The English papers, it is said, treat the death of Pierce as a private evil, but such as might follow from the right of search. They might be told, according to some apologists for the inhabitants of New York, that it was within our own waters. But if the excuse began in our own country, we cannot wonder that it is accepted by all whom it may concern. Is the complaint about Pierce one of the foolish things done in this country to displease the English?
Some hints are given of Mr. Monroe's intended return to this country. The authority for these hints is not given. It is enough if an insinuation can be attached to them that the business of the negotiation is not finished. We shall have the truths of fact in another channel. According to late accounts, Lord Selkirk, Ambassador to the United States, was ready to embark immediately for this country, tho' nothing has been said of Monroe's being in company with him on his voyage.
