liiiit iii Address to the Public. The undersigned, members of "The AMERI CAN Comuitue ron a Coxontas or Na tion," being a Joint Commllleo representing tlirco Associations for tho cause of Peace ilo eiro to present lo llio Public n view of the aluo nnd practicability of tlio object for which they arc associated, and ill claims ou tho attention and did of tltcfr follow citizens. Tho Peace Societies in Great Britain and tho United States oarly perceived that most of the warn of modern civilized nations woro occasion ed by disputes, for tho settlement of which thero was needed, cither a Common AniiiTRR or FniNCtrLKa op Law, not supplied by the un certain and unauthorized precedents called "1 ho Law of Nations ;" and in tho belief that the es tablishment of this Arbiter or theso principles, on sufficient authority, would bo tho means of preventing all wars, they proposed a CoNOIiEBS to be composed of Delegates from all tho Sov ereign Towers acceding to this arrangement, whoso duty it should be to form such a code of international law as would receiic tho assent of all I and becoiuo A basis, on which an impartial Court could determine future disputes. Wo will not detain oa with a relation of tho successive discussions and measures through which this proposal has passed to its present ma turity i we will only say in brief, that memorials in its favor to tho British Pailiniucnt and to tho Congress of tho United fitalos, at different times, liavc met with friondly reception ; that tho Leg islature of Massachusetts has twice passed Reso lutions recommending it; ami tnnt mrp.0 vol ume cf Essays on tlio subject, issued by the American Tcace Society, has been presented to p .1. - i l- t' ? . : many oi me icuuing csovereigni nnu eminent j Statesmen of Europe and America, by whom it lias been acknowledged with approbation. We pro now encouraged to renewed exertion in tins enterprise under the happiest auspices. A Convention for this object was held at Brus sels, in Belgium, lat September, composed of Delegates from Great Britain, Francr, licit mm, Trussia, Holland, Spain, Italy and the United States of America ; persons generally eminent in station and talent ; and some of wiiotn were connected with tho Governments of the nations they represented. In this Convention there was n luminous discussion of the principles of a Congress of Nations, and urgent recommenda tions of its speedy establishment. We quote one of the Resolutions passed thero, with only ono dissenting voice : "That it is tlw settled conviction of this body, mat mo convocation ot a congress ot fattens, composed of duly appointed representatives, is of tho highest importance: inasmuch as it would secure the establishment of a well digested codo of laws for the regulation of intern tional inter course; and by constituting a High Court of Nations, wovld provide an effectual guaranty fbr me preservation ot permanent anu universal leace. Tho Convention was followed bv lanio meet. ings in England, at which several members of rarlumcnt and other eminent men were pres ent, and whero the sentiments and proceedings ot that body were enthusiastically approved. A deputation from tho Contention with an Ad dress to the British Government was favorably received by the Premier, and an intimation was given that his Government would readily meet advances from others en tho subject It'is pro posed to hold another Contention at Paris in tho ensuing month of August, to which delegations are invited from all civilized nations. We would now appeal to American citizens oi every class, party ami uenoimnation, to en courage and aid us, zealously and unitedly, in this truly beneficial work. We belies o we offer a schema by which the burdens, horrors and crimes of war may bo foreicr precluded, and a state ot tmnersM trienusmp ana prosperity w introduced, correspondent to the advance of the age in science and civilization. Wc appeal to the humanity of Philanthropists ; for the prac tice of war is more destructive of life, comfort, liberty and virtuo than all the other corrupt cus toms of tho world comted.wYwnjr;ejd(Jg of tho lovo of God and man enjoined in the Gospel, finds its greatest obstruction in war and martial preparations. Wc appeal to the patriot ism of Citizens ; for we would that our country should have tho gjorv.in all future ages, of lead ing in this tMiterpn'so nf universal pacification, to which it is pledged by its past agency in tho cause, its coustant purine professions, and the freedom of its institutions. We also atmcal lo the interests of commerce and tho Kliey of Political Economi-ts ; that the enormous sums of nioney hillujrlo waited in war, may be employed in fertilizing iho earth aud securing rempetenco to its inhabitants. It is asked, how can unconnected individuals give us the nut wo solicit Wo reply; by cir culating this and our other communications; by social conversation and persuasion ; by partiu pation in public meetings for this purpose : bv petitions to Government; and by acquainting us with persons who are qualified, and willing to proceed as our Delegates to Europe. And we would intimate to the friends of peace who may be blessed with wealth, but not with tlio leisure for personal service, that pecuniary contribu tions to detray expenses, are necessary in tins, as in other fcnoolcnt movements. Relieving that our labors are for the cood of tho whole community, re trust that the magnanimity of .I.- -HI..-.".. -Ill . !. .l .t ' ,uu uuiueui win uui (vrinii mem lo uu given ai great sacrifices to ourselves; and that no shall rccetvo trom tucm cheortul nnd sufficient votun tarv contrltiiittnns.

They sought an at) lum at Trinidad, an island off J lie coast of South America.

A comfortable settlement and permanent employ ment hare been obtained for all of them, in tho State of Illinois. All that is wanted is money to pay the etpcne of tho transportation; but It is believed that this appeal in behalf of religious liberty will meet with a cheerful response from tho Ameri.-an people.--SjuuigJiclJ Jttfullitan.

It is a small matter comparatively to build a Road from Kecne to Winchester, but from that place to the Connecticut River, it is a very ex. pensive route, and tho grado is aclnovledjed to bo five feet higher than any point of the road from Brattleboro to Bellows Falls.

It seems lo roc there should be, indeed there can he, but one 1 lew as to the true policy to be pursued in this mailer by those interested in Ihe Roads now taking Ihe Valley business; or by those who would consult the proper accommoda tion of the public, snd that is to unite their ef forts to fill this gap immediately. The sum or $140,000 at most Is reqoired to insure the speedy construction of this Valley Road.

A frightful wreck of an emigrant ship hat ta ken place on tho English coast, off Harwich The bark Floridian, of 800 tons, from Antwerp to New York, chartered by the German Com pany to carry emigrants, was wholly lost en tLe 28th ulL, and the master and crew, except 3 men, together with 126 passengers, were drowned. Tho losses in India were in this wise. A fierce and protracted struggle occured on the left bank of tho river Jhelum, between the army of the Punjaub, under Lord Gough, and tho Sikh forces, under Rajah Sbcre Sin". The British (the army of the Punjsub) lost at least 83 officers; 2300 of their men were killed or wounded; four guns were captured; and four or fivo regimental colors taken by the army. The English claimed tho victory, notwithstand ing their laurels were thus drenched In blood. But it was a triumph of such a nsture, that one of their japcrs welt remarks lhat "two more such v clones would bo virtu si ruia." No at. tempt is made by the English press to disguise the fact that tho news from India is of the most disastrous character. In accordance with the usual policy of the British Government in such cases, Lord Gough was promptly superseded in the command by Sir Charles Napier. France The trial of Barbes and .Louis Blanc, and other Stele prisoners in France, commenced at Bourgis, on the 7th iust. It will be rcincmlicred that on tho 14th and 13th of May last, these men invaded the National As sembly, and succeeded, for a few hours, in se curing the reins of GovernmenL There can be no doubt but that the guilt of most of the prisoners will bo clearly established, and it is supposed to be the intention of Government, should any of tho prisoners be sentenced to trans portation, lo send them to tho Marquesas Islands. Great interest is manifested in the trial; even reporters from the United States are in attend ance. Lanurtine, Arago,and about 200 others are witnesses. Some curious developments in respect to the Provisional Government of last )ear are expected. The French Government continues to gather strength, and there is evidently a growing dis iosition on tho part of the nation to crush any attempt at public disorder. Upon the whole, the protpu f tiauuuiiiijr aro ur sVrorable than ihey have been during the past year. Germany. Tha Austrian war in the south of Hungary proceeds with variable success.

The revolution of Tuscany is complete, the republic has been proclaimed at Leghorn and Florence, And a central Italiau Republic has been formal in union with tho Romans. The Grand Duko has protested against this revo lution, and has entreated all tho powers of Europe to refuse to recognize the new authori ties. - The Piinco of Canino has been elected Vice President of the Republic of Rome. The Pope, after hailing between abdication and soliciting foreign intervention, has now, it is said, made an application to Austria, and it it confidently stated that Spain is about to send a division of 10,000 men to aid in restor ing his Holiness. The latest intelligence from Italy states that the Roman ministry had com municated to thoa Assembly that a joint inter vention of Austria, Spain, and Naples is an nounced. France had not decided what part to take. It teems probable that Naples on the south and Austria on the side of tho Po, will overrun the papal states; but still the question of consti tutional government at Rome and Florence can scarcely be tctllcd at the point of tho bayonef. Tho relations of Sardinia and Austria add fur ther difficulties to the general confusion which prevails from the foot of the Alps to tho Medi terranean. Rubsia. The Russian movements on tho Continent excite universal interest. The Impe rial Guards, some 82,000 strong, who had not quilled the Capital before sinco 1831, have marched from St. Petersburg, and proceeded through Wilna lo the frontier, where they will no doubt take such a position as to bo able to keep in cheek the disaffected Poles on the Pros r . i - T . i ir iau iiuuui;i, mo uiA;iidiuii iu uiu tiuuariau struggle, and assume such an attitude as shall plainly indicate the intention of Iho Czar to control, as much as possible, any disposition to rovirotho scenes of ihe last) ear. The Czar has also publicly declared his resolution to abide by the treaties of 1815, and given notice that he shall deem any attempt to infringe them a cause for war. The entrance of 10,000 Russian troops into Austrian Transylvania, strongly evinces the determination of the Czar not to permit any change in the territorial division of Italy unless with the entire consent of Austria. Aquation in Canada. This British Prov ince is now in a rather lively stir. A question has been vmblcliy raised on the subiect of in demnifying the sufferers who lost property in the late rebellion. This appears to nave rekin dled old animosities, and even to havo led one party into very free discourse about tho proprie ly of "chopping off" from Great Britain and lotntngthe united Estates, this is. rather ino language of party excitement (hsn tho expres sion of any serious and wine-spread inclination toward revolutionary measures. Thero is much loud talk, but very little desire to come to blows. The latest accounts from Canada alate lhat a riotous disposition had begun to manifest itself among the people. On Ihe oveninir or the 22d, a mob gathered in the streets of Toronto, and burnt three of the members of the Legislature in rffiisv.
