of the opposition to cast approbium on

upon suspicion of being concerned in

villi shouts of laughter, brought upon

Pensacola Taken.—We received on Sunday
last, by a private conveyance, the followin^
portant intelligence from our very attentive co
respondent in the Alabama territory, who assures
us that he had seen letters from persons who par
ticipated in the engagement corroborating the sub
sequent account extracted from ah Extra dated
June 2, issued from ths office of the Halcyon, at
St. Stephens.
“ By a gentleman on whose word the greatest
confidence can be placed, who left Pensacola a
few days^ince, we learn, that General Jackson,
after haying obtained possession of the town of
Pensacola', summoned the fort at the Rarancas
(at which place the governor, the troops, together
with some of the. citizens had taken refuge,) to
surrender, on refusal, commenced intrenching
with a view of attempting its reduction by regu
lar approaches, and at the same time the firing
began on both sides, with blit little effect. After
continuing these operations for three (lavs, with
the loss of two on the part of the American forces,
and thirteen Spaniards, the governor surren
dered, on conditions that the Spanish troops, and
all the citizens who might wish it. together with
a very noted Seinninole chief, who was in the
fort, should be transported to the Ha ana at the
expense of the American government It is said
that at the time of surrendering, our forces had
proceeded within three hundred yards of the
fort; and that there Would have been much lon
ger resistance, on the part of the Spaniards, had
not a mutiny taken place amongst them. The
Rag of the United States is now waving over the
walls of the Ilarancas 8cin the town of Pensacola.”
A detachment of the United States’ soldiers, a-
bout two hundred in nomber, under the command
of Major Dinkins, passed near this place on Fri
day last, oh their march to join the army in the
south.
'Galvezton.—It appears on the authority of let
ters from Natchetoches, that on the 17th April,
Lafitte the younger, was on the island of Galvez

says—“An affray to<>k place at St. Mary’s, i>>
which, several officers of the army and navi
with a number of citizens, were engaged. Col.
Hopkins, & several others were wounded. We
have not learnt the origin of the dispute, nei
ther do we know of the particulars ot this un
pleasant rencontre.”
Spots on the Sun.—There are at present three
spots on the Sun's disk, two on his northwest,
and one on his southwest limb ; there were yes
terday morning, three in a cluster on his north
west limb, one of which has since closed up or
disappeared. There are a number of spots on
all parts of Ids surface, which appear and disap
pear as he revolves round his axis; one on or
near his centre, disappeared in three days, and
another in twenty-four hours. The first appear
ance of these spots, the present year, was about
the middle of last April, since which time I have
had repeated observations of them with one of
Richardson’s improved telescopes. The diame
ter of all the spots, on one half of the sun’s
surface, taken together, 1 judge to be about one
fiftieth of his diameter ; now admitting the di
ameters of the earth and sun to he in propor
tion to each other as 1 to 100, it follows these
spots are equal to twice the earth’s diametei ,-or
about 16,000 miles, and consequently cover a
space of the sun’s surface on nut less than two
hundred millions of square miles, which is about
ten millions of square miles mom than the super
ficies of ourglobe.—New-Pork Columbian.
Louisiana.—“ The 30th of April last, was the
15th anniversary of the conclusion of the treaty
ceding Louisiana to the United States. New
Orleans in 1803, contained about OOflO inhabi
tants. It now contains from 32 to 36,000. But
little sugar and cotton was then raised in Louis
iana— mnv 30,000 libds. of the former are raised
a year, and an immense amount of the latter.
The commerce was inconsiderable: now there
are from 1 to 200 vessels continually at the
city ; and above it the river is covered with
Steam Boats sloops, barges, See.
It appears that there are many emigrations
from that place to Cuba, in consequence of the
tempting offers made by the Spanish government
to increase the population and importance of
that Island. The paper contains some cautiona
ry suggestions—hints at the instability of prince’s
favors, the danger of a revolution, fkc-”

latter lay down without undressing—he noticed
it, and distantly with a hellish grin, charged her
of keeping on her clothes to be ready to keep
some appointment as soon as he was asleep, and
without waiting for a reply, seized her by the hair
of the head, drew her on the floor, and then de
