LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY ft

Was the English Cabinet's unanimous rejsMiew.
atm a week's animated debate, of Lord 101131 Ise
proposal to somas& a pesos en the tem
brought famed by Count Boot., a mat hipeihmt
chapter in the bbbery of the present oongliimilene Of
Eager dosed. That subject has bees if he. ad&
Moody ventilated in Parliament and the pose; them
would be no use in re-opening the disemion now.
A fragment of the sooseeding chapter hoe already
beat published by BILVISTIII DE BACT in the
JOlWfbla a• DE6ell, and that is of anflishat it
pleases to demand immediate notion,
A few days after the close of the Opahnseas
at Visalia, Count Bum. transmitted an amount of the
whole proceedings to Count VALIIITINZ Ernalusi,
the Austrian Plenipotentiary at Bt. Petersburg. The
attendee of Count /brim= was called, at the
some time, to the new obligations which the ebony
of circumstances imposed upon Austria : he yes

also inetraeted to oomsunio►ta the despatches to
Coast Nimmons, and, if required, to leave a copy
of them with that Moister. This attend= on the
part of Grant Bum, was reiponded to by Count Nss-
SELZODI in a note, dated the sth of July, addressed
to Prince 001TCHAKOTF, the Russian Ambassador at

Vienna, with orders to coommunkate it to the Aus-
trian Minister. These orders were carried into *ne-
gation in a confasecoe, which took pleas between

and Count BIIOL ci

the 12th of July. In Count Nasesutona's
Note he expresses the most unbounded and
unqualified approbation of the course pursued
by Count BOOL throughout the Conferences. The
bet proposals of Count Bum. are declared to be
snob as Russia would have accepted with one or two
unessential modifications. Count NESSELEODE COM.
plains bitterly of the refusal of the plenipotentiaries
of the Western Powers to proceed to the discussion
of the fourth point before the third had been finally
adjusted; and declares that this article, which would
have placed the Christian subjects of the Porte
under the protection of the European Powers, was
the most essential of all. More importaat, however,
than any part of CountNassus.ople note yet adverted
to, are two passages to which we now invite attention.
The first declares that Russia views with satisfaction
the occupation of the Danubian Principalities by
Austria. ("L'itsdrich• relit camper lesprinciparlis :
c'ed east tads: pow sent le sseside.") And Count Nes-
=Lanni protests that so fez from Russia's wishing to
engage in a war against Austria, the armies of Russia
are now, as formerly, at the service of Austria.
("M. do Neeeelrode rewound& see prodestations centre
radenlios pretee a la Rudd de faire la pare a
'absinths. Urte idle guerre eet impossible ; les ar-
gosies do la .Rnssie oat fl 4 el pennon! encore aro au
service de l'Aidriclee ; eller no la consballront ?-
weals.") The subtle Cabinet of St. Petersburg has
the Austrian Government in its toils. The conti-
nued occupation of the Principalities is guaranteed
by Russia to Austria ; the Eastern question is placed
en a new basis (the protection of the Christian races
in Turkey), in order to afford Auatria a pretext for
changing sides; and the support of Russian armies is
promised to Austria.

la the meadow, Prussia has not been idle. On
the sth of July • note from the Prussian Minister
was communicated to Count Buot.. This document
contains some unmeaning promises as to what Prus-
sia would do in the event of Russia's invading the
Principalities or threatening Germany. The value of
those promises may be judged by the circumstance
that Count NISSILIDDI'S note declaring the sada-
fiction of Russia at seeing the Principalities oc-
cupied by Austria is also dated the 6th of
July. No reasonable man can doubt that
the terms of the Prussian and Bosnian notes
were concerted between the two Courts. The real
meaning of the Prussian note is to be sought in a
antes°, in which M. M•tinterraL recommends that
Austria and Preemie should rest satisfied with ex-
pressing, in general terms, their approbation of each
other's past policy, without entering into awkward
explanations. (" Borsose-wno. d rscomsaars gas
were poling*, et to miaow ont /if stoles, et pardons-
isms de procoqusr des esplicalions dangerous's.")
This is Peachwm and Lockits rerenciliation
over again : " Brother, brother, we are both in
the wrong." And, according to M. SILVESTRI DE
&CT, this re•approximation of Austria and Prussia
has already ripened into an entente cordial*. The
Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna have opened cosimai-
eations with those of Dresden, Munich, and Stuttgard
(the coryphai of the Bamberg Conference), and ob-
tained their assent to the bases of a joint proposal to
be submitted to the Diet at Frankfort. The object
of this proposal is to persuade the Diet to declare :
That its thanks are due to Austria for her persevering
efforts to mtore peace ; that there is no necessity for
enlarging the engagements which the Germanic
States contracted towards each other on the 24th of
Isly, and the 9th of December, 1854 ; and that
4. with a view to the re-establishment of peace, and

in order to maintain and strengthen the union of Ger-
many, it is necessary that the Germanic Contedera-
doe, while persisting in its attitude of re-
serve, maintain provisionally the federal con-
tingents on the war footing agreed to on the Bth of
Februery, 1856." This lest article is a scarcely eon-
sealed menace to France and England. Ramia has
told Austria that she is welcome to keep the Princi-
palities, and has offered her the support of Russian
armies; Austria and Prussia invite the Federal Diet
to declare that it will keep its armies on a war foot-
ing with a view to enforce the return of peace.

And them ars the fruits of the " bated voles and
whispering humbleness" with which the Plenipoten-
tiaries of France and England spoke at the Vienna
Conferences. A storm is gathering in the north, and
it threatens to break over France and England.
The only way to avert the danger is for
France and England to forestal the conspirators.
The plot is not yet ripe for execution, and it never
will be if Russia is stricken down before it can be
folly matured. What is wanted in this emergency is,
not specious and sounding words, bat earnest and ex-
tended action on the part of the Western Govern-
ments. The war spinet Ramis must be pressed on with
redoubled vigour. In the Crimea, if the allied
armies will not take the field, which the preponder-
ates of military opinion appears to reeommend ea
the most available mane, let the great siege pm be
without less of time augmented in number; far it
is clear that the It. of the defenders is at
this moment heavier than that of the ea-
asilasts. Let as hear no more of isolated
zesaltlem exploits like the cutting of the ferry-rope,

at Gesitchi, which the

therm cm the Tondos of the Turkish loan guarantee.
Last night the combined Aberdeenites and peace-at-

FRANCE.

FREE TRADE TRIM
(mom ova ()wig

IN FRANCE.

PARIS, MOJIDAY EVIIIING.

I noticed with pain a few days ago the report of
a Committee of the Corps Legislatif, which, in
stronger language than is now parliamentary in this
oountry, called upon the government to repeal one of
its free trade mamma—the abolition of the prohibi-

Lion against foreign spirits. I also mentioned the
I Dent day a statement made by the government com-
missary to the house, showing that the disastrous
oonsequeness of free trade in spirits apprehended by
the committee were purely ohimerioaL The llosiissor of
this day contains a paper which, I think,l do not inter-
pret wrongly when I say that it is, at the same time
an answer to the unenlightened clamours of certain
members of the Corps Legialatif, and also a public
intimation that the French Government is deter-
mined not only to renew the various provisional
relaxations of the tariff decreed within the last two
years, bat also to go much further than it has
hitherto done in the practice of free trade principles.
The paper in question has the significant heading,
"Results of free trade inaugurated but a short time
since in England" It contains figures more
eloquent than any speech, showing that since 1842
imports and exports, and also customs' duties (not-
withstanding immense reductions), have enormously
incesesed, that the national debt is diminished, that
navigation has doubled, that shipbuilding is son.
tinaally on the increase, that deficit in the revenue
has been replaced by surplus, that the Bank of Eng-
land and savings-banks' returns have in every way
improved, that mime and pauperism have diiniaished.
and that the social condition of the people, treading
to every possible test, is infinitely better than it
was ten years ago. The paper winds up with this
remarkable passage :

The government has resolved to put a stop to the
bivouacs which are nightly held at the doors of the

proclamation by the Prefect of Police placarded last
night announced that no one would be allowed to
stead about the doors earlier than four is the morn-
sag. Notwithstanding this notice, considerable crowds
docked about the different bureaux, and in the Rue
Rivoli some fifty persons were arrested and marched
off in custody of a military force. Additional offices
have been opened to meet the public demand. The
