Jay evening tiro 30th ult. lie has fully descri bed lo me an account of (be outrage Upon ihe I Caroline, i give it lo you as i received it, a-su you that you may place full confidence in , n [Thu narrator’s veracity. „ ; On Friday, the 2’Jtli of December, an attack r j was expected upon Navy Island, from the Bnt -1(i ish shore. Many of our citizens had cougrega -1 ted at Sehlosser, about 20 m les north from Buf rc i lain, as affording an excellent view of Hie scene. Foe u-saiill did not take place, and the company i( j remained at Sehiosser- Inconsequence of want r ! of accommo ation in the one hotel of the place, “ I about 32 person^look their lodging* 'upon the steamboat Caroline. The owner of ibis boat had sent her to Schlos ser to ply as a ferry boat, between it and Navy Island. They made no charge lor transporting vohm'eers, but exacted heavy loll* of all other*, curiosity or business called to make the * trip across. The Caroline was a poor alfa.r, small and of little value. Col. McNabb, hearing of this, despatched .00 men to the landing place of .Vavjt Island with orders to secure the boat, and pul it hors du com ; bat. Not finding the object of their search, they I extended their inquiries to Sublessor, in violation of the laws of neutrality. About 3 o’clock, A. M., on Saturday, the 30th ult. this parly of troops made their descent upon the Caroline. They commenced an indiscrimi nate slaughter of the persons on board, and suc ceeded in killing 12. The rest fortunately escaped. One of the United States runners was shot through! the head, .on the wharf, in the act of escaping. Three gentlemen ol high respectabili ty were slightly wounded. ’The boat was then cut from her moorings, and hauled of! into the stream, where, taking thecunenl she was preci pitated over the falls, with nearly all the dead bo dies on board. You will remembet that Schlosser is the lowest landing point on the American side, above the falls. During the whale of Saturday the utmost ex citement prevailed in Buffalo. Knots of men were to ho seen in every direction talking over the ma'ter and swearing revenge. The military were called out for tho purpose of preventing the i uproar from breaking out into retaliatory mea • sure*. Before night set in, the general feeling ! had subsided to a determination not to violate the treaty of peace on our part. « vrrn - -, ■»-*- j- % - - ;r». cosiifiE kT; iAla. LIVERPOOL MARKET NOV If).
