File Spanish government is lint at this day

with savages; that sa*agt s make no pri

no quarter; that they put to death without

have been applicable, in their must heart -
sickrning horrors, to that war, left us by
Nicholl*, as his legacy, reinstigatcd by
Woodbine, Arbuthnot and Ainbrister, and

I'he justification of thv«e principles i*

sorse than Indian barbarities of European
imposters, pretending u ‘thority from their
governments, but always disavowed, can
be punished and arrested. Gi cat Britain
vet engages the alliance and co-operation
id savages in war. But her government has
invariably disclaimed all countenance or
luthoiizitinn to her r-uhjects to instigate
them against us in titne of peace. Vet *o
it lias happened, that from the period
of our established independence to this
day, ell the Indian wars with which we
have been afflicted have been distinctly
traceable to the instigation of English tra
ders or agents, always disavowed, yet al-
ivavs I'ylt', inure than once detected, but
never before punished. Two of them, of
fenders of the deepest dye, after solemn
warning to their 'overnment, and iudividu-
a-ly to one of them; have lallrn, fla
grant delicto, into the hands uf an Ame
rican general: and the punishment inflict
ed upon them has fixed them on high as
an example, awful in it' exhibition, but,
we tiustauspicious in its results, ot that
which awaits unauthorized pretenders id
European agency, to stimulate, and enler-
po-e in wars between the United States
anil the Indians, within their control.
This exposition of the origin; the causes,
and the cliaiacter of the war with the Sem
inole Indians and part of the Creeks com
bined with M‘Gii'gor’s muck patiiots irnl
Nicliull’t negroes, which necessarily led
our trooii* into Florida, and gave rise tu
all those :,mdei.! .«.f which Mr i'izarro so
vehemently complains, will, it is hoped
enable you to present other anil sounder
views of the subject to bis catholic majes
ty’s government. It will enable you to
show that the occupation of Pensacola and
St-Marks was occasioned neither by a
spirit ot hostility to Spain, nor with a view
to extort, prematurely, the province front
l>er possession; that it was rendered nece*
sary by the neglect of Spain to perform
her engagements of restiaining the In
dian* from hostilities against the United
States, and by the culpable countenance,
encouragement, and assistance given to
those Indians, in llicir hostilities, by the
Spanish governor and commaiidantat those
places: That the United States have
right to demand, as lhv president does de
mand, ol Spain the punishment of those
officeis for this misconduct; am! he lur-
tiler demands of Spain a just and reasonable
indemnity to the United Slates for the
heavy ami necessary expenses which they
have been compelled to incur, by the fa
lure of Spain to peiform her engagement,
to restrain the Indians, aggravated by this
demons':ated cnnqdieiiy ot her enmmand-
" officers with them, in their hostilities
gainst the Ui ited States: ’lliat the two
Englishmen executed by order ol general
Jackson were not only identified with the
savages, with whom they were carrying on
the war against the United States, hut that
one i.f them was the mover and fomentvr
of the w.rr, which, without his interlerencc
and false promises to the Indians of sup
port from the British government, never
would have happened—tliat the oilier vva-
Clic instrument of war against Spain as welt
the United States, commissioned by
.\«*tiregor, and expedited by Wood-
ome, upon their pi eject of conquering
Florida with these Indians and negioesr
That, a* uconnplics of the savages and,
sinning ug inst their better knowledge,
worse than savages,general Jackson, poss
essed of tneir persons ami of the proofs of
their guilt, might, by the lawful and ordina-
ryusages ol war, have hung them both
without the formality of a trial: That, to
allow them every possible opportunity ot
refuting the proofs or of showing any cir
cumstance in extcuuation of their crimes,
he gave them the benefit of a trial by a
court martial, of highly respectable offi
cers: That the defence, of one consisted,
solely and exclusively, of technical cavils
at the nature of a pail of the evidence
against him, and the other confessed his
guilt. Finally, that, in restoring Pensa
cola and St. Marks to Spain, the presi
dent gives the most signal proof of his con
fidence, that hereafter her engagement to
restrain,by force, the Indians of Florida
fmm all hostilities against the United
States, will be effectually fulfilled; that
there will be no more murders, no inure
robberies within our borders, by savages
prowling aloug the Spanish line, anil seek
ing shelter within it, to display in their
villages the scalps of our women and chil
dren, their victims, and to self, with shame
less eflroulory, the pluuder from our

Extract of a letter (So 9) from Mr. Adam* to
Mr. Ervinp, dated
Department of rtale,
' Washington December 2, 1818.
“On the 27th of March last the Spanish
minister here, Mr, Onis, addressed a let
ter to this department, for the professed
purpose of vindicating the character, and
conduct of the Spanish commanding offi
cers in Florida, and of proving that they
had invariably discharged their duties of
friendlv proceeding towards the U, S.ar.d
the obligations of the treaty of 1795, by
which Spain was bound to restrain
tiy force, the hostilities of her Indians in
Florida against theUnited States. To this
l.'tter annexed fourteep documents; ike
•1' iter part uf which consist of remonstra
te', addressed, during the late war be
tween the United States and G' Britain,
to British officers, against their continual
relations of the neutrality of the Spanish
territory: It is not however to these do-
66”| cuint-nts, but to the two numbered 18
anil 14, ns annexed tu that letter, that I
wish to invite yuurattention. 57.] No 13
is the translation of a letter, proporting to
he from Bowlegs, one of the Indian Semi-
mile chiefs most inveterately hostile to the
United States, to Don Jose Coppinger, go-
vet nor of St. Augustine—atranslation you
will say—why a translation? and from
what language? neither governur Coppin
ger nor Mr. Onis furnish the-means of
answering that question. They arc furn
Uihed however by the papers of Arbutlmof
which fell into gen. Jackson’s hands—the
langat.ge was English, and the original
49. was written by Arbuthnot. The draft
was found aiming his papers, and was
produced to the court No. 2] Martial upon
his trial. We naturally suppose that gov.
Coppinger, upon receiving a letter in
English, from a Seminole Indian chief,
must have been supprized, unless he knew
from whom and whence it caijic. The
substance of his answer shews that he did
know, both whence it came and the charac
ter of him by whom it was written. By
the copies of the two letters which are rn
closed you will see, in that ol Bowlegs,' s
part of flic systematic intiigue.nif Arbuth-
not to instigate as well the (Spanish
commander* in Florida, as the. sava
ges, against the United States—ami
in that of governor Coppinger, a direct
declaration to the Indian, tliat all his
supposed cause* of aljrm and complaint
“proceed from the information of person*
“in whom he ought not tn place f'-c smal
lest confidence; it being their principle to
“employ such opportunities for the pur-
‘puse of seducing him and his people
‘from ilieir daily labor.’’ After offering
‘llis own friendly advice, the. governor
•adds,“I am • irful however that the sen-
•timentsmf those who come into the terri-
“loi v, under the appearance of friendship.
•‘but with bud intentions, may influence
‘your minds, and obtain your confidence,
•t»v their flattering representations.”—
•And, finally, he complains, that two per
sons had lately presented themselves, as
‘commissioners ot the English nation, and
■carried of several runaw ay negroes, be
longing to inhabitants o! the province.”
It is apparent Irom this letter, that gover
nor Coppinger was well informed of the
operations of Arbuthnot and Woodbine,
and that ne saw them in their true colors.
How, then, due* it happen that a year af-
terwards the Spanish commandant of St.
Mark* i» »o entirely leagued with Arbuth-
nut, as to sign his name to liie approba
tion of a power of attorney given to him
uv the hostile chief-, to «"i ite letter* and
deliver talks in their name*—to iioid
council* of war with them at his quarters
to hold, as prisoners, white persons, in
habitants of the province, t aken by them
rid to write a letter to Arbuthnot, ask
ing hiui to come and conl.r with him upon
subjects, which could not be eoiniciited to
paper? 'Flic Original »l that letter, which
1* in bad French, and in the 4n] band wri
ting of the onmmand^nt i t St. Marks,
signed by him, is id our pu*sessjon, a copy
of it is among the papes enclosed. We
cannot doubt that the Spanish government
will consider it a* a pi oof of the timspiea-"
cv of the commandant of St. Merks w ith
thuot and the Indians against th -
United States.- Should he be put upon
his trial, in ruu are instructed to demand,
the original tetter, itself, wilt be transmit
ted, to be exhibited to the court.
It is to be observed, that the original
draft, in tile hand writing ot the letter of.
Bowlegs to gov. Cuppl’igei 1 .diEf-.s
eral iwragrapli* from the translation com
municated by Mr. Onis, as received by
him from gov. Coppinger. Th« folio win
ms*ige particularly, which appears in the
diaft produced before the court martial,
is no* in the translation furnished by gov.
| Coppinger: “The Spanish subject* in the
“Floridas, are too much in the interest of
“tire Americans to be our friends: for the
“governors I shall always entertain the
“greatest regardj'but for the people, they
“do not act so as to merit my esteem am!
“protection.” The remainder of the let
ter i* nearly the same. We do not sup
pose that the omission was mxde by the
gouernor, but rattier that Arbu'hnot, yet
uncertain how sficii a reflection would be
received,omitted it from the letter itself,
which was transmitted to the governor.
