? vtract of a let'er from the Commandant of
F*ri Charlotte , ]\fc,bile% to 1 g^m$ciriQn zh
BoitimortTy dated. Alay 1* 131/.
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."

^ 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.
