CAUSE OF TIE e V1s1rATuNs. Then. Y. Herald,
Of June 9th, hes Kingston (Jamaca) letter, which
seems to account pusby for the late zeal Of British
Gulf cruisers in overhauling unarmed American
vessels. Il RUS thus, in abridgement:
A few years ago, a Lieut.. Stubbs in command Of
the Piunance Of her Britannia Majestys brig Arab.
captured an unknown schooner off the South coast
Of Cuba with upwards Of 800 African negroes on
board. This brig was taken into Port Royal,
Jamaica where the Africans distributed TO
planters and others as indentured servants
This WindfaI Of Afric ans to that underpopulated
island brought the Jamaica Legislature to The point
Of grateful expression the cap0Ts Of the schooner
in the shape Of GOO sterling and through their in
fue6ce procured the promotion Of the gallant
Lieutenant
Here, then, We have the key to the conduct of the
British naval officers who have in the most otfen-
siye manner, boarded American vessels under the
plea Of searching for slavers To have eye 10 the
main chance is as characteristic Of the sailor Of
thelandsman: and with snug s20OfrOm the Jamiaca
treasury looming In Che distance together with the
allowance from The British government, the British
naval officer hesates not 10 commit acts which may
involve his government in war with a country with
which, Of all nations in the world 1t is its interest
70 keep on amicabls terms. We suppose when these
nautical heroes are called 10 account, they must
be, by their superiors for their Eanton aud unPro.
vOked aggressions on vessels Of friendly power,
zeal for the service will be the eXtenuatng plea
for q course Of conduct mischievOus as il is IN
called for W. have pointed out the evident motive
for such acts and We uust-nay, we demand-thst
the British government do not admit the Wretched
subtsrfuge which is likely 10 be set up by way CT
justification for such palpabe breaches Of inerna
tional law.
