remarks OF the Mexican commissioners 0

justice Of all claims that are based on

knowledge the validity of none except those
based on contracts with the Mexican 90

might prove the same facts, and insist on
the same defence or exemption on his
trial.
All these are legal modes of proceed
ing, well known TO the laws and practice
of both countries But the undersigned
does not suppose that, if such case were
to arise in England, the power Of the Ex-
ecutve Government could be excited in
any more direct manner. Even in the
case of Ambassadors and other public
Ministers, whose right to exemption from
arrest is personal, requiring no fact to be
ascertained but the mere fact of diplomat
ic character, and to arrest whom is some
times made highly penal offence, if the
arrest be actually made, it must be dis
charged by application to the courts of
law.
1t is understood that Alexander Nc
Leod is holden as well as civil as on Grim
inal process for acts alleged to have been
done by him in the attack on the " Caro-
line" and his defence or ground of ac-
quittal must be the same in both cases.
And this strongly illustrates, as the under
signed conceives, the proprlety of the fore
going observations since it is quite clear
that the Executive Government cannot
interfere to arrest civil suit between pri-
yatc parties in any stage of its progress,
but that such suit must 90 on to its regu-
lar judicial termination. If, therefore,
any course different from such as have
been now mentioned was in contempla-
ton Of her ajesty's Government, some
thing would seem to have been expected
from the Government of the United States
as little comfortable to the laws and usa-
ges of the English Government as to those
of the United States, and to which this
Government cannot accede.
The Government Of the United States,
therefore, acting upon the presumption
which is already adopted, that nothing
extraordinary or unusual was expected or
requested Of it, decided, on the reception
of MIR FOX's note, to take such measures
as the occasion and its own duty appeared
to require.
In his note to Mr. Fox Of the 2cth of
December last, Mr. Forsyth, the Secretary
of State of the United States observes.
that " If the destruction of the Caroline
was public act of persons in Her Maes-
ty's service, obeying the order of their SUI
perior authorities, this fact has not been
before communicated to the Government
of the United States by person author
lied to make the admission and it will
be for the court which has taken cogni-
zance Of the offence with which Mr. Nc
Leod is charged to decide upon its valid
ity when legally established before it :"
and adds, "The President deems this to
be proper occasion to remind the Gov
eminent Of Her Britannia Majesty that
the case Of the caroline has been long
since brought to the attention of her Ma
jesty's principal Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, who, up to this day, has
not communicated its decision thereupon.
1t is hoped that the Government Of her
Majesty will perceive the importance Of
no longer leaving the Government of the
United States uniformed of its views and
intentions upon subject which has natu.
rally produced much evaporation, and
which has led to such grave consequent
ces."
