and caFpng description. This mode Of treating
grave question is a very unlavorable sign Of the
spirit which actuates those papers, Its one plainly
partisan Il seeks to make out a case to accord
with preconceived determination it suppresses or
distorts every thing which does not help them to
maintain point. 1t discards openly even the APP
pearance Of fair Inquiry after ruth. Ii is no
part Of duty, even if we could continue to give
up our space 10 this matter to act as counsel dis
cussing the official validity and legal force Of these
documents. The criticisms upon them are so feeble,
and at the same time fanatical, that they would
i refule themselves 20 she understanding of all who
are permitted to read the documents, In spirit
Of Independence, which it seems these people are
incapable of understanding, we have maintained
our own opinion against false and mischieyous
! clanor-and we think successfuily-for nothing
has occurred to shake our convictions that The
charge Of abduction has not been sustained, and
| that the exctement about it has been the product
Of sysemaiic plan for agitation in which the real
merits Of the case itself were last to be considered.
The case, with all the papers, is now in the hands
Of the Government Nothing thatwe can say will
have any influence on their course. We trust, most
ferven,ly, that the fierce and foolish frenzy which
seems TO govern the aetonof the press in this city
will have no effect in precipitating the Admins
tration iato a course Of publication which cannot
be sustained by an enlightened public opinion.
And we are ceEtain that no Administration, having
decent respectfor the couresies Of national inter
course, will assume, without the olearest and most
convincing evidence, that the most trusted officers
Of a nation with whom we are at peace have COM
mitted high crime against our national honor,
and that they are preparing to cover and deny it
by false and forged papers, attended with all the
solemnites Of public SEAL
When this is done, as is demanded by the press
here, without delay, hesitation Or reference even
for consideration to the superior authorities, the
case OF immediate war has come and war under
circumstances which we are assured would not
justify Us in the eyes Of Christian nations,
We will not waste words on the proposition that
war should be made at once, without negotiation
or inquiry by the act Of the President Of the United
States, by his own executive will. We rather
think the Cabinet will look a while first into an
old-fsshioned instrument called the CONSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED STATEs.-We shall wait with a
great deal Of interest to see what will be the course
Of the powers at Washington.
