Sir,?I do myself the lioimr to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of tali fifty, wherein you inform me that circum-. stances have come to the knowledge of your government, through the Charge des Affaires of the King of Spain, that the neutrality of the United States has been violated at Thompson's Island by the naval farces of Mexico under my command, to the Injury of the interests of the commerce of Spain, and that it in made your duty to make proper enquiries into, and investigate, all the matters complained of, for which purpose, it was your Intention to have sailed from this har bour to-morrow, for Key West. I duly appreciate and reciprocate the sen timents and feelings expressed in your letter, and had I not previously determined on leav ing this place early to-morrow morning, having completed the arrangement which brought mc here, I should have had much pleasure in an interview with you, wherein I could have made such explanation as would have satisfied you, and through you, your government, that the charge brought against me of having violated the neutrality of the United States is entirely without foundation. Both my duty ami inclination prompted.mc to respect it* moit scrupulously, and by. so doing only could 1 hope to secure the safety, of the forccs entrusted to me, in the presence of n vastly superior blockading fotcc, which would ghullv,, iio diiuht, seize on any octu*loo that would jestify its attacking me there. 1 have hecu (luii^ aware that complaints hive hern th<1de bv llib'Spanish authorities of the UUnd ,ot Cuba against me,' they were communicated to me by the collector of the port of Key, West, to which I have replied, ?nd the Mexican minister at Washington is furnished qrftli a copy of the correspondence; therefore aflv information on the subject may not my letters and books with me,that I might kave\he satisfaction of placing in your hands a copy of if, which 1 feel confident would prove entirely satisfactory to your govern ment as wellies voumelf. The copy of this correspondence I pledge myself to furnish* if requVed, on' my return to Key West, and, if you will do me the fovor to communicate, in e?>Hcit terras* the precise complaints of the Charge des Affair*,! will most cheerful ly reply to them, with a firm conviction, that I shairmanifmt their fallacy, and, m the mean time, 1 have only in state that when it is no longer agreeable to the government of the United States that the naval force of Mexico shall enjoy the hospital it v of Key Went, and the tact shall be officially r.ommu nicntcd to me* I* shall, so soon as I ain also officially informed that the blockade is raised and the squadrons, now in pursuit of me, have returned to a Spanish port, and the sea left free for me to depart from the anchorage of Key West; cm no other terms should I be juMified in doing so, u? by pursuing a differ ent course, I should bo jeopardising the in terests of the republic I have the honor to I serve.

In re gatd to the com: of Harris ana the other five militia mcu who were executed at Mobile. The regiment, to which these unfortunate men belonged, was received Into the service by the orders of the general government, was mustered for a six months tour, and was paid accordingly, for saM service, as will appear by the muster snd psy r?.lls and by colonel Pipkin's report tome. These roils, with colonel Pipkin's report, the proceedings and sentence of the court martial detailed for the trial, and all the circumstances con nected with the subject, arc, or ought to be, on lecoidat Washington city, where, 1 have no doubt, Mr. Buckner has had a full oppor tunity of examining them. I confidently as sert, that they stamp the allegations of Mr. Buckner with falsehood. The letter which Mr. Buckner now makes I use of, in order to injure my character, is well ascertained to be a forgery. It wss first published by Binns, editor of the Demo cratic Tress, purporting to be a letter from the unfortunate Harris to me. Now this man never wrote but one letter to me, that ; 1 ever saw, or heard of before this publica ; tion, and in-that he acknowledged himself to , be gnilty of the ciioi'mus cr.pus charged agauist him, stated his willingness to meet I the just sentence of the court? If Mr. Buck ner wus as desirous to cull the ttuth troiu the archive* of the nation, a? he is to pluck from me h?y hurt! earned reputation, lie would have seen that Gen. Winchester, who com 1 manded at Mobile the time that this letter ik dated, mode several communications ' to me a.fter that date, and before he hud any knowledge that the battle of New Orleans had been fought. Docs not this circum stance shew the imiJos*ibility of Mr. Harri* ? having this knowledge at the time stated, and ?uil more that lie could have gained it in time to have made it a giouml of application | iv? wj. ua... nf Wan Chester to nte show that he did not receive | intelligence- of the victory until the 17th January; this t'orged litter gives the intelli gence to Mr. Hnrristwodays before. Strange indeed, thst Mr. Harris closely confined In | jail should he so much earlier informed than i the commandant of that post It would give nic great pleasure to send ' you printed copies from the doc utucnts in ! my possession, propeily eertified proving what 1 have here asseited, but it Is impossi ble that this can be done within so short a period as that requested. 1 trust, however, | that the statement here made will be tpffi ?cient, with all honourable men, to counteract the false impressions sought to he forced upon the freemen of Kentucky, by Mr. Buck ner. As a public or private man, speaking of transactions which concern the reputation and character of others, every.' manly feel ing should remind him, that he ought to be guided by established tacts, not by the hear aitf of a party; and when he thus produces facts, or the least plausible ground upon which to bottom such charges, as those which you have recited, I pledge myself to be at all times ready to meet him at the bar of my country. It may be proper to remark In conclusion, that the finding of the court, proves conclu sively that those men were legally lit service ?or otherwise, that they must have been acquitted. 1 approved of their condemna tion, because they were the promoters and ringleaders of the mutiny and desertion, com mitted at a period, when the safety of our southern frontiers was threatened?at a peri od, which ctlted for the most energetic mea sures, and when every nerve of thr govern ment was stretched In the defence of our liberties. When they violated the law in such atrocious manner, the public good de manded their sacrifice.' Had they have done their duty as faithful soldiers their country would have rewarded them with its protec tion snd gratitude. I am, Sir, your most obedient serrsnt: ANDHKW J \CKHOK. William Owkws.
