LORD J. RUSSELL'S STATEMENT ON THE

EASTERN QUESTION.

(From tke Times.)
The statement made yesterday by Lord John Russell
in the House of Commons with reference to the negotia-
tions in the East has not only added nothing to what
was already known of these transactions, but it has les-
sened our confidence on two points which were already
supposed to be concluded. Thus it appears that the
assent of the Porte has not yet been received to‘the note
adopted by the conference at Vienna; and we are left to
infer, from the too expressive silence of the minister
when questioned on the point, that this note contains no
explicit stipulation for the evacuation of the principali-
ties, although, by the declaration of the British Govern-
ment in both houses, the immediate and entire evacuation
of those territories is an indispensable condition of the
termination of this dispute. Lord John laid much less
stress than he might have done on the solemn assurances
given.by the Emperor Nicholas and his ministers before
Prince Menschikoff had reached Constantinople ; and he
might have contrasted these promises with the mean and
underhand attempt of the Russian envoy to conceal his
real demands from the English and French ambassadors
—a circumstance which provedin itself the dishonest and
clandestine nature of his mission. But in all that has
fallen from Lord J. Russell on this subject we, remark a
strange inconsistency between the force with which he
dwells on " the integrity and independence of the Otto-
man Empire"—as if that cabalistic expression had power
to heal the sick and raise the decd—and the feeble means
used to effect this object. To juke from the Ministerial
statement of last night, it migit be supposed that the
Emperor of Russia has obtained all that he thought fit
to ask, and that the conference )f Vienna has only been
engaged in framing the Russian demands in more ac-
ceptable language. The effect cf this tame and meagre
declaration to the house was vers"painful and depressing,
and we are satisfied that it coureyed a very imperfect
notion of the course of
_policy the Government has
really pursued. Tlfirhave carried the silenfikstem to
excess, and the result is an imputation that they are
afraid to speak. But the subsequent portion of the de-
bate in some degree retrieved the unfortunate effect of
Lord John Russell's semi-revelations, which were unre-

lieved by a single expression of manly vigour or public
confidence. We profess to place mach less reliance than
Lord John Russell does on "the integrity and inde-
pendence of the Ottoman Empire ;' for those are words
of very questionable meaning when applied to a State
which has two important provinces occupied at this mo-
ment by a foreign army, and which cannot hope to rid
itself of that enemy without foreign support. In reality,
the independence of Turkey has sufered quite as much
from such foreign support as from foreign aggression.
The treaty of Unkiar 'Skelessi was a treaty of amity
and support, to enable Russia to defend the Sultan
against Mehemet Ali. The treaty of July, 1840, was a
treaty of amity and support, to enable the Porte to
recover Syria and dictate terms to Egypt. But these
celebrated conventions were just as fatal to the inde-
pendence of Turkey as the worst treaty ever dictated to
her by a successful enemy, since they demonstrated
that she had no longer the power to subdue her own
vassal or to protect her own capital without foreign aid.
Lord Palmerston asserts that Turkey has made amazing
progress in the last 30 years, and that her army, navy,
administration, and principles of government are greatly
strengthened and improved. How comes it, then, that
with all this improvement, and with Egypt to boot
(which has done its duty nobly in this crisis), the Porte
is unquestionably less able to resist extortionate demands
than it was 25 years ago ? From 1825 to 1827 it re-
sisted the efforts of all the Christian Powers in favour of
the Greeks and fought the battle of Navarino ; in 1828
it sustained two campaigns against the Russians, un-
aided. Does any one suppose that tae Porte, unsup-
ported by any European power, is capable of similar
efforts now ? If she be, the interposition of foreign di-
plomacy is, to say the least, rsuperfluaus, and the best
proof she can give tof her independence is to turn
the Russians out of the country. Unhappily this
is more than she can accomplish, and what we
now term her " independence " means no more than
that she is prevented by foreign aid from falling into
absolute dependence on a single Power. So far we
agree with Mr. Cobden, that the only real independence
is that which a nation gives and perpetuates to itself.
It is Mr. Cobden's strange humour, however, to mix
the political opinions of an adherent of M. Kossuth
with the practical views of a Russian agent, and,' while
he inflames the popular prejudices against Russian
despotism, to lend his aid to the substantial ends of
Russian ascendancy. As a Freetrader, he advocates a
close connexion with the most restrictive State in
Europe, to be purchased by the sacrifice of the freest of
all our customers ; and, as an advocate for the repeal of
the Navigation Laws, he argues that in consequence of
that measure we are now incapable of carrying on any
species of maritime warfare without absolute ruin to the
English mercantile flag. Professing an unqualifying
faith in the policy of peace, he finds II o words of censure
for an act of invasion which, if persisted in or imitated,
must become the signal of generalwar ; and at the very
moment when it, is. most. important for 0-Government
of this country to hold a firm attitude abroad, he em-
ploys every argument he can invent to weaken our
national position and to give increased confidence to
our opponents.
Fortunately, this speech brought down upon its author
the swift and severe chastisement which Lord Palmerston
inflicted in the most brilliant address of the debate. We
know not how our democratic contemporaries reconcile
the admiration they profess for Lord Palmerston with
their adherence to the political creed of Mr. Cobden ;
but, on a question of deep importance to the honour and
character of the nation, we are confident that the blindest
popular instinct would suffice to win over Mr. Cobden's
followers to a more generous and spirited course of ac-
tion. The determination of this country to throw its
weight and to exert its power on the side of legal rights,
when they are threatened, is one of the principal securi-
ties of the general peace, and we can conceive nothing
more fatal to that cause than the belief that England had
been disarmed and emasculated. Lord Palmerston's an-
swer, received with vociferous and enthusiastic cheering
by both sides of the House of Commons, was a conclusive
retort on these unpatriotic sentiments, and the complete
isolation in which the persons professing them are
placed, by the extreme Liberals, by the Ministerial
party, and by the Opposition, is the best proof that they
are repudiated by the people of England. Inanimate as
was the tone of Lord John Russell, his colleague of the
Home Department gave the debate a more pungent and
telling character, and, as the organ of the Government
on this occasion, Lord Palmerston showed no disposition
to lower the suitable language of a minister of the
Crown. To a power which has proved itself to be cap-
able of the deceits practised by Russia in this transation terms of implicit confidence are misplaced ; and! if
we are to succeed—as we trust we shall—in defeag
her designs, rejecting her demands, and causing her
forces to retire, it must be by a strong resolution to up-
hold the common interests of Europe. This question,
as Mr. Cobden observed, is by no means over, and we
inav have to deal with it in various forms for many years
to come. But, if the opinion and the interests of
theland are still to be felt in the East, we may be suresour
r
we must be prepared to act with as much energy a
antagonists, and, above all, to give full effect to every
assurance of support held out in the name of the
British Government.

the best and Cheapest Disinfecting Fluid for the purification

Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it has
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifying
agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen-
trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price.
It is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the United King-
dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels
at 6s. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
and use. Concentrated Chloride of Ziac in use may be diluted with
200 times Its quantity of water.
