with our vessels on the coast of Africa is no
new thing; and what has the administration
done about hatl Nothing whatever! 1t was
not even alluded to in the Presidents message
nor have any of these subjects been deemed of
sufficient importance to eXtort from the President
any communication 10 Congress! Two years
ago Congress made an appropriation to send a
special minister to England to settle the boun-
Diary difficulty but Mr. Van Buren, omitted to
appoint one. Ten millions was placed at the
discretion ofthe President TO prevent aggressie,
in Maine but the President needed it not, aid
the British proceeded to erect barracks and
station their troops upon the disputed territory
And of SO little consequence was all this regard
cd, that it hardly received passing notice in
the annual message. But nor, after sleeping
over these outrages for years--just as the adj
ministraton is retiring in disgrace, these griev-
ances are punched together aud put forth in an
inilamatory report, amounting, in effect to little
less than an embryo proposition for mar -
The object cannot be mistaken. 1t is to preiu-
dice the adjustment of these questions by the
new administration. Can any thing appear
more contemplate
But as we before remarked, the facts set forth
in the report are substantially correct. Serious
difficulties exist, which it will require the ut.
most prudence and firmness on the part of our
government to adjust satisfactorily. The ques-
tons must and will be promptly met by the new
administration, and it is but just that they should
have the opportunity to adjust them without q
resort to arms. This done, the nation will be
prepared, if need be for the last resort and il
that event, we shall have but one party.
We object, however, to this mbecie, COW
ardly and corrupt administration, covering the
retreat from power by so dishonest an attemp
to enbarrass the adjustment of important ques
tons, which they had neither the patriotism
ability, nor moral courage TO meet like men.

SERIOUS AccInEST.-Wo are sorry to learn that
the coachman Of the Hon. John Qnincy Adams, "a
very valuable domestc) was very seriously injured
yesterday at the Capitol Yard fronting the eastern
portiCo. II appears that, Just after Mr. Adams had
stepped out oihs carriage and gone up the steps of the
eastern 'front.' the horses took fright at the firing OF
Colts rifle, which being tried in the presence of
number of gentlemen in the grounds opposite the east
ern porco. The coachman and iootman were both
thrown from their seats on the carriage, and the for
mer was damned between the carriage wheel and one
of the posts in the yard, that his side, back and
lons were sorey bruised and injured. Formore than
two hours after the accident the poor mans situation
was thought by the attending physician to be very
critical but late last night the sufferer recovered
much as to afford reasonable hope of his recovery
The footman was also considerably injured. Nat

Amongst the items which enter into the ac-

MIR. PICKENS' REPORT.

The committee on Foreign Affairs, to whom
was referred the correspondence between Mr.
Fox and Mr.. Forsyth in reference to the arrest
of Mcleod, have made this reference the occa.
sion for detailed report upon the general as
pect of our relations with Great Britain. This
report, IT cannot be denied, is very warlike and
were we seeking reasons to justify an imme-
date declaration of war, this report would furnish
them, and set forth in way too, to "stir mems
blood to muliny and rage" The facts, we be.
leve are substantially true, as set forth; nor is
this all they have been equally true for long
period. These aggressons upon our northeast

CANADIAN MILITARY FoRcr.-There arc
10000 regulars in the two provinces. In
addition, each regiment of militia is required

The language usedis pretty strong-and is of a nature
calculated aay the excitement on the frontiers:
"The revolutionary cut hroats in the United States
have recently shown themselves in their proper char
actcrs. Mr.. Mcleod, who was arrested and confined
IN Lockport for alleged participation III the burning OF
the steamer Caroline Schlosscr having been admit
ted TO bail by the legal authorities of the State of New
York, in the Of live thousand dollars the Sever
egns of Iockport determined that the omnpotcnce OF
the law should be subject to them. With drums and
military cnsigns there umultuous gathering Ia
prevent Mr. Mel Leeds gaining his liberty the miserable
Judge who had sanctioned the bail, was forced to
leave his bed and give an account OF his conduct to
the omnpouent rabbc. Such behavior as this 10 Brit
sh subjects is really carrying the Joke too far and
Americans may yet find that rbearnncc has its proper
limit, irIen they their frontier cities in ashes as
hey most ossurediy lrW do THey continue their nlda
| career. The American government must, Ike every
other, be amen1Je to the law of Nations and the time
! is now about gone by when the dsrepuable and dis
honest plea will be recognized that the general gov
