AUTHENTIC.

The following extracts from q letter
written by gentleman of high station and
authority in Halifax, dated July 25, 1907, to
an English gentleman in Boston, will be tosad
/ to merit serious attentions.
6 Icannot avoid taking the earliest oppor-
tanity OF expressing to you my extreme sa-
tisfaction at the temperate and dispassionate
manner in which the public at Boston seem
inclined to discuss the late unfortunate trans.
action which took place off the Capes CT Vir-
ginia, between his maiesty's ship Leopard,
and the United States frigate the Chesapeake !:
as am perfectly convinced when every cir
cumstance Genes to be investigated, those
heart-bu nings and aninositles which the enc
mics to both countries are endeayor;ng to TO-
raent, will be done away. can pnly OK
press my wish, that their brethren to the
sorthwald had acted as wisely and as cauti-
ously as the meeting at Boston ;-Great-B ri-
tain would then have 10 just cause of conn
plant, and those aggressions which she can
not tanlely overlook, Hlouid not have happen
cd.
6 It is my .nost earnest desirctto prove TO
America how much mistaken those persons
are, who thinil it is not the inclination as we'll
as the interest of my country to remain at
peace with her. # it were not, we should be
fully justified, with the power We possess, to
retaliate most completely those injuries and
insults whichfthe meetings at Norfolk have,
thought proper. without tic authority of their
government to heap upon his maIesty's ships,
and in violation Of the proclamation issued by
FIhe President of the United States. i
{ 6 j now understand, from the authority Of
that proclamation of the presidents that the
desersers which were so frequently demand
ed, and Sc otter refused, ,Vsra- supposed to be
natives of the United Statss. JUSTICE to our
country therefore requires us to endeceiye
the public as. well as, the president who has
been most sharnefglly abused and lnis!ed by
whoever dared to propa gate such a falsehood.
Ii will, however he found, that, of those
men, who were taken oat CT the Chesapeake,
notone is an American, and that one has re-
ccived very large additional bounfes from this
very province, as an English seaman; that
the gunner Of his majesty's ship Chichester,
who acted as an officer either i'll that capacity
or some other on board the Chesapeake, who
was inyeigled by promises to desert his coun-
try and his soyereign's colofs, and who was
killed, was an Englishman; and two more
seanaen who were likewise killed, were ki1-

Mr.. HledlQm continued his argument, which
was not finished yesterday, and concluded a.
bout twelve O'Clock the session OF the court
having commenced at ten.
The points of law contended FOR by him, in
the course Of his long and interesting discourse
wete, generally, that treason in leyying. war
against the United States cannot be commit
tedasithout the employment at actual force !;
that, under The; definition Of treason in the
constitution of the United States, accessories
s{who would be so deeouinsted In cases Of fs-
lonyl are not to be considered as hriaci1aals in
cases Of tree$on; that TO person Can be char
ged with treason in leyying war against the
United States, upon the ground of his ceurl-
selling Or procuring tie overt act Of treason,
being accessory thereto, either before, or af-
ter the fact; and that a person accused of ac-
cessoriai or derivatiye treason cannot be tried
and convicted without producing record Of
the conviction Of the principal agent in the q
vert act.
He also entered into an examination Of the
evidence, SO far as il had been introduced !;
and enceav orcd to shew that no act Of levying
war against Che United States was proved to
have been committed at B1anaerAasSss's ISL
and.
The counsel For the United States objected
70 his arguing on this part of the enquiry,
since tie jury alone, and not The court, We're
to Judge of the weight Of the evidence; but
the court declared that, whether the argument
was correct Or incorrect, they were compelled
By their duty to hear it.
After Mr.. WIckhaa, had finished, two wit
nesses were introduced or the part Of the u.
nited States, iisrscl MilIerand Purley Howe,
for tie purpose of completing the evidence
relative to the assemblage o&snen on Banner
shasset's island.
Mr.. Rpndol1sa then continued the debate on
the part of Col Burr, until nearly o'clock.
Mr.. Hay then moved the court to allow the
coanset for the Unitcd States, time until Mon
day next, to enable them to make the neces-
sary preparations to answer the great variety
OF arguments whichqhad been addueed.
On this motion a desaltory conversation
took place. in which number OF curious and
some ludicrous remarks were nade.--The
court at length decided in favor Of the motion.
The argument, therefore, Will be resumed on
Monday. The court is to sit again on Sat-
urday at twelve O'CLOCK, for the puypcss Of
arraigning Mr.. Blanaerhasset.
