That they have not, will, we tliitik, from what follows, be made fully to apjwar. Iu the opinion of your committee the Commissioners occupy a position, in refer ence to the law regulating retailers of Spiritu ous Liquors 'somewhat analogous to that ofthe Magistrates of the County. By an act of the Legislature f aswul in 1800, the Justices are forbidden to "grant a license to any person" within the Corporate limits of the Town "who has not obtained the permis sion of the Commissioners." They are. thus placed between tho retailer and the County Court, and are the only medium through which the' one can be reached by the other, and tire to placed, .to assist in carrying out the inten tions of the tnw, and not to defeat them," and Iteinsrto.n in all things to " act agreeably to law,' your committee cannot tor a moment, suppose that the Legislature intended to clothe the Commissioners with authority to abrogate a law which the same body binds them by an otttli to see administered. Itniust.be borne in mind that the Commissioners are uot to sub stitute either their will or wiean for law, but on the contrary, are sworn to execute the same as they find it. In order to show what the law on this sub- ject is, your committee beg to call your atten-1 tion to a decision ofthe Supreme Cout deliver- eu id io oy ins uonor Chief Justice Kuflin, ; 5. page 315. a decision, which is considered by those skilled in the law, as covering the whole ground, and to which no addition could well be made. Your Committee will uqw give the sub stance ofthe decision, and will "then proceed to quote Irom the arguments aud opinions up on which the same is based, so much as may be necessary to justify the conclusion to which they have arrived, touching ibeir powers in the matter under considera'ioii.

We still incline to believe- tliat France and England will interpose, betre the contests proceeds much further, and that through tlitir influence and that of Anv trie and Prussia, the war a ill be arrested, and the peace ofEuropo preserved. Upon f tLis poiut however.we have never poi .-u positively, as at this distance from the scene of action and J in the present complicated st-ito of European PvliUca, it is impossible to foresee how this difficulty wilt teiwfwatir-wltli'ahy dcjrree of certainty, and tho positive predictions tor the amount to this, of some of onr contemporaries in regard to this matter, we regard as mere blind fiicsse. , The sympathy of the Christian world appears to be. oddy enough, with the Mahommedrra Turks. This on first view, ap pears to be Inore strange because the aggressive course of-. tho Czar of Russia towards Turkey . .1.1" . .. is ou vue im-e oi me maucr, jusliUcU iy i,im( on the ground that his oKjeol is to obtain and secursrCfor certain Christian in tlie Turkish, dominions, certain priviu-gta, which tho Czar alleges are sithholden from them by the Sul tan of Turkey. ; But the general intprcasion is, that the Sultan has granted and does secure to these Cbrtiahs within his dominions the free enjoyment of their religion, and nil the privile ges that they can n'nsoii.il.ly nfe for, and that the reason which the CW of Russia gives to justify his course is only a sham or a pretext, to cover over with a specious veil his ambitious designs against Turkey, and Lis determination to extend his power and dominions in South ern Europe. From all we have seen, -wo be lieve this to be the real state of the case, and therefore we rejoice at the repot ted success of the lurks, and at the cheek which the ahiti tt.... ,.r w:..i.i. . r . . uvu vi ii.iioina vi nuMin nas received, it is easy however to foresee, that if Turkey is to be left to fight it out alone with Russia, that this temporary success will not avail any thing more than to check the encroachments of Bus sia for a short period. The Russian- power is immense, and Nicholas has at his command money and men to an almost unlimited ex tent. . Should the war go on between the two-J powers singly, the invasion that the Turks by their bravery and skill have partially rolled back, will only gather fresh force and extent. and in duo time sweep Turkey from the map of Europe. , This almost 'inevitable! result, to the' minds of the Statesman of England and France, and at the same time their great aver sion to a European war at this time, make us still incline to the belief that the matter will be eventually settled without a war of any considerable length, and without drawing other nations into it, but still no one can pretend to foretell with any certainty to what this war be tween Russia and Turkey that has now actu ally begun, may lead, or how it will terminate.
