DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

The undersigned Secretary of State Of
the United States, has the honor to inform
Mr.. Fox, envoy extraordinary and minis
ter plenipotentiary of her Britannia Ma
jesty, that his note of the 18th of March
was received and laid before the Pres-
dent.
Circumstances well known to Mr.. Fox
have necessarily delayed, for some days,
the consideration of that note.
The undersigned has the honor now to
say, that it has been fully considered, and
that he has been directed by the President
to address to Mr.. Fox the following re-
ply.
Mr.. Fox informs the Government of the
United States, that he is instructed to make
known to it, that the Government of her
Majesty entirely approve the course pur-
sued by him, in his correspondence with
Mr.. Forsyth, in December last, and the
language adopted by him on that occasion;
and that that Government have instructed
him "again to demand from the Govern
ment of the United States, formally, in
the name of the British Government, the
immediate release of Mr.. Alexander Nc
Leod;" that "the grounds upon which the
British Government make this demand
upon the Government of the United States,
are these: that the transaction on account
of which Mr.. Mcleod has been arrested
and is to be put upon his trial, was trans
action of public character, planned and
executed by persons duly empowered by
her Majesty's colonial authorities to take
any steps and to do any acts which might
be necessary for the defence of her Majes-
TVS subjects; and that consequently those
subjects of her Majesty who engaged in
that transaction, were performing an act

FORTY YEARS AGO.

Forty years ago, literature meant learning
and was supported by common sense. Re
fined nonsense had no advocates, and wa:
pretty generally kicked out Of doors
Forty years ago, there were but few
merchants in the country, few insolvent debt.
ors-and they rarely imprisoned for debt.
Forty years ago, young ladies of the first
responsibility learned music,-but it was the
humming of the spinning wheel. and learned
the necessary steps Of dancing, in following
it. Their forte piano was a loom, their par
asol a broom, and novels the Bible.
Forty years ago, the young gentlemen hoed
corn, chopped wood at the door. and wen.
to school in the winter to learn reading,
writing, and arithmetic.
Forty years ago, there was no such thing
as balls in summer, and but few in the WIN
ter. except % balls.
Forty years ago if a mechanic proposed
to do your work, you might depend on his
work; it would be done.
Forty years ago, when Il mechanic finish
ed his word, he was paid for it.
Forty years ago. printers were paid, and
therefore enabled them to pay their debts
