 Trusting that the bitter lesson winch ysu have now learHed will wIn you 10 the mild light of Chris tiaRty. am, with due respect, s. SLY. The affair related in the following article from the Paris Constitutional, has already been made known 10 the American public through ihe newspapers--yet AS Is given more m detail by the Paris journal, lay Il before our readers:
 A singular traasaclios has lately occurred at Ham, burg which is the general subject of conversation On the 18th of Oct. when 223 German smgrants were ab,ut to embark for New York, in the Ham, burg ship AloaIoss, they repaired to the office of the American Consul to have their passports inspected. The Consul observed among them ten Mecklenber- gers, all of most revolling physognoniiss with clo thing all alike. and lheir hair GU. in the sams man ner; all o them had passports in regular form from the government Of the Grand Dschy of Mecklenburs Sehwerin, and countersignsd by the Meckle enburg Consul at Hamburg, Mir Hendrickson-and all ol them bore certificates issued bv directors of the Meek enburg police, declaring that the whole len were reputable men, and possessed of decent con- petence.
 The American Consul no, thinking it proper to counersgn all their passports on the spot, requested the director of the Hambarg police 10 collec, some information respecting them. The request coni- piled with--and il was discovered that the ten Mecklenburgers had all been condemned to Ina ri la bUr for twenty years; the papers with which they were furnished were neither iorgsres nor altered but were quite authentic. The government of Meek lenburg, u appears, in order to get rid of the indi- vduals in question, had them at liberty and sup piled them with money sufficient 10 take them o America, on condition that they should never return to Europeand keep their character secret til they should leave the shores of Europe. The police arrested these criminals in order 10 send them back to their country where they will be delivered over to the authorities. On examining their luggage board the Albatross the police found several pistols with powder and ball.
 Ane Ameficsh Sshsu says 'his n not tue hrst tune the Meek enburg government has played this trick. It has often shipped off to America individuals con. demned 10 long imprisonment. notwithstanding tho strong remonstrances addressed. 10 ii by the Amer can Secretary of State.
 The foregoing is detailed relation of this affair, which we hope will attract the notice of govern meni. and induce them to adopt measures 10 prevent similar imposiions for the future. It is not 10 be tolerated that European governments should abuse our national hospitality by making Botany Bay of the country, whither they may ship 'heir paupers and criminals whom they cannot maintain at homs.
