Mr. Caeron expresses the opinion that not only ought
ndemnifcaton to be made to Mr. Laborde, her Catholic
Maestys Consul for injury and loss of property but that
reparaion is due also from the Government of the United
States to those Spaniad residing in New Orleans whose
property injured destroyed by the mob and init
mates that such repaaton had been verbally promised
him. The undersigned sincerely regrets that msap
prehenson should have out of conversation
between Mr. Calderon and officers of this Government
this unfortunate and unpleasant affair." but while this
Government has manifested willingness and determine
ton to perform every duty which friendly nation has
right to expect from another in of this kind it
supposes that the rights of the Spanish Consul public
officer residing here under the protection the United
States Government quite different from those of the
Spanish subjects who have into the country to min
gle with citizens and here pursue their private
business and objects The former may claim special in
demny the latter entitled to such protection as is
afforded to citizens While, therefore, the losses
of individuals private Spanish subjects greatly to be
regretted yet it is understood that many American ct
Gems suffered equal losses from the and these
private individuals, subjects of her Catholic Majesty
coming voluntarily to reside in the United States have
certainly of complaint If they protected by
the laws and the administration of law,
advantages over citizens of the State in which they
happen to be- nasmuch they enabled, until they
become citizens themselves to prosecute for injuries
done to their persons property in the courts Of the
United States the State courts, Mt their election
The President is Of opinion already stated that for
obvious reasons Of the Consul is different and
that the Government the United States should provide
to that effect will be laid before Congress at early Pc
Rod of it's approaching This is all which it is in
his power to do. The may be one, but the
President being Of opinion that Mr. Labore ought to be
indemncd has not thought it necessary to search for
preoedents. 6,

there because with the severity has used towards
the piratcal invaders Of Spanish territory it would like
wise punish all who should attempt to commit any offence
against those respectable foreigners who reside there
under the assurances Of our good faith. t
Her Government fears however that if these
agtatons and hostile designs should continue, the SUI
preme authority of the island might be placed in such
circumstances not to be able to avoid ordering all those
who belong to the Southern States Of it, and even
compel the United States Consul himself quit in
the Spanish Consul in New Orleans should not have re-
ceived due satisfaction.
But this reparation, together with the naturalization
due those Spanards who were deprived of their pro-
perty by orcibe MEANS have been verbally promised

Government. He has doubt, therefore, but that he

caused by injustice to the derment Of those friendly

We understand that during the sittings OF the
late southern Rights Associations of South Caro-
lima in Charleston, the President and Cabinet were
daily advised by telegraph Of the aspect oil auairs;
and that ever Since the administration has been
punetusly informed Of the movements OF the Sc
ccders Of South Carolina and Of their co afederates
In Georgia Alabama, and Mississippi; and that no
apprehension, are entertained by the President of
south Carolina goIpg out Of the Union without
company Notwithstanding this, all the necessary
pte have been taken 70 act, if action should
H. required. And if, instead OF cooling down, the
Palmetto state should become more belligerent by
Deoember neat, the President may be constrained
60 call the attention Of Congress to the subject, in
his annual message.
There il, doubtless, great deal Of mlsrepresen-
taion shoat respecting the Florida claims OF Mr..
CcSwin, ard, short of a Congressional committee
Of inquiry, hardly expect to arrive at the
whole story. We have every reason for the belief
that such committee, after the reassembling OF
Congress, will be raised; and just as ready
~ any Of the other parties concerned for the exa-
minaiion. The extent Of our interest ID matter
a come importance to the public, being nothing
less than desire TO justice decide between the
claimants, the recipients, the compliments, and the
Treasury.
