much attention at the South. In the course Of the
article arc the following passages:
tVessels Of good intent and honest purpose,
crossing the track of each other on the Ocean,
like travellers meeting i'm the desert. They are,
for the most part, glad TO speak and be spoken.
The defenceess merchant trader likes to be

markets whence the war-like companion comes {;
or, it may be, she herself has commercial inell-
gence ofimporance for her owners or friends in

armed cruiser too, has her enquiries to make, and
thus the advantages Of the interview are recipro-

By these means, the United States have secur-
ed from her officers, the exercise OF the soundest
discretion, as it regards this most delicate matter.
In proof Of this assertion, refer to history for
believe that facts sustain me in the belief, that
no claim has ever been preferred by any nation,
against this country. for indemnity on account Of
injuries sustained by its merchantmen from an
American man of war. Hence the practice of the
two Navies tells very different tale; one sell
dom suspects, and has never trespassed without
damage when the other doubts-''it takes the
trick" abuses its power. and trespasses, without
the fear OF consequences.

to pass himself off for English nobleman. The

The Providence Evening Chronicle, in a

has the following announcements
MORE CE-PRoBABLT.-We hear,
just as we are going TO press, that Suffrage
meeting is to be held in Woonso.ket, this after
noon, when it is expected by some that Mr..
Dorr would be present The object Of this
meeting is said TO be for The purpose Of rallying
The Suffrage men in the northern parts OF the
State, and forming an encampment al Woon-
socket, 10 the end of collecting sufficient force
TO enable Mr. Dorr to march again TO this city.
Some suppose lha, large bodies Of men from
New York and Connecticut will associate them
selves with these forces at Woonsocket, and
render all the aid they can bring, to carry out
the purposes of Mr.. Dorr, whatever they may
be.
We shall probably send an express to Woon-
socket, this afternoon, and should any ihiLg oc-
cur worth Noticing, we shall publish ii in an
extra should it arrive in time.
Since writing the above, we hear and have
the boa! reason to believe, that Mr.. Dorr was
TO meet Mr.. Burlington Anthony, in n. York
city, this morning, for what purpose or TO what
end we cannot say. MIR. Anthony assured us
The other day, that he was favorable to no fur
ther violent action, he possibly may have since
changed his mind.
