Ir is rumoured that both the Tuscarora and the Nashville have been ordered out of the South ampton waters ; and the letter addressed by Earl cs...zia. to the Admiralty, which will be found in another column, confirms the truth of the report. An English man-of-war is still watching the exasperated rivals, and it is evidently feared that some breach of neutrality may possibly take place. Such a state of things could not any longer be tolerated, and the fact tank the Nashville, filled with armed men and W I , plosive materials, is stationed in the very road edl a fleet of valuable merchantmen, seriously *NW vides the inconvenience. Net doss the late Manny of the Sumter diminish the necessity for preempt interference. It appears that in the neighbour hood of Gibraltar she has lately burned ow Northern merchantman to the water's edge, which was loaded with sulphur, though the cargo was the property of English innehanta, whilst another merchant venal has been "mined to escape on the ground that the cargo heaMISIE to English owners. Even during the war whisk raged half a century ago such conduct would have been a gross violation of international law; and although the 31,,riiing Herald is ignorant of the fact, nevertheless it is true that the Plait, inentary Papers of the year 1814 contain snan. l halm from the merchants of Liverpool, Greenesk, and Glasgow, in which they protest spinet tie novel practice adopted by the American endows of " burning and destroying such prises as they " have no reasonable expectation of getting into " pert." Since those days the commerce of the world has vastly increased, and the mutual inter course between various countries has been greatly enlarged. The last despatch of Earl Itrssam. to Mr. Sswar.o most justly claims special favour for mail packets and passenger steamers, although such a claim would scarcely have been lis tened to in former days. It may be that neither the captain of the Nashville nor the captain of the Sumter would venture to attack the Arago or any Northern passenger ship on her way to New York or Boston from Europe ; but it is obvious that according to the principle upon which these relentless men are acting, they would consider themselves perfectly justified in so doing. But even if they should re pudiate any such intention, it is surely impossible that in these times neutral nations can submit to have mercantile ships in every sea condemned to the flames at the discretion of the exasperated gen tlemen in command of armed Confederate steamers. It may be true that the new regulation by which the belligerent Americans are prevented from bringing prizes into neutral ports has compelled the Southerners to adopt the barbarous practice of burning their vine at sea in order to secure them. But this difficulty is no reason why the merchants of England and of the rest of the world should forego the right to which they are entitled, of having every captured ship taken into port, and the ownership of the property ad judged by a competent tribunal. The desire of later times has been to diminish as far es possible the horrors of war ; and to this end it has been proposed to put an end to pri vateering, and to exempt private property on the ocean from capture. Gross as are the abases to which privateering is liable, it is clear that it is subject to restrictions from which the Sumter and the Nashville seem to be free ; for, according to Chancellor K ENT, the owners of privateers bind themselves " to regard the rights of mistrals, and "to bring their prizes in for adjudication." Even under the best regulations, it is truly said that in privateers the discipline of the crews is not apt to be of the highest order, and they are often guilty of enormous excesses, and become the scourge of neutral commerce. They are sometimes manned by foreigners, having uo permanent connexion with the country or interest in the cause. It is true that the officers of the Sumter and the Nash ville have regular commissions, and therefore these ships are not privateers ; but, on the other band, considering the character of the ships themselves and of the crews, and the lawlessness of their conduct in burning and destroyi ng merchant ships on the high seas without autho.ity, they are not less obnoxious to neutral commerce than professed privateers. But further, even supposing the timo has not arrived at which it would be possiUle to exempt private property on the ocean from capture, it is the bounden duty of the British Government and of all other neutral Powers to give no aid, however indirect, to the wanton destruction of private property on the high seas. It may be assumed that the object of pro hibiting either of the belligerents from bringing their prizes into neutral ports was to diminish the horrors of war. But the actual result has been to aggravate them. It is well known that Northern commerce if not carried on in English ships is carried on by means of English capital. The result, therefore, of the new rule in question has been to compel the Ceelsidelrall ships to de stroy a mat amount of English property. IS these day., when men-of-was ire propeed by steam, it would be utterly hope less for the Confederate ship to attsripe to carry a captured sailing ship safely into any Confederate port. The therefore, adopt the only means which is left to them of destroying the commerce of the enemy. But, on the other hand, it is equally clear that if both belligerents were forbidden to enter any European port these depredations on commerce must cease. Without coals it is impossible for men-of-war to keep the sea ; and even if they were supplied with coals, it would be almost impossible to inflict much damage in case no belligerent man of-war were allowed to remain in the same port more than twenty-four hours, and that only in case of distress of weather, or of • scarcity of provisions. As matters at present stand, however, these difficulties are overcome by the condescension of Great Britain sad the other neutral rowers. The harbours of leulisempton, Gibraltar, and Cadiz are used as refitting stations for the rival belligerents. In these safe retreats the armed ships both of the North and of the South are permitted to lie and watch the passing fleets of merchantmen pursuing their peaceful avocations, so that when either descries any ship belonging to his enemy he in stantly sallies forth, and either destroys or carries her off captive. It is abundantly clear that every independent Power has ample authority to admit or to exclude any foreign public or armed vessel from any port. The neutral Powers by admitting the armed ships of the North and the South, not only indirectly mused= the barbarous mode of warfare adopted by the South, but lend their aid to impede commerce and even to nun their own subjects. As we have already observed, it is impas sible to deny that the dispatch of Earl Res- SELL to Mr. 13ZWL2O is more favourable to neutral rights, and more likely to diminish the horrors of war, than almost any despatch which has ever issued from the English Foreign-office. The policy thus inaugurated ought to be pushed still further. Enough has probably been said to show that the mode in which the armed ships of the North and South have hitherto been treated is in direct antagonism to this policy, and that the new rule of excluding prizes from neutral porta is, so far from a relief, a serious aggravation of the evils of war. It is, therefore, satisfactory to find that Earl Russ= bee lost no time in following up his neutral policy. According to the letter wide, the British FOIMION SZCILITAZY has addressed fel the Lords of the Admiralty, no armed vent either of the North or of the South is to be allowed to enter or remain in the port of Nassau or the waters of the Bahama Islands except by special leave of the Governor, or in case of skims of weather ; and even if such vessel is pallillisd to enter, she must put to sea as DOOR Oil 1111001111. without taking any supplies beyond these Weeded for immediate use. As to all other British ports, it is declared that they shall not be used for the warlike purposes of either belligerent ; and if any armed vessel enters any of these harbours, must leave within 24 hours, except in case of stress of weather, and without being supplied with more provisions than are actually required for the =hardener of the crew or repairs, and eveu in such exceptional cases the veiled must leave as soon after the expiration of the twenty-four hours as parable, and without being permitted to take in supplies beyond what may be necessary for immediate nee i • or if repairs ha required, her stay is not to exosed twenty-four hours after their completion. Nor should it be forgotten that according to the last paragraph of Earl RVOSELL'I4 letter no more cal is to be imp plied than will suffice to carry the vessel supplied to the nearest port of her own avaidey y nor shall any coal be supplied to the u vend awy British port without special permission, or uatil after the lapse of three months. It is obvious, that these regulations so opportunely boned, sad for which the Government deserves lbe Saabs of the mercantile community, will not only relieve the British Government from the necessity of keeping watch over belligerent ships in our waters, but will effectually protect commerce from the 'apredations of American cruisers.

The report that a Federal steamer had fired into a French steamer at New Orleans is incorrect. It arose from a collision between French and Federal steamers. It is officially reported from Kentucky that the Confederates had attacked the Federate at Somer set. A hot fight ensued, in which General Zolli coffer was killed. The Confederate' retreated to their entrenchments, which they deserted during the night and crossed the Cumberland river. The toss was heavy on both sides. The Mends occupied the Confederate entrench ments, capturing their cannon and stores. The news that General Wool had given notice for the removal of the women and children from Norfolk has not been confirmed. The Confederates are reported to have fallen back from Manassas. No forward movements have yet been made from Columbus. OORKERCIAL INTELLIGSNOZ. NEW YORK, JAR. 21. Cotton dull. Middling upl*nd, 32c. Bread stuffs tending downwards.

This appointment is generally popular. The New York ZINO declare; that Mr. Lovejoy's recent speech was a libel osi American sentiment, and does not represent the feelings of the nation. It was, it says, a disgrace to the House of Repre sentatives. General WiceHan has been before the congres sional committee appointed to inquire into the con duct of the war. He is reported to have expressed oonfidrece in the early itemisation of the rebellion. The Cairo Mississippi expedition consists of nine teen regiments of infantry, four regi meats of cavalry and seven batteries of artillery. A male meeting of German citizens has been held at New York for the purpose of denouncing the treatment received by General Sigel at the hands of the government. Resolutions were passed in favour of energetic action until the injustice done to General Sigel should be atoned for. ART 1, 1682. FRANC& THE MEXICAN INTERVENTION. FART Fn. L The Moniteur of to-day publishes a letter from Vera Crux, dated Dec. 31, stating that the excite ment of the Mexicans was beginning to subside. The idea of an arrangement was no longer rejected d priori as treason against the nation. There were serious indications that • party was forming which was disposed to repudiate • govern ment which had been so fatal to the country. The enlightened inhabitants did not wish for war, and the sound-thinking portion of the population demanded the unity of the country under an inde pendent constitutional monarchy. A foreign prince would doubtless rally all sym pathies, but the allies should take care not to put forth any pretensions on their own account, as they would give rise to ideas of conquest which could not fail to wound the national self-respect.

A telegram dated from karesillen only this after noon states that the Pope has at length deter mined, in pursuance of a proposal long on the tapir, to summon all the bishops of the catholic world to assemble in Reins in the month of May. The pre text set forth in the letter of convocation is the canonisation of several martyrs. Imposing as this wonderful aggregation of ecclesiastics may appear, it will be ridiculously impotent to stay the course of events in Italy. The Opinion Nationale, speak ing of this meeting, says : "We augur nothing good, either for the Popo or the Church, from the council in which modern opinion, the genius of civilisation, and sentiments of justice towards peoples, will find scarcely a representative." A despatch from Cherbourg of this day st►ts that three vessels, the Amazon,Turenne, and Darien, have taken troops on board, and will sail to-morrow (February 1) for Vera Cruz. In consequence of the extravagant attacks upon Frame contained in recent numbers of the Verona Jaren ii, certain newspapers at Vienna have thought it expedient to contest the semi-official character of the above prink But this tardy disavowal is of little worth except as showing that Austria is not prepared to stand to all the bullying that she en courages. Everybody knows that there is no ghost of liberty of the press in Austrian Italy.

All the public offices are creed to subscribe to it, and only lately several codes in Venice were shut up merely for refusing to take in the newspaper, which they deemed anti nationaL At the Bourse, the transactions for the settle ment gave rise to many struggles in the Rents for a few centimes, and a good many fluctuations took place.

All the Paris journals have sent special reporters to the amine at Bourg (Ain), where a trial is going un for a series of murders of a most extrsordinsay character. A man named Dumollard —an ugly villain, marked by • soar and a tumour in the upper lip —has been in the habit for seven years of murdering and robbing servant girls, who he lured into lonely places under the pretext of conducting them to good situations. Fifteen cases of murder or either attempted murder are made out against him, and it is suspected that he must have been guilty of many more. His house was found crammed with clothing stolen from bis victims. His wife, who picked out the marks of the linen brought home to her, is indicted as an accomplice. It was from her information that the police found out the spots in the woods and fields where Dumollard had buried the women he had assassinated. Most extraordinary scenes took place while crowds of people from Lyons watched the Judge of Instruction and the Procureur Imperial as they went to seek for the dead bodies, and dig them up.
