GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF FOREIGN RELATIONS. (From the New York Express of the 19th u l t .) "'rho Report in the House of the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations iT one of the trashiest officiid farrago of words we ever riad—so trashy even, that it would hardly pass muster for an editorial article in the loudest demand for, and absence of, all other copy. It has in it neither dignity nor a good construc tion of the English language, and were it the work of a college Sophomore, it would be discreditable to the writer. 'llere'is an air of smartness in it, very peculiar to the Honourable Member for South Carolina, but very disreputable to the Hon. Chairman of a Com mittee of the Douse of Representatives, so that. it is in many respects as improper and as mean a public document as ever emanated from any tenth-rate public functionary. It comes nearly up to the blustering bravado of GoVertior Fairfield, the hero of the cam pa;gn of the Madawaska, though the logic in it is not half so meritorious as that of the Maine Commander in-Chief. " The reasoning. of Air. Pickens upon the case of the steam-boat Caroline, and M'Leod, will pass for what it is worth, though he has very poorly argued here upon the claims of nations to viol►te each other's terri tory, and made but a miserable case for his country men, when he might have made a good one ; but we pass from all this to comment upon the style, tone, and manner of the Report, which is a disgrace 4 ) the House of Rvrezentativcs for even sand io,iing its pub lication. " In the opening of the Report, Mr. Pickens speaks of an insinuation' of the British Minister, which might well be retorted,' and then goes on sneeringly, in a grave official report, to.speak of Great Britain 4in the plenitude of its power,' casting the aerie of British jurisdiction over American soil,'—following on with the idea that ' the British Minister is pleased to call the Caroline,a piratical steam-boat,' to cone!ude the remark, that the loose epithets of any one, no matter how high in place, cannot make that pitaey which the law of nations does not ..recognise as such.' We are then told in a subsequent paragrarh what is disgraceful to us if true, and which, therefore, a Committee on Foreign Rd itions should not publish to the world, that There is an assumption in most of our iota , course with Great Britain revolting to the prid , .: and spirit of independence in a free people' (a flourish of rhetoric this, sadly out of place) whereupon we are urged further on, not in words though, but in the tone of the style, and the rhetorical sputter of the sentences to be mighty smart in showing off our pluck—at least so to swagger as to seem to be born insensible to fear.' Fuither on, we arc told, the demand for M'Leod is preposterous in the extreme,' as if this were fit diplomatic language, and not disgraceful to the parties employing it ; when Mr. Pickens•, in the progress of his logic, concludes with the remark, that in this case, the demand for libera tion has' been made by the accredited agent of a great Power, and under circumstances of peculiar aggrava tion and excitement.' " The most absurd and out-of-place part of the Re a port, however, is, the dissertation of the Hofrourable Gentleman, political and geographical, upon the power of Ureat Britain, in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Ame rica ; as if, when his Committee was charged with two specific case, that of the Caroline' and of ' M•Leod; he had a right to print a trCatise upon Gibraltar,' 4 Malta," the lonian Islands,' St. Jean d'Acre,' St. Helena,' Halifax,' Bermuda,' China,' Trinidad,' and the ' Caribbean Sea'—with steam power' to boot, and some additional grave dissertations, t 3 vvi'a that arice and ,ambition are the ruling passions of im am times, .and it is in vain to shut our eyes to the state of things around us.' [lndeed I—important, too, it is so new I] " It is in vain to shut our eye?,. though, to the fact, that Mr. Pickens is a very great swaggerer in words, and has made a Report in Congress disreputable in logic, disreputable in tone, expression, and character, and in the worst of taste. What does the man mean ? If there be assumption' in oura intercourze with Great Britain revolting to the pride and spirit of independence in a free people, it was the duty of this great swaggerer to ' end his Report with a resolution for the declaration of war, or for direct taxes forthwith, and an appropriation of a hundred millions of dollars to prepare. " If Great Britain's accredited agent' makes deaaantls of us pre posterous ha the extreme, aud' under circumstances of peculiar aggravation,' why not forthwith recommend a conscription of one hundred thousand men, a fortified" garrison of ten thousand for Detroit, another of twenty thousand for Buffalo, and so on, with twenty millions of dollars for steam-ships to defend the coast? If Great Britain demands what is revolting to our spirit and pride as a free p mple, preposterously, and in the extreme, aggra vating us toe, the remedy at least is preparation for war, for which this Boanerges of South Carolina makes not the least preparation. " The object of the South Carolina swaggerer is pal pable, however, in all this utterance of words. Mr. Granger, in the course of the debate, beat what he well called the bag of wind,' aud Mr. Adams let it out of the bags. Mr. Pickens was making a party Report, he told us, and it came from the Committee by a party vote. ' A defeated enemy in war was abandoning a tenement, and setting fire to it upon their retreat.' Now that Mr. Pickens's party had lost the control of the Government, if words would set it on fire in new hands, he meant to leave enough to burn it up. To a bankrupt treasury he r wished to add the bequest of a war. To foreign affairs, now already complicated enough by the want of management, he wished to add more of complication. The train might not reach—the fire might not catch well. Mr. Pickens would prepare it all, apply the torches, and run to South Carolina ; the last we should probably ever hear of him in case of war though born insensible to fear.' " CASE OF THE AMISTAD. The following cor respondence between the British Minister and the Se cretary of State has been communicated by the Pre sident to Congress : " MR. FOX TO MR. YORSYTII. " WasLington, Jan. 20, 1840. " Sir—l am instructei to represent to you that the at tention of her Majesty's Government has been ser:ously directed to the case of ecri&n African negrocs, found on board the Spanish ship Amistad, the same persons whose case had been brought before the Courts - of law of the United States, and tor whom a powerful and humane in terest appears to be felt in this country as well as in Eng land. " It is known to her Majesty's Government that those ne groes were imported into Cuba direct from the coast of A frier, in a Portuguese slave-vessel, called the Tecora, in the summer of 1839, and that shortly after their arrival, they were purchased as slaves at the Havannah by two Spaniards of the names of Jose Ruiz and Pedro Montez. Ruffs and Montez then placed the negroes on board the Amistad, in tending to convey them to another port in Cuba. It ap pears that during the voyage, the negroes, with a rew of recovering their liberty, seized possession of the vessel, put the master to death, and ordered the remaining whites to navigate the vessel to the coast of Africa. The whites, however, directed their course towards North America, un til they were fallen in with by the United States brig of war Washington, when the Amistad was finally brought into the port of New London , in Connecticut. The pro ceedings which have taken place subsequently to the ar rival of the negroes in the United States are sufficiently well known to you. " Now her Majesty's Government have to observe that, since the year 1820, it has become unlawful, according to the law of Spain, to import negroes from Africa as slaves into the Spanish dominions, and that, as the negroes here referred to had been newly imported from Africa into Cuba, and could not by law be imported as slaves, they must, in tho eye of the law, be considered as free persons. " And Great Britain is also bound to remembet: that the law of Spain, which finally prohibited the slave trade throughout the Spanish dominions from the date of the 30th of May, 1820 (the provisions of which law arc con tained in the King of Spain's Royal Cedula of the 19th of December, 1817), was passed in compliance with a treaty obligation to that effect, by which the Crown of Spain bad bound itself to the Crown of Great Britain, and for which _a valuable compensation in return was given by Great Britain to Spain, as may be seen by reference to the se cond, third, and fourth articles of a public treaty con cluded between Great Britaikand Spain on the 23d of Sep. tember, 1817. " Her Majesty's Government, therefore, are moved by special and peculiar reasons to take an interest in the fate of these unfortunate Afiicans, who are known to have been illegally and feloniously reduced to slavery by sub jects of Spain. "It is next to be observed that Great Britain and the United States have mutually engaged themselves to each other by the tenth article of the Treaty of Ghent, to use their best endeavours for the entire abolition of the African slave trade ; and there can be no doubt of the firm inten tion of both parties religiously to fulfil the terms of their engagement. " Now the unfortunate Africans, whose case is the rub jaececti d o e f nt t a h l e eiPrcrcusmesnttanc r epresentation , of the authotitie s of the United States ; and it ma y probably depend u p on the action of the United Sta tes Government, whether those •pen*ds shall recover t t :e freedom to which the y are en titled, or whether -they s hall be reduced to elaver y , in vio es into the hands liav e bee n thrown by lation.of known laws and contracts publicl y p ass ed , pro hibiting the continuance of the African slave trade by Spa- • nigh subjects. 66 It is under these circumstances that her Majesty's in behalf of the aforesaid Af r i cans, as sha ll secure u s Govornmsetantt anxiously o:i,,,illfia hope dilimsetlhfatemtphL President eredtota of ue such r U o en t 3i h ts e ed m re the possession of their liberty, to which, without doubt, they are by law entitled. I avail myself of this occasion to renew to you the as surances of my distinguished consideration. IL S. FOX." The Hon. John Forsyth," &e. &c. LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1841.

Their respective parties were eager to get on, and having failed to obtain 15 to 1, closed first with a point less, and, in subsequent bets, with a further diminution, the lowest odds taken being 12 to 1 about Rosalie, alt. had the call throughout, and. 13 to 1 about Eringo ; Coro nation was backed at 15 and 16 to 1, and closed at Moe day's average. All the 20 and 22 to 1 horses of Monday last were maintained, and the majority backed, the odds remaining as before : in fiat, with the exception of the im provement in the two favourites, 'and a decline in Mongo lian, our price current will be found to have undergone very little change.

Charles Boyer, for rendering gunpowder inex plosible in magazines, withbut deteriorating its physical and chemical properties. At one of the sittings, M. Boycr shed a shower of sparks upon a quantity of his prepared powder, without producing ignition, and afterwards dipped a lighted sulphur match into a bottle full of the powder, and drew it out immediately, still burning, with many grains of the powder adhering to it. It was then prove i by experiment that the quality efithese last grains of pow der had not lost any of their impelling force. Colonel Henry Godwin and Captain G.

HENRY WILSON, Actuary and Secretary. EVENING EDITION " MR. FORSYTH TO MR. FOX. " Department of State, Washington, Feb. 1, 1841. " Sir,-1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt f your letter of the 20th ultimo, in which you state that 'ou are instructed to represert to me that the attention of er Majesty's Government has been seriously directed the case of the negroes of the Spanish ship Amistad, vith the anxious hope that the President of the United States will feel himself empowered to take such measures in their behalf as will secure to them the possession of their liberty. " viewing this communication as an evidence of the be nevolence of her Majesty's Government, under which as spect alone it could be entertained by the Government of the United States, I proceed, by the direction of the Pre sident, to make, in reply, a few observations suggested by the topics of your letter. The narrative presented therein, of the circumstances which brought these negroes to our shores, is satisfactory evidence that her Majesty's Govern ment is aware that their introduction did not proceed from the wishes or directions of the Government of the Uei!ed States. A formal demand having been made by the Span ish Minister for the delivery of the vessel and property, in cluding the negroes on board, the grounds upon which it is based have become the subject of investigation before the judicial tribunal; of the country, which have net yet pro nounced their final decision thereupon. Yon must be aware, Sir, that the Executive has neither the power nor the dispo sition to control the preceedings of the leeal tribunals, when acting within their appropriate jurisdicti m. With re gard to the other considerations presented by you i behalf of the negroes of the Amisted, I have to remark that it is not understood that the facts upon which they arc founded arc admitted by the Minister of her Catholic Majesty; and this Government would with great reluctance erect itself into a tribunal to investigate such questions between two friendly sovereigns. If, however, these facts arc established, they cannot be without their farce and effect in the proper time trod place. You hove doubtle3s ebzert ed, front the co: responr:- erica published in a congressional document, that it is the intention of the Spanish Minister to restore these negroes, should their delivery to his Goverment be ordered, to the Island of Cuba. whence the vessel in which they were found sailed, where they will be placed under the prcoec • tion of the Government of Spain. It is there that gees tions arising under the Spanish laws and the treaties , of Spain with Great Britain may be appropriately di:cussed and decided ; and where a full opportunity will be presented to the Government of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain to appeal to the treaty stipulation applicable to the subject of your letter. " I avail myself of this occasion to renew to you the as surances of my distinguished consideration. "JOHN FORSYTII.

Sythie , Thurley, 21 , and William Marley, 23, brothers, were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of William Prior, and stealing a watch, his property. Mr. Knox conducted the prosecution; Mr. Ryland the defence. It app'ared, from the evidence adduced, that the pro secutor was a labouring man, residing at Great flellin bury, and in the month of September he and his wife It ft their c3ttsge to go ti work, and when they returned they found some one had broken into it, and had stolen two pounds in money and en ancient silver watch. The pi i- Sonora were labourers living in the same neighbourhood, and they were seen near the prosecutor's house on the day after the robbery, and shortly afterwards the prisoner Sydney offered the watch for sale to a watchmaker at Bishop's Stortford. One of the Essex constabulary, ac companied by another man, attempted to take the prisoners into custody, but they made a most violet,t resistance, and one of them bit the constable severely on the hand, and they both made their escape, and were not taken for a con siderable time afterwards. The Jury found the prisoner Sydney Guilty, and ac quitted the other prisoner. Lord DEN?.IAN sentenced the prisoner to nine months' imprisonment and bard labour. Thomas Cumbers, John Cumbers, and James Ives, labourers, were c:)nvicted cf breaking into an out-house belonging to Christopher Thomas Tower, Esq., the late High Sticriff of Essex, and stealing two guinea.-11wls, his property. The prisoners were sentenced to twelve months' im prisonment, and as they nacre leaving the bar they said they cNi,hed they had been transported. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION. H O USE.

The prosecutor, who is a man of athletic appearance, s'ated that about three o'clock on Monday, as ho was lerv ing the Corn Exchange, at which he had been transacting busire;s, there was a crowd of people at the gate, some of whom were endeavouring to get in, lie observed one man who pressed very ctt,sely upon him,. and it irnmedi• attly occurred to him that I c might Le in dangerous com pany.

In the struggle tile prisoner dropped something behind his bank, which proved to be the pocket- book in the notes and check were deposited.

Aldtrinan WILSON—Very well. You shall go to New_ gate for trial. The case is as clear as possible. Does the vrasecutor thick he will recollect the face of tho thief he first Lid hell of? The 'prosecutor replied that he should know him, and was determined to collar -him whenever he should ace him. Inspector Bradley said that a robbery on the Corn Ex change was ritzy unusual. Nothing of the kind had taken place for years there. The pliioncr was committed fur trial. Sarah Elten was charged with Laving had in her Fos sessi,n Gibs. of tobacco on which the duty had not been paid. The penalty, according to Act of Psrliament, for haviug i i possession more than 6lbs. is 100/. or imprison ment for twelve calendar months; and the Solicitor for the Customs sued for the whole amount, as the prisoner is a notorious smugg!er, and had but lately been ciEseharged from prison, where she had been confined for a similar offence. The woman, who said that a person had made her a present of the bit of tobacco for domestic purposes, was then convicted in the full penalty. The Solicitor for the Customs said that the labours of the smugglers had been suspended by the severe weather, but that it was expected the contraband trade would be pushed with vigour immediately. It was therefore the intention of the Board to press every case to the full extent of the law.—Committed. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.
