Franklin Gaz. —— Head-Quarters, division of the south, Pensacola, May 29, 1818. Major Gen. Andrew Jackson has found it necessary to take possession of Pensaco- la. He has not been prompted to this mea- surc from a wish to extend the territorial limits of the United States, or from ang unfriendly feeling on the part of the Ame- rican republic to the Spanish government. The Seminole Indiaus, inhabiting the ter- ritories of Spain, have for more than two years past, visited our frontier settlers with all the horrors of savage massacre ; help- less women have been but¢héred, and the ciadles stained with the blood of innocence. These attrocities, it was expected, would have early attracted the attention of the Spanish government, and faithful to exist- ing treaties, speedy measures adopted for their suppression, The obligation to restrain them was ac« knowledged ; but weakness was alleged with a concession, that so far fr om being able to control, the Spanish authorities were often compelled, from policy or ne- cessity, to issue munitions of war to these savages, thus enabling, if not exciting . them to raise the tomahawk against Us. .—— \ The immutable laws ot self-defence, there- fore, compelled the American government 1b take possession of such parts of the Flo- ndas in which the Spanish authority could not be maintained. Pensacola was found! in this situation, and will be held until Spain can furnish military strength suffici- ent to enforce existing treaties.
