The above communication was evidently written un
der the erroneous Impression that reward for tho cap
turo OF The Florida had been offered by The New ORR
Chamber Of Commerce. Iis advent created con.
slernbe sensation among the members of the Board.
Pre,dep Low thought that y.e should 20 behind the
assumed grievance Of the brazilian merchants 20 our
own and We certainly had greater cause 70 complain
Without the agency Of Great Britain iaticei yes,
sol would never have existed. and vi' he AID and
comfort OF Brazil she could not have iited depr
datons upon our commerce. We regh d h1i ~ ~ P"ds
and the speaker hoped that the Chaulbc, would there
fore b. interested 70 appoint committee TO express 20
these gentlemen the subscribers to the memorial IN
question: the confidence which the Board placed III the
American Government ability end Willingness 10 oner
any redress that Justice would demand.
| Gen WRIMoRL was also IN favor OF the appointment
Of Committee. He was strongly disposed to keep
Greai Britain at arm length aud wished that no court
cay should In the present Instance be extended to the
British Consul N Bahia
Mr. DYNsING Dr rR considered that tie paper was
signed not by Braziilans but by British merchants
residing in iii, Brazilian port under the auspices Of
the British Consul Tho handwriting Of the document,
together with the names attached thereto indicated
this 10 be the fact He therefore considered that
should be laid on the table.
Mr.. A. W. BRADFORD made motion to this effect.
which was seconded and carried unanimously.
But subsequently Mr. MARSHALL desired that the
Board should refuse to accept the communication and
thsrcfor, moved 20 reconsider the notion by which II
was laid on tho table. This occasoned considerable
discussion. Messrs Duer Weimore. and Others consd-
erng tho paper piece oi gross mperiinenee ON the
part of the British Consul; while other members dis
sent ed from this view the subject. Finally. the mo-
tion ~ reconsider adopted with few dissenting
voices and special Committee, consisting Of i've mem

Board-the former to act Chairman-was appointed,
and the puper referred 10 them.
