spa,che: from Mr. Fox by the Britannia steamer, and thai
those dispatches leave doubt OF amcabe ana inne
date settlement between the United States and GrcaiBr
tian as far as regards the question of Mcleod Mr. Fox
had received a communication 10 that effect from the
American government, couched IN the most cosciateIy

The Liverpool Mail of April ls contains the following
speculative remarks respecting their connection with lis and
China

from Mr. sFox the British Minister resident al Washington
ntimatng that his demand for the release Of Mr. Mcleod
has been received most conclaory spirit by the ne"
President and the American Cabinet and that the strongest
assurances have been given him that the unfortunate and
much injured gentleman will be safely restored 10 Ills
friends and ample compensation made him Tor the insult
he has sustained and The sufierngs he has endured.

land for the past and what indemnity given for the tu
re in matter deeply affecting the hsnor OF this coun
try and the laws of civilized nations We cannot see now
the release of Mr. Mcleod alters the complex nature OF tie
question at issue If the State of New York is permitted
to claim the right OF arrestng, mprisonng and trying for
his life every Canadian subject OF her Majesty who, IN the
discharge of his duty may fire mnsket at an American
citizen acting practically, assisting pirates the Ines
