[Here follow the signatures ot tbe Plentpo teotiarlea of Greet Britain, France. Aoatrin, Prussia, Bosnia, Sardinia and Turksy ] This treaty was presented to the Govern ment of the Uoited States for iU assent to the terms thereof, but was not aocaded to. Presi dent Pterse teak tbe just ground that the Navy of the United Slates was weak and that of England powerful; that if the Uaited Stales nod England should agree to prohibit each others private armed veaaels from making captures on the high aeaa, but leave the naval forcu of each notion lo make inch captures, the UniUdStatea Government would be sur rendering too greet an advantage to an enemy iu time of war. This ia not Ihe exact language of Mr. Pierce, but it fully illustrates the point of his objection. Ur. Pieroa had long before made a proposition to the powers of Europe to abolish privateering, provided they would ful ly adopt tbe doetrine that private property on the tees, not contraband of war, should not be molested by an enemy's war vessels, as well ae private armed veeaela This proportion had not been acceded to, end nhen the Peris Con ference of 1856 presented IU treaty to the Uni. ted States Government for iu sanction, it wea met with the objection that the terms of the treaty did not cover all the ground, and would not mew out equal end exeot justice to ell cod- cerned. Mr. Mercy, on the J8th of July, 1856 addressed n Utter to the Count de Serllget, the French Minister at Wnthinglon, e copy of. which wu furnished to nil lbs other Foreign Miniature, in which the objections to tbe treaty of Peril were oleerly set forth j end in which he made the ablest dsfenss of the right of pri vateering that ever wee written. He said : " The right to resort lo pri veteera, is as clear aa tbe right to use public armed ships, and as iueontestebla as any other rightof beligerenu. * * * It is as well sustained by practice and publioopinion, ms any other to be lound in the maritime code.” Only one of the European Powers, Rossis, responded sfflrmstivsly to the terras upon which the United States Government proposed to abolish privateering. Others promised lo coflpernW in getting the assent of nil, and thus deUyed dednile action, Ae., Ac., which shows that none of them, save Russia, wars willing to abolish privateering, upon n fair principle; but wanted to eecure an advantage «'•* ‘he United States Government, whose privateers, and power also, tbs world dreaded. The sebjeet reeked along until some time in April lest, when tbt sneaking cowardly Ad- ministration at Washington gave notice to the Powers of Europe that they warn willing lo adopt the Code ol the Congress st Paris iu 1856, which dsolsred privateering to be piracy. Upon the announcement of thie important ac tion of the Lincoln Cabinet, the organa of that dynasty broke forth in strains ol adulation, that privateering was abolished throughout the eiviljsad world ; that henceforth it was pira cy, and every body caught in it should be hung as pi rates. The duplicity und utter locompeteucy of Lincoln eed his Cabinet, as well as their ntter disregard of tho Constitution and laws, art forcibly exemplified in this meeiure. A step which the Uailnd Stales Government, though earnestly solicited, had, for Bve years, refused to take i which it eonld net telra with honor, on account of its injustioe, end the inequality of its operation, giving the world an undue advantage, Whidh en honorable man or nation would only surrender in death—Ibis step Is ' taken' unooddltlednlly, and for tbs wicked purpose of trying to enter into so alliance with European Powers to crush us out—sfsslwbioh they continuully assart they ere able to do by themsnlvns, wnd net half tr/1 That Govern meal steed on t principle, end positively rw. fused In secede lo the proooeitloo, until i a die * - - agents thought there was soma hope of gaining so advantage ever Mu South, at the sacrifice of honor end principle!

[Tremendous [Where] The Bank Convention. The action of thia Body wae most patriotic, and deserves the commendation of every true friend of the couotry. The personnel of the Contention was different from that of every other assembly that it haa been our good or ill fortune to altond—so unlike an assemblage of politicians, a congressional or legislative body, or a State Agricultural Society. They were all a grave locking set of men, and, whether old or young, seemed to have an eye to something practicable in all they said or did. There were no heated discussions, long speeches, or angry debates—nothing for buncombe—no man with a constituency whose fancied wrongs bed brought him up to an indignant pitch, and no nan who seemed to have the least ambition, or desire to appear before the people as a cham pion of their rights—none, none of it A de sire to accomplish what they came to do, and be off to their basinets again, seemed to he the prevailing ides. Without any sort of inde cent haste, a great amount of the most import ant business was well considered—views inter changed freely, conclusions arrived at, and action recorded, without a single animated re mark from a memberof tbe Body. There were different opinions entertained by the members upon some of the most important measures — These different views were freely expressed by those who entertained them; but owing to an utter absence of ell demagoguism, these views were expressed in speeches of two minutes or less. Tbe speakers had the most singular knack of arriving at the very gist of the point under consideration, and those who heard had equally singular way of comprehending views that were advanced; and what is more singular than all, when two or three persons had interchanged views, correct action wss at once taken, and every one seemed to be per fectly satisfied. With regard to the wisdom of tbeir action, we will say but little. It speaks for iUelf.— The Government plan to raise means to carry on the war was the main thing to be considered. Thie plan is the wisest and best thst any coun try ever devised, and the action of the Bank Convention whs, in our judgment, all that any man had any right to expect or could ask.— Wo desire, in the name of our common coun try, to return that body our sincere thanks. Daniel Webster on Military Force. In October, 1832, Mr. Webster addressed a Convention of the National Republican or Whig party, at Worcester, Massachuse te.— Speaking of Executive power, and putting nullification in South Carolina, he said: Sir, for one, I protest in advanoe against snob remedies as I have heard hinted. The Administration itself keeps a profound silence, but ita friends have spoken for it. We are told, sir, that the President tell immediately em ploy the military force, and at once blockade Charleston! A military remedy—a remedy by direot military operation, has been thus suggested, as tbs intended means of preferring the Union! 8ir, there is no little reason to think tbat this suggestion is true. We een- not be altogether uotnindful of tbe peat, and, therefore, we cannot be altogether unappre heneive for tbe future. For one, sir, 1 raise my voios before band against tbs unauthoriz ed employment of military power, and againet superseding the authority of the laws, by an armed force, under pretence of putting down nullification. Tux Pkbsiubnt uas so author ity TO BLOCKADR (JllARLKMTON, THR PRESIDENT HAS MO AUTHORITY TO EMPLOY MILITARY FORCR, till he shall be duly required to do so, by law, and by the civil authorities. His duty is to cause tbe laws to be exrooted. His duly is to support die ciril authority, llie duty is, if tbs law be resisted, lo employ the military force of the country, if necessary, for tbeir support and execution ; but to do this only in cumuli- unce irith laic, and icith decisions of the tribu nals. If, by auy ingenious devices, those who resist the laws escape from the resch of jufli- oial authority, as it is now provided to be ex erclsed, it is entirely competent for Congress to make such new provisions as the exigen cies of the case may demand. These provi sions undoubtedly would be made. With a constitutional and efficient head of the Gov eminent, with an Administration really and truly io favor of the Constitution, (he country grapple with nullification. By the force of rcaaou ; by tbe progress of enlightened opinion; by the natural, genuine patriotism or tbs country, and by the steady and well sustained operatioi s of law, the progress of disorganization may be successfully checked, and the Union maintained. Let it be remem bered that, where nullification is most power ful, U is not unopposed. If we can relieva the country from an Administration whioh denies to the Conti it ui ion those powers wblobare the breath of ita life; if we can place the Govern ment in the bands of ita friends ; if we can se cure it against the dangers of unlawful and ir regular military force ; it it can be pUoed an tier tbs lead of eu administration wboie mod eration, firmness and wisdom shall Inspire confidence and ouromsnd respect; we may yet surmount tbe dangers, numerous end formida ble ai they are, whioh surreuod us." A Speech from the President, On Wednesday of last week, the President visited the Camp near Richmond. To the great crowd of chitons and soldiers there as sembled, be made the following patriotic re marks!

There are only five railways which strike ikis ooaei throughout ita entire extent. These terminate at New Orleans end Mobile in tbe Gulf, and Savaonab, Charleston and Wilqpiogtoo an ike Atlantic. If the United State* can blockade these fire pens riVotsal ly, they to all practical purposes seal up tbe Southern States. Of course they must do this effectively. The validity of mere paper blockades has loog since been disowned bj ev try Power. # * * * * We have Seen t*.ld that there are letters of morgue now in Lon dan, and agents have arrived by the last steam er to make contracts for Armstrong guns and all other wailike stores of the meet rveeut in vention. Both parties will come into the mar kets of Europe, and will bid for men and ships So far as privateering is concerned, the South wiU have the advantage. No adventurer would care to lake eervice with Ihe North, because there would be little Or no prey. The South hat do commerce, and it* produce would be carried in neutral bot toms. The North, however, has ships upon ev try sea, and is a victim that will pay a plunderer. There are silk cargoes to be intercepted even in the Eastern etas, and the treasures of Calfornia to be met with afloat. To protect this com uteres will require no small portion of the available United Slates navy ; und it is there fore not quite certain that Mr. Liocolo can respond to the reiterated demauds of the mer chants of New York to blockade all the ports of the South. Looking at these matters in a strictly Eng lish point of view, our interest is first, if pos sible, that this melancholy rupture should be repaired, and that either by reunion or by am* icable separation peace abould be restored.— But if this is impossible, then it becomes cur uezt object that our Cotiou supply should not be cut off, and that tbe markets fur our man. ufactures in Ihe South should not be forcibly shut against us With this view we sh ill be compiled to scrutinize the legality of every block ade established upon the eoa*ts of the. seceding Stales. The Government of Washington bas itself relieved us from what might otherwise have been a great danger of being made the princi pal viotim of this unhappy quarrel. At the treaty of Paris, England and Prance proposed that all nations should reoounce tbe belliger ent right of issuing letters of marque. The United Slates theu refused to join iu ibis con vention, and required for their merohaot ships an immunity from tbe men of war as well as from privateers, if America bud then joined to make this proposition an universal law of nations, privateers woulJ now be considered pirates, and tbe Sou'h would be at tbe mercy of the North. That proposal having, however, beennyeot ed, tbe belligerent parties bold their ancieni rights, and the commissions of Mr. President Davis are as good as those of Mr. President Lin coln. As to the resolution of the New York merchants io treat the privateers of the unrecog nized South as pirates, if cannot be maintained Every jurist must hold that, so long as Mr. President Darts is President of a Confederacy of Sore reign States, he has the mine right to is sue letters of marque which any chief magistrate of a republic either in North or South America would hate. any acts fn derogailoh or their drily a* stib So may the elegant black noint lace shawl in Timex.. . •; oautralSuveraigoin ...J ooptaai, »r, l , h violation, or iu eoa.rx„„„on of .k. lx, of end of Paaneylvania avenue, though they Affairs In Washliiton—Movemeuts agaluat the South—Arrest, die. Tbe Washington Star of the 28tb, has the following items : A COMMANDER FOR THE ADVANCING COLUMN. Brigadier-General McDowell has been duly charged with the command of (be divieiou of the forces of the United States recently thrown acroaa the Potomac from this point. We infer, from the aeleotion for this command, that it is the purpose of the Com mander-in-Cbief to push field operations with that column with great vigor, to the end of culling off the retreat of the forces now at Uarper’a^Ferry, and preventingtheirreinforce ment, Either of which can be effected only by pussing down the Manassas railroad to the junction, a point within fifteen or sizteen miles from the most advanced positions at pre sent vieted by the scouting parties conned ed with General McDowell’s command, and upon which it seems to be proposed to advance a con siderable portion of tbe army with as little de lay as possible. The following officers have beea ordered to duty as members of lbs staff of General McDowell, viz : Colonel Charles P. Sione, of the Fourteenth Infantry; Capt. R. G. Tyler, as assistant quartermaster ; Brevet Captain James B. Fry, assistant adjutant general; Lieutenant Putnam, topographiobcal engineer. MORE ARRESTS IN WASHINGTON.

We understand, says the Richmond Exami ner, that two United States steamers, on their wsy down the river, opposite Acquia Creek, Wednesday evening, between ill and 7 o’clock, fired three shells at the battery stationed at that place, before tbe battery returned the fire. Our battery fired two solid shots (04 pounders) and ten shells. Tho shots took effect in the foremost steamer’s hull, and a shell burst upon her deck. The gun on our battery was under tbe direction of one of the best gunners in the world, Mr. Cunningham, formerly of the Washington Navy Yard. A gentleman from the Maryland side, alter the shell exploded, saw, with a glass, the crow pick up from the deck of the steamer some twenty-five or thirty dead or wounded persons. Only one of our soldiers was wound*d—n gentleman from Fredericksburg— which was a slight wound on the arm, caused by oos of their shells explod- ng The steamers fired twelve or fourteen hells at the battery.
