This took pbu e just before sun-set, and by dark com Perry had arrived almost within gun-shot of the enemy's sch.: one hour more day-ljght, and she would have been captured.

But it is positively asserted, that besides 9 boxes of powder and ball, which the Spanish government acknowledges to have given to them, they have received at Pensacola, arms of every description. There is a British vessel at Pensacola of 19 guns, and little doubt is here entertained of the triple combination of savage, Knglish and Spanish enmity.

I have therefore called on the governor of Kentuck) for 2000 effectives with these, there tt ill still be a defect of perhaps 1200 troops Your excellency has stated, the men who have turned out on this occasion have done it with the expectation that they would be effectually employed, and that should they be sent home, there is no prospect of getting them to turn out, should it be hereafter re- accompany the general down now a litary post, Camp Celestine, for the of 10 or 15 mutineers, and of major Henry of volunteers It is 36 leagues distant from New-Orleans, on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, and about 12 leagues from Cat Island, the indep ndent establishment of practical smugglers, to repel and control whose atrocity this post was established.
