DROTTYN' DE i'HITYS was, almost - as a matter of course, the signal for farther procrastination. Prince GORTSCHATC6PF requiratfresh instructions from his Imperial Master, which could - not arrive before the 10th inst., and accordingly the meet ing of Diplomatists has been adjourned until that day, when it is to be hoped that something decisive may ., take place. It indeed; time that the solemn - farce . should be brought to -a conclusion that, the Russian Plenipotentiary should be in vested with ample powers to arrange the terms on which g ar dpfinite, treaty ,Ixiay ,14e c.ncluded, and that without further equivocation he will explain 4iSreal,intentions. We believe that, if possible, s the distinguished representative' of France will bring dim to point -7-but nothing. save the most energetic course , -• cats do. so. There must , be" . an,, couched in language so elear -and: unmistakeable, • that raw qni iblTng disputes, or *ained' iiiterpre tatiouccan he put .forward . at any future time.

They may be altogether opposed to diplomatic humbug; and may cause pert officials to -stand aghast with real horror. But it is time -to discard conventional rules, when they are opposed to the national interests. Too many sacrifices have already been offered up. on, the altar of "red tapism." We may learn from the example af forded by Prince MrscniKoiry at Constantinople, -in 1853, how Russian diplomatists would act under circumstances similar to those in which -Lord JORN RUSSELL and M. DEOUYV DE L'HUYS are now 'placed ; and on such a point we may condescend to receive a salutary lesson from the adversary. Russia will not give away a single point. She will make no concession so long as there is the slightest chance of obtaining better terms. She will cavil and dispute about "the ninth part ,of a hair's-breadth," if, by doing so, she can reap any profit, however trivial ; and, as we have repeatedly pointed out, she is troubled with no scruples respecting her character for honesty or consistency. She possesses an im mense advantage in the wordy strife, being ready at an y moment to shift her position and to take advantage of any contingencies arising during the negotiations. From the male fides already displayed, we may learn how vain would be the hope, how futile the reliance placed on the strict observance of any verbal pledges on her part. We have seen the many shiftiug3 and evasions already resorted to on every possible occasion, and how can we hope . tint the leopard will suddenly become immacu 14te--that the negro will cast his skin ? The late A UTOCRAT . , showed ho w indis p ensable he con • amered ~,Mate rial guarantees," and we may re speet his what he wa me a mory for teaching us the word ; but fused to ~ s° ready to demand he totally re . our Islam.

CZAL . Austria, solemnly pledged to the Western Powers, still pays compliments to the adversary against whom; if the slightest credence be attached to ber professions, she iP speedily about to assume arms. She also moves heaven and earth to alllow him to retain the means of offebee to preserve intact " the standing menace to Europe," under which she herself quails, 1 and in cOnsequence whereof she dares not speak to her dangerous neighbour, save " with bated breadth and deep humility." Would Austria thus degrade herself if Sebastopol were razed to the earth t Most decidedly not. She would no longer be the fawning and obedient lacquey, the ready instrument to carry out the behests of the Northern Despot. Then she would exhibit some degree of independence, and woull dare to speak ' and act for herself. Prussia, too; is testifying her unbounded devo tion. to Jill new Autocrat. Her ingenuity is taxed to the utmost to do him honour. Chosen regiments are named after hie deceased father_ to preserve - his 'memory to 'all" future generations.'

The retrospective -glance ' recently. taken by us at these remarkable occurrences of' 1854-5 was preceded , it will be remembered; Eby. a rapid summary of the -relative situations in regard to eaclynther of the different States of the' European Continent. In this par ticular it should be especially recollected that, while Russia. .laas been strenuously opposed by Tarlfs,j,.ancl while Turkey has been no less stren uously supported, is this opposition to Russia by France and England, the remaining great Powers • have occupied very contrasting positions indeed-- some maintaining' a timorous neutrality, while some,. again, on the contrary, have evinced, more or less crpenly; a sympathy for the cause of one or .other o 4 the belligerents, Greece, for example, betrayed her complicity with the CZAR by a rebellions nein, only to be repressed by the appearance of certain squadrons' Off the Piraeus, and the marching of certain troops from the Piraeus td the Acropolis. Sardinia has since then nianifeSteA a totally different feeling in re ference to the course pursued by the AUTOCRAT, . by valiantly placing at the disposal of the Allies a very powerful and opportunely-contributed con tingent 4ititiia, instead of chivalrously enter ing upon any decided path like thatichosen for themseliii'v the lesser States of Genoa and Sar l-diniai has, by playing fast , and :loose, to the very end of the chapter, been consistent even in the midst of her apparent inconsistencies.. Prussia all the white Snecesiftilly 'carrying out her own paltry .designs by the seemingly impracticable means of nototieusly unsuccessful negotiations. , it has throughai}t, moreover, been. anxiously :expected by every - More sanguine observer of these 'proceed ing that Naples . and, . Tuscany might imitate the deeisioMat t elyarriyed at by the Court . of Turin; and so far emulate the policy of the - Piedmontese -Cabinet , as to-avow. their sympathy for the cause - of the Western Allies in ,the, tardy, indirect po sition presumed to 'have been very recently' re solved npori for adiiptiOn by Spain and 'Portugal. Whereai,, • strange to tell,-neither Belgium nor Pranoyei - ; , bciund — t to an active co-operation with : this country—we might not unreasonably have -e'cinjectured, if only because of -the generally effectual bonds of dynastic association, 'have ex tricated thernselVesfrom, the paralysing influence exercised by tte . insinceriti of Austria, and to the obstinacy of Pruisia over the whole political con geries of the Ger Manic ASsociation. Considerably greater probabilities of an ultimate rupture with the autocracy :of St. Petersburg being manifested, in truth, :by Sweden and Denmark, if any degree of reliance can ; be placed in the information de rived at - intervals - in:intStockholm and Copenhagen. Such,. we here take occasion to repeat, has been the actual situation in regard to each other, _dur ing the past year of warfare on the .banks of the Danube,' and along' the coast of the Crimea, of the principal aaiong the great'European nation alities. Meantime, as already observed, there have been events of enormous importance taking place contemporaneously in various remote parts both of the eastern and western hemispheres. Recently we have particularised several among the more remarkable of these political occurrences in the last mentioned, namely, in the western hemisphere. We have enumerated in this manner —the continuance of the civil war in Mexico ; the outbreak of revolution in Peru ; t h e agitation of new and sinister designs in Calif ornia, With a view- to its organisation as an independent democracy ; the revival at Washington of divers nefarious schemes in the way of territorial spoliation, to the end that the United Stites might absorb Cuba, for example, as well as Senora and the Sandwich Islands, among the rest of its gigantic annexations. Added to all which, a recollection has riot been lost of yet more distant incidents of a scarcely less arresting significance, incidents such as that sudden outbreak at Ballarat, from which some notion may be gleaned as to the nature of our imperial tenure upon the loyalty of our far-off colonists in itu4ratasia., A reference may subsequently be adventured npfni, we cannot but think not altogether injudi ciously, as . to the political- events of more than ordinary magnitude which have been simulta neauslytaking place elsewhere than on the shores Of the Euxine, or even within the ample 'bounda rie‘Pf t' .., ' e i r o , i n numerous scattered quarters of trtnd, si tle . the e RC I Worl d , the o si r a , it clads 'o f c b: Lum b u e u en s, distinctively this :eastern Ile'llisPl*o- :it , will theref ore b e p erce i ve d,! ra pidly (.311ou l ''' 136 ' 1d. ;(I°"t, tit occurrences of im porta,nce 'have not been restricted to the resolute defenders of, Sebastopol 'o , r . the heroi;c assail- 1 i ants of that great fortress from- the dir4ction of 1 Kamiesh or of Balaklava.

Drouyn. de .to the rppreseit 'tu,;:ives of France ,at . thy; various German Courts. It Lidars date the 27. th. of-March :-- " Sir'=-The journals have given tbetext of a despatch from the Baron de Maritenffel, addressed on the2d of the present month to Count Hatzfeldt.. Though I do not impute to the Cabinet of Berlin the publication of this document through 'the press, it seems tome indispensable that I should repro duce with more force the opinion I have already expressed on its contents to, the Prussian *Mister.: " What I with first to COntestiOlie doctrineaccOrding to w hich it will be forbidden to FOreign'PeAvers to take notice of the internal deliberatiohis cif the Frankfort Diet. Ask long as those deliberations have no object but German inteielts; France, fnain the 'respect it' bears to'the independence of Germany, will have neither advice to give 'nor action to exercise; but evidently , it cannot be lo circum stances of a nature to .affect the relations she is bent . on entertaining with Prussia and Austria. A frank and fore seeing diplomacy holds it a first duty to be infOrmed of such dispositions as it may haye one day to second or - oppose. Its part is not to react against accomplished or decided facts. It consists iather in preventing, by , vigilance and frankness, such incidents as, having occurred, would. draw afar them vexatious consequences. It can not, then, be doubted that'the attitude of M. de Bismark, in the sitting of the 22d of February, would legitimately challenge our attention, since - it was at. the same time sde-. netinced as dangerous by the Cabinet of Vienna, doubtless as jealous as the Cabinet of Berlin for the dignity of that Con,-. federation raver which it presides. pointing „out, on, our own part, a tendency that seemed to us hostile, and one which the Baron de Manteuffel has disafowed, we' only desired to arrest j. 4 its origin .a conflict not less Con trary to the declarations of Prussia than to our own it!- tentions in her respect. ".I regret, then, sir, that the des - patch addressed to Count •flatzfeldt has changed the field of debate, and placed• she under the obligation of verifying the solidity of the ground on which we are now called to discuss. It would be in my Opinion singularly to lessen the importance of the Diet and the States coreposingit to maintain, when an opinion advanced at Frankfort has been ze-echoed sufficiently to be heard beyond the circle of Federal deliberation, that no Foreign Power has any cause for taking it into considera tiont and, if there be .eceasion, for reasoning on it . with , the 'Cabinet from whose representative it emanated, . I ac-' cept, I repeat, no such doctrine;and I desired the Marquis db Monstier to say so to Baron de Manteuffel. "Neither can I admit, vagueimputatione of ill-will to wards Prussia to be thrown on the Emperor's agents abroad. If-we have complained, we have stated precise facts—we have quoted names. We have not acted in, altpirit ()treed-, mination, but in a spirit of confidence and concord.l . We have attributed to the Prussian Government the sentiments with which we ourselves ore animated/ and have franklY pointed out to it, in the attitude and language of one; Of its principal organs, what appeared to as to denote dispolitions' unfavonrabre to the suchess of the negotiations then opened betVWen the two Cabinets:' We very naturally recognise in Prusiib the-right- we have( used. tcrwards, keil; • and shall hot refuse, en my sido / any .explanations Baron de•Manteuffel can hare to demand from me. But I confess what has most surprised ine in the desPatch I am examining/ is+ the regret expressed at the want of a paper that, by establishing, in an ohligatary manner, the identity of the political views of Irruisia and France; would put an end to the divergencies o:their respectiv e legations.'Bir, I have long said th h e i,v i ej am u e ge th ye in d g t . 6 b O ri u n r g si a n bo ci u re t s t t h a e n r d ea m n tlpi'leard fsoerevesrieen.go ; e i ti. n °i d t t ' be Baron de Mantemffel would have be n only just if he had made use of language less impreguat with bitterness 'when' alluding to ourotteasirea for obtai ng, in the interest of European order, the adhesion of Prullsia to the treaty of the 2d December., " For - its own part, the Emperor's Governme t feels it se lf honoured in having done everything to faCilit to the accession of the Cabinet of Berlin to' the alliance of the Western.

STATE . OF TRADE (Front the 41 1 3,44e5ter Ql4ar.:4lwb of J.) MA:WREST:Cit. April s.—The improving tendency of business has become increasingly apparent since Tuesday in a more ge,aoral dispositiou to buy yarns and goods ,and a growing hardness among sellers in regard to prices. The continental houses, having been enabled, .by what.was going here, to make pretty good progress in selling to their customers, are - continning their purcases of yarns ; there appears also tin -be some business doing for China ; and a small fraction (say ad. per lb.) is now clearly added to the quotations of last week for water twist, all counts of which, from 30's. down to the lowest, share in the improvement. Bp.ADFORD, April i .—Wool : There is an improved sup ply of bright-haired wools, and the spinners ara iu better stock, consequently less eager to buy, as the prices sought are 'too high for the trade. The supply of deep-grown wether sorts and hog matchings is yet limited, but t is g reatly relieved by the quantity of skin wool on the riak ket, which is of unusually good length, the long-contimied winter having prevented the fat sheep being clipped. In Down and half-bred wools the demand is rather improved, and the diiivnward-tendency temporarily ;hocked. Yarns : ' There is. rather mare doing in a:1 kinds. of spool yarns. Pieces :. There continues to be-more doing in goods, and prders are being given 'out. LFCEOII, April s.—Another flat week, sca r c e ly May 4ing doing in the warehouses and no buyers visiting our market. Greatdistress prevails am ongs t every isra#ch of ear operatives. Worsted spinners produce . cautiously and priceiTeMain unaltered. Wools are springy.

In order to mask the construction of these ad vanced workS, 'a great cavalry demonstration took Rlace yesterday. At daybreak five regimental of cavalry, with two batteries of horse artillery and a large, force of infantry, leftthe town. - , • The infantry, which _had to furnish the working parties, and at - the same-tithe to serve as support to the cavalry, in case the Russians should be in supe rior force r , took up its' position close to the town, While the cavalry, proceeding towards the first mound in the centre, on which the Turkish videttes had hitherto been placed,' formed,under the lee of the ridge. . Two . reginients, throwing out their skirmishers, occupied.. the first line, , a . battery of horse artillery in, the centre .between :them, The second line, outflanking .a little the first, was • formed by ' two other regiments in columnS of squadrons, with three guns 'in front of each. The remaining regi- Ment formed the , reserve., While the' Tartars were thrown "out on both fianks'as Skirmishers. r• In this order of b4ttle the 'cavalry pasSed the first mounds. The Weather' which during the last two days had been . fin's!, lied changed, and , *as . threatening' with wind and nu n. , Th e Russian videttes, seeing the Turkish cavalry, began sloi,vly to retire ; horsemen wer,e / seiiti., off in every direc tion,. and. the reserves. came.galloping up. In the beginning 'nothing more than the usual four squadrons of Ru4sians were seen—the stpiad ron of Lancers, on their bladk horses, coming up from the 'bridge which leads- over the 'creek, two squadrons of dragoons, with their White Cro,shelts over their great-coats; and .one SqUadion on white horses, verydikely the Hussars, which were seen .at other tithes. This force, Seeing the advance of the . Turks, drew off slowly tci thy right towards the nil .lage.pf Nagai, situated oa-a, slope close to the creek,. while a long_ line of Cossack skirmishers extended in the direction of Oraz, guarding the 'right flank of the Russians. The Tnrks'followed from ridge to ridge, from mound to= mound, - down towards the gully, on' the other side of Which' the. Russians halted on an advantageohs slope, as if deeided to dispute the passage: - Their intention was Clear - enough—they wanted to draW the Turks to the right, entice them to at tack the few sqUadrons on the slope, an d thu s Out flank their lett, and roll up their line, Indeed, .eight :squadrons and a whole .battery (12 guns) of Russians had already outflanked the Turkish left, for the Turks in descending towards the creek could not see the high ground to the left.. As soon' as the movement of the enemy became appareot the order was given to draw j back slowly ' but be-- fore this took place gunk were advanc e d and'opened fire.on the Russian cavalry on the opposite side of .the gully, while the skirmishers on both . sides were firing harmless carbine, shots at, each other. The distance was, however ; -too_ great,. and the rising ground on ie other side unfavourable to ricochet shots, so the guns were withdrawn after a few rounds, which dismounted a couple of Cossacks. The opening of thefire of the guns had neverthe less the effect of dro.w4ig the forces of' the enemy which threatened to outflank the Turkish left more to the right. , Up to tbiS time (about 8 o'clock in the morning) the cavalry expedition was commanded by the General of Brigade. Tsherkess Ali Pasha, who had attached to him, as -Chef d'etat • Major, Murad Effendi (Major Wierzbicky). 'But just as the Turkish cavalry retired to -the next ridge in the rear of the position it had occupied Omer Pasha himself came up. innediately ordered one regiment of cavalry and 'three howitzers to ga to the extreme right towards the bridge leading over the ereek; lik‘this time the Russian cavalry on our right lank had increased.to 12 squadrons and 12 pieces of artillery, which were seen coming up in a gal lop, when the Turkish guns first opened. When the. Turkish detachment ordered towards the 'bridge came up they- had taken up , theirposition ; they . did' not only :net hide their strength, but 'Made Tither a , display • of' it,, which showed that they had no intention - to - attack,. but were only de termined to dispute the passage. Thus, when the three howitzers opened and sent some well-aimed Shells arming, two_ squadrons.-.which formed the Russian advanced guard, they .did . not, reply at first ; hut only mlien:tliefire-became too annoying they. brought up 12 -guns and fired' one or two rounds, which, however, -did -no harm. As the -Turks had likewise no intention to attack, both parties kept their 'position.. Omer Pasha, after having ordered up atibtherregiment; - as reserve.to the first, in case the - Riisians should attack, went back towards the works, which had in the mean time begun in tile - centre.' When - the Russians saw .the Turkish centre and left,retire more towards the town, their skirmishers came up again," and up to the evening shotd were exchanged at 200 yards' distance,' which, however, as usual,-hurt neither party. In the afternoon both parties dismounted, fed their horses, and made preparations to pass the night where they 'were.- While this was going on in advance, the new redoubts were traced and commenced under the directions of Colonel Symmons. They were con tinned without interruption during the whole night, which proved very fine.. There was some appre hension that near the ridge the ground might be rocky, and thus offer considerable difficulties, but it was not the case. the night passed cfuietly, without the, slightest alarni. • About 9 o'clock this' morning two squadrons of Russian cavalry antl'SiX guns advanced towards the bridge which forms on the extreme right of the Turkish position the only means of communization with the other side of the creek. Sefer Pasha, who commanded on that 'flank, did not oppose them, and soon after two of the guns with a platoon of cavalry were over the bridge and opened fire on the Turks. The four others and the rest of the cavalry followed, and the whole drew unmolested towards Nagai and joined the RUisian fOrces on thiis side of the gully. The rest of the, day passed, quietly. The works were . proceeding rapidly, so that to morrow they will most likely be finished. • The Lynx gun-boat had yesterday a slight acci dent. In going along the coast to the west she struck a Sandbank and stuck. The Valorous got her off. This afternoon a column of black smoke was seen suddenly arising from the wreck of the vessel Her Majesty. It soon changed into a bright flame, and attacked first the foremast and then the whole deck. How the fire happened I cannot tell ; but I beard that the intention was to blow up the decks, and then take the timber. Perhaps some accident occurred ; at any rate the vessel will burn down to the water's edge. RUSSIA. We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 30th of March.

"The musketry soon ceased; 'the enemy brought all the guns of their nearest batteries to play upon the redoubt.

" Colonel Bialy then withdrew his battalions, and took up a position in front of the ambuscades. The enemy'S fire ceased; and was not renewed during the night. "The Allies were firmly resolved to take our redoubt at all cost. According to the statement of prisoners the number of the enemy's troops engaged on thisoccasion was about 12,000. To judge by the obstinacy 'of" the 'struggle the loss of the enemy must have been very considerable. Near the redoubt alone they left 50 Milled. We took prisoners 1 subaltern and _9 men. " On our side we had 15 men killed, 1 subaltern, and 87 men wounded." " In his diary of military operations sent with these re ports General Osten•Sacken mentions, among others, a very happy sortie made on the night of the 3d (Mb) March by 70 volunteers - under Majdr Rondanoysky. Dividing his detachment-into three columns, he attacked the trenches occupied by the French, and in face of a very severe cross fire he drove them out of them with, great loss. " When reinforcements of the enemy came up, Major Rondanovsky sounded a retreat, which he executed in per fect order under a fire of grape from the besiegers. "In this affair we had 13 men killed and 57 wounded. We took 9 prisoners." We have received the St. Petersburg journals of tha•2Bth• and 29th of March.
