MARITIME CAPTURES.
BRITAIN'S WEAPON OF OFFENCE. (Received Last Night, 9.30 o'clock.) LONDON, November 4.

He adds that we should bring the pressure of war to bear upon the whole population, and not merely upon the armies in the field, as the very spirit of modern warfare Mas the" least inhuman of all the inevitable inhumanities of war, because it deterred war and hastened peace.
