Domestic Summary.

GENERAL ORDERS.

The late conduct of the Spanish government, added to the hostile appearance and menacing attitude of their armed forces already encamped within the limits of our government, make it necessary that the militia under my command, should be in complete order and at a moment's warning ready to march.

This armed force under the sanction of their government, have imprisoned and transported five of the good citizens of the United States, to the dominion of Spain.

They have cut down and carried off the flag of the U. States, which was erected in the Caddo Nation of Indians and within the limits of the U. S.—They have compelled by force, men in the employ of the government, when exploring the Red River, to desist, and come home, and they have taken an unjustifiable and insulting position east of the river Sabine and within the territory of New-Orleans!!

—Acts thus daring as well as degrading to our national character and constituted rights, demand prompt satisfaction and cannot fail to excite that resentment so becoming, so natural on the occasion.

In the first instance, gentlemen, let it be remembered that our good materials—our best of men, must be properly disciplined, and in this way the preparation cannot be too great to meet the wishes of the general and the anxieties of our country.

Let the laudable ambition of our country's welfare be manifested by the most strenuous exertions in defending our liberties, it is hoped that one voice will call for union and discipline.

You are therefore ordered to lay, ordered on the most and be in readiness to march with your quota required at shortest notice.

Companies well equipped—If the quota raised by voluntary enlistments fall short, drafts must be made.

Shortest notice.

Companies well equipped—If the quota raised by voluntary enlistments fall short, drafts must be made.

It will answer government a better purpose than by pressing them from their families by draft; but if it be discovered that this cannot be done, you will direct that the effective men be classed and that the law be particularly attended to, and when the government & constituted authorities of our country require it, they must be in readiness to march.

Two regiments, are expected, from my division (in the event of a call) will be required and no doubt, if more are in readiness to march, a tender of their services will be accepted.

You will, gentlemen, take the most speedy method of obtaining correct information, of the number that can be raised by voluntary enlistment within your respective brigades, through your colonels or in such other manner as may to you be most regular and proper.

After this information shall have been acquired, forward the same to the general by mail.
