The tetter of general Jackson to the governor of Pensacola, a copy of which was transmitted to you in mine of the 2nd olt. and with its answer, were writ ten, not as you allege, at the turbulent period of the' late war between the United tflatps and Great Britain, but as their tladfs will shew, more than a year after thl conclusion uf the peace. The tort had lieetftriiilt, upon Spanish territory, under thjf sufferance ol Spanish authorities, by British officers, djiring the war, fur annoy nnce against the United States. Alter the peace,-it remained the strong hold of fugilive negro and Indian robbers, and murderers, which the governor of I’ensa cola, when summoned by general Jackson to destroy, alleged bis inability to doit, without reinforcement and further orders which, as the event proved, were never received. I have the Uonoi to inform you, that or ders have already been forwarded to the commanding officers at Paiisacola aud St. Marks, to deliver up those juices confor mably to the notice in my letter to you of the 23d ultimo, to the former governor of I’ensacola, and commandant of St. Marks, respectively, or to any person duly autho rised from you, or from the governor gen eral of the Havana to receive them. lam further instructed by the president to assure you of the satisfaction with which he has seen, in the last paragraph of your letter, your expectation ol being speedily enabled to make proposals containing the basis of a treaty, which may adjust, to mutal satisfaction, all the existing differ ences between our two nations, and bis -earnest hope that this expectation, in the fulfilment of which this government have confided, and adopted measures corres ponding with it, may be realised at an early day. 1 have the honor to be, with high con sideration, sir, your very humble aud obedient servant, John Quincy Adams, [thamcatiox.] Don Lois de Onis to die secretary of stale. Sir: 1 have received you official note of the 24th of Auguft last, in reply to mine of the 5th of that month, and 1 Tin of July preceding, and I coincide with you in the opinion, that it is superfluous to continue tile diScussiuli on the conduct of - the American general in the invasion of Flor ida, since the simple knowledge of acts of this description and notoriety sufficiently indicates that justice, which 1 am persua ded cannot be disemblcd in the view of un prejudiced reason. 1 shall therefore not dwell further on the well louuded arguments and ilucu- jiiciiij J. li»v« produced in mv notes on tins subject; but merely rclernag to them, i (save to iusist on, and demand of the guv. of the U. a. that most just satisfaction winch I have already required of them, in the name of inj sovereign, and is iinperi- ■ously claimed by the intcgiity of his mon archy, and the honor of Ins crown. I immediately communicated to my go vernment the determination which you 4id iu« uie lioimr to state to me, that or ders had been given to the American com manding office)* to deliver up the posts .fit Tcnsacn.a and St. Marks, to such Span ish aliilioiiues as might be duly authorised quist'e in (he case. Anxiously desirous to sec the basis of treaty e-tibli-hed, to the satisfaction onto governments, I await the result the negotiation pending As you know) Madrid, information of which must soen be ieceivcd hoc, that we may proceed conformity to it. and it being fully evin cod. that the king, my master, has the >oo,t i-ariiest wish to do what may be ino Ogre able to this republic, even to the dim inution of Ins own interests, as far as compatible with his honor and dignity, doubt noi, that in one shape or anotl we may attain the most equitable modeo effecting a settlement, on terms mutually satisfactory. I reiterate the assurance of my disliu guished consideration, and pray God to preserve you many years. Luis De Onis. JBrittoi, 1 1,5 September, 18.8 [translation.) Den Luis dc Unit in the tccretary nf state. Sir: Whilst I make known to you that have received new orders and instructions from my court, to resume the* negociatiou pending between the government of the United States and lint of Spain, anil to a gree with you as to every tiling that may lie convenient and proper, ttv give effect 1:1 as short a time as possible, to the Jesir e«l general and definitive arrangement of all the differences which txist between the two governments, 1 ought also to inform you tnat his Catholic majesty ratified, on the 9th of July last, the convention signed on the 11th of August, 1802, and rallied year ami a half alterwards by the presi dent aud senate of the United States, have received the ratification by his majes ty, and am ready to prucei », with you, to the corresponding exchange, if the presi dent deems it proper; but i think l ought before it is done, to make to you some ob serrations on this point. The king my master agreed to ratify, at tlie time he did, the convention of 1802, as well in compliance with the verbs! intima lions given to bis secretary of state by Mr Li ving, minister plenipotentiary of this re public, as from a desire not to omit, on bis pa.-t, any thing which migiit be agreea ble tu youi government. It also occurred to his majesty, that there might be some obstacle or delay in the desired arrange ments and definitive agreement, respect ing the pending differences between tli two governments; and the aforesaid ratifi cation of that convention, being represent cd to him as a conciliatory measure, and very agreeable to the United States,be did not delay an instant in acceding to it.— But you know very well, that all the points comprehended in tnat convention fur.u part ofthe pending ncgociationjand that the- general and definitive arrangement, which I hope soon to conclude with you, being intended to embrace all the claims to which either power has a right, against the other, and ail the differences which ex ist, or have heretofore existed, between them; that that convention will necessarily be abrogated, the points to which it is lim ited being included in the said arrangements and definitive treaty. For these reasons, which are obvious, and entirely convin cing, I leave it to your consideration whe ther we should proceed to the exchange of the ratifications uf the said convention, or wait until, the first basis being settled and agreed upon, by means of propositions I will instantly make to you, may be able to judge, whether the general and defini tive treaty, which must put attend, in a solid and permanent manner, to all these discussions, will be concluded as quickly as we desire. I await your answer; and, in the mean time, I renew to you the assurances of my constant desire to serve you. God preserve you many years. Luis De Onis. Washington, 18/A October t 1818. The Secretary of State to Don Luis de Onis. Department of State, Washington, 23<i October # 1818. Sir—r have had the honor of receiving your letter of the 18th inst. and am direct ed by the president to assure you of the grr&t satisfaction with which lie has learn ed that you are prepared to exchange the ratifications of the convention of 1802. Anxiously desirous as he is of seeing brouglitto a termination mutually satisfac tory all the subjects which have been so long in discussion between the two govern ments, the president receives this ratifica tion as an earnest, on the part of his Ca tholic majesty, of that conciliatory dispo sition winch, he flatters himself, cannot fail to extend to a more general and satis factory adjustment of all the other objects in controversy between us. He mrects me, therefore, to accede to your proposal of postponing the exchange ofthe ratifica tions, and to assure you that I shall be ready to receive, whenever it may be agreeable to you, the propositions which you inform me you are prepared tu make; and which will be considered with the most earnest desire of establishing, by a prompt and honorable agreement, the most per fect good understanding and harmuny be tween our countries. I tender you, sir, the renewed assur ance ol my very distinguished considera tion. Yesterday afternoon the ship Manliat tan. capt. Macy# arrived at this port in days from Liverpool.

The following is a copy of the lette from lord Siduuiuth, announcing the ilea of her majesty to the lord mayor of Lon don. It is transmitted to us iu manuscri by our attentive correspondent in that citv:— Whitehall, .V.r. 17, 1818.

On perusing the news of the death of the Queen of England, it will not escape tli recollection ol our readers, that precise’ one year ago, we published the intelligence if the death of her grand daughter, tli princes Charlotte of Wales. Tne youth iul princess and the aged queen, botl died in the same month of the year, and the information of both events reached thi city on new-year’s day. An article from Vienna, of Oct. 31st states that the emperor of Austria was quit Aix-la-Chapelle, about the 20tli ol November. It is rumoured on the continent, tha England is to exchange Hanover for He gium, ceding the former territory to Pi us sia. The Courier says, that this report mprobable. On the 14th of Nov. theie remained i '’ranee, only 5,431 British troops. Of these, 3000 were to remain at Valencennc and Baiubray, until the 20tii of lliat inor.t! A letter Irom Aix-la-Chapelle, ol Nov 10, contains the following: “From motives of which we are ignorant, the close of t! conferences has been deferred. It is not yet ascertained whether this prolongatioi will cause a delay in the departure of th uvereigns.” A letter of the 8th says, that the congress have taken into consideratio the fate of Napoleon.

Transports are collect ngfor the embarkation of troops, The Dublin Evening Post of flic 15l! of Nov. has a postcript dated 3 o’clock stating that a rumour was circulating ihruugn Dublin, that Napoieon had cscap ed from St. Helena. We find this article copied in the London Sun,of the Kith with out a remark. General Gourgaud, the officer lately re moved from St. Helena, by order ol sir Hudson Lowe, was arrested at his lodg- ngs in London, on the 14tli of November >y a warant from the secretary of state’s office. The general, a few days previous; nad been served with an order to quit the country, under the provisions ol the Alien act, but not complying, officers were sent to carry the warrant into execution: Gour gaud made considerable resistance, in which the officers were severely injured The Times lias pulished a letter said to be from Abraham Thornton in which Thornton delares himself tins murderer of Mary Ashford. Thornton sailed Irom Liverpool, on the 30th of Sepl. ill tile Shamrock, McKown for Bailtimore' It will be seen by a letter from St. Helena, that a correspondence has been intercepted, which discovers the existence of a plot to carrv off'Bonaparte.

Sir Gregor M’Gregor has sailed from the Downs with his staff, composed of col onel O’Hara, captain Laye, the honorable captain Semple, captain Culclough, and several others.

I lorbear to mention the names iur rently circulated here, of those who ar said to be implicated in this transaction; banker’s house in London, however, tw individuals in England, with others on tl continent, it is rumored, are coneerner Detection of the plot was produced by the circumstance, it is said, of many lette addressed to a person, (the name of which no individual is-to be found here,) lyiu uncalled for at tlm post-office. Bonaparte is in very good health, he still however, ah ‘•tains from exercise, confining hiiuselt wholly within doors. The reason assign ed at Longwood for the departure hence of general Gourgaud, is a quarrel between nun and general Montholon. Gourgaud had been challenged by the latter, but Bo napartc forbidding them to fight, Gour aud quitted. It is confidently said Bo naparte has recently obtained the sum ol 15,000t in dollars; through what means tnis weighty bulk could have been carried clandestinely to Longwood, is still a inat ter of surprise. The discovery ol the plot lias already brought to light where th w hole of Bonaparte’s treasure is deposited Bertrand some time since asserted Ii oiilil at any time command a millioi sterling. O. the three couiniissioneis, one mly remains on the island; those of Rus ia and Austria are gone to Rio, to tak up their abode some time. Bonapa, I willmitadmiteitiicrone ol them to luspre sencc; the Austrian commissioner, baron de Stunner, who returned some week since to bis court, did not, dui ing the Jon period he i emained on the island, once see Bonaparte. This island is not healthy for a con t.iuued residence; it is for many hour: ‘.very day, covered with vapors and dense fogs, and it does not yield a sixth part of sufficient vegetable substance for the use o the troops dj‘seamen. The inhabitants ar wholly excluded fromallmeansnf livelihood no ships are allowed to remain herelonger than isabsolutely necessary; all supplies come fiYim the cape, but they arevery scan ty, and wliat fresh meat is afforded from this channel is wholy engrossed by the troops: the ships never get a meal of it; and dur- ng the last five months they have had on ly one third bread, no cocoa, and no pease the deficiency is wholy made up of rice.— Dysentery, consequently, prevails much; and ail the vessels have lost many men; the Musquitohaslostabout23in3 months,and he Conqueror has scarcely seamen enough on board to work the ship. But notwith- tanding this weak state, the sqqadron has furnished 300 men to assist in buil ding a new house for Bonaparte of the most capacious dimensions. The seamen, after the days work is over, are marched to another part of the .stand, to be encamped for the night. Every ship furnishes guard boats which row round the island, and as they approach the vari ous points, are always challenged by the ccntihels. A short time since, one of the of war, in working to wind- ard of the island, discovered two men in a rave on the siiorc; she ac cordingly sent a boat, and brought off' tw|o Yamstnck (native) negroes, who bad been fishing; and who, it ap peared, used to get to the beach " urn the top of the Cliff by a secret but langerous path, A new battery was con sequently immediately ergeted,and it was by this unknown outlet, it’is said, that the real man was to be carried oft’. W e are cunstar.tiy amused with stories of schooners hovering oft - the island; the cruisers certainly sometimes see such, but never board them. A transport Irom the ape lately passed, one close, lying to, to indward abuut 80 miles from the island, bicli took no notice of her; she might, however, have been slaving, or looking out for Spanish or Portuguese Indiamen: she vas a large long schr. of 18 guns, and ap parently full of nieu. The troops here are more healthy than the seamen are; many casualties, however occur among the form er—several sentinels have been lost by falling over the cliffs.”—Hampshire Tele- •aplt.

Mr. Fell—It has been remarked w ith very com siderable surprise, that the proprietors ofthe TheL atre l ave attended so little to what may husw seemed unimportant particulars connected with that budding. Although t have teen a regular attendant on the thealre, l did not discover until Saturday night, (when the tumult occurred ir. de fiance of the managers—iheir regulations and their officers, if they huve a *y, for there was no evi dence of either, but the contrary ) that there was but one door through which the audience could escape from the building, in case of any extraor dinary occasion. Probab r y % there may never be an occasion tor any morej but should it so happen, which is possible, it will then be discovered that one dvjoris not sufficient for 6'jO or 700 people, thrown into general alarm ar.d commotion, to s- cape from destruction. No doubt the people of Uichmond entertained as little apprehension of daaKfe&s those do, who attend cur theatre; nor iy sec the necessity fora greater number of doors to their ikeatre than it had; yet, when the awful probability was once rcahztd, it *. .*$ then too late to make improvements. And is it rbt passible that an alarm of a like kind, crof some other nature, may be or.ee created in our theatre, of such a character as to produce such general consternation that would certainly cause many broken limbs, and perhaps deaths. These rellections have led me to suggest the necessity of certain alterations, improvements and regulations; and, until they are done, or assuran ces are given, that they will be done, I .‘hall with hold my patronage, and 1 trust every citizen who regard, his own safety, the safety of his family and his friends, will come to the same determina tion. 1st. Prohibit a certain description of our popu- slion from the privilege of going to the thealre. 5 he necessity of this measure was obvious on Friday night, from only one circumstance, which ery much annoyed the audience below, 'ihey cannot possibly derive any benefit-^'aiul evils wiki certainly ultimately result. In no other place, perhaps, south of Philadelphia is tins privilege al lowed, because, experience has proved the danger f it. More attention should be given to the lights within the scenery. In those instances some of the shil ling scenery had been discovered so much smoked as to be perfectly Mack; and in one instance i’ had the appearance *pf having been burnt; and this was the general conclusion. od. There should be more outlets, particularly from the pit. 't here is now bqt one, and that so .itracted that not more than one person can ascend or descend at the same time. This is an alt eration all-important, and absolutely neces sary. There should be a large door on the south and one on the north side ofthe theatre, opening from the pit. The alteration that has been re- ently made, although it may be a convenience to the box ami door keepers, is certainly injudi cious, and very objectionable. These two addi tional openings are therefore earnestly recom mended ; and assurances at least, are required to be given that this will he attended to before evils felt from the want of them. If not necessary to be used on common occasion.?, they should be made to be used in cases of emergency*. DISCKETION. Mr. Editor—My friend “ CantIo~” in the Gt9r- pv'rtw, of Saturday t has forced me (though not in voluntarily) to apologise not only to Mr. Dalton, but some other respectable performers ibr emit ting their namt9 in the list of those, whom, in my opinion, merited the patronage ofthe public.— Permit me, sir, to assure those gentlemen that in- 'Ivertency alone could have induct’d me to over look them, and by way of reparation (which is certainly due them) I here pronounce, I hope to see those gentlemen equally successful to those whom I have previously nominated, and I peg them to be assured no personal incentive could have induced me to neglect them, and as public ^ character* 1 have con tan tly admired in their sever al capacities. Again I apologise for the uninten tional oversight, and take this opportunity Ip thank Candor** for imposing on me the pleasing pen ance of doing justice to -worth Permit me, sir, to annex a few remarks on the “Hattie oj New-Or^ leans” that is, as it was represented at our Thea tre on Friday last. From Mr. Dunlap’s celebrity dramatic composition, 1 was induced to expect least a passable production; but, notwithstand- ing my reverence foij, the ever-to-be respected theme, (and that is the only merit of the piece,) \ was forced at the* end of the Jirst act to exclaim^ ‘vVo more of thisS” I have no doubt the perform ers done all It their power, and exerted their ge% nius to gloss over its imperfections, but all in vain 4 for they could not induce the audience to think the genius of the author-*«Aininy one. If thereat battle had been so-sptedily terminated it would not have merited an anniversary commemoration, nor would * Britain” have such ample cause to mourn the day, as she has. The last scene reminded me of the days ©f Sir John Falstcjf, and I was induc ed to believe Ins descendants (the red coats) had inherited his memorable valor, wherein *'discre+ ' '**> don is the be’ter part ” for they se»med to fall by “instinct ” as if they dreaded to stand before the fire from the Americans. Shortly after the cur tain fell, and I imagine by “instinct” too, in order to screen the performers from the censure which the author merited. The title of the piece com manded our respect, so did the actors, but not what they acted. I would recommend the manager to play it as a Farce for tlie future. JUS fTTIA. m SHIP NEWS.
