THE PRrvArEER QrEsrIoy.-Mr. Critien-
den submitted to the Senate on Monday,
the 9th Instant, the following resolutions:
Hcsoired, That, in the judgment Of ,the
Senate, the complete exemption of vessels
Of commerce and their cargocs from sciZ-
urc or capture in time Of war would be a
signal blessing to mankind; and that to
the accomplishment Of an end 50 desirable,
the Senate will always be ready to give
their hearty aid and cooperation.
Rcsolrei, That the mere abolition Of priva-
teering would not accomplish that end, but
would in its operations be unequal and
unjust, dcpriving the United States of Il
most ellectual means Of hostility and re-
taation against superior naval power,
which, by means Of its greater number Of
public ships, might almost with impunity
destroy or cripple our commerce, and there
fore such abolition alone would be incon-
sistcnt with the policy and interest Of the
United States.
Resolrcd, That this policy of the United
States, coincding with the general interest
of mankind, is well explained and vindica-
ted in the statesman like letter Of the
American Secretary of Safe, Mr.. Marcy,
to the Count de Sartiges, of July 2sth,
1856.
Resoired, therefore, That the course pur-
sued by President Pierce, as stated in his
last annual message, in reference to certain
rules or principles of maritime law in time
of war, agreed upon apdSlcclared by, pleni-
potentiaries of Russia, France, Great
Britain, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, and
Turkey, and submitted to him for adoption
by this Government, meets the cordial ap-
probation and occurrence of the Senate.
