TILL inquiries of Lord NIALMESSCRT and Mr. Do tat tot in the two Houses of l'arliament last night ed from the Ministry one or two note worthy remarks. The unswer of Lord JOHN WS ALI espluded the rumour, ostentatiously paraded by e eitemporary yesterday, that Bosnia had been in by the Austrians. Lord JtalS: was gate right in his assertion that the latest authentic news left the forces of Austria at t he Hungarian fortress of Peterwardin, be veil *hick point it stems unlikely they should pass. lucked, if the Emperor Ft; %Net 9 were to cross les own frontier and enter the dominions of the e t uas, all Europe would at once declare he had en tered into secret and disgraceful league with his kingly patron NICHOLAs, and that the partition of the Turkish Empire was to be at all hazards at once attempted by himself and the Autocrat. He can scarcely venture at present, if at all, on any such ex mine and scandalous sts p ;—however great his of gratitude may be to the Czaat tor Cossack help afforded in the subjugation of Hungary. The second question to Ministers re tuned to a great fact instead of a newspaper fiction— the, tact that the Emperor of Russia has again spoken to Europe through Count NESSELRODE. This sew Imperial Manifesto will be fund in ano ther cvlumn, and affords an additional page for the his tory of tho would-be spoliation of Turkey. Nit itoi.ss no longer says the difficulties between himself and his neighbour cannot be arranged, but be gives a new twist to exists ing complications by declaring that ho will not re mare his troops from the Priecipalities until the prey-ore now exercised upon him by the Two Powers shall he removed. " The pressure "of England and France is here acknowledged, and, at first sight, it would seem that the Czar. would be willing to abandon his aggression if the combined fleets were called home again. A further examination of the document, however, casts a very different light epos it. Ho will not draw his troops within the confines of Russia until Turkey has "granted the satisfaction due to him"—that is, until she has given up her independence. And, more than this, the Auto crat, whose burglarious intentions have already given Europe so much trouble and anxiety, now coolly and impudently declares he only invaded Moldavia and 11 allachia because the ships of England and France went to Besika Bay ! Well might Lord Jolts Russell. declare—" He did not think that the Russian Government could in any way substantiate the fact that the entry of the Rus sian troops into the Principalities was occasioned by tho sailing of the English fleet into the waters of the Porte." The impudence of this last Muscovite pretence is • fit pendant to the audacity which claims a virtual dominion over the subjects of ano ther Prince, and the greediness which led the Autocrat of an enormous Empire tocovet and invade the Provinces of a struggling and weaker neighbour. But though no portion of enlightened Europe ean mistake the real character of this latest NESSELRODE Manifesto, it can scarcely fail to do its author service within his own dominions. The millions of Masco vices who look up to NICHOLAS not only as their King, but as a kind of human Divinity also—the serfs, who read, or hear read, a new state paper in I which their Czaß, with all the typographic distinctions accorded to the Supreme .Being—will never for • moment dream of doubting this new and false pre tence. Formerly they were told their Prince and Father was to lead them to do battle for the Ortho_ dox Faith ; " Ht." called them to a great religions struggle, and " His" officers were encouraged to make vows on their knees at the shrines of Czenstockow and Moscow before girding on the swords intended for use against the peaceful corn-grossers of the Principalities, or the troops who might be marched to their protection. Fanaticism having thus been fed, and military ardour been screwed up by a kind of Peter-the Hermit-appeal to a new ensile, we behold this new device come forth. National faith having been played upon to the utmost, the screw is turned upon national credulity and national pride. The Remises are told that the Pruth was crossed after the tee Powers had put a " pressure " upon Russia—that the invasion in Moldavia and Wallachia was the only resource against English and French invasion of— the Greek waters! The gullibility which accepts Nicnotas as a Deity, will never question the verity of this assertion—the national pride that did service against BONAPARTE in Russia will surely resent this alleged impudence of LOUIS NAPOLEON in &site Bay. Nothing short of Muscovite credulity can, however, be deceived by the CZAR'S transparent fallacy. If the Bests had first passed the Dardanelles when the firLTAN seemed in danger, the Autocrat night bare crossed the Proth ; but whilst the ships ma at Besika Bay, they had broken no treaty, bad craned so forbidden boundary, and had given no shadow of excuse for the Russian to cross a frontier. The Emperor NICHOLAS adds, therefore, by this new Manifesto,: another leaf to his false pretences, with out • chance of deceiving a single soul more enlight ened than his own ignorant serfs. Ma. Polies Commissioner MAYNE issued yes terday what may be culled Volume I. of an improved edition of Cab fares. We venture to prophesy for the work a popularity that will far exceed that of many of much greater pretensions. The grounds of our belief will be made manifest by a consideration of the document its-lf. It is entitled, " Fares for Hackney-carriages, and Distances Measured by Au thority of the Commissioners of Police." The dis tances in this first table are measured from Palace-yard. The gentlemen of both Houses of Parliament who have been legislating to give cheap cabs to the public are to be the first participators in the advantages derived from Mr. FITZROY'S bill. Luckily for London, the "cabbies " of the metropolis mulcted the M.P.'s : otherwise we might have hoped in vain for fares at Gd. a mile. Happily for us, honourable gentlemen " have been at the mercy of the drivers of those honoured vehicles which con veyed them away from the scene of their labours at all hours. We can imagine their delight at the ap- , pearance of a paper which will preserve them from the ancient system of cabman's black-mail. The Member of Parliament, anxious to do his duty, who has been till now sailing between the Scylla of the House, and the Charybdis of the cab, may now ride in peace. No longer shall the M.P., jaded by listening to Protectionist platitudes, or Irish debates, still listen on possessed with the horrid doubt whether the persecution of the cab-stand was not worse even than the oratory of NEwuEo.tra or the eloquence of the Brigade. Skilled as he might be in all other mysteries of European geography, he was obliged to confess that the mt.uurements of the dis- tanees between Westminster Hall and every street in the map of London were shrouded in impene trable mystery. There was no authority to which he could refer to enable him to conquer the difficulties that beset him when once enclosed in a cab. He knew well enough that the distance between the House and his home or his club was a moot point amongst the whole fraternity of cabmen, and that he was never certain what particular amount between one shilling and three would be demanded by the hitt: who might base the honour of carrying him away from the l ecene of his labours. The men who ought to have known the most about the matter were all in a state of incurable discord. They agreed but in one point, —that of never asking too little. But the day of d. übt is over. Their own legislation and the new work of Commissioner 'NI kVSE will throw light upon the subject. Ecouennic members may study the document this morning with a strange mixture of horror of the past and delightful anticipation of the future. We can pic ture the amazement with which these gentlemen 1 will receive the intelligence that a disbursement of 1 sixpence will be in future all the pecuniary sacri fice necessary to compen.ate the cabman who drives them from Palace-yard to Buckingham-gate. If there is something woeful in the reflection, that the hundreds of shillings paid in overcharges for this very distance will never return, it will be balanced by the pleasant certainty that Sir Ittetimen MAINE has made it impossible that such extortion should in future be put in practice. We should not be sur prised to find half the members of the Houses travel ling this morning between Buckingham-gate and Westminster, to assure themselves of the almost in credible fact that they can perform this feat twice over for the small charge of one shilling. Few sub ' jects possess greater features of tragic interest than the dramatic or pictorial representation of the cab man whea he first receives this particular coin fur the conveyance of the traveller over the distance in question. But there is consolation in the change of system even for "cabby" himself. There is every reason Ito believe that the increased demand for cabs under the new plan will lead to changes in the construe , tion and furnishing of those vehicles, advan tag, ous alike to the public and to the pro prietors. In proportion as the chance of ex tortion diminishes, the number of riders in cabs will increase. The greater the need that the cab horses should be of a better class than at present, the greater the likelihood that people will ride. Whilst there was a chance of extracting double fares from the ig norance or the timidity of travellers, there was as reason for the investment of large amounts of capital in the horsing or construction of cabs. Now, when the possibility of overcharging is reduced to its lowest point, proprietors will find it their interest to build vehicles adapted for speed, and have them drawn by horses capable of doing an iner,esed quan tity of work. The greater the number of riders, the better will be our cabs. There is reason to be lieve also that the alteration in cab fares must put omnibus proprietors on their mettle, and lead to the introduction of great improvements is these carriages. The fp eat inducements held out to the public to patronise omnibuses were alsopness and the absence of all uncertainty with respect to the amount of fares. The new tariff and the publicity intended to be given to it by the Com missioners of Police, will give cab proprietors the opportunity of holding out the same inducements. Many hundreds of persons are prevented daily from riding in cabs by the thorough state of uncer tainty in which they are as to the suns which ( will be chimed from them at the end of their journey. This uncertainty will no longer exist, and we seem likely to be more than ever a cab-riding population. The cabmen will doubtless improve in the same ratio as the horses and the cabs, and our lucks ‘nd legs be protected as well as our pockets. It is some satisfaction, however, in case of accident, that in Mr. MANNE'S new work the fares to all the hospitals occupy a prominent position in the list, so that members who are so unfortunate as to be thrown out of vehicles may be conveyed to the place where their wounds will be cured at a low and ex actly defined rate. We are promised that a similar list of distances and fares shall be placed at every cab stand in the metropolis ; and it is a safe prophecy that when this is done many a vote of thanks will be mentally offered to the two Great Cab Reformers —Mr. FirzaoY and Commissioner MAYNE. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES. OPERATION OF T N HE SLONDON .MOKE CONSUMING ACT I The Committee of the HOU.. of Lords on the Whitechapel Improvement Bill (the Berl of Derby in the chair), took some interesting evidence, last week, on the ope ration of,the SmokeConsamingAct throughout London. Pro lessor Braude, Superintendent of the Coining Department of the Mint, deposed that the furnaces there were supplied with the smoke consuming apparatus, and that the volumes of smoke that formerly annoyed the neighbourhood were now done away with. Carbonic acid gas was evolved, however, in invisible smoke, but not to an extent deleterious or in jurious to health. A material saving resulted in the lower price of the coal burned. One or two of the breweries of the city of London, the smoke from which used to be a treat nuisance, now consumed it entirely, and the saving effected in the feel was calculated to pay the first coot of apparatus in the coarse of three years. Mr. Leicester, foreman to Mesa. Easton and Amos, engineers of the waterworks that supply the Houses of Lords and Commons, and Trafalgar square, stated the operation of the sys tem in the neighbourhood of the National Gallery was Eland very effective, and he believed it was found equally so at Barclay and Perkins', Truman and Banbury's, and at the other large breweries, where the Jukes apparatus was employed, and was of opinion that it might be used advantageously in preventing the smoke nui sance in all parts of London, and so give the metropolis a comparatively clear sky. Mr. Perkins, engineer, stated there bad been a difficulty in carrying out the smoke con suming act in the City, and arising from the necessary miters lion of the works in the time prescribed by the •et. Smoke was not quite abolished in the city of London) et, but it wee quite time it should be. He was not aware there had hi= any prosecutions there for non-compliance with the mit. His attention had been directed by the city authorities to inventions for the purpose, and he recommended the Juke's apparatus, and that of Mr. Lee Stevens, for prevent ing the formation of smoke, and which were now being brought into general operation. Mr. J. Liddell, surgeon, of Whitechapel, thought it highly desirable the set should be extended to that district, as the smoke from the furnaces was a serious annoyance to the comfort and health of the inhabitants. FREE LIBRARY FOR FINSBURY. Last evening a fully attended public meeting of the inhabitants of Finsbury was held in the Royal British Institution, Cowper-street, City.read, for the purpose of establishing a free library for that district of the metropolis. The Right Hun. the Loan MAYOR, M.P. took the chair, at eight o'clock, and called upon Mr. Wall, the Secretary, who read the letters which had been received, approving the undertaking; among the writers were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the ;Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Goderich, Mr. Frankland Lewis, the Earl of Radnor, Mr. Mammal, Mr. Napier, M.P., &e. The Loan MAYOR then addressed the meeting. and said that the establishment of a Free Library for the borough of Finsbury should have his most strenuous support. As a working man he was fully convinced that this was a move in the right direction. and from the inclination of the work ing man himself, at the present day, to avail himself of every advantage offered him, there could he but little doubt of the success of this laudable undertaking. (Hear.) The meeting was addressed by Mr. Nicholls, Mr. C. F. Streetan, Mr. George Cruickshank, and other gentlemen, and a committee was appointed with the Lord Mayor for its president. A subscription was then entered into, headed by the Lord Mayor, and after a vote of thanks to the right hon. chairman, the meeting separated. ADMIRALTY, JULY I I.—APPOINIMENTS. —Flag Lieutenant H.

Baron Bruck threatens to break off the relations of Austria with Turkey if signal satisfaction for the affair at Smyrna be not rendered within twenty-tour hours. The Porte has deposed the new Governor of Smyrna, and sent a specilti commissioner to examine into the affair on the spot. Ali Pacha ascribes the origin of the affray to the Austrian consul, who kidnapped M. Costa. MOLDAVIA. The Wallachian corps of occupation is to reach Bucharest on the Bth. SERVIA. The Austrian Major-General Baron Mayrhoffer has gone on a minion to Prince Alexander of Servia. SPAIN. MADRID, iVLT 6. The ministry is again in the midst of a crisis. It is said that General Lersuodi has offered his resigna tion. HOLLAND. A document has been published which it is antici pated will much assist in putting an end to the dif ference with the Papal government. It consists in a note from Cardinal Antonelli authorising a modifica tion of the oath required to be taken by the catholic prelates, who have also permission accorded them to reside out of their dioceses. They enter thew not to make an offensive war on the Porte, which on the contrary, we shall avoid with all our power, as long as the Porte shall not force us to this step; but because the Porte, in per sisting to refuse us the moral guarantee which we bad a right to expect, obliges us to substitute for it a material guarantee; because the position which the two powers have taken up in the ports and waters of Turkey, and even within view of its capital, being such u, under present circumstances, we cannot re gard in any other light than Oust of maritime occespa- I Om, gives us an additional reason for re-esta blishing the equilibrium of the reciprocal situations by taking a military position—(Parceque Is position qu'ont prise lee deux Puissances dans lea . ports et Niue de son Empire, en vue memo de sa capitate, ne liouvant etre envisages par nous dans les circon stances actie.lles que comme une occupation maritime, nous donne en outre une raison de retablir requilibre des situations reciproques moyennant une prise de position militaire). But further than this we have no intention of holding this position longer than our honour and security require. It will be altogether temporary :it will only serve us for a pledge until better counsels prevail in the minds of the Sultan's ministers. In occupying the Principalities for a time, we disavow beforehand all ideas of conquest. We do not pretend to any aggrandisement of our territory. Knowingly and voluntarily we will not attempt to excite any rising among the Christian populations of Turkey. As soon as the latter shall have accorded to us the satisfaction which is our due, - .e, and when at the same time the pressure which the two powers exercise on us shall cease, our troops shall at once return within the Russian confines. As to the inhabitants of the Principalities, the presence of our corps d'armee will not impose on them either new charges or contributions. The supplies furnished by them to us will be paid for out of our military chest at the proper time, and at rates agreed to beforehand with their governments. The principles and rules of conduct which we have prescribed to ourselves in this respect you will find set forth in the accompanying proclamation, which Prince Gorts chakoff, chief of the corps e occupation, has been instructed to publish upon his entry into the pro vinces. " We do not in the least conceal, Monsieur, how full of meaning is the attitude which we take, and what consequences may follow from it should the Turkish government compel us to come out of the narrow and limited circle in which we desire to re main ; but the position into which Turkey thrusts us by pushing things to an extreme, by refusing us all legitimate satisfaction, by not responding by any concession whatever to all those which Prince Menchi koff successively made, bothas to the form and mita the matter of our propositions leaves no other ciurse open to us. More than this: the principles so peremp torily laid down, notwithstanding the moderation of the language, in the letter of Iteschid Pasha, as well as in his note of the 26th ult., to the representatives of the four Powers at Constantinople, taken strictly, would go so far as to place all our acquired rights in question, and annul all our anterior transactions. "In fact, if the Ottoman government judges it to be contrary to its independence and rights of sove reignty to enter into any engagement whatever, even under the form of a simple note, in which it should stipulate with a foreign govcrnment concern ing the protection of religion and its churches, what would become of the engagements which it has already contracted towards ne under a new obliga tory form to protect our religion and its churches in Turkey? Before we could admit a principle so abso lute we must with our own hands tear up the treaty of Kainardji, with those which confirm it, and volun tarily abandon the rights which they have conferred upon us of watching over the efficacious protection of the Greek religion in Turkey. " Does the Porte wish this? Has it the intention of escaping from all its anterior obligations, and to employ the present crisis to abolish for ever an order of relations which time has consecrated? " Impartial Europe will consider that if the ques tion were placed in these terms it would become for Russia, notwithstanding all her conciliatory inten tions, insoluble by pacific means. Then it would be for us a question of treaties, our ancient influence, our moral credit, our, dearest national and religious sentiments. " Let us be permitted to say that the present con test, and all the excitement which the press has treated concerning it in the public mind, reposes on a pure misunderstanding, or on a want of sufficient attention to our political antecedents. " It seems forgotten that Russia at present vir tually enjoys, by position and treaty, an ancient right of watching over the effectual protection of its reli gion in the East ; and the maintenance of this right, which it will not abandon, is represented as imply ing the new pretension of a protectorate, at once religious and political, the importance of which, pre raft and future, is greatly exaggerated. "It is to this sad misunderstanding that the crisis of the moment is due. "The tendency and consequences of our new poli tical protectorate have no real existence. We only demand for our co-religionaries in the East the strict status quo, the preservation of the privileges which they have enjoyed ab antiquo under the aegis of their sovereign. We will not deny that from this may result for Russia what may justly be denominated a religious patronage. This is what we have always exercised in the East. But if hitherto the Independence and sovereignty of Turkey have been able to exist together with this patronage, why should either the one or the other suffer in the future from the moment when our pretensions are reduced to what is at bottom a mere contirmatiog? " We have said, and we repeat it, the Emperor no more desires to-day, than he has desired in the pest, to subvert the Ottoman empire or to aggrandise him self at its expense. After the very moderate use which he made of the victory of Adrianople, when that victory had placed the Porte at his mercy ; after having, alone in Europe, saved Turkey in 1833 from inevitable dismemberment ; after having in 1839 taken among the Powers the initiative of the propositions which, executed in common, saved the Sultan from seeing his throne give place to an Arab empire, it becomes almost fastidious to give proofs of this assertion. On the contrary, the fundamental principle of our August Master has always been to maintain the present status quo of the East as long as possible. He has wished thus, and he wishes it still, because such Is In fact the well-understood interest of Russia, &wady too vast to need territorial extension ; be aming prosperous, peaceable, inoffensive, and placed as a useful intermediary between powerful states, the Ottoman Empire averts the shock of rival powers, which, if it fell, would at once encounter each other over its ruins; because human foresight wearies itself in vain in seeking a combination proper to fill the void which the disappearance of this great body would leave in the political systems. But if such are the real, avowed, and sincere views of the Emperor, it is necessary, in order for him to remain faithful to them, that Turkey should act towards us in a manner which will allow us to co-exist with her. She must respect her treaties with us, and the consequences which flow from them ; she must avoid acts of bad faith, secret persecutions, perpetual vexations prac tised towards our religion, which would create an in tolerable situation for us, and one which would com pel us to trust for a remedy to blind chance. " Such, sir, are the considerations which you are charged to represent to the government of —, bringing to its knowledge, by the present despatch, the resolutions and intentions of the Emperor. " Receive, &c., (Signed) " N 1 CONSTANTINOPLE, Jtrxe 27. Since my last of the lath inst. a printed circular, addressed by Russia to her representatives at the different courts, has been distributed here, and will no doubt ere this have reached London. The affair of the Shrines, it maintains, was the sole object of Prince Menchikoff's mission; and this alone will show the value of the v►'eole document, and afford ample subject for the answer and refutations of the press. The rumour respecting the mediation of France and Austria, I noticed as generally circulated here, has not been confirmed : that of the latter power would most probably suit the Emperor, and is even supposed to be sotto vnee an inspiration of his own. It remains, however, to be seen whether such a combination would suit the interests of the Porte. She would naturally prefer the intervention of the Four Powers, which would of course lead to a treaty like that of 1841, enabling her to carry out that most desirable of all plans for her security, 'hat is, to enter into the European confederation of states. A conference of several hours was held yesterday at the English embassy, Therspia, at which the French ambassador and the Austrian and Prussian ministers assisted. The Caradoc quitted port during the night with despatches. News of the Russians entering the provinces is expected to-morrow. If such should arrive, we are at another stage of the question. It is an in fraction of the treaties, and evidently a cases belli. What the Porte will do under such circumstances is not generally known. How ever, it will enable her to appeal by a r manifesto to all Europe against an atrocious j violation of law and international right. How the French and English governments hill act under j these circumstances, is also doubtful ; and whither , the ambassadors have been instructed to order up I the fleets in case of that occurrence. However, one I, thing is certain, that if this measure be delayed to the approach of winter, the fleets will become utterly useless ; while on the other hand the Russian hordes, inured to all winds and weathers, will be enabled to advance and carry all before them. A grave and deplorable circumstance took place at Smyrna a few days ago, a sort of surcroit de niallteur at the present moment. A Hungarian refugee, it appears, had been for some time under the surveillance of the Austrian agents in that place, and was finally consigned to the brig of war Hussar by order of the Austrian consul,ll.Vekbecker. The com panions of the man, it seems, very much provoked at this occurrence, had vowed vengeance on the first officer of the vessel who should appear on shore; and unfortunately this opportunity soon presented itself, in the persons of three young men of good family, of whom one was shot through the head, and the other two poignarded, and are in a very dangerous state. It is fortunate that these rioters were not subjects of the Porte ; however, from the circumstance of their being refugees, and under her protection, I fear it will lead to some disagreeable affair. It is said the Austrian legation has been at work about it day and night. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVEN (NI3 The Independence Beige, which arrived here late this afternoon, contains a new circular of Count Nes selrode's, published in the Journal qf St. Petersburg, and dated June 20. This circular will probably have alrealy appeared in London. It is the great news of the day here. The question of peace or war is now brought to a short issue. If peace must be ' had at any price there is but one course to take : Turkey must yield unconditionally, and England and France must shamefully withdraw their fleets from the mouth of the Dardanelles at the bidding of the Czar Nicholas. The present manifesto is infinitely more ar rogant than Nesselrode's last. England and France arc treated as aggressors, and the occupation of the Danu bian provinces is impudently represented as a measure of reprisal against them. The object of the circular of June 11, is stated to have been to inform the great powers of " our intentions", and especially to recom mend Fiance and Great Britain not to complicate the difficulties of the situation by prematurely taking steps calculated on the one hand to encourage the opposition of the Porte, and on the other, to engage the honour and dignity of the Emperor of Russia in the question to a greater extent than they already were. M. Nesselrode now regrets to ar.- nounce that this recommendation was made in vain. The two maritime powers have not, he says, thought fit to defer to the considera tions which his government recommended to their serious attention. Taking the initiative, they have anticipated a purely " eventual " measure by the " effective " one of bringing their fleets to the ports of the Ottoman Empire at the mouth of the Dardanelles. They have thus made a menacing demonstration against Russia—they have taken a species of " maritime occupation" of Con stantinople, which urgently called upon Russia to advance her army across the Pruett in order to be upon equal terms with them. The refusal of the Porte being supported by France and England, it is now " more than ever impossible to modify the resolutions" taken by the Emperor. This official declaration that the Czar will not yield an inch ' entirely confirms a statement made by the Berlin Times in more emphatic language, that no effort, whether made " in a friendly or hostile sense," could induce the Etnpeor to depart from what he believed to be his duty to the true faith, and that he " cannot renounce the slightest thing, however little essential it may be which he asks; he must persist in requiring the literal and absolute accomplishment of his demands." The present circular renews the hypocritical assu rance that the Emperor of Russia does not wish to make war, but it says distinctly that the provinces will not be evacuated "until better counsels shall pre vail in the cabinet of the Sultan, until the Porte shall have given the satisfaction demanded, and until the pressure resulting from the attitude assumed by the maritime powers shall have ceased." There can be no mistake about this. If England and France are prepared to submit to the humiliating course chalked out for them, the best thing is to send for the fleets home at once, so that commerce may with out delay enjoy the benefit of such a pence as the present time can alone afford. The Bourse appears to anticipate this for the funds have again riseu. The Univers points out some errors in the French translations of the manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas. It says: One would sty that the translator wished to veil from the eyes of Furore the pretewions of Russia. The mani festo dors not only say that the promise of the Sultan was soon broken, but there is in the text the word " traitoronsly" (vierolomno). The las* phrase of the manifesto also weakens the idea of the Emperor. Full of hope in Gin)," says the Czar, "we shall march to the defence of the orthodox faith." The translator has omitted the word vpere'd (for ward). The Czar does not declare in a general manner that he will continue to defend the orthodox church, he announces that he will not remain in Moldavia and in Wal las:his, but that he will go further, and will pursue his march into the states of the Grand Seigneur. This conclu sion is in perfect harmony with the spirit which dictated the Imperial manifesto. An article in the Ihniteur is devoted to a con sideration of the fortified cities in Germany, of the value of the majority of which, in a strategical point of view, but an indifferent opinion is entertained by the writer. Of Vienna it is stated that experience has repeatedly shown its inability to resist an army, viz., in 1805, 180 e, and 1848. Antwerp is included amongst the German fortresses, as it is stated it ought to be regarded as serving rather to the defence of Germany than of the country in which it is situated. Considerable firmness was evinced throughout the day at the Bourse, and a slight advance in prices had even taken place in the Three per Cents., at the termination of business, the quotation for money showing an advance of lee., and that for the end of the month of 15c. In the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for the account no change occurred, whilst for cash there was a decline of lee. An advance of sf. took place in Bank of France shares.

Bank Stock, 2,66.3 f. AUSTRIA. Count Vetter has been despatched to St. Peters burg by the Emperor of Austria with a letter of con gratulation on the occasion of the Emperor Nicholas's RUSSIA AND TURKEY. We receive through Vienna the text of Prince Gottechakoff's proclamation to the people of Moldavia. It corresponds exactly with the telegraphic account given of it in Friday's Express. Some of the passages deserve especial attention : Ills Majesty the Emperor, my august lord and master, has ordered me to occupy your country with the armies, the command of which he has deigned to confide to me. We come among you neither with projects of conquest nor with the intention to modify the institutions under which your live, or the political position which solemn treaties have guaranteed to ycu. The provisional occupation of the Principali.les which I em ordered to effect is for no other purpose than that of an immediate and efficacious protection in grave and unfore seen circumstances, when the Ottoman government, dis trusting the numerous proofs of a sincere alliance which the Imperial court has never ceased to give it since the concha. sion of the:treaty of Adrianople,replies to our most equitable proposals with refusals, and opposes the most offensive sus picions to our disinterested advice. In his magnanimity, in his constant desire to maintain peace in the East as well as in Europe, the Emperor will avoid au aggressive war against Turkey, as lung as his dignity and the interests of his empire shall permit him to do so. . . . On the day on which be obtains the reparation which is due to him, and the guarantees which be has a right to claim for the future, his troops shall return within the fron tiers of Russia. . .

I also execute an order of his Imperial Majesty in declaring to you that the presence of his Majesty's troops in your country shall not impose on you any fresh charges or contributions; that tho forage and rations for the troops shall in due time, and at a rate appointed and agreed on in advance by your governments, be paid for from our military treasury. Lnok tranquilly to the future ! Engage with security in your agricultural labours and commercial speculations! Be obedient to the laws under which you live, and to the established authorities. It is by the faithful discharge of these duties that you will acquire the best claim to the general solicitude and the powerful protection of his Majesty the Emperor. GORTSCRAKOFF. More important is the following new despatch, signed by Count Nesselrode. We translate from the Journal de Saint Petersboury of June 20 (0. S.) : RUSSIAN NOTIFICATION TO THE EURO- PEAN POWERS. Clacvw.e..) "Sr. PBTBRIBURG, NONE 20. m . " My circular despatch of May 30 apprised you of the rupture of our diplomatic relations with the Ot toman government. You were therein charged to make known to the Cabinet to which you are accre dited the wrongs which we have suffered from the Porte, our unsuccessful efforts to obtain satisfaction, and the successive concessions which our sincere de sire to maintain amicable and good relations with the Turkish government has dictated. You know that after having renounced by turns the ides el a guarantee obtained under the form of a seam vention, Sened, or any other synallagmatie set whatever, we have reduced our demands to the simple signature of a note such as that the text of which was transmitted to you. You will have re marked that, except in what more particularly con cerns the Holy Places, this note does not contain in respect of the general guarantee claimed in favour of the church (cults) anything more than a simple confirmation of that which we have long possessed, I observed to you, Monsieur, that in the eyes of the Emperor the signature of this document constituted the true and only reparation which he could accept fa the offence co mmitted towards him by the don of the &man of 1852, as also of the personal premises which the Sultan bad joined thereto. I sheaved, further, that such an act was besides indie possabk, since the obtaining of new firmans liable is be infringed like that which had gone before them could no more serve for a sufficient pledge to as for the future. Finally, I did not conceal from rwistbat, if after eight days' reflection the Ottoman should refuse to comply with our demand, the Emperor would find himself obliged to have recourse to measures more decisive than a simple interruption of relations in order to obtain satisfaction. " In placing this ultimatum before the Porte, we had given to the great cabinets particular explana tions respecting our intentions. We had especially requested of France and England not to complicate the difficulties of the situation by their attitude—not prematurely to take measures the effect of which would be on the one hand to encourage the Porte in opposition, and on the other to engage, more than was then already the case, the honour and dignity of the Emperor. " I regret to have to announce to you today that this twofold attempt has unhappily been in vain. ' The Porte, as you will pee by the subjoined letter of Reschid Pacha, has just returned, in an swer to that which I addressed to it, a negative, or at least an evasive, response. "On the other - hand, the two maritime powers have not thought fit to defer to the considerations we recommended to their serious attention. Taking the initiative before us, they have considered it indispensable to precede immediately by an effective measure those which we had only announced to them as purely eventual, since we made them depend on the final resolutions of the Porte, and their execution has not commenced at the moment at which I write. They at once sett their fleets into the waters of Constantinople. They occupy already the seas and ports of the Ottoman Empire at the entrance of the Dardanelles. By that advanced attitude the two powers have placed us under the weight of a threatening demonstration, which, as we forewarned them, has added new com plications to the crisis. " After the refusal of the Porte, supported by the ' I I armed demonstrations of France and England, it became more than ever impossible to modify the resolutions which the Emperor had made contingent on that act. "In consequence his Imperial Majesty has just sent to corps of our troops stationed in Bessarabia orders to pass the frontier, and enter the Princi palities. BOURSE. Our Aceuunt. • Yee PAR IS .
