It is matter for surprise. that in

little is said on the subject of the
Russian mediation. We should ma
turaIIy suppose that a project so i'm
portant would have engaged no small
portion of the attention of the En-,

appear even with what temper the
measure has been >received by the

the issue Of the mission is altogether
doubtful. "A London article of May

with having waded into the river and shot
at the unrcsisting and yielding foe, who
clung to the wreck of boat, which had
been sunk by the fire of our guns. IIuma
nifty and mercy are nseparabe from true
courage, and the General knows too well
the character of tbegroops under his com

an unresisting foe is equally due 10 the
