Till: l'tlMAS AFFAIR OF LAST JL'.NK.
On tho Gth of .Tune last, iu violation
of our neutrality laws, a military expe
dition and enterprise against the British
North American Colonics was projected
and attempted to be curried on within
the territery and jurisdiction of the Uni
ted States. In obedience to tho obliga
tion imposed upon the Executive by tho
(.'ensiitittioii to see that the laws are
faithl'elly executed,' all citizens were
warned, by jirociaiualiou, against taking
part i:t or aiding such unlawful proceed
ings, and tho proper civil, military and.
naval ollicers were directed to lake all
necessary measures for the ctifotceiuent
ol the laws. The expedition failed, but
it has not been without its painful cou
seijuences. Some of our citiaeus who,
it was alleged, were engaged i:i the
exiic liiion, w-re captured and have
been biought to trial, as lor a capital

(without irreverence) imagine some
