BRITISH PRESUMPTION.

The rights of this country are again in
fringed-At this m2Dient and on those
waters, where there could be no real pre-
tence of wrong-on those waters so lately
frightened witt. the glories of Perry, is
this new outrage committed.
They dare to search our vessels on Lake
Fri, for deserters What right have they
to do it ?-rhere is no treaty which per-
mits them-would they permit us the re-
ciprocal right of searching their vessels for
our own slescvtevs No--they would de-
clare war first.
Well then-if not from treaty. is it from
the law of nations l-In war, it gives them
authority to search our ships for contra
band goods, &c. But, they are not now
at war-there is no blockated port, no
contraband, no enemy's goods.-Even in
the famous Declaration OF the Prince Re-
gent, he did not pretend he had a right to
go on board to search for his subjects-but.
ii in looking for contraband goods, he should
chance to light upon his seamen. he might
then take them.-Thcy now so, then, fur
thcr in q time Of peace, than he assumed
to go 10 the heat of war. They come a.
board our ships while there can be no con-
traband. and of course no pretence to
search forit.
The injury which is done US, IS as flag
rant as it is gross.-The demand for re-
paration, should be prompt, energetic and
decisive.

" arrived here last evening, and, ac--
cording to promise, hasten to give you the
news of the Carthagenian expedition, as
received by vessel from Curacao, that
came into port yesterday. The feet, il
appears, proceeded to the Island of Mar
garitta, which they took with but little
trouble, where they hung and shot seven
or eight hundred Royaiists; here they took
IS vessels of war, and $500, 900 dollars IL
cash. With this reinforcement they went
to Cumana, which, together with SIX or
eight other towns on the Milne, Is in their
possession--and the last news states, that
they were marching triumphaBtly towards
Caracas, which no doubt IS in their hands
before this time. The Royalist general
Iorillo, has made several attempts TO pc
netrate to Santa Re, but has been as often
defeated he is now coopcd Up ia Cartha-
