Yoi thington, after Ms arrival here, had written to the Spanish Esciivano to deliver over the papers ; and had appointed Edmund Law, E.q. as Alcalde. The delivery as refused for reasons given by the lLscnvano. It was tnen determined o issue a special commission to three Americans, and take all the withheld aichivcs anu documents from the Escrivano, ex-Ciov-crnor, and from every one else in wnose hands they might be tound ficaceabiy i' practicable, but forcibly if necessary We farther understand, that Air. W ui thington, under the 7tn ar icie oi the treaty, considered Col. Coppmgcr, tne Jate governor, and any other Spanish oihcers remaining here since the cession, as private individuals and, therefore, entered into no correspondence particularly

with him on the subject; but, as his Ultimatum, worte piamiy and lorcibly to the Escrivmo, Mr. Entraigo, to give the papers up peaceably The delivery was not offered ; and it was plainly seen that nothing but justifiable coercion would succeed. A commission was then made out by the Governor to John 11. Dell, James G Forbes, and Edmund Lai, Esirs with Messrs. John G. Bird and Anthelm Gay, as clerks. On the 2d inst. by mail, a letter was recieved from Gen. Jackson dated the 1st ult. ordering the taking into possession of the papers in question immediately. Accordingly, after a consultation between the Governor and Col Eustis, within a few hours after its receipt, the aforesaid Commissioners and Clerks, attended simply by Mr. llanham, the llih Sheriff, entered the Escrivano's office, and, in his presence, peaceably took charge of five boxes of papers ; they then went to the ex-Govei nor's vhen, after having been admitted into

the house, they opened his ofiiee,by thel

Sheuffs kicking his foot against the door, and took quiet charge of six more boxes of papers ; which are now in American custody, and undergoing examination, so that all public papeis may be separated from any that may be private, which will instantly be given to the proper owners. The Spanish officers behaved very well on the occasion, and, of course,

protested most loudly against the whole

proceeding; and, are proud to say. that

the commissioners, and the officers with them, executed the affair in the completest and most unexceptionable manner

The Governor has appointed three Secretaries, versed in the English and Spanish languages, o separate and list

the papers taken undrrthc view of the

commissioners; and the ex-Governor and the Escrivano will be invited to attend the whole investigation which, when completed, we hope to be enabled

to lay fully before the public, who will till than suspend their opinion on this delicate and interesting affair.
