SIR, '0''
| have received the letter which Won wrote
me on the 18th inf. by the direction of the com
mittee, appointed by general meeting of the
Merchants of New-York.
The ioIioItude of thofe engaged in FOREIGN
Commerce at the prefent crifis, which led TO the
application, could not fail to awaken the re-
gref, that the cauEe Of mercantile operations
could notin all cafes be regulated, by more
precIfe knowledge of Foreign occurrences but
you are doubtlefs fentible, that communica.
tIon OF the features of that profpeGt, which if
not multiplied and varied, with the multiDlied
variation incident to it, NUT itfelf become a
fource Of mifcalcugation, would exceed the dutv
& responsibility ofa any government, as it would
frequently do the rules of prudence, if the talk
were LET'S impracticable. 1t is only therefore,
IN peculiar cafes, where the exifence, or the de.
cided approach of events deeply affecting the
whole, or particular claiIes of citizens, NAV be
known to the government, and not efficiently
within the general means Of conjecture and an
tcipatioD, that fpeca notifications can be re-.
CURED, either according to expedency or H.
iage and 1t IS juit fubjeG of congratulation
IN TINS country, that fuch is the degree of pub
lcIty given by the ordinary vehicles of Giro ula-
uon, to Foreign occurrences and Appearances,
~" '"N" '"S capacity OF our mercantile TEL
low citizens for approaching them, that that
intelligent portion of the community is as little
dependent in the United States, on the notih
cations of the government, as in any country
whatever.
Perfuaded, fir, that the juanefs of thers re-
marks will at once be perceived, make no o.
ther apology for limiting the anf,ver to your en-
qulres, to general aiIuraDce of the diipoftion
OF the PRECEDENT, to give to every clafs of citi-
zens, the proper information which it may lie
with the executive to afford, and to an intima-
ton, that whatever entertainments or riks
may be incident to particular branches of Com.
meroe, the location is not of character to iuc.

1906
Yesterday the circuit court of the u States be-
gan Its hitting. Judge Patteron was unable to take
MS Leaf on the bench, through indfpoiton aud the
court was opened by the diitria Judge, Talmape.
Asioon as the grand jury had been fworn and retr-
ed, the council OF MIR S. G. Ogden itaed to the
court, that IN behalf of his ball. who had been bound
by recognzance for his appearance and attendance al
this time, they had brought him into court and now
moved to iurrender him in their diicharge This
was coniented to by the attorney of the dria and
the iurrender and dcharge Of the bail being entered
the diiIrct attorney moved the courf for the commit
ment OF Mr. o. to the culfody OF the MARTIAL. This
application was oppoled by his council, who con-
tended that could not be granted unleis lome ground
was then ihown to iupport 1t that the defendant
beng now in different court from that in which
ms recognizance taken this court NUT act upon
Information then before IL, without regard 10 what
had happened eilewhere and that it was inconiil-
ent with the principles of liberty that asy citizen
houid be inproned without knowing preciiely the
charge made againA him.
The diiritt attorney replied that as the original
cogzance had been taken before the fame udpe who
was then on the bench, and was therefore perfectly
acquainted with all the laas, it would be abfird for
him to call for new Information, to govern his dif-
creilion, and that whether he would order commit
nent or not WIS Il matter merely of diferetion. OF
this opinion was the Judge, and the commitment was
ordered.
Application was then made for habeas corpus
which the Judge allowed, and the MARTIAL immediate
y made return thereto, eating the commitment, &C.
Upon this the council for Mr.. .. moved for his diC
charge becauie it did not appear upon the face the
return that he was confined upon charge Of having
committed any crime, but his commitment could be
conudered in no other light than as general 7varyars
which was odious to the law and dangerous to the c
tizen that the court had power to remand him to
PFiion unieis appeared that he charged with
Na. 4
what the prlioncr confined for and that was caue
enough to remand him, which he did that liberty
was TO be iurc, lweet, but the court woud fit but
lev days, and an imprisonment for that time woud he
no great hardhip.
Application then made to admit Mr.. o. to bail.
to which the Judge coniented, if bail was given for
appearances, &c. in 10000 dolls. The fun was OBJ
jeded to e1cefiive, but being infed on, bail was
given.
Another application was then made to the cour, BY
Mr.. o's council, the arguments on which was poa-
Poned to this day.
