" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of Stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no matter of inn prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of Instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part to have achieved the reputation he has in this res iect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circu'ar.

Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the Ecole d Pharmacie de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna. • -- TRIESEMAR, No. 1, a remedy for Relaxation. Rpermatorrhcea, and Exhaustion of the 4 pqem, whether arising from excesses, accident. or climate. To those persons who are prevented entering the married state by the consequences of early errors it is invaluable. TRIESEDIAR, No. 2, effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those Disorders which Capivi and Cubebs Ave so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. MR. MILNER GIBSON•S MOTION ( From the Times of this day. ) The high-wrought expectations of the distinguished au qience which assembled in the House of Commons yesterday evening to listen to the debate on Mr. Milner Gibsou's motion was destined to a severe and unlooked-for disappointment. Very early in the proceedings symptoms of a " cross," as the prizefighters call it, began to manifest themselves, and persdni used to such things saw clearly that the match would slot Come off. Zealous as Mr. Gibson undoubtedly is in putting forward his pacific notions, and vehement as the Ministry, which exists on the vigorous prosecution of the war, is in its anxiety to meet and combat them, it somehow seems to have occurred to these antagonists that neither had much to gain from the prosecution of a quarrel which was likely, to result in greater benefit to third parties than to either of the belli gerents. Mr. Milner Gibson might not unreasonably think that there was a strong feeling in the House against his mo tion, and our -was-like Government might believe with equal justice that there was a considerable majority of its own. mem bers in its favour. Still the difficulty was where to find a plausible pretext for putting Off a debate with regard to which the feeling of the country certainly is that it is rather too late than too soon, and lags behind rather than anticipates the occasion. Many excuses, many pretexts, were doubtless can vassed and considered, until at last one was found sufficiently plausible, at least in the belief of those who have a statesman like confidence in the gullibility of mankind. Before the mo tion came on Mr. Gladstone questioned Lord Palmerston as to the state of the negotiations at Vienna in a manner which certainly invited him not to underrate the gravity of the difficulties which they opposed to the impending discussion. Thus adjured, Lard Palmerston spoke. ,The congress had adjourned sine die, .but was not dissolved. It might be called together at any time. Austria, " our ally to a certain• ex tent," was making it her business to find terms of agreeiitent, questing about for expedients to unite the incompatible views of Russia and the Western Powers. When the required expedients were found, it was to be communicated to England and France, and upon. their approval of this possible future expedient the Congress could be reassenablod. Hero was just that siiccles of metaphysical entity in which Mr. Gladstone delights—a future conditional, contingent, un realised, probably unrealisable, idea, which assumed under his skilful touch substance and consistency, and grew and increased till one could really almost fancy that it was some thing more than a vain chimaera of his luxuriant imagination. Once possessed of this, to him, solid and substantial fulcrum for the intellectual lever, Mr. Gladstone's work was soon done ; and we doubt not that he would have persuaded Mr. Gibson to postpone his motion even if Mr. Herbert had not aided him by the throat of moving " the previous question," and Lord Harry Vane assisted with the menace that after these diplomatic revelations he would not second him. The comedy, thus fairly started, was played out, nobody seeming in earnest in the matter except Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Disraeli, and it was with no feeling of surprise • that the house heard from Mr. Gibson that after the appeal made to him he could not persevere, and must, therefore, defer his motion till after Whitsuntide. Thus, then, has been lost by a palpable contrivance , of the very clumsiest description the opportunity of taking the opi nion of the House of Commons on the question of peace and war. Mr. Gibson certainly acted a part for which Ministers cannot be sulAciently grateful. He , preoccupied the ground, and, after Wring prevented other members from bringing the subject forwiaq, postponed his motion just at the time when it was impossible to give notice of another before Whitsun tide, and thug procured for' the Ministry another fortnight, during which they may enjoy, without Parliamentary con trol, unlimited powers of truckling•to Russia. The House of Commons has been jockeyed out of the expression of its opinion, and, above all, the Government have been saved for another fortnight from exposing to the world the true secret of their disunion on the very principle upon which they were constructed. Regarding this mat ter as a Parliamentary interlude, it was played off dexterously enough ; in any other point of view the course adopted by all parties was most discreditable. The pretence, as we have above intimated, was of the most frivolous de scription. The state of things alluded to by Lord Palmer ston always exists in war. Wherever a Congress has been summoned a Congress can been summoned again. Wherever a proposition has been negatived another can be substituted. While there are belligerent Powers and a Power between them which makes it its business, like Austria, to find perpetually new subjects of negotiation, there is no fear that the farce cannot be kept up as long as required, especially if by so doing the disagreeable necessity of explanation Ma popularassembly is avoided. If such statements as those of Lord Palmerston are considered sufficient to deprive Parliament of its jurisdic tion, we shall never want assurances that Austria has some thing to propose, that the Congress has something to con sider, that there are " bases," or " elements," or shreds, or fragments upon which something may be constructed, or out of which something may be extracted, if they be only sub mitted often enough and long enough to the crucible of di plomatic chemistry. The establishment of such a principle is very convenient to a Ministry whose dissensions on peace and war render a discussion on the subject highly unadvisable, and equally expedient for the advocates of a craven and dis honourable policy, who shrink from submitting their prin-' ciples to the ordeal of a discussion in a popular assembly, but still wish to preserve to themselves the credit of not deserting them under the influence of clamour and unpopularity. It is not, however, quite so clear that this plan of eluding the dis cussion of peace and war, in deference to the supposed dangers of imaginary negotiations, will be satisfactory to the public at large, who care little for the unseen and condi tional, and are, above all things, absorbed in the visible and actual. They see that we have been negotiating . at Vienna on terms the very proposition of which is an insult 'to "the spirit and magnanimity of the nation. They iee • 'that our Ministry are charged to 'their faces in the most public manner by Mr. Roebuck with being at issue among themselves on the subject of peace and war, and do not dare to deny It ; and they see that when the Hou4 of Commons addresses itself to a discussion of these subjects, which must, if carried through, dissipate all doubt as to its own opinion and that of the Ministry, and show clearly whether they are in unison or not, the debate is put off on the most frivolous pretences, and the power of contracting an ignominious peace is still left in the hands of those who are more than suspected of a leaning in that direc tion. If the Government have any value for their own posi tion they will cease on this, the tenderest of all subjects, to tamper with the wishes and anxieties of the people. Let the House of Commons fairly state its own opinion, and let the Ministry as fairly and openly state theirs. Should they agree, both will have gathered fresh strength from the disclosure. Should they differ, these are no times in which such a dis crepancy should be allowed to exist one moment after it has been discovered. We must do justice to the House of Commons. We fully believe that to the great majority of them the manoeuvre by which they have been deprived at a moment so critical of the power of expressing their opinion is as odious as it is to our selves. They have been tricked out of their right by a dex terous stratagem, which deprived them of the power of regu lating their own proceedings or insisting that the motion b th e e en y mtrfeetkteodcbonystidbeerirsohwounldfobrme s p . ers T ev b e e re f d ssu wi e t t h. bat T w h a e s y ra h f a s v ed e by Mr. Gibson would have been presented to the house in innumerable shapes, had there not been a feeling that the m an tb d e that tr question w e was s no reason sufficientlyto doubt iai s raised b w y h u s d f a r e i s r o l l y u t r i e o d n e s e , im plied pledge to bring them on which he gave by placing them s o u n b t na h e it p f a o p b e r e . t b l e t v a m i n o s f t t o b b f s e d s e e x e f n e r w o u h s e t p h i e e t e • e the h a o e u t i s n e g w , i l or l whether it will not, as we think it ought, insist before it separates for the Whitsuntide'recess on recording its opinion as to the future negotiations of this country with Russia in a manner which will teach Ministers what they have to expect if, with discordant wills and vacillating policy, they ever again sue for that peace from the Czar which the nation is determined to extort by force of arms, and to secure by far different guarantees than those so idly discussed at Vienna. (Prom the Morning Chronicle of this day. ) " I have seldom witnessed in this house," said Mr. Disraeli yesterday evening, " a scene like that which is apparently performing near me to-night !" and a burst of cheers marked the instant appreciation of the remark by the House of Com mons. Well might the right honourable gyatleman charac terise the request made to Mr. Milner Gibson, that he would postpone his motion, as " extraordinary and impolitic." Ex traordinary it was, considering the circumstances under which it was made. Impolitic it certainly was, because it tends to lead the peoploof England to believe that they are being trifled with, and that the honour and dignity of this country are being imperilled, for purposes the mere suspicion of which is enough to fill them with indignation. Some weeks have now elapsed since the public heard with satisfaction that the solemn mockery of the Vienna Confer ences was at an end. Had the mission of Lord John Russell resulted in his being able to announce the conclusion of an honourable peace, it would have been hailed with satisfaction, because the people of England are not enamoured of war for its own sake, and all their material interests would be ad vanced by a peaceful settlement of the dispute with Russia. Failing that desired result, there appeared at least to be ground for congratulation that the energies of the country were no more to be trammelled by the network of diplo macy, and that the sword would cut the Gordian knot of negotiation. The mysterious relucta.nee of the Govern ment to enter into any discussion on the general ques tion of the war, although if they had been prepared with a straightforward policy, their fading popularity might have been restored, did, it must be admitted, some what damp the hopes of action to which the cessation of talking and protocolling had given birth. Still, so many traps had been set for the slippery Minister—there was Earl Grey's promised motion in the Lords—there was Mr. Milner Gibson's menaced provocation in the Commons—there was Mr. Disraeli's positive announcement that he at least would force a discussion on the foreign policy of the country—that it was not supposed possible Lord Palmerston could escape, or that if there was treason in the Ministerial camp it should not be exposed. Now, however, it appears that the old incubus is on us again. The Vienna Conferences are not at an end, after all 1 The meshes are again prepared for us; the "threads of ne gotiation" are once more to be wound round us, and our new resolves in favour of vigour and energy—of arriving at peace through , victory—are set at nought. " Her Majesty's Go vernment certainly do not consider all the modes of solution of the question at issue as exhausted." Now, if Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr. Bright, and some other gentlemen who helped to bring about the catastrophe of last evening, really believe that there is any hope of a satisfactory result from these anticipated proposals of Austria, they cannot be blamed for the course they hive adopted. They are de voted, avowedly or secretly, to the cause of " peace at any price," and they will consistently pursue their objects re gardless of the consequences which their limited views and misplaced i perseverance may bring upon the country. But the people of England will object to be thus trifled with. The attitude assumed by Lord Palmerston was happily characterised by Mr. Disraeli. • Goaded by the taunts of Mr. Disraeli, and coerced into an explanation by the evident reasonableness of his request, Lord Palmerston entered on a brief defence of his recent conduct. He appears to plume himself upon its negative character. He, forsooth, had done nothing ! Inquiry was demanded. He did not think it desirable, yet would not refuse it ! He did not wish to shrink from discussion, but ho deprecated it as injurious to the public interests ! And now he " leaves the matter in the hands of the house," well aware that a discreditable compromise was being effected, and that the only result of the conversation would be public disappointment. (From the Daily News of this day.) Last night Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Milner Gibson, who have for the last few days been colloguing At all out-Of-tllo•Wit7 times and in all out-of-the-way corners, entered,the House of COmmons, cheek by jowl, like the two kings at Brentford, smelling:at one rose. No sooner had they taken their places than Mr. S. Herbert inquired of Lord Palmerston whether ail hopes of peace between Russia and the Allite, through the intervention of Austria, were at an end. • The noble. Premier replied : By no means. Thereupon up rose Mr. Gladstone, and adjured, his. right honourable friend Mr. Milner Gibson to postpOne his motion, asserting that the terms /impounded by Russia at the Vienna Conferences for the . settlement of the third point, ought to have been accepted. This. brougbt Mr. Sidney Herbert on his legs again, 4 declare that if Mr. Gib son persisted in his motion he Uould move the previous question. The - Itrght Honourable. et-S ecretary a t W ar . was followed by Lord Harry Vaue, whd had undertaken to se cond the motion, and who ufged his principal to yield to the appeals addressed to him. Then folowed some further Mi nisterial declarations, to the effect tlat the motion, if per sisted in at the time, would materialiy embarrass the negotia tions which are not in progress at Vidana. Mt. Milner Gib son was all compliance. • Mr. •Bright did not appear quite certain what to think of the part talom in these iuterpella- Mons by his right honourable Uralyt. He, would rather have the motion persevered in ; but le was iq favour of any 'proceedings that would ensure peace tt any price ; he would support Mr. Gibson if he went on Wit his motion, and would . not .object to that gentleman's withd raw i ng it . S o the mo tion was postponed till after the Whitmn holidays—that is, ad GnrcaB Kalendas. Mr. Sidney Herbert took care to interpose a 4rotest that he was entirely ignorant of the course th e r i g ht honourable member for Manchester was likely to take in consequence of the appeal made to him by Mr. Gladst one . Of course, Mr. Gladstone bad told Mr. Sidney Herbe r t no thi ng of his secret communings with Mr. Milner Gibson—political colleagues often find it convenient not to tell each other, in express words, what both know quite well. In like inanner, Mr. Milner Gibson is to be presumed to hare been quite unfere- Warned of the question to be put to Lorl Palmerston by Mr, Sidney Herbert, and the appeal to be mtde to himself by Mr. Gladstone. And all the three were in user ignorance of what Lord Palmerston would say in reply to -gr. Sidney Herbert, as the noble viscount was, on his part, taken quite by surprise by that gentleman's question. A more gross and transparent farce has never been played off in the two of a conniving House of Commons. The obvious thinblerigging of the " Peace-at-any-price" faction, of the Abadeenites, and Mi nisters, was last night palpable to the dullest understanding. The Aberdeenites sought to back out of tie scrape, fearing the public indignation that would be roused against them if they supported the disgraceful motion of Mr. Bright's caudal appendage ; Mr. Milner Gibson had no inclination to make himself a laughing-stock by dividing withott the support of the Aberdeenites ; and both parties had a petty strong con viction that the wishes and intentions of Ministers were in harmony with their own. We speak more in sorrow than in anger. It is clear that there is among our leading public men no fee ing for the na tional honour, no power of comprehending tie real interests Of the nation. There is but one wish among them—to patch up a bungled and mismanaged war by a disgraceful peace. This is a terrible state of affairs ; for the people are indignant and alarmed, unaccustomed to act for thentselves, and.basely deserted by all the leaders in whom they have been disposed to place confidence. The expedition to Kertchhas returned to Balaklava without even attempting to land. The Premier tells us that he is open to receive further proposals from Russia through the tainted medium of Austria, though there is not an Englishman worthy of the name who does not feel that concession on the part of the Allies has already been pushed beyond all reasonable bounds. And tie. House of Commons allows such a Rigadoon as was performed before them—by three loudly professing factions—the Harlequin, Clown, and Pantaloon of the spectacle—to be palmed off upon them as serious business. We do not believe the country will tolerate the disgraceful as dangerous winding up of the war which the three parties to last night's con spiracy against its honour and interests contemplate : but we have ere now seen the English people obliged to take their business' into their own hands when deserted by those to whom they had been accustomed to look as their natural leaders ; and with the monster meetings throughout the manufacturing districts—to say nothing of the scenes enacted at Bristol and Clumber Castle, vividly in our recollection— we honestly confess that we view with anything but plea surable anticipations tho inevitable repetition' of such an experiment. (From the Morning Herald of this day.) A visitor to the strangers' gallery, uninitiated in the mysteries of Parliamentary warfare, might very easily have come to the conclusion that the proceedings last evening in the House of Commons were nothing but a farce. The motion of which Mr. Milner Gibson had given notice was calculated to extort from the Palmerston Administiation some explanations of the policy upon which the foreign affairs of England are conducted, or rather misconducted, at this moment. The Ministers were to be tried by the ordeal of this debate. The country was to be satisfied, not only as to the good faith of its rulers, but as to their unanimity amongst themselves. The question of divided as well as timid councils was to be determin9d. Rumours of adivision in a Cabinet that has never yet been cordially united cannot occasion much sur prise ; but the danger is still more critical. It is asserted that these divisions have assumed so important a character that only by a disgraceful and dishonourablepeace can they be allayed. The plenipotentiary that went to Viennabreathing defiance, has returned with all his ferocity extracted. He can assail none now but his immediate friends. Like a real turnspit, he has commenced growling at his former associates. One very im portant point strengthens this opinion —Lord John. Russell has not given public expression to his views upon the war since be reached England. Even last night, impelled by the s. T d h i e se m re e t tn io b7 and his reserve in this matter is, to say the least of it , ro markable.ne remonstrances of speakers on both sides of the house, he only gave us a history of the conforenc's ; h e said nothing o f hi s for ow ' London feelings is; he talked not gene: ally hie s er i b n u st r ru den t er with But wo have not done with Mr. Milner Gibson yet. Ho threw himself into the breach to - save the Government ; they now manage to postpone until after Whitsuntide any discus sion upon their foreign policy. Inquiry the people will and must have. (From the Morning PoX of this day.) The House of Commons and the country had an escape last night. A somewhat angry discussion, short but the reverse of sweet, took the place of the long debate that was expected to develop the most energetic bitterness of Mr. Disraeli, and to give those followers of Lord Derby who wait with anxiety on the changes in that nobleman's resolutions the pleasure of stating their perfect readiness to take office, and their con viction that, by their so doing; peace would be restored on some or on any terms, or that war could be carried on with the greatest advantage at no cost to the country. The state ments of Lord Palmerston and of Lord John Russell showed clearly, and without a doubt, what ought to have been well enough known before that the discussion of Mr. Milner's, Gibson's proposed resolutions, weak as the resolutions were' would la ave done infinite mischief to , any prospects of an honourable peace that may yet remain—to any hopes of an arrangement through the anxious mediation of Austria. Our position is simple enough. We have held, and we still hold, peace as too precious a gift to throw away the slightest chance of grasping it. If the house cannot trust the present Ministry—if it believe that Lord Palmerston has not the vigour, ability, or experience to direct the fate of the country —if it hold Lord Malmesbnry superior to Lord Clarendon--or if it have a fancy to try conclusions with Mr. Layard, or with any of the volunteers of the A dininistrative Reform Associa tion, let it by all means says so, break with the present Go vernment, put in the new one, and let us see what will come of it. Mr. Milner Gibson, few (except the disappointed men big with speeches) will question, has shown the better part of valour by his discretion in postponing his much-talked - of motion till after Whitsuntide. The strong Bright and the powerful Cobden could not have shown much strength—could not have spoken with great power on a subject so awkwardly encompassed with ugly facts—could not have set the country blazing against the iniquity of the Government in not having made peace, when, all the world is growing hourly to a stronger persuasion that we have no choice left but that of a vigorous and active war. We say that we have no choice left ; for, as matters stand at present, we have no choice be tween an active war and a dishonourable peace. PEACE OR WAR. (From , the Times of this day.) It was very clear from the beginning, or rather before the beginning, that there were many who did not know what it was to go to war. They thought it possibly an affair of long shots, of prizes, of campaigns arranged in perfect security , executed with wonderful despatch, and triumphantly own part,it con cluded, we knew what a European war as likely to lie ; so wo were in no hade d e been, . andr our u r what such hurry to get into it, and were called "Russians" and many more hard names in consequence. It would now appear that the war party imagined we could shift from peace to war, and war to peace, as often or as quickly as we pleased.; that it was-only an affair of parade or of uniform ; and that general actions admitted of as much prearrangement as a review on Woolwich-common. The fact is so unlike everything they sup posed that they think they may, without any inconsistency,ask to be relieved of it. Like the lady in a storm at sea, they send word to the captain, beseeching him to stop the ship. There is, however, no stopping the ship so long as the storm lasts, , holdswho, out unless we stop it by running ashore or going to the bottom. We can, if we please, send word to th e Em p er o r, our foe, or the Emperor, our ally, to say that we have thought better of it, that we are wiser than last year, and beg to be permitt e d to withdraw. This, however , is so ver y unlike what we have hitherto seen in any class of Englishmen, old or youn g ; it i s so unlike schoolboys, who always fi g ht out their quarrels as f u o n r lik b e ett o e u r r te a rm rti s san , . l w o b n till they are fairly starved into subm ission, that we can hardly believe it to be the same class that cried so lou d last year g en as th t e h y ey ha c v sell standon ce i s t tru is "struck" and cries so small this. Then it was all defiance, all thunder, all splutter, all abuse, like- that old Goliath or Homer's rude heroes. Now it is all softness and civility, and we are told we ought not to judge Russia uncharitably. Perhaps sh e means well, and we ought to put the most favourable con struction oniher actions. So, after driving Coriolanus to extre mities, we are now to send precessions of mothers and wiv es in the shape of amiable plenipotentiaries to agree to any terms he may please to allow us. Is this the sort of line for England to take ? Does it suit our national character, our Position, our interests, our reputation, or anything about us? We are sure it does not. Why, we stand mainly by reputation. What are we, a f ew millions, in these two little islands, to affect to govern about one-eighth, or one-seventh, of the whole hnman race,—to hold a sort of supremacy. on the sea, and to maintain a fore most place in the nations of Europe ? There is an immense arrogance, not to say impudence, in these pretensions, unless wo carry them through with a high hand and do every thing worthy of them. So long as we challenge no more than we are ready to, perform we are respectable, and are not likely to be rashly encountered; but if we are once found , playing at the game of brag, then all our mighty prestige will go to the winds, and we shall be left,, with our two little islands, and our twenty-eight millions. We shall then be stripped of our feathers, the bipes implume of na , tions, the great impostor found out, and universally exe crated and despised in proportion to the terror and respect we have hitherto imposed. It so happens that wo play the biggest part in those very quarters of the globe where people judge by looks, and follow the loudest talker. Throughout the East there is always a notion of some great man or some great nation dominating over all the others, holding the posi tion, keeping the strong house, and able to shut out all the world besides. When two pretenders of this sort are at war, Orientals very naturally believe it is a sort of cock-fight, or a battle for the championship, and prepare themselves to wor ship the, conqueror and trample on the conquered. Not even money, nothing except prowess, can give us the sort Ti of • e. subsidize, s i voon t o iffor i p i t y h: al eeethes erepeatsg ol wr general people o new p mex. w l expect. h e rapaeye . edtm. twi expectation dtohhn.have transports ieehr: O i sihi e u i s : r e. 8 heardoii e.tofsi mricitsi correspondentmod:derxlrincereaiat:cen excited ;iron: s a wt eha t . ele submit C r tm o Nvqh n uaaeytalnaet payabr yet foreigu contingents, we 'may feed and clothe, but it will be necessary also to keep up our army, and to conquer with it. Wore peace now to follow upon war as rashly and lightly as war has followed upon peace—that is, were England to conclude - a •peace on disgraceful .terms—the British public would soon open' their eyes to the unpleasant fact that they had lost east& in the world. Every Englishman would begin' to 'be ashamed' of himself, and no doubt we should have people insisting Upon some. summary way of wiping out disgrace and defeat. But this is not to be done. So no peace at present, till the objects of war have been at tained, unless we would lose the respect of our neighbours iu Europe, and our subjects in Asia. ' But it seems ridiculous to talk of a discreditable peace at the very time when we are in better condition than ever for war. Now that the whole of the French force has sailed, and the Sardinian Contingent is on its way, the Allies will soon have in the Crimea not less than 200,000 of the best sqldiers in the world, ready to undertake anything, and able to do it. They cannot and must not re turn without taking Sebastopol, unless they would show ns on how flimsy a basis a great military reputation can rest. England cannot afford this downfall, nor can the Emperor of the French. His throne rests on opinion. He represents his people. He is of their election ; he is their idol, their voice ; and, so long as he prospers, their pride. Should his legions return with nothing to show for their campaigns but an enor mous bill of costs and list of killed and wounded, he will have to fight .a harder battle at home than his generals have been doing in the Crimea.. So, also, will the Government of this country, which is on its trial, and which will not escape the fate of its predecessor, unless it can point to some material success and to some guarantee better than Russian words. But there is not even safety for a nation such as ours when she once begins to recede, for when our tide no longer flows it will begin to ebb. The battle we are.now fighting at Sebas topol we shall, before long, have to fight nearer home, and even at hOme, we confess our incapacity for war. It had ever been the boast, and even comfort, of this country, that whereas no other can be at war but its own territory is out raged, its own towns and villages destroyed, and its own streams stained with blood, our soil is sacred. We neither hear nor see the war others wage, and have it in our own power to chose our battle-field. We have been rather apt to choose it a good way from home, This requires that we keep to the ground we have once chosen for the decision of our quarrel. , But, in point of fact, one place is much the same as another in these days, and to be beaten in the Crimea is the same thing as to be beaten all over the world. There is no such thing as a mere geographical re putation, and a man may as well expect to enjoy a cha racter for probity in one place which he does not in another, as to have a military reputation restricted to certain longitudes. We have to secure not only the fear of an enemy that is distant, but the respect of an ally that is very near, and of neighbours that are also within reach. Even now, when we press Austria to take the side of honour and advan tage, she taunts us with the smallness of our own contributions to the war, and tells us we are not in a condition to ask the aid of others while we do so little for ourselves. This, at least, shows the spirit we have to deal with, and it is a spirit that will be ready enough to assume the aggressive should the oc casion ever occur. We have to teach not only Russia, but all Europe and the whole world to respect us—not for our num bers, not for our home territory, not even for the number of men we can bring into the field, but for our evident determi nation to fight out, at every hazard and cost, the cause we have at once embraced. THE APPOINTMENT OF GENERAL PELESSIER. (From the Daily News of this day.) The Emperor of the French has given another proof of his being in earnest in the war against Russia. The Moniteur of Friday contains the appointment of General Pelissier as Com mander-in-Chief of the French forces in the Crimea. It is said in the same official paper that General Canrobert has re signed the post he held in consequence of. ill-health. But as the following paragraph announces him to have taken General Pelissier's place as commander of a division, the Public are not, to believe any more of the alleged reason than they like. An officer who is too unwell to remain at the head of an army can hardly be fit to continne ou active service at all ; and, there fore, it is not unnatural to conclude that General Canrobert has received from his imperial waster a hint that he could no longer be at the head of the French army before Sebastopol, but that, being a bravo man and a good soldier he is unwilling to leave the seat of war so long as there is a chance of a shot being fired. Further than this it behoves us not to examine the cause of so important a change. With that courtesy for which their nation is so celebrated, the French havo abstained all along from commenting upon the conduct of many English General officers, who, ,although too sick to remain in the Crimea, have been well enough for several months past to dine out at public dinners twice and three times a week, and to take part in every festivity'- public and private—to which they have been invited since their return to England. Sir De Lacy Evans is an exception to this almost universal rule, and we wish he was not the only one. Let us, therefore, follow the example set us by our neighbours; and neither talk too much nor inquire too minutely as to the why and the wherefore a General officer belonging to the army of our allies has been placed iu an inferior position to that which he pre viously filled, Whatever may be the reason for the change, it cannot be said of General Canrobert that he has made his health an excuse , for leaving the seat of war. In his reply to General Caurobert, the Emperor congratulates him on his desire to remain with the army (" Il lions felicito du senti ment qui vous fait demander do roster h l'armec"), and names him not merely to the command of a simple division, but to that of the corps d'arinee which Pelissicr has been at the head of since his arrival from Algiers. The soldier-like senti ment of General Canrohcrt is precisely that which induced General Evans to rise from a sick bed in order to be present at Inkerman, although he declined taking the command of his division out of Major-Gen. Penuefathcr's hands. Would that we could record a few more similar instances of devotedness to their profession on the pa'rt of English General officers since the war began. The Emperor of the French has now given a fresh proof of his earnestness iu the prosecutioh of the war ; could ho not impart a portion of his public energy to his friend Lord Palmerston ? • THE VIENNA CONFERENCES. THE RUSSIAN VERSION. Under date of St. Petersburg, April 28, Count Nes selrode, has issued the following circular note to Russian diplomatists abroad : " St. Petersburg, April 28. " Sir,—The deliberations of the Conference of Vienna, without being finally broken off, remain suspended, the Ple nipotentiaries of France and of Great Britain having declared their instructions exhausted. • " To enable the Imperial Legations to form a correct judg ment of the actual state of the negotiation, I make it a duty to draw a sketch of the whole, to state the results obtained, so as to point out the circumstances which, in arresting its progress, have been au obstacle to its success. " My despatch of the 25th of February made you ac quainted with the spirit in which the instructions were con ceived which the late Emperor Nicholas, of glorious memory, gave to his representatives when the Vienna Conferences were about to be opened. Confirmed by our august master on his advent to the throne, those directions were faithfully acted upon by the plenipotentiaries selected by his Majesty to take part in that important negotiation. It comprised four ques tions— 1. Immunities of the Principalities. 2. Navigation of the Danube. 3. Revision of the treaty of 1841. 4. Guarantee of the religious and civil liberties of the, Christian populations subject to the domination of the Otto man Empire. " Before entering into a discussion of these articles, the Russian plenipotentiaries made a formal declaration, as in serted in protocol I. It is as follows : _ . " Prince Gortschakoff says—" - It is only by entering into the details of each question that it can be ascertained whe ther we can come to an agreement or not. We have all the same starting point ; I also hope we have the same object in view—namely, a general peace—a peace which can only be solid and of practical value if honourable to both par ties. If from any quarter whatever it should be attempted to impose conditions upon Russia for that peace incompatible with her honour, Russia would never consent to them, how ever serious might be the consequences.' " Such was the point of departure which the Russian plenipotentiaries, conformably to the orders o f th e i r C ourt, clearly established at the very outset of the negotiation. No member of the Conference contested the validity of that de claration of principle. Far from it ; they each of them attested that it was far from the intention of their Cabinets to make propositions hurtful to the dignity of Russia. On the strength of those assurances the deliberations opened on the 15th of March. " The sittings of the 17th and 18th of March were devoted to the question of the Principalities. It was settled, honour ably, loyally, and disinterestedly, as the late Emperor wished it. In his august thoupts he had essentially at heart to maintain the populations of Moldavia, Wallachia, and of Servia in the peaceful enjoyment of the religious and civil immunities which Russia had assured to them as the price of her blood shed for a century in the cause of her co religionists. " Their immunities remain intact. The protocols of Vienna 2 and 3 have served to consolidate their maintenance, under the collective guarantee of all the high contracting parties. By this guarantee the privileged regime of the Principalities enters the domain of the law of public right in Europe. Hitherto the care of watching over the execution of the en gagements taken by the Porte in her quality of sovereign Power fell upon Russia alone. Henceforth she will share that obligation with the other guaranteeing Powers. This community of duties will put an end to that feeling of rivalry which the exclusive surveillance exercised by Russia gave rise to. " For too long a time pubic opinion had denounced that state of things to the hatred of the stranger under the name of the Russian protectorate. This is the proper place to re mind you that you will not find that expression used in any of our treaties —either in that of Kainardji, or in that of Bucharest, or in the convention of Akerman, or in the treaty of Adrianople. There could be no question, therefore, of erasing from our acts a protectorate which never existed. Rus sia, in the past, had contracted a promise to guarantee the prosperity of the Principalities. The treaty of Adrianople confirmed that promise. The Imperial Cabinet has fulfilled it again to-day, and will fulfil it in the future, when, in com mon accord with all the Powers, it places the immunities of the Principalities under the formal sanction of the law of public right in Europe. "In this pOint of view the Vienna protocols deserve appre ciation as a permanent pledge of security added to the bases !Ton. which the political and national existence of the Danu bian provinces reposes. The Imperial Cabinet has the satis factory conviction of having loyally accomplished that result, with the double object of assuring on the one hand the wel fare of those countries, and on the other of putting aside new causes of misunderstanding, rivalry, and perturbation from politics in general. " It was in the same spirit that the Russian plenipotenti aries discussed and solved the second question—that of the navigation of the Danube. It was the object of the sittings of the 21st and 23d of March. " By protocols 4 and 5 it was agreed to apply to the navi gation of the Danube the principles generally established con cerning river communications by the acts of the Congress of Vienna, In virtue of that legislation a mixed commission will henceforth have the task of removing the material obsta cles which have impeded the navigation, and on more than I one occaidon have given rise to the complaints of commerce. H a ying happily ove'rcomo the difficulties presented by the first two articles, the plenipotentiaries passed to the exa mination of the third, comprised under the denomination of revision of the treaty of the 13th of July, 1841. " The Imperial Cabinet calmly awaited the explanation of the views the Western Powers held on this point. Hitherto their intentions variously commented upon either by the press or in Parliament, had not been clearly defined in the preliminary meetings held at Vienna on the 28th of December and the 7th of January. At that period the representatives of France and England had lithited themselves to a statement that, in the eyes of their Cabinets, the revision of the treaty of 1841 ought to have the object of connecting in a more complete manner the existence of the Ottoman empire to the equilibrium of Europe, and to put an end to the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea. AS regards the arrangements for carrying out that object,' the 'dud -potentiaries declared that they depended too much upon the events of the war to allow the bases to be settled at: once. Public manifestations in France and England, how ever, sufficiently betrayed the idea which lurked behind those words. It aimed at the destruction of Sebastopol. Doubt less, according to the calculations of the Cabinets of Loudon and Paris, the military operations in the Crimea, going haild in-hand with diPlomatic deliberations, were to influence the issue of the Vienna Conferences. _ _ " When they opened the anticipation was not justified by events ; and therefo.ce the name of Sebastopol was never ut tered. Russia is indebted for this silence to the heroic resist ance of her brave generals, officers, sailors, and soldiers. Their noble devotion has been the most victorious means of negotiation. The Imperial Cabinet deems itself happy in being able to say so. In its presence the combinations of our adversaries took another shape and assumed another tone. In the conference of the 26th of March the plenipotentiaries of France and England advanced the idea that it was for the two Powers possessing coast territory on the Black Sea to concert together the means of equalising their naval forces. Abstain ing, however, from making a clear and precise proposal on the subject, they left it to the Russian plenipotentiaries to take the initiative of the measures which the Imperial Cabinet might deem it advisable to indicate spontaneously, with a view to establish a just equilibrium between the relative forces. " Prince Gortschakoff and M. Titoff, without prejudging the intentions of their Court, thought it advisable to ascer tain the Emperor's decision as to the new aspect given to the third point under discussion, " Thus, on the 26th of March, the deliberations were ad journed until a reply could be received from St. Petersburg. During the interval the plenipotentiaries of Austria and Rus sia agreed that it would be advisable to pass to the examina tion of the fourth article, relative to the immunities of the Christian populations in the East. " As you are aware, the national feeling of Russia attaches so high and so serious an imptrtance to this question, that the late Emperor had ordered his representatives to give it the first place in the text of the treaty about to be concluded. Doubtless all the Powers, like Russia, recognised the gran deur of that interest, common to the whole of Christianity, in the unanimously-avowed object of watching over, by a European act, the future welfare of the Christian populations of the East, without distinction of form of worship. " We regret to say that the plenipotentiaries of France and England, after receiving the instructions of their Courts, re fused to pass on to the examination of this question as long as the discussion on the third point was in a state of suspense. The formalities required to state and explain that refusal oc cupied the seventh and eighth sitting, of the 20th of March and 2d of April. " The ninth sitting, that of the 9th of April, was devoted to the verification of the full powers of M. Drouyn de l'Huys and of Aali Pasha. The presence of the French Minister of Fo reign Affairs, in giving an additional degree of importance to the labours of the Conferenct, seemed to strengthen the hope entertained that they would lead to a pacific solution. That hope diminished in the subsequent meetings, which I have to describe: "On the 16th of April the Russian plenipotentiaries re ceived the instructions they had demanded. They were based upon a simple and truer principle ; the idea of submitting to a revision the treaty of 1841 did not appertain to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. For its part, it would have been ready to renew the engagements in virtue of which the former legisla tion of the Ottoman Empire, concerning the closing of the Straits, had obtained the sanction of a European act. The desire of modifying that state of things was evinced by the Western Powers. It was therefore for them to take the initi ative in making the propositions for a revision, which, at the very onset, they made one of the preliminary bases for ,the negotiations for peace. . " The late Eniperer, in authorising his representative to take part therein, had deigned to provide him with precise instructions, approved by his Majesty at the end of last year,' in the expectation of the opening of the Vienna Con ferences. For the sake of more clearness I will briefly state the exact tenour of those instructions. They start from the principle that the Sultan, as Sovereign of the territory touching the two Straits of ' the Dardanelles, and of the Bosphorus, has a right to open or shut the passage. They are not opposed to throwing open the Black Sea to foreign flags, if the Porte itself admits the principle. In that case they reduced the natural consequence of a perfect reci procity, so that the Russian vessels might be free to pass the straits, to enter the Mediterranean in the same manner that foreign ships-of-war might navigate the Black Sea. They, moreover, admitted the perfect liberty of the Sultan to exer cise his sovereign rights to assign Turkish ports as harbours of refuge and provisioning for foreign vessels. On these con ditions the late Emperor bad authorised, eventually, his Plenipotentiaries to give their assent to the abrogation of the principle of closing the Straits. " Faithful to the idea of his august father, the Emperor Alexander 11. prescribed to his Plenipotentiaries to adhere strictly to the instructions with which they were already provided. In making that decision known to them on the 11th of April, hip Majesty deigned to authorise them to con tinue the deliberation commenced in the sitting of the 20th of March, and to discuss the matter thoroughly, leaving to our adversaries the obligation of taking the initiative of a revision provoked by the Western Powers, and not by the Russian Cabinet. On the day after they received the instruc tions of their Court, PriU .. Ce Gortechakoft and M. TitoT, in the 10th sitting, that of the 17th of April, pat it to the Plenipotentiaries of France and England to explain themselves as to the modifications their Cabinets desired to have niade in the treaty of 1841. "Those modifications occupied the 11th and 12th sittings, of the 19th and 21st of April. " In the first the Plenipotentiaries of the Western Powers explained the plan concerted between their Courts. In the second the Plenipotentiaries of Russia presented a counter project, based upon the instructions of the Imperial Cabinet. " We will briefly an dyse both. " The first project read in the sitting of the 19th of April consists of ten articles. (Here follow the ten articles, already published in the papers presented to Parliament, Annex A to Protocol XI.) After this project was read the Russian Pleni potentiaries, without entering into a discussion of the articles from 3 to 10, reserved to themselves to give a reply in the next conference as to the mode of solution proposed. " The rapidity of telegraphic communications established between Vienna and St. Petersburg enabled Prince Gort schakoff to bring the proposals made on the 19th of April im mediately to the knowledge of the Imperial Cabin e t. Th ey differed essentially, p r i ma f ac i e , f r om th e ver y remar k a bl e definition which. Lord John Russell established on the 2Gth of March to serve as a rule for the solution of the problem which formed the object of the actual deliberation. Let us quote the words of the English plenipotentiary, inserted in the text of Protocol 6:— , - " Lord John Russell recalling the declaration made at the opening of the nogotiation by Prince Gortschakoff, that he would consent to no condition incompatible with the honour of RusTia, maintained that in the eyes of England and of her allies her best and only admissible conditions of peace would be those which, being the nfost in• harmony with the honour of Russia, should at the same time be sufficient for the security of Europe and for preventing a return of complications such as that the settlement of which is now in question,' " After this declaration, made formally in the conference of the26th of March, Lord John Russell cannot be surprised that the propositions made on the 19th of April were not judged by the Imperial Cabinet as the best and only admis sible ones,' to quote the words of the English plenipotentiary. In sooth, to limit the number of vessels in the Black Sea while the naval forces in the Mediterranean remained without control ; to open the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus to France and England while closed to the Russian flag ; finally, to stipu late the nomination of foreign Consuls in our ports without the Imperial Government having in its power to refuse them the exequatur—a right enjoyed equally by France and Eng land in the territories submitted to their rule ;—surely these were not conditions of a nature to assure the blessings of a solid and durable peace to Europe ; for a transaction to be a permanent one between States must be mutually llonourable, otherwise it is not peace, but an armistice. " These considerations. appreciated in their exact truth, will complete the proof that in reality the combinations suggested by the plenipotentiaries of France and England Nyould have offered fewer and less solid pledges for the peace of Europe than the plan drawn up by the late Emperor. He threw open the Black Sea freely to the flags of all nations ; thereby he put an 'end to the isolation of the Ottoman empire, and to the apprehension caused in foreign States by the disproportion of the naval forces of the two Powers who have territory in the Black Sea. By ceasing to be closed it was made accessible to the surveillance and ob servation of all other Powers. This did away also with the fear of the presumed danger to which the capital of the Otto man empire might be exposed by the vicinity of our naval establishments. In a word, that plan, conceillid by a policy at the same time provident and disinterested, would, on the one hand, have afforded a permanent guarantee of security to Europe, while, on the other, the dignity of Russia would not have suffered in the slightest degree. On her side she would have obtained equal rights for her flag by the openingof the Da perfect we rn h e ra l l eve e eisp beenrao n c d i t yi n o , f wt th hhiec e ha d B ; ismup on sn n s. the o f thiso n pla b n o t th he sides meri t th of er a e basis of international re lations, the immutable principle of justice, which the senti ment of honour of every nation approves and respects. " Penetrated with this conviction, our august master re iterated to his representatives the order of adhering to the execution of that plan as given in their instructions under the late Emperor. plan presented " The telegraphic communications gave incredible celerity to the transmission of that order. Thus thet st. po at Vienna on the 19 th of April, examined a in the conference of the 21 st. i "obeyed the orders of the Having Petersburg on the 20th, was declined by the Russian plenipotentiaries in the same sitting a counter-projectir basedCourt,upon they p t r , in structions, on the principle of throwing op en the Straits and e ir ated the free navigation of the Black Sea. drawn up with a view to develope the Cabinet in the general in terest" In support of that plan theyrea ad d v -Ll ta , bination proposed by the Imperial a g es memorandumo f the com 2dcOnavne convert expo sition containing the series of . articles On the demand of the Russian of the balance of poweri he said project into a treaty. documents were annexed to Pro tocolnEurodpeest;inaneddto, to all friendly Powers the sincerity 12.

The first obstacle was raised by the Ottoman plenipotentiary. He declared that his instructions prescribed the* ntenance of _ the principle of the closing of the St ra it s ; that the Sublime Porto bad ever considered that principle a guarantee of its in dependence ; and that it wish e d i t to be respected with some The plenipotentiaries of e Fran xcep e t e io an ns d th un at g m lan ig d ht de b e e lin st e i d pul ato t e d . discuss the Russian counter protect, as being founded upon a bee* entirely contrary to /_ their instructions. Consequently, they declared that they were not authorised to discuss the details of the plan. In conclusion, they fleclared that their powers were exhausted. The Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, declaring that his 1 Court had nothing more at heart than to contribute to the establishment of peace, expressed his regret that Russiashould propose the principle of throwing open the Black Sea while the other Powers unanimously maintained a contrary principle as necessary to the tranquillity of - Europ e . " However, he did not regard the different modes of solu tion as exhausted, and he regarded it especially the task of Austria to endeavour to find means for a rapproachment. He hoped the conference would meet again as soon as one of the members had new propositions to make. " The day after the sitting of the 21st Lord John Russell left Vienna for London. His departure did not put an end sttraheitasss as assent a t to the conferences. The deliberations were re sumed on the 26th of April, at the req uest of the Pleni potentiaries of Russia.

Protocol No. XIII.] • " On the 28th of April M. D rouyn de Minya left Vienna. " Such is a resume of the negotiations up to-the 28th of April. To preserve to this statement the character of sim plicity and calmness which is suitable to au historical narra tive, we have carefully avoided recrimination. It sufficed to establish the facts in their proper order, to make you acquainted with the intentions which the Imperial Cabinet made preside over each of the points under discussion. We will recapitulate there briefly : ‘.. 4 The first was one of political rivalry. The Emperor took the most exalted view of it; he resolved , it in the interest o f the irelfare of the Principalities, the prosperity - oTwhreh Rtie: - sia had promised to guarantee. She has kept, and will keep, her promise. " The second was connected with general interests of com merce. The Emperor has decided in favour of the free trade of all nations.

Theenehsie national sentiment Tte fourth point was one of religions liberty, of civili sation, and social order for all Christendom. In the eyes of the Imperial Cabinet it is that which ought one day to be placed at the head of a treaty of general peace worthy of being invested with the sanction of all the Sovereigns of Europe. The plenipotentiaries of France and Englandrefused to touch even this question of religions interest before that concerning the navigation of the Black Sea had been settled. " After this reflection there remains nothing for us to add to the recital we have made. " You are authorised to communicat i t this recital to the Cabinet to which you have the honour of being accredited. It will judge which side was most loyal in endeavouring to pro cure the re-establishment of peace ; it will decide on which side the obstacles arose which have prevented that desirable work. If it finally fails by the rupture of the conferences, the impartial opinion of friendly Powers will at least render the justice to Russia to acknowledge that she sparedno efforts to assure the success of a negotiation destined to realise the deeply-expressed desire for a general pacification. " Europe may count upon the constant and firm solicitude which the Emperor will always devote to that great interest, when the hour shall have come when Divine Providence will have enlightened the conscience of the Cabinets whose im placable hostility, in presence of the mourning which covers an august tomb, calls Upon his Majesty to defend with his drawn sword the safety and the honour of his country. NESSELRODE." NEWS VENDORS' BENEVOLENT INSTI- TUTION. The general meeting of this praiseworthy institution was held last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern; Mr. Charles Dickens, the president, in the chair. The Chairman, after describing the objects of the institution, forcibly recommended it, and expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which it was managed. He then drew a humorous picture of the newsvendors' business, show ing how admirably they managed their affairs, in contra distinction to the way in which matters were conducted in other places. From the excellent way in which this society was conducted he had every hope of its success, but if his friend, Mr. Wyld, had been appointed to carry on the distribution of newspapers, simply because his great-great-great-grandmother had been so, he should have very little hope indeed. (Laughter.) Again, if he (the chairman) received papers two or three years old, with all sorts of publications which he did not want, and if his staff could do no more than stand on their heads, or " over" all the street-posts upon their beat. instead of distributing papers, while a juvenile junior held their oilskin " portfolio," he should have also very little hope. (Laughter.) Some time" ago they had a strike of cab men, which caused a great deal of inconvenience ; but ho could assure them, as an idea of their usefulness, a cab .-trike would be a men) trifle compared to the irn• portance ofa suspension of the labours of the di-tribu tnrsi of news. (L'ltigiter.) Their calling had become of vital interest to the community in t')e assistance which it rendered to the diffusion of that mighty engine—the terror alike of alt humbugs and despots, the press — (loud . cheers)—and that calling had now become more useful than over. He remembered the period when the s',eet of tile 7;211.C3 wool 1 have hardly furnished one night's curling paper - fir a young la , ly's hair, particularly if she was possessed of anything like a tolerable crop, and he hat watched its growth up to the present day, when every one must admit that a morning's Times would make a moderate-sized carpet for a dining-room. (Cheers and laughter.) Looking, then, at this development of its power, without speculating upon the future, he thought that the newspaper trade should, in justice to itself, rise also in influence and position. (Hear, hear.) It rested with themselves entirely whether their desires should be realised, and whether they should obtain that support from each other and from the public which he believed their exertions deserved. Mr. Coles, the secretary, then read the report, which was of a gratifying character, 501. having been added to their funded stock during the last year. Mr. Gilbert moved, and Dlr.Wyld seconded, the adoption of the report, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Terry moved a resolution tendering the thanks of the meeting to the press for the valuable assistance which it had rendered them. On looking over the list of subscriptions be found that more than two-thirds came 'from the press. He was glad of that, and was also happy to say that they were enabled to distribute the influence of that mighty engine over the world. Carried unanimously. Mr. C. D. Walter moved, and Mr. W. Wright seconded, another resolution—" That the thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby given, to those proprietors of newspapers and other friends who have liberally contributed to the funds of the institution." — Carried unanimously. Votes of thanks to the commit tee and to the chairman were then agreed to. MAINE LIQUOR LAW.—Last night a public meeting, respectably attended, was held at St. Martin's-ball, con vened by the " United Kingdom Alliance for the total Suppression of the Traffic in Intoxicating Liquors throughout the United Kingdom," in aid of their move ment. Alderman Sir R. Carden occupied the chair. The Rev. J. Hansom, the Rev. Jabez Burns, D.D., and other gentlemen, having addressed the meeting, a re solution in furtherance of the object of the meeting was adopted, and also a petition to both Houses of Parlia ment, praying for the enactment of a law absolutely pro hibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in this country. DIPLOMATIC SPECIAL PLEADING.—The answer we are disposed to make to Count Nesselrode's circular shall be in a higher tone and on a broader principle.
