10 giving publicity to an article under the above
caption 10 issue of the 10th instant, the lead

has, we Iegres TO say, been construed into ap-

We are obliged to Capt. Bailey, Of the United
Stafp IN npvlu Ala harh fnro IL
ing Cur prompt attention to the subject and for
stamping sith unqualified ialsehood the slanderous
charges against the gallant com mandsr Of the Co.
are and the people Of the United States.
In publishing the letter of Capt. Bailey we i'm
prove tee occasion TO say, that in reproducing the
article in question our promD idea was, to lay
before cur readers the official notifications contaaed
tbareln, signed by Joseph W. Fabins, u $. Com
me cal Agent; AID by G. N. Ho,lins, Commander
U. s. ship Cyane. These we regarded as important
in an historical point OF view containing the rea
sons for The action subsequently taken by Capt. H..
viii resulted in the bombardment aud destruction
of the town.
In regard 10 the violent and abusive language
employed by the Kingston Morning Herald, we
deemed it SO malicious and insulting aed q; the
ssme time so false and reck ess, to prove sufi
eisnt antidote to IFS own maignity ard impudence,
In she mind OF every one OF our rsa iers.

emepa,e from those whose 70 alton it Is 10 retail

10 appssr IL the Poiyuesinn, we had no other MI
tive than to afford our readers hea tv laugh at an
Explosion OF gasooradc as harmless a. ose Of
Panch's squibs or Mrs. Paltington's drolleres.
In the $ metimes diff .uls task of making seec-
tious nom our foreiga files for our ,luplus, we
rust cur readers will not be too ser si.ive II we
should occasionally omit an expression of Union in
regard TO the Truth or falsity Of what we may hap
pen 10 reproduce. When we give due credit for

worth. We youch for nothing of the sort. But i'm
