than Russia, but simply because in these manifestoes
there has been an evident want of truth, and because they
have been wholly unsupported by facts. (Hear.) My
lords, the Russian people—by which I mean the upper,
the middle, the educated classes, such as constitute, and
as far as is permissible, express public opinion in
Russia—these people all know that their religion has
been exposed to no danger, nor have they any reason to
think that the religion of the Greeks has been exposed to
danger, because they know that the only object in dis-
pute, to which, indeed, much importance was attached
—that of the Holy Places—has been satisfactorily set-
tled, and it is remarked by them, that in none of the
manifestoes, nor in the despatches yet published, is there
any statement of facts, still less any instance adduced of
complaints having been made by Greeks to their patri-
arch, to the Sultan, or to the Emperor, either of reli-
gious oppression, or of their having been deprived of any
right which thay had formerly enjoyed. I say it is
manifest, therefore, that that was not the true cause. If
those declarations had stated that the Principalities were
necessary because the Danube would make a better
boundary than the Pruth, or that the time was at length
come for possessing Constantinople ; or, better still, for
undermining the authority of the Sultan, and rendering
him a mere vassal, and dependent on Russia—to such
declarations there might have been a response, but to the
sham cry of religion, I trust there will be none. Your
lordships will also remember what a remarkable
absence, as my noble friend stated, of any religious
excitement, there has been during the last twelvemonth
in Turkey. Mahomedan fanaticism and its melan-
choly results in former times are too well known ; but in
the present instance they have, happily, been wanting.
No spirit has been called forth, but that which we our-
selves can admire and sympathise in—(cheers)—there
has been a national spirit—a brave determination on the
part of the Turks to resist, at all hazards, the invaders
of their country. (Hear, hear.) But, my lords, these
manifestoes and these exciting appeals, which have been
more addressed to the Greek subjects of the Porte than
even to the Russians ; these agents that have gone
among the Greek subjects of the Porte to excite them to
revolt; this enrolment of 3,000 Wallachians for the pur-
pose of bearing arms against their Sovereign, all this is
nothing but a servile copy of the course pursued by all
revolutionists and propagandists, whose acts the Emperor
has always been denouncing as the greatest political
crimes—(hear, hear)—and to whose discomfiture all the
energies of his life have been devoted. (Hear, hear.)
I say, then, it is utterly unjustifiable, and without ex-
cuse, to give to this war the character of a religious war;
and still less is there any cause for the charge, the por-
tentous charge, as my noble friend has called it, which
consists in accusing the French and English Govern-
ments of allying themselves with the enemies, and against
the friends, of Christianity. My noble friend has truly
stated what the character of this war is. My lords, we
are going to engage in a contest in support of the prin-
ciples of justice and of sound policy. (Cheers.) We ,
are about to prevent the pernicious example being
given of a weak state being overwhelmed by a
powerful neighbour ; we are about to prevent an
unjust interpretation of a treaty from being supported
by violence —we are about to prevent the terri,
torial limits established by treaty and the equilibrium of
Europe from being violently disturbed ; and I hope that
we shall also, as my noble friend has said, put a stop to
that blighting influence which has deprived more than
one country is Europe—indeed, I may say, so large a
oortion of Europe—of free action ; an influence which
has always been exerted to check that progress which is
essential to the welfare of nations ; an inluence more-
over, which, by stigmatising as revolution, and by check-
ing all those improvements which governments have
been willing to make, and which the people have deemed
that they had a right to expect has encouraged disloyalty
and discontent. I entirely agree with my noble friend
that greater privileges have been enjoyed by Christians
under Mahomedan than under Russian government. It
is perfectly true that it may be owing to the indifference
of the Sultan that such a state of things has been brought
about. But, my lords, there is no reason why the Sultan
exercising despotic power, should not say, "The Ma-
homedan religion is the religion of the state, and no other
shall be professed here ; there is no reason why he should
not say, "The Koran contains all truth, and the Bible
shall be prohibited." (Hear, hear.) But, my lards, as my
noble friend has said, what we have to do with is, not
motives but realities and facts. Your lordships will find li
in addition to what my noble friend has alluded to in his
speech to-day —you will find from the papers recently
laid on the table that the Sultan has by decrees issued
during his last year proclaimed his ardent wish and firm
intention that all classes of his subjects should be per.
fectly at ease with respect to their religious and spiritual
affairs. He has further said that the concessions
which have been made to Protestants should for ever
remain inviolate. That, my lords, is the measure of the
Sultan's liberality and toleration ; my noble friend has
given you that of the Emperor's. (Hear, hear.) And
I may add, still further, that it was only last year that
the Sultan gave a large tract of land to be used as a
burial-ground by the Christian community, with liberty
to protestants to erect a chapel and to perform divine
service there ; and this was at a time when papers were
laid on your lordships table by which the country was
informed that among other nations who would probably
consider themselves degraded by way of comparison
with Turkey, the protestant religion was strictly pro-
hibited, and the protestant dead were ignominiously,
smuggled into the grave, My lords, under these cir-
cumstances, and with reference to the desire which has
been manifested by the Sultan, not only to secure to
his Christian subjects the full and free exercise of their
religion, but also to improve their civil condition, I
will take the liberty of reading to your lordships a
document, which reached my hinds only 036,,,,b 1..14' ..a
hoar before I came down to the house. It is a des-
patch from Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, and I think
your lordships will be glad to hear it, as corroborating
what my noble friend has stated in his speech. It is
dated "Constantinople, Feb. 25," and is as follows :
"I have much satisfaction in reporting to your lordship
that the firman for establishing Christian evidence on an
equality with Mussulman throughout the Turkish empire
is complete—(hear)—and that it received the Sultan's
sanction shortly before I had the honour to receive your
lordship's instructions relating to the question which it has
now settled once for all on a broad and firm basis. (Hear,
hear.) I have received a copy of it from the Porte. No
time will be lost in promulgating it, and I propose to
send a translation of it by the Trieste steam-packet,
which goes to sea the day after to-morrow. I have reason
to hope that this great act of long withheld justice will
be followed by other proofs of the Sultan's comprehen-
sive beneficence and of the improved spirit prevailing
among hi. Mahometan subjects. It is my ardent wish
that the Christian and other non-Mussulman classes of
the population of this empire may duly appreciate the
benefit conferred upon them, and justify by their peace-
ful and loyal behaviour the increasing goodwill manifested
towards them by the Sultan and his Government. The
haratach is no longer levied in a manner vexatious to
individuals, but it is an unjust and degrading tax for the
complete abolition of which I shall continue to employ
my strenuous exertions. (Cries of "Hear, hear.") My
lords, I thought that as my noble friend was about to
bring his motion before the house, I would not wait till
this document was laid on the table. But I say, my
lords, with reference to what the Sultan has already
done, and to what I think there is evidence of his inten-
tion to do, I cannot omit this opportunity of express-
ing my deep regret at the movement which has taken
place among the Greek subjects of Turkey. (Hear.) My
lords, I admit that great civil reforms are still neces-
sary, and that the Greeks have still much to complain
of ; but I am perfectly convinced that it is not by in-
surrection that anything good or solid will be done.
(Hear, hear.) lam perfectly sure that it is not by idle
dreams of a Byzantine empire that the position of the
Greeks will ever be improved ; it is not by playing the
game, while abhorring the dominion of Russia, that the
Greeks will ever secure their object ; it is not by thwart-
ing, but by confiding in the Four Powers, that the re-
quired improvements will be effected. (Hear.) And
I must take this opportunity of repeating, what I said
a few nights ago, that the Four Powers who are now
engaged in supporting, and who are determined to up-
hold the Ottoman empire, would ill perform their duty,
would show that they did not understand the true cha-
racter of their mission, and mould neglect not only the
interests of Christianity, but the best interests of the
Sultan, if they did not take care to secure the civil as
well as the religious rights and immunities of the Chris-
tian subjects of Turkey, and to open the way for Chris-
tian civilisation 'with its progress and its prosperity,
which will eventually prove the best shield for Turkey,
Against foreign aggression, and her surest protection
against internal disturbance. (Hear, and cheers.)
Earl GREY was very glad to hear the charge which
had been brought by Russia against England and France
repudiated by lfbr Majesty's Government. At the same
time it was very important that their lordships should
not, amid the enthusiasm with which these announce-
ments were received, forget the real state of the facts.
His noble friend had spoken of the indifference of the
Sultan to the advantages enjoyed by Kotestants. The tole-
ration on which the Turks iwere complimented was, he
feared, confined to what took place between the various
Christian sects. All the members of Christian sects were
looked upon as dogs, and between one dog and another
the trueMussul man saw very little distinction. (Laughter.)
He concurred with his noble friend (the Earl of Claren-
don) in thinking that the Christians in the western
provinces of Turkey were acting very unwisely in aiding
Russia ; but they must make allowance for feelings which
had been produced by 400 years of cruelty and oppres-
sion. When the Turks had been so tardy in granting
concessions, they could not be surprised that the Chris-
tian population should endeavour to seize what perhaps
they could not obtain from their rulers. He did hope that
if an internal war between Turkey on the one hand, and
the Greeks on the other should rise into serious impor-
tance, the army of England would not be employed in
coercing the Christian subjects of the Sultan. (Hear,
hear, from the Earl of Aberdeen.) He trusted that the
war with Russia would be prosecuted with the utmost
vigour and determination, but it did not follow that they
were to meddle between Turkey and her Christian sub-
jects. He still regretted that the status quo had not been
maintained at all hazards. They had embarked in a
course the difficulties of which were but little understood.
They had placed themselves in a situation in whiCh they
would be required to mediate between races which were
hostile to each other, to govern, in fact, a large popula-
tion without any adequate means of governing it, and
though he wished to hope for the best, he was still of
opinion that it would have been best not to interfere.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH believed that no-
thing would conduce more to bring about future compli-
cations in the affairs of Europe than for this country to
assume the position which it had denied to Russia of
protection of the Christian subjects of the Porte. How-
ever much he might desire that the friendly representa-
tions of our minister to the Porte might be continued,
and be attended with still greater success, he earnestly
hoped that they would not acquire the right or incur the
obligation of requiring the observance of laws after they
lead been enacted, especially as the predominance of the

ruling nation might practically prevent the enjoyment of
the laws ?assed in favour of Christians. If the Greeks
really desred to obtain equality in law or in practice,
they shmid recollect that it was not by insurrection that
equality vas to be obtained. On the contrary, insurrec-
tion unde: such circumstances would create between the
two racesirreconcileable hostility, and in the event of
the ultimate success of the Turks, a persecution of their
Christian "ellow-subjects from which they were at pre-
sent free. If the Greeks desired to be placed under the
law in ci-cumstances of equality with the Turks, let
them coin( forward together with the Turks for the pro-
tection of their native land against the stranger, the
invader, ar.d the foreigner. (Cheers.) Let them join
the Turkisi standard—let them rally round the colours
of their country. (Cheers.) They might depend upon
it that the best friendships were those which were formed
in the hour of mutual danger, and cemented !in the field
of glorious victory. If they showed themselves worthy
of defending the country in which they were born—if on
the field o: battle they showed equal courage with that
which had been displayed by the Turks—they might be
assured thst they would acquire first that self-respect,
which is the best security for the observance of the law,
and next, the respect of the Turks themselves ; and
having fought side by side with the Turks in battle,
might expect to be placed on an equality with them as
subjects of the Porte. (Cheers.)
Earl FITZWILLIAM agreed with the noble lord
who had just spoken—that this country should not en-
ter into any guaranteee with respect to the Christians
in Turkey. Indeed, he doubted whether at the present
time it was expedient for the British Minister in Turkey
to exert himself to obtain any relaxations of the ob-
noxious laws, lest that should have the effect of engen-
dering the mischievous religious feeling which it seemed
to be the endeavour of the Emperor of Russia to excite
in the East of Europe. After the statements of the
noble earl who introduced the subject—statements the
truth of which could not be denied—it was impossible
to doubt that the contest in which the western nations
of Europe were about to engage was a contest between
civilisation on the one hand and barbarism on the other.
He would even say, in spite of the preparations of Rus-
sia, that it was a contest between religion on the one
hand and practical infidelity on the other ; for England
and France, instead of siding with the enemies of Chris-
tianity, were uniting together in order to prevent a state
of things in which barbarism and infidelity must pre-
vail over civilisation and religion; (Hear, hear.)
The papers were then ordered.
Their lordships adjourned at 5 minutes past 7 o'clock.

SPAIN.

MADRID, MARCH 5.

Lieutenant-Colonel Latorre was to be shot on
the 4th, in the citadel of Jaca. (The _Herald() says
that he has been shot near Saragossa.)
The 150 soldiers who gave themselves up at
Ilecho await the sentence of the court-martial.
All the sergeants went across the French frontier.
Two hunred and eighteen concessions of mines
in Spain were granted in the course of last year ;
of these 91 were in the province of Almeria, and
87 in that of Murcia.

At the last public bidding for the sale of Redeem-
able Debt, 8,240,845 reals of debt of first class were
purchased by the Government, at 7 98 to 8 18 per
cent. ; 8,508,060 reals of Internal Debt of second
class, at 4 31 to 4 45 per cent. ; and 8,942,530 reals
of Foreign ditto, at 419t0 4 23 per cent. •
Several journals copy the article of the Espana
respecting the recall of Senor Isturiz, but do not
venture themselves to do more than direct atten-
tion to it. It is matter of speculation whether our
Government will take a similar step, or will pass
the matter over as insignificant.

STATE OF TINA DE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, March 10.—The American advices
received this week state that the decline in cotton had
been stopped, indeed that prices were rather inclining
upward. At New Orleans, the rate of freight had risen
to 11-16 d. to id. per lb ; and the exchange was as low
as 6to 6i. We have to report a further depression in
the Manchester market. Some degree of distrust is
awakened by the failures that have occurred ; and, now
that war is actually at hand, the wisdom of operating
with extreme caution, and thus restricting liabilities
within narrow limits appears to be strongly felt. The
home trade houses are more timid and backward than
the shippers. They experience a great falling off in the
demand for goods ; and the bad debts they are incurring
render them increasingly wary in executing orders.
Cloths for this branch of our trade have suffered more
than others ; showing now, in fabrics for bleaching
and printing, a considerable fall from the highest prices
of some time ago. The India department of our mar-
ket is the best ; the lower qualities of shirtings, mada-
pollams and jacconets being so well engaged that they
yield but little, while 40's, 50's, and 60's mule yarns are
saleable at full rates. In reeled water twist there is a
slight further bias this week against producers. Warps
and pincops show the same tendency.
LEICESTER, March 9.—The uncertain state of the
wool and worsted market operate against production,
and therefore less is doing by the manufacturer, and a
further curtailment of making has taken place. The
few shipping orders given out are but on a very limited
scale. Lower cotton goods for the spinning trade are
in good demand. Spinners have reduced worsted yarns
a halfpenny per lb., and are still working short time.
Wools are fiat, and there is no confidence in present
prices.

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of this day. )

LEEDS, March 10.—The business in the warehouses
continues without alteration ; there is a fair trade doing
by the shipping houses, but the demand for the home
market remains dull.

HIIDDASFIELD, March 7.—ln the warehouses busi-
ness has been pretty good, the merchants generally
having been kept very busy ; but in the Cloth-hall trade
has been rather flat. Notwithstanding the slight in-
dication to slackness amongst the manufacturers who
attend the Cloth-hall, business generally is upon asound
wholesome footing.
ROCHDALE, March 6.—We have had very little busi-
ness doing to-day. Pieces are steady, and have under-
gone no change since last week. The wool market is
much the same as it was on the previous Monday.
BRADFORD, March 9.—The dulness so long com-
plained of still prevails, and spinnersl are unwilling
buyers. Yarn—Everything is as dull and discouraging as
possible ; the shippers are doing scarcely anything, and
the home trade in spools shows no signs of amendment.
Pieces.—There is no feature for the better to report, but
the time is drawing near when activity for the approach-
ing season usually prevails.
HALIFAX MARKET, March 4.—Long wools are ex-
ceedingly dull, and keep gradually giving way in price.
Middle wethers have been sold at 14Ad. per lb. Short
wools not plentiful, and sustain their value pretty well.

Al emarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York
Hotel. The Royal Exhibition. -- A valuable, newly-
invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be
seen and known one mile and a half distant ; they
answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera
houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 3i inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly upiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket.
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power ; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles
distant. Messrs. S. and B. Solornons, opticians, have in-
vented invaluable preserving spectacle lenses. Imme-
diately they are placed before imperfect vision, every
object appears clear and distinct; the most aged, de-
fective sight becomes bright and brilliant, is brought
to its youthful, natural, and original state. Deaf-
ness New Discovery—The Organic Vibrator, an ex-
traordinary powerful and newly-invented instrument,
for Deafness, entirely different from all others, to
surpass anything of the kind that has been or pro-
bably ever can be, produced. Being of the same
colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears is entirely removed ;. and it affords all the assist.
ante that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-street,

gist, Eton, dated April 26, 1852:—" To Professor Hol-
loway. Sir,—A. case bas lately come under my notice
which I think should be publicly known. It is that of
a poor man, who suffered so dreadfully from chronic
rheumatism, that he lost the use of one side and en-
dured incessant pain. He was under different medical
treatment, and at Westminster Hospital the faculty
pronounced him incurable. However, this was not the
case, fur by the use of .your ointment and pills, he bas
been restored to health and strength."--Sold by all
druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
