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. Spanish |
fubjects’ will be respected; Spanish laws
