published, not long since, the fact. that Alexan-
der M'Leod. one of the persons engaged in that
outrage. had been arrested in Lewistown, West-
ern New York, and committed tojail in Lock-
port to await his trial on an indictment for mur-
der andaraon. The arrest and confinement of
McLeod, lead to the correspondence in question.
Mr. Fox. in behalf of his government, made a
formal demand upon the United States govern-
ment "to take_ protnpt and effectual steps for the
liberation of Mr. McLeod. and for preventing
others of’her Majesty's subjects from being'per-
secuted or molested in -the United-States in a
and effect to this demand, it is stated. and for the
first time, that this high-handed transactionwas
perpetrated in_obedience to the orders. and un-
der the sanction ofthe Canadian, authorities.
‘The Caroline is spoken of by Mr. Fox, as a
piratical steamboat, and he says it is well known
that her destruction "was a public act of persons
in her Majesty's service. obeyiugthe order ofthe
He also takes occasion to
say that the pretended charge upon which Mc
Leod-has been imprisoned. "restsonly upon the
perjured testimony of certain Canadian outlaws
and their abettors. who. unfortunately for the
peace of that neighborhood, are still permitted by
the authorities of the State of New York. to in-
fest the Canadian frontier”—-a pretty broad hint
that the authorities of the State of New York
have not acted in good faith towards her Majes-
ty's subjects. but rather connived at their insub-
ordination. _ S
The reply of Mr._Forsyth is such as will com-
mend itselfto general approbation. and we trust
it will prove—to the mind-of Mr. Fox. as well as
to his mistress and masters at home. that their
swaggering importance will not find much def-
erence here. or lead to any other course than
that sanctioned by a stern regard to the principles
ofiustice. ’ After alluding to the sincere desire
and the unwearied efibrts of thePresident to pre-
serve the amicable relations existing between
the two governments. he says, it is with unfeign-
ed regret that the President finds himself unable
to recognize the validity of the demand. The
reasons assigned are, that the offenceywith which
McLeod is charged. was committed within the
State of New York, and is one which comes
clearly within the competency of her tribunals.
and therefore the federal government has no
power underthe constitution to interfere. "Nor."
adds Mr. F. “would the circumstances to which
you have referred. or the reasons you have urg-
ed.justify the exertion ofsuch a power ifit ex-
isted." The circumstances ofthe outrage. are.
briefly-the invasion of our territory by a band
of armed men in time of peace—the murder of
one or more American citizens-and the capture
and subsequent destruction of a steamboat. the
property of a citizen of the United States. The
Secretary denies that there is any principle of in-
ternational law, or indeed of reason orjustice.
which entitles such offenders to impunity before
to their superior authorities. Mr. Forsyth con-
cludes by reminding the Government of her Brit-
anic Majesty. that the ease of the Caroline was
long since’ brought to the attention of that gov-
vernrnent. and that no decision has yet been
communicated thereupon.

‘of this dull existence. The suspense, however.
was one of great agony, and it was finally con-
cluded not to ‘wait for the moving of the waters.‘
In furtherance of this resolution, several of the
holder sort turned out with axes, levers. doc. to
hasten the desired event. At about noon their‘
efforts were crowned with success—the whole
-mass starting, rushed impetuously over the dam.
.and causing the adjacent buildings and the sol-
id earth to tremble as if visited by an earthquake.
Fortunately it passed of without material dam-
‘age—merely taking in its course one or two of
.the stauncheons from the Bridge.
The river continued to rise until about 4
o'clock the next morning, when it attained a
heighth which has not been surpassed if indeed
it has been equalled, by any thing within the
ltnowledgel of our oldest inhabitants. The eel-'
lars of some of the buildings near the river,
were filled nearly to the ceiling. In one of these
cellars unconsciously slept an old dame. known
by the eophonious name of ' Phillis. which will
at once convey to the readers mind the contour

Several buildings standing on the river side
were moved from their foundation. but precan-
tion having been taken to secure them, none,‘we
believe, were lost.
From everyldirection we hear of damages
done to bridges. roads, &c. From the east we.
hear that Washington bridge. over the Housa-
tonic is gone. and from the west, that the dam_
on the Croton river has been damaged to the
-amount of 40 or 3550.000.

is about $3.000—no iusuranct-—which falls
mostly on Messrs. D. & E. Comstoclr. the own-

premises for the manufacture of wheel hubs.
LEGISLATURE or PsnNsv1.vA:stA.—The le-
gislnture of Pennsylvania met on Thursday of
last week, Chas. B. Penrose of Cumberland,
was elected speaker ofthe Senate. In the House
on the third ballot. Win. A. Crabbe, of‘ Phila-
delphia, was elected speaker ofthat body.
Gov. Potter in his message is inflexible to-
wards the banks—thc issue of small notes re-
ceives_ rather an ttnfavorable notice—internal
improvements should be suspended when the
works in progress are completed-—the public
debt is estimated at '$33,30l.113 32-public
property at $36,499,370 96. There will bea
deficiency in the fund for the payment of the
interest on the public debt, on the first of Febru-
ary uext. of about $800,000. The tax on arti-
cles of luxury will amount to about $600.000.
In reference to the public credit—the sacredness
ofcontracts, the tone of the message is dignified
and manly as _it isjust and honorable.
Loss or rm: Pacxsr SHIP Gnrtrtrcx.-.-—VVe
learn by the New York papers that the packet
ship Garrick went ashore about 20 miles from
Sandy Hook, on the Jersey beach, on the morn-
ing of Thursday last. She had had a fine run
of24 days. but after getting on the soundings of
her destined port. Capt. Palmer found bintself
unable, on account of the weather, to take an
observation for two days previous to the disaster.
The lead was hove at 12 o'clock on Friday
night, in 20 fathoms of water. At 4 o'clock, it
was found the vessel was in only 10 fathoms.
when orders were given to wear ship. and in the
act of goingyaboiut. the ship struck in 16 feet of
water.
The Garrick wasa fine ship ofabout 900 tons.
We witnessed her first introduction to the briny

of which number were lost. She lies within a

The cause ofthis harsh measure is the refus-

REMABKABLE CASE.-.-The Providence Jour-
nal says a surgical operation was performed last
week, by Dr. Lewis L. Miller. upon a lady in
Massachusetts, which consisted in removing
from thebody a perfect and dead child, which
weighed four pounds and six ounces. She had
carried the dead burden more than six years.
and in the mean time has given birth to three
full grown children, the last of which is four-
teen months old. She sustained the operations
well, and base fair prospect of recovery.

Lorrnax DEALElts.- There has been a gen-
eral movement among the Boston police, on
Monday,against-the lottery venders in that city.
Warrants were issued against some eight or ten
individuals for vending lottery tickets, and the
police were out making searches and arrests.-
Two or three were arrested. Others were
searched but no lottery tickets found in their
possession. The selling of lottery tickets is a
high offence there, and subjects the offenders to
imprisonment. ’

Oh Memory l—what spells thy magic weaves.
As comes thy pow’r resistless o'er the soul,-
Telling of pleasures that are past and gone—-
Ofchildhood’s happy yearsof careless bliss.
Of boyhood'sjoys and griefs. its hopes and fears,

Along life's flow'ry path we gaily danced.

'Her Maker's hand, in all her loveltness
Was round our path—the groves. the plains, the
hills, '
Cloud-capped with snow, the rippling streamlet
And the waveless stream—all, all were loved.

Bedecked the green hill side—sweet relics of

Our saddened hearts. And friends too. long sev-

From our sides—friends whom we prized as dear
As to us were our lives —tho’ some are dead.
And some in distant lands are far away,
Still we can ne’er forget. Mementoes of
Their worth long treasured up, sadly come o'er
Us. Mottrnfully we think of them and wish
Them back to bless us with their presence and
Their smiles. which made our homes a paradise
On earth. Vainly affection reaches forth
Her arm to bring them back—they never, no!
They never may return. And yet oft in
The blissful hour. when spirits leave their clay
To soar awhile away to other scenes.
Like a strain ofold remembered music
Their voices come, their forms surround us
And their smiles seem bright and blissful,

But in a dream. Memory, thee we will bless.
Tho‘ pain come mixed with pleasure in thy train.
