18115772London: Tuesday January 15 1811. Fascinating issue of the Courier. Includes pre-graphic advertising for soap remedies books etc. and full-text accounts of speeches in Parliament. Of interest is an exchange of correspondence on the short-lived Republic of West Florida an area made up of the eastern parishes of modern Louisiana including Baton Rouge that declared independence in 1810. In 1803 the US and Spain disputed the territory as a population of English-speaking Americans grew in the area. The Americans attacked the Spanish fort at Baton Rouge on the date of the letter reproduced in this paper 23 September 1810 and declared an independent state. The letter is addressed to Governor of the Mississippi Territory effectively requesting the recognition of the United States. A second letter dated November 15 1810 effectively rejects the state's declaration of independence on the grounds that the territory was part of the Louisiana Purchase and is therefore integral to the United States. #4891.
