Notwithstanding the reticence Of the
that the Spanish government has aroused
itself to renewed exertions. so far as the sub

concerned.
From this time~forward desperate efforts

Florida instru cted to exercise greater
caution and use additional diligence in
the apprehension OF those who are believed
TO be fitting out filibustering expeditions
