LONDON, TIJE.sD.I 1 , JULY 12.

TILL inquiries of Lord NIALMESSCRT and Mr. Do-
tat tot in the two Houses of l'arliament last night
ed from the Ministry one or two note-
worthy remarks. The unswer of Lord JOHN WS-
ALI espluded the rumour, ostentatiously paraded by
e eitemporary yesterday, that Bosnia had been in-
by the Austrians. Lord JtalS: was
gate right in his assertion that the latest
authentic news left the forces of Austria at
the Hungarian fortress of Peterwardin, be-
veil *hick point it stems unlikely they should
pass. lucked, if the Emperor Ft; %Net 9 were to cross
les own frontier and enter the dominions of the
etuas, all Europe would at once declare he had
entered into secret and disgraceful league with his
kingly patron NICHOLAs, and that the partition of
the Turkish Empire was to be at all hazards at once
attempted by himself and the Autocrat. He can
scarcely venture at present, if at all, on any such ex-
mine and scandalous sts p ;—however great his
of gratitude may be to the Czaat
tor Cossack help afforded in the subjugation of
Hungary. The second question to Ministers re-
tuned to a great fact instead of a newspaper fiction—
the, tact that the Emperor of Russia has again
spoken to Europe through Count NESSELRODE. This
sew Imperial Manifesto will be fund in another
cvlumn, and affords an additional page for the his-
tory of tho would-be spoliation of Turkey.
Nit itoi.ss no longer says the difficulties
between himself and his neighbour cannot
be arranged, but be gives a new twist to exists
ing complications by declaring that ho will not re-
mare his troops from the Priecipalities until the
prey-ore now exercised upon him by the Two Powers
shall he removed. " The pressure "of England and
France is here acknowledged, and, at first sight, it
would seem that the Czar. would be willing to
abandon his aggression if the combined fleets
were called home again. A further examination
of the document, however, casts a very different light
epos it. Ho will not draw his troops within the
confines of Russia until Turkey has "granted the
satisfaction due to him"—that is, until she has given
up her independence. And, more than this, the Auto-
crat, whose burglarious intentions have already
given Europe so much trouble and anxiety,
now coolly and impudently declares he only
invaded Moldavia and 11 allachia because the
ships of England and France went to Besika Bay !
Well might Lord Jolts Russell. declare—" He did
not think that the Russian Government could in any
way substantiate the fact that the entry of the Rus-
sian troops into the Principalities was occasioned
by tho sailing of the English fleet into the waters of
the Porte." The impudence of this last Muscovite
pretence is • fit pendant to the audacity which
claims a virtual dominion over the subjects of ano-
ther Prince, and the greediness which led the
Autocrat of an enormous Empire tocovet and invade
the Provinces of a struggling and weaker neighbour.
But though no portion of enlightened Europe ean
mistake the real character of this latest NESSELRODE
Manifesto, it can scarcely fail to do its author service
within his own dominions. The millions of Masco-
vices who look up to NICHOLAS not only as their
King, but as a kind of human Divinity also—the
serfs, who read, or hear read, a new state paper in I
which their Czaß, with all the typographic distinctions
accorded to the Supreme .Being—will never for •
moment dream of doubting this new and false pre-
tence. Formerly they were told their Prince and
Father was to lead them to do battle for the Ortho_
dox Faith ; " Ht." called them to a great religions
struggle, and " His" officers were encouraged to make
vows on their knees at the shrines of Czenstockow
and Moscow before girding on the swords intended
for use against the peaceful corn-grossers of the
Principalities, or the troops who might be marched to
their protection. Fanaticism having thus been fed,
and military ardour been screwed up by a kind of
Peter-the Hermit-appeal to a new ensile, we behold
this new device come forth. National faith having been
played upon to the utmost, the screw is turned upon
national credulity and national pride. The Remises
are told that the Pruth was crossed after the tee
Powers had put a " pressure " upon Russia—that the
invasion in Moldavia and Wallachia was the only
resource against English and French invasion of—
the Greek waters! The gullibility which accepts
Nicnotas as a Deity, will never question the verity
of this assertion—the national pride that did service
against BONAPARTE in Russia will surely resent this
alleged impudence of LOUIS NAPOLEON in &site Bay.
Nothing short of Muscovite credulity can, however,
be deceived by the CZAR'S transparent fallacy. If
the Bests had first passed the Dardanelles when the
firLTAN seemed in danger, the Autocrat night
bare crossed the Proth ; but whilst the ships ma
at Besika Bay, they had broken no treaty, bad craned
so forbidden boundary, and had given no shadow of
excuse for the Russian to cross a frontier. The
Emperor NICHOLAS adds, therefore, by this new
Manifesto,: another leaf to his false pretences, with-
out • chance of deceiving a single soul more enlight-
ened than his own ignorant serfs.

Ma. Polies Commissioner MAYNE issued yes-
terday what may be culled Volume I. of an improved
edition of Cab fares. We venture to prophesy for
the work a popularity that will far exceed that of
many of much greater pretensions. The grounds of
our belief will be made manifest by a consideration
of the document its-lf. It is entitled, " Fares for
Hackney-carriages, and Distances Measured by Au-
thority of the Commissioners of Police." The dis-
tances in this first table are measured from Palace-yard.
The gentlemen of both Houses of Parliament who
have been legislating to give cheap cabs to the
public are to be the first participators in the
advantages derived from Mr. FITZROY'S bill.
Luckily for London, the "cabbies " of the metropolis
mulcted the M.P.'s : otherwise we might have hoped
in vain for fares at Gd. a mile. Happily for us,
honourable gentlemen " have been at the mercy
of the drivers of those honoured vehicles which con-
veyed them away from the scene of their labours at
all hours. We can imagine their delight at the ap- ,
pearance of a paper which will preserve them from
the ancient system of cabman's black-mail. The
Member of Parliament, anxious to do his duty,
who has been till now sailing between the
Scylla of the House, and the Charybdis
of the cab, may now ride in peace.
No longer shall the M.P., jaded by listening to
Protectionist platitudes, or Irish debates, still listen
on possessed with the horrid doubt whether the
persecution of the cab-stand was not worse even

than the oratory of NEwuEo.tra or the eloquence
of the Brigade. Skilled as he might be in all
other mysteries of European geography, he was
obliged to confess that the mt.uurements of the dis-
