The mlitary orciipation of the Florida* by the
United States of America, and the l.nrl►aroos and
sanguinary conduct of General .1 tCKSON in mur-
dering his prisoners, !Messrs. ARBUTHNOT sun
AMBRISTER, in eo'd blood, were last night sub-
mitt-c1 by the Marquis of LaNsnowu to the con-
sideration of the II ,use of Loads. 11w speech of
the Noble M atria contains a clear exposition or
the liw of oat• as connected with this unhappy
event, and I•avrs to the Government of the United
Stales no alternative but a public disavowal of the
etrori 3333 arta (is they were well designated by Lord
Livearoot.) of th-ir G-neril, or a participation
to the eternal i tfamv that must he affixed to the
nom.. of the mileilerer. The Eirl of Ltvr•Rruot.
and Lord BATHURST, on the part of the Govern-
went, give free expression to the sentiments of
abhorrence which must arise in every generous
find well-constituted mind at the contemplation
of owl) a transaction; but they argued against the
interference of this country, 03 the principle that
an individual in embracing the qn.irrel of a belli-
Ferro* nation, without the license of his own
(; wer ttttt rut, where the contending parties a►e both
at peace with that Government, thereby forfeits his
claim to its protection—that ARNUTHNOT sod
ASIBRISTER had embarked in the cause of the
Seminole Indians, and were thereby exposed to the
same fate that the victors may think proper to
inflict upon the vitiquishett. This argument may
excuse the British Government from demanding
reparation where the claim may possibly lead to a
tedious, expensive, and impolitic war; but it leaves
the crime in its original odiousness, and detracts
molting either from the atrocity of the murder on
the part of JACKSON, or from the Alimne that must
attach it•rlf to hi. Government, should it hesitate
to disavow any share in the transaction.
