Proposed IsInea of Letters OF Marc TIC
by shc United States government.

From the Lon. Shipping Gaz. Sept l8
A Nova Scotian cgtemparlry, received
by the last mail, contains an extract from
the Newfoundland Royal Gazette, for
which it appears that the governor ofthat
colony has received a dispatch from the
Duke Of Newcastle, dated the lst ult !,
intimatins that Earl Russell chad been
informed by the American minister in
London, that it it is the intention of
the United States government to issue
letters Of marque, in view of checking the
hostilities carried on by Southern priva-
teers agains, the United States COM
meree' This information the Duke OF
Newcastle has thought it right to com.
munleate without delay to the governors
of Newfoundland and New Brunswick, as
e serious Inconvenience may result to
BRUSH commerce from such a measure. =
The pr9alptiiHde of the colonial secretary
is coIamendable, but ii is some what strange
that information SO intimately conserving
the carrying trade of this country, should
have been left to find it's way here from
our North American colonies.
From the Liverpool Mercury Sept. II. ).
We announced week or two ago thai
Mr. Adams, the federal minister in Eng
land, had informed Earl Russell that i
wns the snten.iea &c II ff5ss=iurrt I1r1ruiun u
issue letters of marque for the purpose O
checking the hostilities carried on BY the
confederate privateers. The Newfound
land Gazette publishes a dispatch from
the Duke of Newcastle, which inforlns
the colonial government of President Lin
coins intention. The London shipping
Gazette of last evening, complainssstha
the communication made by Mr.. Adams
has not appeared in any of the semi -cfi
cial journals in England "a fact, We be
lieye, and thinks that increased incon
venienee to neutral commerce will result
from Northern privateers.

After nearly one year and half in a

APEACE COMMISSION.

Considerable excitement was created
yesterday by teeming rumors based on the
afternoons dispatch of rebel Peace Com
mission en- route for Washington, and the
story grow as it passed from mouth to
mouth until last evening it had assumed
the magnitude of an oraatstice dctualty de-
clared. Elsewhere We publish the dispatch
in question, and paragraph from Rich
mond paper, stating that the proposition
to send such a commission was recently
indeed before the rebel Congress. We
do not regret the rumor of yesterday, ac-
cepted as . test. They brought out 10y
al men strongly, even those of the bunker
stripe. and all were long and loud in de-
nunciation Of any measure looking toward
dishonorable peace. Peace purchased

of your premises, peace bought Of high

pronounced quite as satisfactory as peace
on any terms made with JEFF Davis and
his gang, short of their unconditional sur
render.
The nation wants peace, but more thar
we want peace, we want country. The

without the surrender Of even one foot o

1t is said that good many vessels of

Monroe on the 18th that the preparations
which have been made in Hampton Roads
for the rebel steamer Merrimac are now go
complete that no fear is felt as to the result
of another contest, should she leave Norfolk
harbor The Monitor also, it is believed,
would be able to sink her, but even if that
little vessel should fail, other measures are
in contemplation to insure a victory. 1t is
rumored that the Merrimac will be run down

REJECTED The nominations OF Daniel
f. Sickles and Paul II. George as Briga-
dier-G Generals, were rejected by the Sen
ate yesterday. The complaints against
Sickles were, absence from his command,
habits of dissipation. and familiarity with
persons suspected Of treason. George has
been acting as the Qaartermaster OF Gen.
Buffers division, in New York. It's al
legged of him that he exhibits the most
reckless disregard OF the lives and COM
forts of soldiers, having put the water for
the vessels in the ship Island expedition
into oil casks which had not been cleaned
nor scraped, and that he recently sent off
several regiments ca board sailing trans
ports, withor: = round Of ammunition, -
The friends of Mr.. Sickles will make an
earnest effort to have the action in his
case econ,ilered-but Mr., George Is
generally considered AS having "sone up
