ments, out cannot perceive that the charge OF
treason or espionage has been made good a.
galnst Arbuthnot, nor any crime worthy Of

pie OF the laws of nations, that any individual
OF a nation making war against the citizens OF
another nation, they being at peace, forieits
his allegiance and becomes an outlaw and pi-
rate"-and, upon lhls assumption, General
Jackson sets aside the sentence of Court
Martial (Which was corporal punishment and
Imprisonment and ordered, that the prisoner
should suffer death.--This is by many consid-
cred a stretch Of power Unprecedented in our
country-Besides which, were not all the
foreigners who took part with America be-
lore their countries declared against England,
on this assumption, outlaws and pirates, anu
worthy Of death if made prisoners. Further,
what will be the effect of this doctrine and
execution, on the Americans who have taken
a part in favor of the Spanish patriots, and
are prisoners to Spain 1t is expected that
this event will arrest the serious attention of
Congress, and we see, that Mr.. LAcocK, of

Ity to send Tor persons and papers.
