AS the spirit Of Improvement is abroad,
and progress the watchwor6, some of our
cotcmporares and neighbors, with COM
mendable degree of enterprise, have intro
ducod new presses, type and other materials
in their establishments, adding tc the gene.
raj appearance and character of their Jour
nails. The AMERICAN always having been a
progressive paper, and in position and char
ucter second to none in this section Of
country, it was hardly to be expected that
it would lag behind its contemporaries, in a
community rife with the spirit of improve
mcnt. In accordance with these views, the
AMERICAN will appear on or about the ist
Of April, in an entire new dress, and in tone,
character and interest, will be worthy Of
itself, and the patronage Of moral and in
,ellgent people. The publisher also, at the
same time, contemplates making extensive
improvements in the jobbing department of
the Office, by the introduction Of new type,
presses and other machinery. To accom-.
plish this, it will require considerable sum
Of money, and the publisher must, therefore,
in some measure, depend on the numerous
unsettled accounts of the late firm for funds
TO accomplish his purpose, and trusts that
ils friends and patrons will promptly aid
him in his enterprise by prompt remittance.
Mr. Englc having disposed of his interest
and retired from the frn, the AMERICAN
will, hereafter, be conducted by the under
signed, as publisher, who is authorized to
settle and collect whatever amounts may be
due Mr.. Ensle, in the late firm of Masser,
Wilvert & Engle. -.

She IL Seized by the United states Authorities
for Alleged Violation of the Neutrality Laws.
On information lodged with DistriCt-AttOrney
PierpOnt monition was issued yesterday by Judge
Batchford of the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York, commanding
United States Marshal Barlow to seize forthwith the
steamship Quaker City, now known as the Columbia,
which had been lying under strict surveillance for
about three weeks at the foot of East Twelfth
street, e r., for an alleged violation OF the neu-
trality laws OF the United States and to hold her in
custody to await the further orders OF the court The
seizure was made by Deputy United States Marshals
Turney and Penniman about O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. The Government officials decline for the
present to give in detail the specific grounds for
seiZure but there is little doubt that it has been
caused by representations made by the Spanish OFF,
cals in this country, and that these representations
that the Columbia was about to depart on a
mission in violation of the letter and spirit of our
neutrality laws.
The object of the persons who have given the in
formation which has caused the mOnition to issue
for the vessels seizure is only to prevent her
penalty for violating the neutrality laws, the moni-
ton being issued in regular admiralty suit, in
which the vessel is duly libeled, and her cOndemna-
ton sought for the cause mentioned. The next
step on the part of the owners OF the vessel will
probably be an application to have her released
her equipments and cargo but this will doubtless be
strenuousy resisted by the parties ibeing the yes
sell This case, so far, has many features in common
with the celebrated Meteor case. The Meteor it
may be remembered, was seized during the war
between Spain and Chill and Peru having been
lbelled in this port she was about to depart as
alleged, to aid these South American republics
After long litigation, she was cOndemed by Judge
Belts, but this decree subsequently reversed by
