THE SEAT OF WAR-The last accounts from
Europe have somewha, unsettled the probabi,
lily Of peace between Russia aud Turkey, but
the opinion still seems TO be, that terms VIII be
entered into. We wait anxiously the result oil
the neeocia,ions. Hos,iiries having erased,
the other powers can now have freer scope Tor
the exercise Of their mediatorial. influence over
both parties.
The war, thus far, has disappointed the ex-
peclations Of almost every one; but when we
come 10 look at all the circumstances OF the
case, we ought no, 10 be surprised at the unln-
terrupted success Of the Russians. Every thin e
has consp;red to dishear,en and dampen The
Turks Butte fact is not TO be denied, that
Count Diebi,sch has been more than match
Tor any one brought against him, and the new
title which Nicholas has bestowed upon him,
{" SabaIksnsi." or Pssser Of The Balkan, is as
we'll deserved as appropriately given. That
formidable barrier, the Balkan. once surmount-
ed, The forces Of the Sultan appear 10 have CIV
en- up all for lost; and he march OF the Rus
SLAMS from thence TO the Capital, as the New
York American observes, seems 10 have been
unresis ed-almost triumphal.

Con. end that Mahmoud has sacrificed his bo'
nor. His course, with regard to the present
war, has been perhaps the best that he could
have taken. |, is the lot Of the vanqu;shed to
suffer; and in his present extremity, he does
wisely 10 preserve his dominions BY conees-
sions, rather than sacrifice himself and them by
foolishly continuing contest whicn he sees he

Appointment OF MIDsHIpMEN AND CADETS
In several previous numbers of the Gazette
we have called public attention TO the consider.
alton Of the subject at the head Of this para
graph. We have said tina, the appointing OF
Cadets and MId,hipmen, as al present exercis-
ed, is an abuse Of power, and productive of ma.
niiest wrong and injustice to The community.
We have asserted that members Of Congress
have had, for long time back, an undue ad-
vantage in procuring ihese a2poin menls, and
that consid ra'ions Of personal meril are often
entirely overlooked. The practice of the De :
2art,nents OF War and of the Navy in this par
iicular, Under the present Administration. is
not d'ffcrens from that of the last; of course,
our remarks have nothing 10 do with party DO
liics.
We trust that the attention OF Congress will,
at an ea'ly day, be called TO this subject. 1t
demands consider alton. The Government, cer>
talnly designed tina, posts in the Army and
Navy should be open alike 10 the honorable
ambition Of poor as well as rich. YET how
small is the proportion of the former 10 the lsl-
ter, in the employ of the United S,a,es as land
or sea officers? The humble, industrious citi-
Zen, who contributes as much as his proud and
ostentatious neighbor 10 support the Govern,
men,, is TOO of'en' Sighted and o,erlooked.-
There are, we admit, honorable exceptions to
this course. We contend, however, that the
influence OF men in high stations should M, h..
suffered TO extend to the appointing of Cadets
and Midshpmen. Let the Government, itself
look abroad among The people, and, unawed by
favor, choose those best qualified to supper,
the honor and dignity of The country in the
hour OF danger and of trial
