POSTSCRIPT.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL RUSSIAN NOTE.
THE second missive of Count Nesselrode—that ad-
dressed specially, and, as it appears, with very im-
portant results, to the Austrian Government—is at
length published in the Berlin Zeit, which reached
London yesterday. As the note was originally
written in French, the following version, being tie.
rived from the German journals, has passed through
a double process of translation :

66 EXAMINATION OE THE THREE MODIFICATIONS WHICH
THE OTTOMAN P 4 wrE HAS INTRODUCED INTO THE

AUSTRIASI

" Ist. The Prlljel of Vienna declares, If at all times
the tlinperors of Russia have borne witness to their mike
%oh Elude for the maintenance of the inivileges and i 1111 l 'u-
nities of the orthodox Greek Church in the 1 moluato em-
pire, the Sultans have never refused to consecrate them
again by so] acts.' This passage has been modified as
tollows :—• If at all times the Emperors of Russia have
borne witness to their active solicitude for the worship of

the orthodox Greek Church, the Sultana have never ceased '
to watch over the maintenance of the ininninitiew and pri-
vile.te% of that worship and tot that Church iu the Otontan
empire, and to conseerate them again—'
" These words, ' in the (Mutual' empire,' and thew, ' the
maintenance of the immunities and privileges. &c.,' are
suppressed in tinier to he platted below, anti to be applied
exclusively to the Sultans. This suppression takes away
the whole signification, and even the entire sense, of the
tilated passage ; for nobody deities to the Sovereigns of
Russia their active solicitude fier the faith which they pro-
fess themselves, anti which is that of their subjects. That
which it was wished not. to ristognise is, that at all times
Russia has shown all active solicitude for its co-religiouists
in Turkey, and for the maintenance of their riligillUS
franchises, and that the Government is resolved to adhere
to that solicitude. and to pretwrve these privileges intact.
" The turn given to the phrase is SO 'h the more un-
acceptable, because, by the expressions which follow, there
is attributed to the Sultans re titan solicitude for the
orthodox worship. It is affirmed that they have never
ceased to watch over the maintenance of these immunities
and privileges, and to confirm them by solemn acts. The
facts are diametrically contrary to what is here affirmed ;
anti, considering what has taken place more than 'owe
lately, anti especially the affitir of the Holy Places, we
are tOrced to meek a remedy for them by requiring more
positive guarantees for the fut ore.
" if we consent 10 acknowledge that the Ottoman Govern-
ment has never ceased to watch over the maintenance of
the privileges of the Greek I. Ittarch, what then bets omes of
the complaints which we have raised against it ? We
should be -selves admitting by it that we have no sub-
stantial wrongs, that the mission of Pri nee Mmoseitikoff was
without ttttt tive, and, in a word, that the note which has been
addressed to us is itself superfluous.
"end. These omissions and additions of words, which
are made here with a striking affectation, have ev Wendy the
of of enfeebling the treaty of Kainardji, whilst as•
sliming the appearance of confirming it. The wording of
the note first adopted at Vierna was Faithful to the letter
and to the spirit of the Rtipulations of the treaties of Kaki-
ardji and Adrianople, relative to the protection of the ( Kris-
tian worship, the Sultan regards it as due to 116 1111111/UT to
preserve from all attacks the immunities and privileges se-
conded to the orthodox Church.' The reading which would
turn aside the spirit of the treaty, that is to say, from the •
general principle laid down in the Stir article relative to
the maintenance id immunities, applies to the view which
we had expressed. and to which we still hold ; for,
in our opinion, the pr *se to protect a worship and
its churches comprises within it the maintenance of
the immunities which they possess. The two things
am inwjarable. This reading, first adopted at
Vienna was afterwards subjected at London and at Paris
to a mOdification; and if at that time we did not raise any
objection, as we had a right to do, it was not that we made
any illusion of the sense of the change. We perfectly cow-
) rehended the difference made between two points, which,
in respect to us. are inseparably united. But the distinc-
t on was indicated in a manner so delicate that, in the
sl irit of conciliation, and in the desire to arrive as soon as

'they bring forward wits t any necessity the fact that the

ttrd. The muddiest' introdueed into this passage of
the Austrian note is especially inadmissible. The i Ittu'

ma'', should he accorded Its them, to the th•triniont of the
native coominunitics."
The German papers which bring this supplemen
tary manifesto expriss universal astonishment and
surprise at the latest nuts' uttered by Russia; and the
usually sober Culoysie Gazette brads its leading
article with the words, " Russia declares against the
Vienna Conference." It asks pertinently whether
England and France can, after such declarations,
and such authentic interpretation on the pert of
Russia, intercede with the Sublime Porte any further
to make those peitithlank concessions, which all the
negotiations were intended to modify and to neutralise?
"On this tleeision," continues our I iermati contem-
porary, " not only the present time, lout future ages,
will have to pronounce judgment."
'l'he Zeit itself, on publishing this despateli, be.
lieves war between Turkey and Russia inevitable. It
says :—" Even the expedient—that the Pleura (!ton-
ference should declare the Turkish interpretation of
the Vienna note as erroneous, and should add an
authentic interpretation, which might have tended to
dissipate the apprehensions of Turkey—hat been
thus quashed in advance, since the Russian Cabinet
has, in examining the changes introduced by Turkey,
laid the greatest stress on those points most objected
to by the Porte."
The Neste Peeing. Zeit. remarks :—" The tone
which pervades heti' docitments 'ninths of no doubt
that England and France have abandoned all thought
to support. Turkey in its resist tenet ; and the news
from London and Paris proves that. the English and
French fleets will, if need be, perform a very different
part than flint assigmsl tO them by the Liberal press
and the war party in Constantinople."

ANOTHEN LITTLE " FRACAS" AT SIIITENA.—The liar
dinian man-of-war Aurora, which cruises on the
coasts of the Levant for the instruction of the marine
dives, entered almost simultaneously with the AUM
Irian frigate A'fwara the harbour of swyros. As the
latter carried the broad pennant of an admiral, the
commander of the Aurora despatched as usual au
officer to know whether the Austrian ship would re
tarn his salute. The commtualer of the Novara
gave an affirmative answer, but obwrved that, as be
had no tricolour gag 01, the old Sardinian (sky
blue) would be hoisted. This the Sardinian corn
mender would not agree to, and no salutations on
either part took pliwe.-11alia v I'opulo.
VIENNA, Sept. 114.—The French Minister, M. de
Bourqueney, had yesterday a long conference with
Count Buol Schottenstein, at which the Russian
envoy was also present. It is stated that M. de
Bourqw:ney had made declarations as satisfactory as
eetailed, relating to the line of policy to be observed
1 y the French Government in the Oriental question.
On this occasion M. de B. has made to the Austrian
Cabinet two must positive assurances—that France
lttlly shares the views of the Vienna Court relating
to the Koasta affair, and that the Court of the
Tuileries i. quite ready to participate in the proceed-

TMs Howes if the New World : Impreseinns of
America. Fredrika Bremer. London :

Hall and Co.

THE‘F volumes are not free from mental giddi-
ness. Miss Bremer has been partly spoiled
by the praise she has received. The simplest
characters are the soonest misled by noisy
admiration, and, as the natural result of their
amiable innocence, they take fur more than it
is worth the attention whieh in these days is
sure to follow any kind of celebrity. The
first novels of Miss Bremer charmed us by
their freshness and candour. Though ex-
aggerated in parts. they had nu manner of
'tenoned vanity or pretence : but in this pro-
duction Fredrika Bremer is herself the pro-
minent character, and impresses us with an
idea of her importance rather than of her good
sense.
We mil( lady tourists among the pleasantest
writers of our day. Their facalties of Aber-
%ation are lively if not profeemel, and their
perception is so quiek, the heart and mind,
throbbing in unison. are so readily roused by
the eve, that description, thought, and senti
anent are commonly blended in every page
recording the novel impressions of travel.
They spare ns statistic., but they give us emo-
tion ; and for accuracy of detail we have pano
mink grouping and effect.
Unluckily. they are apt tee get out of their
depth by writing un matters they do not
understand, while their susecietibility—pleas-
ing even is its manes—leads them to dilate
and colour strongly whatever relates Immo
(Hatay to themselves. Moving iu a narrow
sphere, they think little of the distant., while
magnitSing what is at hand. The positive
faculty in them is ardent, but the comparative
weak. Miss Bremer seems to have been
intoxicated by the sensation her presence
excited in America. '• I feel myself," she
writes, a month alter her arrival at New York,
tee be drinking neetar, spiritually and bodily.
It is a divine drink, but almost too potent
" for a weak mortal—at least as an every-day
beverage. The excess of social intercourse
is also too exciting, however charming and

" agreeable it may be."
she tells us that till she mune to America
she but imperfectly understood the poetry of
human action. " I have long had a presenti
meutof the romance of life in its infinite great-
" ness and depth of feeling. Clouds.
" however. veiled it for a moment : now,
" again. I behold it, and I predict that for its
•• perfect daybreak 1 shall have to thank
" Amerira. My lift'. also, in and with this
" new world assumes a romantic fortu." An
explanation of this rupture may perhaps be
found On the Oppottite page ; where, speaking
of her commencement. of a journey on the
Hudson, she rays:—" We had not been long
"On board before the captain sent to offer
" • Miss Bremer and her friends ' free liassage
"by the steamer as well as hy the railway of
" the liudsou. And thus. by means of my.
" good name and Ameriean politeness, we
" sailed down the Iludson in the WArfil,

" warfare against kindness. politeness. and
curiosity, duringwhieh 1 often man weary and
" worn out ; often. also. 1 feel the wafting in•
• fluenee of an extraordinary youthfulness and
eijoyment gush through my soul." She
writes in another place "My soul hail wings,
•• and the whole world was mine." At one
tune she is like " a princess iu a fairy tale :"
and at another she is moved by inspiration.
" One thing 1 kuow,-1 must go there [to New
"Orleans', t:oniething within tells me so,
• something which 1 must call the inward
light, the inward voice, and which guides nu-,
