UA-RTER TO THREE.
The feeling in the City upon the Right of Search dis-
pute between us and America has been rather depiessed
by the news relative to the excitement at New York,
and in the southern cities of the United States since the
release of the slaves who escaped to Nassau. It is, however,
the persuasion of the best informed, that, as regards the
African question, the Government at Washington must
snake its own tommodore suffer, if he does wrong by en-
tering into an agreement concerning us and the right of
search;
