That being the object of Bonaparte, as he himself declared, he did not doubt that his true policy was to prevent his "political war" from being the occasion of a social and servile war. He held to his policy to the last, even up to the time he left Moscow. As is said by Sir Robert Wilson, an English writer, who was present during the most of the campaign: "There is no question that a civil war could have been fomented in Russia; and it was Bonaparte who rejected the offers of insurrection which were made to him during the time he was in Moscow." Now, if Bonaparte was impelled by the importance of not permanently alienating the Czar, and also by considerations of humanity, to avoid all incitement to servile war, the same policy is most assuredly incumbent upon us.

ted States on the 16th inst. among the proceedings that took place was the following: In the Senate, on motion of Mr. Wilson, of Mass, the bill in relation to the arrest of persons claimed as held to service or labor by officers in the military to add after the words "master or owner," the words "who may be a loyal citizen of the United States." Agreed to. Mr. Wilson, opposed the amendment. He was against any kind of justification of slavery. What he wanted was to prevent officers' of the army from returning slaves. Some officers have already disgraced the service in this way, and, God willing, he (Mr. Wilson), if he had the power, meant to prevent their confirmation by the Senate.

Destruction of another Blockade Runner. The large and swift steamer Robert E. Lee, formerly the Giraffe, Capt. Wilson, was destroyed by her officers off Wilmington, at an early hour on Wednesday morning. The Lee attempted to run past the blockaders, but suddenly found herself almost completely surrounded. The fire soon became so hot from the many guns of the enemy that the noble vessel was run ashore and fired by her own officers. She was entirely consumed. The Lee was a Government steamer, and contained a cargo of very valuable Government stores. Her loss will be seriously felt. She had made many trips — had probably paid for herself several times; but her loss is none the less to be regretted on that account. Since writing the above we hear it has been rumored here that the Lee was not burnt, but made her escape by running back again, and that the fire which was supposed to be her conflagration was not that, but a fire on shore. This statement is not confirmed, howev
