RV ENING EDITION

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

kiv e the
at Liverpool of the West Chesty., from
uesuoitietsa rk, we have received inteligence from the
r States up to the 18th ultimo. The probable
sthrebr of
eserythe arrest and trial of Mr. M'Leod upon
so
ation of peace with England was the all-ab-
ag topic with the American public. Considerable
excitement had been occasioned by the publication of
the Report presented to the House of th Representatives 13th of February by the Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Foreign Relatives. This document, which
7:publish entire, is,
we think, anything but creditable

yaoneifestly highly. colaured, partial, and obviously in-
merits of the affair of the Caroline, and the
untenable grounds on which the State of New

e_r• -McLeod for his alleged part in that transaction—all
yeroee that
%A n • passion actuated the " bare neijolity" of the
co:1(1413We from which it emanated ; who, instead of
