ter l%r. or Western Boundary Question is not
the ! nu, to it. The following extract
ss om. latter dated at Honolou, Sandwich Is
from . 'v 9Th lS4l, will furnish some
ianos e , ,hs encroachments made by the British
. 'osa This portion of our territory.
opo 'S. s Americans of enterprise have at
God . settlement in the country, but they
s .smp'I hem checked by oppressive monopoly.
Until thew were fairly starved out, and Obliged
=. u' rs,nrn. The charter of the h. b. 20: has
~ .o, .u'I been renewed, with an additional
s lew, Il two millions of pounds sterling, inten-
sa I" srn,essy for the settlement Of the dlsPn-
. ..a ,e,,i,ory. And they are now erecting tenn.
1su buildings on every valuable lot Of land

e ear the harbor at Pagot Sound is the finest
he ever anchored in, in in any part OF the
wo,ld We have an almost incalculabie a.
monof Of commerce in the Pacific, and yet ale
iow Johu Bull quiet and undisturbed posses
sion Of the only harbor that belongs TO Us this
aide Of Cape Horn. You are aware that they
have already taken possession Of New leland,
and broken I'D and excluded our fishermen
from those seas; they have also taken possess
sion of Falkland Island; (Which Oxford an ex-
cellen, harbor) and forbidden our vessels cruls-
mo within three leagues OF the land.
NThe stars and stripes, are set at half mast
this day over our roof on account Of the intel
ljpence received of the death Of Gen Harri'
SON."
Add 10 this the accounts daily received OF
the outrages committed upon our flag by BRIT
isb cruisers on the coas. of Africa, and will it
not by every rejecting mind be deemen prop
er subject for the consideration Of Congress.
The bcas,ed phianthrophy Of the British ma
ton as exercised on the Slave Trade Question,
is but the merest pretext, for full license 10
harrass our commerce and drive our traders
from the African coast. A friend Of ours who
has Just returned from an African voyage, IN
forms US that there was at one time last spring
living off the small settlement of Cambria. at
the mouth of river by that name, no less
than one-huudred anc nineteen Clippers OF
various dimensions, nearly all Of which were
engaged in the West India Slave Trade. They
were daily departing with each from ESQ to
700 slaves on board, no attempt whatever was
made to modest them though they were con-
stan,ly within gun shot Of large fleet Of Bril-
fish melI.of.war. No effort whatever is made
by the British cruisers to put down the traffic.
When off at distance from the coast. our YES
sells are attached and boarded, and when 1t IS
proven that they are employed 10 the most IN.
nocent traffic, they are taken in as prizes and
under mere feigned suspicious. and condemned
and sold. Jonathan should look to his rights
in certain quarters, else ere long there will be
no rights to protect.-Mcrning Post.
