nance, and has red sandy colore' afs-
Irors and hair. =. r--' e."
When the case was called on, his coun-
sci, Mr.. Spencer, informed the Court that
1t was intended 20 move for the prisoners
discharge from custody, on several
grounds; ono Of the most prominon, of
which was, that if the prisoner had COM
mltted any offence az all, it was public
or national offence against The United
States government. the British govern
ment having authorized the attack on the
Caroline. as would be proved in the course
Of this inquiry.
The Court here interrupted Mr.. Spcn-
Ger, and said that should there be any dis
pute in relation to the proofs on the re-
turn Of the habeas corpus, or if it was
likely that any investigation beyond the
record should become necessary, it would
perhaps be better to now make some dis
position Of the question, in order to give
the parties time to make any further proof
they may desire.
Mr.. Hall, Attorney General on the part
Of the people, said,-thc case had been
presented on certain allegations Of the
prisoner, and he as counsel for the priso-
ner den1urred TO these allegations, as not
being sufficient to sustain the moti.n for
his discharge
CoWt-Havc you seen the allegations?
Mr.. HaH-Yes; they have been fur
nished TO me, and on the part Of the people
we propose TO demur to them.
Conrt-The great importance Of the
question makes US inclined to postpone it
until Judge Bronson arrives here, and he
will probaIy not come until next week.
Mr.. Spencer 1t would be more con-
venient for me to have it set down for next
Friday week.
Mr.. HaN,-It will be perfectly conven-
lent for the prosecuting officer TO attend
on Friday, and have no objections to that
day, if it will be convenient to the priso-
ner.
Court.-We shall therefore set it down
for Friday of next week.
1t was subsequently intmated to the
Court that Friday was appointed as day
Of General Fasting.
The Court then set down the case for
next Saturday week.
We have been informed on good au-
thorty, that Mcleod has made an alfida-
Wit, denying that he acas al all concerned in
the attack on the Caroline.
Judges Nelson and Cowen presided.

The Steamer Presidential is now said
that Capt. Bowman, Of the British ship
Recovery, which arrived here several days
since, saw, on the 28th March, off Corvo,
one Of the Western Islands, large ship
dismasted and with loss Of bowsprlt. 1t is
conjectured that the ship seen may have
been the President. An examination Of
Capt. Bowman is to be held TO day at the
office Of the British Consul.
There are several other stories afoat
about the President having been seen here
there and yonder, but we deem it unneces-
sary to repeat them.
If the President was off Corvo on the
2sth March, surely she ought to have been
heard from in England before the goth Of
April. Capt Roberts would Of course have
forwarded the news to his principals with
the utmost despatch.
The investigation before the British Con-
sui yesterday, elected nothing beyond the
fact before stated, that Capt. Bowman, of
