K No1sE.--There is a strong disposition
mai Tested by the English to get up a loud
talk a bout the Mcleod affair, provided Ameri-
cans { an be prevailed on to listen. The tory
press ,sserts that the trial Of this individual
by 4 COZ. TT OF oae of the States is an offence
against til G British crown equal in magnitude
to his ex, 'cution. The London Courier,
Peel'c orgar. =. speaks thus of the matter. We
fear the "0atr iotism and craftsmanship" Of the
English premi ", will avail him little in the
present instance"
ellis acquitt u, although tending to al
Law excitement a nd diminish the chances
Of an immediate , upturc, will be far from
offering > solution { t the questions at issue
between the two CO, mtrles, or from recon-
Cling Great Britain . . the outrage offered
to her honor and digni Y; thai the British
Government cannot a. low the affair to
pass off with McLeod's Il lal and discharge,
appears perfectly plain; / ut the mode OF
repairing the mischief CO. nmltted under
Lord Palmerston's guidance. and of reco-
vcring from the false and de graded posi-
ton into which either his ina terence or
pu>iian;mity had involved tht' Govern
ment, is not SO pIain-indeed, it IS so be-
set with difficulties and entanglem>'nfs as,
We fear, to deny the utmost efforts OF his
successor wholly to wipe away the stain
which an acquicscence in McLeod's i ing
and weary imprisonment has fixed up"n
a., -o,. ,h,r,.tar, th,t ororI- fbir,-
which patriotism and craftsmanship of the
highest order can combinedly achieve will
be effected towards indicating the honor
Of England, upholding the dignity Of the
British Crown, and eXactlng Il full mea-
sure of satisfaction and recompemce both
for the individual sufferer and the nation,
we unfeignedly believe; but that the case
had been allowed by the late government
TO arrive at that pitch of inveteracy, in
which the cure becomes worse than the
disease, is, we regret to say, but too true"
