honoured guest at the Ministerial banquet in
honour of her Majesty's birth-day. Surely, then,
something may be done, albeit at the eleventh
hour, to remove the reproach to which we have so
long been subject by our almost inexplicable con-
duct with regard to Odessa. It will be
the imperative duty of independent Mem-
bers to ascertain the causes of this untoward
and mischievous procrastination immediately on
the re-assembling of Parliament. The real delin-
quents must, at least, be exposed, if they sustain
no other punishment. Tine was when Ministers
wh• had so grossly betrayed their duty to their
Sovereign and their country would have been
impeached and brought to condign punishment,
when they would have bitterly expiated their
gross misconduct. That some of the members
would richly merit similar treatment can scarcely
be doubted. At all events the whole truth must
be elicited—the saddle placed on the right horse,
and the country informed as to the party or
parties justly responsible for the injury sustained
through their gross incapacity, or possibly from
causes still less admitting of extenuation. When
the real state of affairs is fully developed it may
then be considered what further steps may be re-
quired to vindicate the national honour, and to
appease offended justice.

Let all be heard. There used to be chosen an-
nually, and, for aught we know, the ceremony is

still kept up at Rome, a clever Devil's advocate ;
why not an Austrian advocate ? It must be

quite as easy to display the superiority of truth
in a conflict with arguments for Austria, as in

attacking the defender of SATAN. BURNS, espe-

daily, was always for giving the latter his due.

We would be, and with equal reason, qaite as con

siderate of the claims of Austria.
Mr. MACGREGOR said his best for her in our

Our friend

columns on Thursday. He found her needy Go-
vernment willing to listen to advice which might
ultimately benefit her bankrupt exchequer ; he
owed her some gentlemanly return for her good
behaviour, and he has made it. His plea is, that
her German subjects, being not a fifth of the po-
pulation of her empire, and the tkree great
nationalities of Sdavonians, Hungarians, and
Italians, amounting to 27 millions, all in antagon-

sm with her and with each other, she cainot go
to war with Russia. He implores pity for her.

Her barbarities to her own subjects have para•

lysed her. She would reap the reward of her

atrocities were she actively to join the Allies ; no
one in his senses, therefore, could expect her to
do it. Pity political cruelty in political distress.
Press not a power, inherently perfidious aid cruel
to do justice to the five- sixths of her population
who groan beneath her rule. She cannot change
her nature ; cannot gain the allegiance, therefore,
of her oppressed subjects. Pity wickedness which
will not repent, selfishness which will not yield,
tyranny which will not relent. Such is the
real interpretation of Mr. MACGREGOR'S ap-
peal. Thoroughly do we agree with one
part of it—that nothing could surpass the
Folly of our Cabinet's ever expecting active aid

'rom Austria. But did they expect it ? Or have

all representations of that kind been mere excuses
for not pushing the War in earnest ? Mr. GLAD-

STONE'S speech on Thursday week, well worthy o f
an Austrian Jesuit, convinces us that these insin-
cere Peelites were only abusing the confidence of
the English nation.
Another advocate for Austria ventures, how-
ever, much farther. Mr. A. G. Durum., in a
pamphlet worthy in many parts of attention,*
pleads, not the misery, but the merits of Austria !

He thinks it worth while to make her a first-rate
Power. He would make her a match for Russia ;

tnd his method is to mix up a still larger quan
,um of iron and clay in the feet of his image.

He thinks she could and would become an active
ally against Russia if we paid her well for it.
And, as like the latter Power, she has shown so
marked a propensity to preying on neighbouring
.lountries, he would give her ample contentment
in that way. He thinks the moderation of the
EIAPSBURGS, with their little German territory,
would be satisfied with the offer of Moldavia !

Wallachia ! Bessarabia ! including Odessa ! and
both sides of the Danube! He forgot distinctly to
tdd Servia, for which she has so long looked
,wistfully, or he would doubtless have thought
that free and bold people a very slight additional

offering. There are one or two slight objections
uo Mr. DUNLOP'S proposals. One is, that the
Ministry who should present such a result of
secret diplomacy to the country would be
ertain to be ejected forthwith from office,
Ind probably such of them as sat in the House of
summons would be turned out at the next elec-
ion. Their comfort in perambulating the street
night also be seriously in danger, especially if

,hey ventured near Bankside. In plain language,
io deep is English detestation of Austrian perfidy,
'leanness, cruelty, and tyranny, that she would
leem any Cabinet more insane than the late
Peelite one, which could venture to curse another
acre of GOD'S earth with Austrian rule, Was
the devilry of Austria in her friendly occupation
)f the Principalities known to Mr. DUNLOP be-
core he penned these suggestions?
It would also be thought by most honest peo-
ple somewhat uncivil to Turkey to go to war
)artly to assert her rights in the Principalities,
tnd to end it by handing them over to the base
neighbour who has stripped her of her Adriatic
Lights, endeavoured to get hold of Servia, and
shown herself desirous to share the spoil of Tur-
key as she did that of Poland. Both sides of the
Danube, too ! Bosnia, Servia, and Bulgaria, we
4uppose, all to come under the paternal Tule of
Austria ! It is also somewhat objectionable that
the natives of these splendid provinces should never
ne asked their opinion ; if they were, we think
they would claim the SULTAN'S harmless suzerainty
Is infinitely a lighter yoke than the leaden one of
Austria. And if the SULTAN did not think his
nominal dominion there worth contending for,
loubtless all these provinces would elect to be
free states governed by their own princes ; their
territorial integrity being made, like that of some
'tiler small states, an integral part of the Euro-
pean system. If the Porte did not object, this
:night be decidedly the best arrangement for the
provinces north of the Danube—Bessarabia being,
perhaps, incorporated with Moldavia.
It would be unjust te. Mr. DUNLOP not to add
that the beginning of his pamphlet is much bet-
ter than the concluding recommendations. His
powerful and well-supported remarks on Russian
influence, matrimonially and otherwise, over
nearly all the German Courts is both impressive
and instructive, and would not fail to convince,
if conviction were needed. He starts from the
assumption that the influence of Russia with the
German Courts is so great, and the interest
of the latter as despotic Courts so strong
'in clinging to Russian support, that no
peace which can now be patched up will
lessen Russian
predominance in Germany
" unless we eau
either, Ist, thoroughly humble
Russia, and dictate terms of peace at the Kremlin,
at Sebastopol, or at St.
Petersburg. ; or, 2dly,

build up a counter influence by permitting Ger-
many to extend herself under Austria to the shores
of the Black Sea, with both banks of the Danube;
or, 3illy, unless by some wonderful and lnex-
peeled contingency constitutional government pre-
vail against dynastic rule throughout Germany
and Western Russia, without the extraneous help
of circumstances adverse to Russia." The last
Mr. DUNLOP deems, naturally enough with his
partiality for Austria, unlikely. The second is
his favourite policy. We can assure him, how-
ever, that the first is the only one which the
people of this country will hear of for a moment.
Poland he quite forgets, and denounces " silly
sentimentality respecting Hungary." We blush
for the free-born Briton, for the countryman of
BRUCE Or WALLACE, Or HA.MPDEN Or C.RO.7.IWELL,
who could pen such a sentence. The apathy of
our Government when Poland fell, and still later
the treachery of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, perhaps
under COBURG influence, when Russia invaded
Hungary, are the not remote causes of the pre-
sent War. Justice to Poland and to Hungary
would bring joy to every British heart. It would
equally assure the safety of Turkey.

LATEST NEWS.

We rejoice to find that the well-founded com-
plaints of the defrauded proprietors of Buenos
Ayres Bonds have at length attracted the atten-
tion of the British Government, and that there is
at length some prospect of their obtaining a por-
tion of the justice to which they are so well en-

titled, and on which we have so long and so stre-
nuously insisted. The cavalier mode in which
the defaulters attempted to treat their unfortu-
nate dupes was absolutely intolerable. In place
of fairly meeting their just demands, or ;lowing
that the failure arose from unavoidable causes,
they lavished abuse on their creditors, and
bitterly railed at "the Jew usurers of London,"
whom they seemed to think well oft in now getting
two per cent. on what they declared to be the
money actually advanced nearly thirty-one years
since.

Such an excuse was perhaps never paralleled,
save in the celebrated instructions to Counsel
which said "We have no defence ! Abuse the
plaintiff's attorney." Mr. Gino is on the present
occasion the representative of the claimant; and
certainly the Buenos Ayres pettifogger appears to
have carried out his orders with the most unspar-

ing exactness. M. GIRO had been guilty of an
unpardonable offence. He had the audacity to
declare that "the Loan being contracted at a very
high price, every principle of justice, sound policy,
and honour made it incumbent on the Buenos
Ayres Government to settle the question, espe-
cially after a delay of nearly thirty years !" Nay
more, he actually dared. to publish the terms of
the obligation which they were so scandalously
disregarding. This was the signal for a virulent
attack, not only on the too truthful offender, but
even on those by whom he had been accredited,
the long-suffering bondholders, who were so po-
litely designated as "the Jew usurers of London l''

The Loan was contracted, as we have already
stated, through the firm of BARING BROTHERS, at
the stipulated !ate of 85 per cent. The money
was handed over in clue course, and in strict
accordance with the terms of the agreement to the
agents of the Republic, and the securities that
have proved of so little value delivered in ex-
change. So far they fully and completely per-
formed their part of the contract, and could not,

under any circumstances, be expected to look to
the application of the proceeds. But now, for-

sooth, at the end of 30 years, when nothing was
paid for by far the greater part of that time, and
but a mere trifle for the remainder, they declare

that they only got 700,0001. out of the amount,
and revile and abuse their creditors for the conse-
quences of their own conduct. If such an argu-
ment were tenable there are few debts that can
be recovered ; and all this time, while swindling
and vituperating their English creditors, they
were paying their own countrymen to the utter-
most farthing ; although such claims ought to
have been entirely postponed to those of strangers.
It now appears that " strong remonstrances"

have been addressed by the Foreign Secretary to
the defaulting Government. A gentleman, to
whose indefatigable exertions the bondholders are
deeply indebted, has received a communication
from the Foreign-office, of which the following is
a copy :---

" Foreign-office, May 23, 1855.

" Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 17th inst., I am
directed by the Earl of Clarendon to acquaint you that
his lordship entirely concurs with you as to the conduct
of the Buenos Ayrean Government in failing to keep
their engagements with the Buenos Ayrean bondholders,
and I am to inform you that strong remonstrances on
the subject have been addressed to the Government of
Buenos Ayres.—l am, sir, your most obedient humble
servant, " WODEHOUSE.
_ _ -

In this Lord OLIRENDON has acted well. We trust
that having so tardily assumed the initiative,
having broached the subject, he will not, unless
full justice be obtained, content himself with
mere " remonstrances"—but, if words prove in-
effectual, " try what virtue there may be in
stones." Such complaints are always better
attended to when accompanied by an adequate force,
which can compel redress. The defaulters may
now possibly change their tones they may no
longer rate their creditors, or
" Void their rheum upon their beards,

They may now speak
" With bated breath and whispering hurnblenesg."
Bat unless they receive justice all their submis-
sion will be of no effect. That they are bound to
do, and that they must be made to do !

Sir Francis and Lady Scott have arrived at the Claren-
don Hotel from Great Barr Hall, near Birmingham.
We hear from Cologne that a Hungarian has been ar-
rested in that city for opening an enlistment bureau for
the British Foreign Legion.

opinion. In the early part of this month consider-
able reinforcements arrived by land at Sweaborg,
Abo, and Helsingfors, where the General-in-Chief
has his head-quarters. The Isles of Aland con-
tinue to be abandoned, and nothing indicates an
intention on the part of the English admiral to
carry on hostilities in that quarter or further
on in the Gulf of Bothnia. It was stated yes-
terday at Lubeck that the French squadron
had reached the Swedish island of Gothland.
Russia, being anxious to guard against the incon-
veniences arising from the long continuance of the
blockade, had ordered a land communication to be
opened with Tornea, at the extremity of the Gulf
of Bothnia.. This road will prove of the greatest
use while the navigation is interrupted, and the
Swedish and Finnish merchants attach much im-
portance to its construction. The Swedes might
then forward to St. Petersburg across Finland all
the foreign productions that capital and the other
cities of the empire may stand ih need of. Letters
from Archangel of the 16th inst. state that the
White Sea and its numerous gulfs have been freed
from ice this year at a more early period than usual.
The old forts and batteries of Archangel have been
repaired and considerably extended, and the popu-
lation appears to ' entertain no apprehension of an
attack from the allied squadron. Along the coast
the inhabitants of the open towns and villages have
removed their goods and other valuable articles
into the interior of the country. There were at
Archangel, and in its environs, two divisions of in-
fantry, a few squadrons of cavalry, and two pulks
of Cossacks. Two cohorts of national militia had
been also ordered to Archangel.
