CASE OF THE CREOLE.
On the 18th of February the Earl of
Abe rdecn announced in Parliament the de-
termination Of the Government 10 liberate
the mutineers and murderers taken from
the Creole Trouble will grow out Of this
we greatly fear.
The Earl of Aberdeen said, that some
communications had taken place upon this
subject with the Government Of America,
but he hoped the noble lord would not press
for them, if he informed him of the course
which the Government intended to pursue.
After receiving all the legal assistance they
deemed requisite, the Government was
satisfied that, BY the law Of this country,
there was no authority to bring persons
who had escaped in :he Creole TO tra! for
mutinv or murder, still less to deliver them
up, or even 10 detain them in custody
Instructions had accordingly been sent out
for their Liberation, unless it should appear
that there was any colonial law under which
they could be brough TO trial. He was not,
however, aware Of the existence Of any
such law.
These views were generally concurred
In. No one opposed them.
The weekly Chronicle remarks upon
this subject as follows:
Equity and moral feeling confirm, we
think, the Legal Decision in the case Of the
Creole, yet we see no reason 10 believe the
Americans will sit down contenled with the
issue. They have too many positive in
terests involved in il, and these interests
are mixed mp with too many angry pas
eions.
ave fear, therefore, that this matter can
hardly be brought to a peaceaEle settle
nent. There is something that outrages
every feeling Of Justice and humanity, in
the idea Of abandoning men who have
trusted to our protection, and who have
committed no crime, that we should not,
ourselves have thought justltiable, had we
been placed under similar circumstances.
We cannot, and shall not abandon them.
e. But lord Ashburton will have no easy task
10 convince the United States of the rea-
sonableness of this decision
