The Spanish commandant at Pensacola has refused to suffer OUi transports frith provisions for the United States troops stationed upon the Cunawa and
Escambia to pass up k a, imtnu paying an enormous duty and has actually seized the rations which were de- j signed for their support. Gen. Gaines
told me he snoui J consider mis as a ui, red Infringement of our treaty and an aet-of hostility, and had N ported it accordingly to our government I have but Hitle doubt the general will force the pass, unless he receives orders to the contrary." ChaHfion, May 31 . Captain Crocker, from the IFwanna, informs us, that, just b fore he sailed, the Governor published an order, that cv. rv ne-ro should after d Tk c.irry a light and the guard war ordered to search even- person without distinction, for knives and dUmT dwd)y aecrewd
weapons but persons might carry 1 to view, bv being
hung at the side. This was in consequence of the numerous assassinations that occurred almost every night ; in one night, it was said, that nine persons were killed in this way. The yellow fe. ver still raged with considerable vio lence, carrying off a great many foreign, ers.

M. Santini, who lately came here from St Helena, (via England,) is supposed to have it in charge to visit all the chicts adherents of Bonaparte on the continent. All his steps in this city have been narrowly watched. He went from this city, first to Liege, to proceed thence to Munich and Parma. One of the French exiles under sentence par contumace, has lately gone to Parmo, the residence of Napoleon's wife.
