M. VAN BUREN WasBiocrnni, Jan. 2,1841. MR. FOX TO MR; FORSYTH. Washington, Dec. 20, IS40. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt af your letter of the 26th instant, in which, in reply to a letter which I had addressed to you on the 13tb, you acquaint me that the President is not prepared to comply with my demand for the liberation of Mr Alexander McLeod, of Upper Canada, now imprisoned at Lockport, in the State o New York, on a pretended charge of murder and arson, as having been engaged in the destruction of the practical steamboat "Caroline" oa
the SWlh Uec. 1837.
1 learn with Ideep regret that such is the
decision of the President of the United States,
for I cannot but foresee the very grave and
serious consequences that must ensue if, be
sides the injury already indicted upon Mr
McLeod, of a vexatious and unjust imprison

him in the progress of this extraordinary pro
ceeding.
I have lost no time in forwarding to her Maiestv's Government in En it land the cor
respondence that has taken place, and I shall await the further orders of her Majesty's Government with respect to the important question which that correspondence imvolves.
But 1 feel it my duly not to close this communication without likewise testifying my vast f egret and surprise at the expression which 1 find repeated in your letter with reference to the destruction of the steamboat Caroline. I had confidently honed that the

there is but one opinion; and of ita produc

the citizens of Cincinnati will suffer the 500,000 dollars which have been already expen
ded in the construction of this Canal to be
thrown away, as it inevitably, must be if they da not come forward with the means necessa
