What " courtesy" is due to Russia ? The stern courtesy whiCh the duellist (shows to his antagonist when he takes his ground. . The courtesy inspired by the reluctance of every noble heart to vent itself in railing. As for the 'lavish abuse of England, even in quarters where common decency would have dictated a different tone, they are no more than we expected, and can despise. Have we not been accustomed for the greater part of half a century to hear our struggles during the great European war undervalued, and our victory at Waterloo denied ? The universal disposition to carp and cavil at England on all occasions is an involuntary tribute to her great ness—the muttered envi-of less favoured nations. England can afford to hold the even , tenor of her way undisturbed by them. England is alike prepared fOr war or peace, whichever regard to her own honour and the in terests of Europe shall dictate. If it is to be war, the duty of Englishmen is clear: to support the Government in its vigorous prosecution, and to watch jealously that the 'national mean are ap plied with judgment, and a wise, becausidufficions, economy. If it is to be peace, other duties, no less important and honourable, will devolve upon us, and to these we would now invite attention.

The Foreign Enlistment question still appears ta remain un settled ; and, if we are to accept the statements published in the American newspapers as correctly interpreting—which we have reason to fear they do—the policy that the Cabinet at Washington is determined at all risks and hazards to pursue, " the reparation" mentioned in the President's Message amounts to this—the recall of Mr. Cramp ton, and, in the event of non - com plianc® on the part of the British Government, the delivery to that gentlethan of his passports, and the withdrawal of the exequaturs of three British Consuls sdp. posed to be implicated in the same alleged in fringement of the neutrality laws of the United States. What means the American papers May have of becoming acquainted so accurately with the secrete of the Cabinet at Washington, it is idle 113 well as useless for us at so great a distance to at tempt to guess or divine. In all probability some of them have lent themselves to that dangerous system of bluster which Mr. Pierce and Mr. At torney-General Cushing have thought proper to adopt, -with a view to influence the next Presi , dental election, and have inferred the probable policy of the Administration from the only in stance which the history of their country affords of the compelled recall of a Foreign Minister, and of the withdrawal of the exeguaturs of Fo reien Consuls. In the year 1793, Citizen Genet, the Minister of the French Republic, sigualimed the commencement of his diplomatic career in the' United States by fitting out, in the American ports, privateers to cruise against English commerce —England being a Power with whom the United States was at peace, though she was engaged in warfare with France. Citizen Genet answered the remonstrances addressed to him by Washington— who naturally wished to preserve a position of honourable neutrality—by a most insolent letter, appealing from the President to the people, and Washington forthwith sent him his passports, of which, however, Citizen Genet did not avail him self, having a discreet suspicion that his head would not be safe on his return to his own country. He was, nevertheless, divested of his diplomatic cha racter, and continued for the remainder of his life to reside under the protection of that very Power whose laws he had violated. About the same time a French Consul, M. Duplaine, had caused a vessel to be rescued from the custody of the officers of the United States, and in this case his exequatur was very properly withdrawn by President Washington. In both these instances the vio lation of the neutrality laws of the United, States was open and undisguised. These precedents, no doubt, have occurred to the recollection of our • ransatlantic contemporaries, and they have come to the conclusion that the timohas arrived when President Pierce may, with advantage to himself, parody the proceeding of the great Washington, by demanding the recall of a Foreign Minister, and withdrawing the exequaturs of certain Foreign Consuls. The cases are not in the slightest degree similar. M. Genet and M. Duplaine were them selves, directly and personally, implicated in an offence which, beyond dispute, violated the law of the State to which they were accredited ; but in the case of Hertz (for we cannot call it the case of Iqr. Crampton), the attempt which was made in the district court of Pennsylvania was to connect that gentleman with the acts of certain agents, who proved their honesty by conveniently turning States' evidence, and by making statements which, if of any value, only amounted to this—that they had not succeeded in extorting the money which they had originally expected to receive. But the strangest part of the whole affair is, that the American Go vernment, whilst it is willing to adopt and act upon the evidence of common informers, entirely disre gards the memoranda produced at the trial, whisk state that no act must be done which would " con stitute a violation of the law of the United States ;" er "hear the appearance of recruiting within the jurisdiction of the United States ;" and that, if the , strict observance of these points were neglected, the parties " must expect no sort of aid or aesist ance from the British Government." The com mission of the alleged offence was preceded by these instructions, framed with scrupulous care to li avoid any possible infringement of the law of the united States ; and after it became known to the British Government that a constructive and unin tentional cause of complaint had been given, the whole scheme of recruitment was at once stopped, 1 and ample explanations and apologies were ten dered and given. O ne American paper states : " Lord Palmerston insists that sufficient explana tion and apology have already been given to the United States, and our Government, with equal pertinacity, insists on the contrary. On the dis agreement on this point all further correspondence between the two Governments hag closed. The special Message which the President has in readi ness for the Congress will be found to sustain this statement." Here we may observe, that at the time when these opinions were expressed, intelli gence had not reached America of au early prospect of the restoration of peace iu Europe. The naval powcr of England—never - more fully developed than at present, comprising a force of ships of the line, frigates, and mortar and gun-boats, in com parison with which the entire navy of the United States is but a weak and inefficient squadron, will, with the certainty of peace, be set at liberty to act in vindication of the national honour in whatever quarter it may be assailed. The change, there fore, which has recently conic over the drama of European politics will, no doubt, have its proper weight with all reflecting men in the United States, and they will consider whether, in a point of mere international punctilio—which has been the sub ject of explanation and apology—a war should be rashly and wickedly provoked, which would sweep American commerce from the seas, and lay the whole seaboard of the Union open to the attacks of the greatest naval Power in the world. (From, the Dail,,, Mies of this day.) It might not be amiss if some of the more zealous encomiasts of Lord Palmerston were to call to mind the lesson of the dinner given by the Reform Club to Sir Charles Napier before he sailed for the Baltic. It will be wise to reserve their songs of triumph for the Premier's success as a war minister and peace-maker until the peace is really concluded ; as it would have been wise to have reserved the eloquent tributes to Sir Charles's exploits in the Baltic until they had been achieved. When the peace is concluded, and found to be such as Eng land has a right to expect, we shall not be cold or slow in our acknowledgments of the merit of the Minister to whom we ewe it ; but, to use a homely proverb, we don't like to " count our chickens be fore they are hatched." Of all kinds of discounting, the discounting of honour and glory is the most dangerous. It is not because our belief in the near approach of peace is shaken, or because we doubt that the terms—though short of what we could wish—will be such as England may accept without dishonour, that we make this remark. The object with which the war was commenced was to assert the inde pendence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire. Russia has been forced to recoil ; to relinquish her arrogant claim to be recognised as sovereign medi ator between the Sultan and the subjects of the Greek rite., More than this, Russia has consented not to rebuild her Black Sea fleet or maintain mili tary arsenals on the Euxine, and to cede a portion of Bessarabia,. We admit that these terms do not appear to us sufficient to ensure a permanent peace. We believe that Russia's policy is merely reculer pour Inieux sauter. But we believe that sufficient time will be gained before she can be ready to make another spring, to admit of her destined victims placing themselves in a position to defy her utmost efforts. The Russian retreat leaves Turkey stronger than she has been at any time s ince the suppression of the Janissaries and the destruction of her fleet at Navarino. It will be Turkey's own fault if the termination of the respite that has been gained for her does not find her in a condition to snake such a stand against Russia as she has never done since her con diets with that ambitious and unscrupulous power began. It is true that another camp a i g u would certainly have sent Russia's Baltic fleet to keep company with her fleet of the Black Sea, and would have enabled Poland to re-assert her nationality. Another campaign would have more effectuall y tamed Russia's spirit of lawless aggression. But it is evident that our groat Ally shrieks from the wider issues which a prolongation of the contest would necessarily have opened, and there is no call on England to undertake single-handed the task 01 making "assurance doubly sire." In !Raking this cou however, cession, we take for granted that the terms to which the Russian Gabi net have already set their hands ere thn very that will be avxoo. &cry attempt Wiz peili N ATIONAL PROVIDENT INSTITUTION, 44, Gracechurch-street, London.

II roe Rio grmt Wyly of the We. - - It is a lamentable fact that the efforts of the -14 , era1 party—the. party of prosress:--aMong us have of late been paralysed brpersonali'aud see.' Clonal animosities. The 'restoration of peace will remove some of the most prolific sources of this mischievous discord. Questions relating to the expediency of a peace or war policy will be placed in abeyance. Personal soreness, arising from cri ticism of the manner in which the war has been conducted, will cease. We retain our own opinion as to the essential merits of the controversies that have been waged ; but we are'free to admit that— as on all occasions when men's passions have been excited by serious disputer—there has been more of personal asperity on all sides than can be justi-, fled. We care not to inquire who have been the first offenders, or who have been most. to blame. All have probably been in the wrong in this mat ter. But in the name of the people we protest against the perpetuation of this embitterment and isolation. The sincere .and earnest friends of Progress do not differ as to the general principles of a Liberal policy. The urgency of steady, practical, progressive amelioration of our insti tutions is recognismi by all who deserve the name of Liberals. It is unseemly that the forces of the party should be frittered away by the separate independent action of sections, when by mutual arrangement the objects of all might be attained. The national mind was never in so apt' a frame for the promotion of great im provements as at the present moment. The frank and fearless manner in which the defects of our in stitutions are canvassed, re,ga . rdlciss of the impres sion the avowals of our ehortcomings may make upon other nations, is an infallible proof of the people's determination to have them amended. We do not care to confess our faults to each other, in the hearing of censorious strangers, because we are bent upon discovering their nature and extent with a view to a thorough reform. It is the duty of the Liberal leaders, regardless of past personal differences, to unite and turn to the best account this happy mood of the national mind. It is only necessary for them to adopt a clearly defined and practical policy to ensure to them such an amount of popular support as no party in this or any other country ever enjoyed. They have it is their power to introduce such awielierations into all ad ministrative departments as will combine economy with efficiency ; to efface , such remnants of obsolete legislation as survive only to provoke sectarian asperities ; to abolish such laws as still trammel the free exercise of talent and enterprise in indus trial pursuits and rankle in the minds of the less I favoured of fortune ; to remove such obstacles as ~i.tntrederthe advaiiiTernent in the public service cif those in whom ability and honourable ambition are not associated with influential connexion, and perpetuate class animosities. A nobler field was nei'er opened for the display of the true genius of the statesman. All that fs required is, that the leaders of the various sections of the Liberal party shall frankly lay aside their personal animosities, and throw themselves upon a people who are not exacting, though determined to have justice done them by their rulers. We appeal to the generous ambition—to every better' feeling of our public, men. Shall our appeal be in vain ? (From the Morning Herald of this day.) Who shall make our money laws ? It may, per haps, be thought unnecessary to ask this question in a country where all subjects of grave import ance are submitted to that undefinable phrase " the wisdom of Parliament." We are not vet in formed whether Lord Palmerston will be able to find a place in her Majesty's Speech in reference to this matter ; hut we feel, neverthless, that it is one that no Minister can throw to the winds, under the plea of more urgent business, in the coming session of Parliament. The circumstances of the past year have clearly pointed out to every man, who is not blinded by interest or prejudice, that the charter which has been granted to the Bank of England under the Act of 1844, must un dergo a complete revision, and that a committee of inquiry by both houses must form the preliminary to any legislation upon the subject. Bat we may remark, that to render such an inquiry useful in its widest sense, the committees entrusted to ex amine this important question should notbe chosen from members who are already known to entertain certain dogmas which have rendered the present money laws so prejudicial to the commercial and trading interests of the country, nor from an iso lated class whom, interest it is to maintain the pre emit state of things ; but they should be composed of independent and intelligent Members, eelceted from both houses, passing over the Woods, Rus sells, and men of that class, who contrived in 1848 to frame a report which sanctioned the maintenance of the Act of 1848, in the face of evidence which most forcibly condemned it as the aggravating cause of the panic and distress in 1847. If the country in any future inquiry select men of the same predilections, the same farce will be repeated, and the Bank charter will be prolonged for a further period of ten years. In the meantime, it may be well to remind our readers, and those interested in the subject, of the names to whom the country is indebted for the con tinuance of this law. On the motion of Mr. Hume, in 1848, " That in the opinion . of this committee, the laws fur regulating-the 'issue of bank-notes, payable on demand, aggravated the commercial distress in England in 1847," the following votes were given on each side AYES.

But it must be borne in mind that there is yet a small knot of Government supporters who are rigidly wedded to the Peel and Jones Loyd theories, and although they are not numerous they exercise an immense influence over the present Cabinet. The most extreme of these is probably Baron Overstone (late Jones Loyd), who has us* d every possible influence at his command, not only to maintain the present law, but to show by argu ment that it cannot be improved. In any future in quiry, however, he may be called upon to exorcise his judgment, not as a witness, but ts a legislator in the matter. The country is so thoroughly aroused to the necessity fer a consideration of the question that it cannot be allowed to slumber.

We imay here refer to an error which has bceu extensively promulgated—namely, that they who complain should be prepared with a remedy against the re- ' currence of evils from which they suffer. We do not see !the necessity of this. it is Government that ought to provide a remedYagainst ail national evils ; and, in order to do so in the most effectual manner, it has placed at its command full power to obtain all the necessary evidence as a founda tien for its legislative enactments ; and we do not think that the Parliament of 1856 can devote its intelligence and its energies to a subject of greater • importance than that of a wise and judicious con sideration of our money laws. SOIREE TO THE MEMBERS FOR MAN- The annual soiree to the inembers for Manchester was given on Monday evening, at the cairn Exchange. Frown seven to eight hundred persons were present. Arr. G. Wilson presided, and was supported, on the right band, by the Right Hor. T. Milner Gibson, M.P., atid General Thompson ; and on the left by Mr. John Bright, M.P.„ and Mr. Jag. Heywood, M.P. These gentlemen wtre received with loud cheers on enterinq the Exeliarro. Amongst other gentlemen present were Sir Ellotnah Armitage, Mr. Alderman Watkins, and Mr. Edmund Ashworth. After some opening remarks fpna the Chairman, The Right lion. T. M. G/BSON arldrased the meting ai, some length in vindication of the support he had given to the peace party in the House of Commons. The war, he said, had interrupted measures of axial im provement, but he thOuglit we began to eee daylight, even in respect to the war. (Applause.) A large patch of blue sky had made its appeitiance in what was before a dark and cloudy atmosphere ; a,nd, from all he could heir, there seemed to be a very good chance of peace being concluded at an ear ly day. (Applaure.) Re Thought that «home who might he regarded as The_ prie- . . eipal supporters of the war ought to be satisfied with the proposed solution, but he believed that it was not one whit better, as a security. to Europe, than the solu tion proposed by Austria last May. (Hear, hear, anti a cry of " Not a bit.") Whether it was limitation, counterpoise, or neutralisation, that was written upon paper, be believed that it was pretty much the same. He was perfectly catiefied with the proposal now made, just as he was with that of May last. (Hear, hear.) But it might occur to the minds of the meeting, that in May last Sebastopol was not taken, and though we had gone to Vienna professing to be desirous to make peace, we did sot really like the idea of making peace on any thane, till we had had some great military success. They 14new there had been from the beginning a peace party in the British Cabinet. Lord John Russell had left that Cabinet,, but his spirit was left behind him. Only a short time since a great office in the Cabinet became; vacant, and what wad the cour propoied to bo adopted at that time ? Why, t , ) fill that office by the app6intrnent of an eminent member of the peace party. Did not that look as if there was a wic:n in high quarters to make that party stronger in the Cabinet ? If they had not in view the desire to have the means of making ileac,., would they have invited a ger tleman S. Herbert to join the A.dtninistratiiir, Why, he remembered his savinv, in the House ot Com mons, but a very short time before, "It may be asked why I, who was for war, am now for peace. My answer is, how c n I he for war, when I believe the obj , n3ts for which I undertook it are attained. or are attainable ?' And more than that, he said, "To pursue a war after its objects are attaioe3, for mere military success, woald ba criminality ind , eil," These were the wards of Mr. S. Herbert. He (Mr. Gibson) had never heard that he had changed his opinions ; and vet with Oat, before the public, the Ministry, enteri.a'ning—as he was sure the.r must entertain—a tnot profound contempt for the sort of confusion of mind that seemed to have rnn through 6101110 part of the press England in reference to the condition and wishes. cf Go7ernment—in contempt as it appeared to him, of t'iat eoufuston of mind, they offixed their eery first great office, in Cm of day. to an eminent member of the peace party. In doing this he he. lieved they were actuated by a desire to bring mull mo. deration into their councils, and to be able to resist th.it reckless desire for war, which had its origin in, o.nd which was supported by, passion and net reason. They were beginning to see the difficulties of their position : and find that the war feelin,7 of the country would tarry tl:ent further than they intended to ,-;•o. . They feared tber should go out of their depth, and they therefore thought they had better stre ~gt lien the p-e• - we party in the Ca,bi net. Accordingly, when they could not get Mr. S. Herbert, to whom did they go nex. ? Did they no to e g am i ng war man ? No, t l'tt•y went t Lord Stp.rley, a gnitlermin ionginz to the party of L 1 , 1 Derby, but who had dis tingai,shed Li•us , :tli in the 110130 of C;mmone by able speeches of a peace charaet% awl who la 3 been re- markahle from the commeneement for the sttteenian-like moderation with which he had treated this queetion. These were small eympt au, which. he ventured to think betokened the approach of peace ; and events seemed to justify that opinion, if peace be oroclaitioi, let us hope. there in-euid also he that union cf the great liberal party which the worthy chairm to referred ta. .if ttiat party be neited, rn I pledned itself to the great principles. depend upon it that in this country there would only be a feeble minority to oppose their poliey. Letthem. place np - .n the banner tie old motto of Lord Or'oy- 4, peace, retrench ment, rnd reform." (n non ere.) JOHN BRIGHT, Esq.. M.P., rose at 8 o'clock, and wa, received with prolonged cheering. He referred in detail to the terms of peace which have been accepted by Rtt,. she as prelitninaries, expressing his opinion that they ate in themselves admirable, chiefly becalm) there is reason to believe they wiil lead to a pacification. Nevertheless, Russia, at the conclusion of the war would'remain one of the great powers of Europe, and its transactions in the different States would be pretty much on a parity with what they were heretofen . e. directed attention to the vast loss of life, el money, rind of material wealth which the contest has entailed upon the nations engane4 in it, and the addition it has occasioned-to the public debt of this country. Weber' host, "at a nenderatecomeutation 50,000 men ; France, 100,0u0 ; the Turks, 1.0,000 ; And Russia, .250,000. England had spent at le. rat 100,000,0001., and France an equal or a larger sum , and Russia pal probably spelt fifty millions upon it. 1. believe the pre.- sent Emperor of the French bat added more to the debt of Fran, e by thi, two y e;on:' war than his uncle did throughout the wholo of tis career." Tiniaela had taken during the war at least twice as many prisoners as the allies had takes from her, and " not withstanding the allies pessess certain points of the Ru :- elan territory in the south, Russia is in possession at this monr.nt of ten times mare equate miles belonging to the ailing than the allies are of Russia. They have Kars, the capital of the prot ince of Ararenia, nod, but for the in tervention of the weather, now would have beau iii Er zorouni, syn', in point - of tart in almostarnc. - ntented pos seaaion of the south side of the Black Sea." The hon. member then attacked the press with much bitterness. ‘, I will undertake to say," lie remarked, " that :•ltice the day when Ahab, at the bidding of 400 prophets, whose tongues Satan had gill:el with lies, went up to Ramceli Gilead to battle, there has not been a greater imposition practised upon any people than that by the writers for the public press of England upon us." Re then proceeded to sontrast the government of the United State% with that of England, with its " 40 or 50 dilapi dated peers," and State Church, and . fleets frowning upon and menacing every coast. He then referred to his alleged coalition with Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone, expressing his belief that a writer in the niece who made a statement to that effect, krieve at the time that " every syllable be wrote with respect to this matter Wee an absolute and unmitigated falsehood." Mr. Bright concluded with claiming consistency for his own so n n a dn n et throughout the whole of " this. eenhappy. slight degree of fortitude for the manner in which he had maintained his opinions. " I know very well, and ye la must know. that there are steeps of Alma in morals es well as on the frild of battle and of blood. (Hear.) W must borrow our metaphors front the events which page before us. If lam a political soldier, I strive to Lain the rank, and to confront unbleached all the bat teries that ridicule or malice may point against us. (Appiau ,, e.) I wish to pa-se on uninfluenced by the baits that seduce, and by the temptations that feed am bition. I wish to make a 'master of my political caree r ; and if I feel what I hold to be just and true above and beyond even the dignity of representing this great city in the imperial Parliament, I trust I shall not on that account be less worthy of that dignity to which your favour and confidence has raised me." The hoe. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud and repeated ap plause, having spoken for an hour and three-quarters. Major-General TuomrsoN said be was one of those who believed that there was a necessity to commence this war, but as it offered no hope for the promotion of liberty, and as it bad been so badly directed, he thought it was time to stop it. Mr. J. HEYWOOD, M,P., had supported the war, tor' ther with his colleague, Mr. Cheetham, but the terms now offered were satisfactory, and Russia .ought to be met in a conciliatory spirit. kr. Alderman WATKINS then moved—" That our best thanks be given to our het:mutable representatives for their honest and patriotic conduct in the House of Com mons, in upholding the interests of their own , constitu ents and the constitutional rights of the pe:;plt, at large." k a s resolutionbe given Alderman Sir E.
