whirlpool Of strife for it is impossible that
'outraees sosglaring as are those continual

destruction OF the Caroline, alone, was
sufficient to have endangered the tranquil

mutual forbearance could have subdued
tho fearful storm which gathered bene ath
the smoke of'the Sir Robert Peel: but we
know not whether any thing but the inter-
mosition Of Divine Providence, can keep
the sword sbeathed, now that another out
rage has been perpetrated by indiscreet-

are substantially as follows
The Telegraph left Oswego at o'clock
on Saturday evening touched at Prescott
as usual-and reached Brookylle about 8.
Here she landed at the lower dock-took
on board and left number Of passengers
received the visit and insult of an I'M
armed mob, who ransacked the cabins, and
otherwise evinced turbulent disposition
and was moving past the upper wharf,
when she was hailed, and commanded to
"come to" The captain, supposing there
were passengers in waiting, stopped the
engine, and dropped down to within TWEEN
ty feet of,he dock, but. apprehensive that
all was not right, he told the passengers to
come on board in the small boat. But this
would not satisfy the crowd, who insisted
upon the boats coming up to the dock.
After few words had passed, the cap
tain peremptorily refused to land, set the
engine in motion and moved off. lmme-
diately upon this, and while the boat WIS

ty muskets were fired, and FOUR OF
THE BALLS ENTERED THE La
DIES CABIN! One passed within few
inches of the chambermaid, and two struck
very near the captain.
1t Is said that the men who fired the
guns were the guard called out by the pub
lie authorities! If so, the outrage Is ten
fold more aggravated, and may lead to
ten fold more serious consequences! 1.-THE
perpetrators are demanded by our govern
ment, they will not, of course, be delivered
up In that case our government Cannot,
consistently with its dignity, give up the
wretches who destroyed the Sir Robert
Peel and thus collision may be made in
eyitable.
But we hope that they were not in the
service ofthe government; or ifthey were,
that they did not act in accordance with
the demand of an officer.
The fact, however, that she was fired
into, the lives of those on board endanger-
ed, and an insult offered to the American
Flag, is enough to alarm every one for the
consequences. Something efficient must
be done to prevent REPETITION ofthese out
RACES, or land it is folly to disguise it) war

20 The following is an extract from the
Montreal Courier, relating to the outrage
committed on the steamboat Rober. Peel
in the American waters:
"The pirates who have destroyed the Sir
Robert Peel, must meet their deserts, as
warning to their fellows that there is gov
ernment in the States, and that the govern
ment knows the meaning of the word hon.
esty. And last and least, the full value Of
the vessel destroyed must be made good by
the country in whose waters, and by the
aid of whose citizens, directly or indirectly
given, the piracy was committed. g.
If these are done, the excitement caused
by past injuries received, may subside with
the cessation of the injuries themselves, as
it will necessarily follow on the adoption OF
such course. Ifthese things be not done,
the "patriots'' and their active vagabond
associates win go on to yet greater outra.
ges. Reprisals must follow; and no diplo-
macy can then avert wartime will soon
show to which result we are to look for
ward. Prepared as Great Britain is, she
lras no occasion now TO fear or avoid war,
only in so far as its occurrence must prove
a calamity to the world. ;"

New SPECIE CIRCULAR. The Presi-
dent it seems accedes to the repeal of the
old circular, and forthwith issues new
one declaring that no specie notes can be
received Of a less denomination than twen-
ty dollars, or the note of any bank that has
within the last two years issued any bill
of a less denomination than five dollars;
and that note of any bank whatever shall
be received, that is not payable on demand
in specie at the place where issued, or that
not worth specie at the place where it is Of
fered. IA 81
The operation of this new order will be
troublesome in some of the States where
Banks are on the eve of resuming specie
payments. In most of the States nearly
all the banks have been guilty Of issuing
bills OF less denomination than FIVE dol
lars, the notes of which banks cannot now
be taken in payment by the government re-
ceiyers, even if they pay every demand
upon them in gold or silver. Trauelier.
