| chievyous interferences with the natural liberties of man- kind and with the free course of trade; and it is the duty as well asthe interest of a rational government not to ea them at all beyond the limits of strict necessity {2 the prosecution of hostilities. At the very moment that war was declared, on the 28th of March, the Queen of England and the Emperor of the French gave the world » striking proof that they intended as far as possible to mitigate these evils. A de- claration was simultaneously tied, tn the name of both crowns, to the effect that the neutral flag would be allowed to trade and to cover the enemy’s property, with the sole exceptions of trade to blockaded ports, or of trade in contraband of war, or the conveyance of the of- ficers or despatches of the enemy; and it was added that the enemy’s flag would not condemn neutral property, and that letters of marque would not at pre- sent be issued. This declaration, which cannot be too much considered by those who are interested io thie subject at home and abroad, at once disposed of a very large class of the cases on which the legal fession had already bestowed considerable atten- fon. It amounis, in fact, to a complete revolution in the law with respect to neutrals, as administered by our maritime courts in former wars, We admit the Principle that the neutral flag protects the enemy’s goods; Freuch admit the corresponding derogation from their view of the law of mations, that the enemy’s fiag ia not to condemn neutral property. On elther side the greatest possible security is giveméo the neutral trade. We in- sist on this point, because we already perceive with re- t that an attempt is made by some of the anti-English Fiction 1m the United States to pen old sores, and to mis- represent, in toto, the policy proclaimed by ‘the British and French governments at bir outset of ne Mea 2 eon at the very moment when so large a concession has been made by this country to neutral interests, it implies something worse than ignorance to distort these measures {nto a cause of hostility, The Americans are apt to say that they have adopted as a nation the principle that “free ships make free goods.’’ It is true they have done so by treaty with several States ; but in no coun- try has the contrary maxim been more sturdily defended by 1 writers, or more strictly administered hag admiralty courts. Under the existing instruc- established under the declaration of the 28th of March, the right of search will be strictly confined to the search for contraband of war, the transport of which by a neutral to a belligerent is obviously incon- sistent with the neutral character, and constitutes a violation of those very rights and obligations which neu- ‘tral States are most interested in defending. Accord- ingly, the neutral States of Europe have already res- to these liberal measures of the belligerents, by atrict prohibitions of the export of contraband of war, and by assurances of their ess to conform to rules which must be highly advantageous to themselves. The Americans have not the slightest ground of apprehen- sion or complaint; for we cannot suppose that they will it the Russian nts who are actively employed the United Btatos to avail themselves of the liber- ties of that country, against a cause which has the undivided support of every free people in Europe, ‘This concession having been made by the maritime Powers which will undoubtedly have during this war the command of the sea, it seems to us very difficult for them ‘to stop at that point. If the enemy is to have the bene- fit of oe tae eee neutruls wherever his ports are ‘open, and the neutral is to carry on not only his own trade with the enemy, but the general trade which the its can no longer pursue, the position, both of the enemy and of the neutrals, would become more favor- able that of the maritime Powers themselves, if their subjects are prohibited, under pain of confiscation, from following the same course of commercial intercourse where it is open, Can it be arguedor maintained thai a neutral fast is tree to carsy. Russian property all over the world, and even bring it to a British port, but that a British ship, having taken Russian’ pro- @uce on board in a neutral rt, but not the perty of a neutral, is liable to seizure and condemna- in by # British or French cruiser and court of prize? It eannot be intended to pursue a system so clearly in- jurious to ourselves, and to make war on our own mer- ‘chants by way of bringing the Crar to reason. The very first question that presents itself on the declaration of war is the means of bringing away British property al- ready purchased and ready for shipment in Russian ports; and, as faras we are concerned, every facility ‘which can be given without defeating the objects of a blockade ought to be given for that object. Practically, we believe the amount of this property is not very large, for almost all the houses enga; in the Russian trade wisely refused their advances last year, and those who went money Russia were perfectly aware of the risk they ran, and speculated on the chance of high prices if they got their cargoes out. Moro- cover, it is probable the Emperor of Russia will sottle the uestion for us by an embargo, as he has already stopped e export of grain from the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff. The belligerents will peony be able to answer these measures by a very close blockade, and, if the Russian government will let nothing out, we shall take care to let nothing in. But, apart from these direct Measures of war, which are necessary to curtail the | resources of the enemy, our next object ought to be to touch as lightly as possible on those of our own national interests which are inevitably affected by the war. For this purpose we cannot doubt that the government will adhere as far as possible to the enlarged principles of commercial freedom which have already raised the pace erties of unexampled prosperity in peace, and which may now mitigate and avert some of the most widely felt evils of a state of hostilities. It ia not by ficets and armies, or on fields of battle alone, that victories are won and the hardships of war endured. To take a more homely view of the subject, the increased prices of raw material, the rise of indirect taxation, the | extinction of some kinds of industry, and interference with trade, are national trials, aa well as the peril and the suffering of great fights, though they must be borne without enthusiasm, and overcome with- out glory. We trust, however, that in the present state _ of the world we may overcome these evils to a great ex- tent by a liberal policy. In former contests this country has endeavored to draw the restrictions and prohibitions of war to their utmost limit; but a change of equal mag- nitude has taken place in the policy of war, asin that of and the true object of an enlightened nation ought be to carry on hostilities with the least possible in- terference with the rights, the industry, and the com- merce of the people.

DAWKINS. Major Stawiarski, 43 Grigg street, Southsea, Ports mouth, | OPERATIONS OF THE RUSSIANS IN THE PACIFIC, ANTICIPATED NAVAL CONFLICT IN THAT SEA. {From the London News, April 15.] Russia has been in the habit of maintaining a perma- nent naval force in the North Pacific. It has had a cou- ple of so-called men of war (one of them a ci-devant north-country collier) to make yearly Voyages between Okhotsk and Awatsha, and one or two frigates have generally been sent in the course ef as many years to But Russia has at’ present a war squadron in these seas, the force and whereabouts of which it is difficult to ascertain, with precision. On the 10th of February last the Russian steamer Vostok paid a fiying visit to Shanghae. To this visit we are indebted for the information that Admiral Pontiatin, with the main force of the Russian squadron, was at that time off Nanga- saki, for which port the Vostok sailed again next day. The avowed object of the Admiral is to negotiate with the Japanese government for the opening of its territo- ries to foreign commerce; and if the news brought to Shanghae by the Vostok is to be credited, ne has sue- ceeded in obtaining a favorable answer from the Emperor in anticipation of the arrival of Commodore Perry with the American squadron. This favorable auswer, how- ever, appears toamount to little more than that wooding and watering shall continue to be connived at as hither- to, and that in a short time—say in the course of a year or so—open trade with Japan shall be permitted. But it is evident from the wovements of the Russian war-ships that Japan is not the only object of their rendezvous fa ‘They have been flying about in all the Northern Pacific. directions, peeping into the most important British har- Vors, Some time ago we heard of the Russian frigate Dwina having ventured so far south as to take a flyin survey of the hartor of Sydney; and several vessels of the “Russian squadron appear to have _ recently made a more deliberate examination of Singapore. ‘The squadron. is on the point of receiving rein- forcements; ps-of-war are known to be at this moment on thelr way to the North Pacilie, and, unless winds and tides have been particularly ad: verse, or their sailing qualities yery indiiferent, indeed, must by this time be well on to the channels which load from the Asiatic archipelago into the Pacitie Ocean, To look after this Russian force we have the British ships.of- war on the Pacific station and in the Chinese waters. We have seen no recent authentic account of the move- ments of the former; the latter number, accoriing to the latest accounts, fifteen vessels of various sizes—ships, brigs and steamers, carrying in all 243guns. There isno reason to fear that our naval force in those seas is inado- quate to cope with the Russian; but much will depend upon whether the Russian or British armaments first receive intelligence of the declaration of war. ‘The naval war waged by the Russians in those seas is sure to be a buecaneering one: pouncing upon our merchant versels, confident that their own are too few in num- ber, and too inconsiderable in value, to adnud of our making reprisala to any considerable extent. If the British government +do its duty, the priority of intelli- ence must of necesaity fall to’ the lot of our cruisers. fiy the overland mail the news can be conveyed to lage: pore and Hong Kong, and to the principal Australian ports in less time than the Russian government ean at this season transmit it overland to Okhotsk; and it will take the Russians almost as long a time to forward the news from Okbotek to Nangasaki as from St. Petersburg to Okhotsk. With due energy on the part of our govern. ment, the Russian naval commander has no chaace of learning the actual declaration of wat except from our ships. It is barely possible—certainly not probable— that an express to ama, and thence direct across the Pacific, might forestall us. It is therefore possible for the British naval force in the waters of the Pacific to take the enemy by surprise, and thus liberate our mer- chants and shipowners—home and colonial—from the anxiety that begins to’ haunt them. But to this end it will have been requisite that intimation should have been despatched to our naval stations by the overland mail which left England on the 24th of larch, that the formal declaration of war was to be is. sued in three or four daye; and by the mail which left on the Sth inst., that the declaration had Leen actually is- sued. are strange times which we live in; when it is possible that some of the first shots fired in the war may be in the remote Pacific. pprehenslons, wo observe, are entertained at Sings- re that a coup de main may be struck at their unforti ied town by a detachment from the Russian sqnadron. Of courre,as sowe Russian ships have been examining the road, this matter ought not to. be entirely disregarded; bat there nppears but slender ground for any fear on (his score. The Russians are not likely to en’ le them- selves among the narrow channels of the Asiatic Archi- pelago, with the soundings and currents of which they are not familiar, so long as there are French and English men-of-war both in the Pacific. and Indian Oceans, A .at Sidney or Mel. bourne would be a little more feasible; but the main Russian foree will uot venture so fi Ayan, Okhotek, and Awatsha, which mi guardianship ere long: and for One or two of their veesels to run the gauntlet of French and English cruiaors as far as the sou hern coasts of Australia, ia scarcely to be thought of. Were we unhappily at war with the United States, we have no doubt that such an enterprise might | te undertaken, but it is too adventurous for Rassian | i mariners. ‘There is, however, a risk to our mercantile shipain the Pacific and t Tooke’ choy the North Facisic should be which will re nite to be oan) he Chinese waters fwept from tho seas, or i | The Court had no objection to the ponred.upin Awetshe, The government at Washington as declared—and awe repose implicit confidence in its sincerity and honor—that no vessels shall be allowed to be equipped in its harbors for the Russian service; that none of its ships or citizens shall be allowed to ac. cept those piratical commissions called letters of marque from Russia. Allalong the Atlantic sea-board and the Gulf of Mexico we have uo doubt that this determination of, the United States preome jut wit he loyally and efficiently carried into effect, the anomalous population of Cali thinly-peopled coasts from the the northern frontier of Oregon, it may not be possible for the government of the Uuitod States to give effect to its good intentions. There is already a pretty considera- ble gathering of daring and unscrupulous adventurers in thore regions, and the force at the command of the Wash- ington government to control them is literally nil. Such desperate and abandoned characters may not only make themselves brokers to supply Russia with ships and stores in the Pacific, but may fake upon them when occa- sion offers to sailiand act under the Russian fag. There are, we know, some dogmatical and peremptory politi- cians among us who would at once propose to cut this Gordian knot, by declaring that if the Washington gov- ernment cannot control Californians, neither Sught its flag to protect California, Itis easy for declaimers to talk in this fashion, but statesmen cannot net thus. Regard must be had to the position of the government. The American, more than any other, is dependent upon the popular will: and how sensitive the national mind is in the United States; how easy it would be in the western—tho backwoods, prairie, and Pacific States—to rouse a dangerous feeling against any govern- ment that should ncquiesce in self-help by England to the extent suggested, is obvious. A quarrel with America is at all timesto tescrupulously avoided, as far as is con- sistent with national honor, and particularly at a moment when we have Russia actually in hand, with Prussia and Austria hanging in the wind. We know the danger to Which we are exposed, and it is our part to guard agai itas best we may. There can be no doubt as to the fa- cilities whieh the peculiar position of California affords to Russia of letting loose a horde of buccaneers upon our merchantmen; and quite as little of the readiness of that uneerupulous government to grasp af any means of an- noying and embarrassing us. All such adventurers are fair game on thehigh seas; and if the French and Eng- lish cruisers in the North Pacific are reasonably on the alert, a few striking examples at the outset will suffice to cool the courage of the res' ie of THE VERY LATEST.

Loxpox Monsy Maxket, Tuesday Evening, April 18. —The English stock market maintains much steadi- ress, owing to a very marked pressure for stock for the ‘settlement. In this respect, the monthly sgpttle- ment now in progress in consol market presents some features of extreme importance. As much as 3 yer cent, (or at the rate of 6 per cent per annum,) has been paid to-cay for the lonn of stock till the May account, owing to the arrangement of some specula- tive accounts of magnitude having been delayed till to-day, whilst the withdrawals of stock from the market by investors have been heavier than was anticipated. It is obvious that the speculation for lower prices has been greatly extended during the past month, and has now reached larger dimensions than fora long time past. Were it not for the late heavy loans of stock by the Bank of England, and other large holders, the scarcity at the settling would have been still more felt, and the speculators for a fall more severely pressed. ' It is @ re- markable fact, however, that in the face of this gencral demand for stock, the disposition to effect speculative sales for the May’ account remains apparently as strong as ever, although the present scarcity must have a pow- erful influence in propping up prices, and will certainly tend te induce speculators who have’ already soli to buy back on any favorable opportunity. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent Rentes closed both for money and account at 63.40 ; the Four-and-Half per Cents at 90.10 ; and Bank shares at 2,625. These prices show steadiness. Business on the other Continental bourses is suspended by the holiday season. For the new account of the 11th May, Consols were first quoted 87% to 4%, thence declined to 87%, and were quoted at’ the official close 87!; to At ‘Sovelock the price had receded to 873% to 35; but subsequently there were again buyers at the latier fraction.

Blankman and Park ap- peared at counsel for the complainants. The argument of the cavee upon the bill and answer was postponed until the Sth instant; but the defendant’s counsel in- sisted that in the meantime, as the Commissioners were obliged to move from their offices in Chambers street, and had no place in which to receive emigrants other than those fey had selected in Franklin street, and at the corner of Canal and Centre streets, if the injunction continued it would operate with great hardship upon them, and they would be obliged to into the street. fendants moving whieh it was not the object of the hat they must not receive emigrania 2b0'L.jsug hon Was therore their furniture there, bili to prevent, but ¢ ate ecntinved, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET, Moxpay, May 1—6 P. M. At the First Board to-day the stock market was blue enough. Some of the leading fancies fell off a half and three-quarters per cent. Erie Railroad was freely offered ata decline of one-half, and sales to some extent were _ made at that depreciation. There was not much activity in any other fancy, but the market closed heavy and de- pressed. Delaware and Hudson fell off 114 per cent; Canton Company, 34; New York Central Railroad, %{; Hudson River, 14; Harlem, 44; Michigan Central Rail- road, #4; Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, %. Crystal Palace advanced 2 per cent; Reading Railroad, 5. | After the adjournment of the Board, the following | sales of stocks and bonds were made at auction by A. H.

A few out- siders were taken with the announcement that cotton was up, and breadstuffs were up, and consola were up. But knowing operators, and the mercantile community generally, were not deceived by the statement. With respect to two out of the three staples mentioned, it was practically untrue, Breads‘uff, it is true, rose some 64, per 170 Ibs. the day before the steamer sailed; but after the fluctuations the last few months have witnessed, this movement was really unworthy of notice. From the best accounts, cotton does not appear to have moved. It has hel own simuly from the fact that there was little or no speculation in the article at the time. Hold- ers, unwilling to sell at a loss, refused to part with their stock at the prices warranted by the state of commercial affairs; and buyers, naturally foreseeing the obvious diminution in the home and continental demand, would not operate without a material concession from sellers, ‘The funds have risen a fraction, in consequence of the demand created by the shorts for the fulfilment of their | contracts. The most sanguine money writers in London admit that without this consols would have undergone a sensible decline. In point of fact, during the past three months the price of consols has been a most unsafe guide—a most untrue reflex of the British money market. From the time when the war became probable, specu- lators began to sell short, and, as frequently hap- pens, they old more than they could purchase at the market rates when their contracts came due. Hence we have had, as a general rule, a slow but steady decline in price, owing to tho state of political affairs; with fitful advances, caused by the maturing of numer- ous large contracts simultaneously. We learn from a London cotemporary that, had it not been for the loans of stock put out by the bank, consols might have closed pares 0 than &8; and such an occurrence seems quite | possible. Whena fall in a leading stock is inevitable | under ordinary circumstances everybody sells; and it often happens that the very anxiety of the bears to run it down keeps it up for some months. So far as the real state of the money market is concerned, our apprehen- sions expressed last week are fully confirmed. Specie continues to be exported to the Continent at such rates at times as one million per day; and there is a general reluctance to embark in any speculative schemes. In the present condition of affairs, men who have money don’t went to invest it in stocks which the news of a battle may knock down ten or twenty per cent. Money is easy in Paris, in consequence of the drain on the department in favor of the bank, which regulates the price. This may fairly be expected to last a fortnight. As soon as specie begins to be exported to the seat of war, the rate of interest at the Bourse is more likely to be six per cont than anything clse. A visible tightening of our domestic money market is quite apparent. Money is offering at the usual rates on call, but no one will part with his funds for any length of time without exorbitant interest and emple security. At the second board there was uo improvement in the market; but, on the contrary, in some of the fancies further depreciation. Harlem fell off 4 per cent. Parke Vein, 34; Pennsylvania Conl, 14; Nicaragua, 1{; Eri Railroad, 14; New York Central Railroad, 14; Readin Railroad, 3¢; Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, 1. Mining stocks are dull. A few good mining share maintain their price, but the bulk of stocks may be hai for a few cents. The following were the bids at the now little above fourteen millions sterling. The de- crease in the ‘rest’? is owing to the sum which has ac- erued as dividends on bank stock having been transferred tion to the sum sent on Thursday, a further amount of about £80,000 has been despatched to-day. ‘The undermentioned vessels are known to be on their way from Australia to England, with gold on board, viz.:-— Name. Harbinger (s. st.). Sovereign of the © Blackwall. Melbourne Kate. Kangaroo. Victoria. Highbury Joshua Royal Shephi Thames....... ‘This gives a total, (exclusive of the two vessels last named,) of 197,2€0 ounces, or about £789,000. The steamer Harbinger, above referred to, homeward bound from Sydney and Melbourne, left (St. Vincent’s on the 81st March for Southampton, and may therefore be hour- ly expected. The accounts of the state of trade in the manufac turing towns during the week ending April 15, present nothing for remark. At Manchester the tendency has been toward steadiness; but, owing to the approach of Faster, searcely any amount of business has Leen trans- acted, At Birmingham the quarterly meetings of the ironmasters have terminated without any alteration being resolved upon, although the market shows in- creasing firmness. In the general business of the place ther is full employment, but the high price of bread causes soune increase of pauperism. From Nottingham the report shows dulness, and in the woollen districts alvo there has been an absence of animation. The Irish linen trade has exhibited activity.
