UNITED STATES

The packet-ship North America, Captain Lowber, which
sailed from New York on the 19th ult., and arrived in this
port on Sunday, has brought papers three days later than
those received by the Britannia, royal mail steamer.
M'Lton's CASE.—This case, we learn, cannot be carried
into the United States courts at all. It may be carried to
the Court of Errors, the highest state court, but no further.
The next step is, either his liberation or his trial, according
to law. The probability is that he will be tried at once.—
New York Herald of 17th ull.

The Herald repeats a statement previously made by it,
that M`Leod's case will not cause any difficulty between Mr.
Fox and Mr. Webster. The Times and Evening Star,
alluding to the opinion delivered by the Supreme Court,
says, that the opinion meets with but little favour at New
York, where it is considered unsound in its positions and
principles, as connected with the law of nations and inter-
national law generally. Mr. Pickens, the author of the
celebrated Report from the Committee of Foreign Relations,
pronounced the opinion of the court " an able one, which
never could be gainsaid in the United States or Great Bri-
tain." In a debate, in the House of Representatives, on
the 16th ult., on the Fortification Bill, this gentleman, refer-
ring to M`Leod's case, said, " He trusted that M`Leod
would be tried : it was due to the independence and rights
of New York that he should be ; but he hoped that he
would have a fair hearing, and, above all, it was due to the
people of New York, to their character, to our free and glo-
rious institutions, that he should have an impartial trial."
Several other members, in the course of the same debate,
stated their approval of the opinion delivered by Justice
Cowen. _ _

Mr. M'Leod's case was the prominent topic in the debate
on the debate upon the Fortification Bill, inasmuch as, in
the opinion of the speakers, it might lead to a serious diffe-
rence between the United States and Great Britain. Mr.
Brown, of Philadelphia, said, that he had, on the 15th, stated
to the committee the utterly exposed and defenceless state
of the city of Philadelphia and the shores of the Delaware,
and the necessity there was for some early or immediate
measures for their defence. " The remarks since made,"
said Mr. Brown, " by gentlemen of all political parties, in
relation to the difficulties existing between this country and
Great Britain, had convinced him that war was not improba-
ble, but likely to come upon us." Mr. M'Keon said, that it
did not become the United States " to quail before the inso-
lent and arrogant power of Great Britain. He had no idea
that she would be so anxious to declare war against us. The
great interests she had at stake would induce her to consider
well before she warred against this country, even if M`Leod
' "
be not released, or acquitted according to her request.
Ar
l'e°d must be tried : if guilty,
he would'b' e added Mr. M Keon,
convicted. If he was not present at the burning
of the Caroline ; if he can prove the alibi he says he can, let
him at once submit to a trial, and then, in a short time,
the whole case will be at an end. M'Leod's case would be
at an end; but the Caroline mtissacre and burning were not
at an end. He gave gentlemen in power notice, that he
c satisfactorily
prepty, and the murder
o
settled a point
would never cease his pursuit of that question. To that he
would hold the present administration. As long as he
held a seat on that door he would unceasingly pursue
the subject,
which involved the question of a violation of the ter-
ritory of
the
state,
f one of his fellow-citizens." The debate on the Fortifica-
tion Bill was resumed on the 17th ult. Mr. Ferris,
until
thel' burning saw
of New York, in the course of it spoke in support of a large
appropriation for the purposes of national defence. The
conclusion of
his speech was as bellicose as the speeches
•de-
livered during the 'debate generally had been. He said,—
"Their country was not so poor, so impoverished, so ex-
hausted, so crippled and broken down that she bad not the
put
.i
herself
means to build her fortifications andn a state of
defence. The scenes
they had lately witnessed called on
them to be ready. God forbid, that he should hope for war.
God forbid, that he should expect it. No : he trusted that
the sound sense and the good sense of the two countries
would never allow their congenial blood to mingle in the
