THE SMYTH FORGERY CASE.—Mr. Field, the
late chief inspector of the Metropolitan Detective. Police,
has teceived a letter from Mr. Edwin Way, in which that
gentleman acknowledges in flattering terms the exertions
made by Mr. Field in " detecting, unravelling, and exposing,
the villainous conspiracy of Thomas Novas 1111 d others, ' to
rob Mr. Way's nephew ot his estate.

LO.V DOS, SATURDAY, SEPTBMBER 24.

We now publish the second despatch of Count
Nesssutuot: to Baron .NISALNDOItEr. Its tenor
exactly corresponds with the account we were
enabled to give of it two days ago. It explains the
sense in which the ('zee acc:•pted the Vienna note.
and this sense is one in which the SULTAN never
could accept the note without sacrificing his own in-
dependeree and self-respect ; and in which France
and England could not invite the St' LTAN to accept it
without treading on therights of an independent State.
Count Nit4sesitorn: declares that his master cannot
consent to the first modification of the Porte, be-
cause with that modification the note will not imply
that the Emil:eon has a right to interfere
betwvai the St huts and his subjects of the
Greek rite. Count Nesseheuto: does not deny that
the moditieil terms of the note ensure to the Porte's
subjects of the Greek rite every immunity they enjoy
or are eutitled to. Count NESSELRODE, therefore,
by standing out for the something more which he
says was implied in the original draft of the Vienna
note, frankly confesses that regard for the immuni-
ties of Christians of the Greek rite in Turkey was
only a secondary consideration of the Cis!: ; that
what the CZAR really sought was an admission by
the SULTAN of his right to interfere in the
internal politics of the Ottoman Empire. Again
Count NESSELRODE declares that his master can-
not con* nt to the second modification proposed
by the Porte, because if it is made the Vienna note
will no longer assert that the right claimed by the
CZAR of interfering iu the in:cruel politics of the
Ottoman Empire is conferred upon h:ui by the
Treaty of liainardji. That treaty confers no such
right upon the CLAR ; but if the SULTAN had
signed the Vienna note as it originally stood, he
would have acknowledged that tho groundless claim
of the CZAR was well founded. Yet again
Count NesiELRODE declares that his master
cannot accept the note as modified by the
Porte, because it does not, like the original draft,
promise to concede to the Christians of the Greek
rite subject to the SULTAN any immunities not en-
joyed by other Christian subjects of the Porte. The
Cz%lt Das;its that ho has a right to claim for Ottoman
subjects of the Greek rite all or any privileges that
the Porte may have been indoced, by political or
other considerations, to grant to any foreign Chris-
tians while residing in its dominions. Had the
CZAR demanded that his own subjects of the Greek
rite while residing in Turkey should enjoy any im-
munities enjoy. d by French Catholics or English
Protestants while residing there, his demand would
bare been reasonable, and no more than his sub-
jects are entitled to expect him to advance on their
behalf. But when he demands that tho SULTAN
shall take from Russia the law as to how he is toilet"'
with his own subjects, and also that he shall tell these
subjects they are indebted to Russia alone for the
concessions he may male to them, the Czsu demands
what he cahoot have a shadow of a right to ask.
It is curious to note how inconsistently, within
the brie I limits of this not very long despatch, the
Russian Chancellor at one time ho'ds out the immu-
nities, of Christians of the Greek rite in Turkey as of
it tie moment in the eyes of the Ct ‘a—at another as all
In all with him. When it is Count NERSELRODS'S
cue to speak of the SULTAN'S refusal to give Russia
credit fur immunities granted by the Parte, of its
own free accord, to Christians of the Greek rite, the
Count pooh-poohs these concessions—it is not a
guarantee for them that is wanted; it is that the
enjoyment of them shall redound to the honour
and glary of the CZAR. Bat when Count NESSEL-
RODE comes to speak of the conflicting claims
of the various Christian communions at the Holy
Sepulchre, he affects a zeal for those of the
Greek rite that cannot be contented with sub-
stantial justice, but mast secure for them every
merely flattering concession that hu been made
to other sects. Even the Christians of the Greek
rite must see the source of this glaring incon-
sistency : the CZAR is thinking not of them but of
his own self-glorification. As individuals he would
have no objection to see them trampled upon; but
as representatives of the Church of which be aspires
to be the earthly head, he will insist upon precedence
fur them, in worldly dignity, over all other Chris-
tians. The vanity of the Czsz is too much for his
policy : even while trying to shake the allegiance of
the SULTAN'S subjects of the Greek rite by affecting
to be their champion, he cannot conceal from them
what utter nothings they are in his eyes.
We dwell upon these self-betrayals of their real
objects by the Emperor of Ruests and his Ministers
not as throwing any new light on these objects; we
recapitulate them merely for the sake of refreshing
the memories of our readers before adverting to a
more important revelation contained in the Nasser-
RODE despatch. The note in its original form, it is
admitted in that despatch, was too explicit, not only
for the Ottoman Government but for the Governments
of England and France. "The reading first adopted
at Vienna was afterwards subjected at London and
Paris to a modification ; and if at that time we did
not raise any objection, as we had the right to do, it
was not that we made any illusion in the sense of
the change." The note, as originally drafted by the
Austrian Ministers, admitted too apparently of the
interpretation now attempted to be put upon it by
the L./AC. France and England saw through the
trap, and endeavoured so to modify the terms that it
might no longer admit of this interpretation. The
CZAR perused the alterations ; saw that they were
insufficient to defeat his purpose (" the distinction
wes indicated in a manner so delicate that,
in the spirit of conciliation," &c.); and ac-
quiesced in it. But the Turkish modifies-
tioos were effective, and must, therefore, be re-
sisted. Who can doubt, after reading these admis-
sions, that the terms of the note were from the be-
ginning concerted between the Russian and Austrian
Courts, and intended to throw dust in the eyes of the
French and English, as well as of the Turkish Go-
vernment. Austria, in now withdrawing its co-
operation from France and England, and insisting
upon the SULTAN'S adoption of the terms of the
Vienna note "pure et simple," is only playing openly
thi game which it had hoped to play in secret. The
detected colleague of the great northern thimble-
riser" will bully when he can no longer hope to

It may be conceded to the French and English
Governments. that in respect to the insidious phrase-
ology of the Vienna note they hare been deceived by
Austria. The attempt to modify its originally too
intelliyihle phraseology seems to indicate a desire to
in, wain the rights of Turkey. This concession,
L is no great compliment to their perspicacity,
sin. e they were satisfied with word changer, which
the Cz ‘r. SAW at once acre utterly ineffective. Rut
it is nit so easy to acquit France and England of
unworthy and conscious yielding on another ea-
