We have seen letters from Madrid, which state, that our minister, Mr. Forsyth, in his communications with that court, on the subject of the Florida Treaty, had assumed an attitude of the most vigorous character—It is probable that his dispatches will not be published until the meeting of Congress. In the mean time, the President has full power to make every arrangement to meet any future contingency, which may be expected to grow out of the rejection of the Treaty, by the Spanish government.
