2 The British Recruiting in the United States. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STAT2S. FRIENDS AND NaiGuuors :—The newspapers in somo of the Atlantic cities of the United States have, of late, teewed with articles having referenve to British recruit- ing in this country, in which it has been throazhout as- sumed that her Britannic Majesty’s agents were doing something which they had noi a right to do, and ia vio- lation of your laws. it is due to the government and people of the United States, and to all the parties concerned, Ubet this matter should be (aitly understood. It i» due to those who may desire to take service under the British crown that they phould understand it, A few brief explanations may, therefore, be useful wt the present moment. . ‘he Btish Vavtiament passed, a few months ago, what is called the Foreign Enlistment Act. By this act, her Majesty's government was empowered to raise, either in nd or elsewhere, a Foreign Legion, to serve with the British army abroad, under the same rules ani regu- lations—the officers and men to be entitled to the same pay and allowances as those received by British troops. Porliament, | presume, had a it to pass this law, and the Queen to give herassent to it, British Ministers have the rane right to act upon it which the American Secretary of State hud to draw into the army which con- quered Mexfoo, English, Ish, and Scetchmen, French- men, Poles, and Hun; ‘A few weeks ago His Excetlevcy the Lieatenant Gover- vor of Nova Ssotia, Sir John Gaspard Le Marchant, was duly empowered to raise, in Halifax, the capital of the Province which hegoverus, regiments to be incorporated into the Foreign Legion. Sir Gaspard ia himsel’ a” sol- dier, the son of that General Le Marchant who won the battle of Salemanca by the splendid cavalry charge which Napier o spiritedly records. Sir Gaspard has ween much service, and is the old companion in arms of General Sir De Lacy whom he served as Adju’ant General in Spain, Instructions, based on #o Act of Parliament, and to be executed within the limits of British territory, it is quite apparent that Sir Gaspard was bound to carry ‘out. ‘He did so, in no furtive or dis manner, bu im that straigttorward wnd manty style which best com ports with his charac‘er and that of the Government ‘which he represents. He issued a public notification of the nature of his instructions and, intentions, expressed in the following terms:— MEN WANTED FOR HER MASESTY’S SERVICE. PROVINCIAL SecketAny's Oreics, ‘Hariax, Nova Seotia, March 15, 1855. ‘The Licutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia having been em- jared to embody a Foreign Legion, and to raise British fogiments for service in the Provinses or abrond, Notion is bereby given, tha able bodied men, between the ages of nine- Seen and torly; on applying at the depot, at Halitax, wil Receive a bonniy of £5 sterling, equal to $20; and, on being enrolled will receive $8 per monih, with the clothing, qnarters, and other advantages to which British soldiers are enti'led, Preference will be given te men Who have already seen service. ‘The period of enlistment will be for three or five years, at the option of the British goveroment.

LEWIS M. WILKINS, ?rovineial Secretary. Now I think it will pozzle the most ardent enemy of Great Britain, the most jealous sticklor for the honys and Peaceful relations of this country, to find fant? with any- thing done by the British government, or by the Licu- tenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, So far, it will be perceived that neither have Jone any- ‘thing which it was not right to do, or any act beyond the Doundaries of the British empire. | Whe srtisements are published in this country for recruits for the Amork epn army, who questions the right of your officors to issue them? Who complains if they find thete way all over the world? Who stops to inquire to what nati the reeruits belong? Who attempts to prevent p wanting to enlist from leaving the Brilish fala erm ads or provinces, or France, or Germany, to coms here for Bhat purpose? Who would think ‘of preventing poor men, without arms, neither enlisted nor enrolled, Dut’ intending to ‘take service broad, from leav: ing Manchoster or Liverpool, or Liverpool or Glasgow for the United States? I quite admit that it would ve another matter if any actempt were made to organize gud arm men in the Brilish dominiens for shipment abroad, or for aggression or intrasion on a friendly Power. That would not be permitted in England, and | trust it never will be permitted again by the people of this eoan- try, although men, fully armed and organize’, have some- times most unaccounahly been thrown acroas the fron. tier, without preéucing halfrhe excitement in the United States that bas been caused by the appearance ofa single Betthah American gentleman at a fashionable hotel in New ‘ork. So far I trust that | have made it very plain that no ‘Violations of the laws of this countryfhave been committed ‘Dy her Mujexty’s government, or by the Lieatenant-Go- ‘vernor of Nova Scotia. Their acts have deen lecal and eonstitutional, and in strict accordance with the tries jly Felations which subsist between two great nations, that an afford to respect each other, and each others laws, whatever their by-gone citferences may have beea But there is anvther explanation waich I ougut to ve, in all fairness. When it is given I truggthat the merican people and their authori ies, general and local, ‘will perceive how little there is to compiain of, and how unreasonable and ungenerous has been the clamor raised upon this subject. ‘A number of letters had been sent in to the Imperial and Provincial authorities, from British officers, from foreign officers, and trom ‘other gentlemen ling in kis country, whoeither had seen or were d aot seeing service, Some of these gontlemen not only stoted their own cesire to join a foreign legion, but expressed ‘the opinion that great numbers of persons, fond of toe excitement of military life, or thrown out of employ- ment by the depressed state of comme. ciel affairs in tints country, would follow their example. These voluntury offers of service neither the government nor Sir Gaspard Le Marchant iavitod, Taey ‘were made by people living in this country, who sipposed that thelr swerks were their own, and that they hala right to go out of the United States as freely ai they came into them; who were under the impression thi, even before the passage of the Reciprocity treaty, they might have gone into the British Provinces to enlist with no more violation of the laws of this country than if they had gone to get a wife, te bay a barrel of tarckerei, or a wargo of potatoes, IE these impressions were natural on thefr parts, what more natural than thet the Lieutenant Govornor of Nowa Eootia should select a person, in whem he had confidence, to come into the United States to ascertain whether these offers of service were made in good faith; whether the parties were gentlemen of good character, of capacity ans experience; and whether there was any foundation for their belief that a large number of the unemploye classes here were dis; osed to join the British army? Surely his Excellency ha’ a right to do this, and the person 80 98. lected had a right to come. Let us hope that he has div- charged his very delicate duties with the common senso and discretion of a gentleman, Ii must be confessed, however, that the duties were delicate. The person to whom they wero confided thought that he was doing nothing very heinous. ie Uved in an open ani public manoer—saw anydoty way walled to see him—ani explained frankly to such officers and o her gentlemen as haa made tenders of their ner- vices, that Sir Gaspard Le Marchant was now empowered to accept them upon their being renewed to him within the boundaries of his own Province. Nor did ha dis ise the expression of his implicit belief any nam- or of abie-vodied men would be enralled in Nova Seotia, in the terms of the advertisement signed by the Proviacial Fecretary; that any merchan's eeading, or ship: 4 taking, steerage passengers to Haifax,’ might rely im plicitly on the honor and good faith of the British goverw ment. If a gentleman from North America cannut say and do all this in the United Stated, thea wha’ can he way and do? All this, I presume, was done and said. If anything more was done and said, in ignorance or ia vic t the laws of the United Sates, | am not guing to de What I suspect, however, is, that a good deal has been done and said by unauthorised versons having more zoal than diseretion; by rascals sent to defeat the object; by epies and informers—treated, as ail sueh persons should ‘De treated, with perfect unreserve. But lot ‘us look at this matter from another point of view. The profession of arms is an honorable protession, ‘and bas, since the earliest ages, presented to the young and active irresistible attractions. Again, the veteran soldier is rarely, after a certain period, conthat with any other mode of life. Shall it be said, then, that republican America will deny to her own sons tue’ right, if so dis- ed, to see a little of the world, aad to win ci-timetion the civilized armies of Europe? Shall it be said when an old soldier drifts, by the accidents of life, or with ‘the storms of revolu‘ion, within the charmed circle of this republic, he niust never serve even his owa country again? That “who enters here must shut out hope’ must give up ambition, allegiance, country, the pride o: race, the noblest feelings of our nature? God forbid. Would you deny to a Frenchinan the privilere of jola ing the gallant sand who in the Crimea are illustrating jety and valor of his nation? Woald you restrein @ Pole or @ Hungarian from lifting his sword agains: the Northern despot whose iron han had prostrate! the liberty of his country? Agsin Tasy, God forbid! I think more highly of the Amerisan character, 1 have more reliance ‘tpon the elasticity and m of your instatutions, On the causes of the preseat war 1 do not wish to 4 vell—nor on ita management, which we may assume to Ihave been defective. But look at the magnificeat battle of Alma—at the «plendid charge of the Scotch Greys and Kaniskillen Dragoons at Balaklava, who ssattered tho of Russian cavalry like chaff before the wind. Look atthe ‘ight of Inkermann, where eight thousand noble fellow held their ground for half a day against an army of sixty thousand, Now, shall it be said that an Engl man who wishes to leave this country, to filla vacant Place Among the Coldstream Guards, and keep up the re- tion of that distinguirhed corps, wa0 crossed their with the enemy eleven times in oe batile not go?

The War and the New York Merchants, SPECIAL MERTING OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN REFERENCE TO THE ACTION OF THE BRITISH CONSUL IN SEIZING THE BARK MAURY. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday at neon, to take action on the seizure of the bark Maury, in October last, on suspicion of being fitted out as a privateer to sail under the Russian fiag, and to take such steps as might be deemed necessary to exonerate the owners of that vessel andthe New York merchants from being engage! in unlawful enterprises, Mr. Pxvatian I’sert, on taking the chair, explained the object of the mecting. It will be remembered, said he, that during the month of October last the bark Maury was seized by the United States District Attorney, on complaint of the British Consul, charged with being fitted out as a privateer, to commit depredations on British vessels, under the Russian flag, and in the pay of that government. Subsequently, the vessel was released after a few days detention, nothing om board having been found to justify the suspicions of the authorities. The fact of the seizure of the vessel, and the papers relating-to it, were sent to Lord Clarendon, and when Mr. Buchanan called upon him for explanation, he was shown these papers; therefore, the imputation still rests with the people of England that the owners of the bark Maury are culpable in this mat- ter, aniit behooves the merchants of New York to in- quire into the facts and allay the uanecessary irritation that has been excited in the minds of the people of Kug- land, und show that they have no sympathy with lawless enterprises. Maury, as was well known, was buut for the China trade, and there was nothing in her con- struction or equipments to justify the suspicion attached to her; yet while that feelicg remains, it leaves a st on the commercial community of New York which it should endeavor to wipe out. Mr. Perit, ia conclusion, hoped the Board wonki (ake immediate action, Moses H, Gianxuit offered the tollowing preamble and resolution, to test the sense of the meeting :— pears trom information derived from reltable fe represeniation made to the British govern- ° bark Maury, which was seized at tis partia on of being fitted out asa p: valeer to cru flag, {8 one of the causes which led to the recent high excitement in Sngland; and whereas, itis just and proper that the re: that vessel and this commercin! commaait from ibs imputation thus needlessy throws upon them, ther ore be it TerRocetved, That a commities be appointed ta inquire tnto the fuets and report the same at a subsequent meeting of the Chamber. Mr. JANE vinjon that ax. tho action of tho Oba would be made puoltc immediately, it would de well to give # stulement of facts connected with tho back Maury, to justify to the public mind the passage of the on to investigate by the Charabe-. Mr. 1 said that some of the facts were al- ready before the public. In hir opinion, the course of the British consul was most unreitonatle, and he was blameab'e for much of the feeling that existod. It would be useless to give any facta until the commitiee had ro- por'ed, then they would be legitimately public property, The public should know, continued Me. Grinnell. aud the people of England shouf) know that New York merchants are not in the habit of engaging in unlawful enterprises, Mr. Lae was not convinced. The action of the Board and the facts shou'd go togethar. Mr, Jon A. Sruvens said that it waa well known to tho mercbants that the Maury was not fitted oat for any jiratical excursion, as the owrers would not be engaged in apy such nefarious transaction, yo! the suspicfon had gone forth. It must be that agents of th» British govern- mertin this country have some justification for what they have done; if not, their action should be condemned. All the facts, however, should be known before an ex- prersion of opinion was had onthat point. Mr. Lrx explained, He favored the movement, but wanted light. He had letters from England which showed the feeling there to be one of great alarm. After an explanation from the Chair, afr. Grinnell’s re- solution was amended, and carried unantmonaly, aad the following named gentlemen appointed to investigate and report, pursuant to the requirement of the resolution: — Moses H.

The quantity of fodder saved is unpre-edented, and ot ex- cellent quality. The copious rains caused an astonishing developement of cornstalks and biades, which make, as the gentlemen of your agricultural department know, first rate food on which to winter “stock.” But the wet weather was #0 continuows as to injure the autumn pas- tures. The grass is rank, but not nutricious, and the consequence is that milk is not of average richness, and therfore butter is of poor quality and very dear, selling at 2) and 235 cents per pound, which is at least twenty- ‘feve per cent above the ordinary figures at this season in ‘his market. The farmers of Southwestern Ohio, North- ern Kentucky, and Eastern, Southern and Central Indi- ana, have, to my knowledge, sown more wheat and less barley this fall than any year since their Innd was cleared. The breadth of grouniover which wheat has been sown is astoniehing, while the barley fields will bo scarce next harvest, ‘The leaders of the republican party of Ohio, and the masees of that persuasion, too, I believe, think the Gover- nor elect of this State, Salmon P.

Tcannot forego the expression of my gratification, ia common with the conservative portion of all parties in Michigan, at the result ot the recent elections, in the complete overthrow and downfall of the black republican, or Seward Holy Alliance, in the State of New York and the “old Bay State.” Such a result in two groat States, cithor of which would usually decide the fate of a Presidential contest, is ‘(glory enough for one day,’? and placos the HeRA1p in a proud position for the important agency it had ia the good work.

Before your election they were blatant and boastful, ready to ‘‘ bat their pile” om the sucsess of t cir ticket in either Stato; and when tho swift winged messenger began to in¢icate the result, each report sounded to them like a loud clap of thanier in a clear, cloudless sky.

It seems the fellow was a genius. He had all summer car- ried on large cattle and drover’s business, riding up boldly and selecting the fattest and best beeves from the cattle of the owners, and in sight of these sovereigns, and then bringing them here and disposing of them to our butchers, The butchers have been supplying and we have been eating this stolen beef all summer, not dreaming that we, “partakers, were as bad as the thief,” according to the old Presbyterian maxim.

All deprecate the position to which the State of New Jersey has been reduced by her railroad monopo- lists, ‘and no calm, reflecting mind eam fail to ob- verve that the State of New York is now cursed by a more shameless monopoly in that of the New York Cen- tral Railroad, Before the consolidation of the various roads now composing the Central line, none of the stock- holdera complained of a want of business, nor of the divi- dends paid on the stock. Their charters were granted them upon the express conditions that their roads should in no way interfere with the State works, and should not be allowed to carry freight during the season of canal navigation; and it was upon those express terms that the charters were granted by the State to these various companies. Their legitimate business was to be the carrying of mails and passengers, though from the latter the canals at the time derived their hier profits. The roads were built and put in successful ope- ration; no complaint was then made of inability to pay dividends, On the contrary, the various roads paid handsomely, and added yearly to their surplus profits. But this was not suaicient to gratify them—they must have the privilege of carrying freight through the year, but at the same time shrewdly professed their willingness to pay the State tolls for the privilege. Not yet eatisfied, by means of impure legisla- lation the toll clause was removed, ani they became merciless competitors of the groat works of the State. They had not yet reached the climax of their ambition—~ there was something still wanting—the power of these roads was somewhat divided, and something more was necessary to add to fheir gigantic strength, and then came the great scheme of co2solidation, and by the same | ‘unwise and impure legislation the crowning point of their ambition was attained, and then they boasted openly of their ability to control the State. With one man at the | head of capital of some $27,000,000, the scratch of his pen or the nod of his head could turn to the right or to the left the representatives of our three millions of peo- | ple, and thus fairly block the wheels of government. This. shows with what tenacity they grasped for power, and their ambition to become a great political engine. The State for the last four years has been struggling gainst this monstrour power, exerting itself to rescue its own public works and place them in @ position to suc- cessfully compete with this unecrupulous antagonist, ‘The revenues of the canals, in consequence of the privi- leges granted this monopoly, had become insufficient for the various dratts made uyon tt; hence an effort was | made to retoll the roads, but how vain the attempt!
