The following extract from the London Cou-
rlcr deserves a passing remark. The wounds
received by Great Britain in her tendereat
point, her naval supremacy, during our lute
contest were too severe to be loon forgotten.
Our navy ia viewed with a jealousy proportions
ad to its increase i and the •• miechiej" which
has grown nut yf oureontlnued successes during
that trying period—i.e, the confidence and just
reliance whichVill hereafter be placed In this
meant of national defence—will be a fruitful
source of uneulneaa on the other aide of the
Atlantic. It ia too late, at this time of day, to
toll ua, that the reault ofthe mimeroua engage
ments -between our, fir-built, trigatea and the
frigates of Great Britain, during the war, waa
owing to accident. The eauia will be found in
the bravery of American tars, and the enter-
prize Of American officer*. In another place
the writer telle us, “ It Ia undeniable that the
fUght advantages gained at aea during the last
war, were purely the reault of a superior weight
of metal, and a superior number of able bodied
seamen, being attached to vessels nominally
rated frigate*, but in reality of a much larger
ctaai." 1 How are these different representa
tions to be reconciled f In the same breath the
cause of the foilure of British frigst*s“!n their
attacks on American frigates la purely accident
el—and then owing to a “ superiority’’ in metal
men tfo. The whole paragraph is an admirable
specimen of thole consnlotary articles which ap
peared In the English ministerial prints during
the war, and which only shews the wounds it is
intended to hide, and displays In bolder relief
the triumph it la intended to destroy.—
Should another eontast ever take plnee be
tween us, we may well look with anxiety for
the result. The arifo will be violent and bloody
—the British navy will endeavor to retrieve the
character it has lost in tho struggle with ut,
and wa have a reputation to preserve, and a
courage to support it which will not shrink
from any aacrifioe, and a spirit which while one
plank remains with another, will not “ give up
the ship." The day wehepeiafardistant—we
believo it ia—but these observations are forced
upon ua by tho manner In which the sub.
jeetis treated below, and we gladlyquit them:—

treme from our hit files of American papers,

cument which comet recommended to our no-
tiee, by considerations of a very obviuus kind.
Not on|y the extent, but the quality—not mere
ly the number, but the else and equipment of
the vessels launched from the government

to much of our attention, at to leave ua nothing

Tht question in this case is, whether the will
tff the elder Spencer, directing the manumission
“f these slaves, and the deed of the heirs carry
ing the wishes of the testator into effect, dated
34 Oct. t8u8, subjects them to the order and
tale ofthe Justices of the Inferior Court of Ef.
fingham County, under the power delegated to
magistrates by the act of 1818. Tbit Court,
baa already decided on the Circuit, that a-tnan-
umission by deed, bill, or otherwise, subsequent
to the aqt of 1801, produced no legal alteration
In the conditioh of the slave, that the instrument
waa absolutely void, for any purpose of free
dom, and following the language of the sta
tute, that the slave was Hill to “ all intents and
purpoeesasmuchina state of alaveiy aa before
he waa manumitted, and set free by the party
so offending,’’—by giving the Instrument of
manumission. The act of 1801, ia too unambi.
guoua to require the aid of any technical inter
pretation, to comprehend its object, and inten
tion. It.vlalu with a penalty, the person, in
fracting the inhibition to manumit, by private
deed, att or instrument, or in any other man
ner, or forte, than the one described, end it
placte the slave precisely in the condition be
was before. I always-feel happy, when-Iftn
decide upon the plain expression Of the law it
self. without travailing beyond its context, into
afield ofunneeretary aupererrogatory learning.
1 am of opinion then that under the operation
of the act of 1841, these slaves remained the
property of Mr. Bpencer, notwithstanding the
direction! of hia, will, and the subsequent in
strument of manlimission. And they must now
be considered tht property of that estate t end
that interest ctn
inly be divested by an set of
vantages gained at sea during Ute last wsr, were
purely the result ofauperior weight of metal,
and a superior number of able bwlied teamen,
being attached to vessels nominally rated aa
frigates, but In reality of a much larger Class.
Perhaps the greatest miechief which has grown
out uf this circumstance, has beeu a sort uf vain
confidence in the American people, which would
be extremely likely to precipitate the govern
ment into hostilities, if, unfortunately, there
should hereafter arise any dispute calculated to
bear such an ,esue. On the other hand, there
*™tjd be, under tueh circumstances, a feeling
of a different, but not less decisive kind m thu
country i a feeling of vehement desire to show
that it »as accidental, not positive superiority,
which plucked a leaf or two from the laurel
wreath ef England's naval giory- To prevent
•recurrence to these provocations of war, it
w.U be much belter, whenever the two nat'-ona
shall happen to be wain committed to huatiii
net, that all doubt shall be eaitafoclorily remov
ed upon three points. Therefore it is, that we
have brought under tpecial notice, the Report
atidetu h« House of Repreacntiveq of what
has been al eady done, with reapect to aug-'
