The fearful dangers to Invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, an& 'upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

Contrast this manly language with the , retched whining last night in the House of Lords of the Duke of Rutland, who, painfullylabouring through the latter history of the Italian question, actually .thought he was convicting Count Cavour of some crime when, quoting from the Blue-book, he showed that the Sardinian Premier brought home to the Austrian Government the charge of violating in his countrS; . the great principles of equity and jus tice on which social order rests. What can be more revolutionary than the doctrine laid down by the same Peer, that the King of Sardinia reigns only by' the Treaty of 1815 ? It was indeed the pretension of the three Powers which dominated the decisions of the Congress of Vienna to ignore history and d en y national rights, so that, the ground being cleared, they might figure in history as the creators of a new order of things. The " wishes of the principal Powers of Europe" were they were the work of made the justification of acts as bad as any Which perpetrated, and which did not cease t° thre deprive the rights of States to independent existence from the good - will and pleasure of the Congress at Vienna aroused the indignation of every man who had a spark of English spirit in his breast Napoleonbee spoilers criminal h ad i because they of one. The attempt to when it was first exposed. " Their will," said the eloquent Mackintosh, speaking of the Powers which governed the decisions of the Congress, "Is the sole title to dominion—the universal tenure of sove reignty. They agree that Switzerland shall govern herself; that Germany shall have a federal consti tution ; that unhappy Italy shall, as they say, be composed of sovereign States. All is by grant of these Lords Paramount. Every restored State is restored as their vassal. A single acre granted on such a principle is, in truth, the signal of a mon strous revolution in Europe." Let the Duke of Rutland be assured that there are national rights in Piedmont older and more sacred than the treaty of Vienna. The King of Sardinia's true titlesis the devoted attachment of a people whO have n all ages been distinguished foz loyalty. It is strange than an hereditary Peer, who piques himself on his Conservatism, should take pleasure in ignoring the title of one of the most ancient reigning houses in Europe, and adopting the language of usurpers and plunderers. Lord Elcho in the House of Commons, and Lord Stratford in the House of Lords, have given notice of motions upon which the affairs of Italy will pro bably receive a full discussion. Nothing can be more useful. We trust that no efforts may be made to thwart the intentions of those noble lords, or that being made, they will not succeed.—Dai/g News. more likely . to lead to good results, they have proved that they had no wish pertinaciously to adhere. " As matters stand, however, there is no likeli hood of inducing the contending parties to have re- course to mediation before trying the chances of war. " You will not, however, disguise from Prince Gortschakoff that the report of an alliance having been concluded between France and. Russia, which will bring the latter into the field against Austria within a few days has made a very unfavourable impression in this country; and it is of the utmost importance, if no such alliance has been entered into, that you should be formally and officially enabled, by Prince Gortschakoff, to deny its exist ence.—l am, &c., " MALMESBURY."

The Secretary having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstact of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said, it had been decided at the last meeting that the accounts of the company should in future be made up annually to the 30th of October, and at the December meeting the divi dend would be declared. He thought it a wise policy to do . so, and not to attempt to make up the accounts half-yearly to the 30th of April, because such a course was liable to considerable misappre hension, and shareholders could not form any idea in the first half what the second" half would pro duce. He thought he could safely state that the result of the year's working would be satisfactory to them. With regard to the lath Handel Festival the accounts had been just made up, and the result showed a net balance in favour of the company of between £12,000 and £13,000. (Cheers.) He did not wish to speculate on the amount of dividend they were likely to have at the end of the year, nor did he wish them to speculate on what it would be ; at the same time he thought theamountavould be satisfactory. In connexion with the Festival they were deeply indebted to Mr. Costa for his in defatigable zeal in the management of that great undertaking. (Cheers.) There were two vacancies at the board, caused by the retirement of Mr. D. Seytmour and Captain Walter. The • number of their board would be ten, and he found from the list of attendances at the board meetings that they averaged between nine and ten members. The late committee of shareholders had recommended that the number of directors should be 12, It was not easy to get gentlemen to undertake the anxiety and responsibility of managing the affairs of that com pany. The original number of directors was eight, the committee had recommended 12, and the num ber now stood at ten. The question was whether they would now be satisfied with that number. Mr. SLACK objected to the paragraph in the report which related to the number of directors. He thought it would be better to have 9 than 11 direc tors. He then, at considerable length, found fault with the management, complained that a proper supervision did not exist over every department, and indulged freely in several personal observations amid considerable uproar. He concluded by mov ing an amendment to the effect that the report be adopted with the exception of the clause relating to the isecommendation not to fill up the vacancies in the direction. Mr. PUNCHER seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN said he had no objection to omit the clause referred to in the adoption of the report. A considerable time was occupied in replying to the personal observations made by Mr. Slack, and which appeared to cause considerable amusement. Mr. PUNCHER said they ought to feel much obliged to Mr. Slack for the observations be had made. He thought that considerable advantages had been taken in the refreshment department dur ing the Festival in charging high prices for dinners without any corresponding benefit to the company. All the company received was 21d. a-head, while in many cases sums of ss. and 10s. per head were charged to individuals for refreshments. The CHAIRMAN thought that every opportunity should be given the proprietors for free and open discussion, but the course adopted by Mr. Slack could not be sanctioned, and he trusted that this would be the last meeting at which personalities would be in dulged in. It was entirely out of place to use such terms as "fraud," &c. He (the chairman) had a strong hope and belief that they could regenerate the con cern. The directors did everything they could for the best, and in their endeavours to improve the con cern it was not too much to expect t he support of the shareholders. (Hear, hear.) It was impossible to follow Mr. Slack through all his bygones_ and sug gestions, as he was not respon sible for th em, but with regard to the debenture stock he might i this . s l h t u w l a d s b y e e g r y o t d r i e d state that since the last meeting £23,915 of t had been taken up by the public , an d out of the £250,000 authorised to be issued £169,000 had been taken u s i p r , a blealevingt h ,L e B c l o , m oo p o a n o y n that han d of as soon as possible. The debenture stock would form the first charge on the undertaking, and the rate of interest guaraateed on it was 6 per cent. per annum. With regard to the refreshment de partment arrangements had been made which he hoped would give satisfaction. The lower class had been better attended to in that department than the hoped that extended kitchen d. other matters would remedy eirgetohhmeernelcloladausasstelobrnwue ltaaashnt these defects. g en to ad th o e pt v e a d ca w n i c t i h es t i h n e th o e mi d s i s i i v o o n o .. report was then proposed that the vacancies in the direct' ti o T ri n i l h . l The e e direction caused by the retirement of Mr. D. t u our b a e n r d of Ca a p ir t e . cms b - Walter o b l. e not filled up, and that Seymour and Capt.

On a show of hands the amendment was rejected by 75 against 46, and the motion proposed by the chairman was carried. The CHAIRMAN then proposed that Mr. Anderson, Mr. lonides, and Mr. Ogilvie, the retiring directors, be re-elected. The following names of shareholders were then handed in as candidates for the seats of the retiring directors —namely, Mr. Garty, Mr. Oliphant, Mr. Laceman, and Mr. Richards. On a show of hands Mr. Richards, Mr. LUMBAR. and Mr. Garty were declared elected. A requisition for a poll was duly signed by 12 shareholders representing in the aggregate 300 shares.

LORD J. RUSSELL -ON THE BALLOT. A committee of Liberal electors of the city fa- Vourable to the Ballot was formed for the purpose of communicating with Lord John Russell on the question of the Ballot pending his re-election for the city. This committee was independent of the Ballot Society and of the Liberal Registration Association, but it included Mr. S. Morley, Mr. Hyde Clarke, Mr. Bontems, Mr. Whitehurst, and other members of both these bodies. The following letters passed between Mr. Morley on behalf of the committee and Lord John Russell : "Wood-street, E.C., June 23. "My Lord,—On behalf of a committee of Libe ral electors of the city of London favourable to the Vote by Ballot, I am requested to call your lord ship's attention to the lamentable corruption which prevailed at the late general election, and also the flagrant cases of undue influence equally prevalent and notorious. " In reference to the latter class of evils, I would especially call your lordship's attention to the case of South Durham, where a peer's influence over ruled the constituency, and to the case of Hunt ingdonshire, and your reported declaration that foreign influences at that election were used to pro. cure a result different from that which would have occurred had the election been decided by the real opinion of the electors.* " The result of the late general election seems to show that the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act is a failure, and that it is hopeless to trust to public opinion to put down intimidation. "The gentlemen composing the committee, there fore, request me earnestly to solicit your lordship to look again at the whole question of the ballot with reference to recent events, and to consider whether the apprehended evils which hitherto in your opinion have overbalanced the advantages of the ballot are great enough to prevent an experi ment being made whether the ballot will act as a preventive against the enormous moral evils with which the late elections were attended.--I have the honour to be, my Lord, your very obedient 'want, " S. MORLEY. The Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P., &c." " Chesham-place, June 24, 1859. " Lord John Russell has directed me to acknow ledge the receipt of Your letter of yesterday's date, written on behalf of •a, committee of Liberal electors of the City of London favourable to vote by ballot, and to thank you for it. Lord John Russell continues to be of opinion that tire evils to which in his view the ballot would give rise would prove greater than those which at present exist.--I am, Sir, your obeclt. servant, "GEORGE RUSSELL. " Mr. S. Morley," • • * In proposing Mr. Heathcote at the Huntingdonshire election on the al of May last, his lordship said—" The gentleman who proposed Mr. FeHowes said that was a question (i. e., who should be member) to be decided by the opinion of the majority. Now, g entlemen, I wish it were. I should wish nothing better than that the opinion of the majority of the electors should be the guide, and then Mr. Heathcote would be seated as a member for this county. But has there been no interference with the opinions of the eclectors ? Are there not cases in which the opinions of the electors have been one way, foreign dictation has been introduced to induce them to vote in tha other ? (Cheers.) I say, are no such cases known? (Shouts of Yes' from the Liberals.) I say freely, then, that it is by the real opinion of the electors that I would see Mr. Heathcote's fate decided." THE ITALIAN QUESTION. It was impossible that a man of Mr. Cobden's discernment should not detect that sinister feature in the speeches of our public men which we have so often had to expose—the mingling with declara tions favourable to England's neutrality expres tions calculated to throw doubt on the strength of that principle, and to suggest the fear that a policy in accordance with it will not be maintained. The language of many of our statesmen has produced the impression that we are at the mercy of events ; that we are in a fatal circle ; that it is childish to boast of an independence of circumstances that we cannot assert ; and that it is only a matter of com mon prudence and foresight to take our measures for a participation in war which, though it may be delayed, is inevitable. If we at all understand the public sentiment under the compulsion of which the recent change of Ministers has taken place, it was a determination that this irresolution and helplessness should be driven to its proper retreat, the Opposition benches of the House of Lords, and that the affairs of the Empire should be entrusted to men of knowledge, firmness, and courage. The people of this country have been quick to perceive and prompt' to pro claim the character of their interests at this con juncture, and Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell are in power at this moment because every body knows that the policy of the nation is theirs—not by adoption and acquiescence, but originally and on principle theirs— and be cause the public recognises in them the ability and will to make it good. Mr. Cobden said at Liverpool, " My opinion is that if we wish to be neutral, we have the power to be neutral." We do not exact of our Ministers a language quite so absolute as this; but the strength of the Administration lies in the general confidence that Mr. Cobden's words only express the opinions of its chiefs. Nothing has contributed more to Mr. Cobden's success as a public man than his habit of going straight to his point. In treating of our neutrality and its dangers, therefore, he does not waste his time in proving what nobody is likely to deny, that we ought not to join in the war in Italy; but spoke of the only contingency present to the minds of intelligent observers. " Take," he said, " the case of Germany. I observe a great movement of troops there, and that a great clamour for war has taken place amongst certain parts of the German popx.- lation—a war with France in defence of Austria — and I should like the English people to give that portion of the German population distinctly to understand that if they commence an attack on Louis Napoleon this country will not help them. (Loud cheers.)" We think the Germans are getting to understand somethinc, very like this, and the knowledge is exceedingly helpful to the cause of peace. The panic beyond the Rhine was stimulated by the extravagant apprehensions which ewe f Goer r a while prevalent here, and as we grewac many began to recover its self - p ossession. ictin respondents at Vienna have left off predg the march of Prussian battalions to share the glories of Austria in the field. When that G hi g hly scientific officer General Willisen was sent from Berlin to Vienna t was eonfi_ d en tly announced that he w as to assist in concert ing the combined movements of the armies of the two great German Po wers, and a treat y of allia nce was spoken of. It w as soon after stated on autho rity that no allia nce existed, and we are in a posi tion to know that the General went to Vienna merely to consult the Austrian Minister as to the transfer to Prussia of the direction of the military affairs of the C o nfederation. P russ i a was t h en as now ready and to assst Austria i n th e restora ti on o f peace, offer i her medi a ti on ; b u t w h a t th e a ad d y wan was ted is not not medi menaceat o r a s n b u t e t r r a i l t l o i r e y s E D n u i t p G e Trim honour, or interests, could •in no case have the sym pathy of this free t coun ry in a war to perpe tuate the enslavement of a highly civilised and Christian, peopl e. The calm common sense of Mr. Cobden has re moved the ch •aiae. ter of the present war out of the play of. false placed, and it set • in the white light of open day. " I think where you have a race superior, as I be lieve it to be, to the ing ever them, and governing them against their own consent—for 99-hundredths of the population of Italy would, I believe, if they were polled, be found to declare against the Austrian rule —l believe, such being the case, if we are true to our principles, our sympathies ought to be with that people. If we were placed in the posi tion of the Italians we should not be very scrupulous as to the source from whence we got assistance ; and as the Americans in the struggle against the old country accepted the services of Louis XVl.—certainly as despotic a ruler as Louis Napoleon—l think the Italians may be excused if they accept, perhaps too eor- NET INC7,EASE No. lII.—An Account showing the Revenue and other Receipts of the Quarter ended June 30, 859; the Application of the same ; and the Charge of the Consolidated Fund for the said Quarter, together with the Surplus or Deficiency upon such Charge.

In the following despatch from the Earl of Malmesbury to Sir J. Crampton, her Majesty's Government decline all further attempts to form a Congress, and the steps taken for that purpose are thus recapitulated : " THE EARL OF MALMESBURY TO SIR J. CRAMPTON " Foreign-oface, April 27, 1859. " Sir,—l have to instruct you to inform Prince Gortschakoff that the Cabinet of Vienna having declined to accept the specific part of the proposals offered by her Majesty's Government for the adop tion of their allies on the 18th inst., which contem plated the admission to the Congress of the repre• sentatives of the Italian States on the same footing on which they were admitted to the Congress of Laybach, her Majesty's Government have consi dered that, consistently with the dignity of this country, no . other course remained for them to pursue than to abandon all further attempts at assembling a Congress of the Five Great Pow ers on the affairs of Italy ; and they will, accordingly decline to take part in any such meeting, even if any further proposal { were made to them to do so. " Her Majesty's Government sincerely regret that all the efforts which they have made to induce other Powers to contribute to carrying out to a successful issue the proposal made by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg for assembling an European Congress, by whose intervention Europe might be spared from the calamities of war, have proved unavailing ; but Prince Gortschakoff will do them the justice to admit that they have laboured ear nestly in the cause of peace, and have co-operated cordially and sincerely with the Russian Govern ment for that purpose. " Although her Majesty's Government were of opinion that the results of the communications which Lord Cowley held with the Court of Vienna might have enabled them, by the exertion of their separate and unaided good offices, to reconcile the conflicting interests and wishes of the parties ,more immediately engaged in Italian affairs, they never theless yielded without hesitation to the invitation of Russia, and agreed to take part in the joint in tervention proposed by that Power. " Her Majesty's Government had no direct in terest at stake ; but, as common friends and allies of all parties, they were anxious to contribute, as far as possible, to allay animosities, to reconcile differences, to disarm suspicions, and to establish on a firm and permanent basis the peace and tranquil lity of Italy. They have shrunk from no toil, and they have spared no sacrifices consistent with the national honour of England to effect these objects; while, in the united action of Russia and Great Britain for objects so beneficent, they saw an addi tional proof and pledge of the entire re-establish ment of friendly relations between these two empires. "But all has been to no purpose, and her Ma jesty's Government are reluctantly compelled, in deep discouragement, to abandon all further hope of averting from Europe the calamities which threaten her. "In such a state of things her Majesty's Govern ment can only be guided by what is due to the dignity and interest of the British empire, and those prescribe to them the obligation of standing aloof from the contending parties, and of ceasing to interpose their efforts to stay the excited passions of antagonistic nations. But if, in the course of events, these feelings should subside, and the con tending parties will allow reason to resume her sway, and they evince a desire to have recourse to the good offices of a friendly Power for the recon ciliation of their differences, the British Govern ment will always be found at its post as a friend of humanity, and as an ardent promoter of peace. " Looking, however, to the results of the late attempts to settle these matters by an European Congress, and to the difficulties and disappoint ments with which they , have so ineffectually , struggled, her Majesty's Government cannot an ticipate that any state of things should arise which would now induce them again to listen to a pro posal to take part in such an assembly. " Her Majesty's Government believe that if their good offices are hereafter requested, their single action would be more likely to contribute to the restoration of peace than a complicated negotiation in which other Powers, though equally sincere and anxious with themselves, should be called upon to participate. " You will read this despatch to Prince Gortscha koff, and give his Excellency a copy of it. " I am, &c., " MALMESBURY." In the following despatch, written a few days after the startling announcement in the Times, so absurdly discredited by sundry political sceptics, the Government of Great Britain thus alludes to the rumour of the Secret Treaty . between France and the Emperor of All the Russias : " No. 473. " THE EARL OF MALMESBURY TO SIR Y. CRAMPTON. "Foreign-office, April 29, 1859. " Sir,—lt appears, from your telegram of yester day afternoon, that Prince Gortschakoff expressed something like surprise at t he attempt making by her Majesty's Governmen t b y their single inter ference, to prevent the interruption of peace. " You may say, in reply, that having formerly renounced separate action when combined action was proposed to them, her Majesty's Government cannot be supposed to have any special predilection for the former ; but when, as it has turned out to be the case, combined action did more harm than good, her Majesty's Government cannot think that they lay themselves justly open to remark for re verting to a course of separate action to which, although they always considered it would have been Income received in the Quarter ended June 30, 1859, as shown in Account I 16,492,256 Amount received in the Quarter ended June 30, 1859, in repayment of Advances for Public Works, &c Balance, being the deficiency on the 30th June, 1850, upon the charge of the Con solidated Fund in.

SUICIDE OF TWO LOVERSI - Within the past few days the little watering-place of Aldborough , on the Yorkshire coast, has been shocked by a painful event. It seems that some time ago a young woman, whose maiden name was Ann Elizabeth Johnson, 17 or 18 years of age, a native of Burton Pidsea, but who passed in Ald borough by the name of Sutton, came to the south of England to nurse her aunt, who was the second wife of Mr. Tomlinson. While so engaged an at tachment sprung up between her and her aunt's step-son, a youth about the same age. Some friends of the youth had attempt ed to persuade him that his connection with the young woman would never bring happiness to either of them, but the acquaint ance was kept up. On Friday evening last both of them were seen together. Between eight and nine o ' clock they passed the shop of Mr. Thompson, grocer, and the girl bought half an ounce of to bacco, while Tomlinson remained outside. From thence they proceeded a little way to the north of the village of Aldborough. Somewhere about half past nine o'clock the foreman at a farm-house saw them, and we believe between eleven and twelve the farmer himself was disturbed by the loud bark ing of his dogs, as though some persons were loiter ing about. However, nothing more was heard of them. On Saturday morning, as an old man named Nightingale was proceeding to the sea-side to fol low his avocation of getting g ravel and cobbles, his attention was arrested by finding sundry articles of female apparel laid - on the sand, out of reach of the tide, and nearly opposite what is called Raime's pas ture. These articles included a mantle, a couple of skirts, and a crinoline. His suspicions were at once aroused, and on looking about he saw to his horror the bodies of two persons in the water, about 100 yards distant. They were being dashed about by the tide, in what is locally called the " Group," that is to say, between the two sand-banks occa sioned by the action of the sea. Unable to remove them he went for assistance, and then the bodies were drawn to land, and proved to be the two young people of whom we have been speaking. Their resolution to die together was proved by the circumstance that they were tied together by the neck, the handkerchief which united them being twice round the throat of the girl. They had been dead some hours. At the inquest the jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned."—.Eastern Counties Herald.

We have already published copious extracts from the blue-book on Italy. A subsequent perusal of its contents induces us to add the following papers bearing upon the relations of Russia and Austria, and the alleged secret Treaty between France and Russia, the first intimation of which was give, in the early part of Easter week. These papers in clude, in the first place, two despatches written by Sir J. Crampton to the Earl of Malmesbury, at the end of January and about the middle of February last. We annex both, as follows : " No. 72. (Received February 28.) " SIR. J. CRAMPTON TO THE EARL OF MALMESBURY. St. Petersburg, Jan. 26, 1859. g , Upon the receipt of your lordship's despatch of the 12th ult., I took an early opportunity of put ting Prince Gortschakoff in possession of the views and opinions of her Majesty's Government in re gard to the unsatisfactory state of the relations be tween France and Austria, as made known to me ' by that despatch and its enclosures. " I have had several conversations with his Excellency upon this subject, both before and after I had received your lordship's official instructions. " After making his Excellency fully acquainted with the motives and considerations which have induced her' Majesty's Government to address the Governments of France, Austria, and Sardiniti. at the present conjuncture, I told his Excellency - that your lordship, putting confidence in the declara tions be had made to me of his constant desire to maintain the peace of Europe, had directed m e to ascertain how far the Russian Government vmuld be disposed to assist England in recommending prudence and temper to those Governments. The palicy of her Majesty's Government, I said„ was simply the preservation of peace by a faithful maintenance of the treaties now in force ; an d. her Majesty's Government trusted that Russia, 1. wing aside any feeling, favourable or unfavourable, v she might entertain towards either of the. two great Powers in question, would join Enghlnd in effecting an object which it is the interest of all to secure. " Prince Gortschakoff listened with attenti ors to all the observations which I ventured to offer to him on this subject, and replied to the folio - lying effect : " ' You have certainly not misrepresented me in reporting to your Government that I wish to see peace maintained. Russia desires peace, and even requires it, for the development of the great in ea sures of internal improvement in which she is en gaged. But I remarked that you used the phrase, ' throwing aside all feeling, favourable or unfava ar able, towards the parties in question ;' and I shoi ild be departing altogether from the frankness wigi ich you invite, were Ito allow you to suppose that we could associate ourselves in any course of action in which this was to be a condition. In a word, we cannot weigh France and Austria in the sa me balance. Our relations with the former are cori —with the latter they are far from being so ; ; nor do I see any prospect of an improvement of Om 3m. This could only result from an entire change , of system on the part of the Austrian Governing nt, and of such a change I see neither the comma .ce ment nor the probability.' " Prince Gortschakoff then proceeded, at Pt une length, to enumerate the grievances of wi Lich Russia conceives she has reason to complain on. the part of Austria ; but as your lordship is, doubtless, well acquainted with these, it would serve no good purpose to record them here. It will snl lice to say, that his Excellency's language seemei 1 to preclude any prospect of a renewal of the intrai lacy which formerly subsisted between the Cabinet s of St. Petersburg and Vienna. " Prince Gortschakoff in conclusion, E Russia was formerly in the habit of Wel ring friendly advice to swill of the Cabinets of E m ..ope as she had reason to hope would have appre ci ated her motives in doing so ; but it is a policy in wlhich she has not found her account ; she has consep te ntly now none to offer. If her opinion is asked, i tow ever, it will be freely given, and it will "b e in favour of peace. So far we can go, but no fu rt her. Recollect, however, that although since rely desirous that peace should be maintained, I do not tell you that, should it unfortunately be otherwise, we should under no circumstances !take part in the contest. We reserve to ourselves ei tire liberty of action in this respect." "No. 73. " (Received February 28.) " SIR J. CRAMPTON TO THE EARL OF MAL:VO BURY. " St. Petersburg, Feb. 15, 195 9. " Although we must regret the position vi hich Russia, as one of the great Powers of Europe, has chosen to assume on the present occasion, an d. per haps still more the motives which she has as sib ;ned for assuming it, we cannot charge Prince Gm .ts cha koff or his Imperial Majesty with want of fr; ink ness in their manner of evincing their real fe eli ngs. " The motive for standing aloof at the pre sent conjuncture of the affairs of Europe is a fa et not concealed, and is avowedly the necessity o. f hus banding her resources, and repairing her . rer.:ent losses, while the rest of Europe is engaged in t But another motive still less creditable to her is scarcely dissimilated by her Government, wl ii.le it is loudly proclaimed by tin public, namely, the ik Lope that the expected war may result in the thoi .a ugh humiliation of Austria. " The neutrality proposed by Russia is one Of an avowedly hostile nature, as far as Anstria is: 'con cerned, and consequently scarcely deserves: the name ; and the liberty of action which she reF 'yes to herself clearly refers to the contingency ('f• her aid being required to bring about that result. "It is true that Prince Gortschakoff has in' ira via bly declared that the Russian Government i a de sirous that the peace of Europe should be • ail dn tained ; but I should be misleading your Lords hip if I rel resented him as urging her Maj.es , ty's Government to take measures to prevent its be ing disturbed. Prince Gortschakoff did not, as i 1 adt red he could not, question the policy or motives of I ler Majesty's Government, as communicated to hi m by me, but he confined himself to a justificatiaul of I f I 1
