49,, The Morning Chronicle Of the 9th SAYS
Inc publication Of this report created consi.
oerabie uneaalness. IL this feeling, we con-
less, we do not altogether participate. The
very men who drew up this document---i, is
plain upon the tace Of Unjust have felt
they were puttng their names to case up
on which no nation would venture to enter
! upon. hostiiities. The language Of the re-
port is not ths language of men who either
were convinced that they had good cause.
or were determined to go to ex:rsmities in
bad one.

selves what chance exists of fair or lust

The Morning Herald says, "the financial

bered that the funds were on the rise, and

The Globe of the 9th says:-The arrival
OF the West Chester from New York, whence
she sailed on the 9Th February, brings GER
tain information that the Congress of the T.
nited States, by the large majority Of 100 a.
gainst 6S, had voted in favor Of the report on
the Mcleod affair, which was calculated 10
excite hostlites with England. The sub
ject being thus taken up by Congress, tho
government must Of course act in conformity
with the will ofthe majority, and therefore
the chance of seeing the acts Of the inferior
jurisdiction Of the State of New York over
ruled by the General Government no longer
exists. 1t makes the danger Of collision
more Imminent shan it was before. Our citi.
zens, viewing ii in this light, have shown a
much greater degree Of alarm regarding the
question this morning, than they did on the
receipt Of !hc previous communication; and
stocks fell or per cent immediately after
the opening of business.
