contingency OF any future allusion TO the Of the
Caroline Certainly nothing could be a more com.
plee Abandonment of claim 10 redress. The first
paragraph goes further than TO "trgst that the
grounds may be presented which 'JustJy'-a strange
word in such case-the local authorities In attack
ing and destroying this vessel and the second bures
il all up, by deerring it to the general and peaceful
settlement of all other questions and differences be-
tween the two countries. Certainly this is farewell
salutation to the whole affair 1t is the parting word
and is evidently so understood BY the British Ministry
They have taken notice Of this beautiful letter. they
have returned 10 il, nor acknowledged
its receipt The Ministry, the Parliament, and the
press in England profess themselves satisfied. They
speak CT the affair; and the miserable Caro-
line, plungng in flames the frghtu cataract, the
living and the dead on board is treated as gone by
procession, which has lost It's interest forever.
It's in vain for gentlemen TO point TO the paragraph
powerfully drawn, which pants the destruction Of
this vessel, and the slaughter Of The innocent well
as the guilty asleep board of her. That paragraph
agaravacs the dement, Of the letter. for, after we'll
showing the enormty of the wrong, and our just title
redress, il abandons the without requiring the
slightest atonement.
But gentlemen point TO phrase in the letter, and
quote IT with triumph, showing courage and fight

on the minds of the English or their Minister. Be

little efirct which it had upon the mind of The Minis
