The great length of the documents submitted to Congress by the President relative to ourneoociations with Spain prevents us from riving them at length: The substance of them however, we will present in a few wol d1-: A demand is made on the part of the U. States, of an indemnity for spoliations committed by the cruizers of his Catholic Majesty during the late war. snd for the injury resulting to tlie U. States, 1 ' -u r . 1 1 by the suppression of the deposite rr , t New-Orlians. This demand is evaded by Mr Onis, under the pretext of not having received from his government full power t 1 adiust and settle the differences tween the two nations. The Spanish Minister com- , . - 1 c plains ot our Government tor ta- . . r . king possesion oi Uestrlonua

as being a part of the territory belonging to ftpain, and for permitting tlie equipment cv organization of troops within the limits of the U. states, destined to aid in a hostile expedition against the posies-ions of liis sovereign. ft is clearly established by our secretary, i'vdt West Florida is a part Louisiana, as ceded by snain to Prance, in 1800 a id subsequently, in 1803, by France to the U States, and that no troops have been recruited within our limits under the connivance of the public authorities for tlie pur poses alluded to. li is worthy of remark" tuat this negociation opened at Washington, and after much unavailing discussion, was transferred, at the suggestion of Mr. Onis, to Madrid. A correspondence was opened by our minister ( Mr. Ervn with the Spa: ash. minister of foreign affairs, which terininated m a transfer of the negociation to y ashington, by tle Spanish govenlment, on the ground of an alledged want of lime to conclude it at Madrid. Te correspondence is renewed between Mr. Monroe and Mr. Onis, and in conclusion it aooears that al-

though Mr. Oe-is has powc from hiis government to treat, v he lias no instructions ; and thus the matter rests. It is clearly manifest, from the evasive course of procedure on the part of the Spanish Government, that the prestations of friendship so ofierftfeit crated ly her minister, ace nffliang more than the effusions of Spar.ish duP""1 Wh.en it is Recollected t at repeated efforts have been ma e r ,,r government, to adt 1 r 1 -m uist tiese diiiei'ences on soird a id equitable srrounds, and that these attempts l ave been invariably frustrated by the diplomatic artifices of his Catholi - Majesty, we can no longer doubt t he unfriendly feelings of his o;overnment towards the U. States. The public patience is annost exliaosted. It has ever been the policy of our government, to obtain justice if possible, without a resort to arms, and we really regret that this laudable, pacific disposition dees not, in thi instance, produce correspondent feelings We t' i- : it is now very fairly to he concluded, that our object is not to he attained by amicable negotiation : and we trust t at our government w ill not suffer itself to be longer deluded bv insincere profe sions of justice and liberality, dictated by the artful policy of a nation, detei mined to defeat every attempt at friendly adjustment.
