" CONSTANTINOPLE, AIARCH 2G•—The
dons between the Porte and Russia are not very
amicable. 'rite (I,fficulties respecting the execu-
tion of the late Treaties between the two Powers
still subsist.

" MADRID, APRIL 27.—The marriage of the
Kiug is, it is said, determined upon, and is about
to be made public, but the object of his Majesty's
choice is not yet known ; it is supposed our in-
tended Queen is a Princess of Saxony."

New York Papers to the 10th were received
this morning from Aux Cayes.

" Captain SassoN, of the schooner Fairplay, ar-
rived this morning in 15 days from Aux Cayes,
informs us that General GOMAR, one of CEms-
Tortfe's Commanders, with a considerable force,
bad passed into- the mountains Within the impe.
rial dominions of General Bovsa, about 5000
troops, and gone in pursuit of the hostile army,
and had afready cut oil their retreat ; a few of
them had been taken, and a battle was daily ex-
pected. General lioymt had issued an order,.de-
elating that any of his subjects joining them
should'be punished with death,"

New Orleans Papas iave been received of
three days later date than the last arrival.
[Prem. the Paper of the 24th March.]—" It being
understood that Russia has re'rinquished to the
United States all her right to the countries on the
Pacific Ocean, South of the 56th degree of North
Latitude, and that' Great Britain relingnialies all
hers to the same countries, after the ten years sti-
pulated in the late Treaty, with respect to a cer-,
lain portion of them, the United States will now
possess a territory embracing 15 degrees of lati-
tude on the Pacific Ocean.",

The Case of AMBRISTER and ARBUTHNOT bat
naturally excited the attention of every friend to
justice end humanity, and the conduct of the
American General respecting those unfortunate
Gentlemen was in the highest degree atrocious.
We, therefore, cannot but esteem the Marquess
of LANiDOWN for manifesting en anxiety to have
the matter folly investigated, that it Might appear
satisfactory to the People of this Country that
our Government had not committed the national
honour by negligence or indifference on the occa-
sion. Attached as w(e ore to the principles of
Ministers, as well as persuaded, that they, in all
their measures, have the interest of the Country
at heart, we should have joined in censuring- their
conduct if they had ever shewn any indifference to
its character in the eyes of other States. We think,
however, deeply feeling for the fate of our unfor-
tunate Countrymen, that it did not involve alues-
don which called upon us for a demand of repara-
tion or atonement on the part of the Americal. Go.
vernment. It is clear that the victims of the de-
testabteJAcxsoN's cruelty bad actually entered into
the service of a people at war wiat the Uniad
States, one in a military and the other in,a mercan-
tile capacity, the latter supplying those enemies
of the United States with the Munitions of war.
"171' had no authority from the British Govern-

tent to engage in such a service, and we were
at peace with the United States. Had sncli
authority been given by the British Govern-
ment, the Government of , the United States
might have treated it as a violation of pacific re-
lations,
and, unless some satisfaction had been
given on our part, as a fair plea for hostilities
against this Country and its Dependencies. This
is the true point in which the subject ought to be
viewed. As our unfortunate Countrymen had
.withdrawn from the protection of this Country
by leaguing with the enemies of a State with
which we were at peace, and were taken with-
in the territories of Spain, the question is
solely between that Country and the American
Government, in which Great Britain had really
no right to interfere. A respectable Morning
Paper (The Herald) has quoted a passage from
VaTTen, implying that the subjects of one State
" may, and ought sometimes to enter the military
service of a Foreign Power, in order thereby to
learn the, art of war, for the purpoie of being
better able to defend their own Country in
case of hostile aggression." But it never could
be the intention of VATTEL;OTATIy other Writer
on the Law of Nations, to assert that the subjects
of one State might enter into the service of ano-
ther in hostility with a Power in amity with their
own Government. Nothing will justify - the
merciless barbarity of the American General,
in disregarding the sentence of a Court-Mar-
tial, and inflicting the punishment of death
in cold blood, and, accordingly, we find that
the people of America, with a few disgrace-
ful exceptions, view his conduct with horror,
and his name certainly ought to be branded with
infamy for ever. it was very properly observ-
ed by the Earl of Livsaroon last night, that
if such an event had ()mumi in this Country, or
any British General bad acted in so unjust and
inhuman a manner, wHatever his rank, his abili-
ties, or his services, they would not have shielded
him from punishment and universal indignation ;
and we conceive that, for its own honour, the
American Government should mark its sense of
such atrocity by some signal expression of na-
tional abhorrence, if not of judicial
