Unencumbered during the last ten years by of ficial responsibility, bound by no oath, to main tain every abuse, what have the Tories in otSpo sition done for the nation ? What measures have ,they proposed which their adversaries plume themselves on having adopted. What are the merits on which they go to'the Country ? What are the claims of the Tories on the gratitude and support of the intelligent constituency of the empire ? We will . do them the justice to say that they did propose one measure which their adversaries adopted with advantage. Sir Robert Peel's sug gestion as to the Jamaica Bill has worked well. Besides this the Tories have in a great many in stances forced their measures, fiv the aid of a Tory House of Lords, on the Ministers, who have adopted them as compromises, and accepted them as the nearest approach the Tories would allow to general utility. But those measures the Whig journals will always decry, and will never speak of them as the Tory journals speak of the measures which the Tories took from the Whigs as constituting the titles of the Whigs to public approbation. The conduct of the Tories, as au opposition, gives -them no claims on the support of the electoral body. There is not a single abuse of which they have not made themselves the champions. Not one bad law has been passed by the Whigs, such as the Police Act,—not a single good measure has been resisted by them, such as the ballot, or the extension of the suffrage, but they have been supported by the Tories. Every extravagance of which the Ministers were guilty, save one—the proposal to give 50,000/. to Prince ALBERT—that foolish act of a fond old man—has found, &your with the Tories. They have called out for enlarged establish ments, and have increased the necessity for them, by depreciating the maritime power of Great Britain in the eyes of Europe. Not one improvement of the least magnitude, —not one economy of the least value, has been suggested or carried into effect by them; and the Tories in opposition have only been distinguished from the Tories in office by wanting the power to do great mischief. At length a great crisis has arrived in pub lic affairs. Great distress overwhelms the peo.: ple, and the revenue is unequal to the expendi ture. The "condition of Eughnd" questian threes itself' like a moving glacier on the attention of un willing statesmen. Poverty and discontent go band in hand; and an impoverished people, with Chartism, have taken the place of prosperity and love for the Constitution. What remedies do the Tories suggest for this alarming state of things? How do they propose to restore physi cal prosperity, and bring about improved opinions ? On what grounds do they ask the confidence of the country ? Mr. GOULBURN said, let things alone. Sir ROBERT PEEL made light of the distress, and told the House of Commons to look to the revival of confidence in the Banks of the United States, to put an end to distress and Chartism in England. The main principle of Conservatism is to maintain the system which has brought about these ca- Lunities. The Tories will alter nothing, they will amend nothing. They will vigorously ad minister the law; but no improvement in the the Executive Government, suppose that were an improvement, can amend the condition of the people. It is the systeni which is faulty, and that the Tories defend. They are satisfied, though the people are in distress and are filled with discontent, and they will, if they have the power, by some increased taxation, endeavour to supply the wants of the State. They look only to the few, and for their bene fit they tivill maintain and sharpen every restric tion. They propose, if the Government be placed in their hands, to make it more coercive and more expensive. The champion of the Church hopes, when the Tories are in office, to bring forward with success its claims to addi tional endowments. In fact, measures like that proposed by Sir R. INGLIS are the only novel ties the Tories offer; and their only remedy for distress and discontent is to increase the burdens of the people. On the grounds that they have done nothing for the nation during their ten years' opposition, that they propose to maintain the present system in all its vigour, augmenting restrictions and burdens, they ask the support of the constituencies. They have another merit. The Whigs have proposed measures which they suppose will give ease to the people, will at once replenish the Exchequer, and extend trade. The additional merit of the Tories is, that they have endeavoured to stifle those measures in their birth. They will do nothing, they will propose nothing them. selves, but they thwart and obstruct others. Such are the Tories. When in power they in flicted distress by severe taxation, and sabred those who complained. In opposition they did nothing to remedy the evils of their administra tion; and now, when the system has become no longer bearable, they use all their power to pre vent its being amended. If the constituencies confide in such imbecile or wicked politicians, they well deserve that misery, anarchy, and slavery which will await them. The hour "big with the fate" of monopoly, in the borough of Marylebone approaches. This evening we shall know the extent to which the Liberal electors of that Borough appreciate the honour of having as a candidate for their re presentation in Parliament, a man whose bril liant exploits, in connexion with his right Radical principles, have obtained for him a distinguished reputation extending over the habitable globe. Marylebone has reason to be proud of being able to command the services of such a man as Commodore Sir CHARLES NAPIER. The sailor hero is not a mere man of the sword, who has only honourable scars obtained in fighting for liberty to exhibit to the people as a passport to their suffrages.

LONDON: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16. 1841. The Lords indulged last evening in a long anti some . what crirninatory and recriminatory conversation about the Scotch Church, the condition of which seems to plague and vex their Lordships quite as much as it agues and vexes the people of Scotland. There is no cure for the opposition of priestly power to the law. All other men can be held in subjection, or be constrained to obedience ; the priests claim a co-ordinate power with the Legislature, and will only obey when obedience suits their interests, or squares with their principles. The conver sation, though long, led to nothing. The principal speakers were Lords MELBOURNE, BROUGHAM, and BEL HAVEN, the Earl of ABERDEEN, the Duke of ARGYL L, and the Marquis of BREADALBANE. The LORD CHANCELLOR, moved the second reading of the Charitable Trusts Bill, and explained that the object of it was to secure to the poor the benefit of these trusts. Lord LYNDHURST opposed the motion, because the municipal bodies, in whose hands many of these trusts are placed, are Dissenter;, and the trusts were left to members of the Church of England. He moved that the Bill ie read a second time that day three months. Lord BROUGHAM supported the second reading, and expressed his - surprise that Lord LYNDHURST should oppose midi a Bill, so necessary' to establish- a right to this property, on such a ground. • Lord INnAaNcurFE supported the view of Lord LxNununsT ; the Earl of RADNOR expressed his asto nishment at. Lord LYNDHURST'S conduct. Their Lordships divided, and the Bill was put off by 52 to 36. At Half-past Eight their Lordships adjourned till Thursday. In the Commons the St. John's Hospital Winchester Bill was reported, after :some opposition on the part of Mr. LEADER and a division, in which he was supported by 23 and opposed by 80 Members. The only business which occupied the House, besides forwarding several Bills, was Mr. SCROLEPTELD .

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT made a rambling attack on the Government, insisted that the agricultural interest was the great source of Britain's wealth and greatness, and that all the distress of the country arose from mal-admi nistration of the Government. At the close, Commodore NAPIER, with that readiness and good humour by which he is dis tinguished as much as by his gallantry, addressed a few words to the meeting, and encouraged the citizens to do, as he has ever done, their duty to the cotritry-. We are great admirers of his gal lantry, but the gallantry of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in throwing himself on the City of London, is a feat of unexampled daring in a Minister of the Crown, and will give courage to his party. Other towns will follow the example of London, and other Ministers will find popular favour. The meeting was a noble pulsation of the heart, which will be felt in every extremity, of the empire. Mr. LABOCCHERE took a brief notice of the worn-gut patriots querulous complaint, and advised his .I.lbn. Friend to withdraw his motion, as, if pressed to a con clusion, it could lead to no result. Before Mr. BAINEs could conclude his speech, Sir STRATFORD CANNING moved that the House be counted, and it was counted out, so at once disposing of the de bate and the motion. , . ift, . . . _ ~. t ,a- ( 7? 4 er , ' '',..".. %., ...., ',::;• ' ','' 4.', •-, ' Nt' , A ri l l 'k - ';; --- - ' ' ` Jor, 44 e.

Vtit Ski THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, in their aggregate numbers and the popularity of the Commodore, interfere with their being in readiness to be first at the ballot-box. The elec tion, virtually, takes place this day. • The- re tirement of one of the candidates is tantamount to the return of the other to the House of Commons. The friends of NAPIRR—the advo cates of free trade and cheap bread, are • now called upon to bestir themselves in right earnest. Let the Reformers remember that if, in conse•• quence of apathy on their part, the Gallant Commodore retire &writhe field, theirs will be the shame—theirs the disgrace of having, to a certain extent, betrayed their country in the hour of her greatest need. Let every Radical now do his duty by coming - forward in the full confidence that his vote will decide the election. Every vote is of the utmost importance. The thou sand from which a unit is subtracted is a thousand no longer. The man who, neglecting to exercise his own political rights, trusts to the patriotism ofneighbours having more leisure than himself; is unworthy of the enjoyment of the rights of . citizenship, and of the protection of the laws. We shall expect, therefore, to see every Re former in the borough early at his post this day, to record by his vote the triumph of NAPIER, and the downfal of the Corn-laws. We again revert to the great importance of the metropolitan boroughs being the first to set a good example to the country. Any semblance of a reaction in Marylebone would not fail to be turned to the worst account by the Tories. The question is not—Have the Radical constituencies entire confidence in Ministers? hut, Does the county want cheaper bread, cheaper sugar, and a more extended market for the products of manu facturing industry ? This question the electors of Marylebone are called upon to solve to-morrow, and the decision of a constituency so numerous, so generally enlightened, and so cognizant of the evils resulting from monopolies which enhance the price, and diminish the quantity of the neces saries of life, cannot but have an extensive influ ence. London, with its adjacent boroughs, is to the nation what the heart is to the human body, where every pulsation tells upon the extremities. Hence the necessity that the political action of this mighty heart should be sound, vigorous, and healthy ; and hence the urgency with which we press evePy Liberal elector within the bills of mortality, to the exhibition of a ten-fold zeal in doing his duty. Electors of Marylebone ! Re member your gallant struggle to obtain the Reform Bill, and bethink yourselves that you are now called upon to decide whether that Bill shall bear the rich harvest of ripe fruits which it at first promised, or whether, like the barren fig-tree, it only put forth a leafy foliage. Remember, that by turning your backs on NA PIER you content yourselves with the foliage and abandon the fruits of Reform. You are now the true Poor Law Com missioners, for the fate of the poor is in your hands. it is you who wit! now regulate their dietary, by deciding whether you will obtain for them employment and cheap bread, or confine them to the tread-mill and the workhouse. You have a high, and in the present state of the country, a most sacred duty to perform. For ourselves, we have unbounded confidence in you. May you confirm it by the cordial reception which you will this day give to Commodore Sir CHARLES NAPIER, as a candidate the most worthy to represent your influential Borough in the House of Common , : ! The mectingat the London Tavern yesterday, to receive Lord JOHN RUSSELL, was never sur passed•in wealth, rank, talents, and numbers by any similar meeting. it was a high honour to the City, which has, at length, taken up the noble cause of free trade in a noble spirit. Its example will be most efficacious in producing good deeds throughout the land. We can venture to praise it, because we have, heretofore, reproved it for its slackness. Of the speech of the Chairman, Mr. JONES LLOYD, a gentleman distinguished amongst the wealthy men of London for great wealth, and amongst the learned and accomplished j inhabitants of ,this metropolis for great Re quirements, it is impossible to speak too highly. It was discreet, manly, eloquent. He described the cause for which they had assem bled as the cause of wisdom and justice, the cause of reasonable liberality and enlightened le g islation, which were , at t h e same time, the characteristics of his own speech. His manner of introducing Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the meet- ing, was at once dignified and flattering to the Noble Lord and to the great City he will no doubt represent. We have no other re gret in referring to Mr. J. LLOYD'S eloquent speech, than the regret that no enlightened and intelligent constituency have yet secured his services in that House which his knowledge and his eloquence are so well calculated to adorn. Lord JoHN RUSSELL spoke nobly. He ex plained clearly the grounds on which the Mi- nisters rest their measures and justify an appeal to the people. He was able to say that Lord LEI CESTER and Lord SPENCER are both favourable to an alteration in the Corn-laws, and that the latter, had Lord FITZWILLIAM'S motion been brought forward, would have voted for it. The Noble Lord, already distinguished as the champion of religious liberty, and in that character the great friend of Dissenters, has by his speech yester day, and by the great impulse he has given to the doctrines of free trade, now earned for him self the title of the champion of commercial free dom. In the City of London he can, have no higher character, and men of all political princi ples will unite to secure his return. We under stand, in fact, that many professed Tories, but friends of free trade, will support him, so that his return will not only be sure, but triumphant. The Noble Lord Properly said of the opposing candidates, that they have shrouded their pur poses in a studied obscurity. They dare not, in fact, openly oppose doctrines and measures which are essential to the prosperity of London. The meeting was unanimous in resolving to support the four Reform candidates, and we trust that the return of the whole, as well as that of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, is assured. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The market for the public securities was firm, with a limited business doing. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities were at 93 to 97,1; and the Three per Cents. at 894- to 88i. Consols were marked 89 to 896 ex.-div. ; and Ex , chequer Bills were again at ss. to 7s. premium. A sale to some extent in Bank Stock ha-3reduced the value of that secu rity, which, from being so little dealt in, is sensibly affected by any bargain of magnitude. The price to-day was 168 for Money, and 169 for the Account. The settlement in the Foreign Market seemed to be against the Buis, who, however, if they never have more serious losses to make good than at present, will neither make nor lose f , rtuties. The Active Spanish Bonds were at 224 for iinnie diate delivery, and at 22i to ,I,- for the Account. The Pasyiv, Bonds were at 5 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at 33k ; Mexican. at 271; Brazilian, at 68,1 to 671, being a fur ther decline; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 521; and Russian at 1134 to .1.

At liarnburgh last Friday the Ex change on London was 13 54. The commercial classes in the City seem in better spirits 'to day ; the letters from America bringing over a few orders for goods, and accounts of more cheering prospects for the future. We hope they may be realised. (From The Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 14.—We have had rather a brisk demand for Cotten day.

Paper of 29th May : •• Nothing can he more promising than our commercial prospects up to the present moment. The tide of busit,ess with England has a g ain set i n w i t h f u ll f orce. I n our Yesterday's Paper we showed that the number of vessels which - arrived at. Quebec up to the 21st inst., had exceeded, by upwards of a hundred, the number entered to the same period last year, whilst in emigrants the difference is still more marked, the num ber recorded last year at this time being 2,951, while this year it is not less than 5,936. In four days alone the number of arri vals at the port of Quebec was upwards of 300, and each hour adds to the list. In our own port of Montreal there was, a day or two back, twenty-five square-rigged vessels, besides schoo ners, and the usual number of craft f rom l ower ports. We have no reco ll ec ti cn o f seeing so busy a scene before, and we may say it argues well for the prosperity of the colony. The Government has issued an advertisement for a very large contract for oak-timber, to be delivered in Kingston Docks before the Ist of July, from which it may be interred that ad ditional war steamers arc to be built. On Tuesday and Wed nesday the port presented a lively appearance; the wind was from the East, arid vessels were seen in quick succession miter ing the harbour. At one time, one hundred and twenty ves sels were in sight ; the total number arrived and reported to this hour, four o'clock, is supposed to lie about 300.

It may be important to state, since agr.- culture is the main-stay of Canada, and most the parties leaving this country to settle there havy that pur.uit in view, that the weather had become much sins. favourable for farming operations. The change, indeed, knit been wonderful, the thermometer at Quebec having reached 80 in the shade. Wheat had come up 120 hours after being sown, and every other sort of vegetation was progressing witty similar rapidity. The loss of the emigrant ship Minstrel, whirl. it seems, was a sound vessel well known in the Canada trade, has created a painful sensation here.

CAprTAL.—The Standard says " that the giant me nopoly is the monopoly of the capitalist 'of all the profit of labour, industry, and enterprise. But one thing is exempt from the grasping monopoly, the profit of the land. Indeed, Standard, we thought Sir James Graham had proved that ninetenths of the rent of land is mort gaged —got into the Clutches of the capitalists. We thought, moreover, that at present the greater portion of the land had been bought over and over again, and that rent and profit were all but another name for interest of money vested in the land. We are afraid that our Contempo rary, learned in Hebrew and Greek as he is, has got a great deal to learn of England and English society. Without calling capital a giant monopoly, it is pretty plain that its power is so great that it subdues all other property to its use and service. UNE 16, le4l. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. rA TEST NE WS FROM AMERICA AND FORTY-SEVEN LIVES LOST. (From the Quebec Mercury, ..f May 22.) It again b:•comes cur duty to record a calamity involving de struction of .human life to an awful extent. Four of the crew and fuur of the passengers of the brig Minstrel, Captain Outer bridge, arrived here yesterday, bringing the disastrous intel ligence, of which the following is an accurate summary. The Minstrel left Limerick, Ireland, on the 21st April last, for Quebec, with one hundred and forty-one passengers, emi grants, intending to sAtie in Canada. The vessel had a to lerable passage up to Tuesday last. at four o'clock in the morn ing, when she struck on fled Island Heel. There was a heavy sea running at the time, but the boats were launched and made fast to the fore chains. Upwards of one hundred passengers embarked in their boats, but their doom was quickly sealed ; the vessel " heeled off" into deep water and went down stern foremost, so suddenly that the "painters" of the boats could not be cast off, and the people who had em ' barked in the boats perished, with their equally unfortunate companions on board the ship, except four of the crew and four passengers, who alone, of upwards of 1 p souls, remained ,to tell the sad tale. These eight persons had embarked in the gig, which was towing astern, and fortunately for them, the rope w hich attached it to the vessel broke when she went down, They succeeded in pulling to White Island, where they re mained until the following day, when they were taken off by the ship Wellington, Mclntyre, and brought to Grose Isle. Captain Outerbridge, of the unfortunate Minstrel, behaved most gallantly during the awful scene, until he perish e d with the rest. He declared th a t h e would not leave the vessel un til his passengers were saved, and he was the last person seen by those who were in the gig, Following are the names of the survivors :—Crew—Patrick O'Loghlin, steward ; James Grady and Thomas Enwright, seamen ; and John Donoghue, apprentice. Passengers— Flaherty, shoemaker, and wife, Honoria Ringrose, and -- Collins. Following is a statement of the numter of the crew and passengers who perished : Crew Captain Outerbridge, mate, and 9 others. Passengers—Male adults, 47 ; female ditto, 41; males under fourteen, 10; female ditto, 9; males under seven, 9; females ditto, 12; infant:, 10. Total pe rished, 147. The WeDim from Li passengers above mentioned as being saved left the gton at Grose Isle, and came to Quebec in the Thetis, .imerick. DREADFUL DISASTER AT QCEBEC.

On the 12th instant, two men were murdered at or near Trader's hill, in the vicinity of the Okefenokee. There was also a report which needs confirmation, that one or two more individuals met a like fate at the hands of the falth less Seminoles. One of the murdered men we learn was killed in his own house, in which were two or three children who for tunately made their escape to their mother, she happening at the moment tob e a short distance frOm the house in the woods, where they erine,aled themselves till the departure of the savages. moat THE PACIFIC.

JUNE 3.—The close of the session will be an- i nounced on the 24th inst. By the an•ival of the Royal Mail stearmitr Caledonia, at two o'clock on Monday at Liverpool, we have received New York papers of the 31st ult., and Boston and Hairax papers of the Ist and 3d inst. respectively. We has e also received a s econd edition of the Liverpool Albion of yesterday, containing a summary of the most important news brought by the Caledonia. This tine vessel sailed from Boston on the Ist and Halif.ix on the 3d in stant, and, including a stoppage of ten hours at the latter port for the Canada mails, has made the voyage in' the remarkably short space of 12 days and 14 hours, the shortest, with but one exception, made since the establishment of the Cunard line of steamers. She has brought W 4 passengers, who are de lighted with their short and pleasant passage. The arguments in the ease of Mr. M'Leod having been con cluded, the Supreme Court took time to consider its judgment. It afterwards made an order, which was, " that, inasmuch as it is impossible that any decision will be made this term, M‘Leod shall be committed to the custody of the Sheriff of New York, and that the Sheriff of Niagara be discharged from responsibility." The Sheriff of New York hail, it was stated, refu ed to undertake the responsibility of the custody of the prisoner, who was very well treated in his peculiar eir carn•tances. The Halifax l'apers arc loud in th, it condemnation of the treatment which Mr. M‘Leod had received at the hands of the Americans, and blames the supineness of the British Govern.. merit on his behalf. The New York Papers, friendly to Eng land, seem to fear that the tone assumed respecting the case of the prisoner may lead to a serious dispute, between the two countries. The New York Papers contain a letter from Mr. M‘lead. It denies positively the Loastings alleged to hese been made. by him, that he was present atahe destruction of the .Carolke, and charges heavy persecutions on the " patriots" of Buffalo, Lockport, &c. tie ascribes his •arrest and indictment wholly to the vengeance of the said "patriots," and says that they have punished him more than the public are aware. The Extra Session of Congress was to commence on the 31st ult. The Message from the President would be deliverel on the Ist instant. The Journals are filled with speculations as to the leading business which was likely to engage the atten tion of the Legislature. The National Theatre, at New York, lisd been destroyed by fire on the morning of the 29th ult. The event was supposed to have been caused by incendiaries. A girl was burnt to death during the fire. The state of trade bad not undergone any alteration in the interval between the 20th and 31st ult. It was dull. The news taken out by the Caled , nia had a very depressing effect upon the New York Cotton Market. Holders of Cot ton submitted to a reduction of full 1-2 c., and, in some in stances, 3-4 c. r e r lb. At this decline buyers came into the market and took a large quantity. The exchange for the Caledonia was quoted at 108 to 1051, at which a fair business was transacted, and the market closed firm. On France the rate was sf. 26ic. to M. 25c; on Am sterdam, 39i to .40 ; on Harnhttrgh, pi to 36 ; on Bremen, 77 to 774. The shares in the Bank of the United States, which were quoted at 18i, at the date of the previous advices, had advanced to 20/ at New York. and 20-''. to 24 at Philadelphia. The bank had placed itself under the new revenue law. The intelligence from Canada is not important. Lord Sv denham took his departure from Montreal to Kingstcn on the 26th ult., to preside at the opening cf the United Parliament. Lieut. W.

The whole difficulty grows out of the different views taken by the General and the State GovernMents. The annexed correspondence between the Governor of New York and the.

The Governor to the President of the United States : STATE OF NEV YORK. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ALBANY, MAY 4, 1841. SlR—Lhave just learned from the public prints that the District Attorney of the United States for the Northern District of New York, is in attendance upon the Supreme Court of this State, in behalf of Alexander 31`I ‘ eoci f Minis indicted for murder committed in the "de struction" of the boat "Caroline," and which indictment is pending in the courts of this State. As the Attorney- Gensral of thi's State, and the District Attorney of Nia g,ara county, have charge of this prosecution in behalf of the people of the State of New York, the unseemly as pect is presented of a conflict between the Federal Go vernment and that of this State, which I respectfully sub mit to you is not calculated to inspire confidence among the common constituents of both in the harmonious rela tions and views of the two Governments, nor to chal lenge that respect from Great Britain to which our in stitutions are entitled, and which it is so essential to pre serve, particularly in the present state of the controversy with her. I am sure I need do no more than call your attention to the subject, to insure such a disposition of it as will manifest the regard which there can be no doubt of your entertaining 4n- the rights and character of this State, in the conduct of a. prosecution lift an offence against her sovereignty.—Very respectfully, your obedient servant. WILLIAM IL SEWARD. The President of the United States. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE GOVERNOR. WASHINGTON, INLAY 7TH, 1841. have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's letter of the 4th inst., in which you are pleased to say, that "you have just learned from the pub lic prints that the District Attorney of the United States for the Northern District of New Vaubois is in attendance on the Supreme Court of this State (New York), in half of Alexander 11V11,eod, who is indicted for murder committed in the destruction of the boat Caroline, and which indictment is pending in the Supreme Court of this State." and that " as the Attorney-General of this State, and the District Attorney of Niagara county, have charge of the prosecution in behalf of the people of the State of New York, the unseemly asp ec t i s p resente d of a conflict betw een th e Federal Government and that of this State, which I respectfully submit to you is not calculated to inspire confidence among the common con stituents of both in the harmonious relations and views of the two Governments, nor to challenge that respect from Great Britain to which our institutions are entitled, and which it is so essential to preserve, particularly in the present state of the controversy with her." In reply, I have the honour tosay, that the District At torney of the United States for the Northern District of New York, has received no orders from this Government to appear as counsel in defence of M'Leod—nor can I be that in the Absence of such orders, he has undertaken to assume that task in his official character. So fiir as I am informed, Mr. Spencer acts entirely in his private capacity as a practising attorney of the State of New York, in consequence of a retainer which dates back from a period antecedent to his having had official station conferred upon him. lam sure that in this you will see nothing unseemly, or calculated either to encourage a belief of the want of harmony in the relations or views of the two Governments, or in any way to diminish the respect of any foreign Government for our institutions. This Government has done no more in reference to the trial to be had before the Supreme Court of New York, than to furnish the counsel for the accused, upon their requisition, with such documentary evidence as was to be found in the State Department, and which was believed by them to be necessary to be used in the defence. In giving your Excellency the foregoing explanation, I am not to be understood as denying to this Govern ment, in order to the fulfilment of its i n t ernat i ona l duties and obligations, the right to resort to all consti tutional and legitimate means within its power. The confidence which I feel in the learning and justice of the Supreme Court of New York, and in the tribunals insti tuted by her for dispensing full and perfect justice, would cause me to avoid the commission of any act which would be a r a d ou btf u l construction. I pray your Excellency to accept assurances of my high consideration and respect. JOHN TYLER. His Excellency Wm. H. Seward. LETTER FROM ALEXANDER M'LEOD. (To the Editor of the Scottish Joa frna l.) DEAR SIR,-My attention has been often called to several false allegatiou relative to me that have become part of the history of the M'Leod case ; one that I had boasted at Lockport that I was at the burning of the Caroline, and was the actual murderer of Durfee, and that the indictment has been found and ulterior proceedings predicated on said boast. The absurdity of the allegation was so apparent, I thought it unworthy of notice. Even a Lockport jury would not indict a man upon any such assertion. I never said I was at the destruction of the boat, or anything of the sort ; nor do es an y w i tness against me say that he ever said that I said such a thing, till af.er they heard I was arrested. I was indicted at Lockport a few days after the burn- log of the boat along with several others, and lam the only person that was directly sworn to on that occasion, as having been recognised at the boat, which can be seen by reference to the evidence taken before the Grand Jury in Jan. 1838, in the Secretary of State's office at Washington. I was arrested on the 24th day of September last. Kept two days and nights a prisoner a s a f e l on on t h at indictment. I applied to a Judge on a writ of Habeas Cor pus, and after an examination held in Lockport, on the 26th September, I was discharged, as there was a mistake in the indictment, the Christian name being Angus, in place of AlexanderM‘Leod. I then said to Mr. Woods, the prose- . cuting attorney, beflire the judge and a number of people,' " Sir, I believe this indictment was intended for me, .and although I am DOW discharged in consequence of the misnomer, yet as I have business of importanc e ' c o m i.. i n this and the adjoining county to settle, I am anxious to refute the charge of murder and arson, that has been brorght against me by the patriots, of which I :MI in way guilty—and if you or they will bring an indict ment to maturity against me at your Court next month, and write to me the day of trial, I will attend with any witnesses and clearly prove that 1 had no participation in the destruction of the Caroline." The Circuit Court at Lockp7.t passed over, and having received no notice, I thought I might fairly return to settle my business without fear of further mo lestation. I was two clays and nights publicly in Buffalo. I remained one night st the Eagle. Tavern at the Falls, and caw, on the 12th of N“vember, to Lewiston—was just about to cross to C7nada when I was arrested by a constable with a crowd at his heels. I then found Major-General Handy of the patriot array and all his staff, and a large muster of patrits, were as sembled•agaiust me. The investigation continued until the 18th, whets I was committed. `there 11 9 lark were conveyed in the frigate Constitution to Valparaiso, where she arrived on the 11th.

(From the New York Herald Extra, of May 31. ) On the receipt of the late news from England, the Cotton Market in this city became quiet, and sales coubl not be effected un'esa at a decline of 4 to 1 c. per lb. from the rates previously current, although bad news in some measure was anticipated. The market remained quiescent for a few days and re:tnned its activity at the decline of Vic, at which the prices' have since born steady, and sales to a fair extent, mostly for export.
