The New York Papers express the liveliest indig-
nation at the seizures of American property by Lord
Cocntaami in the South Seas. They refer more par
titularly to the capture and confiscation of 142,000
dollars, being the proceeds of the cargo of the brig
IMacedonian. The American accounts of this trans-
&lift, if cortect,would certainly establish against Lord
„COCHRANE a case of lawless plunder. • Capt. SMITH,
who commanded the Macedonian, trading to Lima,
isad sold and delivered, the American Papers state,
his cargo to the Philippine Company, before that port
was declared to be in a state of blockade; but this is
the reverse of Lord Cocuanua's oven statement of
the affair. When the bloCkade was declared by Lord
COCHRANE, this vessel, with other, neutral vessels,
went round to the little port of Guermez, about 110
leagues North-east oftintai.being the port designa-
ted by Lord Cocitkltth. httnself: 'Captain' SMITH,
