The following extract of a letter (mm a friend in Florida to the editors, shews that the Vmerican authorities received possession of St. Augustine on the 10th instant, in the most amicable manner, and that fortress in nw garrisoned by t'e troops of the United States. It appears, however, that the necessary preparations for embarkation of the Spanish troops from W.'.sacola, were not expected to he made before the 20th of this month So that the article purporting to be post-dated proclamation of general Jackson, the publication of which wc have alivady noticed, has been, we are persuaded without intention, deceptive and delusive, and must have a niischevious elfect. It is quite probable that the proclamation has not yet been put forth. TO TirE EDITORS.

Saint Augustine, July 11, 1S21 Wednesday JIg rn ing

The Ions looked fa.-exchange of flags

has at length been made here. I will redeem my promise by giving you a hasty sketch of the ceremony, &c. The preparations on the part of the Spanish authorities having heen matured, it was determined that a transfer of this province shauM be made on Tuesday thf 10th inst. It was accordingly annmuced to the inhabitants in a proclamation .ssued hv the governor. The transport shijr was anchored at sea three miles from th bar In order to avoid any difiirultv that might possibly ensue from bringing the American and Spanish troops in contact, it was previously

arranged that, the movement of the one from the s'dp. and that of the other from -the harbor, should be simultaneous The Spanish troops with the exception of a detachment of 40 men, who remained in charge of toe Fort, were embarked on board small transports, on the 9th, and the same evening dropped down to the bar. On the morning of the 10th at sunrise, the Spanish flag was hoisted at Fort St. Mark (the name of the fortress at this place) uuder a royal salute of 21 guns. During the forenoon, the merican troops under the immediate order of Capt. Hell, were transferred fro -si the ship to the United States' schooner Tartar, and about 3 o'clock crossed the bar and proceeded t town, passing the Spaniards on the wav out Our tioops were landed on a green adjacent to the town. On our approaching the shor e our ensign was hoisted in the Fort under oiiarge of an American officer, on the same standard with the Spanish color, and a salute of twenty one guns fired ; after a moment's preparation, the American troops were marched to the Fort and formed in a line on the glacis, at the entrance of the gateway. In the mean time, the governor assembled the subordinate authorities at the government house, and in the presence of an assemblage of spectators, made a formal surrender of the sovereignty of the province to the American commissioner ; a royal salute was then fired by the Spanish detachment in the Fort, and the Spanish flag with

drawn at the last gun, after which he detach -nent matched out, passing in front of tne American ttoops ami interchanging ti e usual salutes. The Fort was then occupied bv our troops, and the national salute fired in honor of our newly acquired sovereignty. At 6 o'clock the Spanish detachment had been e nb.irk.-d, and we f und ourselves in quiet possession, without the occurrence id any incident to disturb the most perfect good will. Much respect is due to the Spanish authorities, for the spirit of harmony and conciliation which they have exhibited on the occasion. The fleet, consisting of one ship, six schooners, and three sloops, will rendezvous otl the bar to-day, and, after distributing provisions and water, and arranging the necessary siguali, will sail for the Havanna, under convoy of the United States' schooner Porpoise. They will not probably be able to depirt before the 13th inst. r :o: 2 : 0: ENGLAND The coronation of George the 4th, is officially fixed for tiie lOih of July. From the arrangements made, the ceremony will be as splendid a it is useless. The best effect of such ceremo nies is, that they take mnch money out of the pockets of the nobles, and distri bute them among many thousand artisans, of both sexes, which otherwise would remain locked up in their collars. As soon as the Coronation is over, the King sets out on his visit Irelaud, attended by his whole court. He travels through the heart of England and Wales, and embarks at Holyhead; and will bz m?t by the Lord Lieutenant, and the choice spirits of Ireland, half sea over. The Irish have a double reason for joy on the occasion : It will give them an opportunity of seeing their Sovereign's person ; and better -.till, cf beholding his likeness on numerous Sovereigns, which will be expended during the visit JJoston CentiaeL

IMPHRIUM IN IMPEUIO, Or an Independent Savage Slats with' in an Independent civilized date. At a late court, held befote Mr. Justice Vutes, at lluffalo, N. Y Soonongize, commonly called Tommy Jemmy the Seneca Chief, was tried for trie murder of a squaw, who was accused of Witchcraft, By his counsel, he put in a plea to the jurisdiction of the court, in substance, as follows : " I hat long before the settlement of the late colony of N'ew-York, and long before the state of New-York, became a sovereign and independent state, the Seneca nation of Indians was a free and independent nation, possessing and exercising the rights and powers of sovereignty, among which they had hitherto always possessed and exercised, and still possess and lawfully exercise, the exclusive right to try and punish members of their own nation for offences committed against other members of the nation within their territory, and particularly for the crime of murder as aforesaid committed ; which offences were exclusively cognizable by the chiefs, sachems and principal warriors ot the nation, from time to time assembled The plea then set forth that the prisoner and the deceased were and always had been members of tne nation, and that the offence stated in the indictment was committed within t!ie territory belon'ui" to the Senecas, and concluded ia the t

sua" form, with a 'prayer tthether tta curt of Over and T"n. i ': oojld or would tak any furl i-'r cognisance of the matter.' Tne District Attorney denied the facts in his plea and tendered at itsue to the country, in which tae pri .oner joined, and a jury was sworn to try the same. Several witnesses, among vmii v4 the celebrated lie I Jacket gave testi niony to support the prisoner plea. The jury, by th-ir verdict, returned t;.at the allezations contained in the prisoner's plea are true. A motion was made to arrest judgment, and the whole proceeding will be brought before the Supreme Court next month at Vlbany, for its decision.

It the price of silver in Kentucky proved the depreciation of our bank piper, the same rule would prove that silver had depreciated in Philadelphia; for there the merchant indebted in London must pay one hundred and ten dollars in silver for oue hundred in paper on London. In Lexington a merchant in want of money in Philadelphia has to pay one hundred and forty dollars in Kentucky paper for silver. This rise only proves that Kentucky no'es are plenty and silver scarce. It also proves that we receive from PniU adelphia articles to a greater amo.nt than we send to them; and therefore we have to purchase silver and gold. Will not this be a lesson worth all th a,.
