Our correspondent (says the Norfolk Herald) writes from Gibraltar, under date of September 12, that the news of the decision of our government, with respect to Pensacola, had excited the most extravagant symptoms of joy among the Spaniards. The merchants at Cadiz, on the receipt of the news, ran about the streets embracing and felicitating one another on the event, and joining in mutual congratulations on the pacific temper displayed by the American government. 'Be assured,' says our correspondent, 'that unadvised and unassisted, Ferdinand will be the last enemy that will present the brazen front of "grim visaged war" to the United States.'
