To make use of disconnected p ssages wrested from ,he r legitimate connection; to tike the isolated opinions and feel ings of discontented persons issued on their o en individual respon sibility as a tree and unquestionable index of the real state of throes in Wales, and int ntionally to withhold expre , sions which would have neutrall-ed and even counteracted the effrcts produced by the distorted portions gent , d, misconst ne and systemAically employ the whole tor party and sectarian purposes, they cannot but regard with mingled feelings of pity and Indignation, as being wholly un. worthy of the Chri , t.an character, the social position, and 'sacred functions of a Welsh Bishop, supported by Welsh revenues and ap: pointed protessedly for the advancement of the Welsh nation in charity, truth, and righteousness " OWEN MICHAEL, Chairman.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : "157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. "Sir,—ln , cquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking RLAIR'S G 'UT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. About twenty years since I was Brst attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every ♦a riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro ?.ured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some• thing of this disease. "It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time iti procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS :s towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. "To Mr. Front, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIit'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care. whatever in their use, and ter ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

Now publishing to Subscribers, in 2,400 imperial octavo pages, price 305., with Map corrected from recent Surveys, POST -OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for 1854. The work is printed in entirely new type from the Coelon and Glasgow Letter Foundry, and has been so greatly ex tended. that the " Strdet Directory" contains 131,842 distinct names or firms; these will be found correctly classified in all the other prlecipal divisions, Commercial, Trades, Law, and Court, all of which are increased in proportion to the great extension of the " Street Directory."

In the " Post-office Directory" the inhabitants of these places appear in all the alphabetical lists, so that the residence and calling of any one can be instantly traced in whatever part of the suburbs he may be located. Had the residents in these localities been segregated from all the others, and each published ONLY in a separate list, it would obviously have been impossible to discover the address or calling of any person residing in the environs of London. _ . " The Fost Office Direct,ry has long been the wonder of the pub world, a monument of private enterprise and ingenious labour wholly without parallel."—Morning Herald. Nov. 4, 1853. " The recentness of the compilation in its several departments is really astonishing. The indices are very numerous, and immensely facilitate reference to the various sub-divisions of the book. There is a Street Index, a Trades Index, a Law Index, a Postal Index, a Parliamentary Index, besides the General Index at the beginning." —Morning Advertiser, November 4, 1853. . _ "Th. work deserves much praise tor the accuracy which pervades it. and for the lateness of the information which it affords.—Morn ing Chronicle, November 4, 1853. " Altogether this is by far the completest Directory yet produced, both as regards classification and typographical execution." Illus trated News, November 5, 1853. " The difference between this and former editions of the Directory does not consist in mere enlargements; various important additions have been made. If It be true, as all our readers will be ready to admit, that there is no country like England, and no place like Lon don, it is a most consistent climax to add. and no guide book like the " Post Office Directory."—John Bull, November 5, 1853. " It is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable and usefhl works of the age, and the manner in which the Messrs Kelly execute the task is deserving of the highest praise." Herapath's Journal, November b, 1853. " While this monster volume is a perfect desideratum for the &lice and the counting-house, it is an extraordinary specimen of the com bined arts of printing and bookmaitng."—Mining Journal. Novem ber 5, 1853. " The present volume has been greatly increased in size by the introduction of a large number of streets in the suburbs."—Weekly Dispatch, November 5, 1853. " The edition of this wonderful work has, to speak commercially, been enlarged some ten or fifteen per cent."—Spectator, November 5, 1853 " Messrs. Kelly and Co. have just produced their London Direc tory for 1854, and without increasing its price they have enlarged its propertions to such an extent that merely to look at it gives no in significant idea of the wonders of a city that demands such a work to register its multifarious fontents." —Atlas, Nov. 5, 1853. " The whole information has been brought up with great care AND ACCURACY to the 19th of September."— Sunday Times, November 6, 1853. " A notice of this gigantic volume, proportioned to 10 size and value, would occupy our whole paper—we say its size and value, for they hold a perfectly equal measure."—Standard, Nov. 7, 1853. " Already the Messrs. Kelly and Co. had actually distanced the most enterprising of their competitors. They have now rendered it preposterous tbr any other compile, to dream of emulating their ex aordinary enterprise."—Sun, November 7, 1853.

Our readers have now had time to weigh and consider in all its original audacity the manifesto of the Russian Emperor in justification of a Turkish war. The reserve judiciously imposed in this country upon public writers by public opinion, to gether with the respect conventionally held due to the Governments of independent States, might have prevented us from characterising this docu ment as it deserved, if the Czar himself had not dissolved the rules of such decorum by assailing with the most opprobrious epithets the manifesto of his antagonist. The declaration of the Turkish Government is styled by that of Russia a " lying proclamation," although every reader in Europe is perfectly aware that the Ottoman State paper was not only, as regarded the question with Russia, incontestably true, but was also couched in lan guage of notable moderation and forbearance. It is by the Czar, and not by the Sultan, that truth has been set at nought ; nor can we conceive how such a document as we published on Saturday could be expected to produce any effect upon European opinion except such as would be most unfavourable to the Russian cause. With an unscrupulousness for which terms, we doubt not, will be found even in Parliamentary language, the manifesto of the Czar actually drags other Governments into its own false position, and appeals to the policy of foreign States as support ing the views and resolutions of Russia against Turkey. " The chief Powers of Europe," says this document, have sought in vain by their exhorta tions to shake the blind obstinacy of the Ottoman Government," which " has responded to their pacific efforts by a declaration of war." Anything more audaciously untrue than this assertion was never uttered in a State paper. The " exhorta tions" of European Powers were never directed to any such ends, or based upon any such opini ons as are'here described. They wero. addressed e to the Turks, it is true, in deprecation of war, but with the free and notorious acknowledgment that this war had been rendered actually justifiable by the Czar's own acts. No European Powers endeavoured to " shake the obstinacy" of the Porte by counselling a submission to Prince Menschikoff's demands ; on the contrary, these Powers did all, in formal conference, prepare a Note which they intended to nullify those de mands altogether. They only dissuaded war, be cause war was dangerous to Europe, and because it was believed that the just claims of Turkey, or, in other words, the withdrawal of the Russian demands, could be secured by more desir able means. And, though it is true that the Porte at last issued a declaration of war against the still pacific views of its supporters, this step was cer tainly not taken until the provocations and insults of Russia had been outrageously protracted. The " spirit of long-suffering," professed by the Czar, was in reality exhibited, under the advice of Europe, by the Sultan ; and at this moment the Ottoman forces are only engaged in expelling intruders from territories appertaining to the Ottoman Crown. The mere scene of the war is enough, in the pre sent case, to prove which party has been the ag gressor. A moment's consideration of the actual state of affairs will place in its proper light these astound ing pretensions on the part of Russia to the sym pathies of the " Chief Powers of Europe." Not only, as we have said, did all these Powers in Con ference agree, first to supersede Prince Menschi koff's note by a note of their own, and next to accept modifications proceeding directly from the Ottoman Government, but they have since unmis takeably placed themselves either in plain oppo sition to Russian purposes, or in a position aloof from the dispute. Two of these " Chief Powers" are actually in arms on the side of Turkey, while the two others, though they have not joined in this overt demonstration, have neverthe less declared, as plainly as circumstances permitted, that they disapproved the Russian cause. After all the experiments of personal cajolery brought in aid of political intrigue, the Czar was compelled to learn from his own observation that neither Aus tria nor Prussia would second him in his designs against the Porte, and the Sovereign who thus unblushingly appeals to the sanction of Europe is absolutely without the sympathy of a single Euro pean Government. All may not think alike respecting the determination to push the case to the issue of the sword ; but all are of one accord upon the character of those acts by which the dis pute was originally created. The Czar now claims " reparation" for the "insults" he has received. That he has received no insults whatever, but has experienced, on the contrary, remarkable consideration, not only from the Porte, but from all the Governments of Eu rope, is perfectly notorious. His demands upon Turkey, whether " just," as he now describes them, or " unjust," as the mediating Powers unanimously concurred in considering them, were such, at any rate, as the Turkish Government had the option of refusing. Upon this refusal he marched his troops into territories depending upon the Ottoman Crown, avowedly for the purpose of putting force upon the Ottoman Government, and seizing, as he himself declared, " a material gua rantee" for the concession of all he required. During the long interval of this occupation Turkey did absolutely nothing but collect her own forces. Under the advice of her supporters, she suspended from day to day the hostilities which the Czar was continuously provoking, and when at last her declaration of war was issued, it was so framed that no possible exception could be taken to its views of the pending quarrel. One of two courses, indeed, Turkey was compelled to adopt. When the Czar invaded the Principalities the Sultan could either attack the Russians or leave them alone. For six months he adhered to the latter policy, which constitutes the whole of his " in sults ;" be has now chosen the former, which the Czar perhaps, by such reasoning, may think a " reparation." On the broad question concerning the Ottoman empire and its position we have expressed, as our readers know, a decided opinion ; but, on the particular quarrel between the Sultan and the Czar, or on the merits of Russia in the case thus created, we have never seen room for more than one conclusion ; nor has there, indeed, to the best of our belief, been any argument openly advanced in any country of Europe on behalf of the policy of the Czar. Turkey had neither violated nor evaded any treaties at all. No instances were ever alleged by the Russian Government of such beha viour on the part of the Porte, while, on the other hand, the Czar himself disclaimed all intention of extorting any new concessions. We have thus a warlike manifesto, grounded upon the necessity of securing " a faithful observance of treaties," with out a single allegation in proof of such treaties having been infringed. We have a Government, which for six months has been maintaining one continued act of aggression, taking credit to itself for its spirit of " long suffering." We have a con fident appeal to Europe, after a European decision against the appellant. We have a grave resolution of an offender to punish an offence, and we have the whole of these unscrupulous declarations con cluded with a verse from the Psalms ! Surely, the verdict of the world upon such a proceeding may be safely anticipated. (From the Morning Chronicle.) There is no treaty between England and Ru ssia which would be violated by the advance of our fleet from the Bosphorus to the Black Sea. The Porte was bound, by the treaty of 1840, to prohibit the passage of the Straits by the naval forces of foreign nations, except in time of war ; but, as the excepted contingency has now occurred, the fleet of any power in Europe is at liberty , wit h the Sultan s permission, to sail through the Dardanelles.and the Bosphorus. It is only on th e presuniption that hostile intentions would be indicated by such a movement, that the Russian Governinent can have any right to protest againt the appearrce o Eng lish or French ships in waters over which annou no pow ce er I can claim exclusive sovereignty. Tn 1 ment, therefore, th a t the advance of any portion 1 of the allied fleets will be considered a declaration of war, will be treated by the Western Govern- ments as nugatory. Admiral Du ndas will exercise his own judgme nt as to the destination of the ves sels entrusted to his charge, and he will be fully able to repel any interference which may be at tempted by the Russian authorities. It must be admitted that the Emperor has a perfect right to g uard him self against demonstra tions avowedly intended to sup Turkey ; nor can he be blamed support the ca use o f taking the ini tiative in a contest which he m for may perceive to be unavoidable. But if the a fleets in the Black Sea is appearance of the allied war, no further commentaryequivalent to an act of mendacious insinuation of is required on the that the Great P f the Imperial manifesto, Powers and disapproved " the o Europe have condemned man Government," blind obstinacy of the Otto- Russia in the At one time, me,the advocates of presence of press affected to believe that the the fleets at Constantinople would ( into C on o: plian c ce a wi a th e ." m 4 ) o e ri i r c ) :o e e P. t of aggressor. The Imperial C: . net now a 9 -1 v ges the true import of . 4 1 act which no long dmits of misrepresentation ; but the menace of war against the Western Powers contrasts awk wardly with the exhortation to continue their Pacific negotiations. The circular to which we refer, like all the pre vious diplomatic documents which have recently ' emanated from the same quarter, seems inconsis tent with the reputation for ability which the Fo reign-office of St. Petersburg has heretofore enjoyed. Long experience in underhand intrigues appears to have rendered Count Nesselrode, or those who act in his name, incapable of maintaining the plausible dignity which ought to characterise solemn inter national communications. The notorious misstate ment as to the advance of the fleets to Besika Bay, was as injudicious as the unseasonable paper of ex planations which relieved the allied Powers from all embarrassment with respect to the Vienna Note. The Czar's declaration of war has excited the ridi cule as well as the indignation of Europe, and the new circular combines an imprudent threat with an implied confession of weakness. Count Nessel rode gratuitously promises that, in the present struggle, Russia will remain on the defensive, and will abstain from passing the Danube. It is remark able that so uncalled-for an act of moderation should coincide with events which enable all the 'world to understand " the reason why." With a Turkish army in Wallachia, it is a safe display of pacific in tentions on the part of Russia to undertake not to cross the Balkan. A week ago, there would have been found journals ready to applaud the self-con trol of an irresistible conqueror, but the sycophants of fortune have already abandoned the cause which they had long supported in defiance of justice, and in disregard of the interests and honour of Eng land. It must not, however, be forgotten, that any serious reverse suffered by the Ottoman army would revive their dormant sympathies for the in vader. As for the Czar's promise to renounce fur ther aggressions on Turkey, the Minister who should trust to such a pledge, if the road to Con stantinople were open, would scarcely deserve the name of a statesman. Before the Porte had " re fused to confess its errors, or to give satisfaction to just reclamations," incendiary proclamations were addressed to the Russian army, both from St. Pe tersburg and at Bucharest, in which a war of con quest was promised, aid a march on Constanti nople not indistinctly indicated. Since that time, Turkey has, it seems, given additional provocation to Russia ; and-yet no fkartAer aggression is to be attempted. It was not n&cessary for Count Nes selrode to explain that, iin the interval, Omer Pacha had received the reinforcements which have enabled him to carry the war into the heart of Wallachia. The affected moderation of the assurance that Russia will be content with the plunder she has already seized is, of course, intended to serve as an argument against the interference of the Western Powers. Yet it is scarcely seemly, in a formal di plomatic communication, to implycontempt for the understandings of those to whom it is . addressed. Lord Clarendon and M. Drouyn de L.huys have long since severally declared the views ce' England and France on the position of the invading , army in Moldavia and Wallachia. Russia bad no pretext for seizing Turkish territories in time of peace ; and there is no reason why she should not pats the Danube in time of war, should such an operation be strategically practicable and expedient. The West ern Powers demand, not that the campaign shall 1143 conducted in a particular manner, but that it shah be rendered unnecessary, by the immediate retreat of the invader, and the withdrawal of his unreason able claims. Whether an unprovoked war is carried. on in one part of the Sultan's dominions or in another, is a question wholly immaterial to the issue. Until the desired object is attained, England and France will continue, as Count Nesselrode desires, their efforts for the restoration of peace ; and it is not impossible that one step in the process may consist in the appearance of the allied fleets off the coast of Bessarabia or of the Crimea. If the attitude of the Turkish armies has converted a crusade for the orthodox faith into a defensive war in the Danubian Principalities, a fur ther application of the wholesome stimulus of fel‘u. may probably complete a satisfactory arrangement , of the quarrel. Among the numerous false statements which make up the text of the Russian manifesto, there is none more deliberate or more gross than the assertion that the Porte, in commencing hostilities on the Danube, has " enrolled in the ranks of its army the revolutionists of all countries." There was no reason whatever, so far as Russia was concerned, why Turkey should refuse the aid of the many brave and skilful officers who would. rejoice to serve, under whatever flag, against the Power which revolutionised Poland, and which completed the revolution by which Hungary was overthrown. If Austria had imprudently yielded to the solicitations of Russia, there is no doubt that many a gallant refugee would have gladly engaged in a war which, in such a case, must soon have spread across the Carpathians. But in promising and maintaining strict neutrality, the Court of Vienna had a right to stipulate that the Hungarian exiles should not appear in arms on the borders of Transylvania; and there is no ground for asserting that Omer Pacha has, in any instance, violated this understanding. The brave volun teers who may be guiding the inexperience of the Turkish levies on the Asiatic frontier are at pre sent resisting, and not aiding, a revolutionary attempt. There is no honest man in England or France who would not rejoice in a successful at tempt on the part of Poland to shake off the Rus sian yoke ; and should the war which has com menced be of long duration, the Emperor's advisors will do well to guard against such a danger. .A.t present, however, it is utterly false to insinuate that Turkey or her allies have favoured even the justest attempt at revolution. A foreign Power which encourages a rebellion against a hostile Sove reign undertakes the responsibility of guaranteeing the insurgents against the consequences of their enterprise. Belligerents hampered with such lia bilities are no longer at liberty to conclude peace on the arrangement of their original differences ; and it is in the necessity of guarding against inter minable war, that we may seek the justification of statesmen who deliberately abstain from embarras sing an adversary by exciting internal dissensions among his subjects. The Potentate who insolently imputes revolu tionary intentions to an enemy who merdy arms to repel a foreign invasion, himself commenced the dispute by requiring an innovation in the internal constitution of Turkey. If an attempted cha , nge in the rel a ti ons b e t ween the Sultan and his s k tb jects, effected under a menace of Russian intent 1r- Once, was not a revolutionary act, political tern is have lost their meaning. Rochambeau and La fayette would scarcely have pretended that, in serving under Washington, they were no aging revolutionary tendencies to the rt de t r i mentencour of the English Government. The on l y_ di erence be tween the two cases is, that young Frenchmen in with republicans, which it 1778 felt a sympathy would be absurd to attribute to Prince Menschi koff, or to his master, in relation to the Christian population of Turkey. en have not negooiated Thus far, Russian stattesro be seen whether Russian wisely; and it remains errors of their superiors. generals can redee Bad e aly conferred a great service some of the most devoted g s t u h spi a c n io d n m th e a a t n th n e nn y have ning r mistaken bluster fo r h assta g into s stren gth, e a n for Machiavellian wisdom.
