Nft. ...allemisk ali. Ma. fasourit—illinies Y. Ift.--1111einses. Mr Ns. LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24. AT the present crisis it is of infinite impsetanat that the public mind should be directed to same &A -WN object. So completely has Ramis destroyed all amildesce in her sincerity, that no single individual ems bo foetid who is willing to hazard a prediction es Lathe conclusion of the present perplexity. Every stn fish thoroughly permadsd that the terms which have boss embodied in the Austriaa pro peels are In themselves adequate, ovary use fools thoroughly psrmaded that the details nessesary for their complete development may readily he settled, provided only use single onditice smote—a bona lide intention on therm of Russia to be Wand by her own tome, and to submit to any stipalations that ars the logical and inevitable comispomso of the general principles adopted in the Austrian proposal. Bat the British public and the British Government an naturally slow to believe in the asperity of the Baran Government, and haw the present per plexity of the public sand. We know what we want —we have the means of enforcing oar tiossande—the spoiler is dews, and the pistol at his head ; and the only question is whither wean sussed in so express bg oar wants that the terms used shall he such as Mee as lap or Maio To ban a doubt es." Let us be firmly persuaded that we shall be out witted if it be passible to outwit as, sad let as take sir masons sogordiagly. The mos to draw up this betty are not men, like TALLITRAND, who use agate for the perposo of eoessalieg their thoughts, Ist area no the coanyasems of Ineols'elon and this pleaders of the Temple, whose expem function it is to us language utterly incapable el • double iaterpretatios. The submission of the essay, such is it is, has het wrong from him by torture. He will palter with se is a double gems if he on ; we have the thombeerew in our own hands, and if we fill to hind him fast by our parchment bonds, instead ',pity, we shall meet with contempt. Let us therefore he vigilant. AM is the »erase of this vigilance let us sot bats one jot of our demands. The negotiations should, therefore, occupy as short • time os possible, and indeed, SUM both poetise, if sincere in their preindons, are bent upon • 00111111011 object, there am be so conceivable seesegity for prolooging them. ihert however as is the period over which they must Mead, even that period is of vital consonance, and may be turned to great account. It is clear that one of the grand results of the m ost struggle must be to render the Black Bes • sea asseesible to the coarsens of the whole world. If, therefore, peen is coookided, an ninon im petus will be gins to the tide, not only with Mathes Russia and the oast of ?dispel* bat with the pert ot Trained. Trobisond it the port by which the larger portico of the commerce el Lbstral Asia from Penis and the rich plains of Mesopotamia lade its way to the markets of Europe. Bs late m the year 1841, the shores of the Black Bon, OS Mr. Layman tells On, were runty visited by a Leap neosi, whereas in 11963 they were coasted by Meamers belonging to three componies, which tea:led Ready nobly at the principal porta, sad we are eguntid the is traffic 'sough for more. The customs duke levied at Trebisead would, of Donee, form a mat valuable mares of renege to Turkey, sod, Has Turkish empire is to survive as • power in Ease, it is abseletely necessary that it should bighead mid develop its commercial moues& Now, the gnat road from Trebisoad to entail Asia passes through Ersnoem, which is distant, sanding to HAMILTON, 64 hour., or 169 English miles. But the sonamenicatioa between these two places, instead et being by a grand worlC such as that leading Lea the Moan-bridge to Bhrewsbery, is sighing bat a mentain track deep is mud, mow, or dry according to the season of the year. The bridges, we ere told—built when the main and repair of public works were impend epos the local priesen, and domed a sacred duty by the semi ludepeadeot families who ruled in the provinces as Peaks or Derehheye—have long been pertained to fall into decay, and commerce is frequently stopped for days by the swollen torrent or the bedlam stream. It is impossible, of course, within the eon pass of an article to describe in detail the diScultise of this road. Bet books ci travels thrcup this district win the heads if every reader : nor indeed is it necessary to say mire than this—that through a tent of country destined to newt Europe with Asia and all its wealth, there are mountain torrents and deep ravines to be crossed without bridges; steep descents down a Antis mass of broken reeks through which, as the traveller looks back, it seems impossible for the ingenuity of man to And a path ; or at best a narrow, paved causeway, co out up by keg trains of beasts et burden ea to be often im passable. If peace were declared tomorrow, the nay Ant thing to which the Turkish Govern meat would direct their attention—the vary first thing which oar Goverment would urge upon them —weld be the remodelling of this road. The thing his suet been attempted before. If Axis is to be civilised, and the commerce of the Bast extended, it must now begone a reality. But, on the other hand, if the war is to sestinas, and we are to have nether campaign, the making of this road to &se rous is meads! to the very existence of the Turkish empire in Asia. As a general rule, no great armies have over bees mond, or ever will be moved, with nausea, except along great roads. At present it is almost impossible to transport the necessary moni tions of war to the garrison. And indeed the fall of Mare is to be attributed much more to want of the means of »victualling the plow from the anent of geed reeds thee to any other canes. If the Hessian an to be resisted is Asia, &mown must be held at all beards, for it is the key of the Turkish empire in Asis, the portal to Persia and Bagdad. This is no exaggeration. Boise pirsoas indeed have hastily atesisded that an army loading in Mingrelia might advisee through Kumla to Tiflis, but they forget this is order to do this they would sot ooly be obliged to take the strong brines ci Akhaltsik on their right, but to force the enormously straw pass lying between Buns and Tiflis. Othen again assume that an army might be landed at Batons, sad 110 take the Russians advancing upon &MOM in rear, bat they forget that the fevers which prevail in the proposed stems of operations are so deadly that the larger properties of the invadiag army would sertsialy wish : is oddities to which it is well to remember that that great officer, Ptunsvrnen. abandoned the Batons Hoe is 1828 in mitssequenee ef Ines very salladife. No : if the Itemians are to be inked, or if the Rossini posoraricas la Georgia are to be attacked, the bus of operations met be Troll scud aed Sztersea. We have no spas. at present to point oat the IPsalibis plan at each act • admire movement, bat the operations of Nankai PAIMIEWITCH in 1828-9 throw considerable light epos the subject. It is clear, however, that the first neoessity—the foundation - stone of the whole superstructure— is a good road between Trebisoud and Erzeroure. For the oomplatios of this design every nerve should be drained. Daring the winter, indeed it may be difficult, or even impomeible, to begin, but ample arraagmesste should be at miss made to do so at the my earliest momsat. The English Govern ment, however, should take the ',illative. Nor is there the least raison to doubt that they might, from swag the sambees of an well skilled in Bagiish read-making, essay select a staff which would be perfectly espable of earrying this moat important design into szscatim. Br the retirement of Mr. MACAULAY the How of 00•1110 MS loses one of the greatest of its literary, and not the least of its oratorical, asisisides. Exactly coeval with the eatery, Mr. MACAULAY resides from public life at the rips age of My-six—aa sir at which the faculties of the statesman may gesseally M supposed to be in the highest state of elleissey and rigour. At that age the dreams of youth have o ng beset dissipated, the hard scorn with which earlier manhood sometimes takes a pride in showing itself superior to such dreams is toning down into the mel lowed Inatome of a superior wisdom, and the mind which has thought, and the heart which he. salved, through many phases of a variously active life, may fairly be supposed to have arrived at that stage of experience when the active energise of both may best costribute to the welfare of mankind. At seek period it is that Idaccrur quits the arena of the Senate for the calm seclusion of the study. Ws do net say that he is wrong. The ant as nesseemeat, indeed, of such a change almost as. avoidably carries the mind back to the days of hie earlier triumphs—to the days when the crack article os films "flamed in the forehead" of the Edinburgh Itanno for October, 1826—and when some six years later the crack speech of the young member for Cala*, in the phrase of basset Lord Amos's, "fairly electrified the hoses." In those days of inneeent esthusissm, when " Astro' Max" was supposed to have returned to this planet, for the express purposed inaugurating 'millennium of Whigs —young MACAU/AY was everywhere spoken of u " the masa of the *pooh." Brilliant indeed for many a year was "the dust and light scattered about his chariot as he went." Season after mama the intent*. teal treat of the day was llacautrts last article in the EdislntrgA, Macautry's last speech is the Rouse. At length the inevitable Nemesis prevailed. Doll writes", believed to be profound bantam they were felt to be obeyers, hinted in "the circles" that the essays owed their sparkle to their shallowness: lead's stutterers, the torment of the Home when on their leis, the oracles of the slabs when in their arm- Eire, accused the speeches of being mere spoken asks% the felicitous product of laborious art and a softesdre memory. A. is always the case, these sidstures had a sallicient basis of truth to rendes then piensible. Profundity as a thinker, and spom ameausesse as a speaker, were sot the most prong. neat cheresteristice of Mr. MACAULAY. sad the " ciseles " never thought of Wields, whether Ilk* wait of prominence might not in sairedevesbasaks to the marked superiority of this distingaliml men in almost every other gift that censtitates m lee writer, and an accomplished speaker.

Vic► Admiral Trehouart will have Paris to-morrow for Teaks, when the bulk of the Mediterranean squadron is now assembled. The Bretagne has ». mired orders to sail immediately from Brest to Tooke. This is the vowel on which the Admiral will hoist his flag. Ulterior orders will settle the definitive composition of this squadron.

It is stated in the papers that the Crimean medal, given by the Queen to the French army, is so heavy that is many oases it Wipe from the pin by which it is fastened to the soldier's breast, and that no lees than a dozen, picked up in the streets, have been brought by the Anders to the prefecture of police. Inasmuch as all finders are not honest, the informal, is that many mare must have been lost. I hope, and indeed fully believe, that this must be the explanation of a paragraph in some English journals Malin that several of the soldiers pawned or sold their medals the day after they were given to them. I cannot bat regard this statement ea libellous, nay, absurd. Not only are French soldiers the least likely of any in the world to Nell an honouralge decoration for money, but supposing any man so degraded as to brave the severe military punishment for such an °Shoes he would have great difficulty in finding a purchaser in Paris, and certainly no pawnbroldng establishment would dare to rewire each a pledge. Queen Christina's second daughter was married today at Malisalson to Prime Drag*, a descendant of a senatorial family of Rome. Several Spaniards of distinction, among whom were M.

It has generally been supposed that fancy breed is exempted from the tax, and may be sold at any price the baker chooses to ask for it. But a court of law has just held this notion to be a vulgar error, and has sentenced a baker named Mauna, at 'ou tstay aux Bane, to eight days' imprisonment and a fine of &Orr. for having sold fancy breed without weighing it. _ _ Tide ha. been one of the most extraordinary days ever men at this season of the year.

During this last week Naples has been as gay end brilliant as wort festivities could make it. It is in sod @mania with these rejoicing. that public expec tation has been disappointed in every respect. la spite of the rumours to circulation, which no one in • posi tion to know anything ever believed, there has been no amnesty—not even a Barabbes has been released ; nor has any new ministerial appointment bees made. In fact, Naples is without a government: there are only heads of office., and in several instances each one of these is supposed to hold two or three port foglins. Take Bianckini for instance, who is Director of the Interior and the Police, and Minister of Finance and Public Works. The system works well, his Majesty says; and so there ii every reason tosuppose that it will continue. Perhaps the principle of ab solutism has been more broadly laid down, both by word and act, than it has been recently in this country. "Am I,* said M. Brenier to Gush, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, " to take this as your de claims, or as that of your royal master." "Refer M. Bossier to nse,'' was the order of his Majesty, on hearing the complaint of Cords. So in act, the directors are merely heads of Aloes, drat secretaries, perfectly irresponsible for any advice they may give to the sovereign, who is the centre and scarce of all political light, heat, and balsams. The system, however, works well, it is said, and seder the com bined influence of vanity and obstinacy, there is no immediate expectation of any change. With regard to M. Bremer, I am of opinion that there has been a very false impression formed, sot of him, bat of the objects of his mission hem for nothing more boa been staked, I believe, than the =- wisdom of comestibles, which, as far as grain is crocorned, has been positively refused. No one in the diplomatic world either knows anything more that has been brought under diatomite, so that the new French minister moot be the most reserved and pendent of diplomatists or cannot be in treaty about anything. The observa tions of the Emperor to the Neapolitan minister on the New Year's-day have made a profoond sensation is court circles here. They are considered as indiast ing that tranquillity is no proof of either sleep or oblivion. There has been an attempt in Naples during the last week to interest the foreign residents and natives on the wabject of the growth of cotton by free labour. The idea is half commercial and half philan thropieal, and taking it under this latter expect there is great emus for joy that so practical a view has been taken of the greet 'object of slavery. For though the evil might in the coarse of ages yield to the improved moral feeling of society, it will do so mach more quickly when the maintenance of it is shown to be contrary to interest. I shall address myself solely however to the commercial question, whilst I give a short account of the visit of Mr. Clegg, of Manchester. If he did not originate he is at all events very actively engaged in pro meting the sueeessief the movement to which I have alluded, and daring the short time he has been in Naples ha has managed to interest a few enterprising , men on the subject. Mr. Clegg's statements are very clear, and his statistics show that he is not • ngaged I. the pursuit of any will o'-the.whisp. The enor mous annual consumption of cotton in England, amounting to 913,200,00011 m, shows that a vast field is required for its growth; and the probable lames* in the demand during the last twenty years amount ing to double the quantity, leads one reasonably to expect still a progressive incise's. Under such eir combine:es, the speculation cannot be a bad one, and it becomes • question, also, whether the cultivation of what is now almost • necessary of life should be left to one country. Egypt had already taken it up, and Ablest Packs had refused the offer of 90,0001. made by an English house in Alexandria for one year's crop. France was doles all in her power to encourage its growth in Algeria by guaranteeing • good pries for three years. It is somewhat in the same way that Mr. Clegg proposes to work hers. He offers to take all that is grown at the market price. It was suggested at a meeting at the Rev. Mr. Pugh's. the chaplain of the embassy, that many obstacles existed in his way, such as high rents, the quality of the soil, sad habits of the people; but more KoWste inquiries enable me to remove them, and to show that the Two Sicilia; would Is every Minot be admirably adapted for the cultivation of cotton. The average rental of land is , not high, and of sandy swampy ground salted to the shiest proposed very low. Of such laud, toe, there fe a A met quantity lying almost waste on the shores of th e Adriatia from Leon to Brindisi, and between To dell' Annuceata and CasteHamar*, and other pies, C o tt on , t o o, Lii actually grown both in Sicily sod e e the oriatinent, go that the experiment would notb, . about new, and it has iiotirely succeeded. In Si c i ly, two m il l i ons o f pounds are grown annually, belt o f which kis:ported to Naples sod the other halt is coo. slimed in the islas4 ; in the continental pe r t of the kingdom about g,200,000 lbs. are grown and consumed, whilst 800 , 0001 ba• are imported hem New Orleans. The* annual produ ce of the kingdom is therefore allout 4 ,200,000 llm, whilst the annul consumption is ai. , ont 5,000,0001 In proof of the yet greater cspAbilities of the i sonntry, a letter from • Sicilian merchant now bibs me says :—a Notwithstanding the great con. 1 songdmi t _lt would no the difficult to export a qu an tity f of oillon" We report, therefore, founded on Acts, is eadanntlyemeenreging to the project of Mr. Clegg ; and all Mkt is wanting is a little capital and a little 1 enterpriae-.just what the Neapolitans have not. 1 Enterprise Perhaps they have, but not that necessary element which is the life and soul of commercial sac- ass% and of all speculation—faith in oneself, and faith in others. The former has been destroyed by the political tutelage in which the Neapolitans have been and still are held—the latter has been utterly nasiermined by a system of government which has ono oU that it can do to demoralise the country. The isperbmet, therefore, of growing or extending the growth of cotton by free labour in this kingdom nod be undertaken by the foreigner, and little doubt of considerable success could exist, assuming my facts to be true, as I believe theni to be. DENMARK. The Folkthiag (Second Chamber) of the Danish Diet elected on the 18th, in the room of Count Knuth de Knuthenberg, deceased, M. Briton, one of its mem. ben and a judge of the Supreme Court, to the post o f member of the High Court of Justice of the Kingdom, which is aboat to try the impeached ministers. M.

THE REPRESENTATION OF EDINBURGH. At a 1111111STOIS and highly influential meeting of the Liberal aosaraittoe of the electors of the City of Edit burgh, held i• the Waterloo Hotel, on Tuesday current. the Lord Provost in the chair, the following resolution was adopted with sualasation "That Adam Black, Esq., has strong claims upon the electors et Edinburgh, from his long and disinterested pub lic serviwes, to be one of the representatives of the city in Parliament ; and is a moot fit and proper person to fill the venom caused by the retirement of the Bight Hon. T. B. Masmsiey: T►at, accordingly, a requisition should forth with he addressed to Mr. Black, requesting him to allow himself to be pat in nomination at the ensuing election." The Scotsman says of lir. Black:—" In •very department Of life he has merited the title and the rewards of • good eitisen—to all of as his manner of life is known from his youth upwards. But in politics, or rather in all public affairs, he has shown an aptitude and ability even above his opportunities.

Lat terly he has neither sought nor shunned public life. If, therefore, an apparently preponderating portion of the eitisens shall he found inclined to request his services in this new and higher capacity, we cannot believe that he will decline a duty so obvious and an honour so splendid." la Ws famweliwords, Mr. Macaulay, it will have bees seen, indicates that this step would have beam taken owner, had he act bees dissuaded from it—ffret, by hopes of better health, sad, later, by the shames of any symptom of &ma tisisetion swag the coustitneney.
