dressed note to the Minister for for, eign Affairs, to know f the Government sanctioned the course pursued bjj ibj ' CT net. The Minister returned such ap answer as was an obvious recognition ol the rightof Ycrnet, as agent of the Go vernment, 10 capture American vessels engagedin these fisheries. Against tbis right, Mr. Sacum protested in tie name ofthc Governmental the United States. The Minister replied, that, as he was ohy d C5usnl, he had no right 10 pro- test. The remainder of the correspon- aence tnras mainly on the right of Mr. Slacum to protest, 'ssomeWhat warm on both sides," says the writer, sand not very edifying to eiiher.n Capt. Duncan, wio was then at Buenos Ayres, if' tic sioop Of war !.e8ington, imnledi-| ately sailed for the Islands, sslo protect the citizens and eommcrce.ofthe United States. The result of this expeditiorg is well known. When the news Yeacf5 cd Buenos Avres that the Colony had been broken np, and that several of the colonsts were in irons as pirates, the exa citement among Inc natives was intense ! and NIT. Slaeam was uncerenoniously excluded from all communication with the Government. While the press and people were violent in their expressions against Capt, Duncan and ay:r. siacum. tlie writer testiiies that the most respect iul language Was uniformly employed towards the Government of the United States. Atthis crisis, Com. Rodgers ar rived i9 the Warren, and on learning how affairs stood, he immediately de- lycred up the prisoners taken by Capt. Duncan, to the Government, as tue re- sponsible party. This was his only pub lie act, as he was suddenly cut of in bis useful career, by death. Soon af.er, Mr. Baylies arrived in the Peacoclx.-- For some reason or other the salute to the Fort, demanded by etiquette. was omitted by the Peacock. Mir. Baylies remained several days on board, during which time he had frequent interviews with Mr. Siaeum, against whom there existed at Buenos Ayrcs q very strong pfejudice. VbenMr. Baylies did land. he became Mr. Slaeum's guest. and it seems put himself almost entirely under his guidance. Nc give the conclusion ih the words of the writer, promising that, from the message of the President to the House, in reply to Call for the correspondence relative 10 this affair. if appears 1he bnenos Ayrean Govern mear-are about 10 send q special Minis fer to.tlle United States, for ihe purpose ol adjusting tle question.

Knowing this, as every Ane- flcan resident Iiere did. 1t was win deep and unanimous regret we saw Mr. Bay lies identify himself and his cause so completely and gratuitously with the nnpopularity of the Ex.ConsuI, before he even commenced his gotiations.-- The result has corresponded with the anllcipations then excited. After near three months fruitless correspondence, ahe subject was brought 10 a smost lame and lmpotent conclusion," by taking his passports and leaving every thing which relates to American interests iicfe, in amuch worse state than he found 1t.
 am far from disposed to justify or palilate the obstinacy and incivility manifested in the latter stages of the nc- gotiatlonb by this Government. Though II vas greatly aggravated, and in part at least originated by the course allud- ca to, 1t can be justified by noihirg.- Among gthecircumstances which exceed lngly Irrltated this people and excited the disapProhation of the Americans, was one growing out of what is called san allair of honor.''
