ALTHOUGH the Convention signed at Peters burg!) cannot he made public, until after:it has been ;:itified , by His M'Ailf.k.T 3 i - Land the) DO,Ereqz. R.ussiA, weLive neverthelesis rcat satisfaftion in being enabled to assure. our Readers, that the Terms 9f it are as favourable, to the Interest's of this Coun try as could be desired. It is not. 63n.fiffed to "an adjusts ent of the imthed.tate disputes between this Country and Russia, and to a compensa . ticn for, the Losses sustained by 1 - I.ls . .MaJEsTy's . SUbjea.e, in consequence of the Embargo, imposed in Russia, on the British Shipping (although botb these objeds are .effedually secured'by the Convention), but it alscrrefritains-a precise Statement of the system to be permanently established between Great Britain i - ul'ltussia with respeft. to the. Rights and Duties of Netitral and Belligerent Powers. This system is founded on those principles • of Maritime Law, which have litwn uniformly asserted by Great Bri. fain, and whith are splermily recognized in this Convenlion, and declared to be •tho Rule of Condutl to be invariably observed between the two Coun tries, when one may be in a Neutral and the, other in a Belligerent State. Oar Readers will recollea the most important of those principles are—the Right of Seizing - - Enciniei Property, and"Sucli-Arti- cies a are considered as contrebantie de'Querre on board of Neutral Ships, and the Right of • Search / ing Neutral Ships sailing under Convoy. Both the.,e principles are distinttly admitted.—The first without any quali4eation—the second subjett only to the restriCtion of the -exercise of the Right to Ships belonging to the State ; the Rights of vateers in all other cases : - cmain as before. Most important Regulations are established for the pre_ venting of Enemies Ships sailing under Neutral Colours, and for providing, as effeecually as the nature of the case will adlint, , against those abuses of the Neutral Flag which have been so justly a subjea of complaint on the part of this Country. The Danish and Swedish Governments are in vited to accede to this Convention, as the price of the restitution of their Ships and Islands. We believe that there is scarcely" an example of a business of so complicated and extensive a nature being arranged in so short a period, -to the entire saiisfaaion of the Parties concerned. Tut Dolly Cutter, which arrived at Falmouth on Saturday, left • the British Fleet off Brest, all .well, on Friday.

The Eletlion for Sussex is fixed for Thursday. Mr: FULLER, who is the only Candidate, was nominated on Saturday. On Saturday morning the First Division of the 55th Regiment, under the conunand of Captain 1101xoN, marched into Chichester, on their way to Lewes Barracks.

Lord NENYon'S charge on the trial of Stevenson v.
