RUSSIAN MEnIATInN.

On this subject, 50 interesting to every
class ct our readers, no further Official 10
formation, we believe. has yet been receiv
ed by government. The British ininisteri-
al prints ridiculs the idea OF accepting che
mediation of any shird power, and employ
all theic influence, such as it is, against st.
Aud we have no recent circums tance on
which we can place mech reliance, which
iavors the idea ol lis aecePGance by tho Bril-
fish governments The only indication Of a
ny disposition on the part IF the British gov
ernment to respect the friendly interior.
snee OF Russia, is the animation Contained
in the late English papers, that Lord Wal
pole has sailed for st. Petersburg with
what object is not stated. a gentleman of
high respcctabit,y, now in London, writing
to his FRIEND in this country, however, sug
gests an opinion, or rather hope, preya
lent in certain circles in England, THAI our
ministers will hot be suffered to leave st.
p etcrsbufg without on effor; by the Britisn
authorities towards an amieabie settlement
of our differences. This hope, Frail as Il is,
is all we have to rely on and we have
thought it proper to state our views of the
subject, to prevent erroneous impressions in
this respect from gaining ground.

MORE THAN HALF A VICTORY.

Comm odore Rodgers has, we learn, re-
turned safe, to Newport. in the frigate Pre- i.
sidept, with another Sloop of War of
the enemy in company, having captured
during his cruise eleven merchant vessels,
besides two national vessels whose united
force probably is nearly as great as that of
the vessel in which be sailed. This safe re-
eurn- OF our veteran seaman through that
boundless ocean which Britain impiously
claims as her domain, is more than half a
victory. Rodgers has ploughed the oceans
maze from hence almost TO the northcrn-
most point of Europe, has vexed the com
merce fthe eneny in every sea, and return.
ed triumphant to his native shore, laden
with the legitimate reward of his daring en-
terprixe. A taird time has he traversed
the ocean and swept the waves from cline
to CLINE, without encountering any equal or
superior force of TIL enemy. Had he met
the former, he had conquered; had he met
the latter, he would have fought a noble
fight. He has sought the enemy, but he vas

did not teach, to 40 enemy Of eqna! force,
