"Open your mouth and shut your eyes and see" what Lord John Russell (in whom net one man out of a hun dred has the very srnalleit confidence) may ,think proper to send you I Really these negotiations seem to be very much Of the nature of the mill machines sold by the American projector, which he asserted were of such marvellous efficacy that if you "put in a live pig at the top, it woull come out at the bottom converted into Bologna sausages and patent scrubbing-brushes." The man who purchased one of the above marvels, and did " put in his pig," was not one whit more stupid in his anticipation s than the aforesaid people of Eng land who expect that any good can come out of the Vienna Conferences. After all, however, we shall find that the juggleries of the Congress are no matters for laughter. We cannot conceal from ourselves that the crisis is fearful, and the results in such hands almost certain to 'be disastrous, if not ruinous. wanbdichthedoder9iv4 nit of the R uss i ans We cirst wish to lay down that we consid er an y p eace provide for the l t e l v l eTli a n g di o s t ,, , -r s w e !e f a u s l o o p n o e i thlii:d the CAlunsus, and shall then proceed to show why a disgraceful peace will be necessarily a disastrous One. In the first place, a peace such as we have described will be only a hollow truce ; it will he virtually t h e status quo ante, with this enormous difference—that th e WeA,:rn Power; will have faile I in their endeavours to. restrain Russia, and that they will have lost their pres.. tige, not only i n E uro p e , b u t—where the loss will be fatal at least to England—in Central Asia. All Asia is looking on at the struggle before Sebastopol. In Asia no man reasons—he sees. Every Asiatic judges by re sults ; he has nothing to do with causes. England and France will have failed in their attack, and the impression produced will be that the two great nations are no match for the Czar. Hew such an im pression will work in our Eastern empire he who runs may read. We do not wish to dwell upon the . effect in France. We have a thousand times stated that it will virtually dissolve the alliance with England ; but, far worse, it will peril the dynasty. The only chance the present Emperor will have will be to lay the whole blame on England, and strike against Prussia for the Rhenish provinces, and then comes the German war, to avoid which Aberdeen bowed down before Austria. Several solutions of the Blaak Sea difficulties are put forward, by which Russian sensibilities will be spared— makin it utKIV or else establishi ng English an d g a . fortresses l). at S . ton he fi rst i a contradiction in terms unless Sebastopol be destroye all stipulations will be evaded ; ships will be built a t Nicolaieff, without any one being the wiser, and some fine day we shall find the harbour of Sebastopol crowded as formerly, with men of war. The second involves a perpetual expense to England and France, and will be regarded by Turkey as the first step towards partition. Now let it be understood that we do not believe the Allied powers base enough to attempt any such thing, at least for selfish purposes, but appearances should b e regarded ; an d th e T ur k s have already begun to remark that their two formidable allies have each taken a line of coast—France has Constantinople and Gallipoli, on the European shores ; England, Scutari, Abydos, and Smyrna, in Asia. Let us only add Sinope, and let the French fortify Bourgas, and you will find it hard to per. suade the Turk, who sees facts, like his Asiatic brethren —that a plan has not been contrived between us to divide the dominions of the Sultan. By such means are suspi cions roused, and the isolated position of Omer Pacba is not calculated to allay them, when considered in connec tion with the Austrian occupation. These, however, are but a few of the complications in which our half-hearted and totally indirect policy is likely to involve us—unless we take the government of the country out of the hands of the reckless charlatan who at present bears a sway obtained by the meanest chicanery and intrigue. Lord Palmerston's friends are putting it about that in July next it is his intention to dissolve Parlia ment, on the cry of the restoration of Poland. Whether this is likely to be a successful move, as far as strengthen. ing his own hold upon power, remains to be proved. One thing is certain, that, successful or not, the move is utterly false and insincere, as far as good-will to the Poles is concerned ; and we think we can enlighten our readers on the real meaning of this most nefarious dodge. Tne assertion that the Premier intends this daring coup, as we said above, does not come from us, but his friends are putting it about. Nevertheless, symptoms are not wanting that he has an eye to such a stroke of business. We all know that his new Lord of the Admiralty bas made two speeches, bold ones upon the subject, and cer. tainly has received no rebuke. Then again, convenient Phinn introduced a motion in the house upon the subject; of course he withdrew it in accordance with the " appeal of the noble lord," but the noble lord spoke ominously himself upon the subject. And again, since that time, Lord liarrowby, the connection and coadjutor of Lord Dudley Stuart upon the Polish question, has been admitted to the Cabinet. Now, we should like to know whether all these spiv twill can have influenced the tone of the Algenzeine Zeitterty, the well-known organ of the Austrian Court, in the extraordinary announcement of opinion made the other day, which in fact amounted to‘his- --that matters had now arrived at such a pass, that, as the interests of Gernany were secure, it would be well that Austria should be reconciled to Prussia, and that at all events it .fflai to he honed she would never send a single bayonet aga; s the Czar. Now we beg to be understood that we yield to no one in our feelings of - sympoihy with the Pnlii,iv-nation, and none would be more anxious to see the stain caused by its partition effaced, but we do protest against the cruelty awl wickedness of making the false advocacy of their cause an item in an intrigue for place, and still more against using the pretence as a means of forwarding the de-ign , of their great enemy, and this by the man who has twice aband;red them to Russian tyranny. We beg our readers to remember what we stated the other day, that by a series of " reirnarkable coincidences" the hostility of Lord Palmerston has invariablyadvaneed tho designs of Russi a , ; and that the schemes of that power are so wonderfully crooked and wily, that appa rent opposition is often the easiest - way of serving her. We could illustrate this by many examples , but to do so would extend this article too far. We shall, there f ire, merely recall to our readers' memories the fact that among the threats-put about by the agents of Russia IS months ago was one of re-constituting the kingdom of Poland under a Russian Prince. Now it will easily be seen that a similar threat, coming, at the present mo ment, from another quarter might work out the designs of the Czar equally well. Russia knows, and so does Lord Palmerston, that to try to revive Russian Poland woul I be as futile as an attempt to galvanise a corpse back into life. All national existence has been crushed out of those pr.vinces ; their best and bravest have perished in Siberia or the Caucasus. The sympathy of the British Premier, therefore, must he with Austrian and Prussian Poland, and such a declaration as hia friends say the noble lord is about to make could have no other effect than to compel both those countries to join Russia against the proselytisers. For two years that Lord Palmerston sat in Lord Aberdeen's Cabinet nego tiations with Austria were carried on, the practical re sults of which were to paralyse the Allies, give Russia time to organise, and at last enable her to transport her Danube armies to the Crimea. But at present if Eng land declares for Poland, Austria and Prussia will at once throw themselves into the arms of Russia.

A CORPS OF SPARTANS FOR THE CRIMEA. A prnplsition has been made to the French Go verninern by M. Petrov Demetracarakos, a Greek gentleman re,iding in Paris, to raise a corps of . from 500 to 1,000 Spartans, his countrymen, to fight against the Russians. The following is the letter addressed by him to the Minister of War " March 28. "M. Le Ministre,--Having occupied the post of ma gistrate and member of the Greek Parliament fx Sparta, I have the honour to request your Excellency the favour of an audience in order to state that according to intelligence which I have received from my native country, I am in a position to form a corps of from 500 to 1,000 Spartans to proceed to the Crimea. under the tri colour flag against the Russians, as their ancestors, the soldiers of Leonidas, fought -against the Scsthians, the countrymen f the Museovites. Permit me, M. le Ministre, to submit to your Excellency a few facts which may enable you to see . that the motives which actuate me are as noble as is the cause of civilisation, which now struggles against Russian barbarism From the time of Peter the First, Russia, pursuing bet projects of invasion in the East, always counted on tle populat'on of Spait a, which alone of ancient Greece has maintained its virtues' as was observed by the great Napoleon himself. • After having gone through man;, sufferings, this people ended, in 1769, under the guidance of my ancestor, by discovering the full extent of Musco vite treachery, and since then has sworn vengeance against Russia. Immediately after the capture of Venice, the Emperor directed his attention to that district, and he addressed the folio wing letter to my uncle, Petros Mavromichali, the reigning Prince and chief of the Spartans The French esteem that numerically small but gallant people who alone of ancient Greece has preserved its virtues—the worthy descen dants of Sparta ' who only want a more vast theatre to be as renowned as their ancestors.' Some time after writing that letter, Napoleon in his way to Egypt re quested my uncle to send to Corfu two vessels V) receive from the French General who then commanded in tilt:. lonian islands munitions of war. My uncle hastened to obey, and these two vessels which constituted the greater part of the property of my father, George Deme tracaralcos, were immediately armed and despatched to Corfu, where, after the capitulation of the French, they fell into the hands of the Russians. In this manner was neutralised the expedition which my *mole at the head. of his 10,000 Spartans bad prepared pur suant to the orders of the Emperor Napoleon to serve him at least as a diversion fir the expedition to Egypt. Since that time, M. le Ministre, our family, relying on heir faithful Spartans, have not ceased to oppose the tuseian propagandism which was actively going on in Grcec 2. "At a later period, as is known, in 1821 my uncle resigned his supreme power, and beca me a simple citizen, and surrounded by his people fought against the Turks, and won, by his heroic perseverance, and with the as sistance of European civilisation, the independence of the Greek nation, and those liberal institutions which have proved a serious obstacle to Muscovite intrigues. "You now understand, M. le Ministre, that my pre sent ad is hut.the natural consequence of the history of my family. For the Spartans I only demand arms, for they de not fight for money. My aged father will lead them on as General, and my brother, who has been in the regular army for the last 20 years, as captain, will conduct the children of Sparta against the enemy, and prove to the world that the descendants of Leonidas are not the allies of barbarians. With respect to the influence possessed havey family, or by myself per sonally, you can ample information from the Duke de Plaisance, Grand Ckancellor of the Legion of Honour, and also from the Charg6 d'Affaires of Greece. I conclude by pray ing you, M. le Ministre, to commu nicate my humble proposition to the successor and nephew of the great Napoleon, to whom I had the honour of being presented in 1851 by Prince Marrocordato, the Minister of Greece. "I have the honour to be, &c., "'Pianos DEDIETRACARAKOS." The following is the reply of the Minister a' War : " War-office, April 5, 1855. " have received the letter which you did me the honour to address to me on the 28th March, pro pbsing to form a corps of from 500 to 1,000 Spartans to take part in the military operations in the Crimea under the French flag. "Your proposition has been submitted to the Em peror, who decided that there was no occasion for fol lowing it out. "In communicating to you this decision, I cannot but thank you, for my part, for the sentiments Which have inspired your conduct.

The case . 1 with respect to them—at least so far as the allega tions which have been made relative to their mate rial condition, and the physical state of' the sick and wounded placed in them are concerned —may be regarded as complete. Witnesses of high stand: ing and unimpeachable charaCter have been exa mined upon the subject and, with the except on of Dr. Hall, all the melical officers implicated by the statements which have been made have bad the opportunity of putting before the public what ever they had to say in contradiction or extenua tion. In the way of contradiction, they, appear to have been able to bring forward remarkably little, and the allegations with regard to the insufficiency of the appliances in use for the treatment of the sick and wounded, as well as- of the disgraceful condition of the buildings themselves, must be re garded as fully established. But, iu the way of extenuation, it is only just to say that the medical officers have unquestionably advanced a good deal to which we think the public have .not given, as yet, either fair attention or due weight. We cannot, perhaps, afford - better means of measuring the amount and value of the extenuat ing circumstances than by bringing under the ob servation of our readers the organisation of the hospitals of the French, and to recall to their re collection, at the same, time, the constitution of our own. In the hospitals of the French, whether those permanent within the empire, or those tem porarily established at a seat of war, the' same principle is carried out which we have remarked upon as governing the formation of all their mili tary institutions, from the gitittd-auhy itself down to the smallest and most insignificant of the branches of service which emanate from it—viz., the principle of separating, absolutely and distinctly, civil functions of administration from military exe cutive duties. lowed to them by the privilege of unlicensed print ing. .Not so. The same persons who from the very outset of this dispute have played, unwittingly perhaps, the game of the enemy, are again helping towards the same object, now that the slightest want of perfect union between the Allies might be fatal to their cause. That men should thus con spire, even- in the open day, in the midst of their countrymen, seems incredible. It in fact, only to be ac...ounte.d for by the extreme recklessness of party spirit iu a constitutional country, and the unbri dled license of publication—both the result of that irresponsibility which seeks its own personal...ends, and ettsts upon the country the burthen of the con sequences. These are the anomalies of the consti tutional system of government ; and, if we cannot shut our eyes to their disadvantages, we must con sole ourselves with a reflection on the numberless blessings with which they are accompanied. We are now gravely told, it is in the French councils that lukewarumess and hesitation exist. Something of the kind was darkly and oracularly hinted some weeks since in a confidential organ of Opposition, but it was instantly scouted by the pub lic, as unworthy the known uprightness and clear sense of the present ruler of France. To the asto nishment, we venture - to say, of the public at large, this hap-hazard invention is now repro duced in a quarter, where, if things are sometimes lightly said, they do not lightly fall. We are now asked to believe that the French Minister for Fo reign Affairs came here prepared, on behalf of his Imperial master and.-the nation whose will he em bodies, to adopt exactly the tone, with regard to the Vienna, Conferences, which would have been the most distasteful to the British people, and. - the most injurious to the permanent interests of the Western Powers. If the Emperor Napoleon the Third has one special mark of greatness of mind—that is to say as a ruler—it is the deliberativeness with which he adopts a resolution; and the indomitable persever ance with which he carries it out. The persons who would persuade the British people that F: ante wavered in her duty to her ally, envenom that gross misrepresentation by also asserting that, on representations by the English Ministers, a change took place in the Imperial resolve. Seeing that the responsible ruler of a State can scarcely com mit a greater error than to adopt a weak and fluc tuating policy on questions of a vital nature, it is certainly ungracious thus to attribute to the Em peror of the French a weakness of mind which he never yet has exhibited at any great crisis of his career. It is, to say the least, singular that such imputations should be thrown out on the very eve of the Imperial visit ; as though those who had been compelled by public feeling to assume sack cloth and ashes, and to confess the injustice of which they had been guilty, were seekin g , by base and insidious arts, to neutralise the effect of their own admissions. _ _ The medical men in the hospitals of the French have no duties save those which attach to the care of the patients in their character as functionaries of health, and they have no responsibility beyond this, except an accountability to the Officer of Ad ministration for the medicaments and appliances of surgery furnished by the latter for the occasions of the hospital. The surgeons are not used either as clerks, or accountants, or inspectors, but simply for the one purpose of curing sick and wounded soldiers. Within the limits of their functions their power is absolute. Beyond it they have no power, neither have they any responsibility. Nobody— not even the highest authority—is permitted to question their orders for the provision of any ap pliance required for the treatment of their patients, or to interpose any obstacles to their execution. They are,:in all that concerns their art, independent of authority, whether military or, administrative, although, in all other relations, they are subject to the control, in hospital, of the functionaries of the corps of Military Intendants, and in the field of the Generals of Division or Colonels of R eg i men t s , as the case may be ; but while they are thus made secure and absolute within their own distinctly defined province, they are equally precluded from trenching in any degree upon the admin istrative service, and the only persons attached to this branch who are subject to their orders are the Orderlies attached to the sick wards, or to the general duties of the hospital. The entire corps attached to the civil administration, including pur veyors, clerks, and orderlies, is placed under the supreme government of the Military Intendant-in- Caief of the army, and under the immediate con trol of the officer or officers of his corps deputed by him to the command of each hospital. tinder such a system there can be none of those &nobbles be tween surgeon and purveyor—none of those re ferences to a Director-General three thousand miles off by the one, or complaints of extravagance and remonstrances about expense to a Secretary at War at home by ,the other, which have so lament ably confused and impeded the conduct of our establishments in the East. The seat of Govern ment is at the seat of war, and so absolute is it in its nature that the Intendant-in-Chief has in him self the power to punish summarily by dismissal, and even imprisonment, a negligent and culpable surgeon, or a rebellious and troublesome purveyor. Contrast such au organisation as this with our muddled establis'imonts. Look at the position of Dr. Smith under the control, more or less, of four departinents at home, subject to the military lot thori ty of•the Commander-in Chief, to the military authority of the'Aitster-Guyeral Of-ltiathic ; to the civil auti.ority'of the Board of Ordnatie6, and again to the civil authority of the S . wretary at Wai. Oa nwehesu rp d that his movements are tardy and uncertain, or that subordinates, unable to .I.certain the extent of their piiver, or ie degree of their responsibility, - are timid, confused, and hesitating I There is much in this miserable and unbusiness like constitution of our hospitals, and in the ano malous and ill-defined position of those employed in them, to account for their horrible conditi on, and much that may be fai r ly ur ged in j u stification of those connected with th e i r management aga inst whom such a storm of i n di gna tion has been directe d . And we feel this to b e strong ly the case with regard to Dr. Smith i n particular, that we are induced to give a p rom i nen t position in our im pressionto the correspondence whic h of to-day took place betwe e n th a t offi ce r and the au . hori ties at home, but whi c h, i n con sequence of its be in g put in as -a paper, instead of read in evide nce in the course of Dr. Smith'S examination, h a s not before, we believe, a pp eare d i n the iithlic news papers. That correspondence—or rather, we should say; thoie letters, for the comnunication is entirely a one-sided one—not only completely exonerates Dr. Smith from the chargel; which have been so repeatedly and so stroney urged against g, him, but show that h e p ossesse d and exhibited no common share of forethou ht saaacity, an d syst matic arrangement, and that, Cad his represente - tions met the attenti on they mer ited, a great por tion of the unneces sar y m i sery and suffering t o which our soldiers wer e ex p ose d would, even under our present defecti ve sys t em , have been avo ided. To one of these letter s th e Military Secret ar y to the Commander-in-Chi e f sen t a tardy answer after the lapse of a consid era bl e time. Of the mo st im portant he took no notice at all, and no steps whatever appear to have beau taken to carry out the suggestions contained in any of them. The public unquestionably ought to know how and why is this, and we would suggest that the first witness called by the Sebastopol Committee on their re assembling should be the Military S e cretary to the Horse Guards, and that he should be required to produce his books showing when those letters from Dr. Smith were received, and what was done upon them—whether they were commanicalad to the C o mmander•in-Chief, and if so, whether he gave any and what instructions with regard to them. What has there been in the public conduct of the Emperor Napoleon the Third to lead to the suspicion that at the eleventh hour he would recede from his engagements ? From the very outset of the dispute he took the initiative, where vigorous action was demanded. When our Ministers, acting under responsibility to Parliament, and knowing the inert state of public opinion, moved with a caution which ]ed -their motives to be misinter preted, it was the Emperor of the French who availed himself of his peculiar independence to adopt the active measures which were essential to the interests of the two nations. Why should he at the present moment shrink, when he never shrunk before ? It is quite plain that this misre presentation of the real character and object of the visit of M. Drouyn de Lhuys is but another attempt to aid that policy of peace, in other words of submission, which, from the first commence ment of the dispute with Russia, was adopted in certain quarters, and the revival of which, at the present moment, is calculated to be of service to the plenipotentiaries of the enemy, by proclaim ing to them that there is a want of perfect under standing between the Governments of Englarid and France. _ We do not quite comprehend this attempt to bolster up the reputation of Lord John Russell, and of the Premier who sent him to Vienna, at the expense of the Emperor of the French. perhaps it is supposed that Lord Palmerston's former popu larity is not yet quite exhausted—that his failure lia's'been relative only. If this be the motive of the 0-to - 44swikkowit_the true character of the Fte'neh - l\liin;ter's - recent CrirnrWill . render the f;,ilitre of that attempt only the more signal. Lord Palmerston has failed, not because he has snubbed commissariat officors, or refused to be dragooned into promoting aro ~ ant and ambitious young mem bers of Parliament into Cabinet offices, but because he has shown himself unable to cope with the great difficulty of his position. At present, the little light he has borrowed from the French Emperor, and those who from some unaccountable caprice now desire to serve him, will scarcely accomplish their object by calumniating his protector. (From the Daily News of this clay.) The internal administration of Turkey may be as corrupt and feeble as people say ; but the Divan can draw up and interpret diplomatic papers with skill at least equal to that of any Christian Cabinet. The ambiguous language in which the terms prounded by the Government of St. Petersburg, at the first Vienna Congress, for the settlement of the Oriental disputes, were expressed, deluded the Ministers of France, England, and Austria ; but the Divan de tected their subterfuges at once: And the instruc tions given by the Divan to their representative at the present Vienna Conferences are characterised by the utmost firmness and the most delicate tact. Not a single phrase occurs in them that can compromise one right of the Porte, and not a single phrase that, by indicating distrust, can give umbrage to its Ailies. The unaffected, quiet dignity of this docu ment cannot be surpassed. If the Ottoman Em pire is doomed to fall, as the admiring parasites of Russia would have us believe, it will fall with the heroic decorum of a Cesar at the base of Pompey's statue. Aali Pacha's instructions prove that the statesmen of Turkey are animated by a high and delicate sense of national dignity that oughtouhtl to command respect ; as the exploits performed by the army under Omer Pacha—notwithstanding the wretched manner in which it is officered—prove that the courage and power of endurance of the Turkish people is unabated. Though we have not hesitated to describe the grasping and lawless am bition of the Russian Government, the dissolute avarice and falsehood of its agents, and the callous tyranny of both, in the plainest words the Eng lish language affords, we have omitted no oppor tunity of doing justice to the natural high qualities of the Russian people or race. Rude though the nation be, and perverted as many of its best feel ings are, by the influence of a bad government and worse church, we can trace throughout its whole history scintillations of kindly dispositions, of daring enterprise, and of indomitable powers of endurance. Our desire for the Russians is to see them diverted from dreams of external conquest, and thrown back upon their own resources, to de velope the natural wealth of their extended empire, and work out their own emancipation from tyranny and priestcraft. If the states of Islam can be placed in safety from the aggressions of the Mus covite Government, and Poland and Finland res cued from its talons, our prayer for the Russian nation will be, esto pefpetua. And our feelings to wards Turkey are the same. Widely though its populations differ in character from the Russians, they too have many estimable qualities, which na tional independence and more frequent intercourse with peoples of the European civilisation cannot fail to develope into excellence. It could be wished that the friends as well as the foes of Turkey showed themselves penetrated with a more sincere conviction of this truth. French and English statesmen profess to be animated by a desire to defend the independence and promote the regeneration of Turkey as a nation ; but it may be doubted whether they adopt the best means to at tain these ends. Occasional assistance a nation may receive from more powerful allies, but to keep it independent, to advance it in civilisation, must in the main be its own doidg. It must be encou raged to work out its own salvation ; if it is to be allowed or obliged to remain passive while others are fighting for it, or trying to drill it into some alien form of civilisation, its case is hopeless.

They do their utmost to paralyse our military strength they sow dissension in our domestic councils—they spread temptingly before the nation discouragements of the warlike spirit, and encou ragements to peace. The cost of the struggle is ' exaggerated, its practical results depreciated, and even although a reluctant approval is given of the national feeling excited by the approaching visit of the Emperor of the French, every insidious art is used to undervalue our alliance with the nation he represents, and impede its harmonious action. There is some ingenUity in the attempt to misre present the true position of Napoleon the Third as to the great questions which are being discussed at Vienna. If the English people could once be brought to believe that France is lukewarm in the present struggle, there might be a chance of dis turbing the cordial amity now existing between the two nations, by breeding mutual suspicions and mistrusts. We have seen that one party in the State has essayed this kind of manoeuvre, and not without a certain success. Insinuations were thrown out that the E. parer of the French , was not so earnest as heretofore in hit determination to arrive at some compensatory solution of the struggle which has cost the two greatest nations of Europe so much—in men, in money, and in the stoppage of commercial and industrial progress. One effect of such manceuvres, which might have been despised , had they not been carried on iu the name of the largest minority, numerically speaking, in the House of Commons was almost immediatelyseen in the new -diplomatic arrangements, and in the counterpoise at once provided to the too manifest peaceful lean ing of the British Plenipotentiary at Vienna. We had hoped that these manceuvres would not have been repeated. The burst of national indig nation, which instantaneously followed the mere suggestion of so ignominious a conclu s i on t o the war, ought, it might have be en suppose d , to h a ve suggested to the fabricators of such dangerous dew M lag Fen 041114015 toe pt frog94 l. •to act for Turkey, scarcely condescending to ob serve the external decorum of consulting the views and wishes of their protegj. This is bad policy in more senses than one. It prevents Russia and Austria from recognising-- Turkey as a member of the great republic of nations. It depresses the spirits of the Turks, deprives them of their self respect, and effectually deadens' that principle of active self-reliance which is indispensable to the very existence of a nation. • But the dictatorial manner in which the great European 'Powers 'presume to interfere in the internal affairs of Turkey is more•miSchievous still. England is, perhaps, of all European Governments the least disposed to meddle in the cloiniestic 'con cerns of other states ; and yet England is reontinn ally interfering in the most unwarranta,ble meaner in the internal administration of Turkey.. 'Tin re is, for example, a circular addressed 'by Lord Strat ford de Redcliffo to the English Consuls in Turkey, ou the 20th °Haat November, and which we this day present to our rea:derafor the second time. A copy of it was 'transmitted to every one of these functionaries, along with copies of the firmans, in structions, and notes relating to the four measures adopted about Mal time by the Divan for the im provement of the judicial administration of the Ot toman Empire. After expatiating on the import ance of these measures, and the anxjety of the British Government to see and hon estly carried into effect, Lord HiTIVI)rd de Red cliffe thus exhorts our consular authorities in the Levant To the accomplishment of this grand objec,t I conceive that your. watchful attention, and the exercise of your influence, may be essentit.Py' t4-tlueive. The Turkish authorities, on whom, in 'the first itilitance,'deVolves , the faithful enforcement of the measure in question, have some traditional prejudices to overcome, and many ad verse interests to withstand, in the exercise of their duty. At a distance from the seat of Government, they naturally stand in need of support., admonition and en couragement ; nor in the present most intimate and cor dial state of our relations with Turkey, can ails of this kind descend on them from a better source than from you and your colleagues elsewhere—animated, as no doubt you are, by the spirit of that alliance which holds the two countries together in close co-operative union. I ought, however, to remind you that the most friendly interference in those matters which immediately concern the internal affairs of the empire, require to be conducted with prudence, and a just respect for rights of sovereign or of local jurisdiction. Your vigilance may be exer cised, your advice may be given, the language even of remonstrance may be used, without transgressing the limits of propriety ; and, in case of failure, your repre sentations to the Government at home, and also to the Embassy here, will afford hat prospect of success which, though more distant, may not on that account be of less certain effect. The issuing of such instructions by the English Minister at Constantinople was a more extreme measure of interference between the Ottoman Go vernment and its subjects than even Russia at tempted. Russia claimed only a protectorate of the Sultan's subjects of the Greek rite : Lord Strat ford do Redcliffe asserted a protectorate of the Sul tan's subjects of every race and creed. In virtue of his own self-arrogated authority, he established courts of appeal throughout the Turkish Empire, whose decrees were to be enforced with " certain effect" by the English Government or the English Embassy. Such conduct on the part of the English Government seems to warrant similar conduct on the part of every Government which has consuls in Turkey. It dethrones the Sultan, and establishes in his stead an anomalous and anarchical rule of five or six Powers, independent of each other, guided by different principles of policy. It perpetuates a state of latent antagonism or hostility among these Powers ; it subjects the inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire to Governments imperfectly acquainted with their social condition, opinions, orsentiments; it prevents the introduction of au honest and effi cient system of Government into Turkey ; it per petuates the moral abasement of the races inhabit ing the Ottoman Empire ; it converts our Levan tine consuls into spies and irresponsible prefects of a foreign Government ; it crushes that iudepen deuce, and nips in the bud that promise of future civilisation in Turkey for which our rulers pretend to be fighting. ( mm, t 1 Mor;ling dcatiLT of this by.) In the current number of the IT/cJiainster Review, there is an ahle and interesting article, under the title of " Administrative Example of the United States." The way in which public an - aits on the other sine of thb Atlantic are conducted, ix discussed in this article with much intelligence. The evening organ of the Government takeSocca &Jinn last nig'it to make it • the ground work of an exposition of its view, or, more properly speaking, of the views of the Government, as to what course the Palmerston Cabinet should adopt in the event of its being defeated in the Howe of Commons. Our contemporary is not particularly explicit in the language he employs; but, if we understand the conclusion of his ardele aright, he is of opinion that Government ought not to resign when beaten by majorities in the House of Commons. But let us hear our con'empJrary's words. " On the other hand," says the evening exponent of the views of the Palmerston Administration, " on the other hand, the responsible Executive in Eng land is liable, at any time, to be upset by a single vote of the House of Commons. While this is so, a strong Government is impossible, except at crises (they are few) which impose forbearance•on factious. Our Executive and Legislature, in our judgment, both suffer some loss of respect from a state of re lations in which a caprice of the latter is a death. Wow to the former. - Parliament has usurped om• nipotence ; but has somewhat survived the revel• (mice which attends that attribute. It has too little cohesion in its own body to exert much positive influence over the measures of any party in power ; and the merely negative effect of its action is, that no party can be in power long. We, do not quit e see that ' the administrative example of the United States' helps us to cure this growing evil ; but we should be very thankful to any example that would do so. It is the weak point of our reformed Parliamentary regimen." It may be all very well, for party purposes, for the Ministerial advocate to characterise a hostile vote, as a capricious vote, but such language is not, assuredly, in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution. If Governments were still to cling to office, after adverse votes of The House of Commons on important questions, the Con stitution would no longer, in effect, exist ; and the House of Commons would not only cease to be an efficient representative of the will of the people, but it would be an anomaly in the institu tions of the country. If Ministers might, with impunity, set at defiance the votes of the House of Commons, come to after ample discussion and due deliberation, then the question would present itself —of what utility is the House of Commons at all ? It would be No better than a mockery. If ~ he members of that house are not to have the power of turning out a Ministry which is bringing disgrace on the national name, and disaster on the country, then why send them to St. Stephen's at all ? But the proposition of our evening contem porary is much too preposterous to be seriously discussed. And yet it is brought, forward with all imaginable gravity. The truth we take to be, that Ministers them selves are anticipating more than one defeat very soon after the re-assembling of the Legislature ; and, as they have no wish to resign, they have in structed their organ to prepare the public mind for their retention of office, if at all possible, by endeavouring to show that there will be nothing wrong in retaining their places after they have been defeated. But though that doctrine may be all very well for them, it will not suit the poli tical palates of the people. The latter will still prove staunch in their adherence to the good old Constitutional doctrine—that when a Ministry hasd lost the confidence of the Commons, we ar e e b n o e u e n o .. to assume that it has equally lost the confidence the country, and that, therefore, the og e y It tive left for it to adopt, is to return _ p_aelcsi of office to the Sovereign, that they T r y th b e e Vac di s charge ,Isi n tn o 6taebni no eest the hands of others more qualified f her course for them, a o r f e t h e e n d t r u u t s i t e e s d w . h i A c h l I d epvroelvvioeotuos cu 7 o r t n o m w e h n o ts m h t e v y e found that there we have supposed, w ill find, as soon a u n n d d , t r h d e witt ion P cl a a l sa m o er f sto as it is placed in a minority on some important pies_ o ti p o e n n , that there is no other course but resin, t• n ( " Fr°lr6 tkecgonfr:rile2nlgceffs !e"ral\dVollionlik".nodwasy.)anything et The Vienna them ? Certainly not the people of England, whose abt dearest interests are at stake. Nothing can exhibit the preposterous system of secret diplomacy in a more glaring light than the present position of affairs. Here we have the spectacle of what is called a self-governed people, whose honour—whose pecuniary interests —whose positien among the kingdoms of the earth—the lives of whose army—and whose very existence as a nation —are all cast on the hazard of a die —and who yet, neither by themselves nor,their represen tatives, can eieroLo the very smallest influsace on the result of the. discussions.

Our Ministry is now complete, and we may therefore, without unreasonable curiosity, begin to wish to know something of its policy. - The ,mea are already pretty well known to the country, but of the measures we know nothing, except so much as is comprised in those convenient and elastic phrases—the " vigorous prosecution of the war," and "a just and honourable peace." Probably no set of gentlemen ever established themselves in the Government of this country affording to the ex ternal world less information as to their views, their projects, and their principles. In this dearth of knowledge we seek for instruction in the struc ture of the Government itself; but that affords us little light beyond what is to be gained from a few pages of the " Peerage and Baronetage," and a careful study of the affinities and consanguinities therein disclosed. The structure of the Govern ment rests mainly on a principle embodied in the homely adage, that blood is thicker than water, and one's own barn nearer than one's neighbour's house ; but, beyond this fact, the composition of our Ministry tellS us nothing,'and we are left to divine, as best we may, on what terms the select circle now in possession of power will Condescend to dispose of the votes of the plebeian portion of the Liberal party, and the destinies of a grateful and admiring people. In this dearth of knowledge the eps'edhes of even the 'inferior members of the Government become sujects ;of interest, and we study them in order, if possible, to gather from them some of that reflected light which their makers may be supposed to have received from the brighter luminaries of the political system. Among the most creditable appointments made by Lord Palmerston is that of Mr. Bouverie, who has fairly won his way to political promotion. This gentleman has just been returned for the Kilmarnock burghs, and has, as in duty bound, addressed his constituents on the occasion. In the course of his speech he has gone over a variety of topics, but really with so much discretion that it is extremely difficult to extract from them either an opinion or a revelation. He contrasts the present state of things with that which prevailed during the last election, under the Government of Lord Derby, and confesses that in every respect, except the con stitution of the Government, the state of our affairs was better then than it is now. One may be sur prised that a member of the Government, who might be supposed to have some leaning in favour of the existing state of things, should lead off with such an announcement, more especially as we are not quite sure that on the single point in which he prefers the present state of things to that in 1852, —the possession of office by a purely Whig Govern ment7-everybody in the country will be disposed to agree with him. We have, indeed, got rid of Protection, but a glance at the names of our pre sent Ministry will show that we are not wholly emancipated from some species of monopoly. Passing over some not very novel observations on the texts that the maintenance of the balarice of power really means the right and duty of self-de fence ; that money may be won back, but that human life cannot; and that our soldiers have shown no less heroism amid the lingering tortures of the camp than among the thunders of the battle field, we come to some observations more impor tan3, because showing more clearly the point of view from which the last-chosen associates of Lord Palmerston are disposed to regard the calamities our army has sustained, and the kind of excuse that is to be offered for them. "An army," says Mr. Bouverie, "is a complicated machine, and we have not had that machinery at work since the war of the French Revolution. Wo had to put it in action at once, and until we tried we did not know where the weak parts lay. We did not !snow whether it wotill break down or whether it would work ' • that is the source of the disasters which have happened to our brave army in the East." This excuse may be very satisfactory to the mind of our newly-appointed ;Minister, but we greatly doubt whether it will be equally ;onvineing to the great public of this country. NU are in the habit—that is, we, the great Wilk of the people of 'this country—of dealing with very complicated machines, arid, instead of acing ignorant of how they will work, can predict their movements with the most confident and un- Tring precision. Suppose a railway esig,ineer in licied For manslaughter, who should have nothing bet er to urge in his defence than that a railway lo motive is a very complicated machine, and thab, ill lie tried, he really could not tell what it wo.ild. 1 ! Besides., it is nut to (let! wit:i easy and sim ple, but with cJinplicited and ditlinitt matters ' that we employ public men ; and to confess that they cannot do this is, to confess that they are unlit oar their office. Moreover, the army has not broken down, complicated as it is. It ;ids, on the whole, discharged its duty most nobly. The weak parts have been the departments ministering to the trmy, and these have broken down from causes .)erfectly obvious,' even without trial, and certain :o manifest themselves to any observer of the ;lightest sagacity. Thera needed no;experiense to teach anybut men on whom all experience is thrown sway, from their inability to profit by it, that a transport service conducted on the principle of putting anything anywhere, without invoices, with out inspectors, beac h-masters, lighters, wharves, itores, or depots, could only end in one way—that is, in ruinous disorder and confusion. There needed 110 experience to show that a hospital service con ,tiou c s t t e o d p o t tt h thee proceedings principle of f f giving every one power his neighbour, and pre venting him from, doing. anything himself, could teVer minister efficiently to the wants of the sick Ind dying ; or that a Commissariat fettered within Lhe narrow limits of routine, and deprived of tiniest every necessary power, could not effectually teed or provide transport for an army. The luratiou of human life, and the prised at which the faculties decay, were known before the expedi tion to the Crimea, and it needed not the expe rience of the last six months to teach us that aged generals are apt to be deficient in enter prise, and to cling with tenacity to a single idea, even when altered circumstances most impe riously urge its abandonment. There may be an excuse for our recent calamities, but that excuse is surely'not to be found in their being impervious to human vision, and such as only practical expe rience could teach us. The only other topic upon wh ich Mr. Bouverie ventures to touch is the very safe one of the News paper Stamp. Into the difficulties of this matter he does not descend, but contents himself with merely arguing against the continuance of a com pulsory law. That no one who does not wish it shall be henceforth compelled to take out a stamp was settled by the vote of the House. of Commons the other night, but we should have been glad to hear an opinion from the Vice-President of the Board of Trade on the part of the measure which yet remains to be debated. Is he, an advocate, as he tells us, and, we doubt not, with the utmost sincerity, for the doctrines of free trade, prepared to sanction the anomaly of taxing a newspaper on its passage through the post, because it contains more matter for the same price than its rivals? Is there to be free trade for everybody but the Times, and for us alone a system of differential duties, graduated so as to strike with the greatest force the article which is sold the cheapest 7 On these points we gain no information. -What is already gone Mr. Bouverie is willing to concede, and we doubt not that, if a majority of the House of Commons shall settle the question in our favour, he will on the next occasion inform his constituents that he is willing to concede that also: (From the Morning Post of this day.) Baron Von Muffling, in his interesting memo randa upon the events and characteristics of thelast great continental war, says that the thing for which the army of the Duke of Wellington was remark able above all other armies which had ever come under his observation, was the distinctness with which the duties of every person attached to its administration were defined, the perfectness with which they were known and recognised, and the activity and promptness with which they were dis charged. The army of Lord Raglan has, unhap pily, made itself remarkable for the exhibition of phenomena the very opposite of those enumerated by the able German officer as distinctive of the British forces in 1813. Of the degree in which this contrast is to be attributed to a defective sys tem, or of the proportion in which it has b een the result of want of capacity in functionaries charged with the government of the army and its depart ments, we are not yet in a position conclusively to form a judgment, nor would it be just to individuals to attempt it till the further pro g ress of the inquiry , delegated to the Sebastopol Committee has fur nished us with more materials than we as yet pos sess ; and we have refrained, and we shall continue for the present to refrain, from any attempt to fix blame absolutely upon any particular authority by s,ny enunciation of opinion with regard to the prima facie case which has been published.
