Cabal anb tilitarrr ttttiligtatt.

THE ATTENTION Of the General Commander-in-Chief,
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and
the authorities at the Horse Guards, having for
some time past been directed to the manner in
which staff appointments in the army are made, it is
in contemplation to make an entire change in the
system hitherto-adopted. With this view it has been
proposed that before any officer is appointed to the
staff he shall undergo a proper course of instruction,
under officers of great experience, in the several
duties he will be called upon to perform. In order
that none but really efficient officers may be selected
for the appointnients it is suggested that the general
officers at each of the half•yearly inspections be
directed to call upon the commanding officers of
regiments to bring forward the name of any officer
under his command who may have given proofs of
superiority in his profes-ion over the other officers in
the regiment. Should the General Commanding-in-
Chief deem the officer (after a preliminary examina-
tion) so brought forward to his notice a fit candidate
for astaff appointment, his name will be placed on
the list, and, as vacancies occur, the senior officer on
the list will undergo a course of instruction, at the
public expense, to qualify him for the staff. The
establishment for instruction is proposed to be
limited to about fifty officers, and every facility will
be given to the candidates for acquiring a perfect
knowledge of their duties, without any expense to
themselves. A properly qualified general officer of
great experience would be appointed to examine the
whole of the officers in the establishment periodi-
cally, when the most efficient officer would be
selected, and appointed to the first vacant staff
appointment.

TURKEY AND THE EAST.

Lord Stratford de Bedeliffe has accepted the expla•
nations given by M. de Boutenieff 'relative to the bat-
teries at Yenikale firing upon a British gunboat.
MM. Thouvenel and Boutenieff, it is reported,
lately presented a note to the Porte. The French and
Russian Governments demanded of the Grand Vizier
(Redschid Paella) positive answers to the following
questions :-
1. In reference to the regulation of the Beasarabian
frontier:— _ _

Does the Porte agree to leave it to the Paris Con•
ference to remove the existing difficulties, or is it willing
to settle matters in such a way that it will renounce its
pretensions to Bolgrad in favour of Russia if France and
Russia will guarantee to Turkey Proper the definitive
possession of the Isle of Serpents and of the delta of the
Danube.

2. In reference to the prolonged occupation of the
Danubian principalities :
Does the Sublime Porte not see that it is in opposition
to the words and spirit of Article 31 of the treaty of Paris?
And is not the prolonged occupation of the Principalities by
Austrian forces in contradiction to the language employed
by Count Boo! at the Congress ?
3. In reference to the presence of the English squadron
in the Bosphorus and Black Sea:—
Does not the Porte see that the same is in opposition to
the Convention of May 13, 1856, according to which a
term of six months, reckoning from the date of the ex•
change of the ratifications of the Paris Treaty, was fixed
for the withdrawal of all the forces of England, France,
and Sardinia from the Turkish territory ? And is not the
prolonged stay of the British squadron an impediment to
the realisation of the convention relative to the Straits,
which was to have come into force on the 28th of
October.

4. In reference to the reorganisation of the Danubian
principalities :
Is the Porte of opinion that the Divans ad hoc are quite
at liberty to declare themselves in favour of the territorial
and administrative union of the two Principalities, if such
should be the wish of the inhabitants of Wallachia and
Moldavia? And would the Porte, as the Suzerain Power,
make any difficulties if the declaration (of the Divans ad
hoc) should be taken into serious consideration by the
Paris Congress ?

The Vienna Corresponticnz contradicts the rumoured
statement that the note was privately signed by MM.
Thouvenel and Boutenietf. The notes were separate,
but the observations identical.

The British fleet, under the command of Admiral
Lord Lyons, continues at anchor off Constantinople.
Her Majesty's steam-frigates Vulture, Gummi, and
Magicienne, and steam-sloops Sphynx, Lynx, and
Medina, are cruising in the Black Sea. The gun-
boat Grinder is off the mouth of the Danube.

with a portrait of himself, as a memento of his
parliamentary services. Mr. Hodges, in the course
of his speech upon the occasion, detailed the history
of his parliamentary experience, and delivered the
following opinion upon Party and Principle :
Now, gentlemen, it will probably be said that this is a
party meeting. In my humble opinion "party "is only a
synonymous word for " principle." I'arty may degenerate
into faction; but it is an error to suppose that principle is
involved in this undoubted evil. True party is an ad•
herence to certain principles ; and those principles which
I have hitherto professed I will ever maintain.

PERIODICAL LITZRATURE.

THE National Review opens with an article on
Gibbon, written in a pleasing style, and full of lively
and sagacious comment on butb the historian and
his times. It is well said of the latter half of the
eighteenth century, that "in literature the period
" may be defined as that in which men ceased to
" write fur students, and ha I not begun to write for
" women." The horror of Gibbon at the Franch

AMEEICA.

Another mail has arrived without the Message.
The election of a Speaker could not be decided, and
on the whole the public seemed rather indifferent to
the matter. President Pierce, it is stated, has had
his Message put in type in his own house, and makes
the necessary alterations demanded by the political
changes in every fresh week's intelligence from
Europe. The compositors are locked up separately,
and the greatest secrecy is maintained as to sub-
stance of the Message.
The steamship Northern Light, on the point of
sailing on a II ibustering ezpedition to Nicaragua,
had been seized by the Government at New York.
The principal officers were held to bail in heavy
sums, but the passengers mostly allowed to go tree.
The New York Herald Washington correspondent
states that Mr. Marcy's demands upon the British
Government require, among other things, the recal
of Mr. Cranipton, or some other public act of equally
signal satisfaction to the United States.

FRANCE.

Every variety of speculation upon the reply
of Russia to the Austrian proposals has been
hazarded this week in the French papers. In so
complete a dearth of authentic information the
imaginative politer of our lively neighbours has en-
joyed full play. The Russian Circular of the 22nd, at
first received as a substantial rejection of the terms
proposed by the Western powers, is now accepted as
a proof that Russia is at least desirous to negotiate ;
for telegraphic information from St. Petersburg—
stating the public anxiety to be great, and the war
and peace party as engaged in close contest, that M.
Nesselrode, with the Empress Mother, inclined to a
pacific solution, while Privy Councillor Senaivine,
with the Empress, was for war, and that the Em-
peror hesitated to declare himself—restored conf-
deuce in some degree, and every argument which
had been urged to prove the improbability of the
Czar's acceptance of the Austrian proposal was sud-
denly found a powerful point in favour of the hope
that wisdom and moderation would influence the
Czar, and that peace tea; not yet to be despaired of.
Meanwhile, the gathering of the members of the
Great Council of War has been accepted in Paris as
direct proof of the intention of the Western powers
to carry on the war earnestly this summer in the
northern provinces of Russia. The Emperor, it is
said, will lead in person the grand army, and nothing
less is anticipated than a promenade militaire on or
beyond the banks of the Elbe.
The account in the Emancipation Beige of the
cool reception of the Austrian Minister at St. Peters-
burg is accepted by the French papers. The Em-
peror Alexander, it is said, after hearing the Count
out, confined his reply to simple inquiries after
Count Esterhazy's health and journey; and with a
second failure to bring the Czar to an exchange of
explanations, Count Esterhazy left the palace. The
Mats St. Petersburg correspondent affirms that at
the second interview with Count Nesselrode, the
conference was " completely taken up with mutual
recriminations," and that the special and precise
object of the mission of the Austrian Minister was
not raised.
Yesterday the Mats, upon the authority of its
own information, denied the accuracy of the state-
ment that the Imperial Chancellery had given its
reply to the Austrian proposals. Up to the 6th no
answer, it states, had been given, and at the expira-
tion, on the Bth, of the first period granted for a
reply by Austria, Count Esterhazy was to renew his
demand, giving a further period of ten days for a
re ply.
The members of the Council of War arrived in Paris
early in the week, and on Thursday held their first
sitting at the Tuileries, under the presidency of the
Emperor.

pressly for him; these are ON SHOW over his SIXTEEN
