Gazette Of The United States, & Philadelphia Daily Advertiser

The following is the conclusion of a letter to the Secretary of State from the Spanish Minister—published this morning in a Pamphlet from the Office of the Aurora.

The whole letter shall appear to-morrow.

"After having followed you step by step through the various points of your report to the President, I shall make a short compendium of such as arise from this letter; from which it results.

I. That on the 27th of February, I gave you sufficient particulars respecting the intended expedition, to have attracted the attention of this government.

2. That although to this verbal communication, I added another in writing on the 2d of March, the President had not the least knowledge of it on the 9th of the same month, and that without doubt you must have had very powerful motives to prevent you from communicating it to him.

3. That it does not appear by the documents presented by the Secretary of War, that Government had given orders to the military commanders to cause the territory and neutrality of the United States to be respected.

4. That you made to the English Minister a communication, which in my opinion you ought not, and that even if you thought it necessary, you delayed doing it for two months, that is, from the 27th of February to the 28th of April, although it respected a most urgent and important object.

5. That the Baron de Carondelet could very well have received my letters, without its necessarily following that his had come to hand.

6. That the Baron did not represent Mr. Ellicott's not writing to him officially as a complaint, but as an observation, and that in fact he never has done it in those terms.

7. That the proofs you allege to exculpate Mr. Ellicott, respecting his intentions of taking the Fort of Natchez by surprise, are purely negative.

8. That it is not merely pretences, but very powerful reasons, which have impeded the evacuation of the Posts, and the running of the Boundary Line.

9. That the insinuations with which you are willing to persuade the American People that our arming is directed against them, are unjust as well as unfounded, as by Mr. Blount's letter it is clearly demonstrated to be a precaution for the mere purpose of defence.

10. That you evidently contradict yourself, when on one hand you are pleased to attribute to us the movements of the Indians, and in the very next paragraph you shew it might proceed from American citizens, as it actually does according to Mr. Blount's letter; and that he acted with the knowledge and intelligence of the very same British Minister, in whose private notes, without signature, and perhaps not of his hand writing, you place such implicit confidence.

to me that the American government knew of nothing which indicated any foundation for my suspicions, Mr. Blount's letter clearly proves that I was perfectly in the right. I have thus fulfilled a very disagreeable duty. Always desirous to contribute to strengthen the bands of friendship which unite Spain and America, and to which their situation, their wants and resources, invite them, I have seen with the most profound grief, that the language and tenor of your communication to the President, is not, in my opinion, calculated to promote so desirable an object to us all. For my part, although I shall leave nothing undone, to cement the union and harmony with a nation which I respect; neither shall I ever suffer the interests of the king, my master, in any case whatever to be sacrificed to an unjust partiality."
