When they came to the third pout they had to Goulds, the whole question, and a most impartial question it was—a question which bad occupied teem for two years past, sad which might occupy the parliament of this country for future gene rations—whether they ought not to put Ken, bounds to the proem, of Rama; and if so, in what man lier that object should be effected. (Hear, hear.) Is wee not for him to solve that great problem.

(Hear.) Russia bad inereased her power more thin say other country in Europe since the commsoceeseet of the century. (" No, no," sad " Hear.") She bed 60 000,000 of inhabitanta, and an army of 800,000 mu is time of peace. Alter a considerable struggle, and sash resistance on the part of Lord Castlereagh and Prince Talleyrand. Ramie was allowed to acquire and tears her power over Poland, with the beauties, however, that Poised was to have a separate constitution and a separate army, which would give her a kind of national existence. Bet tut condition we, broken through, and new fetters of iros bound her to Russia after the insurrection of 1831. thus this Russia had erected inPoland sin or seven fortresses of at least equal strength to that of Sebastobol. She con• elated the peasantry by a policy well adapted for that pup pose, whilst at the mate time the young men of Poland, who, full of patriotic ardour and recollections, might one day rise to swat the freedom of their country, were carefully minted end sent into the intoner and distant prosiness of Russia, where they met with no sympathy, where their fate wee wafture, and where they remained forgotten by all env the Matins from whom they were takes. (Hear, bear.) In the Baltic, Ramie was preparing a great plan of fortifitstiona, which were unknown till Sir C. Napier sent home a plan of them. These fortifications, when com pleted, could have given Russia entire predominance over toe Baltic, so that neither Denmark nor Sweden, nor any whir power, could have he.d up a finger against her in that sea. (Hear, heat.) In Germany she was con nected with many of the small princes of that country by marriages. Many of the German states he was sorry to say lived in fear of revolutionary principles, and depended on their armies alone for protection. (Hear.) Many of ' the officers of these armies were 'educed by the Russian court, which spread rewards and orders amongst them, and even paid their debts in some cases. (Hear, hear.) Germany, which should be the seat of independence, and which should eland forward the first to protect Europe against the encroachments of Roan, wee undermined in its vital strength and in its national independence, by the arts and contrivances of Russia. (Hear.) He bad not yet spoken of the immediate danger with which they had to dui. It was this, that, after a long cosine of violence sad eggresiioo, Turkey Wiped the treaty of Adrianople, which gave new powers to Russia, and confirmed old ones. The danger of that treaty was ably pointed' out by Lord Aberdeen, But neither Lord Aberdeen nor the Duke of Wellington judged it right—and he thought wisely— to fro to war on account of the Inc aaaaa of power thus obtained by Rana. But now that war wee begun, it was not for them to forget the meson which Lord Aberdeen hen given and the daogers he had pointed out. Russia had great means of influence in Turkey—each means of influence, that, if she used them wisely and prudently, she might eeercise a pre dominant control is the councils of Constantinople. (Hear.) But, in an hover imprudence—he would not say more of the conduct of a sovereign who had since passed away—the Emperor insisted upon what Turkey thought to be a degradation, and occupied the provinces of Turkey to enforce his demand. Turkey resisted that degradation; and thinking, from the offers of support that she resolved from France and Great Britain, that she would be supported in such a struggle, had recourse to arms in her defence. Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, whom the house would allow to be well acquainted with this abject, bad said, some time before, " I think the time ham come when Turkey's position must be entirely altered; either she will fall into a state of total dependence upon Russia, or else she must get rid of all those tweets and shackles by which, for many years put, she has ban fettered and encumbered." Well, that war the question, whether the allied governments should leave her to be got completely under the sway of Russia, as a sub ject, or whether they should endeavour to raise her to something higher than her present condition, as an inde pendent state. Tne allied governments close the latter part of ibis alternative. It became them, therefore, firstly, to consider the immediate danger. That immediate danger was warded off. The gallant defence of &atria by the Turks liquid always be remembered with praise and honour. That siege of &lava, however, would have been renewed, sad bad it been, the result mi ght have been as when the campaign of 1928 failed, and wee renewed in 1829. The angs of Silliest' failed, but in the course of the same MUM, or at some other time, the siege of Siliettia would have bees renewed, and a greater fores would have been brought against it. Well, the approach of the allies prevented that danger, and the Russians retired across the Danube. Austria then said that she could not permit Rues to occupy those Principalities; all her learns' we said it was impossible to allow that occupation to madam and she, therefore, for a partial interest—though he lashed she haddote it for a more general interest—esid, that un less those two Princialities were evacuated she would try the fete of arms, and declare war again! Rneeis. Upon her form being assembled, Ramis evacuated those Pried. polities, Now, let it be observed, that it was be. cease those Principalities were thus placed wider the MOO . guard of Austria, it was because easy attempt be Imola Turkey, to cross the Balkan ' mad emit wee thus prevented, that the ads felt theamelrm to send that expedition to the Cann Like his right hon. friend, he (Lord Jabs Russell) podded in thinking that they were matt is mooing that mgedition, and hke him he would reserve the question ierseare future period,when It might be matter foe discussion. But this effect followed It—that, from the prewar* at Sebastopol, the Russian feet bad been, a put part of it, sunk by the Russian authorities themselves. The Russians themselves had di minished that fleet; audit was no longer a fleet of 18 or 20 sail of the line which menaced Coastaninoplie, and showed constantly a perpetual threat to Turkey. The question lay thus epos that third point, how the allies could diminish her power, sad put an end to her prepoade. race in the Black Sea. He (Lord J. Russell) confessed that he we. not at all mahatma of the manes, in which he agreed with Count Bad to invite the Russian plenipoten banes to take the initiative on that qaestion. Count Buol teprimienad ti him, and, he Waved, represested shoo to the itemise plenipotentiary, before it wee hrought forward is the conference, that it would be hurtful to the dignity of Rung to have certain terms impaled epee her for the lasi.

He told this freely to the heath, not may to do jostles to Austria, bat because he did not wish to hold out hopes, that might not be verified, that Austria would immediately take part is that war. He thought, however, that her position was such, and her treaty engage ments with us were such, that if the war aostinuird she email find it necessary, in order to meet and vanquish that =vience of Rusts, to take part in the war. Of this ere, that the part wheat Austria had played, not akin shares in the spoils of Turkey, se was expected, but =with in all the moseures sad proposals which we us might necessary, would never be forgotten by Russia, MA that her only safety lay in building up such alliances as might secure Turkey an enure Estop. (Hear, hear.) Re therefore should be ready to TOW against the motion, which degraded this great national cause, not merely into • party question (a party question might be a very great question), but into • very limited and narrow party es don—(hear, hear)—• question with respect to particular eondoet at a particular moment, and particular laeguap held in debates. (Hear, bear.) He had n known a Feat matter—perhape one of the greatest national questions which were ever debated in that hones, which bad ever engaged the councils of the empire, which had ever sewed the exercise of the arms of this country—to be so =es this queatiea had been. (Cheers.) Mr. Die mid that great mistrust prevailed. He did not day that there was much foundatiOn for the observation ; but he did not believe that that mistrust would be cured, sad that general satisfaction and confidence would take the place of uneasiaths and satiety, by substituting the right hon. gentleman and his friends for the noble lord and those who now sat on the government side of the house. (Heir, hear.) Much was said about administrative reform. It was a very natural question, a natural cry ; the ols jeet was most desirable; but why should it be pre sumed that other men, either thews who were well known, sitting on the other side of the house, or some other men totally unknown, who would carry on administrative reform were better than those at present in the of power ? (.. Hear, hear," and laughter.) hey could hardly have a better measure than that which had been proposed by Lord Pamirs on the subject of reform in the army departments, with respect to which departments especially the difficulty had been felt. Hs proposed to place all the civil breadth! of the army under the superin tendence of a single secretary of state ; so that one eye might watch and one hand guide the whole machi nery. In the other departments—the finances, the Home Department, or the Colonial Department—be was not aware that any complaint of inefficiency had bees made. While the right bon. gentleman was not founded in his proposal as regarded the particolsr question, he was no better founded in the remedy he proposed for what he called general dis trust. He (Lord J. Russell) was convinced that the party opposite would not gain an credit by having it said—as it surely would be said— in this great crisis of the fortunes of the country, that the great conservative party who, for upwards of • year, bad with the greatest patriotism come forward to support the crown and maintain the honour of the country by every vote they twilit give, after little moth them a year got tired of the exercise of that virtue; that they thought there was an opportunity of slippier into office in the place of these then then; and that, having lost an occasion which seemed to be about to be offered them by an lade. peadent member of the house, they rushed forward in thee to gain the prise of which they were ambitious. (Chem and laughter.) He believed that the right hes. gestisames and his friends would gain no such prise.

DISRAELI'S Howma men may differ regarding the truth or error of the views propounded last night by Mr. Disitsm, all most agree in the conviction that the party whom he leads in the House of Commons are not prepared to espouse heartily any definite line of policy with respect to the war. Either they have no mind of their own on the matter, or, being divided amongst themselves, their chiefs are compelled to talk uncertainties and obscurities, to substitute small sarcasms for great sentiments, and the critical ana lysis of past blenders for a plain avowal of sympathy in the hopes and wishes of the nation. Like their opponents in office, they are smitten with a para lysis of unbelief. No one who heard Lord PAL- MEILSTON yesterday morning tell his followers that the Cabinet were united in their re- solve to prosecute the war with vigour, could believe that he believed what he said. His whole demeanour on the occasion alluded to was the old combination of swaggering and shirking—the most thoroughly calculated to confirm the impression that _ . he felt no real confidence either in the unanimity of his colleagues, or in the definiteness of a settled aim. Lord PALMERSTON is now, as he has been all his life, politically living from hand to mouth, ready to throw overboard any pledge or principle, and to enter into combination with any set of men that for the moment seems serviceable to his personal purpose. lie has faith in nothing, and his fall, whenever it shall occur, will assuredly be caused by the gradual spread of unbelief In him. Mr. Diaasam's position may, perhaps, account in some degree for the similarity of the defect, which more than counterbalances many advantages, personal and incidental. With talents eminently fitted for attack, and with a ease of incul pation such as no leader of Opposition has had since the days of PITT and PULTENEY-with the choice of time and ground for the assault upon the ill-manned lines of power, and with the great people—all but unanimous in their discontent—ready to support any party capable of comprehending their indignation and realising their des ires—with all these rare ad- vantages and incentives to earnestness Mr. DISRAELI fails because he is not in earnest. We will not do Mr. DISRAELI the injustice of sup posing that he is unconscious of the opportunity thus thrown away. We cannot acquit him morally and politically at the expense of his intellect. He well knows what the occasion is, and what would be required in order to make use of it. But he is bound by party ties to men whose instincts as a class are at variance with their inte rests as a parliamentary party ; and he who has nothing in common with them as hereditary oligarchs is doomed to suffer all the tantalisation of hope deferred, and the mortification of great talents wasted year after year, because those with whom he is associated are in the main governed rather by their fears as a cute, than by their hopes as a parlia mentary party. When Lord ELLENBOROUGH called on the Tory Peers to place themselves at the head of the people, their Conservative lordships shrugged their shoulders, and sneered at the enthusiastic Earl : and had Mr. Disitazu ventured, last night, to pro- pound inch maxima of foreign policy as the oommu- nity at large are prepared to respond to, he would' probably have lost many votes in the division. The Tory aristocracy, like the Whig aristocracy, are at bead sick of the war and desirous of nothing so much u casting on each other the blame of its abortive continuance. They both well know the un popularity that must inevitably attend upoa the con clusion of an unsatisfactory peace; and it is no secret that the Derbyite policy has for some time been one of ambiguous reserve, in the hope that either Lord PALMERJ3TON and his colleagues might drift into shabby terms of accommodation with Russia, which would be sure to cover them with unpopularity, or, should they break up as a Government before peace was concluded, that their successors should come into office uncommitted to any definite course or any definite principle. And thus it is that the whole discussion of last night has been but a mere squabble of factions, full of rancour and recrimina tion, but deplorably and despicably destitute of national feeling, and all the other high qualities which ought to characterise a debate on such an occasion. It is idle to ask why the speech of the mover was not clear upon this point or upon that. It was meant to be opaque, and designed to be ob ' scare. The plebeian leader of Conservative aristo crats due not bind himself to any terms which should imply the humiliation of Ramada or the redaction of her power. Their rivals on the other side of the table would have cheered triumphantly had he dons so, for they would have recognised in such avowals a new guarantee for their own tenure of office. It is a maxim amongst actors of the vulgar school that you must always endeavour to play down to the level of your audience ; and amongst the competing poli ticians who play their parts in our two Hogan at Westminster, the paramount idea appears to be who may most thoroughly consult the prejudices of birth and class by which four-fifths of their hearers are in the main governed. The feeling common to the majority on both sides at present is indicated by the significant phrase con stantly heard of late, that " there is a very bad feel ing out of doors." By the bad feeling is simply meant a growing impatience of corrupt imbecility and the sordid subserviug of national interests to those of foreign despotism. The people have long been sulky, and are now growing angry, not without sufficient reason. They are making up their minds to call for a rigorous account, and to inflict exemplary punishment on all who venture to refuse it. The oligarchy persuade themselves that their best chance of retaining the pro fitable craft by which they live is to put an end as quickly as possible to the present war. They are sincerely frightened at the possible ague gamete of their own matchless blundering; they are sincerely uneasy at the daily reiteration of the murderous consequences of administrative favourit ism and jobbing. Could they only get things bank into the old groove of peace abroad and an un formed Parliament at home, they think themselves strong enough to maintain the established rotten ness of things to another generation. We must say in candid sorrow that they have hitherto had too much right to build thus impudently on popular forbearance. But we trust that ere long they will find themselves mistaken. There begins to be what we must take leave to call a very good and sound feeling out of doors—a feeling, not of indolent dis gust, but of organised hatred of the system of faction and fraud under which we live—a system of whoelw meanness and ohamsfainees we need no better illus tration than the lardeal discussion of last night in the House of Ccanweas.—Daily News. A NAIVE SIB WILLIAM MOLEBWORTH wrote, on Wednes day, to his constituents, in Southwark, "If Mr. DISRA2II% motion be carried, the necessity of Ad ministrative Reform will become more apparent." The result of a vote of censure against Ministers being car ried would, in all likelihood, be their resignation. The meaning, therefore, of the somewhat oracular epistle, from which we have quoted, would appear to be, that the necessity for Administrative Reform is not apparent to Sir WILLLem MoutsWORTH in office, but would become obvious to Sir WILU&cc MOLES WORTa out of °Sm.—Daily News. (PROM SRI FRANCE. HYDINT OP Till DAILY NRWS.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVININO. Great interest is felt here on the subject of Mr. Disraeli's motion for to-night. The opinion that the Government will be ousted is very prevalent. The Bourse, in the early part of the day, was effected considerably by this apprehension and by a fall in Consols. But in the afternoon, rumours that the Vienna Conferenoes would reopen on the 26th pro doped a favourable reaction. The Rents closed at 69fr. 10c., with a rise of 30c. Bank of France rose 15fr. The railways, after considerable fluctuation, left off without any great change. Some lines were lower than yesterday, but the majority somewhat higher. It was reported that government was about to bor- row 150 million. from the Bank of France, with which they would get on till October without a new public loan. The harper:dance, confirming the news I sent two or three days since, says that General Canrobert de cidedly refuses the command of the corps d'artnes offered to him, and that he will merely take the di vision which he headed at Alma. General de Sallee, it is said, has been selected in place of General Can robert as the second in command to General Pe- Hasler. A letter from Corfu, of the 12th, mentions the ar rival in that port of the Canadian and Talavera trans ports from Batiklava, in order to embark the let Regiment of the Lancashire Militia and convey them to Zante to relieve the 31st Regiment of the Line, which will proceed by the same vessels to the Crimea. The follo;ving despatch has just arrived: " BERLIN, THURSDAY. " The governments of the province of Finland and the Baltic Sea have been placed in a state of siege." On the subject of the hoax—of which you will not hear the last for some time, for the entire press of Europe will be occupied with it more or less for some days to come—the Duke de Coigny, an old Peninsular soldier, writes the following letter to the Potrie. Lord Raglan will be pleased to find an old " rival in arms and brother in renown" coming forward to defend his military reputation ; but it is impossible not to smile at reading a serious argument against the possibility of his being the author of the despatch to which his signature appeared in all the Paris PaPer.: Monsieur le Redacteur—l cannot quite say that I have been for upwards of forty years the friend of Lord Raglan. We were not precisely friends when we were both of us in the same battlefield■ in the Peninsula. But, titter long years of war there came long years of peace, and during thus years, wh we had the pod fortune to meet, it was ever with a sincere feeling of reciprocal pleasure that we held oat to each other the single hand which alone is left to either of us. That a small portion of the English press should continually end to throw ridicule upon the isitisneto confidant of the Duke of Wellington—upon • man whose own long military career has shed c:me additional lustre at least upon the English arms, is • feet which I can only deplore. But here, in my own cow.- ely, I feel called upon in the absence of my friend to pro test, in the strongest manner porible, against any attack upon his reputation. Allow me to disabuse your mind (should it be necessary to do so) on the subject of a counter feit report of Lord Region, which (to my great regret) you have translated f►om the Standard. Will you, sir, do me the honour to believe me upon my word, when I say that either my old friend mut Lave gone out of his mind, or he can never have written such a despatch. If you read it again, you will be as convinced as I am that he could not have written it. I am, &a., Due Dt COLONY. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam packet Iberia, Captain Christian, Admiralty Agent, Lient. tharles Bolton, RN., has arrived at South ampton, with the Peninsular Mails. Her dates are: Gibraltar, May 16; Cadiz, 17 ; Lisbon, 19; Oporto, 20; Vigo, 21. She brings 751 passengers, among whom are the Duke and Duchess of Nemours and attendants, from Lisbon; Captain Curran, 06th Regiment.

SPAIN. MADRID, Mar 23. Yesterday evening, 70 men belonging to a cavalry regiment at Saragossa revolted. They went through the streets crying, " Long live the King." The ge neral sent some troops and national guard in pursuit of them. It is a Carlist movement. Some of the Continental papers persist in stating that the Conferences are &butt to be resumed at Vienna.

I OUR ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL VllOll TEE 0 01IMPONDI1T OF TES DAILY NEWS.) CAMP ABOVE SEBASTOPOL, MA:I2.

In the mean time new batteries are being made in ad- viuiced positions, and armed with rum of very heavy calibre. Some of these new work. have been observe( by the enemy, who have endeavoured, by the frequent discharge of shells of large size, to interrupt their pro• - . - grese. They have, however, proceeded most sattafac torily. The effect, when completed, will be very materially to change the whole face and bearing of the works on both attacks ;and a greater weight of metal will be found in what were the advaneed works than the weight which was origiaally laid in the batteries of the first paralleL The Rubsians have been busily occupied in deepen ing and adding to the connexions established between their advanced rifle pit on our right attack and the. Redan. A trench oleo haa been made to form &comma- nioation between the rifle pit and the quarry. The pit itself it very close—within a stone's throw—of the rifle. pit at the end of our zigzag, to the left of the advanced, work ; and if a line were drawn from this to the trench proceeding from our right rifle pit, it would nearly touch the enemy's work at mid-distance. Be . . . . . hind the pit is a complete network of trencher, mainly . .. . leading back to theßedan, and from the second line or the zigzag a trench proceeds up to the quarry. The work in the quarry has now also a direct covered way, communicating with the Redan. The French are actively pursuing their sap toward the Russian redoubts on the east of Careening Bsy. A constant fire is directed against the French works. They are also sapping up toward the Mamelon, and some collision moat shortly take place in that direc tion. 1 here is a rumour—but on what foundation I know not—that the late expedition, which was so unex pectedly recalled, will shortly make a fresh start. It can hardly proceed under such favourable auspices as the former, now that the enemy have had ocular demonstration of our plans and intentions. It is indeed .o he regretted that the interruption occurred to that undertaking: so many circumstances combined to ensure success. The Russians made another attack in consider able force in the night between the 9th and 10th instant against the new advanced works on our right attack (Frenchman's-hill). They were gallantly repulsed, and must have suffered great loss, whilst our list of casualties was comparatively small, viz., one man killed, and one officer and thirteen men wounded. Nearly every regiment of the Light Di vision had parties in the trenches, but the brunt of the fighting tell more particularly on the men of the 88th and 34th Regiments, who were in the right boyau and rifle pit, and others of the ith and 90th Regiments, who were in our left zigzag approach, and the Russian rifle-pit which some time since was taken and connected with it. The attack commenced soon after twelve p.m. at the right boyau and centre rifle pit. Few stars were visible on account of black heavy masses of clouds which were passing over head, and the night was dark. The air was close, and a few drops of rain fell occasionally. Notwith standing the darkness, some of the enemy's skir mishers, who had been sent forward to feel the way, were perceived ; and our men were quickly ready to receive them. A short time elapsed when orders were given to fire, and a volley was sent from the trenches. The enemy essayed to come forward, but another volley quickly succeeding the first kept them from the trench. Volley after volley was then fired from the boyau, from the centre rifle pit and the trench which has been extended from it to the left, and from part of the old advanced work itself. The fire of the Russians was scattered and irregular; they had evidently met with a reception for which they were not prepared. The flashes of our lines of musketry sufficiently illumined the foreground to show a dense column of tho enemy at some little distance in rear of the troops who had advanced to attack the trenches. The fire had been kept up for about fifteen minutes, the enemy, held at bay, had not been able to come nearer than twenty or thirty yards from the works, when a lull took place, and on the impulse of the moment a shout was set up by some of our men which was taken up along the whole line, and made itself beard all over the camp in front. The Connaught Rangers had the credit of cdmmencing this cheer. Even the Musco vites seemed surprised, and either expecting a sally on our part, or in consequence of finding the under taking hopeless, hastily retired. loon after the attack against the right of the Frenchman's-hill works commenced, a sortie was made by other troops agairist the left of the same line, and also against the right of the new works on the Greenhill attack. On the left of the line there was the same alertness among the men of the ith and 90th Regiments as on the right, and the enemy were as quickly repulsed. On neither side were the Rus sians ever able to come close to, much less to enter the rifle pits or trenches. On the right of the Greenhill attack a large working party was engaged in connecting the rifle pits which had been established on the brow of the hill overhanging the valley of the left ravine, as it turns round toward the south harbour. Between us and the enemy in this position the ground is open, and formed by the slope of Greenhill itself, the ravine below with the Woronzoff road, and the op posite slope ascending toward the Russian quarry and Redan hill works. The enemy are compelled, therefore, to form for attack in an exposed position a short way from the ground occupied by our works. On the Frenchman's-hill attack the enemy have the power of forming behind the trenches which have lately been made to connect their advanced rifle pits with the Redao, and can therefore in a great measure conceal their movements. Not so on the left attack, and here they were detected by some of our sentries who had been thrown out in front, and who gave notice that the Russians were about to advance on the work. Their observation being verified, the, working parties were called in, the tools placed. la security, and the troops formed in line. The snowy came as was expected, but finding the pre paeabons against them so complete, and the advan tage of ground being wholly in our possession, they soon abandoned the contest. The several divisions near the works attacked were turned out, and got under arms, as the heavy fire of the musketry, and the discharge from the mar my's batteries, announced a very determined sortie.. The French, also, sent some troops forward. Tb ey ad vanced some distance toward their lines, keeying up a roll of drums and sounding their trumpeei to an nounce, perhaps, the approach of reinforces ruts. As soon as the attack began, the enemy sent a vast num ber of shells against our batteries, and in the direc tions along which they might suppose the supports would be advancing, but they did very little injury. Our batteries scarcely replied, but seine shells were nut among the Russian troops who were engaged in the sortie.
