| MoRocco-Wc learn that Mr.. Mullowny, late
Consul al Morocco, has returned 10 The United
States bringing intelligence, that tie EmpeIorre
fuses TO receive Thomas \. Carr, Esq, recently
appointed 10 that office. MIR. Carr has been per-
| United to land in private capacity, and il is
said, that Mr.. Mullowny, citizen of he United
States. but a nativo-b born subject oil the Empe-
ror, brings a letter 10 the President, requesting
tina he may be appointed, instead oil Mr.. Carr
Ths, efforts have been made 10 prevent Mr.. 4.
from being recognised, there cannot be doubt
Ii is q settled policy in our intercourse with these
reeencicc 10 protect our Consuls, and never per-
mn the Cove nmeris Of he BarbfrJ States 10
discard any person in WON Gu. Government has
confidence, nor vel 10 designate whom they may
he pleased 10 have as our representative. IL Is
certainly not policy &c force any DECIDEDLY OBJ.
uoxious Citizen upon the Emperor as Consul,
bnl il must be shown that such person has, by
his acts and conduct made himself obnoxious 10
the Government, always bearing in mind that
consul, who does his duty firmly, and protects the
rights and honor his country against the Tickle
ness arr prejudices Of The Barbary powers can
never be very popular with them. Hence when
, a difficulty occurs which compels consul to
strike his flag that consul is always sent back
when The affair is settled The mussulmen 60
yernnenls take advantage Of every christian
power which is mol firm and decided on Ibis
point Properly explained, and apart from in
tisue, the Moorish Government can have no OBJ
lection 10 receive Mr.. Car.-[N y Sun
