From the Nassau Guardian, Nov 22
Tho incident OF Thursday afternoon should BE- known IN
England for its consequences may De most monentous
Admiral Wilkes with two steamers approached our barbr
and sigBaiied for pilot Eliot toyd went out carrying
Thy the Governors drecons) his Excelency procama
ton Of the llh OF March, ana informed the federal Ad-
mira that he could not bring him INTO port without the
special permission OF the GOVERNOR The Admiral epaed
TO The elect that he would not ask IT, and would come 10
without H. However, no DID not come IN, but Bore away
TO the norh and there lay oil at the distance OF marine
Previously % this while he was standing OF the
lighthouse the garrison boat with the Fort Adluant and
the boat a the Barracouta had put Oh with the ress
Intention OF communicating with him; but tho Admiral
10 sgnaly disconrteous manner moved Oh 30 As 70 avoid
communicating with them
the conjecture that neither the Queens proclamation nor
any respect for international usage will prevent him from
acting with haste, rudeness and violence. The cotse
Of such action may be most dsasious for II 10
not to be presumed thai the will tolerate
attempt OF 70 into port in defiance Of her Maes
ty's orders He will not be alowed 10 come in and Lis
conduct may ultimately embroi his country and England
10 war.
We wish draw the attention Of the English people
the condition In which the people Of this colony and Ber
uda placed The ports OF both colonies virtually
bocksdod Innocent vessels Chased, brought 70 and
searched. There is no sufficient protection Of Engsh
vessels between Nassau and Bermuda, h one English
man ofwar sufficient 70 protect out islands and the
port OF Nassau. Recently, are Informed, English
vessels have been taken close 10 the Abaco Gays And
now, TO crown all the bockading squadron is placed
under the command Of officer notorious for his precpi
taton his contempt Of laws and usages and tor his deep
dislike TO England.
Il is impossible that in this state Of things some very
serious colson should not occur that very serious
damage should be inflicted English ships and pro-
pery The only means Of preventing either " 70 have
efficient force III these We have complete conf
dence in the zeal and gaantry Of Captain Malcolm his
officers and crew. But the Barracouta cannot bc here
and of Abaco At tho time And insufficient force
10, 70 men like Admiral Wilkes, only temptation TO
violence and offence; and such violence may most ma
teriay damage the property and damny the interests
Of English merchants and shippers.
We trust therefore, that feelings Of self interest, If not
OF patriotism will stimulate the merchants or England
to urgepon their government the necessity Of keeping up
adequate force here and that the sympahee Of Eng
lshmen will support and uphold the local government in
any which the precipitation Of Admiral Wilkes,
Of men like him. may compel 1t 10 resort 10 for the
vndca6n Of Englieh honor and the protection OF Eng
lsh property and possessions.
