Russian PriNaferrs-

The French Courier Of New York SAYS that two
months ago, some sensation was created among Ger.
tain papers by the arrival there Of seven or eight Rus
sian offcers-naval and military. The naval officers
it was said, came to supervise the building of two
steamers which Russia had ordered-though the
number seemed out Of all proportion to the object
and the military officers including General of Bri>
gade, IL was said, TO enlist several regiments nj
Americans to fight the battles of the Car. This
startling announcement made credulous people omen
their eyes-sensble people shrug their shoulders; but
after moments consideration it was deemed so i'm.
probable, that nothing more was thought or sid
about il.
The Courier says, however, that the news-,nouo
ers were much the truth than they were aware
They had the thread Of the secret, and if tIev had
followed il TO the end they would have asceytaino
what tbeleyes to be the real facts of the case Those
Russian officers it has good reason to believe came
here not to recruit soldiers but marnes-ond ore n,
this time actively engaged in New York and other
American ports, not in forming regiments but in mr.
ganizing and aiming privateers As soon as the re-
port Of tho first shot between the allied 1oo
in the Euxine and the Russians reaches our shoros
fleet Of prvatcers, bearing the Russian fac. will
issue from our ports and assal French and English
merchantmen
The Courier thinks that such vessels. o,tbou,,
bearing the authority Of Russia, will be neither more
nor less than Pirates and should be and will III. deol
with accordingly.
IL admonishes our Government of the disc,od,
which will attach to it, IL il permits such ar,o,,ne,,s
to take place within waters and To issue from nm
ports-and Of the danger Of thereby involving
try in the general war about to take place Perbans h
CZar has been prompted in this movement os ,D,c,
by the hope Of drawing us into his quarrel "a lao III,
wish 10 create an active priyateerng fleet tn d,m,,
his adversaiies.
The Courier Is n paper conducted with great cool
meas and discretij and it would not give coun.
tonance to these reports II il did not consider then
well founded.
IL certainly behooves our Government to be unor
the qf pire, aud prevent II possible, any such uu
lawful proceedings lis our policy, above all thing
20 preserve rigid neutrality in this great contest
Both parties will strive to enlist us;-and We shout,
therefore, be the careful to guard against III
possibility Of such result Good faith and a iu
regard TO our true interests both demand that "
should not only be strictly ucutral-but not perm
ourselves to be used by either side directly or ind
recuy, for the injury Vi the other

and in noting that Mr. johnson Of Bedford interposed an
objection remarked that the fact that he obeo IL pre-

subject. The Senator from Bedford replies 10 this In the
Enquirer OF yesterday stating that he moved to Law the
resolution OF NJ DeneSle the table and gave his rea
sons In the Senate which were that the seasiop OF the
Senate would expire by limitation in little over two weeks
ththere was vast of unfinished business on the
