Mr. But Len spoke to the same effect. Mr .STEVENS thought, notwithstanding all that bad been said, that an investigation of the causes oft he calamities complained of ought to take place.

Thy. Noble Lord, lie doubted not, had come there with a wish to promote this. 'laudable tobjec, ; and he would put it to that Noble Lord's urbanity and politeness, whether he ought to persevere in his proposition. They had net ! hire for purposes of charity, not for any thing poll 7 tical, and he would put it to the meetingoti well as to the Noble Lord, whether his proposition had not a strong • political tendency ?—(Hear, hear ! 'and applause.) Lord COCHRANE said, it was not his intention to introduce any thing of u political nature—that such was not the charticter of his Resolution ; but it was what, he thought, a necessary supplement to the proeeedings of the day. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY desired to call back the attention of the room to the real situa tion in which they were placed. A Motion had been made and duly seconded, and was it con sistent with regular proceedings nut to put that motion ? A new tumult arose ; many individuals at. 1 tempted to address the Chair at the same time ; some called on Lord Cochrane to press his mo tion, and 'nothing that was said could be dialllCE• l'y heard. . The Duke of KENT rose, but could not imme diately gain a hearing. He said but one plain duty remained (M. him to fulfil, which was; to ask ilte Meeting, whether they, were of opinion they ought to agree to the Motion before them ?--- (thiiversal applause, and a great show of hands appeared for the Motion.) The Duke of Yon bowed to all parts of the room, and retired, *midst a mingled tutuelt of ap plause and thiapprqbatiOn. The Duke of KENT was loudly called upon to take the Chair, for the purpose of entertaining Lord Cochrane's Motion. Hit Royal Highness It ',pealed to the room, whether, under all the cit.- cunistanees, it was possible foi him to take the Chair. When be put the Motion fur Thanks, it was but in the performance of a duty to collect the sense of the Meeting on what had been pro-, perly moved and Seconded. It was not with a view of getting rid by unfair meanitOf any propo sition which the Noble Lord might wish to bring forward. He trusted they would bear in mind who he was, and with whom he was connected. His two illustrious relatives had left the room, and be was accompanying them, when the request that he would take the chair was made to him. He had attended there as lie had before stated, to promote the cause of Charity, not to mix in a meeting as.sembled for political purposes. He twisted they would do justice to the sentiments by which he was animated, that the generosity of k..ugllshmtko would he extended towards him at the. present painful moment ; and that they wanki agree with him that it was quite impossjble for him to take the chair, to receive a proposition which was wholly of a political tendency. .. This Address was received with shouts of ap plause, and his Royal Highness bowed and re. Aired. The scene of confusion, however, did 'Hot end here, but increased in every part of the room. Several personkascended the chairs and tables at the Caine moment, to call for a new Chairman. Some reqoired Lord Cochrane to take upon him. self to preside.; but subsequently, a Mr. 11Iorti. mer was proposed and. voted in the Chair. He, when called upon was out to be found, upon which Lord Cochrane retired, walking along the. tables across the room, on leaving which be in his taro was pursued ,by hisses and groans, for deserting (as it was termed) .those who .wished his proposi tion to be taken into consideration.

We extract the follow : Mg from a late l'hiladelOtia Paper : The Albany Pipers a few days since stated, that a considerable number of sailors had passed through that city on their way to Lake Erie : the circumstance at the moment did not strike us as Very extraordinary. The following from the :Pittsburgh Mercury, 'dated Detroit, June 8, 1816, Will however ex plain these movements Here follow the depositions of various person's, some masters and some passengers, on board se veral American vesvls, moving up, the Detroit river, 0.t.-:—The brig Union, James Beard master, who states in his depoidtion before the Magi- strate, that oh the 31st of May last, while the vessel was passing apposite Malden, in Upper Canada, on her way to Detroit, a musket was discharged at her from a British vessel then at anchor, and she was slitirtly afterwards boarded by a .British officer and four men from the ship : the former Said he came in search of two deserters fruits his ship, who, he was :told; were on board the Union ; that he searched the vessel for them, and sent one 'ot his Men down into the fosecastle for that purpose, and not finding those men, departed. Another deposition is by Oliver Edwards, master of the schociner i Charnpton ; and states, that his vessel was also hoarded About the same place by an officer and four men frotis British Vessel, w h o demanded. the master's name, inspected his crew and lading, from whence and whither they were bound, inquired whether she had - any gnus on hoard, and made entries in writing of the result of his inquiries : that the officer acted in a very imperious manner timing the course of his proceedings. The nextdeposition Was from Ephraim Pentland, Esq.. a passenger on board the General Wayne schooner, 'of Presque Isle, bound to Detroit ; and states, that General Wayne was boarded on the 3d of June by an Officer and four men from his Britannic Majesty's armed schooner Tecumseh, at anchor n Amherst burg, and that he inquired for the Commanding Officer, and itniatirlie like inquiries end inspections,. and then .leparted. The next deposition is from. G. 15. Larne& dated June .3; being a passenger on lioar'd the brig Hunter ; and states, that the brig Hunter, ,:betungint ,to the United Sipes, was hoarded Abreast of Malden by a' British officer mid four i‘ • men, who interrogated her captain, and minutely inspected her lading, paisengers, and sailors, and departed. There was another deptis' ition from 'Lamed upon the like subject. Then follows a letter from Governor Cass, dated : Detroit, June 6th, 1816, to the Officer commanding the schooner Tecumseh, which is as follows : 4, Detroit, July 6, ISM " has been officially represented to me, that in several instances, within a few days, vessels bound frost porta of the United States upon Lake Erie, to,this place, have been boarded by parties of men from an armed vessel of, his Bri tannic Majesty lying off Arnherstburg. f"rhese parties hare euteved the vessels while passing through the usual channel of communication between Lakes Erie and Huron, in one instepee with the avowed object of taking therefrom two men, under the pretence of their being British deserter's; and in all instances with objects, so far as they could be ascertained from the questions and conduct of the boarding alert, which furnish nojustificationfkr a British Olicer in forcibly entering a vessel of the United States. 4 ' The manlier in which this service has been perforaled has had no tendency to diminish the ctlcA which the cba. racier of such trausaetions calculate d prodtve. The conduct of the boarding officer has been arritgant and int. perions. f‘ In an aggression U.; this, the government of the United States can alon* detdrmine what course the honour and Mit- rest of the nation requ►re should he taken. " But until their decision shall be made upon the subject, it becomes my duty to remonstrate against a .practiee for which the laws of nations afford no pretence; which is. in• consistent with the relations existing between our reApectire Governments, and the continuance of which must be attended with serious sindrsmpurtant consequences.
