The Spanish cairimandant at Pensa c^la has refused to buffer our .transports, ~ with provisions Tor the UntVrcT Stated troops stationed itp^n the Conawa and lu> eambia, to -pass vtp vhe bay, .without pay ing an enormous du'y ? and has actually --VWistd the rations which, were designed foi their support. General (i aik es told .me he should consider this as a direct infringe ment erf our tieaty. and an act of hostility, and had reported it accordingly io our gov ernment. I have but little doubt the j*eri cal wjll force the pass, unless he receives t ? lers to the contrary." .%, if** I \ ^ From the A etu-br !ian* Gazette. Tne following letter will be read by the ? public with deep and serious attention Though we needed no new evidence to cpnvioce us of the inveterate malitfni'y of Spanish hostility to the United Stalest as well as its unceasing operauons. >ct it must be acknowledged that < he idea oi inflicting on tr?e#frontier of l,ouisiana the Horrors of an Indian war contains ^>nie thin^ of crueiiy and co.vardic*-, that we did not expect even from ihe ciuel and xowardly government of S^aih. - A? to the letter writer, wno&e name is -mentioned in this communication from the Indian Agent, and whose abdication has recently engaged so much of the pub lic attention, we nave heard of his episto lary talents before. We shull probably soon have it in our power to amuse and ? .edify the pul>Jic~6y spk?ut>^ns oT his cor respondeiu;e* which will show at once his .abilities as a diplomatist, his profound respect for the American government and his'love of the American nation.
