C OSAM EMIR BARTLETT— EDITOR.] SEPT. 11,1828. j allN Haupt was yesterday elected Justice h e Peace, in the place of M. J. Kappel, Esq. ipsigned- -- to the two Electoral tickets which ijrC the people of this State, we do not con- I 816 it a matter of any high public concern which I * . P Let either Ticket prevail, and the re- I is ’ perhaps, be the same. We some time jfft jessed a doubt whether the ticket nomin | b ,.‘ tbe Troup party, would, in the event of I * eir Jection, vote for Mr. Calhoun. Since, how ■ I j ie Tariff question has occupied so much of I attention, and excited so much feeling, a n > since Mr. Calhoun has abandoned his former I potions in regard to liberal construction, internal I improvement, and protective duties, we presume I the support of all the Anti-Tariffites, will be the r ev.ardofhis tergiversation ; and, if so, the Elec toral vote of Georgia will be to him. In a public point of view, therefore, it cannot be of much importance to the State of Georgia which ticket prevails. They are both composed of honorable men ; and the success of either cannot dimmish the reputation of the State. It seems to be a case which may be safely trusted to the oper- I aiion of personal feeling and private friendship.— It is a case where each citizen may be allowed to select his friend or his neighbor, in preference to I an individual to whom he may stand differently related. Both tickets may be found in our co lumns, and we shall leave the result to the unbi-> | assed decision of the public. It will be recollected that the great caucus at Athens failed in their attempts to reconcile the claims of the different candidates for Congress, B n<l broke up without fixing upon a Ticket. Since which ar few friends of one or two candi dates, to the number of about a dozen individuals, a, we are assured by a correspondent, men with out name or note, met at the Madison Spring, an I obscure place in the back woods, and settled the \ matter, for the good people of this state, in a very satisfactory manner! “ After freely discussing the subject, (says this authoritive tribunal) and canvassing the claims, Ac. of the several candidates, it was voted that George It. Gilmer, and Richard 11. Wilde, (here follows a list of rive others) bo adopted as the candidates to be supported by this CONVEN TION,” &c. Now can any thing be more shameless and im pudent 1 A dozen individuals, who have not even iie candor to give their ow n names, under take to decide for the people of the state, and f dictate to them, as to who shall be elected mem bers of Congress! Why did not this “ convention ” publish the tumder of which it was composed, and the- names of those who figured as leaders ? By whom was it called? Who was the chaiirnan, vvlio the secrc | tary ? Had these important parsonages no names, with which to grace the record of their proceed ings withaL? Will the friends of the other candidates submi to this trick, of one or two of their rivals, and re tire from the field at the bidding of a few nameless individuals! Wc trust not. The following is an account of the as published in the Athenian, a paper published in Clark county, the residence of Mr. Merriweather, and in the neighborhood of Mr. Gilmer : “ At a meeting hold, at the Madison Spring, on the 2ld of August, of a number of citizens, sum mer residents and visitants, from the counties of [ Richmond. Columbia, Wilkes, Elbert, Oglethorpe, Madison. Franklin. Putnam and Morgan. It was considered, that the number of candi dates so Congress, from whom seven Representa tives are to be chosen at the approaching election, renders doubtful the success of the Democratic Republican party of the state unless the suffrages of the pfrty shall be concentrated and its efforts harmonious. After freely dfscussir.g the subject, and can vassing the claims, and probable chances of suc cess of the several Candidates who are attached t the policy, and sustain the measures of the administration of Governor Troup—it was voted that George R. Gilmer, of Ogletlicrpe, R'-hard R. Wilde, “ - - Richmond, V’ iky Thomson, “ Elbert, Cimies E. Haynes “ - - Hancock, James M. Wayne, “ Chatham, Thomas M. Foster, “ - Greene, James Mcrriwethef, “ Clarke, Be adopted as the candidates to be supported by tue members of the convention at the approach ing election for representatives to Congress, and t. at these gentlemen be record mended to the sup port of our fellow-citizens throughout the state, in the order in which they are named. It was also voted, that the publishers of the several Newspapers in the state attached to the froasurcs of oar state administration, be request ed to give insertion to the proceedings of this meeting."’ The Republican is of opinion that we have tnisconcoived the Resolutions adopted at the “ Con- Tf alien” at Madison Springs. We think not.— hen the proceedings of the 11 Convention” are v -wed in connection with the recommendation of l;ie editors of the Augusta Constitutionalist and ‘ ,e Georgia Journal, that the gentlemen of their shou'd consult together and deform me what ’ ’ fn °f the candidates should be SUFFERED to tcu.rit the suffrages of the people , there can ‘-"vtsiialy be no mistake in calling such consulta hm, held in the spirit of such recommendation, 41 attempt at dictation. A combination to drive ‘ ll t,V|e candidates from the field, except certain -“dividuals is, in our opinion, an attempt to force r people to elect those individuals, whether they e^er them or not. Such combination tends to r e hom the people, the privilege of a free choice, conceive wc are not in error, when we call it aU empt at dictation. Republican conceives we should take up ° ions (that is, the recommendations of the ) C,U! 2) but let the gentlemen composing it lft ‘ iV ’ w we have no objection to examine the _ ‘ os &f the nomination made at Athens ; and il f ” a PP e ar that the meeting was actuated **•> partial and unjust motives, it does seem to us, that the gentlemen themselves, composing that meeting, are obnoxious to censure. It will appear then, from an examination of the nomination itseif, that the meeting at Madison Springs was actuated by very selfish motives ; inasmuch as they selected SIX out of the seven candidates, from their own immediate neighbor hood ! and unjust, because they leave the compa ratively large and important sections of the state, south and west of the Oconee, entirely unrepre sented ! and partial, because they paid little or no regard to the merit and qualifications of the can didates. From an examination it will be found that Messrs. Gilmer, Merriwether, Haynes, Fos ter and Thompson, all reside in adjoining counties ; and that Mr. Wilde also bedongs to the same sec tion of the state; all residing within a circle of some seventy or eighty miles. This betrays a preponderance of local and sectional feeling, which ought not to be countenanced by the other divis ions of the state. It shows a total disregard of the rights and interests of others, for which there is no apology. Even admitting the prudence of confining themselves to the pale of their own party, still they had a Williamson beyond the Oconee, and a Bvailsfordin the south ; candidates who, for talent and integrity, could not suffer on comparison with any they have selected Let us look at their list with a view to the judi cial divisions of the state. To the eastern circuit, w hich comprises an area of 6,473 square miles, and contained in 1825, a representative population of 34,532, they have allotted one representative. To the middle circuit, containing 5,385 square miles, and a representative population of 46,141, they have also allotted one representative. To the northern circuit (that favored section in which tho convention was held) comprising an area of but 2,615 square miles, and a papulation of 66,664, they have allotted THREE representa tives ! In the Ocmulgce circuit, comprising an area of 2,442 square miles, and containing a representa tive population of 75,542, they have only allotted ONE representative! To the western circuit, comprising an area of 4,318 square miles, and a representative popula tion of 51,540, they have also allotted one repre sentative. While the vast southern circuit comprising art area of 9,257 square miles, and a population, in of 20,289, but which, considering the rapid emigration to the fertile lands on the Flint, the Chatahochie, and the Plorida line, is peihaps now nearly or quite double that amount, must be repre- , sented by -Mr. NOBODY! To the Flint circuit, comprising an area of 3,535 square miles, and which in 1825, contained I a represeni alive population of 29,812, but which j has since rapidly increased, has also been allotted j that same respectable and responsible personage— Mr. Nobody. The Chatahochie circuit, of the area or popula- j tion of which we have now before us no data, has \ not been more highly favored. Is there any justice or liberality in this arrange- ! nig at ? If there is, we cannot perceive it. The Western Country. —The valley of the river Miami includes about 3,500,000 acres of land, 1 valued at. upwards of $10,000,000. The advan tageous locality of this valley is only surpassed by the superior fertility of its soil. To the South, at its base, it is washed by the gentle current of the .

Providence, (R. I.) Aug. 20. The bodies of the two lads, whose absence has been for the last four woeks deplored by their mothers, were discovered yesterday by some per sons who were digging sand from the hill near the repo walk, on Washington-street, West Side.— They’ were found buried with their clothes on. The bodies were in a state of rapid decay. The heads fell from them while the discoverers were disinterring them. Their sculls appeared to be fractured, and some of those who examined the bodies were of opinion that they must have been dead some days before they were buried. From the state of the ground v.diere they were found, it is scarcely possible they could have been buried from the earth, and the impression is irresistible that they must have been murdered. Verdict of the Jurj, causes of death unknown. Casualty —A man whose nama we did not learn was killed in Johnston, on Saturday last, while engaged in gettingout stone for building. A frag ment of rock, on which he stood, gave way, and he was precipitated from a height of thirty teet, a part of the rock falling on his head. We were the other day informed by a very in telligent brick merchant, that during the making , season there are manufactured daily, in this city, j 300,000 bricks ; and that not less than 40,000,000 | would be used the present year, in our city and ; liberties. It is understood that one bushel of lime is used to each thousand of bricks, making a con- i sumption of 120,000 bushels It will be perceived that the manufacture of these two articles is some object; to which must he added the lumber, nails, furniture, and paint, and the employment of car penters, masons, painters, and other workmen. Building has become a very important and ex tensive branch of business. In this, the Northern Liberties, Penn township, and Spring Garden are taking the load. The city is, however, doing her part. We are told a very large builder has decli ned gom-J on with to houses, the foundations of which he had laid, rather than pay 50 cents per thousand for bricks, more than usual, and what he believed he ought to pay.— Phil.

Elizabeth John, who arrived at this port on Thursday night f Join Mayao’uez, informs, that the crew of the Colum bian schr. Constantia, while she was lying at St. Thomas, took advantage of the Captain s absence, he being ashore, got under way with the vessel, and had arrived at Mayaguez and delivered her up to the authorities of the place, a short time before the E. 4” J sailed. „ The markets were very dull in Porto Rico, tor articles of American produce, and the produce o t he Island scarce and high.— Baltimore Gommer* dal Chronicle of Aug. 30, THE ARGUS. SAVANNAH, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1828, Mr. DTsradi's JVew Work. —ln the “Commen taries on the Life and Reign of Charles I ,” which Mr. D’lsraeli has just published, the author has given a specimen of anew and AC active mode of writing history, and combined a narrative of pub lic events with private and personal memoirs, in such a manner as at once to illustrate disputed points, and to give them anew interest. No reign is so fertile in curious subjects as that of Charles tho First. His personal character has been the theme of the most conflicting opinions, while his education, which tended so materially to modify i it, has been little examined into. The secret his tory of the Spanish and French match—of the King’s first ministers—the Cadiz expedition—the impeachment of Buckingham—loan of English • ships to serve against the French Protestents—the j King s attempt to raise money without the aid of ! Parliament—the secret history of the Queen’s household—all these points, each of which in turn has been the Shibboleth of historians, are illustra- j ted and explained by a comparison of numerous and rare documents, which Disraeli alone had consulted, and wlf?h were unknown or inaccesai-. hie to other writers, At the peace of Tilsit, Napoleon accompanied i the Emperor of Russia to the left bank of the Ni einen, where the Russian guard was drawn up.— There the Emperors embraced, and Napoleon took from his breast the cross of the Legion of Honor, and attached it to the button hole of the grena dier on the right front rank of the Riistian guard, saying, “You must remember that this is the day on which your master and I became friends.” Memoirs of the Duke of Rovigo. THE BALKAN MOUNTAINS. 1 Over the Balkan mountains there are five practicable passes: one from Sophia to Tartar Bazargic ; two from Ternova, by Keisanlick and Selymna ; and two from Shumla* by Carnabat and Haidos. The three first lead to Adrianople, and the two last to Constantinople. Os these the roads by Ternova are the moat difficult, as they pass over the highest and most inaccessible hills of the the chain ; that by Hiados is the frequent ed, the chasm in the face of the mountain affording a greater facility of ascent than elsewhere. Any of the passes, however, do not appear to be im practicable for TurKish spahis. These are a kind of feudal cavalry, possessing herediterary lands, on the tenure of appearing ra the field when call ed on. If they have no male children, the lands devolve to the commander, who assigns them to others on the same terms, and so the corps is kept up. It consists of sixteen legions, who are per haps the best mountain horsemen in the world, though nothing can seem more unfavorable to their firm seat and rapid evolutions than their whole equipment Their saddles are heavy masses of wood, like pack saddles, peaked before and be hind, and are the more awkward and uneasy in the waj. they use them. Their stirrups are very short, and their stirrup irons very cumbrous, resembling the blade of a fire shovel, the handle of which hey use to goad on the horse, as they have no spurs : tills heavy apparatus is not secured on the horse by regular girths, but tied with thongs of leather—always breaking and out of order. — On this awkward and insecure seat the Turk sits, with his knees approaching to his ; yet I never saw more bold and dexterous horsemen in the most diiiicult and dangerous places. W hen formed into cavalry, they observe little order ; yet they act together with surprising re gularity and effect: but it is in broken ground and mountain passes, they are most serviceable, where the surface seems impracticable for Euro pean horsemen. They drive at full speed through ravines and mountain torrents, and up and down steep acclivities, and suddenly appear on the flanks or in the rear of their enemies, after pass ing rapidly through places where it was supposed impossible that horsemen could move. Some of their troops are called, for their headlong and reckless impetuosity, dellns, or madmen; and the desperate enterprises they undertake justify the naiiig. Such cavalry in the passes of the Balkan, must oppose a formidable resistance to the most effective and best disciplined troops ; and no doubt the Russians, if they ever attempt this barrier will find it so. Anothor obstacle will be presented by the sea son of the year. The only time for operation is the Spring ; the country is then exceedingly beau tiful am! healthful; the rivers are full of sweet water, the grass and fodder abundant, and the air elastic and salubrious ; but as the summer advan ces the rivers dry up, vegetables disappear, and liothing is presented by an arid, burning soil, in tolerable from the glare of the sun by day, and dangerous from the cold and damp dews by night; and the morbid effect of these every army has experienced, campaigning in those countries, at that season, both in ancient and modern times.— To pass the chain in winter, with an army, seems a still more hopeless attempt j the morasses satu rated with rain, incapable of supporting the heavy burdens of wagons or artillery) ravines filled with snow or mountain torrents, and passed over by tottering bridges of wood, so rotten as to hreak with the smallest pressure, the numerous defiles, which a few can defend against a multi tude, affording so many natural fortresses, behind which the Turks fight with such energy and effect, the scattered villages, which can afford neither shelter nor supplies; ail these present obstacles, of which the Russians themselves ap pear very conscious. In their campaign they were in possesion of the whole country, from the Balkan to the Danube, with the exception of Vama, Nyssa, and Shutnla in which the Turks were shut up; and they had neafly 100,000 men in the plain below, completely equipped, and were at the very base of the mountain and the entrance to tho passes : yet they never attempted to ascend, with the exception of a few straggling Cossacks, who made a dash across the ridge, and returned as speedily back again. The Turks seem to have no apprehension of an approach to the capital on this side ; relying on the natural strength of this chain of mountain a, they have not fortified any of the passes, nor do i I recollect a single fortress from Shumia to Con stantinople. Their great approhension is, that the invasion will be made by the sea; and in this persuasion, not only the Dardanelles, but the Bosphorus, resembles one continued fortress irom the sea of Marmura to the Black Sea. In the year 1&21, when a rupture was apprehended with Russia, all the castles were completely repaired, and, additional batteries were erected on every point of land that bore advantageously on the chan nel, so as to present a most formidable obstruc tion to any approach by water, lhese batteries, however, were altogether untenable it attacked on, the land side, the high ground above the shores of the Bosphorus every where commanding them; and if a landing were effected they were in the rear, which it was at that time said was the plan of the Russians, they must be immediately abandoned.—[Dr. Walsh's Travels.] On Wednesday, we gave, from the Boston pa pers, a melancholy account of the death ot one person and the maiming cf another, by the break ing of the driver's seat of one ot the New Ham ! shire stages. The following particulars of the heroic conduct of the female who remained in the stage, are worthy of record : ‘ There was but one passeugcr inside the stage, Miss Abigail R. Brown of Peterborough, who was readino- at the time of the fall of the seat, a id did not perceive the accident, till the stage, coming iu contact with the^branches ol the trees aroused her attention, when she discovered her danger, the horses being in full speed. Altnougn alarmed she did not scream, nor attempt to jump out witn out consideration. Feeling deeply her perilous situation, she considered tho best method tor her fescue, or preparation for tho probable event.— She began with spe.tking gently and soothingly to the horses, and felt encouraged by the appar ent effect in checking their speed. She opened the door of the stage, let down the steps, adjusted i her cioathes, to prevent their being entangled, and : stood on the steps while the horses ran to the dis tance of near a mile over several hills, and by several houses. In the course of the race she discovered a load of hay in the road—and beck oning to the driver with her hand to turn out, he I was enabled to do so, in season, not to come in I contact with the stage ; and he used his exertion to stop the horses in vain, as did others who were met. She continued on the steps of the carriage until nearing a hill of some extent, when she in creased her endeavours to check the horses by her voice, hoping thereby, with the natural effect of rising the eminence, so far to lessen their velocity as to be able to jump off with safety, which she happily effected. On alighting to the ground, she started forward at the risk of her life, still speaking soothingly to the horses, till she was enabled to seize some part of the harness, turn the horses, stop them, and held them in suspen sion till assistance came up to relieve her from her anxious and perilous situation—exhibiting a for titude and presence of mind bordering on heroism —which not one man in a thousand would have manifested on so alarming and trying an occa sion.—N.

By the politeness of Captain Briton of the ship Josephine, arrived from Belfast, we have received Billing’s Liverpool Ad vertiser of the 22d“and the Belfast Northern Whig cf the 24ih July; which contain Loudon dates to the 21st* Great Britain. —The London Globe of the 2Jst, received at Belfast, announces the death of his Grace, the Archbishop ol Canterbury, which took place that morn ing at II o’clock, at the Place at Lambeth His Grace, who was in his sevnty sixth year, had been indisposed for some time past, but had only been confined to the house for the last ten days, immediately after the decease of his Grace, his son, the Speaker of the House of Commons, was seut for, and arrived very shortly. His Grace, besides being Primate of all Eng land, and Metropolitan, was a Lord of trade and plantations, and official Trustee of the British Museum, a Governor of the Chat terhouse, and Visitorof All Souls and Mer ton College, Oxford He was cousin to the Duke of Rutland, and brother to Lord Manners. In consequence of this melan choly event* it is probable that the House of Commons will not meet this evening. Parliament was to be prorogued on the 25th July. The Duke of Clarence, Lord High Ad miral, arrived in London on the 17th, very unexpectedly, from Portsmouth. The Courier says his arrival was so sudden that none of his domestics expected him. Va rious rumors were in circulation as to his visit, but all was conjecture. Among the jumors was the following, that it might re late to the British naval force in the Medi terranean—that it tvas in consequence of the large Russian fleet from Cronstandt for the Mediterranean—and lastly, that it was owing to the sickness of first character in the country.” Russia and Turkey. —“ The Continen tal papers, says the Globe of the 21st, which has reached us this morning bring further accounts of tho progress and suc cess of the Russians. Anapa, the fortress in Asiatic Turkey, which was attacked by the force of Admiral Greig and Prince Menzik off, has surrendered, and Tuleza or Tultschi, a fortress which the Russian army, under the immediate command of the Emperor, left behind it, has fallen into the hands of the besieging corps The sup ples of stores and provisions which have been found in Braitow are represeuted to have been very important. Meantime the Rusian army, under the Emperor, has been reinforced, and its advanced guards have been pushed without opposition to Man gailia and Kouzgoun. These places are about half way betwen Karassa and Bhz ardschik, the first place where there is any appearance that the Turks will make a stand/* There was a report at Paris, on Wed nesday that the Trident had brought in telligence from Corfu, of the Porte having agreed to accept the mediation of Frauce and England. Prance —On Monday se*nnight, the Chamber of Peers terminated the delibera tion on the project of Law respecting the Journals. The Censorship, the monopo ly of Journals, aud a law of tendencies fas to libel,) have all been done away. The French people, instead of quarrelling with each other, are united in rectifyiug the de fects of their Constitution. We have received letters from Oporto, dated on the 6th. They state that good disicpline continued to he observed by the troops. The number left at Oporto was not large—the main part of the army hav* ing marched with Povoas in pursuit of the constitutional troops. These letters speak desponding with respect to trade. It ap pears by Lisbon letters we have just re coived. The first was held on board the Pyramus, at the requisition of Capt. Sar torious. Our consul was present. The merchants stated that, considering the ex tensive nature of their concerns, they could not remove their property, but they hoped they might be permitted to remain. A se cond meeting was convened at the Counsel General s, to consider a memorial to be drawn uu to the commanding officer of our squadron, praying that a sufficient squadron might be left in the Tagus.

Tariff of the Lnited States* —ln tbo House ol Commons, on the is b July, Mr. Huskiiison rose ro move for Copies o the American T riffr of 1824 and ife preset, t year, with many His Mh. jesiy’s Ministers in the Uii*ed States on \l|e subject. It was necessary * before tie close of the session, to take some notice, not of the intention, perhaps, but of ti e tendency of certain Acts which had been lately passed in the United States, deiri imimeutal to their own interests, but cer tainly calculated greatly to injure and im pede the trade and manufactures of Grt at Britain. In 1815 a convention was entei ed into for four years, which was <<t in troduced by him, but which was nearly one of those reciprocal treaties that had been so much abused. The si uple principle was this; That all articles, the growth, pro duce, and manufacture, of either country, should be received in either upon duties as low as those paid upon any the like articles, the growth produce, or manufacture, of any other country, and further, that there should be no discriminating duties in refer ence to the national character of then les pectiveships. In *lB it was renewed. At this period, when we were exploding the doctrine of prohibition, it was adopted by the Americans with reference to the great staple manufactures of England. About the same time the Convention was violated by the United States, imposing an addi tional doty on iron rolled instead of bea ten into plates, which was an increase occasioned merely by the improvement in the mode of manufacture. This c< uutry remonstrated, but without effect; th ugh on the renewal c f the convention the prin cipal was conceded, and it was also agreed that the treaty should be dissolved on ei# ther party gtving 12 months’ notice. Since that period the American Congiess has added other duties, pafticulail* upon wool, hardware and cotton, and those duties were so great as to amount almosr to a prohibi tion; and, as iu the year before the prop osition for an increase wis rejected by a majority of one in the year 1827 it was carried by a great majority. But he understood that those best in* formed upon such subjects in the United States, look upon the increase as highly prejudicial to their interests; certain it was that every country looked to every ques tion with reference to its own particular Tnterests, and on that principle he did not complaiii of the Uui-ed States: but on that principle also wib it thai we ought to look to our own course so as to counteract ihe feeling in others. He was not one of tbosa who advocated a system of prohibitory warfare; but if we did not adopt som<* course of the kind we should| forfeit our claim to impartiality, and justify complaints on the part of other countries who wcie dealing with us iu a fairer and justir man ner. The people of the United States! deceived themselves if hey supposed th t we had not ample means of manifesting our feelings, even under the Convention; but it was. however, open to us to put an end to that Convention by due notice given, and this was, iu his opinion, the more m li ly course Tiie principal exports of A* mertca—tobacce, rite, cotton, and turpen tine; were not manufactured in this coun try for consumption, and with those arti cles it would not be difficult to supply our selves from other sources. He believes that thD tariff owed its existence less to the opinion that it would promote nation al objects, than electioneering purposes.— It was not a matter of surprise that p tn<y should prevail in a country where the su preme exocutive power was an object ai competition, not twice in an age, but once in every four years. He observed ibat those measures were generally brought iu ward at the period of the elections, with referreuce to the excitinent of the people. While the trade of the United Slates with this country amounted to one n. if of ail the exports of their own pioductions, if formed one sixth of the whole trade of this country. He would leave it to the sober and temperate Consideration’ of those who ought to be the rulers of the destinies of that country, to decide wheth er it was a safe game for then to risk one half of their trade in order to impede us in a branch of our commerce, which was only one sixth of our whole foreign trade. So far from relating, he would leave the American Government to find out the fol ly of their proceedings; and he had no doubt they wonld soon repent the day they adoptee this weak and abstird policy. He was of opinion that for every one pound of injury, the Tariff would inflict upon England, the injury to America would be fourfold. Mr. Hume said nothing rankled more iu the breasts of the Americans, than ouj exclusion of their corn. This was the sta ple production of half the country, and it was through the influence of those S'.ate.s which grew corn, that this unwise and im politic Tariff had been passed. Mr. Peel said, it was a mistake to sup pose the Tariff was a retaiiato y i*e;3 ire, for in the very year it was introduced, we had exalted in our regulations respecting noeritan con • He had no objection to the production ot the document, fi m which he gathered sufficient t prove <0 him, that tSie security of Am rica w m.H before long induce that country to recall the proseat step, as it must necessarily lead tr>con siderable suffering there, if continued; and in the meantime he was glad that circumstances preven ted the possibility of our adopting any retaliatory custom,as the only effect likely to be pr duced by such a course would be, its being’ wrong by the Americans, and leading to still further steps. The motion was then agreed to. [No 16.—V0?.. I.
