→Jackson jails Callava
Meanwhile, Jackson sent individuals to Callava's home to seize the documents in question. Upon receipt of the documents, Jackson issued an order for the release of Callava, Sousa, and others.
===After the affair===
Several days after his release, Callava left Pensacola for Washington to protest against his treatment by Jackson. Several Spanish officers stayed behind in Pensacola and published their account of the affair, after which publication Jackson promptly expelled them from Florida. Having been given four days to leave or be arrested, the Spanish officers sailed on fourth day.<ref>Parton, [http://books.google.com/books?id=bGYFAAAAQAAJ&printsec=toc#PPA637,M1 p. 637-638].</ref>
