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.

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.
