The Americans generally think that ii will not

most intelligent Of the English merchants express
the mos, decided opinion thai on the arrival ofSir
Henry Pottingcr, who is expected here from the
North in three or four weeks he will demand salts
faction for the violation of the last treaty and that
active hostilies will rc-commencc; and there Is
some reason to fear this as that officer has dis

G,The Eucninq Post strives to make Political
eapital By assailing the Recorder Of this City for
iailihg the orger Mitchell. The public cannot
,yc forgotten that the application for bail in this
case was backed by certificate from MitchelFs
physicians affirming that their patient would GER
tanly and speedily die if he were kept longer in
confinement. The Recorder thereupon agreed TO
accept bail in $1,000, and, after rejecting the bail
profsred once or twice, at length acccpte3 that OF
rwo citizens, who justified in the sums of $4,000
and $500 respectively. One Of them, we learn
on inquiry, is a highly respectable merchant in
good business who is worth at least $4,000, and
who holds himself morally as well as penalty
bound TO surrender Mitchell on a day notice. Is
not this attack on the Recorder then, inhi1nan as
well a. unjust?
