PROMOTIONS

We have elsewhere noticed the cause of. the detention of
the steam-ship Britannia from Halifax and Boston, on ac-
count of which considerable anxiety was beginning to be felt
by the public. The following is the intelligence which she
FIOUSAND TESTIMONIALS OF SIGHT I brings :--

The advices are from New York to the 21st ult., Boston
22d, and Halifax 29th. The New York papers are filled with
details and reports of the proceedings before the Supreme
Courts in the case of M`Leod. The arguments commenced
on Monday the 17th ult. and were continued on the two fol-
lowing days. They were not concluded on the 20th when
the court rose, nor were they likely to be finally settled fur
some days. Mr. Hall, the district attorney, placed the case
before the court, and proceeded to substantiate his allegations
against the prisoner at great length, going entirely and at
large into the history of the seizure of the Caroline. Mr.
Spencer, M`Leod's advocate, claimed his discharge on the
ground that the act was a public act, the British government
having taken upon themselves the responsibility thereof.
Mr. Hall, after citing the authorities in reference to the in-
admissibility of relief by habeas corpus, entered into the
merits of the principal question. He said that murder had
confessedly been committed, and that as the government of
the United States wished the matter to be tried before the
States Courts, the demand of Great Britain in the case of an
illegal act committed by her subjects could have no effect.
He said England had imprisoned and sentenced Americans
taken on the disputed territory and he called upon the go-
vernment to recognise a precedent which, he said, England
could not with decency dispute. Mr. Spencer spoke very
energetically in reply respecting the positions of the two na-
tions, and called on the court to interpose their discretionary
power to prevent the occurrence of events which might occa-
sion free trade with England. To a question from the court,
whether the release of M`Leod was desired on account of the
pending negotiations with Great Britain, he replied that he
was not authorised to speak in behalf of the general govern-
ment, but that the court must exercise their own discretion.
Among the documents submitted to the court was a note
from Mr. Fox to Mr. Webster,. dated March 12,1841, stating
that her Majesty's government had the case under considera-
tion, and he (Mr. Fox) was directed to make known to the
government of the United States that the British government
entirely approved of the course pursued by him. He (Mr.
Fox) was instructed to demand formally, and in the name of
the British government, the immediate release of Alexander
M`Leod, for the reason that the transaction was of a public
character, planned and executed by persons duly authorised
by the Colonial government, and being an act of public duty,
those persons could not be held responsible to the laws and
tribunals of any forei:a country. _ _

The Halifax Morning Herald of the 28th ultimo says, " It
is admitted now, that, even supposing 111`Leod be found
guilty, he cannot be punished, as the British government
take on themselves the responsibility of the attack on the
Caroline."

Mr. Seward, the Governor of the State of New York, had
sent to the House of Assembly a communication transmitting,
in answer to Mr. Swack Swackham's resolutions, copies of
all the correspondence which had taken place between the
Executive Department of the State and the Executive Au-
thorities of the United States, concerning Alexander M`Leod.
The communication states that no arrangement of any kind
or for any purpose had been entered into by that department
with the Executive of the United States concerning that in-
dividual; that the department had no knowledge of the
proceedings taken in this case, the writ of habeas corpus not
having been sued out by himself until he arrived in Albany
on his way to New York : that the Attorney-General was
thereupon immediately instructed to resist the motion for
the discharge of the prisoner, and at the same time the Presi-
dent of the United States was respectfully informed that the

appearance of the District Attorney of the United States as
counsel for the prisoner was deemed incongruous with his
duties and injurious to the State of New York.
The assembly is assured that under no circumstances will
any arrangement or proceeding be entered into or permitted
with the consent of the executive department, the effect of
which might be to compromise, in the least degree, the
rights, honour, or dignity of the State.
The rate of Exchange on England at New York on the
20th ult. was 7i to United States Bank Shares were
selling at 48. An adjourned meeting of the shareholders in
the bank had been held. Another long report had been read,
the chief object of which was to justify the statements in the
previous report, the accuracy of which had been impugned.
The meeting was exceedingly stormy, and it at length ad-
journed without having done any business of importance.

The advices from Mexico state, that General Samana, at
tke head of 15,000 men. had advanced within forty miles of
Vera Cruz. A united force of Texians and Campeachians
had taken the fort and bar of Tampico. Trade was dull at
Vera Cruz.
