The E irl of MouulCjshel wished to draw their Lord-hips' Attention to the case of Mr. MeI.eod, a llri i.-h subject, w ho had been seized by the au thorities in the United States, and imprisoned for htivcing ns islod in destroying the steam limit Caro line during the la'c dnadhn troubles. He li.-d leen taken into cuitoi'y by tlic Ainciic u authori ties, on a charge of murder and aiF'in. lie (ihe EjiI of M luntcas'.ied) had learnt from the public papers that a corresponder.ee had taken placo le twetn Mr. Fi.x, the British Minister at Welling ton, and Mr. Forsyth, tho AniPiican Secretary of Slate on the subject, the American Government having refused to deliver him up. Most violent K'eches had been made on ihe su'tjvct in the A incriran Congress, not only against this country but attacking Mr. McLeod himstlf, so that it woul I be impossible almost hut thai he should fall a victim 1 1 tho prejudices excited against him. He (the Earl of Mountcashel) hud a communica'ion wiih Captain Drew, who had attacked the Caroline, and had understood from him that Mr. Mcl.cnd was not ono of the party engaged in capturing the Caro line, but that he was on shore at tho time, in ihe execution of his duty. Ho trusted the Gov. ru incut would act in such a manner as to upho'd the dignity of the country; if they did not the nation would be degraded, and British subjects would be liable to all sorts of insults in the United States. (Hear hear.) The Caroline was engaged in an act of pitaey and rebellion al the lime she was taken; .ind thetefore, thoe who assisted in cap'iiiing her, were fully justified. Had any foreigners, Fn neh or Kussian, taken a British vessel cniraced as the Caroline had been, and had destroyed the ship and hailed tho crew, the British Government would never have thought of interacting. Had the Caro line any letters of marque, cr h id she any nethori ty from ihe Government of tho United Siuies 1 No ; the could not have had from a country pretending to be at peace with us.

What did Gen. lackson on that occasion, under those eiremnstan. crs? Why, he had ihem hanged, and very pic j petty; and the British Govrriimi-iit did not inter- I fere, because ihey were British m1 jects.

Stales ; Viscount Melbourne. I will simply teply lo the question put t inc ly the noble Eji without en terms t pi cent into a discussion of the fjcls an.l arguments by which that question was inttoiluced. It is true that her Majesty's Government has receiv ed information that an individual of the name of McLeod has been urrcs'od by the nuthoiilies ot New York.auJ that be Las also hern committed on n charge of nisnn end mnrdir, slated to have been ; commilled by him on the orca-i.in of Ihe destine- J tion of the steamer Caroline. Imiredis'ely on hearing of Ihe capture ond detention of Ibis huh' i ! ual, Mr. Fox, her M.ijes'y Minister nt Walling the matter einiielv rested wi ll the aii'.ho.ilieo of the Stale if New York, and lint the Fideral Govern ment hjd n t ihe power, if it h id the iiulinacion, to inlcrfirc. Thus the matter s'arids at present. What it may be the intention of her Majesty 'b Govern ment lo do under si eh circumstances, your I.oid hips will not, I am sure, expect me now to sta'e (cheers) but Ihe noble Earl nnd yi.ur T.rrdsliips may test assured that they will t ike cvny measure neccjary to secure the safety of her Majesty's sub jects, and firmly to uphold the honor of Ihe British nation.

Tho Fail of M. ui tcashtl in the House of Loids, Feb 8th, said he had conversed w hh Capt. Drew, and "that officer slated that Mr. McLeod was not one of the 45 who attacked the Caroline. It was, he believed, ascertained thai Mr. McLeod was on shore acling, as he had a perfect riht to do, a one of the militia for the pre eivalion of his ow n propetly, and of the peace of his own country, lie was doing his duty, and ol eying the commands of his superi ors." This ngtees with the statement of Angus Mc-Leod, (liro'.lur of Alexander who is now in j iil at Lockpor',) and will probably turn out to be the fact.
