LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 2S, 1853

Interest is still kept alive in reference to the
diplomatic negotiations yet going forward at Con-
stantinople—negotiations between the Sublime,
Porte and the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh—nego-
tiations between the Russian Plenipotentiary and
the Turkish Government—negotiations watched
with a jealous regard both by the French and by
the English Ambassador. Happily not only for
the interests of the SULTAN, but for those, also, of
the Balance of Power throughout the Eulopean
Continent, there has been all along maintained,
there is still Lt this moment maintained, and there
will continue henceforth sedulously to be main-
tained, the most perfect accord between the views
cherished in this matter by the Ministerial ad-
visers of the EMPEROR of the French and of the
QUEEN cf. Great Britain and Ireland. Yes-
terday that important assurance was given
authoritatively in both Houses of the Im-
perial Parliament. It was given in the
ELMS of Lords by the Earl of CLARENDON, in
answer to the ex-Foreign Secretary. It was
given in the House of Commons by Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, in answer to the ex-Chancellor of the
Exchequer. The country has reason to be
thankful for the energetic promptitude through
which a declaration of so much value and signifi-
cance was extorted from the Administration—

here by Mr. DISRAELI and there by Lord MALMES-
BURY. In consequence of the interrogatories ad-
dressed to the occupants of the Treasury benches
by that Noble Earl and that Right Honourable
Gentleman, the Coalition Cabinet has been com-
pelled to avow in explicit terms the nature of
the policy now being carried out on behalf of
her Britannic MAJESTY by the English Ambassador
at Constantinople. Referring to the position now oc-
cupied by that diplomatist, andto the simultaneous
situation, likewise, of the diplomatic Representative
of the Emperor NAPOLEON at the Court of his
Majesty, the Sultan A BD-UL-MEDJID, the Earl of
CLARENDON avowed last evening in so many
words,—" I have no hesitation in saying that
they are acting in concert in carrying out the in-
tentions of their respective Governments, between
whom there exists the most cordial concert and
identity of feeling." Than this, we maintain, no
declaration, by possibility, could, under existing
circumstances, be more eminently satisfactory.
Speaking upon the same subject, and in a kindred
spirit, Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed last evening—
" I may state that there has been the most per-
fect concert and accordance of views between her
MAJESTY'S Ambassador at Constantinople and the
Ambassador of the Emperor of the FRENCH"—an
announcement welcomed yesterday in the House
of Commons with acclamations ! So much for the
sinister insinuations recently thrown out in cer-
tain quarters, in reference to what were termed
" insuperable obstacles to a common and united
action " between France and England in this
Russo-Turkish difficulty ! So much for the
shameful misrepresentations promulgated to the
effect that no further reliance could now be placed
in the union of the two great nations of Western
Europe—in their union, that is to say, in opposing
the arrogant and domineering policy of the Rus-
sian AUTOCRAT ! So far from this being the case,
" the most perfect concert" is declared by Lord
JOHN RUSSELL to characterise the views entertained
upon the matter in question by the Ambassador of
VICTORIA and by the Ambassador of NAPOLEON at
Constantinople !—the Earl of CLARENDON assert-
ing, moreover, in the Upper House, that there is
an ab*4)lAlte " identity of feeling" upon the subject
in the
Nay, it , Cabinets of those August Sovereigns !
