But for these gentlemen we should never have heard of the dastardly and inhuman massacre of Sinop e. But for them the public mind would never have been .horritied with the accounts received at intervals from the seat of war, relating how our wounded heroes were butchered in cold blood as they I iy disabled upon the ground before Sebastopol, on the heights at Inkerrnan, or in the valley at B Calslava. But for the paltering of our Ministers, asd. the timorous suavity of our rose-water diplom 4ists, and the pusillanimous counsels heard from the lips of our quondam demagogues, we should never have had such bit ter cause to curse the day when the destinies of England were confided to the coargo of men like Mr. GLADSTONE, and Sir J.AMES GRAHAM, and the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and the Earl of ABERDEEN — such bitter cause as that furnished by the recent despatches from the Baltic, relating how sixteen •or seventeen of our gallant tars, and seven or eight Russian prisoners, were brutally murdered by the Cossacks at }Tango while endeavouring under the hitherto sacred shelter of a flag of truce to land a body of Russian prisoners, relieved from the custody of the English out of motives as humane as they were chivalrous. The honourable gentleman the Member for Stafford may be precluded by the etiquette of the House of Commons from the privilege of calling - things by their right names when speaking of the recent conduct of the ex-First Lord of the Admi ralty and the late Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is not so, fortunately, with ourselves. We are not amenable, in these columns, to the wire-drawn regulations and fastidiously-contrived punctilios deemed requisite as balms, and salves, and un guents for the propre of over-sensitive right honoura,bles in the popular branch of the Legislature. Mr. OTWAY may be denied the poignant luxury of telling Mr. GLADSTONE and Sir JAMES GRAHAM to their teeth, in the presence and hearing of the Speaker, that any stipulations as to the conditions of peace made by them could have had no other object (judging from their late speeches in the House of Commons) than that of being favourable to our enemies the Russians Mr. OTwAY may be denied this luxury we say, on the plea that such language is not strictly within the rules of discussion—seeing that it is, of course, nothing less than attributing to hon. members that which is traitorous. Well, we take the words to which Mr. OTwAY was on Friday evening denied, the satisfaction of giving utterance in Parliament. We take them, we . adopt them, we reiterate them, we insist upon their undeniable veracity—upon the directness and distinctness of their application. We go fur ther—we maintain that not only must the Rus sians have been favoured by any stipulations in sisted upon, as among -the necessary conditions of peace, by the once powerful, but happily impo tent, little faction of the Aberdeenites, but that to tfieso sane A.berdeenites, and to the congenial influence of the miserable Peace-at-any-price Party, may be traced the chief calamities of the War, and certainly among those calamities the ferocity displayed from time to time by the soldiers and sailors of the Russian Autocrat. Have we not all along insisted that the late tranquillity of forty Europeanyears' duration. might still have been preserved intact had a ra tional amount of decision been dis p la yed at the right time —namely, at the very first instant by the leaders of our €.-avernment ? We have never retracted that opinion—it still remains among our implicit convictions --a belief confirmed b y every .subsequent occurrence. We still believ e , as we have all along believed, that we .should never have had this war with Russia if England -64P4 said in time, "It shall not be !"—if our Lad declared, before the CZAR'S army. had Pi th, " DIRECTLY YOUR TROOPS PASS .ICON w SHALL BE r:OurELLED TO PE" CLARE WA: a AGAINST YOU !" The Pruth would in that ail e never have been crossed—war would never bra e been declared--the peace which had survived since 1815 would never have been in terrupted . That has been our conviction from the first—it is now the universal con viction -of every impartial observer of the events which have, since the outbreak of the strug gle, trap spired. And why was not this wise course pi trsued, why was not this timely decision manifested by the British Government ? Because of the A.l)erdeenites ! Because my Lord ABER DEEN was Prime Minister—because the Duke of NEWCASTLE was Secretary for War, and Mr. SID NEY HERBERT Secretary at War, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM First Lord of the Admiralty, and Mr. GLADSTONE Chancellor of the Exchequer ! Be cause of all this ! We have the clue now— (thanks, among other things, to the speeches of the members for Carlisle and the University of Oxford)—we have the clue now—through all the labyrinth of our past blunders, a labyrinth which, but for that clue, we might have found some diffi culty in threading. Everything is comprehensi ble at last—in regard to the futility of Colonel ROSE'S first demand for the Mediterranean fleet, in regard to Admiral DIINDAS'S refusal to comply with that urgent requisition, in regard to all the doubts, and delays, and hesitations by which subsequent events were complicated at Constanti nople, until a diplomatic squabble had been allowed to grow, and grow, and grow into a war of European magnitude. For all these doubts, delays, and hesitations we have to thank the patriotism of the Aberdeenites, and the civic ardour of their auxiliaries outside the pale of the Administration, the craven, peace-courting, leek munching Peace-at-any-price Party. For the Russian War and all its consequences we are in debted to the Earl of ABERDEEN, to Mr. GLAD STONE, to Mr. BRIGHT, and to their redoubtable compeers. We alone do not say it. The whole country knows it as a fact, beyond all possibility of denial. And yet more, as we have said already, we have to thank, not only for the Russian War, but for Russian ferocity in like manner, the united influence of this Peace-at-any-price Party, and of these miserable Aberdeenites. To these we ar• indebted for that blot on the national escutcheon — that massacre at Sinope, which occurred while our fleet was riding at anchor in the waters of the Bosphorus. To the influence of their disastrous policy we may trace not only the massacre of th• Turks at Sinope, but that also •f our own brave fellows when lying wounded upon the battle-field, and very recently also the cold-blooded murder of sixteen or seventeen of ourgallant seamen bearing a flag of truce to Hangs on a mission of magnanimity. The Member for Stafford may have his lips sealed against the utterance of language not strictly Par liamentary. Truth must yet be spoken—that truth which lives at this moment in the heart and conscience of 30,000,000 of English men. The truth that to the malign influence of the sticklers for Russian " honour" (!) and to that of mistaken humanitarians almost every one of the calamitous incidents of the War are directly attri butable. Who shall say how much sooner Lord RAGLAN might have established his head-quarters within Sebastopol had not his hands been in a man ner tied by instructions coming out to him from home—instructions made out of mistaken motives of humanity, forsooth ! instructions to save as much as possible the buildings of the more peaceable in habitants ? The first folly, nay, treason, of a like order in regard to tliebombardment of Odessa is not forgotten, any more than the people of England are likely to lose the remembrance very speedily of the other preposterous evidences of the evils accruing from the peace-mongering principles of Brightites and Aberdemites—of timorous admi nistrators, and devil's-dust philanthropists. In its anxiety to advance the interests of its Leviathan neighbour the Prussian Government has resorted to steps scarcely compatible with the neutrality it professes itself to be so anxious to maintain. The recent proceedings against the Secretary to the British Consul at Cologne will require very clear and distinct explanation, and possibly amends. We do not say that if any pri vate charge can be produced against an individual that he should be sheltered from the consequences thereof by his connection with the diplomatic ser. vice of another nation, but it is obvious that any such proceedings should be conducted with the utmost delicacy and circumspection, and that any suspicion of undue motives should, be care fully eschewed by the authorities who resort to so extreme a measure as the arrest of a party engaged in the diplomatic service of another nation. The case is materially aggravated by the fact that, at the time of his arrest, the individual in question was the bearer of a despatch to the Foreign-office of Great Britain. A confidential communication, from one of our Consuls, has. been forcibly taken possession of ; and even if its contents have been respected— a matter which remains in considerable doubt—its delivery has been delayed. The friends of a nation which habitually fires on flags of truce may think this a trivial point. We can not hesitate, however, as to the light in which it will be regarded in all civilised countries where there is a just regard for national honour and national faith. The alleged ground for this very extraordinary proceeding was, that the party was suspected of being engaged in forwarding enlistments for the British Foreign Legion. So great is the anxiety of the Prussian Government to prevent such a violation of its pretended neutrality that it has thus flung aside the conventional courtesy and respect due to an independent nation. It has thereby proved beyond the possibility of doubt how serious in its estimation is such an offence— and has unquestionably subjected itself to satisfy the aggrieved state, that it is equally determined to repress such actions by any parties whatsoever, and that if it will not sanction enlistments for Great Britain it will be equally decided in put ting down those intended to operate against its interests. Now, we have it on unquestionable authority that enlistments for the Russian army are openly carried on in different parts of Prussia without let or hindrance, and are connived at, if not openly encouraged, by the authorities ! If this be so, and we cannot doubt the accuracy of our informant, the arrest of Mr. BRAY becomes doubly reprehensible, and demands immediate measures of retaliation. There might be some shadow of excuse if Russia and England were treated in the same way, but when assistance is given to our enemy—when Russian agents are allowed to obtain recruits, without interfer ence or objection, there can be no justification for the summary arrest of a diplomatic agent on the mere suspicion that he was engaged in like Proceedings on the part of Great Britain. We are sure that Lord CLARENDON will not permit ' this outrage to remain unnoticed, but that he Will insist on ample satisfaction for the insult to the English flag and the violation of the law of na tions. - - But he should do more. He should adopt de- cisive measures to teach Prussia that if she wishes to retain the privileges of a neutral she must ob serve a strict neutrality, and not either directly or indirectly, openly or covertly, lend assistance to one of the belligerents which she refuses to others. It is time that Prussia should receive a salutary lesson in a matter in which there is so great a call for wholesome instruction. In connection with this subject we may point attention to a letter touching the importation of pig iron into Prussian ports, and its re-exportation to Russia. This is a very one-sided neutrality. The same may be said of King LEOPOLD as to the manufacture of arms in Balgium, ostensibly for Prussia, but really for Russia. Such conduct will ono day receive its due reward, and the sooner the better. One of the chief causes for which Parliament was convened before Christmas was to obtain assent to the formation of a Foreign Legion. It was represented that the assistance of such a body was a matter of urgent and paramount importance, and that the requisite authority could not be postponed without dangerous, if not fatal conse quences to our gallant troops in the Crimea. The public journals almost unanimously disapproved of the project, which they believed to be alto gether uncalled for, and which cast a heavy stigma on the martial prowess of their country men. In common with all untainted by " Germanism" they " felt a decided preference for the British Article," which they asserted could be obtained more quickly and cheaply, and cer tainly not inferior in quality. Ministers, how ever, succeeded in pressing forward the obnoxious measure through both Houses of Parliament, despite the protests and remonstrances of patriotic individuals in both branches of the Legislature, and the universal dislike of all classes throughout the length and breadth of tbe land to its obnoxious provisions. Half a-year has since elapsed and little, if any thing, has been done to accomplish the matter in which expedition was declared to be indispensable. Not a single foreign soldier has been imported into England. It is true that a few hundreds have been collected together in Heligoland, but in ob taining these recruits, we have subjected ourselves to be treated with contumely by other nations, and, as mentioned in another part of this day's impression, embittered our relations with Prussia, who seemed to think the matter contained such evidence of conscious weakness that she might venture to kick the apparently exhausted Lion with impunity. This is all that Government has taken by its motion. It has incurred the shame and scandal of the abortive effort without practi cal effect, and that notwithstanding the induce ments held out, and the not very creditable means resorted to by the official " Sergeant KITES." We have only just learned the full extent of these inducements. It was not merely bounty, pay and rations, albeit they far exceeded anything offered by the German States, that were held out as temptations to take " the QUZEN'S shilling" and mount the cockade. It was not merely the offer of valuable privileges respecting the officers of their corps, who were to be their own countrymen, re ceiving their commissions without purchase, and who could not be subjected to the annoyance of seeing aristocratic or wealthy youths pitehforked into rank over the heads of meritorious veterans. In addition to these, and to handsome compensa tion in the event of wounds or injuries sus tained in the service, it was, it appears, con templated to bestow grants of land in Canada OD every soldier as well as officer, and prac tically to found a new military colony, not of 'Ale Anglo-Saxon race, but of men naturally levoted to the interests of their "fatherland " eather than of the country which had so bounti- Nly rewarded their mercenary services. And this project will be carried into practical execu tion, and every German recruit will receive a valuable boon, not accorded to those who have devoted the best years of their lives to the service of their native land, unless the Canadian Legisla ture reject the insidious proposition with the in lignation which it merits. Why, we ask, if there had been any difficulty in obtaining eligible recruits in the United Kingdom have not similar iniucements been veld out to English, Irish, and. Scotchmen, who we venture to assert would make as efficient ioldiers and colonists as any Germans that could be found? Why have not efforts been made to ameliorate the condition of private soldiers, to give them greater conveniences in barracks, and ,etter prospects of obtaining commissions in cases of high desert ? The prospect of becoming landed proprietors when their services could be dispensed with, of enjoying the °awn, elm di,nitate on their own estates would attract a far better class of men to our standards, and those who now 4hun the recruiting-serjeants and are proof .gainst all their blandishments would 3agbrly seek employment, the result of which vyould be to give 50 acres of land to every pri vate, 100 to every non-commissioned officer, and From 200 to 500 to every man holding a commis- 3iOD. List week we published a communication, written before this plan was known, in which our .correspondent, Mr. H. DurPA, suggested the for mation of a volunteer corps for active service, which, as he showed, could be easily obtained in almost any numbers, under certain conditions, one of the principal being a grant of land in some of our colonies. The plan appears deserving of .nature and attentive consideration, although some of its features seem as yet scarcely developed. For instance, it is proposed that the men should have the power of electin their own officers ! It is not, however, stated from what body they should be selected, or what guarantee there would he for their experience or efficiency The proposition that vacancies should be filled up fr . om the corps itself seems an excellent one, and would dcubtless, in the existing state of military administration, be highly estimated by officers and men. Combined with the subsequent ;rant of land, which, in case of death in the service, could be bequeathed to some friend or relative, the scheme offers advantages superior to any we have yet heard, and the various details could easily be arranged so as to secure an efficient body of men luring war, and " an industrial but military class of settlers" in any colony where such persons were required, who, as our correspondent felicitously remarks, would form "a sort of military social guard of the Grand Army of Civilisation 1" Let the project only receive the attention it so eminently merits, and there will be no necessity for seeking Germans to perform the duties which there are plenty of Englishmen ready and willing abd fully competent to discharge if they only receive a por tion of the encouragement so lavishly proffered to strangers. There is fair promise already of good coming out of this Administrative Reform Movement. The popular sympathy in its favour is not only wide, but deep. It is not with its promoters, as it was with the champions of the Anti-Corn-Law League. The latter had prejudices to overcome Among the - industrial middle-elasA of Bloomsbury, as well as 'among the.flaneurs of Belgravia, among THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1885 the manufacturing multitude, hardly no less than among the agricultural population. The leaders of the new agitation have only to point out the necessity for the proposed changes, for chat ne cessity to he at once, almost. universally, recognised. The rapid growth of an association, which was only the other day inaugurated by a meeting in the London Tavern, is of itself a sufficient testimony of the fact that far and wide the reasonableness of the projected innovation is to the full appre ciated. That initiatory assemblage of a few emi nent City men was pooh-poohed by its deriders, in the first instance, somewhat cavalierly. Its in fluence is now recognised, however, to have proved itself, even thus early, rather formidable than otherwise. It very speedily excited an emulative enthusiasm in the cause of Administrative Reform throughout the provinces, so that the movement may be said to have already made the round of the country, returning to the metropolis reinvigorated, so to speak, by the circumstance of its having been welcomed on all hands with a prompt and plenary approbation. Wednesday, the 13th of June, 1855, will henceforth be long remembered as the date of the first monster meeting in Drury: Lane Theatre of the great Administrative Reform Association. It will be remembered years hence as the beginning of the end of the system of Exclusiveness. It will be then remembered as the commencement of a new epoch in this country of social and political development—as the dawn of a new era in which fresh blood had to be in fused into the dwindling veins of the Constitution. It will not be forgotten very readily that this inaugu rative assemblage of our Administrative Reformers took place, as it were, on the very eve of the day on which their views were to be first brought for mally and distinctly under the notice of the popu lar branch of th 6 Legislature. Any more than it will be soon lost to recollection that the demand for a reform of this comprehensive character had, in the latter instance, been enforced by the vir tual coincidence of the opinions expressed before the House of Commons by two among the most remarkable men of our generation—sentiments enunciated, that is, through AUSTIN LAYARD'S motion and BULWER LYTTOI'S amendment. The popular gathering in Old Drury, followed almost immediately afterwards by the discussion provoked within the walls of Parliament by the lion. :mem ber for Aylesbury, will be looked back to, we doubt not, by the more reflective among our re mote successors as the events which marked the close of the old blundering scheme of patrician intrigue upon which, up to that time, had been built up the whole of the vast and complicated fabric of our Constitutional Government. Already, indeed, we may recognise in passing occurrences substantial guarantees that sooner or later there must come inevitably the desired re form in our system of Administration. It is no longer a question of practicability. It is only one of time. We shall be rid at last of the ancient incubus which has hitherto clung as per tinaciously to our shoulders as did the Old Man of the Sea to those of SINBAD the Sailor. At last we shall be enabled to escape from under the poisoned boughs of the genealogical Upas. At last we shall be afforded an opportunity of passing out into the common sunshine, from beneath what our contemporary the Times, in this year of grace, 1855, called the " cold shade of the aristocracy," but what had already, as far back as 1824, been designated more explicitly by THOMAS MOORE, in his " Life of SHERIDAN," the " overshadowing branches of the Whig aristo cracy"). phrase which he tills us natively in his " Diary," under date 12th December, 1825, was particularly unpalatable to " ears polite," meaning, to those of the still surviving Nestor of the party reflected upon, Lord LANSDOWNE, as may be seen by the curious in such matters, detailed at page 17 in the sixth volume of the " Memoirs of MooRE," edited by my Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Another illustration of the evil we are all of us complaining of so loudly nowadays, an illus tration equally as amusing as that just referred to in the preceding paragraph, may be found duly recorded in a volume of politico-literary me morials still more recently published than the one last mentioned as having been conducted through the press under the auspices of the Colonial Secre tary. It relates to a remark of a similar charac ter, made, however, this time, not thirty years ago, but barely fourteen from the present date, au allusion not to the exclusiveness of the Whigs, but to the exclusiveness of the Tories, or rather of their successors the Conseria tives, a sarcasm, not uttered by the lips of the Irish Poet, but by those of one of the few men who were eminent, as countrymen of his, among his own immediate conteaworaries. RICHARD SHlEL—himself a staunch Whig, though an Irish man, and once a demagogue—SHlEL it was who in the September of 1841, when. Sir ROBERT'S new Cabinet was in process of con.struction, thus is re corded, in his own words, to have drawn the atten tion of a noble Whig Lord, to the preference shown at that time by the great parvenu statesman, for peers and the sons of peers, as the members, both principal and subordinate, of his Conservative Administration. " Happening," said the late Mr. SHIEL, " to sit beside one of the ex-ministers at dinner, soon after the writs for the new officials had been moved, I observed that PEEL was filling up all his posts with Lords. And he is quite right,' said Lord ; 'he .understands what he has to deal with, how his majority can alone be kept together.' " Yes, Whigs and Tories, Liberals and Conservatives, are all alike. As Mr. TORRENS M'CULLAGH, in recording the incident we have here particularised, observes im mediately thereupon in his newly published " Life of SHIEL" (Vol. 11., pp. 304-305.) " The esoteric principle of the Whigs and Tories is, in this respect, the same. They tolerate a few ple beians as working colleagues, but they think and feel towards them rather as advocates whom they have retained than equals whom they are bound to recognise"—adding, a little further on—" the House of Commons is more intensely susceptible of aristocratic prejudices than any assembly in the civilised world." Every syllable of that is true —and without being coloured by one particle of exaggeration. The time, however, when those prejudices will, have to be abandoned both by Whigs and Tories has even now arrived. The signal for the change has gone forth, it has already become audible within " those vary thick party walls" wittily alluded to the other day in a noble letter penned by the honoured hand of CHARLES DICKENS —those walls which have constituted hitherto th e f as t ness o f the younger sons of the nobility, the " very thick party walls" of the so-called popular branch of the Imperial Legisla ture.

The reconciliation of Austria with Prussia, and the attitude assumed by the form 3r, have created a bad effect here. No intelligence from the Crimea. The Patrie says it has great reason to doubt the accuracy of a Vienna despatch, published by a Lon don morning paper, stating all the French troops at Kertch had been recalled to Sebastopol. It is probable, it thinks, that a portion of the force may have been sent to Anapa to reinforce the Circassian contingents, and prevent any return of the Rus sians in that quarter. The Universal German Gazette, professing to speak on the authority of the French Captain, Baron de Breitenbach, who had arrived at Vienna from the Crimea with despatches for Baron de Bonrqueney, says that General Pelissier was going to fight a decisive battle between the 12th and 15th of June, and that the allies had taken every neces sary measure to insure victory. The treaty conceding the Pyrenean line to M. de Rothschild is said to be signed. A company has offered to construct at its own cost a line between Macon and Nevers, with a branch to Roanne.

PETERSBURG, June s.—By an order of the day published in the journals, the Emperor, after a second minute inspection of the fortifications of Cronstadt, has declared himself perfectly contented with the defences of the place, and especially men tions the new lunettes, the batteries of Lissy's-Nose, the " tongue, of land" of Cronstadt, and Fort Paul, which be considers impregnable. In consequence of his impaired state of health, the artillery general Yertnaloff has resigned his appointment as commander-in-chief of the newly organised militia of the empire, and the resignation has been accepted by an order of the day published to-day. Lieutenant-General Count Stroganow, hitherto head of the militia of the province of Nischegorod, is appointed to the vacancy. General Bevouder, lately commander of the first division of the Guards at Revel, was received to day by the Emperor in a private audience. He will proceed immediately to Poland to assume the command of the sec -, nd army corps. Tho Holy Synod (the highest ecclesiastical col lective authority) has just petitioned the Emperor to turn a more favourable ear to the negotiations for peace. It is not yet known what answer the Czar has returned, but the fact is significant.

They are accused of having taken part in the troubles of 1848, and left Poland to assist the Hungarians and help to organise the democratic clubs. Every movement of the French and British ships off Cronstadt is carefully noted down and tele graphed to the Emperor. It isstid that a short time ago Adthirals Dundas and Seymour had a' very narrow escape of beimg made prisoners. They had landed on an uninhabited rock near Sweaborg to reconnoitre. This being perceived from the for tress, a steamer and a gun-boat were sent out to capture them, and might have done so if they had been more cleverly manoeuvred. As it was, how ever, they just cam© too late, and the British corn manfTers had re-embarked. JUNE 6.—The last post has brought us the Lon don newspapers, with the speech of Earl Grey in the House of Lords, which, of course, created a favourable sensation among the Russians, and is allowed to circulate both in the original and in translations in the newspapers of this city.. The new batteries that have lately been erected on Lissy's Nose—the point of the coast on the mainland nearest to the island of Cronstadt—are said to fill up the hiatus in the line of coast de fences, and are armed with guns of very heavy calibre. A large camp is ordered to be formed on the east bank of the river Narva, near Ivangorod, and nearly opposite that fortress. The command is given to General Sievers. From the reports of General Wrangel, with re ference to the less of Yenikale and Kertch, it ap pears that the Russians were completely taken by surprise. The Emperor was furious the first day, and has been sulky ever since. It is generally ex pected that Wrangel will be removed -from his command, and share the fate of Menschikoff, Dan nenberg, and other Russian commanders forsaken by fortune, or who may have committed some stra tegical blunder ; for luck is an indispensable quali fication for the enjoyment of the imperial favour. BERLIN, June 16.—We have telegraphic infor mation here that a fresh ukase has been issued for the purpose of expediting the levy of recruits lately ordered in the 17 Western Governments of Russia to the extent of 12 in every 1,000 registered " souls ;" the tenour of this new ukase is to sus pend al the hitherto existing exemptions from military services ; as regards the populations of towns and hamlets, to extend the age at which men have hitherto been liable to serve up to that of 37 years ; and to empower the military boards en trusted with the business of conscription even to set aside the exemption hitherto existing in favour of only sons. In the government of Ekaternoslav, however, the levy of recruits is postponed until September 15. The following is the text of the Imperial mani festo, settling the question of a Regency in case of the present Emperor's decease. Two days ago I was enabled to forward you the pith of it by means of information I had received from Konigsberg : " IMPERIAL MANIFESTO. We, Alesarder the Second, by the Grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russia.% King . of Poland; &c. " Ever since we mounted the hereditary throne of the rulers of Russia our attention has been unremittingly di rected to all that can contribute to the preservation and consolidation of the tranquillity and prosperity of Ole empire entrultefl to ns by Divine Providence ; and we have - considered it to be one of oar most sacred duties to the best of our power to take measures that may be resorted to in enraadinary canes. Our lives are all in God's hand, as our dearly beloved ntiVer ta -be - forgotten father said in his manifesto of January 28, 1828. Bearing this in mind, and in con ,ideration of our successor the C&trowitch and of the Grand Doke Nicolai Alexandro witch being under ago, it aas seem e d good to us, m conformity with the funda mental laws of the empire, and with the approbation and lileSsing of our dearest mother the E;npres Alexandra Fendorowna, to ordain arid to mai; e known to all men 1. That in case of our decease previous to our dearly beloved son and successor's having attained the full age required by law for the majority of an Emperor, we have (until ho shall have attained that full age) nomi nated our dearly-beloved brother, the Grand Duke Con stantine Nicolaijewitch, Regent of the Empire and of the territories indivieibio from it, the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Finland. "2. That, in case it should please God after our fie cease also to call to Himself our first-born son, before he has attained his majority, and consequently, in con formity to the law regulating the succession t, the throne of Russia, our next sbn monists it, the Grand Duke Con stantine Nicolaijewitch shall remain Regent of the Em pire until this our next son comes of age. "3. That, in all the contingencies indicated in the foregoing paragraphs 1 and 2 the guardianship both of our first-born son and of all our other children until their coming of age shall in its full power and extent be vested in our dearest Consort, the Empress Maria Alexan drowna. " Whilst we, in thus early settling and promulgating these rules, removing every doubt as to our will and our intentions with reference to the government of the Em pire during the minority of the heirs to our throne, we desire at the very commencement of our reign to give our beloved faithful subjects a new proof of our reverential respect for the laws of our common Fatherland. And may they then always and by all be observed as sacredly, and may the prosperity, power, and happiness of the Empire entrusted to us by God ever consolidate them selves more and more on this firm basis. "Given at Zarskoje-Sselo, May 21st (0.5.), in the year after the birth of ChristlBss, and in the first of our reign. "ALEXANDER." The May number of the Russian Marine Magazine, which appeared only very lately, contains little of interest beyond the reports of M. Mansuroff, who was sent as Imperial Commissioner into the Crimea for the purpose of inquiring, into the state of the medical arrangements there, and of distributing the patriotic gifts of his countrymen, a mission very nearly akin to that of the Times' Commis sioner at Scutaria. His reports reveal much that will offer a corresponding pendant to the pictures you have already published of the state of things in our hospitals. The numbers of the seamen, to whom his mission seems in great measure to have been confined, are now so reduced that this corps is as such no longer employed in any action of importance. At the approach of the warmer season, which began in Sebastopol in the middle of April, an endeavour was made to relieve the hospitals by removing all such, whether sick or wounded, as could in any way bear the re moval. There had, however, been a fearful defi ciency of vehicles, and such a lack of hay and straw, that many of these invalids had had nothing be tween them and the bare boards of the carts. A batch of 236 sick and Rounded (of course only the less gravely injured would be selected for such a trip) forwarded from Sebastopol to Simpheropol lost 26 of its number before reaching its destination, partly by death, and partly by their inability to bear the jolting of the arabas. I have been assured that a despatch forwarded home from one of the foreign missions here, con tains the statement that Count Munster, the mili tary representative of Prussia at St. Petersburg, had lately informed his own Court that Prince Gortschakoff has telegraphed to the Emperor to the effect that, now that his supplies of provisions are partly cut off and partly rendered extremely diffi cult of attainment, he cannot undertake to hold Sebastopol for longer than a certain short space of time mentioned by him; that above all things else, hay had become scarce, and that he in this despatch begs for instructions as to whether he may pro ceed to give battle to the besiegers in the open field, for the purpose of relieving the fortress. In connection with this part of the subject, he draws attention to the amount of losses the troops hither to despatched to the Crimea have suffered ; this amount is mentioned as 50,000. The whole story is very plausible and probable, and so natural that almost anybody might invent it ; the contents of the supposed despatzh may be true, but I have not been able to establish the fact that Count Munster really has telegraphed anything of the kind ; on the contrary, all that I have learned tends to strengthen a contrary opinion. THE BALTIC FLEET. DANTZIC, JUNE 15. The Vulture, 6, Capt. Glasse, arrived in the „roads at ltio'clock last night, with the mails. She 'left the fleet anchored off Cronstadt, in the same 'position as reported last week. On the 9th inst. the Merlin and Firefly, hav ing on board the French Admiral, all the Cap tains, and several of the Commanders in the fleet, left the anchorage and accompanied by the Dragon and a French steam-corvette D'Assas, went up to reconnoitre the fortifications on the north side of Cronstadt. After passing Tolbouken Light house, they had proceeded to within about 2,500 yards of Fort Risbauk, when suddenly two of those long-talked of and much-dreaded infernal machines exploded right under the bows of the Merlin, and a third burst, almost at the same mo . merit, under the Firefly. The two steamers, al though, of course, severely shaken, were, however, strange to say, but very slightly damaged by the )sion. As the Vulture was lying on the 3d inst. off the island of Nargen, three Poles, serving in the 12th Russian Regiment of the Line, deserted, and came on board ; they were handed over to the command ing officer, Captain Warden, of the Ajax, who for warded them on to the Commander-in-Chief. On the following day two civilians deserted to the Ajax,; and if what they told the officers of that vessel be true, there aremany others in Revel only watching fora favourable opportunity to follow their example in order to avoid tho conscription, of which they seem to be in great dread. The Bulldog, on her passage last week from here to the fleet, with mails and despatches, broke down near Faro Sound, in consequence of some accident to' her mmhinery. She succeeded, however, in reaching Nargen, from which place the Lightning took on the mails. There has been a report circulating on 'Change of late that it is the intention of some of the most influential and enterprising firms in Dantzic to establish a regular hne of small steamers, between this port and London, for the conveyance of passen gers and freights, but especially wheat. To this end arrang .meats have already been.entered into with an eminent shipbuilder in London for the purchase of a new and powerful steamer of about 400 tons ; and it is also contemplated to build two other steamers of about the same size at Dantzic, to be employed on the same line. The timber trade.has been for some time past and still continues in a very dull and depressed state, arising in a great measure from the scarcity of vessels, in consequence of which freights have risen upwards of 2s. during the 11st three weeks. The prices,, moreover, demanded by the Polish merchants, who are just 'beginning to arrive, with fresh supplies from Poland, are still too high to encourage purchasers to buy for export. The corn trade has received a check, owing to the dull accounts from all parts. Prices have fallen from 2s. to 4s. frOm the highest point. There is little or nothing offering for sale, partly on ac count of the low stocks, and partly because sellers prefer holding until better times. Weather very changeable. A telegraphic despatch from Kiel, dated 16th inst., announces the arrival at that port of Admiral Baynes's squadron, en route to the Baltic. SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM, June B.—Negotiations have been opened with the Swedish government for ceding the island of Gothland. to England and France, in order to form a winter station for the fleets, which wool I then be able to 6nclior in the safe and com modious harbour of Faro Sound, and not be obliged to return home at the end of the campaign. The advantages to be derived from this plan are obvious. From that advanced position the ships could keep a better check on the movements of the enemy, nor need they retire from the coast till actually obliged to do so by the setting in of the frost, whilst Gothland offers a favourable situation for the permanent establishment of large depots of coals, provisions, ammunition, and stores for the use of the fleets, as well as hosp itals for the sick and wounded, and barracks' for the land troops during the winter. The allied forces would, moreover, be enabled to exercise a better control over the move ments of neutral vessels, and prevent the recurrence of such a shameful act as that lately performed by the United States merchant ship Sammy Apple ton, in landing 50,000 rifles and 12,000 revolvers at Baltic Port. It is a question for th e investiga tion of her Majestys Government, what was the British Consul at Boston about, to permit the ship ment to take place under his very eyes, or, at all events, not to give the Government intelligence a the fact, that proper measures might been taken in time to stop the vessel in question at Elsinore, where she lay for several days, waiting till the state of the ice allowed her to proceed to Port Baltic ?
