eTner named DARFOUR, and of the expulsion
f°l4 of the Members of the Chamber of Corn-
41°11s. The documents which are published do
not state
a specific charge against any of these
parties ; and all that we can ascertain from the
Present information is, that the delinquents had
proposed certain innovations which were dis-
tasteful to both the Executive and the Legisla-
vve branches of the Government ; that there had
tieen in consequence a popular effervescence, and
that the Rupublic of Hayti had inflicted
sum-
mary punishment upon the unfortunate DAR-
.Z
elt) and the four obnoxious Representatives of
People, without resorting to the dilatory
and troublesome forms of legal proceedings.

We have inserted in another coltmn the letter
of Mr• BowRING to Mr. CANNING. On Mr.
that)
shewing, it would certainly appear
at) whatever. might be the motives for his arrest,
there are
no
sufficient grounds for his continued
detention. We must recollect, however, that we
have .
still been furnished with nothing more than
the,
e•Parte statements of Mr. BOWRING himself,
the of his personal or political friends. When
tr his
of the circumstances are known the
ansaction may wear a very different aspect from
that
in which it is now presented.

`PEST INDIA TRADE.—Most of our Readers
tinderstand from the British Acts of Parliament,
4tid
the from the Proclamation of the President, that
f intercourse between the United States and
tritish Colonies is placed upon a reciprocal
eting to the vessels of both nations. The Procla-
ttllti°4) however, does not admit of this con-
struction ; there is nothing in it which would
exempt a British vessel, coming from one of her
oton•
of f teS to the United States, from the charge
14 "'reign tonnage, which, we are informed, will
e exacted here, unless instructions to the con-
trary are received from the Treasury Depart-
atentt. We cannot for a moment imagine, that
I,,er the British Acts have placed this corn-
--erce
the upon so liberal a footing, it can be
the :sterltion of our Government to continue
in -icrirninating tonnage duty which would be
th effect to confine the trade to our own vessels,
11°.ugh as soon as the act would be known to the
lash Government the intercourse would, by
an ot

are further of an opinion that the subject
only
wants an- explanation.

LETTER from MR. BOWRING to MR. CANNING.
Boulogne Prison, Oct. 24.

SlR—After 13 days of solitary and severe confinement, I ant
permitted to address you. I have been shut out from ali com-
munication with my Government, my lawyer or physician, with
my family or friends, During this imprisonment an attempt
was mad*o remove me to Paris by a warrant from the Judges
there. I resisted, and resisted succe;sfully, under the protec-
tion of one of the articles of the cede de procedure (the 100th),
which there was every disposition to violate.

It would appear the Government begins to feel that it has'
been too rash and arbitrary in its proceedings. I have under-
gone another long examination—secret as usual—and even the
presence of an interpreter denied, though formally demanded.
Four pages of interrogatories had been sent from Paris. Not
one question among them had a reference to that " revolu-
tionary correspondence" of which I was suspected of being the
bearer, and on that plea, and that plea alone, delivered over to
the various acts of outrage of which I have been, and still am,
the victim. I again inquired with what I was charged, and
demanded the act of accusation. None exists : the ground pre-
viously taken even seems abandoned. Some justification, some
plea of justification, would of course be expected by you, and a
long series of questions have been sent in consequence—some
of which they deemed might possibly lead to a confession, or
a detection, which might palliate their arbitiary proCeedings.
They suspeci, me (they say), though they venture not to accuse
me, as the proces verbal will show, of being engaged in a plot
with individuals (whom I had never seen), arranged in Lon-
don (from whence I was far distant at the time), to rescue
from prison (though I never heard even of the place of their
confinement) the young men who were lately executed for
political offences, (with not an individual of whom had I
ever any the slightest intercourse). They suspect me of fur-
nishing the pecuniary means for their escape, though not 1,000
francs have passed through my hands since lave been in this
country. The charge is as visionary as it is false—it is false in
the aggregate—it is false in every individual detail ; but to
support it, the whole machinery of moral torture (for the due
operation of which a fortnight's sufferings are supposed to have
prepared the victim) is put in action, and it is expected to en-
trap some new fact by a snare so widely and so artificially laid.
Sir, it is from this monstrous system of inquisitorial cunning
and violence that I appeal to my country and to you. Aban-
donded to the resources of my own mind—a mind stronger,
however, than all the strength of tyranny—l have hitherto had
to struggle with every thing that artifice and oppression could
direct against me—abandoned, among criminals, without so
much as a single presumption, however weak, of crime.
It cannot surely be tolerated, that a man, and an English-
man, is to be hunted from suspicion to suspicion—each base-
less or absurd—till something shall be found, or something
shall be fancied, which may serve to veil the original acts of
violence. If so, the ends of suspicious despotism are gained—
the sufferings are inflicted—the innocent object of dislike is
buried in his dungeon. This, Sir, cannot be done with impu-
nity. I have confidence iu the dignity of your character : I
have confidence in the high spirit of my country. Some re-
dress will be demanded for the past—some security will be ob-
tained tbr the future.
I have the honour to be, with every sentiment of respect,
Sir, your most obedient and most humble servant,
(Signed) JOHN BOWRING.
To the Right Hon. George Canning, his Britannic
Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
