itoo:asoned serious alarm to many of the
passengers. During that tempest her
bow-sprit was arried.away; but the vessel
sustained no other injury. The passen-
gers al speak in the highest terms of the
GOODNESS and intrepidity displayed by Capt.
Judkins during the storm.
s$She has over one hundred passengers.
The news brought by the Columbia is
highly interesting and important; the in
taligence taken out by the Britannia res
pecting Mcleod had created'a great deal
of alarm amongst the friends of peace;

London Morning Herald, in an article on
the Mcleod case, and in which it reviews
