CAPEL To me EDITOR OF TILL STATESMAN. wirer of Srit,--The question wheth er th e E x -E m FRANC( ' under eli the circumstances attending his surrender, ought to he considered as a prisoner of war, is certainly a fair subject for digression, and if discus , ed with temper and decency, it may produce a beneficial result. The same may be said of the opi nion recently given by your truly valuable Corre spondent, Mr. LAPEL Lover, that our Government could not legally and constitutionally send the cap tive Emperor beyond seas, as if tried and convicted of a transportable offence. An opinion on a subject of so interesting a nature, pronnunced by a man highly distinguished for his extensive knowledge of OP Laws and Constitution of this country, as Hell as of the genoral Law of Nations, surely ought not to be too hastily or ton petulantly condemned by those, who were induced to espouse the otl:er side of the question. A writer in the Morning Chronic*, of Thursday last, under the signature of Mau Awn BULIIIER, has, it seems, ventured to take op the gauntlet thrown nut by so able a champion 14 our liberties as Mr. Lover ; and, after unfeeling!) using expressions of contempt towards the fallen Monarch (which I --emese-- suspect she has picked up from the Hurts News.
