Que stons and differences between the two
countries, Certainly this is farewell salu-
ton TO the whole affair. II is the parting word
and il evidently au understood by the. British
Ministry. They have taken notice of this
beautiful letter. they have returned no answer
to il, nor even acknowledged lis receipt. The
Ministry, the Parliament, and the press in
England, profess themselves satisfied. They
cease 10 speak of the affair; and the miserable
Caroline, plunging in flames over the fright
fuI cataract, the living and the dead on board,
is treated as gone-by procession which has
lost liz interest forever.
II is in vain for gentlemen 10 point to the
paragraph, go powerfully drawn, which paints
the destruction of this vessel, and the slaugter
of the innocent as we'll as the guilty asleep on
board Of her. That paragraph aggravates The
demerit of The letter; for after so we'll showing
the enormity Of tha wrong, an d our just title

curing the slightestest redress!
But gentlemen point to phrase in the let

courage and fight IN the Secretary.
point 10 the phrase, Bloody and eraSpsrGted
war,' and consider this pharse as cure 3or
every defect. But how did Mr.. Fox consid-
it2 as thing to quicken him, or the British
Government as an inducemenL or stimulus 10

make any impression on the minds ofihe En-
plsh or their minister. Besides the capital
defect of not stating on what fourth day Of jus

totally defective 10 stateing The contingency
on which it was 10 happen. It's not said that
if you do not make redress for tho outrage
you have assumed-il we do not get satisfaction
for this wrong ifyou ever do SO again
then and in that case this war Of blood and
rage will break out. Nothing Of this, nor any
thing pointed or tangible, is said in the letter
but only vague intiniation that such occuT-
rencess may lead to this war. The little ef-
feet which it had upon the mind ofthe minister
and his Government, is shown by the silent
contempt with which they have trea ted it.
This famous letter was written on the 24th
day of April; this is June, and to this day
no answer has been given 10 it! lis receipt
has moi even been acknowledged!
UnfortiOnaie as this boosted letter is in so
many respects, it has further sin to answer
for, and that in this place, or order-is COLO
calion-in the printed document which S laid
before US, and in its assumption 10 enclose the
instructions to Mr.. Fox, which had been en-
closed 10 him forty days before. The letter is
printed before tbs 'instructons,' though written
forty days after them, and purpotts to 'enclOse
what had been 30 long before delivered. 10
be sure all the papers are correctly dated; and
the close observer may perceive the order they
ought 10 take, and that, in fact, they come
wrong end foremost. There may be some
scent fiic contrivance-some stage trick IN this;
bul il is according TO the new tactca which
put the cart before the horse and repeaIs one
financial system before another is established.
