Outrages at Sea.

The frequent outrOgcs on our merchant
vessels, committed by British vessels of war;
have aroused a just Indignation throughout
the entire country, and caused the govern
ment to take measures of redress Mt oncc.-A
In several instances our vessels have been
boarded and searched, without as much as an
explanation. Once, We believe, a British Of
tccr failed of his purpose, by the prompt re-
sentiment of the American officer.
1t was such incxcusnblc and outrageous
conduct as this that produced an appeal to
arms between tho United States and Eng
land in 1912, and a similar result must fol-
low these transactions unless reparation be
made. The prosecution of the slave trade,
by American vessels, it is thought has been
the cause of the searches.
The action of Congress, with such particu-
lars as have reached us, will be found in our
columns this week.

The battalion was commanded by Capt. d..

dressed the soldiers aud spectators in short

BY reference to our advertising columnsit
will be seen that MANY of the voters of the
District are determined to support Col, a. p.
CALHOUN for the State Senate" at the cnsu-
ing election. The nomination has been made
by some of tho responsible mnn of the dis
trict, and we understand fair and determ-

Without compromising oursclf the claims or
position of any one, justice requires us to
say that Col CALuouN would ill the position
better, in every respect, than any man in the
District.

THE SLAVE TRADE.

Trom the London limqs, Nov. 5, lsssl

The transactions between France and PorluV.
cannot give occasion for unnxed satisfaction any ONE
of the parties engaged In them France has done hIeh
handed act OF violence and may enjoy the compaeb,
consciousness OF having exercised giant power but ss
has done at the expense of being ranked heneefor

tuga enjoys the dignity Of having suffered force In he

ercing her courts of law, and insulting her SOVEREIGN
England may, perhaps exult little in her superior
righteousness and plume herself the moral back
sdings Of France but she also is without an uneasy
feeling that her dignity has been in way touched IN
this matter and that If she has not been made 10 eat
dirt there has been some intangible Indirect insnuaop
whispered that there somewhere other little po
ton Of dirt ready made up, which under possible
condition OF circumstances might be presented her 10
swallow. The whole matter has been uncomfortable
imbroglio and the preceding difficulties between England
and America arising from the subject less
unpleasant. II seems scarcely probable, indeed that
these occasional outbuts of temper aud interpretations Of
the mayor recur among civilized powers without
leading eventually TO very serious complication
and it is not Improbable at this moment to pass re-
view the position which the maritime nations hold to-
wards each other In this very delicate and dangerous bust
of suppressing the slave trade
must undoubtedly be broadly predcated that accord
ing to the ancient common law Of nations the slave trade
is legal traffic and that power have any

of their carrying slaves This is the old nterna
tonal law of Europe Except far it has been varied
by treaties, it STILL in theory remains in full force But
like common law, which has in SO large
been varied abrogated by special statutes this
principle OF international law has been very much broken
in upon by special treaties These treaties have been
various ia their provisions and transient in their en-.
durance SO far as France and America concerned
they may be said to have expired and To have left no

THE UNITED STATES STEAMER WABASH
III. CONSTANIINOPLE.


Correspondence Of the N Y Journal Of Commerce.
CoNsTANTINopLE, TURKEY,
October 20, 1858.
The United States steam frgate Wabash arrived here
ten days ago. and will sail in day two for the
of Syria We not little surprised to sec her come
to anchor off the Golden Horn for believe Turkey has
treaty with the European powers that man-of-war
carrying 30 large number Of guns shall pass the Darda
nees, and II ia rumored pretty good authority that
the European legations here urged the Grand Vzer
call the attention of the American minister to the fact
after the Wabashs arrival But there some doubt
of this, for there much attention paid to
foreign manofwar in this port as has been paid to the
Wabash by the Turkish authorities. The officers
received by the Grand Vzier and by several other minis
tiers of the Sultan last week They dned yesterday with
the Capidan Pacha at his palace up the Bosphors after
having been given audience by the Sultan himself at
his beautiful palace in the city To-day the Sultan has
visited the Wabash with many of his ministers and SUITE
and the national consideration accorded to the American
rgate is marked beyond all precedent in such cases.
1t quite clearly appears that the European governments
represented here jealous overmuch and that they
have abocd together most ndutriousy to prevent the
Wabash from remaining here. But the personal attcn
ons of the Sultan and his ministers, and especially his
army and navy officers show that they have abored in
vain.
will be gratifying to the friends of Mchemet Pasha
who visited the United States few months ago. know
that he has spared no pains to render the stay of the Wa
bash at Consantnope in all respects most agreeable
her officers and advantageous to the Of the
United States
we We're all astonlshed TO see SO much feeling mani
tested sb by the European legations here against
the prolonged stay of the Wabash But then it is easily
accounted for In their jealousy of influence with the
Sublime Porte The Sultan remained board the Wa
bash nearly hour the yards handsomely manned
and two royal salutes fired.
The officers of the Wabash give glowing descriptions of
their reception at the Suans palace and the grand din
that given them by his minister's who reside in
the magnificent palaces which line the Bosphorus
AS close my letter, the Wabash is getting up steam
and am informed that she sails to night for Syria
His excellency James Williams, the American minister
here, and consngenea Brown have participated in the
festivities occasioDed by the arrival of the Wabash.
Flag officer Lavallette expects to find the Macedonian
at Bcyrout when he arrives there with the Wabash.

ures, killed several Of the horses. This the
origin Of hostilitics, as very sure viii be
shown by the official documents whenever they are
consulted. Yet the Ltigeacer and its correspondent
apparently take part with the Nayajoes and condemn
the officers Of the army. They would bring this war
to an end by presents and entreaties They would
purchase peace by dealing out rewards for murder
aud pilage with lavish hand, and by pocketng IN
suit and outrage with thanks and salaams.
This is not, we sure, the view OF the army
the government. An energetic policy, prompt
stern, and even harsh, as provocation and oircun-
stances may require, is the only which ever
found effective for the preservation of peace and
although the government has intention of embark
ing in system of active with all the Indian
tribes on our frontiers the htelligeneer ground
lessly charges, we arc persuaded that it means to
resent the murder at Fort Defiance, and the butchery
and insult by which Major Hendricks demands
for the delivery of the murderer met, in
ner becoming its own dignity, demanded by the fla
grancy of the crime, and due to its perpetrators and
abettors
