some oil its incidents in another light -
These men were arrested and imprisoned by
John Hunter, the sheriff yes by the She
rif--a high executive officer of the
state OF Maryland, imprisoned SEVEN
men, in obedience to the note of an illiterate
British consul, and, it is said. received pay

what may we not expect, or rather, what
have we not 20 dread from the gold and cum

from LfUcr7oot received in his Gig, dated
June I'm, 1909:
GENT. To our friends i'm America. we
have already given an opinion respecting the
differences which so long and 50 unhappily
subsist---and We ventured to request that
they would act with full confidence upon that
opinion. low far occurrences have borne us
out IN our anticipations, little doubt can now
exist-----but new difficulties have arisen, &
our ministers have certainly assumed a tone
which does not appear very conciliatory---
Many are decidedly of opinion. that war will
be among the first consequences which will
result from this new aud extraordinary poll
cy on the part of the British government. AS
q measure of diplomacy there is assuredly
something perfectly unique in it but whist
we can readily believe that Mr. Erskine tlu.
ring the negotiation, may have mistaken
broad for AN underlined basis or, commands
and instructions OF ageneral nature for those
OF an unlimited characters we are decided
iy OF opinion that this conduct II as not be ell
IN direct OffoSiEon to the orders received by
him. That he would knowingly exceed his
instructions, is with difficulty to be credited.
Bu1 the superstition that he would act in an
qnahfed hostility to them, is not to be en-
dured.
Upon this subject our ministers, to say tie
best of them. have been very equivocal We,
are strongly of opinion that the dispute must
be shortly settled and we think that those
will act wisely, who act upon this expecta-
ton.
MIR. Canning would not, at least we are
decidedly of opinion, that he would not in.
troauce his ten.Hcrary Bill unless he felt
a. conviction that continuance of its provi-
slcns would be effected in the interval, by a
settlement of the whole affair.
AT intervals, of about a month, we shall
wait Upon you with a printed report of the
changes and events which appear during the
period OF publication and, in the interim.
we shall advise you of the variations, and
prospects, that take place in this market, at
the time of their occurrence, by such oppor-
tunities as may offer.
+. >. Under date Of the 23d January, it
appears that Mr.. Canning gave instructions
to MIR. Erskine. Mr.. Oakley did not sail nm.
til the LIST March or shereabouts, but of what
nature the orders, subsequent to the 23d Ia
nuary were, we are left TO conjecture We
nave no doubt that Mr.. Ell skine has received
IN substance, though not in firm, nearly eve
ry thing hat WAS required and we believe
that Mr.. jackson, on leaving this country,
declared his perfect conviction of a full and
a friendly arrangement.
The Secretary of War has visited the for
tresses in this harbor, and is now we under
stand, taking tour to the eastward for the
purpose oil inspecting the posts and garrisoas.
