The schooner Edward Graham, cap.
tain Bis.el, of and from Norfolk, has
been condemned. together with her car
go, by the Spanish government at Carac-
cas-. The protest and other papers, not
having been translated, we cannot state
upon what grounds. 1t is TO be hoped
that the President will despatch a force
to that quarter without loss of time, to
ascertain what is intended by these au-
in committing acts of robbery
upon the property of the citizens OF the
U. States. Oar opinion IS, that it IS to
be ascribed to corrupt agents, and not Q
the Spanish government, who, we should
think. can have no desire Tor war with
the United States, they Gas the Spanish
government was old upon another oeca-
stony know their own strength without
Boosting OF it, aud can respect that OF

Since the preceding article was pen
ned. person who understands the Spa
nish language, has read to US the con-
demnation in English. 'l'he first charge
is suspicion of being bound to port ip
possession of the insurgents, though she
was nearer royal port, and capt Bissei,
and his crew, deposed taat she vas
bound to that port. Another ground
was. that the vessel had no sea letter. al.
though the captain deposed, and the fact
is. sea letters are not now furnished to
American vessels. Yet the Spanish tri-
bunal saws, she ought to have had sea-
letter, thereby assuming the right OF
judging, with what documents American
vessels must be furnished.
With respect TO want OF a consuPs
certificate, it must be recoliected, that
notice upon hat subject was given only
a month since. and the Edward Graham
left this more than four months since
and the former effect of consular GER
t;6cate, was only to refuse admttance
Of entry; but here the vessel was CARR
ed in, nd condemned, because she had
not paper, which was only important as
to the right OF entry.-l6id.

irony and irr8sr BITE dumour, which never Jailed

tension of an article already too long for our limits.
On the Prince of Wales becoming unlimited Re-
gent, Mr. Sheridan retired from Parliament because
he could not compromise his public and political
character by supporting his Royal Highness's Min.
isters, and he did not feel disposed to oppose the
Prince Of Wales. But this ge nerosty and former
