Barring opposed any me assures for Its fedueuon'

Of spiritsd and fortunate encounters, achieved

N ms by Great Britain. We have compelled
her 10 respect our prowcss we have taught
her even to fear our rising power. The tri-
d,m Of the ocean trembles in her grasp, and
The homage which has here ,ofore been exciu-
siyely paid to her as the Queen OF the Ocean, is
now less entire and undivided. 1t is only by
bayinp strength on the oce an tlatw can become

can industry and enterprise he flag must
float, or difficulties will meet II al every step
and in every form In order hat our trade may
be free, i, must be prolrc'ed; and to project
il, our navy must be cherished.
But neither Great Britain, nor any other ma

The editors Of he Albany Daily Advertiser
have made a curious expose in their paper Of
Monday last. They sac that in May they
were found gnitv ofpublshing libel on John
c, amer, ard fin, $3.50. Two individuals,
John l.. VIZ le and Samuel Stevens, they sare,
ha6 agreed To indemnify the publishers against
all harm. But jus, before, and 90 the CAV IF
trial. they refused 10 indemnify the defendants,
who in cons .quence abandoned the defercr.-
Mr. Cramer and Mr. Fieic were both, candi
da,es for seat in the New York Senate al The
time Of the publication. Mr.. Viele has expli-
CITY denied having brought the libel to the Of
fee IF The Daily Advertiser, and the editors as
explicitly declare tina, he did, and produce a
letter from Mr.. J. w Clark, late assistant
editor, written short time before his death, in
which he details the conversation h. had both
with Viele and Stevens, in which they agreed
to assume the responsibility Of the authorship,
but declined giving written bond, alleging
that their honor was a, stake. The editors
say further, that John Cramer, whom they
thought so bad man, experience has shown
to be liberia! and generous foe, who, though
their liberty and properly were in his power,
and hough they were instrumental ia. deeply
injuring him, treated them with kindness and
generosity; and they have found him possessed
wi h more honesty than hose who charged
him with want Of il. Mr.. G. made setlle-
meht with them by their paying the COSTS;
which latter, even, Viele refused 10 pay, though
he paid the costs Of subpon4ing the witnesses.

has been such a scramble for Office among that

official prizes so eagerly sought, aud which are
