The honourable gentleman the Member for Stafford may be precluded by the etiquette of the House of Commons from the privilege of calling things by their right names when speaking of the recent conduct of the ex-First Lord of the .Admi ralty and the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, It is not so, fortunately, with ourselves. We are not amenable, in these columns, to the wire-drawn regulations and fastidiously-contrived punctilios deemed requisite as balms, and salves, and un- guents for the amour propre oE over-sensitive right honouiables in the popular branch of the Legislature. Mr. OTWAY .may be denied the poignant luxury of telling Mr. GLAMSTONE and Sir JArrES GRAHAM to their teeth, in the presence and hearing of the' Speaker, that any stipulations as to the conditions of pe,ce made by them could have had no other object (judging from their late speeches in the House of Commons) than , that of being favourable to our enemies the Russians Mr. OTWAY may be denied this luxury we say, on the plea that such language is not strictly within the rules of discussion—seeing that it is,. of course, nothing less than attributim; to hon, members that which i 3 traitorous. we take the words to which Mr. OTWAY was on Friday evening denied the satisfaction of giving utterance in Parliament. We take them, we adopt them, we reiterate them, we insist upon their u4denialile veracity—upon the directness and. distinctness of their application. We go fox_ Vner—we maintain that not only must the Ills : sians have been favoured by any stipulations iL sisted upon, as among the necessary conditions of peace, by the once powerful, but happily impo tent, little faction of the Aberdeenites, but that to these game A.berdeenites, and to the congenial influenc3of the miserable Peace-at-any-price Party, may be traced "the chief calamities of the War, and certairilY among those calamities the ferocity displayed front time to time by the soldiers and sailor:: of the Russian Autocrat. Rise we nut all along insisted that the late Earcpean tranquillity of forty years' duration m i g : i r, still have been pre3erved intact had a ra tional amount of decision been displayed at the right time—namely, at the very first instant by the leaders of our Government ? W haVe never retracted that opinion—it still remains among our implicit convictions—a belief confirmed by every subsequent occurrence. We still bat' 'eve, as we have all along believed, that we should never have had this war with Russia if England had said in time, "It shall not be !"—if our rulers had declared, before the CZA3'S army had crossed the Pruth, "DIRECTLY YOUR TROOPS PASS • THAT RI7BICON WE SHALL BE COMPELLED TO DP The ferocity displayed by the Russians luiing the present War may be attributed almost entirely to the Peace•at-any-pricy Party and to the .ber deenites. But for these gentlemen we should never have heard of the dastardly and inhuman massacre of Sinope. Bat for them the prlblic mind would never have been horrified with the accounts received at intervals from the scat of - war, relating how our wounded heroes were butchered in cold blood as they lay disabled upon the gro and before Sebastopol, on the heights at Inkerina-n,, or in the valley at Balalclava.

SID NEY HERBERT Secretary a t W ar , . cum ' Sir JAMES G RA HAM First Lord o f th e AdWmairr'alatyn,d Mr. and Mr. GLADSTONE Chancellor of the Exchequer ! Be !awe of all this ! We have the clue now-- (alanks, among other things, to the speeches of ;.he members for Carlisle and the University of Oxford)—we have the clue now—through all the 1 3byrinth of our past blunders, a labyrinth which, but for that clue, we might have found some diffi culty- in threading. Everything is comprehensi ble at last—in regard to the futility of Colonel ROSE'S first demand for the Mediterranean fleet, in regard to Admiral DUNDAS'S refusal to comply vrith that urgent requisition, in regard to all the clonbt, and delays, and hesitations by whic. l ) subqe q uent events were complicated at Constanti nople, u ntil a diplomatic squabble had been allowed to v•ow, and grow, and grow into a war of European magnitude. For all these doubt delays, and liesitatfons we have to thank the patriotism of the AbeTdeenites, and the civic ardour of their auxiliaries o 3tside the pale of the Administration, the craven, pea,z - e-cnurting, leek inunching Peace-at-any-price Party'. For the Russian War and all its consequences we are ftr debted to the Earl of ABERDEEN, to Mr. GLAD sTONE, to Mr. BRIGHT, and to their redoubtable compters: _We alone do not say it. The whole Ono u_. country knows it as a fact, beyond all possthility o denial. And yet more, as we have said already, we have to thank, not only for the Russian War, but for Russian ferocity in like manner, the united influence of this Peace-at-any-price Party, and of these miserable Aberdeenites. Ta these we at e indebted for that blot on the national escutcheon— Ithat massacre at Sinope, which occurred while our fleet was riding at anchor in the waters of the IBosphorus. To the influence of their disastrous policy we may trace not only the massacre of the Turks at Sinope, but that also of our own brave fellows when lying wounded upon the battle-field, and very recently also the cold-blooded murder of sixteen or seventeen of ourgallant seamen bearing a flag of truceto Hangs on a mission of magnanimity. The Member for Stafford may have his lips sealed against the utterance of language not strictly Par liamentary. Truth must yet be spoken—that truth which lives at this moment in the heart and conscience of 30,000,000 of English- :nen. The truth that to the malign influence of the sticklers for Russian f` honour" (!) and to that of mistaken humanitarians almost every one of the calamitous incidents of the War are directly attri butable. Who shall say how much sooner Lord RAGLAN might have 'established his head-quarters within Sebastopol had not his hands been in a man- ner tied by instructions coming out to him from home—instructions made out of mistaken motives of humanity, forsooth ! instructions to save as muc as possible the buildings of the more peaceable in habitants? The first folly, nay, treason, of a like order in regard to thebonibardment of Odessa is no forgotten, any more than the people of England area likely to lose the remembrance very speedily o. the other preposterous evidences of the evils accruing from the peace-mongering principles of .Brightites and A.berdeenites--of timorous admi, nistrators, and. devil's-dust philanthropists. In its anxiety to advance the interests of its Leviathan neighbour the Prussian Government has resorted to steps scarcely compatible with the neutrality it professes itself to be so anxious to maintain. The recent proceedings against the Secretary to the British Consul at Cologne will require very clear and distinct explanation, and possibly amends. We do not say that if any pri vate charge cAn be produced against an individual that he should be sheltered from the consequences thereof by his connection with the diplomatic ser vice of another nation, but it is obvious that any such proceedings should be conducted with the utmost delicacy and circumspection, and that any suspicion of undue motives should be care fully eschewed by the authorities who resort to so extreme a measure as the arrest of a party engaged in the diplomatic service of another nation. di2;nation which it merits. The case is materially aggravated by the fact that, at the time of his arrest, the individual in question was the bearer of a despatch to the Foreign-office of Great Britain. A confidential communication, from one of our Consuls, has been forcibly taken possession of ; and even if its contents have been respected— a matter which remains iu considerable doubt—its delivery has been delayed. The friends of a nation which habitually fires on flags of truce may think this a trivial point. We can not hesitate, however, as to the light in which it will be regarded in all civilised. countries where there -is a just regard for national honour and sion. national faith. The alleged. ground for this very extraordinary proceeding was, that the party was suspected of being engaged in forwarding enlistments for the British Foreign Legion. Su great is the anxiety of the Prussian Government to prevent such a violation of its pretended neutrality that it lias thus flung aside the conventional courtesy and relpeet due to an independent nation. It has thereby proved beyond tha possibility of doubt how serious in its estimation is such an offence— and lias unquestionably subjected itsslf to satisfy the aggrieved state, that it is equally determined to repress such actions by any parties whatsoever, and that if it will not sanction enliAtinents fur Great Britain it will be equally decided in put ting down those intended to operate against its inte'rests. Now, we have it on unquestionable authority that enlistments for the Russian army are openly carried on in different parts of Prussia without let or hindrance, and are connived at, if not openly encouraged, by the authorities ! If this b 3 so, aud we cannot doubt the accuracy of our informant, the arrest of lir. KJ:LAY becomes doubly reprehensible, and demands immediate measures of retaliation. There might be some shadow of excuse if Russia and England were treated in the same way, but when assistance is given to our enemy—when Russian agents are dlowe 1 to obtain recruits, without interfer ence or objection, there can be nz justification for the summary arrest of a diplomatic agent on the mere suspicion that he was engaged in like There is fair promise already of good coming out of this Administrative Reform Movement. The popular sympathy in its favour is not only wide, but deep. It is'not with its promoters, as it was with the champions of the Anti-Corn-raw League.

It s was represented that thesistance of such a body was a matter of urgent and paramoant importance, and that the requisite authority could Rot be postponed without dangerous, if not fatal conse quences to our gallant troops in the Crimea. Tho public journals almost unanimously disapproved of the project, which they believed to be alto gether uncalled for, and which east at heavy sigma on the martial prowess of their country men. In common with all untainted by " Germanism" they " felt a decided preference for the British Article," which they asserted could be obtained more quickly and cheaply, and cer tainly not inferior in quality. Ministers, how ever, succeeded in pressing forward the obnoxious measure through both Houses of Parliament, despite the protests and remonstrances of patriotic indviduals in both branches of the Legislature, and the Universal dislike of all classes throughout the length an.:.l breadth of the land to its obnoxious provisions. Half a-year has since elapsed and little, if any thing, has been done to accomplish the matter :in ,which expedition was declared to be indispensable. Not a single foreign soldier has been imported into England. It is true that a few hundreds have been collected tt.mether in Heligoland, but in ob taining these recruits, we have subjected ourselves to be treated with COIItUMeY by other nations, and, as mentioned in another Orb of this day's impression, embittered our relations with Prussia, who seemed to think the matter contaiLled such evidence of conscious weakness that she might venture to kick the apparently exhausted Lion with impunity. This is all that Government has taken by its motion. It has incurred the shame and scandal of the abortive effort without praOti cal effect, and that notwithstanding the induce ments held out, and the nut very creditable means resorted to by the official "sergeant - KITES." We have only just learned the full extent of these inducements. It was not merely bounty pay and rations, albeit they far exceeded anything offered by the German States, that were teld out as temptations' to take " the QUEEN'S shilling" and mount the cockade. It was not merely the offer of valuable privileges respecting,the officers of their corps, who were to be their own countrymen, re ceiving their commissions without purchase, and who could not be subjected to the annoyance of seeing aristocratic or wealthy youths pitchforked into rank over the heads of meritorious veterans. In addition to these, and to handsome compensa tion in the event of wounds or injuries sus tained in the service, it was, it appears, con- template(' to bestow grants of land in Canada on every soldier as well as officer, and prac tically to found a new military colony, not of the Anglo-Saxon race, but of men naturally devoted to the interests of their " fatherland " rather than of the cquntry which had so -bounti fqlly rewarded their mercenary services. And this project swill be carried into practical execu tion, and every German recruit will receive a valuable boon, not accorded to thoso who have devoted the best years of their lives ta the service of their native land, unless the Canadian L3gisla- ure reject the insidious proposition with the in- Why, we ask, if there had been any diai3ulty n obtaining eligible , recruits in th 3 United Kingdom have not similar ia lac:mnents ben held out to English, Irish, and Switchmen, who we venture to as3e,rt would a 3 efficient soldiers and colonists as any Gmmans that could be found ?

DUPPA, suggested the for mation of a volunteer cerps for active service, which, as he showed, could be easily obtained in almost any numbers, under certain ; can litions, ono of the principal being a grant of land in some of our colonies. The plan appears deserving of mature and attentive consideration, although some of its features seem as yet scarcely developed. For instance, it is proposed that the men should have the power of electin; their own officers ! It i 3 not, however, stated from what body they should be selected, or what guarantee there would be for their experience or efficiency ! The proposition that vacancies should be filled up from the corps itself seams an excellent one, and would dcubtless, in the existing siato of military' administration, be highly estimated by officers and men. Combined with the subsequent grant of land, which, in case of death in the service, could be bequeathed to some friend or relative, the scheme offers advantages superior to any we have yet heard, and the various details could easily be arranged so as to secure an efficient body of men during war, and "an industrial but military class of settlers" in any colony where such persons were required, who, as our correspondent felicitously remarks, would form "a sort of military social guard of the Grand Army of Civilisation !" Let the project only receive the attention it so eminently merits, and there will be no necessity for seeking Germans to perform the duties which there are plenty of Englishmen ready and willing and fully competent to discharge if they only receive a poi tion of the encouragement so lavishly proffered to strangers.

Wednesday, the 13th of June, 1-855, will henceforth be long remembered as the date of the first monster meeting in Drury- Lane Theatre of the great Administrative Reform Association. ..It will be remembered years hence as the bogieeieg of the end of the System of Exclusiveness. It will be then remembered as th e peunnencement of a new epoch in this country of social and polltfeal developmeet--..-a,s the dawn of a 14 TY era in which fresh blood had to Ins in fused into the dwindling veins of the Constitution. It will not be forgotten vory readily that this inaugu rative assemblage of our Administrative Reformers took place, as it were, on the very eve of the day on which their views were to be first brought for mally and distinctly under the notice of the popu hr branch of the, Legislature. - Any more than it will be soon lost to recollection that the demand for a reform of this comprehensive character bad, in the latter instance, been enforced by the vir• tual coincidence of the opinions expressed before the House of Commons by two among the most remarkable men of our generation—sentiments enunciated, that is, through AUSTIN LAYARD'S motion and BUIAVE4 LYTTON'S amendment, The popular gathering in pid Drury, followed almost immediately afterwards by the discussion proyolced within,the walls of Parliament by the lion, mem ber for Aylesbury, will be looked back to, we doubt not, by the more reflective among our re mote successors as the events whieli marked the close of the old blundering scheme of patrician intrigue upon which, up to that time, had been built up the whole of the vast and complicated fabric of our Constitutional Government. Already, indeed, we may recognise in passing occurrences substantial guarantees that sooner or later there must come inevitably the desired re form in our system of Administration. It is no longer a question' of practicability. It is only one of time. We shall be rid at last of the ancient incubus which has hitherto clung as per tinaciously to our shoulders as did the Old Man of the Sea to those of SINBAD the Sailor. At last we shall be enabled to escape from under the poisoned boughs of the genealogical Upas. At last we .shall be afforded an opportunity of passing out into the common sunshine, from beneath what our contemporary the Times, in this year of grace, 1855, called the "cold shade of the aristocracy," but what had already, as far back as 1824, been designated more explicitly by THOMAS MOOR; in his "Life of SHERIDAN," the "overshadowing branches of the Whig aristc cracy"—a phrase which he tells us naively in his " Diery," under date 12th Dacember, 1825, was partieularlyunpaletable to " ears polite," meaning, to those of the still surviving Nestor of the party reflected upon,. Lord LANSDOWNE, as may be seen by the curious in such matters, detailpd at p age 17 in the sixth volume of the "Memoirs o: MOORE," edited by my Levi JOHN RUSSELL. Another illustration of the evil we are all 01 us complaining of so loudly nowadays, an illus tration equally as amusing es that just referred to in the preceding 'paragraph, may be found duly recorded in a volume of politico-literary me morials still more recently published than the one last mentioned as having been conducted through the press under the auspices of the Colonial Secre tary. It relates to a remark of a similar charac ter, made, however, this time, not thirty years ago, bat -barely fourteen from the present date, an allusion not to the exclusiveness of the Whigs, but to the exclusiveness of, the Tories, or rather of their successors the Censerva lives, a sarcasm, not uttered by the lips of the Irish Poet, bat by those of one of the few men who were eminent, as countrymen of his, among his own immediate contenporarie.s. RICHARD SHlLL—himself a staunch Whig, though an Irieh man, and once a demagogue--Sneee it was who in the September of 1841, when Sir Ronzaes new Cabinet was in process of construction, thus is re corded, in his own words, to have drawn the atteev• tiou of a noble Whig Lerd, to the preference shown at that time by the great parvenu statesman, for peers and the sons of peers, as the members, both principal and subordinate, of his Conservative Administration. " Ileppeaing," said the late Mr. SHILL, " to sit beside one of the ex-ministers at dinner, soon after the writs for the new offeeials had been moved, I observed that PEEL was filling up all his posts with Lords. And he is quite right,' said Lord ----.•••;,; 'he understands what he has to deal with, how his majority can alone be kept together.' " Yes, Whigs and Tories, Liberals and Censer vati yes, are all alike, As Mr. TORRENS 3.l‘Dereeanir, in recording the incident we have hero particularised, observes im mediately thereupon in his newly published " Life of SHIEL" (Vol. 11., pp. 304-305.) " The esoteric principle of the Whigs and Tories is, in this respect, the same. They tolerate a few ple beians as working colleagues, but they think and feel towards Veen rather as advocates whom they . have' retained than equals whom they are bound to recognise "—adding, a little further on e —" the _ • House of Ceironons is more intensely susceptible of aristocratic prejudices than any assembly in the civilised world." Every syllable of that is true —and without being coloured by oae particle of exaggeration. The time, however, when these prejudices will have to be abandoned both by Whigs and Tories has even now arrived. The Signal for the change has gone forth, it has already become audible within " those very thick party walls" wittily alluded to the other day in a noble letter penned by the honoured hand of CHARLES DICKENS—those walls which have constituted hitherto the fastness of the younger sons of the nobility, the " very thick party walls" of the so-called popular branch of the Imperial Legisla ture.

It is not yet known what answer the Czar has returned, but the fact is significant. The Council of Administration of the Kingdom of Poland has again published the names of a fresh hatch of Poles proscribe 1 and their property con fiscated to the use of the State. They are accused of having taken part in the troubles of. 1843, And left Poland to assist the Hungarians and help to ore - anise the demo cra ti c c l u b s . 'Every movement of the French and British ships off Cronstadt is carefully noted down and tele graphed to the Emperor. It issiid that a short time ago Admirals Dundas and Seymour had a very narrow escape of being made prisoners. They bad landed on an 'uninhabited rock near Sweaborg to reconnoitre. This being perceived from the for tress, a steamer and a gnu-boat were sent out to capture them, and'might have done so if they had been more cleverly manoeuvred: As it was, how ever, they just came too late, and the British com manders had re-embarked. JUNE 6.—The last post has brought us the Lon don newspapers, with the s p eec h o f E ar l G rey i n the Hduse of Lords, which, of course, created a favourable sensation among the Russians, and is allowed to circulate both in the original and in translations in the newspapers of this city. The new batteries that have lately been erected on Lissy's Nose—the point of the coast on the mainland nearest to the island of Cronstadt—are said to fill up the hiatus in the line of coast de fences, and aro armed with guns of very heavy calibre. A large camp is ordered to be formed on, the east bank of the river Narva, near Ivangorod, and nearly opposite that fortress. The command is given to General Sievers. From the reports of General Wrangel, with re ference to the loss of Yenikale and Kertch, it ap pears that the Russians were completely taken by surprise. The Emperor was furious the first day, and has been sulky ever since. It is generally ex pected that Wrangel will be removed from his command, and share the fate of Menschikoff, Dan nenberg, and other Russian commanders forsaken by fortune, or who may have committed some stra tegical blunder; for luck is an indispensable quali fication for the enjoymeut of the imperial favour. BERLIN, June 16,—We have telegraphic infor mation here that a fresh ukase has been issued for the purpose of expediting the levy of recruits lately ordered in the 17 Western Governments of Russia to the extent of 12 in every 1,000 roistered " souls ;" the t enour o f thi s'new ukase is-' :) to sus pend all the hitherto existing exemptions from military services ; as regards the populations of towns and haml e t s , to extend the age at which men have hitherto been liable to serve up to that of 37 years ; and to empower the military boards en trusted with the business of conscription even to set aside the exemption hitherto existing in favour of only sons. In the government of Ekaternoslav, however, the levy of recruits is postponed until September 15.

The Patric says it has great relson to doubt the accuracy of a Vienna despatch, published by a Lou- don morning paper, stating all the French troops at Kertch had been recalled to Sebastopol.

TheMa " ALEXANDER." ynurriber of the Russian Marin e M agaz i ne, which appeared only very lately, contains little of interest bilyond the reports of M. Mansuroff, who, was seat as Imperial Commissioner into the Criir_ea, for the purpose of inquiring into the state of the medical arrangements there, and of distributing the patriotic gifts, of his countrymer., a mission very nearly akin to that of the Times' Commis sioner at kataria. His reports reyeal much that will offeT a corresponding pendant to the pictures yokk have already published of the state of things in our hospitals. The numbers of the seamen, to whom his mission seems in great measure to have been confined, are now so reduced that this corps is as such no longer employed in any action of importance. At the approach of the warmer season, which began in Sebastopol in the middle of April, an endeavour was made to relieve the hospitals by removing all such, whether sick' or wounded, as could in any way bear the Ise moval. There had, however, been a fearful defi ciency of vehielbs, and such a lack of hay awl, straw, that many of these ina+alids had had nothing be tween them and the bare boards of the carts. A batch of 236 sack and wounded (of course only the less gravely injured would be selected for such a trip) forwarded from Sebastopol to Simpheropol lost 26 of its number before reaching its destination, partly by death, and partly by thoir inability to bear the jolting of the arabas. I have been assured that a despatch forwarded home from one of the foreign missions here, con tains the statement that Count Munster, the tary representative of Prussia at St. Petersburg, had lately informed his own Court that Prince Gortschakoff has telegraphed to the Emperor to the effect that, now that his supplies of provisions are partly cut off and partly rendered extremely diffi cult of 'attainment; he cannot undertake to hold Sebastopol for longer than a certain short space of time mentioned by him; that above all things else, hay had become scarce, and that he in this despatch begs for instru c ti ons as to whether he may pro cee to give battle to the besiegers in the open field,' for the purpose of relieving the fortress. In connection with this part of the subject, he draws attention to the amount of losses the troops hither to despatched to, the Crimea have suffered ; this amount is mentioned as 50,000. The whole story is very plausible and probable, and so natural that almost anybody might invent it ; the contents of the supposed despatch may be true, but I have not been able to establish' the faCt that Count Munster really has telegraphed; anything of the kind ; on the contrary, all that I have learned tends to strengthen a contrary opinion. THE BALTIC FLEET. DANTZIC, JUNE 15. The Vulture, 6, Capt. Glasse, arrived in the roads at 11 o'clock last night, with the mails. She left the fleet anchored off Cronstadt, in . the same position as reported last week. On the 9th inst. the Merlin and Firefly, hav ing on board the French Admiral, all the. Cap tains, and several of the Commanders in the fleet, left the anchorage and accompanied by the Dragon and a French steam -corvette D'Assas, went up to reconnoitre the fortifications on the north side of Cronstadt- After passing Tolbouken Light house, they had proceeded to within about 2,500 yards of Fort Risbank, when suddenly two of those long,•talked of and much-dreaded infernal machines exploded right- under the bows 'of the Merlin, and a third burst, almost at the same mo ment, under the Firefly. The two steamers, al though, of course, severely shaken, were, however, strange to say, but very slightly damaged by the ':pl..)sion. As the. Vulture was lying on the 3d inst. off the island of Nargen, three Poles, serving iu the 12th Russian Regiment of.the Line, deserted, and came on board ; they were handed over to the command ing officer, Captain Warden, of the Ajax, who for warded them on to the Commander-in-Chief. On the following day two civilians deserted to the Ajax ; and if what they told the officers of that vessel be true, there are many others in Revel only watching fora favourable opportunity to follow their example in order to avoid the conscription, of which they seem to be in great dread. The Bulldog, on her passage last week from here to the fleet, with mails and despatches, broke down near Faro Sound, in consequence of some accident to her machinery. She succeeded, however, in reachine. Nargen, f rom w hi c h p l ace th e Li ghtning took on the There has been a report circulating on 'Change of late that it is the intention of some of the most influential and enterprising firms in Dantzic to establish a regular liue of small steamers, between this port and London, for the conveyance of passen gers and freights, but especially wheat. To this end arranganents have already been entered ihto with an eminent shipbuilder in London fbr the purchase of a new and powerful steamer of about 400 tons and it is also contemplated to build two other steamers of about the same size at Dantzic, to be employed on the same line. The timber trade has been for some time past and still. continues in a very dull and depressed state, arising in a great measure from the scarcity of vessels, in consequence of, which freights have Trisen upwards of 2s. during the last three weeks. he prices, moreover, demantled by . the Polish merchants, who are just beginning to arrive, with fresh supplies from Poland, are still too high 'to encourage purchasers to buy for export. The corn trade has received a chock, owing to the dull accounts from all parts. Prices have fallen from 2s. to 4s. from the highest point. There is little or nothing offering for sale, partly on ac count of the low stocks, and partly because sellers prefer holding until better times. Weather very changeable.

The advantages to be derived from this plan are obvious. From that advanced position the ships could keep a better check on the movements of the enemy, nor need they retire from the coast till actually obliged to do so by the setting in of the frost, whilst Gothland offers a favourable situation for the permanent establishment of large depots of coals, provisions, ammunition, and stores for the use of the fleets, as well as hospitals for the sick and wounded, and b arrac k s for the land troops during the winter. The allied forces would, moreo ver, be enabled to exercise a b e tt er con t ro l over the move ments of neutral vessels, and prevent the recurrence of such a shameful act as that lately performed by the United States merchant ship S am my Apple ton, in la n di ng 50 ,000 rifles ' and 12,000 revolvers at Balti c P or b .
