Questions may lie revived, lnd be convert
ed into q cuSuS bpHi between the two
governments The attacks upon, and
destruction of the Caroline by the British
within the American territory, still re-
mains to be decided upon the principles
of international law.
While MoLcod's trial was still pend
ing, TIA niain question was narrowed; H.
in fact, merged i'll che proceedings against
the individual, in whose fate the ques-
ton Of peace or war was suspended. Sic-
Leod's acQultal has restored the original
dispute to It's former position. America
has demanded satisfaction Tor what she
alleres to be violation OF the law of ma
tions-England justies the act Of her
subjects, of which America complains,
upon the ground that the subjects OF A
merica. in defiance of their own govern
ment, were engaged in acts of open hos
tility against England, and were aiding,
assisting and combining with certain sub
ects of England who had revoled from
their allegiancc, and who were seeking to
effect separation of one Of the DEEPEN
denotes of the British Crown; and tina.
the Caroline was vassel thus employed
in aiding and assisting these rebels, and
was actually laden with provisions, arms,
and ammunition for the use of the Canadi-
an rebels, at the time she was so attacked
and destroyed.
As regards the other part of the case.
namely, that which involves the seizure,
detention, and trial of Mcleod, after the
British government had adopted the res
possibility of the matter, for an alleged
part in which, he was unprecedented, and
his detention after his Liberation was de-
manded, we unprecedented the American
government will be disposed to award re-
paraion to the individual, and satisfaction
to his government. There has been no
ndisposition on the part of the American
authorities to admit the principle Of Nc
Lcod's non-rcsponsb;lity under such cir
cumsances
MONEY MARKET, sc. An extensive
fraud had been attempted on the eXchc-
quer, by an issue of spurious notes. The
individual taken into custody was said to
hold high station In one Of the govern
ment Offices. The amount Of the fraud
ulent issue is said to be as high rs 49,
000L or 200,000l., according to the con-
lession Of the party. The bills do not
appear TO have been strictly speaking
forgery, for according to a general report,
the signature of Lord Mcntcagle was OBJ
tanned in & surrepttious manner. The
papers are full of rumors and specula-
tons on the subject. 1t was not known
whether the Government would pay the
amount, or whether the loss would fall
on the innocent holders.
The HurcSi and Tie po'n.o Crop~-
Every week Of the present month has
made the winding up of the harvest, and
the prospects of the country more unIa-
vorabc and gloomy
The corn crops, in some Of the north
ern and billy districts. have been quite
ruined and owing to the excessive quan-
tty Of rain, the potatoes, in many parts
of England and Ireland have rotted in the
ground, so as very seriously to diminish
the quantity of food for the people.
Trade continues to be in a wrctchedlv de-
pressed state, both in Yorkshire and Lam
cashire, and there is the prospect ola win
ter of the most severe suffering, if not OF
terror.
There have recently been many incea-
diary fires in the agricultural districts;
by what parties they are committed is yet
unknown, but it is certain that such fires
unus nally occur in times of distress, how
ever criminal and infatuated are the inccn-
daries.- LecAs yK,rcury.
In Manchester things were never known
to be so alarminyly dull and depressed
before, as is our cloth market at the pre-
sent time, and the prices obtanable this
day week are not SO to-day, for nearly
all kiuds Of goods; and as our Calico
printers do not expect to be busy this
year, there is a most cherries prospect
for the coming wlntcr-cheerleSs, indeed,
for both masters and operatives,
The reduced Labor system prevails at
Oldham, and this, in combination with
diminishing wages is gloomy prospect,
The high prices Of provisions also i'll
creases the distress among the operatives.
The hating trade is dull but still prices
are maintained.
Sir Charles Bagot, the new Governor
General OF Canada, who sailed from Ports
mouth i'll the Styx steam lrgate, on the

put back to Portsmouth Oh Monday, the
LIST. inst, with engines damaged. Sir
Charles arrived in London.
Daniel O'Ccnnel has been elected Lord
Mayer of Dublin, and took his seat amid
| long and loud cheering.
