ney NEW YORK HERALD. Steam Ship Clyd, This steamer will start to day at twelve e’cleck, tor Charleston, Savannah, Havana, &e@. Letier bags for England go by her. cp As the Clyde did not arrive till 1 o'clock yesterday morning, aad as our very large edition compels as to ge Lo press soon afier midnight, many of our subscribers yesterday received in their paper the mere. anaouncement of the safe arrival of the Caledonia home, and the Acadia out. In our ‘second edition of the “Daily Herald,” we could give but two columins of the news, includiag the markets and the decision in the Creole case. Te the “ Weekly Herald” we gave an entire page of the news. Under a'l the circumstances we deem jt best to republish en the outside of this day’s paper, the whole of the important foreiga news published in the Weekly, as received by the Clyde, together with many additional interesting items. The Foreign News, Nothing could exceed the delight ef the people of this city, oa bearing yesterday morning that the Caledonia wassafe. The whole city was in a state of joyous excitement, and every one appeared pleased and happy. The news brought by the Acadia is calculated to depress ade and commerce in every respect. The horrible state of trade in England—the political and revolutionary excitement all over that country above all, the insolent and haughty tone of the Bri- tish ministers in relation to the Creele case, must satisty every one that there are “‘ breakers ahead.” Tt is evident, that the government of Great Bri- tain, seeing from the firmness of this country, that there must be trouble of some kind, is afraid to meet us on the Boundary Question ; and, therefore, endeavors to have all the difficulties, and (if it must come) war at last, arise out of the S'ave Trade; be- eause she thinks that on the latter subject this coun- try is divided. Should she, however, drive us to extremities, her government will find that it has reckoned this time without ats host. As we were the firet to forward Lord Aberdeen’s decision in the Creole case, to Washington, we shall wait and see the eflect of that news upon Con- grees. Inthe mean time, we call attention tothe following article on this subject from the ** London Times,” which embedies the views of the govern- ment, and nearly all the British press on the sub- jeet:— {From the London Times.} England and America. We have always been perfectly aware that in most quarrels there are some right and some wrong on both sides of the question, much honest misunder- standing, and wholly unconscious prejudice. In- deed, we are never astonished to find the same view of facts assumed in the most frank and undoubting way by one party as an axiomatic truth beyond the reach ef question or argument—by the ether as a palpable and known absurdity. And, accordingly, as such prejudices undoubtedly exist, and as it is very difficult for any man to judge accurately how far he is himself under their dominion, we are apt, inour candor, very much to distrust our ewn first impressions of our adversaries’ arguments or opi- nions. Thingsdo look very different from o| ite points of view; and, therefore, as we have be'ore observed, we are much inclined to suspend our judg- ment for some short time, when we find ourselves in unexpected collision withany incomprehens bly startling statement of an adversary’s opinion. One rather hesitates to pronounce that palpably absurd which men, enjoying the reputation not only of sanity but intelligence, renounce with the «nost.per- fect apparent confidence in theiropinions. Never did this difficulty of ours cause us greater rplexity than in reading certain opinions delivered y divers members of the American Congress on the affair of the brig Creole, amatter on which we made some observations in our paper of Friday last. We were unwilling to suppose the speakers in Con- gress to be under any actual privation of reason, yet itseemed inevitable that either they or ourselves were labsring under the most strange and entire hallucination on principles, considered by both mest obvious, of natural and political equity. We ran over the grounds of our own conclusions, and found nothing to repent of; and so can only beg again the candid judgment of our readers on the startling opinions which we have fallen upon, __ The Creole, it willbe remembered, was carryii slaves from Richmond to New Orleans; some of them mutinied, murdered a passenger, seized the ship, and ran it into an rh thaw harbor. The Eng- lish governor examined the case, seized all the slaves whom the passengers could identify as con- cerned ia the murder and piracy, but professed hi inability to interfere with the movements of the rest, who accordingly landed, and most of them warted forthwith for Jamaica. _ On this state of things two points arise between ourselvee and America. First, what is to become who are so detained? The Ameri- claimed that they should be sent to the United States, which, for the moment, was re- fused ; and they remain as yet in British custody. On this point we expressed no opinion. But further, not only the American newspapers, but men of con- sideration, speaking in Congress, proceed to de- mand campeasation for the slaves who have themselves off to Jamaica or elsewhere. The firet point is not very easily disposed of. Se- veral unsettled questions are involved. These slaves are considered to have committed whut is certainly by the municipal uw of America and England an act of piracy—a murder on the high seas. But is it, with the attendant seizure ef their veasel, within the definition of piracy, as given by the law of nations? If it be, itis cognicable in any country in which the pirates may thereafter find thempelves ; it ss a crime against nations, punisha- ble by any ; and in that case our government, inte whose hands circumstances have thrown the male- factors, should be at liberty to execute justice om them aecording to English law without interference from America or any other authority. There is a well-known judument of Sir Leoline Jenkins to this effect, which we believe is still held to be a precedent both here and in America. It ie Certainly quoted as authority by American jurists, and we apprehend it would not be disputed. But, supposing this is not the case, let it be deci- ded that these elaves are not strictly pirates, bat only murderers of an American citizen in an Ameti- can veseel, and punishable by American authori- ties enly ; the pie question waich then arises iz, are we bound to secure and give up these *‘ fugi tive criminels” when claimed by America? By a treaty entered iato in the year 1795 we were bound to do so, bat that treaty has been allowed to ex pire. Faihog thie, how stands the matter by the common law of nations? Now, here the highest authorities pronounce the opinion which we cer tainly should ourselves wish to prevail, viz: that crminate may be #9 claimed as of right. Ia America, Chancellor Kent acted on this view of the case; and iu the case of Washbourn, did gi a criminal claimed by the Canadian au But the question is very far from being beyond dis pure. Tue contrary opinion has equaliy received the sanction of judicial authority ia the American courts. Cue of their standard writers, Jadge Story, afier enumerating the authorities on each side of the question, leaves che matter undecided ; and another pronounces the following very distinet opinion :— **No sovercigasiate is boand,untess by special com- pact, to dekver up persons, whether its own eub- jecis or foreigners, charged with er convicted of erinves commited in another country, on the demand ot @ foreiga state, or its oflicers of justice. The ex- tradition of persons charged with or cenvieted of criminal offeaces affecting the general peace and ae- curity of svoval society is, however, voluntarily prac- tived by certain states as a matter of general conve- ieee and comity.””—}Vheaton’s International Leno, +6 first peint, then, may be considered as invol- ved im some uncertainty. Nor isit yet clear what will be the oouree adopted by the British govern- ment whea the delivery of the criminals is formally demanded by the United States. Not so however, the second quesii¢n at issue, on which we have pronounced an opiaion with very Lutic besitauun. We showed, on the authority of the above mentioned American Judge Stery, what is, indeed, evident enongh in mere reason, that there was no clearer ptineiple of international law thao that the laws of onc nation had no pretenee to authority m the territory of another, beyond what that other, by its own private customs or onact- Menta, chooee to give them.

There is a prospect, it seems, of difficulties be- tween Texas and the Choctaw Tribe of Indians, whose territory borderson the Red River. Uneasi- ness has prevailed there some time, we learn, in con- sequence of the seizure by the Texans of various ferries and other possessions claimed by the Choe taws ; to which the last trouble is likely to give a serious shape, and suddenly. An aged chief, con- sidered as one of the most distinguished persenages in the Choctaw {nation, and whose name is Ni- tuckutchee, went over the line to a Texan house by invitation, and as he stepped upon the threshold, was shot dead. This act of unprovoked atrocity, has excited not only the indignation of the Choc. taws, but of ether tribes adjacent, and if our gov- ernment does not speedily interpose, great diflicul- ties may be apprehended. The Choctaws alone can bring ix thousand warriors into the field, and with the Cumanchees, the Chickasaws, Seminoles, and other tribes in the neighborhood, they can col- lect, at a month’s notice, a force of some thirty thousand men. Our government is bound by the Tost solemn treaty, stipulating to protect these peo- ple from depredations and injuries of every sort, but the red men have even suffered the grossest injus- tice at our hands—no reparation is ever made or ex- pected for wrongs done to Indians. In the present instance, they will probably take the matter in hand and redress their own grievances. A. simultaneous attack, from Mexieo on ene frontier, and the In- dians on the other, would give the Texans more bu- siness than they could well attend too.

We have heard it asserted that the plans ef Secre- tary Upshur were wild and visienery—that he had chosen a wrong time to press upon Congress his vast project of increase, and by a premature agita- tion ef asubject popular with the people, he had risked those interests which it was his duty to foster and preserve. Tothis it may be asked, what better time to recommend defence to the country, when the people are prostrated at home, and threatened with imminent danger from a grasping and powerful nation, whoee capacity for annoyance consists inher great Navy? We should have a force strong enough at least to check them, until others can be brought to the rescue. Secretary Upshur’s opinions on this point have been submitted te the people, and through the press, have the people ex- pressed their approbetion, and he stands now on a prouder eminence than has ever been attained by his most favored predecessors. decision that amendments toa schedule might be allowed. The practice adopted in England was difficult, but there the Bankrupt law was wholly a penal one, and the proceedings in the form of crim- inal action ; but euch is not the case here—the law paseed by Congress was more in the nature of an insolvent than u bankrupt law ; men are permitted yoluatarily to come forward and beeome saitors. The court has power, therefore, the same as in any other civil cause, to pass upon matters that may be brought before it. Motions toamend a schedule will be allowed, but only so on proof of accidental omission, or some nnfreseen or nnlook- ed for oceurrence Ifa sched: been drawn up loosely, or wi i or defraud, a motion for amendment will not be al- lowed. On such motion being made, proof must be filed sufficient to satisfy the Court that the case comen within this view. 5 Objections have been made in the case of Be: min Cox, 6n the ground that he has not explicit stated the situation of his affairs.

Carrots Case.—Lord Campbell said he sheuld net have spoken on the subject, but that an opisien had been attributed to him centrary te that just ex- pressed by the lord chief justice, which opinion he had never given.

The military is one of the great divisions of duties it owes itself, and without a due attention to what will ia- sure respect abroad, and pretect the country at home, a good government cannot be sustained. One of the ends of political society isto defend itself with ite combined strength against all external insult and violence ; and no government can be perfect that has the means and does not prepare itsdefences. It does not fulfil its to the society which has invested it with authority, and the body politic cannot long subsist under a regimen that makes it unequal to the principal object of its destination. ‘The duty of the administration is too apparent to need comment, and it should foster the strergih of the country, to repulse aggreesion, to secure its rights, and make its flag reepected even in the re- motestecas.
