In the country, to which he owed an avow-

Upon its being urged that he was an

ton there, which put his character of an
American beyond question, he disclaimed
the Character of an American citizen, and
asserted that he WAS entitled protection by
his birth under the British government long
before the independence of America; and
that although the British government might
connive at it, he maintained, that the prin-s
ciples of British law and policy never adj
mitted of expariation and could not re-
fuse TO recognize the right of any subject
born within the realm of its colonies.
He was nevertheless advised that he must
depart the realm.
