advantage over the beseigers. But it was the courage of desperation, for this effort was their last No sooner were the outer works taken, which laid the town and the port al the mercy of the allied forces than the men-ofwar and steamers in the harbor were all set on fire, blown up sunk, or destroyed, by the fire of the allied batteries or by the orders of the Russian au- thorities
 Such was the fate of the Russian Black sea fleet, on which the imperial government had expended incalculable sums of money and ln- cessant labor, that fleet which two years ago ignored the very existence of the Turkish Elm pire, but whose solitary naval achievement was the atroclous outrage upon a far inferior force at Sinope. Of the authors of that nefarious at- tack what remains? The Emperor Nicholas sleeps in the vaults of St. Peter and St. Paul, no longer conscious of the chastisement his wicked ambition has brought down on his en- pire and his heirs. The admirals who com handed, and the crews who fought on that oc- casicn have most of them fallen in the batte- res of Sebastopol The very ships for which Russia contended at the conferences of Vienna as essential 10 her dignity and power are torn plank from, and scattered upon the waves.- The dock yard and arsenal were already, on Sunday in possession of the allied troops; Prince GorSschakof had, 1t seems, solicited an armlS- tice, though we know not whether it was grant ed; but his troops were hurrying away with the utmost precipitation; and, considering the mo- ral and physical results of such defeat upon the remnant of his army, it may be doubted whether the Russian General can attempt to make any further stand on the north side of the harbor.
 THE RESULT OF THE vICTORY-PosITIoN OF THE
 RUSSIAN ARMY.
 The London Times of the 18th says: The courage, the perseverance, and the incessant la- bors of the allied armies have already disposed of the arguments of those who contended that Sebastopol was impregnable until it should be invested, and that the Russian soldiers were in- vineibls within it's redoubts. It now appears

Flying from rel gous persecution, one amongst their first acts oflegislation was provision for perfect religious freedom. On the 21st of April, 1646, they passed this statute:
 "And whereas the enforcing of the consci ence in matters of religion has frequently fal len out to be ofdangerous consequence in these commonwealths where it has bee practiced anC for the more quiet and peaceable government of this province and the better to preserve mu. tual love and amity among the inhabitants, nc person within this province protesting to be- lieve in Jesus Christ shall be by any way troubled, molested, or discountenanced from his or her religion, or in the free exercise there 1 of"
 This was done. too, as history tells us, "witl the earnest concurrence of their Governor, and of the proprietary" Sir George Calvert, who we are also told, in an age when religious con troversy still continued to be active, and wher the increasing divisions among the Protestants were spreading general alarm, his mind sough relief from controversy in the bosom of the Ro man Catholic church; and preferring the avow. al of his opinions to the emoluments of office he resigned his place, and openly professed hi. communion"
 Increasing divisions among Protestants!' How much have they since multiplied and how persuasive should the fact be with Protestant for the cause of religious toleration.
 In justification of this political hostility t, the Catholics, it is alleged that they owe par amount allegiance to the Popish See. Suppos, they do, is there anything in that to alarm us Should we be fearful that they would sacrifice the interests of this country to those of Rome or that our liberty could in any measure be en dangered? The temporal government of tn Pope is impotent for aggression. Not able t maintain it at home, he has relied, and yet relic on the aid of other governments.

contrary it is quite probable, that much of
the Rake gold which is found on the bars of

one to go thereon the contrary, think
it vastly better that those who are at home,
should remain, and await the result of ex-

who are now in the mountains, and those
who will be there early in the spring, will
be better qualified at least to advise, than

Rr Ernrrss-Frnm Fort Benton.

PrERsoN-Gov. STEVENS trusty and tried
express rider-arrived here on Tuesday
evening last, direct from Fort Benton
no dispatches for as from the party.
Gov. STEVENS and party had reached
Fort Benton, as we learn from Mr.. Pier
son, all in good health, having traversed
the country throughout, without meeting
any difficulty. The commissioner had ar
rived at the council ground at the time our
informant left, but the goods for distribu'
tion, OIL account Of the treaty, &c, had not
arrived previous to his departure. This
may be accounted for on the ground that
the Missouri river has been lower this year
than it has been known for many years
previous. The goods designed for use at
the treaty were re-shipped at the mouth Of
the Yellow Stone, and were on their way
to Fort Benton in keel boats A large
number of Indians were on the Council
ground, anxiously waiting to be treated
with. The supposition iAno obstacle will
intrude to prevent a treaty of peace and
friendly relationship with the Indians in
that direction-they seeming to be all
friendly, and disposed to be on peaceable
terms with the government.
The party to which Gov. STEVENS is at
tached, numbers, in whites, twenty-five
persons--having in its train large party
of friendly Indians, composed Of Nez Per
ccs, Cayuses and Yakamas On his return,
Gov. STEVENS will, if possible, treat with
the Spokan, the Ceur d'Aleine and Kettle
Fall tribes, by whom the recent massacres
have been committed. PIERsoN thinks
that Gov. STEVENS and party will reach
