A The assumption of the soljcitOr.General that
the obligation OF Great Britain to prevent such
acts of piracy a. those Of tho Alabama and
Florida (Oreto) is created and limited By boz
own Neutrality and Law, We cannot assent TO-
Such, certainly, was not tho decision Of our
own Government when Washington. defying
gust of popular passion, prohibited the fitting
out of French privateers in our ports TO cruise
against British commerce under the auspices
of Citizen Genet. Now, docs it accord with
our course with regard to " tho General Ad-
miral," built at this port for tho Russian Cor.
ernment, under q contract made prior TO the
late Crimean War, but which the builders
were forbidden to deliver till after tho close Of
the war. These are but indications Of our set
tied policy. The ympathies Of our people
were with Russia in that contest; yet no vessel
was or could have been constructed and fitted
out here to cruise under Russian commission
against British commerce. Yet the Solicitor
! General secs fit to sneer at our Government
because its course in promptly forbidding the
departure of the General.Admiral was not fol-
lowed by the British in the case of the Alabama.

OF course, Lord Palmerston eyertops his
subordinate in unfairness and insolence. The
Solicitor. General has spoken throughout Of
the United States o. tho complaining party
but Palmerston seems to have at best but
distant, visiting acquaintance with any such
power. The advocates Of the NORTH" he re-
peatedly calls the British friends Of the Union;
and he opens his demonstration a. follows

We pray the British People TO remember
that, for the present, these Piratical outrages
are regarded in this country as the acts. not Of
the many but of the few; but acquiescence in
them By the Millions will incite and diffuse an
indignation which generations may be required
