The Russian force now within the Turkish frontier, amounts to two hundred and fifty thousand men ; and yet England is passive, and France remains inactive. We are not skilled in necromantic diplomacy. We lament this the more as we are unable to give anything like a reasonable interpretation to the silence and inactivity of the " allied" Cabinets. In the absence of the peculiar diplomatic know ledge required at the present moment, we feel no small concern for the vast commercial interests at stake. Our Money-market convulsed ; our national Securities depreciated to a greater extent than they were by the death of millions of our fellow beings by pestilence and famine ; the most staple branches of our trade and commerce rendered both speculative and hazardous; and the ordinary ac commodation of business and requirements of production crippled, and, for the most part, wholly withdrawn. Suffering from all these—the worst effects of a protacted and actual state of warfare— is it possible that we can be at peace ? Are we to be prostrated and plundered before a blow has been struck, or are we suffered to know who are our actual enemies? Does HER MAJESTY'S Ministers think that this state of things can be tolerated, while they have betaken themselves to the Moors, to destroy the reputation of a Manton, or a Truelock, and to throw away upon grouse the menaces they have addressed in vain to the Russian eagles ? Every mail and telegraphic despatch reports some further concentration of force, and some fresh act of daring aggression, on the part of the Ann- MUT. Such monsters may live and batten on the wrongs and injuries they inflict on other nations, and those who sympathize with them may stand unmoved at the mischief done. But we tell our Minister that, there is danger, in the highest office, in submission. A weak obeisance to a demon spirit was the original sin of man, and it is rather too much, to expect of England in the Nine teenth century, a repetition of the mother crime. " England can have no little war" is the axiom propounded by our highest military authority. The hero who spoke these words knew not the small- Hess of the men who were to fill his place in the great councils of the State. As he breathed the memorable warning, he was measiu•ing in his mighty mind the power of the different nations of the earth as compared with England, but did not bestow a thought on the flimsy attributes, and paltry comprehension, of those who were so soon to come after him, and that too, at a crisis which gives the full force of truth in Mc worag. England in her wars,has been taught to estimate the value of her military exploits, by the actual cost of her conquests; and if we pursue the same course in the present instance, the public will be astounded at the disclosure of our losses, caused by the rumours of war in this age of peace. When red re publicanism, was rampant in France—when pestil ence and famine were devastating our sister kingdom—when England had to meet unprece dented drafts upon her bullion for food—and when she was threatened with internal tumults and foreign war—the depreciation in her national securities did not exceed 8 per cent., whereas they have fallen 10 per cent. in value, owing to the AUTO CRAT'S violation of the confirmed law of nations. The loss to England from a reduction of 10 per cent. in the marketable value of her £800,000,000 of stock, is greater in amount, than the Russian trea sury could re-fund in a quarter of a century. War then, with such a nation, poor and hopeless, excepting in buccaneering, surely cannot be as alarm- ing as the public seem to think ; unless, indeed, the Russian tyrant be again fondled, nursed, and Succoured by England herself, from whose'tender sympathies she drew the funds to , prolong the siege, and enter the gates of , Warsaw in 1829, and through whose parental fondness she found in 1851 a sum of £4,500,000, to repair her losses in the Hungarian war. Despotism is shameless. Again we find NICHOLAS asking England, the mother of his former strength, to pardon his tyranny, to forgive his intrusions, to forget his cruel ties, and to aid him against the unoffending "Pagans," whom he undertakes to annihilate with the utmost dispatch. Surely if this be conceded, we have more to fear from mono- mania than from the Cholera itself. The political hirelings on the London press, have their feelers out on behalf of the needy dis turber of European peace. It therefore behoves our government to take some immediate steps to prevent subsidies being furnished to a Foreign state, with which we are virtually, if not actually at war. The urgency of such a step need's no precedent. Ix one of its usual able articles, the London Times of Monday recurs to a subject, noticed in its columns some short time ago, of paramount interest in connection with the war, which, we fear, if not commenced, is all but inevitable. The system of privateering by letters of marque, so gene rally, and so disastrously for many who should have been exempted from its necessary consequences, Will, it cannot be doubted, be renewed, or sought to be renewed, from the moment that war is de clared. This is, indeed, a topic of very deep interest ; but to all concerned in the port of Liverpool, in the shipping that congregate in its docks, from every quarter of the globe, manned by sailors of all nations, it is one of overwhelming importance. In commenting on this subject, our contemporary deals principally with America; and, after showing how glad Russia would necessarily be to avail herself of such aid, expresses well grounded doubts of the ability of the Government of the United States to control the adventurous cupidity of some of its citizens. It seems, how ever, that the misgivings previously expressed by the Times on this point had attracted the notice of the Ape4ican press, and are regarded by it as wholly gr4uitous. A long passage is quoted from the New York Courier, which has, we are told, been transferred with approbation into the various columns ofthe principal journals throughout the Union.' This article not. only repudiates the idea of American citizens serving on board a Russian privateer, but emphatically adds that "the American who is found on board such will be hung at the yard-arm by his captor, with the full approval of every just minded Ame rican. - He would justly forfeit all claim to the protection of his country, and receive, and richly merit, the fate of a pirate." " Certainly," adds the Tinges, "it will be a great step in civi lization, when the privateer and the pirate are placed under one common ban, and equally ex cluded from the rights of lawful war. Great will be the glory of the nation which puts down the practice, and not less the shame reflected on the annals of those naval powers which endured it so long." Is not this plain truth ? and is it not a sub j ect on which the members of the Peace Society, may, without Quixotism, most usefully and humanely exert - their energies ? No question is here brought forward for impossible arbitration ; no enquiry into the conflicting claims of Empires, or of M ight versus Right Regarding war, then, as an unavoidable and necessary evil, would it not be well worthy of those who have so just an appreciation of its horrors, and of the blessings of peace, to direct their labours to the feasible object of rendering warfare (if warfare there must be) more consistent with the spirit of the present age than is compati ble with the system, of privateering? Of the most terrible incidents that system has been the author —because men so engaged in the service •o: foreign Powers are reckless adventurers, disre gardful of life, and thirsting only for gain. There are many other concomitant evils ; and to one of these, as especially interesting to a seaport town, we would refer. Should the Government of the United States sanction by silence, or rather not put down, as far as they are concerned,. the system of letters of marque, it is likely that the Russian privateers may find unscrupulous adventurers even among our own sailors ? Who is to distinguish, in the case of capture, between the Englishman and the American ? A circumstance recurs to our memory, which may suffice to eluci date our meaning. Prior to the close of the American War, in 1813, the American frigate, Essex, was captured by the Phoebe, under the com mand of Captain, afterwards Admiral Sir JiMES HILYAR. On board the EsSex were found a number of sailors, suspected to be British subjects. In order to save these poor wretches from the certain fate which would have awaited them, had they been brought home, Captain, HILYAR, with perhaps queStionable policy, but no questionable humanity; allowed them • an oppor tunity of escaping, of which they all availed themselves, into the interior of one of the Sandwich Islands, himself narrowly escdping a . - . court-martial in consequence. Now, we would ask, is it not probable, should Ameriea 'sanction or permit the engagement of her citizens in Russian Privateers, that some of the more reckless and un principled British sailors would scarcely be de terred from a like course by any patriotic feelings ?. Surely there are considerations involved in the question before us, which merit the earnest attention of all who would do away with, or mitigate, the horrors of war. That the eventual result of a contest with Rus sia would in any degree depend on such auxilia ries, as letters of marque, manned even by Ameri cans, or renegade Englishmen, we do not - believe. Justice, in our own and the French fleets, has strong allies on her side. IF we would know the prospects o f a h ouse o f hmlncoc,,, W chrm Irl cal-cw its eUstonis, nnrl learn their ability to purchase and pay: So, if we would foreshadow the future prospects of Northern England, we must enquire into the circumstances of its foreign customers; but one of those customers • can be looked after in a short article; hence we s& lect BROTHER JOHNATHAN for this, leaving the British Colonies, South America, China, &c. &c, for future consideration. Will:this customer increase in his purchases, and be good pay?---are the questions interesting us. Several years ago some of the States repudiated, as it - was called, and it was thought by many in this country, that the Republic was a doubtful customer. SYDNEY )ICfiTII, with his powerful and characteristic pen, contribu ted to this suspicion ; and, infhien - ced by his own rea soning, he sold out his Pennsylvanian stocks at a ruinous discount ; this was the folly of an eccentric mind; for these of us who knew much more about the 'country, could have told him, that it was utterly impossible that Brother Jonathan could become irredeemably bankrupt. The eternal laws of nature are guarantees of his ultimate solvency. Look at his lands-303,078,970 acres, worth at this moment 1,200,000,000 pounds sterling ! think of the capabi lities of that soil to produce vast quantities of grain, 3,500,000 bales of Cotton, 200,000,0001b5. of Tobacco - yearly—to sustain billions of cattle, sheep, horses and pigs. Add to these the mineral wealth in iron, gold, lead, copper, Sze., and it may be safely calculated, that the actual value of the United States, and Territories in real and personal property, is 3,500,000,000 pounds sterling. Now this is not so bad a customer after all, unless he be hopeleSsly in debt. The. United States, nationally, owe but a very trifling sum of money; but several of the States, individually, on their separate account, have borrowed pretty freely of the English capitalist, for the construction of their canals and railways. The sum total, however of these debts, is.less than one thousandth part of the value of the national property, showing a large balance-sheet of assets above the debts. So much for material means: Next we must look into the state of civilization in that Country, for men's wants of manufactured goods are very much in proportion-to their civiliza tion. The outward symbols of eivilization in a country, without prying into the habitudes of particular families and individuals, are , their schools and churches. JONATHAN has 100,000' seminaries-of learning; 170,000 teachers; 4,300,000 pupils ; and he expends £20,000,000 yearly in he cause of education. The source from whence this money is principally derived, is the land appropriated to the cause of education. The Pilgrim Fathers were too wise to leave this cause to the contingency of fluctuating goods and chattels; so they planted the schools in the soil itself. Tbis has been imitated throughout the New and West ern States. The chitrehes and other edifices for public worship number 37,000,valuedat X 21,000,000, and capable of holding 14,000,000 persons. As to the habitudes of the people, all Western tra vellers will agree with us in saying, that the Ame ricans as a whole, are, nevertheless, profuse and luxurious in their style of living; and hende are :ood customers for manufacturers and tradesmen. But we must hasten to contemplate the .future prospects of this customer. The country is capable of sustaining 200,000,000 inhabitants, and then not be nearly so populous as portions of Europe.. Its annual increase of population at the present time is 3 per cent. ; and within the last half century it has increased 337 per cent. Well, if the preient population of 26,000,000 (together with other cus- tomers) draws from the port of Liverpool such an immense quantity of goods, that the mills in the. manufacturing districts cannot supply the demand what . will be ilie'inerea:se of Oiders wlien the Union shall number its 100,000,000? BIAd this leads us to the interesting inquiry— THE -NORTHER will this:American custom increase proportiona with her growing population ?
