VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND.

We received BY the mail of last night,
the New I ork Commercial Advertiser OF
Saturday afternoon, which brings intelh-
rence OF the safety OF the steamer Caledo-
MIA, of the arrival OF .ho Acadia al Halifax,
and Of the return of the Unicorn to Boston,
as we'll as the arrival Of the Yves; India
steamer CLYDE at New York and furnish
ing withall, variety of interesting foreign
news, from London and Liverpool papers
up to the 18th ut.
The Caledonia left Liverpool on the 4th
of February, and, after being at sea seven
days, was compelled to put back on &C.
count of having damaged her rudder in the
late gales.
Lord Ashburton left Portsmouth for the
United States the 18th February, on board
the Warspitc.
It viii be seen in the Parliamentary pro-
ceedings that the British Government has
ordered the mutneers of the Creole to be
set al liberty and that power to surrender
them for trial and punishment is denied.
In the course of the conversation on this
subject in the House of Peers, Lord Den
man said that there had never occurred a
case in which criminals taking refuge in
England, or in the English dominlons, had
been given up on the claim of foreign
Government.
HoUsE OF Looms, FEBRUARY IL.
Lord BRouGHAn. pursuant 10 notice, brought
under the consideration Of their lordships the
case of the Creole, by moving for copies of any
correspondence on the subject. He had, ho said
considered the subject since he hsd first named
the matter in that House, and the result of the
consideration was confirmation Of the opinion
he had formerly given. He was of opinion that
even for the mere purpose of good nsighborhood
there ought TO be law amongst nations giving
the power to each of surrendering criminals seek.
ing refuge after condemnation in other countries
There was. however, no such law in existence,
! and no power on the part ofthis country to COM

| The Earl Of ABERDEEN said that some conimn-
nications had taken place upon this SUBJECT witn
the Government of America, but he hoped tho
noble lord would not press for the'n II he INFORM

had escaped in tho Creole to trial for mutiny OF
murder, or even to dotain them in custody. In

W No answer has been received from
Mr. Clay TO the invitation to attend the
Wing Convention at Raleigh.

~A writer in the Jeiersonian over the
signature Of "Anti-Tsriif" notices an ar
ticIc published last week and states that
We say that " Protective Tariff" is both
I" constitutional and expedient." We said
10 such thing. From The evidence brought
forth in the articles published every one
must believe that Mr.. Madison was IN ia
vor Of Protective Iariff-we believe the
measure to be at this time ineypedicnt.-
We are as much opposed to paying taxes
TO enrich Northern men as any one, but
we look upon the whole nation as our
country and we want to see that spirit OF
compromise which actuated the trainers Of
the Constitution, acted upon now, aud not
every one be governed by his own selfish
principles. Free trade may be the true
policy, but when one section is benefited
by it and another section is excluded from
its benefit, we think as nation we should
try and establish that policy which would
operate in favor OF all alike. If we err in
entertaining such principles, we rejoice in
being able to say that it is an error Of the
head and not of the heart.

..rTTER FROM THE PRESIDENT.


The annexed letter from the President
was read at the celebration Of the 22d
February in Philadelphia By number of
his friends. lie seems to think that per-
son succeeding to the Presidency by the
death Of the President elect has no party
10 sustain him. Now, with all due defer
encc 10 his opinion We THINK differently,
without he should act Just us President Ty-
Ter has done. On the seisctlon OF candl-
date for Vice President il is true that at
tentlon is paid too much TO sectional or
local influence, bu, notwithstanding he is
supported by the party because they be-
heye if contingency should arise he will
carry out the principles of the President
elect. What right has President Tyler to
complain Of the want of the support Of the
Party that elected Gen. Harrison! Has
he not left the Wing party and endcayored
hv his conduct TO break /, up Was he
not elected BY Bank men And did he
not adopt the language of Gen. Harrison
that if a Bank was necessary and expedi-
ent il was constitutional Did not every
person believe before the meeting Of Con-
rress that he would sanction a Bank -
Did no, a Congress fresh from the People
pass two Bank Dills and did he not set up
his opinion in opposition to majority
of the representatives Of the People by re-
tong both Il course Of conduct which
+ Gen. Harrison said he never would pursue.
! 1t was not expected OF Mr.. Tyler that he
should give up any previously formed opln-
ion any further than his conduct would
/ lead US to infer he had changed. How
can two walk together unless they be
agreed How can an unti-bank man re-
present Bank men--this is impossible, YET
our anti-bank President went to Harris.

"a The Raleigh Standard thinks that
the expression We used that it was truly
laughabIc for man of sense to talk about
u proposed debt, was an inaascrtent de-
cIaraiion. L is altogether Mistaken
Does not the Standard and does not Mr..
Henry know that it is usual when the Sc
creiaries or the President offers to Con-
gress a now plan for their consideration
that the probable expenses is also stated.
Whoever but Mr.. Henry has paraded this
before the people, and for what purpose !!
Mr.. Henry was well aware that a great
objection was felt by the people TO large
expenditures of money, and knowing what
effect the extravaganza of the last Admin
istration had in defeating Mr.. Van Buren,,
he resorted to this proposed debt as a
means to try and dupe the people into his
support, but we hope the people are not so
gulllblc. We expect we arc as much OPP
posed TO a /" National Debt as the Editor
of the Standard, and we do not consider ii
National blessing, but still we cannot
see any danger TO be apprehcnded from a
proposed debt. Congress is to Judge Of It's
cxpediency and propriety, and the people
can never complain when their money is
spent for putting the country in state Of
defence, but when it is wasted as it has
been on the Florida War, as well ms in
other instances, they certainly have a just
cause to complain.
