THE ample correspondence from Constantinople published to-day muse it certain that the Ottoman Empire has narrowly escaped, and that perhaps only fora time, • crisis which must have shaken it to it. centre. The conspiracy against the SCLTA.V, which the telegraph had informed es, on the beet official authority, was the wild and beam lees enterprise of • few Kurds and Cireamienr proves to have been a formidable coalition aiming at nothing less than the entire destruction of the public men who, with some insignificant changes of far. tune, have monopolised power in Turkey foe the last twenty years, and a complete revolution in the prin ciples and practice of the Government. This is not a mean plot, the expedient of some dia. appointed and desperate minister to avenge himself on his fortunate rivals. The list of the accused and suspected, for which, as for other details of the general dramatic development of the conspiracy, we refer to the letters of our correspondents, is made up of men of good position, generals of division, colonel, and lieutenant-colonels, great teachers of the laws with other learned persons of inferior grade, bat it commies the name of no person of the highest rank. In feet, the mere composition of this confederacy is sufficient to suggest the thought that we have here the very class of men who, patriotism apart, would be likely to feel themselvenaggrieied by the corruption and exclusiveness ef the Government. Active and able officers and lawyers, cut off from the pursuits and the career which would be fairly open to them under •vigorous and national administration, occupy a posi tion well fitted to open their eyes to the wrongs which the whole country suffers from the usurped authority of a knot of great Puttee. This, which seems natural, is what our correspondents assure us has actually happened. The energy of repressed ambition has once more combined with public spirit to attempt the violent and irregular reversal of mischiefs and abuses too great to be longer borne. The authors and members of this conspiracy claim for their enterprise... might have been expected, • thoroughly national and patnotie character. Whether its leaden possessed the energy and virtue to preserve it from running the vulgar course of conspiracies, and n. suiting in a despotism as bad as that supplanted, with the additional weakness of illegitimacy, we need not Dow inqaire. Commencing with violence, they would probably find themselves carried away by the farce of the revolutionary elements they bad evoked, and the list state of Turkey might have been worse than the first. There is, however, no duebt that they hoped for success, and intended to justify their measure* befcee Europe and before their fellow countrymen by erasing the eharacter of repass• ton of the decaying State. The plan of the conspirators appears to have Dna formed with * stnet regard to the requirements of European public opinion. No wanton blood wee to disgust the courts of the West, no outburst of religioos bigotry, such se the inclusion of the fitness in the plat at first sight suggests, was to give • pretext for the interference of • powerful Northern neighbour. There is every maws to believe that at least one Christian name would have figured in the new administration, as a pledge of its equitable spirit. The persons of the St LTAX and his Ministers were to be secured, so that no rallying point fee the adherents of the old state of things might exist beyond the power of the new authorities. But all this wee to be done with the least possible derangement of civil order, Especial pro:anions were to be taken for guaran teeing the safety of the Christian population and for upholding the respect doe to the representatives of the European Powers. The first step in the path of reconstruction wee to have been the enforcement of the SULTAII . B accept ance of a new Ministry, with a programme of exten sive reforms, and, above all, of • merciless economy in the administration of the Stltrioi's expenditure. As these reforms were to justify the violence done to the sacred person of the Sovereign whoa also the head of the Nluelens Church, we may suppose that in the event of success something would really have been dote to carry them out. This at least is certain —that without an unsparing revision of the whole financial system of the Empire, the new Govern ment could not h►ve stood. Before passing judgment on the eordnet of these' men we should well consider the circumstances in which they saw their country placed, and the great improbability that milder and regular remedies could be applied with t tfect. If they, who were on the spot, judged that some extreme and heroic treatment of the malady of the State was necessary, they only shared the judgment which Europe from a distance and with fewer but certain data, had already pro , mime:ed. The Turkish Gorernment, left to pursue its course, must soon come to utter ruin. Let as look at the facts. When the reigning SULTAN came to the throat, Turkey had neither debt nor paper money. The Imperial revenue is now three times as great as it was in the time of the SCLTAIIN father, who had had great wan tu sustain single-handed; yet in twenty years Turkey ha. accumulated an enormous debt. Toe Treasury is permanently in a state of extreme penury. There is no money wherewith to pay the soldiers. Reforms, public enterprises, and whatever expenditure is required for the welfare of the people, all languish adder perpetual postpswessent. Amidst all this, about twenty people thrive. The great l'achaa whose names eternally appear and re appear in official papers erect noble mansions, which they till with bowie, musicians, and players. The St LTA N, who cannot rarefy as tradesman, and whore private debts are computed at a b wit 1.000,000/., makes presents of costly jewels, and builds marble pa'aces. Tlis Weiner of govern- THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY 'EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1869. meat a treated with contemptuous neglect; while that of the ruling oligarchy—to get and to keep— succeeds too well. Between the indolence and volup tuousness of their Sovereign and their own rapacity there is a fatal solidarity which defies all endeavours for reform. This is the mischief which has invited, perhaps has induced, the recent conspiracy at Con stantiaople. That attempt Las failed, and its parti cipators will probably suffer the lot which men who attack a Government must always expect. Bat the mischief remains. Oar correspondent predicts that even in failure the plot will bear good fruit. It is possible. As a sign that Turkey is not quite dead—ea a demonstration of a certain energy, knowledge, and cantonal, the attempt is worth something ; bat unlade some means are found of redeeming the finances of the Empire from gross and shameless peculation, and laying, in a mud administrative system, the I basis of the great reforms which the Ottoman State requires, we may look for a recurrence of plots and conspiracies which may not always end like this. Tile profession of English foreign policy which Lord JOHN RUSSELL made at Aberdeen is probably what everybody expected; but it is not on that account lees important. While every mail brings us some tale of diplomatic mystery end invention from Biarritz or Vienna—some new jugglery for escaping from that which nature prompt' and justice dictates —it is satisfactory to be able from time to time to see that oar Government st►nds immoveable on the road Haight and Public Law. The noble FOREIGN Sects- TACT opportunely reminds us that the scheme of the " balance of power"—that phrase which, founded in reality and wisdom, has been perverted by tyrants until it has become odious to freemen—rightly under. 'toad is no more than a means of securing the isdipendenoe of States. Our Government is not laxly to set the means before the end. We did not go to war for an idea, but " the independence of the " several States of Europe is an object in which " England ought to feel a sympathy and interest." It is to the case of the States of Central Italy that Lord JOHN Rt•+,et,t. applies this language, and it is well that it should be heard. It is a duty we owe to ourselves, and to the position we w eepy in the world, when we speak to do so in language worthy of a free people. It will strengthen the hands of the men who, as we read yesterday, are exerting themselves at Bologna, Parma, Modena, and Florence, in the face of gnat obstacles and amidst much straitness to defend the freedom they have acquired, to be enured that this great and powerful nation regards their work with interest, and rejoices to see an order and liberty like its own occupying the territory lately the seat of misgovernment and op. pension. It is not to discourage those exer tions, or to represent them as unneoeuary, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL declared his opinion that the decision of the Modenese and Tuscans would not be reversed by the armed force of Austria. It is wise to believe profoundly in the morel force of public opinion, from which not even HAPSBURG obstinacy can withdraw itself ; but it would be foolish to tempt the enemy by weakness. There is something marvellous, something upon which the historian of this Italian crisis will dwell with fascination, in the universal and all-pervading power of the national holing in Central Italy. Every sentiment is purl. fled or fused in this sacred fire. Passion, party, tradition, natural impulse, all obey the higher and dominant law. How strong must this sentiment be when a people in whose cha. ratter distrust has hitherto been supposed to be inveterate, have given the world one of the most conspicuous and touching examples of faith in on. another, and in their chosen King, which history records! Let them nourish this spirit of effort and sacrifice, and show themselves as energetic as they are ananimoue, and they will be able to defy the machinations of a perverted diplomacy. 11 -31 N::: P P I P i s s a E is f I 1 § F. , I 1 J. 2 I i H 5 6 ii - E i is.

No scrap of intelligence has come from Biarritz to indicate what are the Emperor's real intentions in regard to Italy. The yorma's are altogether at fault. It is hoped and believed that when the Em peror returns to Paris the Monaco,' will speck dis tinctly. But his Majesty's return is continually being postponed. It Is now said that he w :II not leave Biarritz till the 12th or 14th of October, and that he will stay two days at Bordeaux. The officers of the five French divisions now in Italy have received orders to send to their depot" in France for their winter outfit. This news will suffice to reassure those who fancied that the French army was about to retire from Italy rid leave Austria to have her own way. I, for one, never entertained any such apprehension. My fears 'hint the ultimate independence of Italy have always been based upon other grounds. The Pope's Nuncio, Monsigneur Saoooni, is about to leave Paris for Rome, and it iv reported that he will be superseded. It is now stated that M. Mon, the Spanish Am bassador, has not gone specially to Biarritz, bat has merely had an audience of the Emperor there, on his way to Madrid. A Constantinople letter, received by the last mail, relates the almost incredible circumstance of the old barbarous law of Turkey which prescribes the assassination of all children wbich any princess of the imperial family may bear to a subject, having been acted upon with;n the last few days. Last Sunday week one of the Sultan's daughters, the wife of Mahmoud Pauli', was safely delivered of a MN boy. The Sultan had been to see her bat a few hours before her confinement, and it i. said that he gave express orders that the child should not be murdered. Neverthe less, " damned custom" prevailed ; the officers of the seraglio who attended the princess delivered over the babe to a eunuch to be strangled—and it was strangled accordingly! Can such things be and not excite the effectual indignation of all man kind ? Turkey has ambassadors at every court in Europe—men who are received into refined and elegant society on an equal footing with the elite of the world—men who, for the most part, have re ceived • European education, and who, to judge from their ordinary conversation, would be thought as civilised, as humane, and as moral men as any other members of the corps diplomatique. What can they say to justify a deed in comparison with which the sacrifice of the Indian widow on her hus band's funereal pile is laudable and holy ? Surely they will be asked the question. It is rumoured that the Ottoman government has suspended the publication of all the Constantinople journals, pending the inquiry into the greet con- 1 1 spiracy. I have seen a letter from Florence, written by a well-known personage, in which it is stated that the Plon-plonist party is quite in despair. Signor Montanelli,the dictator of Tuscany of 1648, who was one of the most respected members of the Italian emigration in Paris, hie totally lost cute with his political friends by the fatal error of judgment which led him to espouse the cause of Prince Napo leon. It appears that he and a few other distin guished Italians, whose patriotism it would be pain ful for me to doubt, were so thoroughly persuaded of the Emperor's determination to put hie cousin upon the throne of Central Italy, that they thought the best course they could take to further the great object of getting rid of Austria was to rally to a movement which they fancied would be supported by irre sistible power. The mistake has cost them their influence and reputation. M. Montanelli, but yes terday one of the most popular men in Tuscany, has been compelled to withdraw from the Cale Itot teghino, which he frequented, because everybody there cuts him in the most marked manner. It le said that when Prince Napoleon arrives at the Psleis Royal from his Swiss tour, be will find awaiting his perusal several cartloads of petitions praying for places in the kingdom of Etruria, which it was supposed would be created for him. The operations for the settlement at the Bourse went off very well. The Rents closed rather firm at 691 r. 30c., and 69fr. 25c., with a rims of 15c, both for cash and account. Mobilior rase 21r. Mk.

A Turin letter of the 26th, in the Siecle, says : Yesterday the King and the ministan re tained from Milan, and to-day a mimed has been held at the palace to deliberate = the conduct to be adopted in consequence of the wishes expressed and officially manifested by the popula tions of the Centre of Italy. I have reason to know that the result of the deliberations is that there snail be addressed to the rowan a memorandum explanatory of all that has taken pleas ;of the votes which have been come to by the assemblies ; end of the offers of annexation made to the King. The memorandum will support with lirmneea the positive rights which all these ems confer on the King of Piedmont. All the ministers, without exception, are in accord to give to this document a great character of decision and energy. Such a document will have this point of interest among others—that !twill be based entirely on the pinciple of popular right. It is certainly a symptom of the times to see the oldest sovereign family in Europe, the Moses of Savoy, frankly accepting this political doctrine destined to remodel society The Oftial Journal of Tuscany of the 24th has the following: For some days pest there has been a certain increase of false news and absurd rumours, the nature of which reveals the origin of than. Ws are neither surprised our terrified at these anarchical artifices, though they are formed in high Tres. There is, in fact, nothing surprising in for those who have said, 't Either Ferdinand IV. 'or anarchy," naturally endeavour to excite anarchy when they have lost all hope of restoring Tuscany to the Austrians by other means; the desire for anarchy le a symptom of despair, and nothig more. There is nothing to be alarmed at In these proceedings, for Tuscany h not a nation of weak and irresolute men who tremble at ' the ern breath. She has the consciousness of her rights and of her strength. This force lies in truth, and in the favour opinion of all Europe, and cannot be affected by the murmurs of calumny or the agitations of racrikerious and pamcidal passions. The indifference and disdain of the country are for the people referred to a pendent chastise ment. The country is tranquil because it feels confidence; it feels confidence because the government is with it in heart and in action; because it knows that the government really marches in the path which the wishes of the people have swot out for It, and that it has never deviated and will not deviate from that path. Our elected King has exhorted us to perseverance, and the government and the people, we can say it with pride, will not be wanting in that entail which is so necessary, especially now that obstacles are dis appearing, and that we have stronger reasons to feel that faith in our destiny which has never abandoned our hearts. The Modena Gazette of the 24th says "By a decree of the 20th the following nominations have j been made in Parma : Dr. Brunn, to the direction of the Department of Justice; Dr. Masser;, Interior; Professor Monfredi, Public Instruction; Marquis Min hi, Finance; and Professor Torrigiani, Public Works. The directors of the different departments have elected for their president the Director of Public Instruction, Professor Monfredi." The same journal, publishes the following communicated article: The =meat.= to the kingdom of Sardinia having been proclaimed by the vote of the sovereign sseembly of Crated Italy, it was the duty of the government to proceed to make the people enjoy the advantage. which they expected from the aeon, and which may be founded on reality, and it was their duty to labour to remove all the obstacles to the free circulation of persons and merchandise, obstacles which than le no longer any reason for maintaining between provisoes which now consider themselves se belonging to one state. At the commencement of October all the customs time and the emporia between the states of the fottu=: dote will be abolished, subject to the settlement of respective interests therewith cannsoted. 1 7 48ff1ON8 POR OCTOBER. (From L Tolle.) Muslin is now seldom seen for walking dress : if worn, it is accompanied by a bout now of a light talon, either in cashmere, wadded and lined, or in Algerine striped material of • bright colour : these have oft= a line of gold or silver between each stripe.

The following is an extended report of a part of Lord John Rumsll's speech at Aberdern, of which we yester day printed only a summery The noble lord mid—lt was my fortune for many Yeare to c &tend unsucoesafully in the cause of reform, and it a4l :..y great good fortune to succeed at length in improving the repre sentation of the country. (Cheers.) I s,y in improving ther, presentation of the country, because whatever fears acre en tertained at the time, and whatever alarm, were suggested to the minds of the timid, whatever objections were suggested to the thoughts of the prejudiced, I think it is now generally acknowledged that the greater admimion of the people at large to the councils of the people's own house has conduced to the happiness and welfare of the community, whilst it has not injured any of our time•hououred institutions. (Chem.) And let me say for the future—without going into queittioas partly of detail and partly of statistics—wtat are the principles by which a public man is guided. I observe that among those who are the advocates for parliamentary reform there are some who conceive that parliamentary reform can only be completely attained when the whole frame of our constitution is altered—when it no looter consists of those puts which have hitherto acted so harmortously together, but the state shall be founded upon some principle hitherto unknown to our constitution. Now, let me at awe say that all my humble labours have been employed sincerely to Im prove our existing institution. I hsva not found fault with the great principle of liberty established by our ancestors. I believe that the people of this country have enjoyed freedom under those Institutions. I see nothing in the macre of these institutions which should at ell tend to shake their foundations; but I believe that, while they continue from time to time to be improved, that it would be rash and no. wise to attempt those organic changes which would unsettle any of the great foundations of society. (Cheers.) I say this likewise to all humility, because I feel that to attempt to frame, as some have proposed to do, a new system of representation is a task entirely beyond my abili ties and my strength; end I should never venture to enter upon the Oak of emending the representation at all if it were to be necessary that the whole frame of the representation should be placed upon a new bade. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, the matter of representation has engaged the whole attention of government. The matter Is one of exteesive cation, and requires great nicety in the adjustment of the separate parts. You have moat of you seen, I dare say, the machinery for spinning cotton into cotton thread. You have observed the power of the immense machine, and the way in which that power is directed by the dy-wheel to a number of different wheels—some with befit mtel movement, sad some with a perpendicular movement. The power pares is the whole machine. You have afterwards seen its most minute ports and most ingenious contrivances—at one time advancing and et =other receding—producing the thread ; end you have seen that, finally, human bands to adjust these threads were necessary—even to the most minute, intricate, and complicated work. Well, no doubt that is a eight which displays immense art and great me chanics+ skill in those who contrived it; and even in those who now superintend its working. BM depend upon it, that machine which produces cotton thread is not more in tricate or more complicated than the machine by which good government is produced. (Applause.) And while we are mere workers in that machine, there have been men among our ancestors who sot only by their Leads, not only by the vastness of their conceptions, the fertility of their minds, but at the sacrifice of their livee—the shedding of their blood—have continued and given us this great &brio in which we live and have our being. (Loud applause.) Why, thee, gentlemen, it is necessary in dealing with machinery of that kind to be cautions and to consider every step that we take. At the same time, it has beta my opinion—an opinion which I have expressed in the House of Commons, not only in speeches but in a direct resolution to that effect—that greater numbers of the people are entitled to the franchise of voting for members of pw• 1 - ens, and that the strength of the whcle constitution / Oa:proved by that admission—(" hear, hear," and ap. planes) ;—and hue again let me refer to the general principles of our government. In other countries—in some countries at least—there is en abstract principle of government. In France and in the United States everything is based upon universal suffrage. It is singular enough that I should have to name France and the United Stases as having the same principle of government. Bat so it is; and the person at the head of the State, and the representatives of the people in both countries, are chosen by universal suffrage directly; in both there Is a synod between them, which is chosen indirectly by that means. And what can be more difficult— what can be more distinct in practice and working than the governments of these two countries ? The inatitivions of France no doubt snit the people of France, as the Institutions of the United States snit the people of the United States; but for my own part I am going to p sint out to you what Is the principle of oar government, which is, I think, • totally different one. The principle of our government Is not to go upon abstract right—not to found anything upon a theoretical assertion—that every man has a right to take part in the government, bat it so to and everywhere where the fittest persons in whom a certain degree of power shall be placed, and to give the power to those persona. (Cheers.) With regard to our judicial proceedings, which am very complicated, as I say the whole of our proceedings are, we have, in the first place, • person to presiAs who must undergo a long and laborious education—who must have appeared in the courts of law, and must here acquired • reputation by showing that he can apply the learning he bee acquired. But, thee, although this person is a person of high station, of known learning—although he is acting in the face of the world—yet there is a fear—s very natural and justifiable fear—that if he were to decide all the cum of criminal end civil justios—that either from servility or ve nality, or some impure motive, he might sell or delay the course of justice. What he done then P There are certain persons tilos n in whom reposes the ultimate decision of the case. Certain qualifications are required in those persons. They ere brought together impartial and disinterested. If ' they gave their decision alone it might be an ignorant, unin formed, and yet honest decision, but you have from the judge all the law and learning—all considerations that point you to a right bane. But you do not allow those considers time to act aloes—they have to be judged by the honest and impartial declaim' of the Jury. (Cheers.) Now I have stated these things; they are peering before our eyes every day. but they have been long established, they have entered into our habits, and perhaps we hardly consider them ' worth so much attention es we should do, because we are se much turd to them. But I am going to apply them in a familiar way to the constitution of our repreamta .. give governmeet. Under our representative government we do not divide the country into districts, and say that every men in that district should Dave a vote, and include 40,000 or 50,000. Any apprentice or clerk to a land purveyor could make a representation after that fashion; it would be easy to do so; but our system is different. Our system says that we must search foe persona in whom this franchise may be most safely placed. We must find men who are sufficiently Intel ligent to know the interests of their country, and who are not in such a needy condition that they are likely to be seduced by any bribe from that course which their intelligence may point out to them. (Cheers) When we have these perms, sod made that selection, then, 1 say, we are likely to have a good choice of the representative, of the people. In 1831, when considering this subject, Lord Grry't government prop, and a 101. franchise. As one who considered the subject then, I am able to say they took it up with great caution. They placed the franchise where they thought it would not be too low, end we have now to coa -1 eider that subject. At present I think it is too high—that is • Twitter for consideration and etereinstion. I am now stating the gentile.' principle upon which I think we should proceed—the general principle upon which all our insti -1 tutione are placed—namely, that of seeking for that which Is beet, and which will practically promote the freedom end happiness of the people, not relying merely upon abstract theories or reasoned deductions.

Hie Majesty having expressed • wish to cross over to Soon by water, a fishing boat was manned by the best mariners of the port. Tb,• Emperor embarked amid the cheers of the population. Though then,' was rather rough the boat soon crossed the bar and landed his Majesty at 80C-04, which he visited in detail and con•olted the various functionaries and other competent persons respecting the secretary works for mak ing • port of refuge there. Priem, Jerome and the Princess Clothilde arrived on Thursday from Mendes at the Petals Royal, where they I have taken up the :. residence fur the winter. fhe question u to whether the projected French expedition to China should be under the control of the Ministry of Wu or that of Marine has, it is said, been de cided I. favour of the Canter, from which it Is twentned that it will be move particularly of a military character. The Bishops of Algiers and Tolle have published circulars relative to the state of Romagna, and it would seem from them documents and that of the Bishop of Arras that the same spirit animates 'aerial of the French prelate*. They regard the temporal power of the Holy Father aa absolutely and indimolubly connected with his spiritual au thority, and oppose with equal energy attacks on the terri tory and the doctrine of the church. Some of the French journals solemnly eongra the city of London for having !Men superior to modal prejudices, and eleo , ed a tutor lord mayor.
