W Coneka on our pew route, and arriv ed at this place last night. I had entertained a hope that the Se minole Indians, apprised of this move ment, would yield to my demand, and thereby obviate the necessity of marching to the frontier, the auxiliary force which you were pleased to put in readiness for the purpose. This hope has not been re alized. On the contrary, it appears from the best information 1 can obtain, that the Serainoles, have made arrangements to collect their force, amounting to up wards of two thousand warriors, and at tack us as'soon as we cross Flint river.— Although I put little faith in their threats, and believe their numbers to be overra ted—yet, under all the circumstances of the case, 1 feel it to be my duly to re quest of your excellency, the,, regiment of Infantry and squadron of Cavalry, de signated for this service; and that they may be ordered to assemble at Ft. Haw kins on the 25th ilisf. or as soon alter that day as may be practicab'e— where the infantry will be armed and cquiped, and the whole mustered and inspected, . by major Nix of the army of the United States. I apprehend it. will not be prac ticable to arm the cavalry, but in part:— It is therefore very desirable that this part of the force, should bring with them their own arms and equipments—other wise 1 shall be under the necessity of putting muskets in the hands of such as I may be unable otherwise to arm.” -U Copy of a letter from, major Tiviggs to gen. Haines, dated “ Ft . Scotty 1 stj\'ov. Sir, —Since my last communication, nothing of any importance lias occurred in this quarter, 1 have u character in confinement, who was present at the mee ting at the Mikasuka town the last of September. The determination of the Indians is, to give up no murderers or others to the whites, and as soon as wo cross Flint river to attack u:s. The chiefs counted the number present at the mee ting—there were 2700 warriors.” (The governor lias issued orders for the drafted militia to rendezvous at the place appointed on the first day of De cember. J . thiTfujrujas. Capt. Arnold of the ship Lucy from (Bordeaux has brought out despatches for government from the American Minis ters at the Court of Spain. It is presu med that these despatches relate to the negociatioas carrying on between the United States and -Spain as to the pur chase of the Fioridas. It is distinctly understood, on very good authority, that Great-Bntain has said to Spain, “ If you chouse too keep the Fioridas it is well; but if you determine to sell them, we think we have a right to the prefer ence and we shall expect the first oiler.” This language has offended and embar rassed the Court of Madrid, although we do not believe it will influence its deter mination; indeed we leel confident that that determination is made, and is now in the United States. We come to this conclusion from a knowledge of the fact that the Spanish Minister, Don Onis, has at tliis moment in his possession seal' P,D DESPATCHES from his COUlt, which despatches he is directed not to open ttit i'd the meeting of Congress!!!
