CAPTURES BY FRENCH CRUISERS OF WHITE
WASHED AMERICAN VEssEI-sETHE FRENCH
BLOCKADE EsFEcrrvE.-From the news we have
received from the Gulf it will be seen that the
French blockading vessels have seized, for at
tempted violation of the blockade of the Next
can ports, several vessels that have changed
their dag from American to Mexican, for the
purpose, as they say, to avoid rebel priva-
teers" These seizures Of "whitewashed" ves-
sells are no doubt justifabls and in accordance
with the law of nations. Yet we might, with
equal show OF reason, set up the same cry Of
indignation as John Bull does whenever any Of
his honest vessels are interfered with by our
cruisers, and demand their instant release and
the payment OF damages by the French govern.
ment.
We shall, however, do no such thing. The
French cruisers are doing what is right
precisely what our vesses-of-war would do un-
der similar circumstances-and we can only
warn our vessels not to make the attempt to
break the established blockade of France of the
ports of Mexico; for should they do SO, no sym
pathy for them will be found in our columns.
II Is time that commanders and owners Of
vessels under the flag Of the United States had
learned the necessity Of pursuing only legiti-
mate trade, and the consequences attending
departure therefrom. II, however, they do
know and understand, and are still willing to
run the risk, we can only say 60 on; but do
not, If captured and condemned, endeavor to
raise q storm about IL and claim that you are
| injured men and ruined merchants. Submit to
your loss with good grace, and try it again If
you see it to do 90; but do not ask for condo
lence or endeavor to have our government de-
clare war on your account; for nothing Of
| the kind will follow.
The government OF the United States is pur-
suing decided and just course with those Eng
| iisbmen who endeavor to break our blockade,
and 1t expects that France will do the same
| with our citizens who endeavor to break theirs;
and, although Englishmen who are caught by
our cruisers expect and receive the sympathy
OF tneir own press, those Of our countrymen who
are caught by French nen-of-war may ex
pect, but certainly will not receive, the sympa
Thy Of the press Of the United States, or the
countenance Of the government.

astounding information to Mr. Seward that in
England "perfect freedom to comment upon all
public events is the invariable practice, sane
toned by law and approved by the universal
sense Of the nation"
How are we to interpret such letter from
Earl Russell! We cannot accept it as from
friend, nor as the letter Of an honest neutral
1t is the letter of an enemy, whose neutrality is
the neutrality of compulsion. The tone and
temper, tho style and the argument of Earl
Russell bear not the slightest resemblance to
the genuine expression of the wishes of the En-
peror Of Russia that this war may be brought
to "a speedy and satisfactory conclusion" The
Gar we know to be the friend Of our Union;
England, in thousand ways, and for half
century, has proved herself its designing
enemy. Between the popular institutions and
the commercial and naval power and resources
of the United States on the one hand, and the
feudal aristocracy and commercial and naval
ambition of England on tho other, there has
been and is what Mr.. Seward would call
ian irrepressible conflict" The moral in
fuence of this British aristocracy has been
against us in every available shape and
form since the outbreak of this rebellion, and
this hostility is manifest in this last despatch
Of Earl Russell as in that original and outra-
geous concession of s'beliigerent rights" to
Davis and his piratical confederates
Satisfied however, of England's neutrality,
from necessity, and that this letter of Mr.. Sew
ard will not be barren of good results upon
European public opinion, we can leave Earl
Russell, in reference to the strength and final
success of our cause, to the logic of coming
events. He was evidently pleased with the
results of the late battles near Richmond, and
they justified to some extent his doubts of our
ultimate success; but with the new campaign
inaugurated under General Halleck we expect
soon to convince Earl Russell and her Majes-
tvs government that their only way to our
Southern cotton leads through the city Of Wash
ington.

GOVERNOR SPRAGUE's NEGRO REGMENT.-It
appears from the estimates made by DR.. Snow,
of Providence, from the census of 1860, that
there are in the State of Rhode Island only
seven hundred and thirty-eight able bodied male
negroes between the ages Of eighteen and forty
five-not enough, therefore, to form one regi-
ment, if every one is taken. Governor Sprague
evidently had not seen Mr.. Kennedy g last census
report when he announced that he was going to
raise and head a negro regiment in his State.
These figures effectually dispose Of that question
in the State of Rhode Island, and will give its
young and energetic Governor an opportunity
to attend to other duties, unembarrassed by
negro regiments.

SUBSTITUTES AND REcRUITNG.-We have re-
ceived the following very polite notice from
Provost Marshal Kennedy, and we conceive
that the best way to make it eficacious is to
publish it in our columns, for the benefit of
those who desire to advertise for substitutes,
before the draft begins
OFFICE OF SUpERIN7 EVIDENT or METROPOLITAN PoECg)
SPECIAL Pgovosr MARSHAL,
ALB BRooMg STREET New YoRS, August 21, 1862
JAMES LEONARD. Esq, Deputy Provost Marshall
SIRYou will call upon the publishers OF the several
papers in the cities OF New FORK and Brooklyn, and in
form them that the War Department by order this cay
received regards all attempts procure substitutes the
Anticipation Of draft dscouragng enstnents and
the persons who do their aiders and abettors,
liable to be arrested under the order Of August s. Pub
shing advertisements for such persons with view Of
aiding Their operations is hereafter to be regarded
rendering the publisher liable to such arrest You will
inform them that call is TO put them on their guard
and relieve this Office from the performance Of the un-
pleasant duty. JOHN A. KENNEDY,
Special Provost Marshal.
We have no doubt whatever that the effect of
advertisements for substitutes is indirectly to
hinder enlistments, and we are glad that the at
tention of the authorities has been directed to
this matter before it assumed any very extern
sive proportions. Some men, who are exempt
from draft, but capable of military
duty, might refrain, and induce others
to refrain, from enlisting because such
advertisements had given them an exaggerated
idea of the necessity and the value Of substi-
tutes The rebels have suppressed the procuring
of substitutes by agents under very severe
penalties, and probably for the same reason, as
may be seen from the following

Those who are holding back to sell themselves

bounty money and the premium they expect.
They had much better make sure of their money,

CLOSE THE SroREs---One of the very brief,
concise and practical resolutions adopted at
the mass meeting yesterday advised that all
the stores in this city be closed at three o'clock
P. NJ daily until the 18th of September, in
order to give all citizens chance to aid voiun-
teering and perfect themselves in drill. This is
good suggestion, and we hope that it will be
generally carried into effect. The plan has
already been adopted in the Eastern and some
of the Western States, and has been found to
work admirably, all the people laboring to
bring up recruits to fill up the old and start off
the new regiments. New York ought not to be
behind other cities in patriotism. Close the
stores and crowd the enlistment Offices. Let
the metropolis be formed into monster Camp
OF Instruction for the next two weeks.
