We received this morning from Ii.
verpool, a copy Of the following letter
tron Mr.. Beckett, one of The under Sc
cretaries of state for the home depart.
Rent, ard it has our warmest approba.
ton. is, as our readers will see, an
answer to an application to receive on
board oil American cartel all Americans
who may have regular passports, and all
British subjects who may have business
in America. The application was very
properly rejected,-lst, As it relates to
American citizens, until some satisfac.
tory explanation has been given of the
detention OF British subjects, because
they may be exposed to similar treatment
on their arrival in America
The last accounts from America in.
formed US of several British merchants
having been sent from the coast to the
interior. All the British merchants at
Baltimore are understood to have been
sent above 100 miles up the country
What satisfactory explanation can be
given for this violation OF the law of ma
tons, we are at a loss to conjecture.
Upon every principle ofjustice we might
have Immediately retaliated, by sending
the American merchants resident in tho
capital and in our outpns,s, into the in
terior-and we trust this will be done, If
The next arrival from America do not
bring our government an account Of tho
British subjects having been released,
ard an ample apology for their having
been detained.
