Auack upon the L. S. SCH. he5ran6.
Speaking of the above transaction, the New
Orleans papers say" 1t is an outrage which
leaves no alternative between immediate and
amply redress, or disgrace.
"It was announced sometime since that
small squadron wa. fitting ou, at Havana, to
60 against the Carthagenian privatcers cruz.
ing off that port and in the Sals. The cap
tain general of Cuba, being furnished with the
means by the merchants Of Havana, had pur-
chased for that object, three former American
privateers, oamely---the ship young Wasp, OF
500 tons, and pierced for % guns--thc brig
Reindeer, of 3s5 tons, and pierced for 20 guns
land the schr. Chasseur, 275 tons, and lS
ports--all remarkable fine fast-sailing vessels.
These were to be joined by an old tlshicned
Spanish sloop of war and brig then in port,
pnd are thought TO have sailed abou, the mid
Gle of Aug.
"lt is probable this is the squadron tha,
has SO grossly outraged the nation, by firing
bn its flag, aud shedding the blood of our gal
ant seaman in our waters. This we trust
will be the last on the long list Of our griev-
lnccs from the miserable bigots who govern
6paio-Thcir shamful conduct at Valparaiso,
I Fayal, at the two Carthage0as, at CadiZ,
nd many other places, and on numerous oc-
asions, viii ere long receive the chaatisc-
nent it so justly merits, from our brave sail
re- and soldiers.--SDall as is the y. States
quadron now On this station, we think that,
ad they orders, they would soon give good
ccount Of the Dons. What sensation this
utrage may excite at Washington City, we
now not, but are confident that the public
oice will loudly demand, atonement for the
ast, and security for the future--or war I"
We have no: yet (says the National Intel
gencer) Sufficient information from New
rleans to enable us to Judge of the circum-
ances of aggravation or mitigation, attend
q the late attack by Spanish force against
American vessel. BY these circumstan-
,s its character must be determined to be
emeditated or accidental The aggression
not to be considered the act of the Spanish
tion, unless that government chuse 10 sus-
in it. As in the case of the Chesapeake,
ough at the most not so hagrant as that,
disnvowal Of the act by the Spanish gov
nnent, and proper reparation, will atone for
injury, which, if unredressed, has always
|en considered as righteous cause for war.
