Tis possible fight between the Federal steamer 'Amerces and the Confederate steamer Nashville sumbes at present one of the most exciting topics el eoavettation. Thu tight between Hmewsw and Tom Sarum hardly kindled more curiosity. Probably the arrival of the Sumter would only add to the public interest: although it is just possible that before that event occurs the Nashville may have been transferred to some British owner. In the meantime it must be admitted that serious public inconvenience attends the presence of these American rivals in our ports. Naturally the utmost anxiety is felt by the Corn- wander of the Tuscarora lest the Nashville should snake her escape ; and this anxiety will not be diminished by the intelligence that Captain PAL 1.. a:s, who allowed the Sumter to escape from Mar tiig.ie, has already been superseded. The officers on ditty at the Southampton Docks are kept eon staidly on the watch to prevent any breach of the peace on shore, and it appears that a British frigate and some gunboats are ready at any mo ment to compel both the Federal and the Confe• &rate to observe the duties of neutrality. At present, indeed, our authorities are watching over only one case of the sort. But since such Mike may easily be multiplied, it may be useful to lay down some general rule on the subject, the ob servance of which, without violating the principle of neutrality, will save the public authorities from the Annoyance and expense of keeping constant guard over these exasperated rivals. The principle of international law which governs the obligations of the tw o ships is very obvious, viz.: " The territory and the waters of the neutral " are inviolable, and no hostility can be exercised " therein." In the well-known work of Vsnrat it is written : " Because foreigners can do nothing " in a territory against the will of the Sovereign, it " is unlawful to attack an enemy in a neutral coon " try, or to commit in it any act of hostility." And be illustrates this position by an incident which occurred in 1666. Tl.o Dutch East India fleet, be 'flys, having put into Bergen, in Norway, to avoid the English, the British Admiral had the temerity to attack them there. But the Governer of Bergen tired upon the assailants; and the Court of Denmark complained, though, perhaps, too feebly, of an attempt so injurious to her rights and dignity. In order, then, to secure the inviolability of the neutral territory, two rules have been established. The first is that the boundary of • neutral territory, which was originally defined by the maxim, Terre domi- Atitoir nbi figtaur aneurysm wit, has, mince the introduction of fire-arms, been fixed at the distance of three miles from the shore. With the increased power of projectiles, however, it is probable that even this limit will be extended. From this rule it follows that no capture can be made within the distance thus prescribed, and that any attempt on the part either of the Federal or the Confederate ship to use violence within these limits will be resented as a violation of neutrality. In short, neither the Tuscarora nor the Nashville has any more right to begin an attack within gun shot of the coast of England, than Mr. YANCIT has to attack Mr. Tniatcow Wean in the streets of London. But there is a second rule which has been established for the purpose of preventing the inconvenience and the danger of active hostilities in neutral territory. As the battle must not take place within certain limits, neither must any step be taken which directly teudsto hostilities, even although the fight may not begin until the combatant* have reached the open sea. In ceder to avoid this con tingency it has, therefore, been established as a rule by general consent, that where two or more belli gerents are in a neutral port, the one party shall ad leave the port until twenty-four hours have elapsed from the departure of the other. This is the rule which was acted upon by the French officer when he was in danger of being carried off to meshy Cap tain Patna* of the Iroquois, and this is the rule which it is proposed to enforce, and which ought to be enforced, as between the Nashville and the Tuscarora, at Southampton. If there is one rule more universally admitted than another in international law, it is that neither the commerce nor the safety of neutral nations is to be unnecessarily disturbed by the belligerent. Blockade and the right of search are inconveniences to which neutrals must submit, but they are enough. The neutral who consults his own dignity, and exercises his indisputable rights, can mot permit his ports to be used as stations out of which one belligerent is to sally forth in order to attack the other. As Lord firowsiz observes, " the inconvenience to which the neutral territory " will be exposed is obvious; if the respect due " to it is violated by one party, it will soon pro " yoke a sitnilar treatment from the other also, " till, instead of neutral ground, it will soon be " oome the theatre of war." Now, these principles are universally ackfw► lodged, and by none more clearly don by American jurists. It may be, perhaps, Dasteasry that a British frigate should constantly be kept ready to interfere in caw of en actual breach of neutrality. But it ought not to be. The Ameri can Government and the persons who have equipped the Nashville ought to be informed of the legal position assumed by the Government of this country, and an intimation should be conveyed that if any attempt is •made by the Federalist or the Confederate commander to violate the rules of neutrality • r ~rii' the armed ships of b lai will 111110neise forth excluded from all British ports except for provisions or in case of distress. This would pro bably have the effect of considerably mitigating their mutual irritation, and of increasing that self control which is so necessary for the safety of neutrals. If, indeed, there were any privateers, it might be expedient at once to include them also, but it appears that there are no such armed vessels. Both the North and the South have granted regular commissions to all the naval officers in command of their vessels of war. At the same time it must be admitted that both the Sumter and the Nashville have grossly violated the law of civilized warfare by burning merchant ships to the water's edge instead of carrying them before a prize court. Their conduct is certainly much more like that of pirates—hada h”mani fieneris, as the com mander of the Sumter says. Nor is it clear that a community which sanctions such barbarous pro ceedings deserves to be tre►ted with the same con sideration which is usually accorded to those who themselves observe the laws of civilized warfare.

Another report is also germ rally received, that henceforth no warning will be given to any important journal until the matter shall have been submitted to the Council of Minister.. A tax on carriages, which has been much talked of lately, seems likely to be adopted. The propriety of extending to fishing the laws against poaching for game is under consideration. The experiments in pisciculture having proved successful, the government will certainly ere long reap the fruit of its efforts. Unfortunately the regulations affecting riven are not properly enforced, and are frequently violated by the parties who rent the fishing. No serious supervision is exercised. Fish are very sully destroyed, sad rapidly dis appear. Several cousoLlagaelesl have expressed wishes on the subject, which seem likely to be realised. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 13th state that the Duke dt Malakoff has written a letter to General Orozco, Captain-General cf Valencia, in answer to a communication from that officer. The marshal, in the frankest manner, declares that the general in their interview did not pronounce a single word offensive or improper, and that, on his side, he certainly had no intention whatever to utter a void that could give offence. The other oontenta of these journals are not of interest. Aouording to the new treaty entered into between Spain and Morocco, the Spanish troops are to be withdrawn from Tetuan and the Moorish territory when the payment of three millions of douros (bfr. 25c. each) shall have been made ; the remain ing ten millions to be secured by oue-half the cus toms' revenue of the empire being placed at the disposal of the Queen of Spain, who will appoint - _ commissioners to receive them. The delimitation of the frontiers of the Spanish settlement of Melilla is to be duly marked out in conformity with the treaty of pesos of April, 1860. The treaty of com merce is to be signed and ratified before the evacua tion of Tetuan. The Queen of Spain is to be at liberty to form a missionary establishment at Tetuan similar to that which exists at Tangier, and the missionaries are to be the object of the special protection of the authoritioa All the above stipu lations are to be executed within • delay of five months from the day when Prince Muley-el-Abbaa shall have returned to Tangier. All the articles of the treaty of peace of April, 1860, which shall not have been modified by this new treaty, will remalu in full force and vigour. POLAND.

Charles Le vtgue has been appointed Professor of Greek and Latin Philosophy, vice M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire, resigned, some people have fancied that the latter had just been dismissed like M. de Laprade at Lions. The fact is that M. B. St. Hilaire resigned at the time of the coup d'etat, refusing to take the oath to Louis Napoleon ; and although, as in the case of Arago, the Emperor offered to dispense with the oath, he declined to hold a post dependent on the new government His chair has been kept vacant till now—possibly in the hope that he would come back to it. The explanations with which the Minister of Public Instruction (M. Rouland) accompanied his mint nomination of the learned M. Renan to the Hebrew chair--which, also, had been very long vacant—have quite failed, as he doubtless expected, to remove the objections of the clergy and their political supporters to the appointment. M. Renan is the author of a translation of the book of Job, which has been formally condemned by the Pope, and it is notorious that his views of Scripture generally are analogous to those held by the English authors of the " Sways and Reviews." The long hesitation which presided the appointment after it was first spoken of, shows that the government attaches great im portance to this new assertion of its indepen dence of the church. The Emperor's wish ap pears to be to diminish the influence of the clergy and at the same time to preserve, as much as possible, respect for the Roman catholic religion. The bishops presume upon the catholic phase of his policy to insult him and his government whenever they find an opportunity. The notorious Mgr. Parisis, Bishop of Arras, is now en gaged in a correspondence with U. Honked about the practices of the religious orders, in which be accuses the minister of all sorts of bed faith, and exhausts against him the armoury of irony and rhetoric which it must be confessed is well furnished in his episcopal palace, as in those of the ' French bishops generally. M. Rouland threatened, if the ooutroversy should be continued, to make further disclosures, ►nd appeal to the public. The bishop haughtily throws down the glove, and it is now expected that • serious anti-ecclesiastical campaign will be entered upon in the ooming ses sion of the Corps Legialetif. After an extraordinarily mild commencement Of January—l saw a jessamine in full flower lastweek in a garden at Heinous Laffitte—winter has come back again. We have 8 degrees of frost to-day ; and there are indications of snow, which we have not yet ems in Paris this year, although there was a heavy fall is Lyons The Timms opened with much heaviness, bat silorwazda improved, and a large business was done in the Rent* and the Italian Loan. The opening of the Corps Lelislatif, ten days hence, the Emperor's speech, and K plans, are now the great subjects of s "Mon, and constant purchases of premiums are . the belief that they will exercise • favourable in fluence on the fends. The Rents rose 350. for cash and 50c. for account, closing (notwithstanding a fall of k in Consols) at the highest prices of the day, 89fr. 35c. and 1311 fr. 50c. Mobilier rose 8f r. 75c., and the Italian Loan 25c. The Eastern Railway fell Mr., but most of the other lines were 2fr. or Sfr. higher. In November last M. Bondois, the tax gatherer of Dompierre, was found murdered by the road side, his head, lungs, and stomach being blown to pieces with slugs. He had been getting in money iu the course of the day, and was known to have had upon him upwards of 1,700 fr. He told a village schoolmaster, in • joking way, that people had been paying their taxes very well, and that he was well worth rubbing. While he said this an assassin had been waylaying him for several hours, and, as he afterwards confessed, was nearly out of patience, and was going home when his victim came by. Curiously enough the stun of 457 fr. 80c. was found upon the murdered man ; the murderer bad contented himself with taking 1,254 fr. The author of the crime was discovered by a most ex traordinary accident. The paper wadding with which he had loaded his gun was picked up near the corpse, only slightly burnt. On being un rolled it was found to be a piece of a child's copy book. The schoolmaster of Dompierre recognised the handwriting as being that of a little girl named Maguier, and upon this indication her father was arrested. He made a full confession, and is sen tenced to death. Youlit's abancial • spectaar mat* THE PARANA STEAMSHIP. It was rumoured at New York, Boston, and Port land that the Parana was lost on an inland in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The place meant is most probably Anticosti. The Parana would reach that island about the lit or 2nd inst. The nearest point of telegraphic communication with the main land from Anticosti is Father Point, about 200 miles up the River Bt. Lawrence, and iu immediate telegraphic communication with Quebec. The news, however, had not reached Quebec on the 4th inst., which is also the latest date from Halifax, Boston, and New York. It is strange that such news did not reach Father Point, and yet should have been known at Halifax, a much more distant spot on the coast of Nova Scotia. The Cityof Edinburgh steamer is hourly expected from New York. She was to leave that port on the 4th inst., and if she gets a telegram from Cape Race, she may bring news from Father Point up to the 7th inst. The Niagara will be due next Monday. She was to leave Boston on the Bth inst., and she may bring news from Father Point up to the 11th inst. it she is met at Cape Race. Father Point is the north-eastern terminus of the Canadian telegraph line. This line will shortly be extended to Cape Bonaire, at the mouth of the River St. Lawrence, directly opposite the island of Anticosti. This extension wrS bring us a day nearer Canada, as far at news is concerned. The Parana was commanded by Captain Sawyer, an experienced commander in the Royal Mail Company's service. GENERAL M'CLELLAN'S ADDRESS TO THE YEDERAL ARMY. dreA vei The following ad WOO by Gen. kiTlellen to the Federal army, is `the America journals brought by the mail steamer : v ashington, Jae. 1.

FRIGHTFUL COLLIERY ACCIDENT. FIVE MEN KILLED AND TWO HUNDRED BURIED ALIVE. NEWCASTLE, FIIIDAT NIGHT. One of the most alarming colliery accidents that ,has occurred in this country for several years past took place yesterday morning, at New Hartley colliery. Hartley new pit is situated close to the Hartley Junction of the Blyth and Tyne Railway, and on the western side of the line. It bebop, we understand, to Messrs. Cur Brothers. The workings have been carried on by means of a single shaft passing through the yard seam, at a depth of about seventy fathoms, and penetrating to the low main, which here lies about 100 fathoms below the surface. Closely ad joining the shaft, on the east side, stands a substan tial stone structure, containing the machinery em ployed for keeping . the pit clear of water. The pumping engine is a ponderous-looking piece of work—one of the largest, we are told, to be met with in the coal trade—with • power equal to 100 horses. The beam of this machine was an immense beam of iron, weighing about forty tons—such a mass indeed as one would suppose capable of en during a far greater strain than any to which it could possibly be subjected. It is, nevertheless, from the fracture of this that the melancholy affair we have now to chronicle took is origin. The accident occurred about half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning, and it could scarcely have hap pened more inopportunely. The processof changing the shift had just been commenced, and of the 200 men and boys believed to have been then in the mine, only two seta, or about 16 men, had been sent to bank. The third set was on its way, when just as the cage in which the men were " riding " had got half way up, the beam of the pumping engine broke in two at the pivot, the projecting outer half--a beam of iron weighing upwards of 20 tons—falling with a tremendous crash right in the centre of the shaft. The ponderous mass seems to have struck the top of the brattier, and so violent was the shock that the whole of the massive wotxleu framework extending from the top to the bottom of the shaft gave way, as if it bad bees a bundle of lucifer matches, and was hurled down wards as a mere pile of &brie towards the bottom of the pit. This avalanche of falling rubbish was, as we have said, encountered by the ascending cage, containing eight miners, about midway up the shaft. The survivors of the party, we understand, state that they first observed something shoot past them with the velocity of a thunderbolt, and pre gently found themselves overwhelmed by a perfect hail of broken beams and planks. The iron cage iu which they were ascending was shattered to pieces by the shook, and two of the unfortunate fellows were killed on the spot, and carried far down amongst the debris. Of the remaining six, three survived for some time, and the others were ultimately rescued. All, however suf fered more or less severely from the falling timber, as well as the privations they were exposed to during the twelve weary hours that elapsed before assistance could be conveyed to them. The mans of rubbish completely filled the lower part of the shaft, so as to cut off all chance of escape by that egress for the 200 men and boys employed in the low main. Had they been confined to that portion of the mine serious fears might have been entertained as to their safety, considering the rapidity with which the water must accumulate on the stoppage of the pumping apparatus. As we have explained, however, it would be in their power to pass through the staple leading to the yard imam, and, having gained this higher stage of the mine, it is fondly hoped that they may be able to hold out till assis tance can reach them. There were also in the low main, at the time of the accident, upwards of thirty horses and ponies. These animals, it is supposed, would be in a part of the workings where the water would soon overtake them, and little or no hope is entertained of their being recovered. The news of the accident, of course, spread rapidly throughout the adjoining district, and within a short time the pit-heap was thronged with weeping women, and men whose mournful expres sion told of their sympathy with their unfortunate comrades entombed below. No time was lost in commencing operations for extricating the buried miners, and, as usual on such occasions, there was no lack of volunteers from the neighbour ing collieries to undertake the difficult and dan gerous task. The clearing of the shaft, a work re guiriug Herculean exertion, is being prosecuted with vigour, and we hope will be crowned with emcees. The names of five of the poor fellows who have lost their lives are Ralph Robson, William Brown, George Sharp, sen., George Sharp, jun., and Robt. Bewick. Up to the time of writing the 200 men at the bottom of the pit were, we are sorry to say, still entombed. As already stated, active exertions were being made to extricate the poor fellows from their perilous position ; and as only a few fathoms of rubbish intervene between the point now reached and the level of the yard seam, it is hoped that they may be got at before any of them shall have succumbed to hunger or exhaustion.
