 THE MCLEOD CASE.

 The Eie,os ID Engiand dnd Eeiand.-The English and Irish editors were, at the last daIes specula ting wildly and vaguely enough in some instances,i in relation to the of Mcleod. Some of them, especially the iormer were m favor of more decided movements on the part of the government. Thus as | already stated in our columns, the London Times has long article, in which the American govern ment is made clearly in the wrong, and the British Is charged with improper delays. The editor, at the conclusion of his argument, holds this language ''ls il becoming to the dignity of this country that we should patiently awat the very last perhaps the fatal stage of those proceedings, agalns1 winch we have protested from the first Is it in any way compatible with the safety uf Mcleod, aud the honor of the Grown under which he has servtl, o reserve our more lOrcibe remonshances iIl lse sent by these American judges beyond the rPush of snccor If Mcleod IS To be acquitted by force of evidences ,or on any other ground, we presume thai he will not be placed in greater jeopardy than he IS in by any acts ol the mother country. If, would seem but too probable, his chance of fair rial IS as small as his chance of subsequent pardon, we cannot be too soon prepared To interfere m the only way which re- mains to us.

 A correspondent of the London Morning Post (mgh tory) also alludes to the question, and reminds the readers of that journal of a case which he dcs- crbes as analogous, namely, that of Admiral D'Au- vergne, Prince Boulllon, which occurred during the peace of Amiens lie thus states the matter

 Admiral D'Auvelgne was native of Guernsey, and consequently British subject: he was, during the revolutionary war with France post captain m

 the British navy and actively engage,1 in the hosti ties with.the French republic. He us by the will of the old Prince of BouIlon (who emi grated 10 En- gland during the revolutionary trouble ') named his in the princpalty and quasi sovereignty of Boulllon in the Netherlands and which amongst the earliest of the republican conquests annexed to France. The old Prince of Bouon, on finding his

 line extinct, made, believe, the settleu in ques ton, although the evidence of propinq uity in the Guernsey 'Auvergnes to those of Boui lion not ot the clearest or conclusive descl ipton. On the death of the old Prince, however, Ad miral D Au serGne, then post captain in the British navy, as- sued the titie and upon the conclusion of the peace ol Ameins he repaired to Paris, in order to substan- tate hls claims. He immediately arrested by order oi Bonaparte then first Consul, au ncarcera- ted m the Temple, the charge of havi ng, although assuming to be French subject, borne nms aganst France: What was, however, tue pos itlon which the British government took upon the occasion r. Simply ths that Captain D'Auvergne, being actual y British subject, no subsequent act of his could denude him of this character; and that as a British subject the British Government iponsble for his actions in international questions; and in this instance, as France and England war the Government of Britain assuming the Itire respon- sibilily of Capt. D'Auvergne's having borne arms against France, insisted upon his immc Giae lbera- tion. Bonapare the force of the a. rgument and [ that Britain and America were not at wa T when the capture of the Caroline took place, bu Br tan is always at war with pirates. Such was the Caro-

 line; and the interference of the United States is even of more iagtious and untenable charac in the case of Mcleod than was that of Bonapa rte in the case of the Prince de Bouilon, as it seemed dif- cult 10 dNest an individual actually claiming F ench

 title and prncipali;y of the character anu resp ons- bilIties of French subject Bonaparte, howe yer, knew that at the period in question the British lion cowed, and that reprisals must have folio wed any injury inflicted on the Prince of Boulon; au, if Jonathan is not compelled to take the same view of | the question, and through the employment of the same arguments too, it can only originate in our ma tona spirit being fairly gone, and from our being re- duced to sacrifice national honor to base expedien- cy Have the trading and manufacturing propensi- ties and necessities of modern Britain attained such an ascendancy that dread to lose for a time SUD- ply of cheap cotton wool, Il market for our wares and that to retain the same submit to the sheti- ding of the blood of Britons by the mob government of a set of grotesque and pititu savages !''

 The Liverpool Albion also discusses the case but in a temperate spirit. Indeed, with lhe exception of the violent Tory presses, and one two Journals not of much importance, the of the English prints is rather moderate; although occasio nay we meet with communication from some an onymous scrbbler anxious to make bad worse-suc us we have given above. Several Irish prints, on he other hand, are in broad contrast with this spirit. Thus the Dublin Freenlan's Journal reyit WIS a vi udiciive article in che London Times, and says:

 Every man who understands the question at issue or who knows any thing of the disposition temper of America, Is perfectly aware, and ii om the ,st, that McLeod's life in no jeopardy ,shaey- | CT. The pride of America and her interest equally require the full and unqualified right arresi im- prlsoa, try. convict, and sentence such oe nder one engaged in the destruction of the Caroline But the dignity and moral influence of the leest alton m the world would too palpably be compromised by as- socating the shedding of maleiactor's blood with the assertion of great and momentors principle.- In no will NJ Leod be hanged; this the Times | knows well. What has the government of the Uni ted States to gain by choking such character?- Manifestly nothing; but it has mucl infinitely much to gam by putting record in the face of the cowed and covering slaveands af Europe, that her tenito- " cannot be broken upon, her subjects butch cred in cold blood, by the agents of any naughty em- Dir whether with real orders do the deed or subsequently, attempted to be defended by posilim- nous commission.

 'The Times deplores Lord Palnerston's forbear- in not having plunged into of yindication of imperial honor months ago of course, 'twould be vastly enient to have the awkward question settled and out of the way. But does the Times pro- mise to hint that Peel will bully bit betterl Alas, alas, for the good old system, no. All II say, | and it does so in bitter tears, is that # the Ameri shall hang M'Leod ' the whole civilized word'' will look on them as " saoages." The following article, also from the paper, | will be read with interest:

 "The government of the United States were or dered to nterpose between the legal authorities ofN. York and M'Leod. They were told that this wsetch- ed incendiary acting the agent of Great Brit ain, when in the dead of night, he broke into an A. merican vessel, lying at an American quay, and with the aid of his brave and humane companions, scutted the ship and endeavored to butcher the crew. His act was pretended by Mir. Fox, the English Envoy at Washington, to be the act of England, and such could not be entertained, according to the law of tions, by mere municipal court. M'Leod's release lrem prison was, therefore, peremptorily required.-
