No sooner had they taken' their places than Mr. S. Herbert inquired of Lord Palmerston whether all. hopes of peace between Uussia and the Allies, through the intervention of Austria, were at an end. The noble Premier replied : By no means. Thereupcn up rose Mr. Gladstone, and adjured bis right honourable friend Mr. Milner Gibson to postpone his motion, asserting that the terms propounded by Russia at the Vienna Conferences for the settlement of the third point, ought to have been accepted. This brought Mr. Sidney Herbert-on his legs again, to declare that if Mr. Gib son persisted in his motion he would move the previous question. The Right Honourable ex-Secretary at War was followed by Lord Harry Vane, who .had undertaken to se cond the motion, and who urged his principal to yield to the appeals addressed to him. Thou followed some further Mi nisterial declarations, to the effect that the • motion, if per sisted in at the time, would materially embarrass the,negotia tions which are not in pr o g ress a t Vienna. Mr. M il ner Gib son was all compliance. M r . B right did not appear qu it e certain what to think of the p ar t takpa in these interpella tions by his right honourable Uobra. He would rather have the motion perseve re d i n ; b ut he was in favour o f any proceedings that would en sure peace at any price ; h e wou ld support Mr. Gibson if he went on with his motion, and would not oltject to that gentleman's withdrawing. it. So the mo tion was p9stponed till after the Whitsun holidays—that is, ad. Gnecas lialendas. Mr. Sidney Herbert took care to interpose a protest that he was entirely ignorant of the course the right honoUrable member for Manchester was likely to take in consequence of the appeal made to him by Mr. GlaNtoue. Of course, Mr Gladstone had told Mr. Sidney Herbert nothing of his secret communings with Mr. Milner Gibson—political colleagues often find it convenient not to tell each other, in express words, what 13 , th know quite well. In like manner, Mr. Milner Gibson is to be presumed to have been quire unfore warned of the question to be put to Lord Palmerston by Mr. Sidney Herbert, and the appeal to he made to himself by Mr. Gladstone. And all the three wero-innttsr ignorance of what Lord Palmerston would say in reply to Mir. 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 face of a conniving House of Commons. The obvious thimblerigging of the " Peace-at-any-price" faction, of the Aherdeenites, and Mi nisters, was last night palpable to the dullest understanding. The Aberdeenif es sought to back out of the scrape, fearing the public indig' ation that would be roused against them if they supported the disgraceful motion of Mr. B:ight's caudal -appendage ; Mr. Milner Gibson had no inclination to make himself a laughing-stock by dividing without tie support of the Aberdeenites ; and both parties bad a pretty 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 feeling for the na tional honour, no power of comprehending the 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 aflitirs ; for the people are indignant and'alarmed, unaccustomed to act for themselves, and basely deserted by all the leaders in whom they have been disposed to place confidence. The expedition to Kerteh has returned to Balaklava without even attempting to land. The Premier tells us that he is open to receive furthc , r 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 pushdd beyond all reasonable bounds. And the 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 np of the war which the three parties to last night's con spiracy against its honour and interests contemplate : bat we have ere now seek 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 meetin , s 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 the 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 Administration some explanations of the policy upon which the foreign affairs of England aro 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 determined. Rumours of a division 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 he reached England. Even last night, impelled by the remonstrances of speakers on both sides of the house, he only gave us a history of the conferences ; he said nothing of his own feelings ;he talked of his instructions. The member for London is not generally overburdened with discretion ; and his reserve in this matter is, to say the least of it, ' re- markable. But we have not done with Mr. Milner Gibson yet. He 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 Pose of this day.) The House of Commons and the country had an escape last night. A somewhat angry dis3ussion;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'g proposed resolutions, weak as the resolutions were, would leave 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 bold Lord Malmesbury superior. to Lord Clarendon—or if it have a fancy to try conclusions with 3,1 r. Layard, or with any of the volunteers of the R dministrative Reform .Associa tion, let it by all means says so, break with the present Go vernment, put in the new one, and let us 830 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.) m be a g n i y nn w in h g o , d o i r d before beginning, a t t h i e t s h o I t t s' was ofp v e r : t y zheas e : l clear from ca re mpaigns was to go to war.

It would now appear that the war party imagined we could shift from peace to war, pleased ; th a a r t , i w d asonly anPe peace, often of par parade as o or of c u k n l i y f oarsm; we and that general actions admitted of as much prearrangement as a revie w on Woolwich-common. The fact is so unlike everything they sup posed that they think Cloy 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, is, however, no stopping the ship so long as the storm l asts, unless we stop it by running ashore or going to the b o tt om. We can, if we please, send word to the Emperor, quarrels rfr;osels, as the Emperor, our ally, to say that we have thought b e tt er of it, that we are wiser than last year, and beg to be per m itt e d to withdraw. This, however, is so very unlike what w e h ave ao unlike hitherto s schoolboys,ee n in any class who of a Englishmen,lwaya figfight 0 n old or ho young oul a g r long as they can stand ; it 14 so unlike our artisans, who, when they have once "struck" for better terms, hold out till they are fairly starved into submission, that we can hardly believe it to be the same class that cried so loud last year 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 she 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 processions of mothers and wives in the shape of amiable plenipotentiaries to agree to any terms be 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 few millions, in these two little islands, to affect to govern about one-eighth, or one-seventh, of the whole human race,—to hold a sort of supremacy on the sea, and to maintain a fore most place iu the nations of Europe ? There is an immense arrogance, not to say impudence, in these pretensions, unless we 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 aro 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 groat impostor found out, and universally exe crated and despised in proportion to the terror and respect we have hitherto imposed. It, so happens that we 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, bolding the posi tion, keeping the strong house, and able to sh u t out all the world besides. Wh en t wo 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 of Tie- MR. MILNER GIBSON'S MOTION. (From the Times of this day. ) The high -wrought expectations of the distinguished au dience which assembled in the House of Commons yesterday evening to listen to the debate on Mr. Milner Gibson'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 persons used to such things saw clearly that the match would not 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 warlike 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 regar I 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, Lord 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 agreement, questing about for expedients to unite the incompatible views of Russia and the Western Powers.- .When the required expedients were found, it. - 4 tc - be communicated to England and France, and upon' their approval of this possible future expedient the Congress could be reassembled. Here was just that species 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 anal substantial fulcrum for the intellectual lever, Mr. Gladstone's work was soon done ; and we doubt not that he would have persuaded Mr. Giheon to postpone his motion even if Mr Herbert had not aided him by the threat of moving " the previous question s " 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 sufficiently grateful. He preoccupied the ground, and, after having prevented other members from bringing the subject forward, postponed his motion just at the time when it was impossible to give notice of another before Whitsun tide, and thus 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 keptup as long as required, especially if by so doing the disagreeable necessity of explanation in a popular assembly 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 eningh to the crucible of di plomatic chemistry. The establisfiment of such a principle is very convenient to a Ministry whose dissensions on peace and war render a discussionon thesubject 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 popularassembly, 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- I cussion of peace and war, iu 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 :it Vienna on terms the very proposition of which is an insult to the spirit and magnanimity of the nation. They see 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 House 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 net, 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 they met to consider should be persevered with. They have been tricked by their own forms. The issue that was raised by Mr. Gibson would have been presented to the house in innumerable shapes, bad there not been a feeling that the question was sufficiently raised by his resolutions, and that there was no reason to doubt he would fairly redeem the im plied pledge to bring them on which he gave by placing them on the paper. It remains to be seen whether the house will submit to be the victim of this dexterous piece of acting, or 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 iu 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. --- (From 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 1" and a burst of cheers marked the instant appreciation of the remark by the House of Com mons. Well might the right honourable gentleman charac terise the request made to Mr. Milner Gibson, that be 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 people of 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 reluctanee 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 bad 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 have 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 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. Ho 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 1 He did not wish to shrink from discussion, but he deprecated it as injurious to the public interests ! And now ho " 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 hue for the last few days been colloguing at all out-of--the-way fsov t ou o ifirb i t • t y slica t in.l l i : lzy e ceo s o, e e oin.ll p iinie e .nq o gu p meem r i n e rateyesd e ,i t. x iwe p t it . Our correspondent p. t Constanti nople repeats what we have heard from many other quarters of the general expectation this . war has excited in all that part n fi e rt g arey z a n n • if e ssepe a S nodor e t o sam u n q tdi odudeeFil middle ro e atr course. bsw s eu u .et b wateyiti may i o p aab b yy e e it necessary also to keep'up our army, and to conquer with it. Weie peace now to follow upon war as rashly anti-lightly as war has followed_ up on p eace —th a t i s, were Englanl to conclude a peace on disgraceful terms—the British public would soon - open' their eyes to the unpleasant 'foot that they had lost caste in the • world. Every Englishman would begin to be ashamed of himself, and no doubt we should have people insisting upon some sunedsary way of wiping out disgrace and defeat. But this is not to be done. So no peace at present, till the of of war have been_ at tained, unless we would lose the respect of our neighbours in 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. Nov. 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 soldiers in the world, ready to u”dertake anything, and able to do it. They cannot and mast not re turn Niitllout taking Sebastopol, unless they would show us 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, the!r pride. Should his legions return with nothing to show for their campaigns but an enor tnOus bill of costs and list of killed and winded, he will have to fight a harder battle at home t an 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 een 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, if we confess our incapacity for' war. It has 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 geograp . ical re putation, and a man may as well expect to enjoy a cha racter for probity in ono 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 ,:etermi 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 Ilioniteur 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 Polissier's place as commander of a division, the public are not to believe any more of the alleged reason than they like. Au officer who is too unwell to remain at the head of an army can hardly be fit to continne on active service at all ; and, there fore, it is not unnatural to conclude that General Canrobert has received from his imperial master a hint that he could no longer be at the head of the French army before Sebastopol, but that, being a brave 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 have 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 in 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. Iu his reply to General Canrobert, the Emperor congratulates him on his desire to remain with the army (" E vous felicite du senti ment qui vous fait demander de rester a Pawnee"), and names him not merely to the command of a simple division, but to that of the corps d'armee which Pelissier has been at the head of since his arrival from Algiers. The soldier-like senti ment of General Canrobert 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. Pennefather's hands. Would that we could record a few more similar instances of devotedness to their profession on the part of English General officers since the war began. The Emperor of the French has now given a fresh proof of his earnestness in the prosecution of the . war ; could he not impart a portion of his public energy to his friend Lord Palmerston ? THE VIENNA CONFERENCES. THE RUSSIAN VERSION. Under date of St. Petershurg, 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 an 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 wer3 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. Guarat.tee 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 1. It is as follows : „ . ••• •••J •- " 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 sill 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 of their Court, 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 hi , 4 august thoughts he had essentially at heart to maintain the populations of Moldavia, Wallachia, and of Servia iu the peaceful enjoyment of th e re li g i ous 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 public 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 th expression used in any of our treaties - either in that of Kaieardji, or in that of BuCharest, or in the convention of Akerman, or in the treaty of Adiianople. 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 Princip a liti es. T he treaty o 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 upon which the political and national existence of the Danu bian provinces reposes. The Imperial Cabinet has the satis factory conviction of having loyally accomplished t hat result, with the double object of assuring on the one ha nd the wel fare of these countries, and on the other of putting aside new from politics of misunderstanding, rivalry, and perturbat ion 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 sttings 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 co mmunications by the acts of the Congress of Vienna. In virtue of that legislation a mixed commission will henceforth have the t ask of removin g the material obsta ces which have-impeded the navigation, and on more than one occasion have given rise to the complaints of commerce. Having happily overcome the difficulties presented by D. ` The late Ern - perm, 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 had 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 I of April, his Majesty deigned to authorise them to con tinue the deliberation commenced in the Fitting of the 26th 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, Prince Gortschakofr and M. Tito 11; in the 10th sitting, that of the 17th of April, put it to the Plenipotentiaries of France and England to explain themselves as to the modifications their Cabinets desired to have made 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 anilyse 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 th , s 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 Cabinet. They differed essentially, prima fade, from the very remarkable definition which Lord John Russell established on the 26th 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 opcning of the nogotiatiou by Prince Gortschakoff, that he we ihl consent to no condition incompatible with the honour of Russia, 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 most 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 the 2Gth 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 s:•oth, 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 erequatur—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 honourable, 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 would 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 h e put an end t' 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 l establishments. In a word, that plan, cot,ceived bl3ci, on apo theicy at the same time provident and disinterested, w one hand, have afforded a would not permanent dignity guarantee ofßus s o: fa would, cn rity to Europe, while, on the other, the ty, which the basis of international have suffered in the slightest degree. On her side she would have obtained equal rights for her flag by the opening of the Dardanelles and of the Bosphorus. On both sides there forms would have been in the adoption of this plan the merit of a perfect reciprocity, 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. "The - telegraphic communications gave incredible celerity to the transmission of that order. Thus the plan presented at Vienna on the 19th of April, examined at St. Petersburg on the 20th, was declined by the Russian plenipotentiaries in the conference of the 21 st. " Having obeyed the orders or their Court, they presented in the same sitting a counter-project, based upon their in structions, on the principle of throwing open the Straits and the free navigation of the Black Sea. "In support of that 'plan they read--1, a memorandum drawn up with a view to develope the advantages of the com bination proposed by the Imperial Cabinet in the general in terest of the balance of power in Europe ; and, 2cl, an expo sition containing the series of articles destined to convert the s aid project into a treaty. On the demand of the Russian thought p l en i po t en tiaries these two documents were annexed to Pro tocol 12. As they attest to all friendly Powers the sincerity and the perseverAnce of the efforts of the Imperial Cabinet towards the accomplishment of the work of peace b means compatible with the dignity ,of Russia, we have &g every pub fa l c isted in the p a p ers presented to fit to annex these documents to the present despatch, so as to E c A o n ni n p e l x e e t s e A an the dß, relationof as Parliament.

The general meeting of this praiseworthy institution was hell last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern; Mr. Charles Dickens, the president, in the chair. The 1 Chairman, after describing the objects of the institution, farcibly recommended it, and expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which it was managed. lie 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 I 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 beads, 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 bad a strike of cab men, which caused a great deal of inconvenience ; but he could assure them, as an. idea of their usefulness, a cab strike would be a mere trifle compared to the im portance of a suspension of the labours of the distribn tots of news. (Laughter.) Their calling had become , . of vital interest to the community in the assistance whiele it rendered t, the diffusion of that mighty engine—tNc terror alike of all humbugs and despots, the press-- (loud cheers)—and that calling had now become more useful than ever. He remembered the period when the sheet of the Times would have hardly furnished one night's curling paper for a young lady's hair, particularly if she was possessed of anything like a tolerable crop,. and he had watched its growth up to the present day, when every one must admit that amorniug's Tintea 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, ri , a also in influence and position.
