ARBUTHNoT AND AMBRIsTER.

| trialS OF these Two persons, are now be.
fore us. We shall lay them before oui
readers with The utmost possible exDedi
ton. We have scarcely had time 10 look
at ttem-much less TO give them that de
liberate attention, TO which the impor-
tance OF the cases and the interest they
have excited. so justly entitle them. But
we shall weigh them most deliberately.
aud vii! speak our conclusions, as we
trust, most impartially. For the present
we are not prepared to say, whether these
two men deserved the fate which they
met; or whether If they justly suffered
under The laws of nations, il was required
| OF tile United States 10 take their forfeited
lives.
But there is one fact, which we ascer-
tain by these papers, which we confess
we see with much regret .-Arbuthnot
met The fate which the Court martial
awarded TO bin. He was condemned 10
be suspendrdby tie neck until he is dead
md he was So But net so was Ambrlster.
In his case, The court first sentenced the
prisoner TO be shot but on Z" one OF the
members requesting reconsideration of
his vote on The sentence, the sense of the
court was taken thereon, and decided in
ilie affirmative, when the vote was again
taken, and the court sentenced The pri
soner TO receive so stripes on his bare
back, and be confined with a ball and
chain 10 hard labor, for twelve calendar
hs.-But il appears, that Major Gen.
Jackson approved tile finding and first
sentence of the court. and disapproyed the
reconsideration of the sentence. In o.
tier words, Gen. Jackson dashed his
pen through the sentence Of the court
martial, as il stood ultimately upon their
own record, and ordered Ambrster 10
execution, in the very teeth of their deci-
sion
We confess we feel establishment as
well as regret at this disclosure. We have
: arceiy ever seen more unfortunate
General Order. II on.its the only feasible
ground, on which such decision might be
excused or justified lille IT take a ground,
against which the law of nations and the
customs OF our country positively protest.
Had Gen. J. said, hand this man 10
execution because ,.e was found i'm the
ranks or cause of a savage enemy, who
respecting no laws Of war itself, is cnii-
tied TO 10 Indulgence in return'-ihere
might have been some strength and ius-
tice in the remark. - But, what does he
say That II is an established princi-
pie OF the laws Of nations, that any indi-
vldual ofa nation making war against The
citizens Of any other nation, tlley being
al peace, forIeits his allegiance, and be.
comes an outlaw aud pirate. This is the
case Of Robert G. Ambristcr"-an there
fore is he TO be shot, IN the very teeth Of
tie sentence OF court martial. This is
no principle Of the law of naiiOns-If if !
were, then were DE Kalb, and K osciusko, |

FRANKFORT, Der. IS.

We learn that the Diet has already adopt
ed some preliminary measures respecting
The military system OF the German Cone
deral;on, which are doubiy important at
Ibis moment, since the Allies, by eyacua-
ting France, give up the fortrrsses which
they hold on the frontiers.
Thus il is resolved. that the important
tortresses Of Luxemberg. Mentz, and Lam
dau shall be shortly given up TO the Army
of the COME lcraticn. In case the south
western frontiers on the side Of France,
where there is al present no fortress, il is
resolved to make the town OF Ulm place
OF arms and fortress Of the first rank, and
TO deEray the expence, twenty millions are
assigned out oil the French military contri-
buttons.
In order to hare at all times a fortified
point, to pass the Upper Rhine and keep
up the communication with Landau, it is
intended to erect, at Gomersheim, OF, ii
the nature Of the ground SHOULD hinder it,
as near TO that place as possible, double
tete de pont, for the expences Of which fl
teen millions also from the French contri-
button are assigned ; the erection Of these
forlresses TO be commenced as soon as pos
sible, that is, before the end Of the present
year, so that they may be in proper state
Of defence within three years.
Besides these fortresses some other point
is TO be fortified on the south west frontier,
probably Rastadt or Donausch.ngen, and
another between Landau and Luxemberg,
for which latter the Military Committee
proposes Hamburg.
Its proposed that the army shall consist,
for the next five years, OF one per cent, Of
the whole population of the confederation,
that il, about thirty thousand men. The
reserve of one half per cent, on 10000
men The reserve shall be called together
in the several States as soon as the army
marches. Two thirds OF the reserve shall
be then always ready to march when re-
quired.
A sixth Of the army 10 be cavalry, third
part of which is TO be heavy cavalry. Two
pieces for one thousand men, or TX hundred
for the army and three hundred for The re-
serve one halle Founders. one quarter e
FOUNDERS, and one quarter howitzers. A
one hundredth part of the whole army to
be pontoncers and pioneers ; one twentieth
sapers and carabineers a par, of the con-
tngents may consist of landwehr, but the
troops OF the line must be the Minority.
The landshorm is no part of the regular de-
fence of tn Confederation.

The following paragraphs are extracted
from the Speech of Gov. Rioglcy 10 the
Legislature of Maryland, at the COM
menCement Of their present session.
Under the actimposing tax on all banks
in the State of Maryland net chartered by
the legislature, an application has been
m ade to the treasurer. and complied with,
for stamp paper for al office Of Pay and Re.
ceipt, established at Frederick by the West
minister tank. The penalties of tie law
applying equally 10 the branch Of the bank
of The United States, established in Baiti-
more, Il demand was early made on that
bank. Itwas found however that conside-
raJle difficulty would be experienced in
proving the particular offences, so as 10 re-
cover the penalty attached; especially as
from the nature OF that institution the notes
Of branch 10 any other state could BE- and
were issued in payment. The bank how
ever having early determined to stand d
suit, negotiations were entered into, and
as il prof. ssed sincere desire to bring the
question of constitutional right before the
legal tribunals of the country Ito which
their right to resort was unquestionable, }
