Affairs at Nauroo.-By the arrival,
yesterday morning, Of The steamer Ocean

the anti Murmun encampment, wbichiwas
still about twelve miles from Nauvoo, to
Tuesday morning The armed posse then
consisted Of about twelve hundred men,
with five six pound scannon, and zone
twenly.four pounder.s., AS The leaders
deemed their force sufficient, and had re.
ceived The necessary quantity Of arms aud
ammunition, and as many of their num-
bsr; tired Of delay. were daily leaving the
camp, it was given out on Tuesday thai
the posse would leave the encampment al
daybreak rliesnext "Wednesday )Inorning
and march for Nauvoo. The officers, Ills
said have one hundred writs on as, many
individuals in Nauvoo, which they expires:
their determination 10 serve, even if j,
was found necessary 10 enter the town BY
force. Iu Nauvoo, there is said TO be from
FIVE to six hundred Mormons under arms
determined on resistance. They have
several pieces of cannon, and the temple
has been fortified. We yet entertain hope;
that matters have been amicably adjus
ted but should both parties have perse'
vered 10 their avowed objects, desperate
action must have already taken place be-
tween them. We shall probably be ad
vised Of the result TO morrow.

Mormon War.-The steamer Alyarado
came down yesterday evening, and her
officers report that the rumors as TO the

wounded on the part of the anti Mormons.
However, on Saturday. another battle
took place. In the morning two cannons
wero 6redat the anti-Mormon camp from
the city, but the shot was not returned.-
Afterwards the Anti Mormons sent white
flag TO make certain propositions for the
adjustment of their difficulties. which
were refused by the opposite party. The

Free sTrade.-Macauley,in his address
to the electors of Ediuburg, at the hus:
tings, alluded in the following manner to
the commerce of this country: s',!'.'''2
at is my firm belief, that the great
principle of freedom of trade is the real,
the salutary antagonist Of. war. g Itisimy
belief ihatifever in the course of ages we
shall find nations asreeing-to adjust differ
eIces not by the sword but by arbiira-
tion, that if the. grea'es, Of all evils, hi'h-
erto perhaps necessary one. but still the
greatest of all evils which man has inflicted
upon man, shall ever disappear from The
world, it will be through The ageacy of
commercial freedom that such consumnia-
lion will be accomplished; and / Believe
that this pledge, this. first Of our en-.
trance upon a sound system Of trade. is
that treaty which has vexed war be-
tween the two kindred nations, and which
will, trust, leave 10 them henceforth no
other object OF dispute than the emulation
which Of the great British family shall do
more TO extend the blessings of civiiza'
