‘merally agitated daring the past month, 
“by the terms of ‘the “extraordinary con-

the most feeling, and the most solemn 
‘attention of the "pation, that has occurred 
during the last month, ‘is the ‘arrival of 
‘French and Russian’ inessengers, sup- 
‘posed. to bring with them overtures for 
‘putting ‘an end to the present senseless, 
‘and. ruinous war—a war cetpmenced un-

ble fo divine, and pregnant only with 
inischief to ourselves and to all man- 
‘kind. Tt is to be hoped that ‘no er- 
rors. arising from We uae that no 
_principle founded on the Quixotic idea of 
establishing the dominion of universal jus- 
‘tice, and that ho sentiment. arising out of 
personal or national hatred, will deprive 
the world, of the paramount blessings of 
peace, of which a prospect appears to be
