But surely little much PROOF o
pears seas present trusm until they have ennsI
themselves orequre II by showing that there some gouh0
10 assume that we are In error
With regard to the first par. of the paragraph ioe
can readily satisfy the Courier, though perhaps the
editors of the Journal cannot let the Courier read
vatte, chap 10 page 20S and chap H. Sec 2oS page
245. Let them also read Robnssns Admiralty Re-
ports VOL 3, page 278, and the 4th VOL OF Am Eloq
And if what he finds there does not satisfy hlm, we
will refer him further.
With regard to the las, part of the paragraph about
want of precedent will tell him that the writer
of this article assisted to raise by Commodore Dali
las order 100 seamen for the Constellation frigae,
in the spring of last year. which seamen went down
with that frigate, and the sloops Of war Concord,
Boston, St. Louis, and Lexington, to blockade Mex
co ,oith ishen acerc at peace for insults to our
flag, and injuries dene to our citizens
Does the " Courier" want any more precedents =
If SO, we stand prepared to give them. As to the
NEW code of International lao which the Courier,
and other badly conducted and interested journals
have tried to set up on this SUBJECT is thus well dls
posed of by the Gazette:
The code of national law set up fer this case hrs
New Orleans and since in This city, win hardly avail any Thing

There no declaration Of war when our fleet
| blockaded Mexico. The journals who now take the
| part of that Infamous and detestable nation, then
were silent. We obtained the redress for which the
blockade instituted, and there was end 10 the
matter at least for short time But we miscalculate
sadly if Mexico has not yet got to pay dearly for her
| injuries done to Americans.
| Convinced of the edium which the Mexican gov
ment has brought upon itself from all good people IN
all parts Of the world the Courier" tries TO sur
over it's misconduct in advocating their cause and
gives its we-paying protege back. handed wipe in

Oh! oh All an! Even the Courier does not

Whew! Call you that backing your friends7 And

Apan-the Courier only complains now be-

Are we fallen SO low that the paltry consideration Of
dollars and cents is to smother every thought of ma
tional honor and honestly Are the paluy interests
of such paltry scoundres the breed who threw
up the blue lights and fed the enemy in the last war
| with Engandf to blind our reason and pervert our

Of the man whilst living, and on his memory when
dead who could for moment advocate so Infamous

With regard to the particular affair, THAT Of the
LoRe that raised this great discussion and has set all
the editors of the onion by the ears we think hcrecan
be no doubt that Capt. Clarke grossly to blame
from first to last; and if we had ever entertained
doubt, the following excellent remarks from the
