It is thus only that ‘lie, bui liarities of Indian* run be successful by enco'infered. It is thus only that th. 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 citizens iu Spanish fori* and cities; that we shall hear no more apoligies from Spanish governor* and commandants, of their inability to perfor > the dutit* of tbeir «£ce end the solemn contracts of ihetr country—r,u mure excuse.* for compliances, tn the »avage enemies n! ’..e U.

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. 'l iie papers marked LX 11- LXIII. and LXVIII. are copies of originals, in the hand writing of Aibuthnot, taken with the real of his papers, but not exhibited before the court martiat.
