THE PANCHITAs CAsE.-From the letters of
Captain Moresby and the further documents
which have appeared iu this case, Que fTmer
ststt Ipent of the facts seems verified; and we
msy DOW cay positively that this British captain,
on evidence of greater ar less weight, seized the
Pancljta rs a SLAYER. and sent her here on his
own responsibility, without warrant of law.
Should the evidence Of her calling be decisive,
the action of Captain Moresby may be sustained
Oh grounds Of expedieHcy; though, in poirt of
principle, we spprehend it might suffer diff
Guilty.
The Ashburton treaty leaves the subject of
search in convenient obecurity-both the nego-
tiators having vainly erdesvored to convince
the other-the one that the search must be abau-
doned, the other that it must be maintained 1t
left the regulation of the proceedings to suppress
the slave trade to the commanding officers of the
respective squadrons on the coast of Africa
Now if there he an understanding between these
cfdcers that chip of either nation may spprehend
SLAYER haiing from either, ouch an understand
ing would exonerate Captain Moresby, and place
matters on Lew footing. If there be no such
uhderstar ding, we are afraid that Captain Mores-
by msy frd he has assumed a good deal of reg
possibility.
Lieut., Odevaine says that he saw no American
vessel on the coast of Africa during twelve
mouths. Where are our vesselss There ought
to be eighty guns there, watching for such craft
as the Papchita: where are they?
The question raised by the seizure of the Pan
chita lie susceptible of being viewed in very
serious aspect; we hope that it will not be dis
m'tsed till the rights of the respective vessels of
the African squadron are clearly laid down and
uniformly acquiesced in.
