TIE CREOLE CASE.
MIR. McRAE, after some remarks, submitted the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas tappears by undoubed evidence that part
of the slaves of the brig Creoe-a vessel which sailed
from the port of Richmond and laden in part with slaves
and bound for the port of New Oreans-mu,ned the
high seas, murdered passenger and orcby carried the
vessel TO the port of Nassau in the Island of New Pro
ydence where the greater part Of the said slaves were
liberated by the authorities Of the Island against the pro
test Of those TO whom the slaves were condet also
that OF the American Consul residing at Nassau Ag-
gravaed by this fact that only quest by the
American Consul Of the British Governor for aid in the
transportation Of these slaves their port of destination
was refused, but permission denied to effect their reso
ration by such the Consul and commander OF
the vessel, themselves could command; and it
over appears that after proof OF the mutny and murder
and identification of the slaves implicated, request
was made by the American consul of the British Go.
vernment 10 send the Hnineers 10 the L. S. which
quest also refused All of which fully appears by
the protest ofthc acting master and others of the
Of the brig Creole taken before Notary Public in the
city of New Orleans the % day Of December, lo4I
and 10 which reference is here particularly made In
this state of facts assuming that the citizen entitled 10
protection at the hands OF his government the
joyment of life, liberty and property and where foreign
aggression has been made any OF these rights the 60
vernment 10 the citizen demand for reparatlon
far it be made and TO the nation vndcation OF
its honor tbese general principles be true and demand
for indemnify due from the Government of the u S 10
those who may sustain the loss by the Liberation of the
slaves which in part the cargo of the brig Creole
That the Government of the U. S. owes this reparatlon
to the parties injured, can, presume, admit Of
doubt, since the citizen claim it at no hands but
those Of his Government. That the Government Of
our country will vindicste The honor and dignity of
the nation, whenever and by whomsoever assaled we
have guarantee in the history Of the past well
in the anticipation of the future. Pretermtting all
comment the attitude in which this affair has placed
the subject 10 that enlightened patriotism and unques
toned sense Of honor, which in Foreign Relations
have ever distinguished the American people, and pass
ing that view of it which particularly
those whose interests we were deputed TO guard--we
take leave to express the following opinions.
Rssored as tie sense Of the General 3SseraLty, That
the Government of the U. S owes to the parties inter-
ested, whether owners insurers indemnity through
the British Government for all loss which has been or
may be sustained in consequence of the Liberation by
the authorities Of Nassau Of the slaves which
part of the cargo of the Creole.
ReSored, That this General Assembly has full conf
dence that the Government of the L. S. keenly alive
10 the aggression committed on our rights, and appre
ciaies the obligation TO vindcae honor well TO
protect the property of our citizens.
Resored, That the foregoing resolutions be commu.
ncaied 10 Senators and Representatives in Con.
gress, with request that they be laid before their
pec,ve bodies.
Mr.. McRaE made speech TO show the importance
Of the subjec-the grounds already assumed by Great
Britain in questions similar TO that arising under the
Of the Creole-the rights OF citizens 10 in
dennty and the duty of the U. S. Government to
make the demand and TO protect our citizens from TO-
reign aggression.
Mr.. DAsIEL concurred with Mr.. McRae in his views
Of the importance Of the subject, and stated that he
instructed by the people of Richmond to bring
and resolutions were laid the table ond ordered 10
be printed
