The foregoing Expose developes facts vesy
much desired by the American public !; and
put an end TO the numerous specuIations, as
sertions and interosatons, daily issued on
the subject.


We have II now, on semi official authority,
that the Spanish garrisons of 81, Marks, Pen
sacoLG, &c. have been taken possession OF by
the army O.! the United States !; but, the cap
tuEe Of them having been contrary to the let
ter OF tbs instructions TO the commanding Gen
eral (though made in the spirit of those in
sractions) their retention as Americ an
posts not being necessary (in consequence of
ulierior measures promised by Spain) 10 the
protection Of the American frontier against
the inroads of The Indian tribes and moreov-
es, being repugna.t 10 the spirit Of modera-
hon which toe United States have manifested
ip the controversy with Spain Therefore,
HE PRrspgEr has ordered their immediate
restoration TO that government; with requi-
sltion. tba, Spain shall keep up force there
IN, capable 0: restraining the Indians from ma
king attacks on citizens of the United States.


The above measure has unquestionably
been the result of the deliberation Of the late
Cabinet Council in Washington. The mo-
tives and policy Of il are exposed in it at
much length. II is added, on the credit of
the report only, that the Spanish Minister had
formally demanded of our government the
restoration made and it is even added, that
the French, British and Dutch Ministers have
also exerted their influence to affect the meas.
ure. Whether this demand and intercession
lit made or presented-or the expressions
OF the public opinion in many quarters, have
had their influence in the Cabinet, 10 produce
the result ; or whetberit il is the natural cense-
quence OF the general policy Of the admins
tration, as il regards foreign nations and was
prou'dsd for in the capitulaton of III Sc pla.
ces; those who have considered ihe subject
most minutely, and have observed the march
OF the present Cabinet most strictly, will be
able TO form the best opinion.
