The following is given,by a writer in the Enquirer under the signature of D tuns, as the confiden tial Missagt cf the President communicated during the last session cf Corgress." .- " On the sixth of December, the - following qbnfidcntial message was received from the ' President. " .. . , . '. . . ' ' The depredations which had been com mitted on the commerce of the United States during a preceding war, by persons under the authority of Spain are sufficiently known to all. These made it a duty to require from that government indemnification for our in ju red citizens. A convention was accordingly entered into between the minister of the Uni ted States at Madrid,"and the minister of that government for foreign affairs' by which it was agreed that spoliations committed by Spa lush subjects, and carried into ports of Spain, should be paid for by that nation, and that those committed by French subjects, and car ried into Spanish ports, should remain for fur- -ther discussion. Before this convention was returned to Spain, with our ratification, the trap.sferof Louisiana by France to the United States took place i An. event as unexpected " as disagreeable to Spain. From that moment he seemed to change her conductand dispo ition towards us. It was first manifested by her protest against the right of France to ali enate Louisiana to us, which however was oon retracted, and the right confirmed. Then high offence was manifested at the act of Congress establishing a collection district on the Moaiir, although by an authentic de claration immediately -made, it was express ly confined to our acknowledged limits ; and she now refused to ratify The convention sign ed by her own minister under.thc eye of his af.vcrtin, unless we would consent to altera tions of its terms, which would have affected our claims against her spoliations by French subjects carried in'o Spanish ports. M To obtain justice, as well as to restore friendship, I thought a special mission advi lable, and accordingly appointed Jamel Motw roe minUter extraordinary and" plenipotentia ry to repair to Madrid, and,' in conjunction with our miniiteii.il resident there, to endea vour to procure a ratification of the former convention, and U come to an understanding with Spain, as to boundaries of Louisiana. It appeared at once her policy was to reserve . herself for events, and, in the mean time to keep our difurences in an undotvtmiued ' ?ate. This will be evident from the papers now communicated to you. After nearh'iivt months of fruitless endeavour tobrinj theta 10 Cyme tieu'iiie and satisfactory reul', our minWtfts ended !) er.rinec, without ha- , vtug Seen able to obtain indemnity for tool! ationsof any description, or any satisfaction mine oonnaants or Lowsiana, otlier than a declaration that tie had co riehts eastward . t 1 m . of the IbffsiKr, and thatuur line to the west vm one which tsould have left us but a string , of land on that bank of the rir:r MUsissmr-i. Oir injured citizens was thus left without a. rY prospect of retribution fiomthe wronirdo tcr, and at to the boundary, each party was to tskeijs 6wji ccunf. That .which they have chosen to pursue will appear font the dom merits nosr communicated. 'The) authorise IM ivcrcr.ee that it is their intention to ad vance on our possenions, un'.il they shall be, reprtssed hy an opposing force. Consider-' inj that Congress idyne is constitutionally in vetted witti ihi power of changin; our condi tio firm peace to war, I have thought it my duty to a wairthdr' authority f uiu force In any decree which could be avoided. I kavvVarVly inimicted the officers stationed h the nc',-,Wwurho.d of the aggressions, lo prntrctour citisciis from violence, palrole w'.thinlhe lofdcr actually delivered to us, ami n.t to no out cf them, but v.hcti ncccsu ry o rtpel an inroad, or toreicue a r.tlitn or his propfrt) i and the Spanl.h rerr.ainii.f. at Ne Xiilcnu art required lo dtpait with, it farther dclif.

Whatever direction she might mean to give to these differences, it does not appear that , shs has contemplated their proceeding to ac tual rupture, or that at the date of our last advice3 from Paris, her government had any suspicion of the hostile attitude Spain had rt-talretTirererOti the contrary we have rea son lb believe that she (France) was disposed to effect a settlement on a plan analogous to what our ministers:: had proposed! and so' comprehensive as to remove as Tar as possible the grounds of future collision a.nd controver sy on the Eastern as well as Western aide of the Mississippi. "The present crisis in Europe is favorable for pressing such a settlement and not a mo ment should be lost in availing ourselves of it. .Should it pass unimproved our situation ' would become much more difficult. Formal war is not necessary, it is not probable that it will follow; but the protection of our citizens, the spirit and honor of our country require that force should be interposed'in a certain degree. It will probably contribute' to ad vance the object of peace. " But the course to be pursued will require tire- command of means which it belongs to Congress exclusively to yield or deny. . To them I communicate every fact material for their information, and the documents neces sary to enable them lo judge for themselves. To their wisdom then I look for the course I a'm to pursue, and will pursue, and will pur sure with sincere zeal that which they shall approve''' . Wc were mifinformed in dating yefler-. day (fay? the Philadelphia Gazette of the 23d uli.)' that the whole of the crews of the two fchrs. belonging to Miranda had been put to death by the bp-anilh government ot Caraccas Mheir fate, howeVrr, is equally drploriblc. .The following whom we pre- fumc held .CommUfions under Miranda, . we're put tu death, and their heads exhibi ted, a? ftitrd yetterday, a lew days ,pre vious to the failing of the Erdymion ; the remaining 48 were feutencedto ten years impnfonment in tl'.e mirci.
