TO TBS 'BMTOBS Of TBS NASHVILLE WHIO,
1 So much has been said and written al
•ready, in relation to the uccupation of Pen
mcole, by the troops of the United States
lately under the command of general Jack
ton, that any new light upon the subject,
is, at this hour, scarcely to he expected.—
Considering what has passed in the coun
oils of the nation touching our foreign re
J ptions; that a association is pending be
ween the United States and Spain, in the
course of whicli, the Floridas are likely to
{la brought under consideration; and re
collecting the course previously taken by
thS Executive in relation to Amelialsland,
afnl appendage of Florida and belonging to
Spain, and that too with the approbation of
congress: adverting to these facts I say, it'
-seems difficult to account, for the unusual
•|tft«re*t f anil-Apparent feelings, which are
. itinnifested by some editors of newspapers,
in relation to this subject.
Most.of these editors, assume it as a fit
•subject to little disputation, that in this
affair, the president of the United States,
or general Jack&on, has acted in a manner
-incompatible with the highly responsible
duties impmed by the office, which they res
pectively hold in our government. Tak
ing the statement in the National Intelli
gencer, of July 27th, to be correct, and
which seems to be-considered as a semi
official expose of the case, it manifestly ap
pears, that the foregoing supposition is
wholly untenable; and that in its adoption
•there has existed some defect of investiga
tion, or some design in the concealment
of facts, which, alone can furnish the basis
of any reasonable conclusion in this affair
It is indeed, curious to remark by what
varied ami dissimilar reasoning, different
individuals have forcibly arrived at the
•same conclusion. The president has done
much too little, or general Jackson has
•done a great deal too orach, in the conduct
of the Seminole war! Though, differing
in every thing else, in this conclusion most
appear to agree; and lawyer-like having
made up an issue between general Jackson
and the president, one, or the other, must
be greatly in the wrong! The president
has failed to give the order to the general,
necessary for the protection of the county,
nr the general has violated his duty as an
officer of the army, in exceeding such or
tiers as he actually did receive from the
executive.
Let us examine the verity of those in
ductions, so confidently announced, ay thr
-ifist of facts, as they have appeared, and see,
what foundation is afforded, to support
the seemingly ' fashionable conclusions,
which have been drawn from them by some
editors of newspapers in different parts
of the union.
In relation to the presidents instruc
tions, to general Jackson, it should be re
collected, that the four orders, alluded to
in. the Intellgencer, were in all probable
-conjecture, directed to general Gaines; who
ihad the command of our troops, on the
•Georgia frontier, before general 'Jackson
•was ordered to repair to that quarter. In
•the latter part of December, major Bank-
bead, by the command of government,
took possession of Amelia Island, to which
place,general Gaines, commanding in that
•quarter, is understood to have been order
ed to proceed. Early in the succeeding
•year of 1817, the war commenced with
the Seminole Indians, and the repetition
•of indiscriminate massacre and pillage,
committed upon the unprotected and un
offended frontier inhabitants, claimed and
called forth the energies of the government,
to stay the tomahawk and scalping knife,
Already red with the blood of Americans;
and which still threatened to be the source
of additional calamity. The hostility of
-the SeminolcTndiaus, which was consid
ered in it* commencement, as the irregu
lar and desultory, incursions of a horde of.
•murderers and free hooters, at length how
ever, assumed a more serious, and perhaps
•unexpected aspect. The president at the
.least, considered it of a character 6o im '
portint, as to order general Jackson, who
was in the military command of one half
of the nation, to p'roceed from his Head
quarters at Nashville, and personally 'to
direct the movements of the army.
This order to general Jackson, must
doubtless have been accompanied by in
structions fromthc executive, to employ
-alt lawful means to put an effectual ter
mination to the Seminole war; a war, which
in its commencement was marked by great
crueliy and outrage, and which, in its pro-
egress, was daily acquiring a much more
• formidable and ^distressing character—
Under these circumstances, we repeat, it
•was, that thepresident though tit necessary
to engSHWruthe-warmoch additional force,
and to order general Jackson in person,
to taka command of the troops, in such
A state of thiags, if cannot reasonably - be
AimpoW^f but that the character of general
Jackson’s orders'from the executive, was'
marked by a latitude and decision, which'
the consummation of it*object necessarily
demanded. It is hence we conclude, and
we deem with an irresistible presumption
for its support, that general Jackson must
have been invested in the outset of the
campaign, with every authority, which
might be lawfully employed, for the spee
dy termination of this embarassing and
savage warfare.
It is stated, that “no alteratives were
left to the U. States, but to have our fron
tiers exposed to the mercy of savages, or
to carry the wariu Florida; and thus to do
for Spain, what she confessed hciself, un
able to do for herself, by terminating by
joree, the hostility of the savages.” A
fourth order was issued by the government,
to this effect, and directing “that if the In
dians should take refuge under a Spanish
fort, not to attack them in that situation,
but t* report the case to the department of
war.”
It must at all times be kept in mind,
that m»^ of toe savages, with whom the
Uuited Slates, were at this tune at war had
their residence within the territorial Jim •
its of Florida; that we were in peace un.i
■amity with the Spanish government; ait«:
that there existed a treaty between tire
United States and Spain, in whicli it is ex
pressly stipulated by the latter power,
that they will “restrain by force, all hostil
ities on the part of the luikan nations, liv
ing within their boundary.” Such being
the relatiops existing at the time, between
the United States and the Spanish gov
eminent, and negociations pending be
tween tne two nations, forbid, the antici
pation, that the subjects of the Spanish
king inhabiting the Floridas, would as
sume an attitude; in the least hostile to
the United States. For it is a fair anil
correct presumption, that nations, as well
as^ individuals, will act correctly anil
faithfully in the observance of their enga
gements, so lar as they are able: and hence
tho’ the president knew that the Indians
iiving within the limits of Floiida, robbed
and murdered our frontier inhabitants
lie could not have anticipated, that it had
been done by the advice, assistance, insti
gation, or connivance of Spanish subjects
inhabiting these provinces. The laws of
humanity and the relationships of amity
existing between the two nations, not only
forbid such a course on the part of the
citizens of Florida, but they were engaged
by solemn treaty with the United States
to restrain the Indians living within their
territories, from the commission of any
violations upon the inhabitants of the Ame
rican States, in their vicinage.
In this supposition then, resulting from
the relationships between the two nations,
that the subjects of Spain were at the least
neutral, if not friendly in relation to the
United States, this order, to respect the
Spanish forts, in case the savages should
take refuge under them, not in them, was
issued to the cominainling general. To
have received the hostile savages in their
forts, and hence to have protected them
against their enemies, would have been an
act of war, on the part of Spain or her of
ficers; which could not, by the president,
have been foreseen. This order, there
fore to die general, to respect the Spanish
forts, was founded of course, on the basis,
that the Spanish subjects and authorities
in Florid;i, were persuing a course of neu
trality, at the least, in the progress of the
war. If that had not been the case, but
the Sp'oish province had been aiding and
assisting the hostile Indians, in the conduct
of the war, the o.-der restrictive of the
mnind discretion of the general, could not
have, existed, but, hetiad been left at liber
ty, to select all lawful means as dictated
!>y passing incidents, for the purpose of
•.fleeting the express object of the cam
paign; viz. the ejjectutzl termination of the
Seminole war. The necessary object of
all wars rightfully begun, is to put an end
to it; or in other words, to procure peace:
and that is necessarily implied, if not ex
pressed, in the orders of the executive:
which confers by necessary”implication.
upon the commanding general, all powers,
compatible with the laws of nations, ami
the usages of war. If the sovereign an-,
thority designs to limit the means to be
employed by its officer, in the conduct of
the war, it is proper, and it is rightfully
expected, that those restrictions, should
be specially and clearly expressed. And
hence, when not made, it would be unrea
sonable to suppose, that any restraint was
intended, which in its effect upon the offi
cer, would have defeated the main objects
to be obtained by his agency.

' “Admiral Brion with his fleet, and Ber
mudas with his army, have lately taken
La Gueria, and with concentrated forces
are ab.mt to inarch along the coast to at
tack Cumana.
“Bermudas is at Caiiaco, between
Corupano and Cumana, about 5 Spanish
leagues distant from the latter place, which
he will attack as soon as Brion is ready to
co-operate from the sea side. This news
has been communicated to me by persons
on whom some reliance can be placed. At
the same lime Morillo is attacked on all
sides in the interior, so that at a time when
the royalists though to rest and prepare
for the next campaign, they are, notwith-
standing the valleys are under water, at
tacked in their very fortresses. This
vigorous and bold conduct on the side of
the patriots, is said to be solely owing to
their chiefs having come to a good under
standing with one another, and seen at
last the necessity of a perfect union, to
which may be added the considerable sup
plies in arms and amunition which they
have lately received from England.
“An officer in the patriot army writes
from Augusturaon the 10th ol last month,
“That Marino, wlui hitherto had acted in
dependent of Bolivar and others, had ac
knowledged Bolivar as chief of the Re
public, as all the other patriot generals
“had done before, and that lie had joined
“hearty in the general plan of attack with
“his 1500 well disciplined troops. Paiz is
“at Fernandez de Apura with 2000 men,
“amongst them 300 English cavalry. Pe
des is now in the plains of Varinas with
“2000 men. Sarassa with about 2000
“men chiefly cavalry, inthe plains of Car-
“accas, who are every where harassing the
“Spaniards, not withstanding the inunda
tions. Prisoners are brought in here daily
“and if the present plan is followed up, the
■“royal army will soon be destroyed. Ber-
“mudas is to act with Brion on the sea
“coast, dftrl Bolivar is collecting here and
“in the plans called “Los Missiones,” an
“army of about S000 men, which is organ
izing under general Anzuati. A great
“number of foreign officers are daily arriv
“ing from all partsofthe world. Foreign
ers are in general treated here very bad
“by every body, (with the exception of the
“corps under the brave Paiz) but particu
larly so the English on account of their
“arrogant pretensions, and bad conduct.
“Colonel Wilson an Englishman, has late
ly been condemned to imprisonment for
“life, it having heen proved that lie at
tempted to persuade general Paiz to se
‘paratefrom Bolivar, he has been sent to
“the fort at Guyana.”*
“Ifi all these accounts are true, I have
very little donbt.tliat if the patriot chiefs
remain united, Venezuela will be cleard
of the royalists in the course of the next
campaign, unless they should receive
strong reinforcements from old Spain,
which however, is not likely. I under
stand there is a proclamation in town
made by Bolivar, as chief of the republic,
dated 15th August in which he promises
victory &c. and calls on all patriots fora
cordial co-operation, particularly on the i
people of Grenada; which he intends to
attack. May it-please the Almighty soon
to stop the horrible bloodshed in these un
fortunate provinces.
“A few days ago arrived here, captain
Brown, of tne schooner Eliza of New--
York; this schooner was bound from here
to Rio de l^<Iatch or St. Martha. Near
the coast she was overhauled by a royal
Spanish privateer, commissioned by the
governor of Rio de la Iiatcha^ who wan
tonly fired into her after having taken in
all sail. While the captain was in bis.
boat, going from his schooner on board the
privateer, thejr were pouring volleys of
musketry at him, and on boarding the
Eliza, one of the Spaniards deliberately
took aim at, and shot a Mr. Williams, part
owner of the Eliza, through the heait!!!—
They then plundered the vessel, and car-,
ried her into Rio de la Hatcha, where cap
tain Brown made a protest, and got part
of the things stolen from him restored, iiis
schooner was so torn to pieces, that he had
to sell her. I understand captain Brown
has made the proper communications to

TnE MACEDONIAN PUT BACK.
Norfolk, Oct. 12.
On Saturday afternoon, arrived at this
port in distress, the U. S. frigate Macedo
nian, John Downes^ esq. commander,
having been dismasted in a hurricane,
whicn she experienced on Sunday the 27th
of September, in lat. 35, long, 55. The
Macedonian sailed from Boston on the
20th Sept, bound for the Pacific- Ocean,
and completely equipped for a two yearns
cruise. Nothing material occurred until
the 27th, when, as they were hourly ex
peeling to fall into the trade winds, and
antiepating a quick run to the Brazil Coast,
they were suddenly overtaken bv the most
tremendous hurricane ever know n to the
oldest seaman on beard, which lasted about
15 hour9,and left their gallant ship ajnis
erable wreck. The tempest is represen
ted to have been indescribably awful, and
the situation of the Macedonian perilous
in the extreme; in the early part of it
William Wilkins, captain of the mizen
top, an exellent seaman, and a worthy
young man, was unfortunately knocked
overboard by the mizen staysail sheet, and
drowned. This was the only casualty
that occurred among the crew.
Previous to the sailing of the Macedo
nian from Boston, she had undergone i
thorough overhauling and repair; and the
trim in which she left that port could
scarcely be exceeded; but .how altered—;
after being only 6 days at sea, she returns
to port with no other vestige of her former * 1
grandeur than her “wooden walls,” and in

MOORE OF THE MARVALOUS.
Extract of s letter dated Woodivilie,-Ohio, July 7,
1818, to his friend in Bolton, Connecticut.
In the remainder -of -this letter I shall
give you an account of a natural curiosity
in the state of Ohio; and rest assured I
shall give you nothing exaggerated. Three
weeks since’ Aaron B. Jones, esq. George
Jones, his brother, and myself, mounted our
horses, taking with us a companion, and
directed our course south weBt from this
place, through a wilderness for thirty
miles, until we arrived on the banks of
Duck Creek. On the north east branch of
of said creek in lat. 38 deg. 39 min. we
found an Old Spring.. This is one of the
greatest curiosities in nature: It is in the
form of a well. I set myself down on the
brink of it to make observations, which
shall be given as nearly as I can describe
with iny pen. The well is about seven
feet from the ed"e of the creek. It has
been afcuratel^ascertained to be torty-
two feet deep from the suriace of the
ground to the bottom, and is three feet in
diameter at the top. A piece of large but
ton wood tree has been hollowed >out and
placed for a curb on the top to prevent
people from falling into it. The oil boils
up continually, like the boiling of a large
soap-kettle, and runs into the creek in a
small stream. It is as fine as any spfrm
oil from the head of a sperm whale. The
quautity which rises is about five barrels a
week. I followed the creek up auil down
nearly three miles, and found it complete
ly covered with oil. 1 found an old ladie
lying near which 1 dipped into the oil and
forced it down into the water, and found
the oil to be three feet deep 1 drew out
with the ladle as fine salt water as 1 ever
tasted in the ocean. J then tried tbe good-
nestrof the oil, and found it t<> burn clear

Augusta, October 17.
A novel occurrence attracted the atten
tion of our city on Wednesday last. An
emigrant from South-Carolina to the Ala
bama territory, attended the clerk’s office
in conformity with a law of our state, and
registered a number of slaves he was car
rying with him to bis place of destination.
Upon examination it was discovered that
a white child, about three years of age was
included in his return of slaves to the
clerk’s office. This circumstance excited
considerable interest, and the cavalcade of
the emigrant was immediately surrounded
byacruwd of eager and enquiringeitizens:
the child was exhibited to them—The con
formation of its system—the “pure and el
oquent blood which spoke” through its fine
complexion—left no doubt, of its origin,
and involuntarily created a fellow sympa
thy in its behalf. The man was taken be-
f ire a magistrate, where he entered a re
cognizance for his appearance at our next
superior court. The child was committed
to the care of a gentleman in this place,
with whom it will remain until the result
of a judicial investigation.
