md Winslow Curtis, or Collision, accused of
ne murder of Edward Selfridge, master, and
Thomas P. Jenkins, mate, of the American
xbr. Fairy, from Boston, bound for Gotten

H. NJ. ship Grasshopper, which ship had
brought them from Sydney, Cape Breton, and
bdged in the Jail of this town, ready 10 be de-
nsered up 10 any vessel that may be sent for
them by The American Governments
The above persons had been put on board

The following paragraph has appeared in The
English papers of recent dates
"During the stay Of the Duke Of Wellington
MSL Petersburgli, an agreement was made be-
tween the Cabinets Of London and ST. Peters
burgh, TO which those Of Paris, Vienna and
Berlin afterwards acceded, by which it was ar
ranged that In the extreme case of military
demonstration, none OF The Courts above men,
toned should pretend TO an increase of terrific
~. II the Porte refused TO accept the Russian
afimaium, Russia would threaten 10 occupy,
temporarily, Moldavia and Wallachia, till it re-
eeIved satisfaction for its demands, approved
BY all the Powers Of Europe. A formal rup-
lure between the two parties could not there
lore cause much uneasiness. An energetic me-
mace on the part Of Russia would appear the
less sirange,as experience has proved that the
Porte does not yield, unless to the most serious
ihrats."
What credit is due to it we are not able 10
say. 1t ii be correct, and has relation not mere
ITO the state of things between Russia and
Turkey, but TO the general policy of Europe
and is to be considered hereafter as the rule
which is TO govern the nations of that quarter
Of the globe, il is regulation of vast importance
in the concerns of Chrisrendom. If there are
hereafter to be no wars for national aegrandize-
ment, il there are TO be no future conquests with
aview TO acquisition OF territory, and the en-
hrgement Of dominion, they must be conducted
upon very different principles from those which
have heretofore governed beligerent nations,
IN their various controversies. Sovereigns and
governments naust engage in hostiiities with
different views and feelings from those by
which they have usually been actuated; nation
hglory will be sought for in trial Of strength,
skill, and courage, and will be found only in The
success Of batlie.
IL such provision as this has been incorpo-
,a'ed, by express siipulation,into the European
Jaw OF nations, we shall not despair Of the a.
Oopuon OF further improvements. For exam
pe-we should hope, before long, TO find priva-
eerng, and making prize of private property
Ssa, expunged from the laws Of war 1t has
@ns been deemed disreputable to plumber and
aesroy the property Of individuals, belonging
F" oelllserent nations, on land, why should it
io' De equally so on the ,cafey2 No good rea-
son can be given for the distinction. AS for
9rivaleering, i, is ferocious and sanguinary
ua'e, very nearly akin, in many particulars, to
piracy; and ought 10 be discontinued by all
su'isuan powers. As long as the Barbary ma
,a0ns are suffered 10 exist in their present cha
ssae'er, genuine privateering must be expected,
wv IL ought 10 be confined to them.
