Sittr.-The assertion contained in Ttstr.SoN, a
thy or two hack,, that " there are 1000 En;.;lish
in the tJuite'd States of America who have applied
to their Consul to he sent home,'' induc'es me to
infquire whether any steps have been Wren to
fulfil the wishes and prayers of those poor deluded
creatures ? I hope the British Consuls in Amt•
rica possess a discretionary power to relieve anti
send home all distressed British subjects who up.
ply to them : it they do not, possess such powtr,
then their authority is incomplete and defective,
and should, be immediately remedied. The effect
which would be produced throughout the United.
Kingdom by the return of such persons is beyontl'
calculation,; their reports .and statements of mi..
series, evils, and indignities experienced in Ante-
riCa, would glide imperceptibly into every pa. '
risk, .bander, and! cottage in the kingdom, and
would allgy the itch for emigration (now so pre-
valent) more effectually than a thousand volumes
written on the subject.
