from general feeling on the part of

particular foundation in fact; affront

of the 6oil andfioi^rei^nit^, 1 and a

oejjjability of tlw Spanish aulhorU
ti^to cause goodjwth to the Uni
teoStates to be OTWtved therein.
The sanie papev informs us, that
Petlaacota, if the infortnatjon fit th*"
Biitbr of the Gazette ba coir feci, :
presents an e^tr^nMtwy political
aspect ; that Spanish la^v phi mils as

Ihbselke laws of the U. States arc in
force $ and Mat both Spanish ^and
American property haA beei* seized

The conduct of the Executive
! nnd^of flen. Jackson, in the occupa
tion of Pensacola, had been arraign*
ed by writers in the Georgia Jour*
nal, and one or two other respectable
papers, not to notice the grimaces of
aou)o habitual snarlers directed
j against the former exclusively. The
Kxicutive is blamed for what is term
ed an indirect war on Spain, if the
measure should have been outhori
1 zed 5 and General Jackson i? ceasu
| red, if, without such authority, it
i shall appear tint he lias assumed the
'responsibility of this acL ? These
are poiuts, in attempting to iuvesU
gate either of which we find ourselves
stopt, in liffdney by the question,
what were the instructions of Gen.
Jackson? When that fact is ascer
tained? wo shall not be so entirely at

T^he Jvrm 'ylabie attitude of Russia.
Jti a sketch of the military anil

is kht Wilson, the writer statp*,*
that stnee -AtEXANDEft came first to

has risen, by increase and acquisition,
from thirty-six toyfort t ico millions
of people ; that' Iter territory has l*een
extended on almost every side ; that
her ftwUier is distant Only about two
hundred and fifty miles from Con
stantinople by water* *'"1 three hun

nUshfeettleteeitts hi the East-Indies,,
namely, to Bombay, is only from
tvVeaty-four to thirty days, in both
monsoons ; and to Cailras but tight.
" or ten days longer in the B. Yi y:
mocsoBn"; that from Kamskatka
-they have extended to the nortlwest'
America, 1 where they have made
se veral establishment*, and thatoince
the year 1818, the Russians have
descended the American coast, pas
sed the Colombia Viver live Imudred
I miles, ai)d settled in Padoga, only
llrirty iailes from t^o Spattisu estab
lishments in California.
The writer of this sketch proceeds
to sUte, ; that in t|>e year 1799 Russia^
, had a disposal^. army of only fifty
thousand men) in the year 1807,
not more than eighty thousand, ? nd
in the year 1818 only three hundred
thousand ?n W whole, territory;
whereas in 1817 ste overshaded both
Asia and Europe bv the mass of six
-Inwdrcd and forty thousand men. *
? The fact is,'' Says this writer/ ,
tlwt Russia, after posting thirty
thousand men of appropriate force, j
wilh artillery, ko. iiFinland, eighty
thousand on the fts#tier of (Jallicia,
sixty thousand in Moldavia, thirty
thousand on tlw frontier of \mtni*,
as many in Persia, and leaving 4
reserve of one hundred thousand men
to sustain these a?niics> possesses
still a disposable fore? of aljifte two
hundred thousand infantry, eighty
thousand cavalry, ahd one thousand
two hundred guns better horsed for
service than any artiiery or cavalry
in the world ; an armyj titan which
there is none more lirave, and with
which no other can march, starve, or
suffer physical | solvations and naturaj
inclemencies. She lias, moreover,
a population equal to the needed sup
ply and to a great portion of wltom
the habits and sufferings of wsr are
familiar, while no power in Europe
can raise, equip or maintain their
forces, with such disdain of the price
of blood."
Tlte writer having combined a
number of grand particulars with
tltoMi above-meatiouedj exclaims, ?
'I Sach is Russia ! Such li/is ho en
