ATHENS GAZETTE. Tiivrsuar , Mar l iBl 4* Ottr latest dates from Europe re present matters there in a light Somewhat different from what was • s* .ted in our last. It would seem fcnuf the contest is still undecided and the issue, perhaps, still dubious be tween the French and Allied armies*. Some important victories the French certainly ; lined, but those vic tories may have lost them much— j*dr hare the arms of the Allies been wholly unrucctssfnl. A few weeks more will bring us .thence interest ing results. Various opinion-*. prevail in re gard to an Armistice between this country and Great Britain. - Ihe one most general, and perhaps the most probable, and certainly the most desirable, that an Armisiice tvill he early agreed upon by the ne gotiator* for peace, and that it will bt speedily announced to the coun+ try. There has been just issued frota • the YVar-OfSce at Washington in a •mill pr :ted pamphlet, an abstract from the proceed ngs on the trial of Brigadier-General Hull'. A friend bas transmitted u copy of it t,o um.— The Court absolve Gen. Hull from ,fche charge of treason. but convict H.ivrt of cowardice, and sentence him to be shot to death. The President approves the sen* -fence, and remits the execution of it. In consideration of Gen. Hull’s re volutionary services, and#uis advanc ed age, the Court earnestly recom mended him to ni-rcv ; and it was, <Jo doubt, upon that recom nendation that the President pardoned hun. v It is much to be regretted that Gen Hull had not been tried and disgrac* cfd sooner; It Would have hud; we f are convinced, a salutary effect up* * on the army in general. It would, j for one thing, have made our officers * dn high command more vigilant and Circumspect; Bui his offence was so rank and that all sorts of indiscre tion were veni .il compared to it ; and •wmlst he, the exemplar of all our military discomfitures, remained un punished, it Would have been consi dered. a hardship to have tried any st!ier.

It is Worthy of notice, in order to account far the length of tiie action that shortly after its commencement, the British colors were shot away, the Peacock, then astern of her enemy, in a raking position, demanded if she had struck, the reply vras. not yet— and before the action could be re newed. tbs Peacock lost this advan tageous position The next day after parting with the Peacock, Lieut. Nicholson was chased by a frigate but escaped by .standing close in with the land, where he was becalmed ; the frig ate’s boats were manned, approaclied the prize within hail and asked “ what brig that was.” was answered u what boats are those’* accompanied with throwing open the ports ofthe prize, which so alarmed the enemy, that they made off precipitately. Lieut. Nicholson understood from the officers of” the Epervier, that on the 21sc April, off the Hayarina, the U. S. sloop of war Frolic, capt Bain bridge. was captured by the frigate Orp htus, his Majesty’s schooner Shellminie in company—it was said the Frolic had thrown her starboard guns overboard during* the chase. .
