in gs will be fully and accurately known to the
co mmunity, so that every man will becompetent
to form his own judgment on the several issue?.
TI tare can be but little doubt that this
very important alteration was occasioned by
the voice of public opinion, clearly and un-
equivocally pronounced, and the unequi-
vocal and almost unanimous condemnation
by the Fourth Estate of the mystery and privacy
at first contemplated. The mere publicity will go
far to render the decision of the New Board what
it ought to be—so that there will be the less
danger of the matter being shelved or got rid of
without the suitable consequences to those who,
if, the statements of the first Report are to be
credited, occasioned such fearful injury to the
national interests, and to the gallant army placed
under their control and management.
The origin of the Crimean Commission cannot

The SULTAN, it should never be forgotten, is an
ndependent Sovereign, not a Viceroy; and to
maintain him in that position was one of the main
objects of the War. With what propriety, then,
could we attempt, during the conclusion of peace,
to convert him into a puppet for the regis-
tration of our decrees, however desirable
the objects we eight have in view in
loing so might be ? Our peremptory
nterference with the internal affiirs of Turkey,
;so be warranted in reason and justice, CAt2 only,
under such circumstances, extend to what ob-
viously threatens the stability of the Turkish
empire by promoting disaffection and inviting
foreign aggression, and to that extent we sin-
cerely trust it will be unflinchingly exorcised.
Who would undertake to say that, however suc-
cessful in a war with America, it would be our
duty to insist on a proviso for the liberation of
the slave population as a necessary article in a
treaty for peace? Judging, however, by the
question asked by Mr. Braes in the House last
evening, individuals, well meaning beyond a
doubt, but too much carried away by their hu-
mane feelings, are to be found who would have
Government exact of an old Ally, whom we have
defended from aggression, occasioned, ostensibly
at least, by his resistance to foreign domination,
what we would refrain from demanding
from a humbled enemy. Yet what compari•
son is there between American and Turkish
slavery ? Bad as the latter is it is a merci-
ful provision when placed in juxtaposition with
that of the United States. The slavery of America
reeks with the blood and cries aloud to Heaven in
the groans of the tortured and overtasked slave.
It puts a veto on the intelligence, casts a cim-
merian pall over the prospects, and levels with
the brutes the humanity of the oppressed negro,
and pleads the sanction of Christianity for a system
against which the New Testament is an undying
protest. The slavery of Turkey, on the contrary,
is to a large extent a slavery of promise, involving
ligkt labour and little ill-usage, and holding out
to the captive better prospects •f rising than are
usually the lot of freemen. The Circassian girl is

LINDON, SATUII7.', MAIZCIT 1, 1856.


.I be forgotten. It was after Mr. ROEBUCK'S
proposition for a Parliamentary investiga-
tion had been carried by an overwhelming
majority, and the consequent overthrow of the
ABERDEEN Cabinet, and also after the secession of
the principal Peelite members of the newly ap-
pointed Administration, in consequence of Lord
PALMERSTON consenting to abide by the strongly
expressed opinion of the House, the Army be-
fore Sebastopol Committee was about to com-
mence its labours, and it might prove a valuable
auxiliary to the parties who might be inculpated
if a report framed on inquiries taken on the spot
by men whose high and unimpeachable characters
placed them beyond the possibility of suspicion
could be produced in opposition. But, unfor-
tunately for those who concocted the wedeln
scheme, Sir JonN M'NETL and Colonel TULLOCH
Were true to themselves. They too faithfully
conducted the investigation, and too truly stated
the painful conclusions at which they were com-
pelled to arrive. In place of exonerating, it
materially corroborated and confirmed the charges
against certain officers occupying a high position. ,
This untoward event completely upset the cal-
culations. The first Report was, therefore, quietly
burked. It was kept carefully concealed, and
not even communicated to the authorities at the
Horse Guards, so that offices of honour and
emolument, the highest rewards to which mili-
tary men could aspire, were bestowed on those
whose incapacity or negligence had produced such
serious mischief. It was not published until

concealment was no longer practicable, and then,
in plaCe of decided action, a new commimion was

appointed, which was to report on the firmer
Report, although with far inferior means of arriv-
ing at a correct conclusion !

We must now await patiently this further and
most uncalled-for investigation. But the public
will not be diverted from the topic by this inge•
'lions device, which will constitute another serious
item in the account of the Horse Guards, and the
charges that must eventually be brought against

,he real, as well as the nominal Commander-in-

Chief.

The proceedings of the Conference now being
held in Paris are likely to embrace the considera-
tion and settlement of too many important subjects
of dispute to admit, if that were otherwise wise
and politic, of the introduction of any extraneous
matter ; and under that category the abolition of
the slave trade and of domestic slavery in the
SuLTAN's dominions must assuredly be ranked.
It constituted no element of provocation to Russian
aggression, and forms no impediment, unless we
choose to make it so, to peace ; while to insist on
it would be to imitate the example of Russia, and
be guilty of pretty much the same sort of inter-
ference as that which, resisted, led to the passage
of the Truth, and the measures consequently taken
by the Allies.

The Honourable and Learned Gentleman, the
Member for Sheffield, last night brought on the
motion, of which he bad given notice, respecting
the appointment of the New Crimean Commission.
The Right Honourable Mtronet, the Member for
Droitwicli, was, unfortunately, precluded by the
forms of the House from moving his promised
amendment. Mr. ROEBUCK was unable to bring
forward his proposition as a substantive motion,
in consequence of the refusal of the Government
to afford the necessary permission. It was only by
the exercise of his constitutional right as an inde-
pendent member of nfoving an amendment on the
question that the Speaker do now- leave the chair,
preparatory to the House going into a Committee
of Supply, that he was enabled to introduce the
Important subject. There could not, however,
be an amendment on an amendment, and, there-
fore, the notice of Sir J. PAKINGTON was thrown
overboard for the time being. Another oppor-
tunity will, however, speedily be afforded to the
Right Honourable •Baronet, and 'the result will
be a second discussion, in which all the members
who supported Mr. ROEBUCK will cast their
weight into the scale with Sir Jona. PAKINGTON,
and the result may be vary different from that
attained last night.

her captivity as the period of her happiness, and
dot unfrequently rises to the dignity of a Sultana.
The mother of the present Sultan was a Georgian

Viziers and Pashas have been accustomed to look
for their wives. Middle-aged women from these

districts become trusted domestic servants, and the

But although Mr. ROERUCK eventually with:
drew his motion, he has rendered important ser-
vice to the cause of truth and justice. The coun-
try will feel the extraordinary impropriety of
placing such men as Sir JOHN M‘NErr, and
Colonel TuLtocu on trial for having too faith-
fully and efficiently discharged the important
duty confided to their charge. There can be but
little doubt that the object is to screen the titled
and decorated officers inculpated by their Report—
to permit them to offer explanations, that may
avert the necessity of :feting on the serious indict-
ment preferred against them by the earlier Caul-
mission, and to tenable them to retain the high
rewards bestowed for conduct that ought to have
been treated in a very different manner.
One important result has already attended I
the ventilation of the subject, in Pgrliatnent
and in the publio journaN. The inquiry
will not be carried on in private. The
Coat will be is open one, and the prcead•

men have at every period risen from their servitude

to the most exaltedstations. European ambassadors
have met them in the field of diplomacy, and Sove-
reigns have invited them to their presence, and
conferred on them marks of distinction. The
slaves, by sheer intelligence, and the favour of
their easy taskmaster; have elevated themselves
to the rank of freemen, and the highest positions
coveted by them. On the poor Nubian or the
dusky child of Africa the pressure of Turkish
slavery has been most severe ; and heaps of
whitened bones iu the desert attest the miseries
this race has had to endure. But even he, on his
arrival in Turkey, has been blessed in comparison
with the American slave.

Let us not be misunderstood. Under every
form slavery is a curse both to taskmaster and
slave—an institution which cannot exist without

suffering and grievous wrong, and is incompatible

in the long run with the stability of any state.

All thLt we would insist on is that we aro not
called upon to demand in the one ease

what we would not think of doing in
; the other, though the motives for interference
were of tenfold strength. This, however, by no
means implies an abstinence from all interference
in the matter. On the contrary, we are under a
moral obligation to do what lies in our power
consistent with the sovereignty of the SULTAN and
the attainment of our object, the suppression of
slavery and the slave trade within his domi-
nions. It is still loft us to have recourse
to remonstrance and entreaty, and on these
reliance can best be placed. Already the
representations of our Government have re-
sulted in the abolition of the slave trade along
the coast of the Black Sea, and we have but to
persevere in our efforts in this direction to insure
ultimate success. Turkey is not a Christian
country, ansi slave holders and dealers are simply
following out a long course of E.sstern usage,
discountenanced by no religious authority
to which it defers, and wedded to the
habits and manners of the people. A. usage
of this sort, against which there can be advanced
no authoritative argument that will be recognised
save that of its injurious operation on the welfare
of the State, demands time and persuasion rather
than peremptory command for its abolition ;
otherwise we might see the Turkish nation rise in
revolt, and have to date from the deposition of the
SULTAN the renovation of Turkish slavery to al
its pristine vigour. The humanestefforts must be
tempered with discretion to be of service to the
cause of humanity.

By the telegraph from Liverpool it is reported
that the Royal Mail Australian Packet, James
Baines, was off Bally-cotton, on the South Coast
of Ireland, at 12 o'clock yesterday. This vessel
was expected with some anxiety during the last
week, as•sho was then considered to have made an
unusually long passage, if she left Melbourne on
the 25th November. No particulars of passengers,
or amount of gold on freight have come to hand,
and these are not expected until Monday, when
she will have been 98 days out from Port Philip.
Letters from St. Petersburg mention that the
telegraphic communication between that city and
and the capitals of Western Europe is now more
complete, and open to the commercial public. It
is thus that the latest intelligence of the state of the
English markets is known on the Bourse on the
following day. The quotations there are said to be
firm in the public Stocks, at the improvement
caused hythe probable establishment ofpeace. Tallow
and other raw produce, however, which at first
rose considerably, has been affected by the low
quotations in the Lmadon market, and have le-
ceded accordingly. In this respect, the Russian
traders are reckoning erroneously if they expect
that there will be as great a demand for their ex-
ports in the British markets as formerly, for the
war has increased the imports of tallow, seeds, &c.,
from our colonial possessions to Oat extent, that
if continued after the opening of the Russian
trade will materially diminish its amount.
The shipments of the precious metals during
the week to Thursday last have comprised—Gold
coin to Thlgiuni, 530 ozs. ; silver do. do., 300 bzs. ;
silver bars to Hainbro', 13,400 On.
The Scrip of the New Loan and Funding has
been issued to-day by the Bank of England, the
second payment of 10 per cent. being due on
Monday, the 3d inst.

The Sitnois arrived this evening at 6 o'clock.
Her dates are—The Crimea, the 16th ; and CON-

stantinople, the 19th.

The monetary crisis at Constantinople had a

ittle subsided.

Omer Paeba had tendered his resignation, but

it had been refused.

Letters from the Crimea state that, imme-
diately after the destruction of Fort Alexander,
the ruins of which now encumber the harbour of
Sebastopol, the Allies were using every exertion
to prosecute the mining operations for the explo-
sion of the Qaatirtiiiine Fort and that of St.
Paul, in order that all might be finished by the
15th instant.

The Russians continue to throw shot and shell
upon the craft employed by the Allies.
From Kertch we learn '"the Russians had dis-
appeared from the neighbourhood.

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

The Congress has not met to-day; it will sit to-
morrow.
The interval which elapsed between the first and
second sitting of the Peace Congress was employed
not only in preparing and copying the minutes of
the first meeting, but in deciding on the wording
of the convention of armistice, which was to be
signed in as many copies as there are contracting
powers.

A private letter from Stockholm, of the 19th,
received in Paris yesterday, mentisns that the Rus-
sians were sending troops in considerable numbers
to Finland, concentrating 'a large force round St.
Petersburg, and strengthening the barriers (already
mentioned) near Cronstadt, so as to completely
close up the entrance. With the feeling against
Sweden there would be nothing extraordinary in
the fact of Russia gratifying her spite by alarming
that Power, though under actual circumstances,
there can be no apprehension of attacking her.
Such warlike preparations going on so close to
Sweden will necessarily require corresponding pre-
cautions on her parr, and if Russia cannot declare
war against her she will do all she can to exhaust
her resources by compelling her to adopt extra-
ordinary measures of security. We hear it con-
stantly said by the Russians, and the partisans of
Russia here, that peace is certain,--that the Czar
is determined on making every concession,—and
that, in fact, there cannot be a doubt as to the
pacific issue of the Conferences. If such be really
the case—if all the chances are for peace, and riot
one for war, how is it that the Government
of St. Petersburg continues to speed millions
in massing large bodies of troops in those
places which in the itnprcbable event of a
rupture Would probably be the new battle ground.
We are assured by Russians, and by Franco-Ruu•
sians' that the character of the Russian Govern-
ment and the Russian people has undergone a
marvellouS thange within a Very short time.; that
no people have' acquired so sudden a yearning icr
peace, and for the works of peace, that the very
word " war" inspires as. much- horror in the breast
of every true Russ as it does in that of the most
self-denying member of the Peace Congress. It is
to be hopedthat the conversion is real, but it never-
theless accords ill with the facts mentioned. Such
sudden conversions aro at all times suspicious.
We read in the Emancipation of Brussels :
" In the letter which the Emperor Alexander has
written to the Emperor of the French, and which
evinces the greatest. moderation, the following pas-
sage is said to exist :—' Without repudiating
the policy of my father, I wish to prove by my
moderation that I desire to give peace to Europe,
and you may rely, Sire, that I will, in order to
attain that object, make every sacrifice compatible
with the honour of Russia.' It is added that the
Emperor Napoleon has replied that he entertained
the same sentiments ; that he also wishes to prove
to Europe that he would not foliow the warlike
policy of his uncle; that his programme had not
changed, and that ho would not depart from the
greatest moderation, because l'Empiie c'etait ton-
jours la paix."

The Funds op-ned quietly, but owing to the
arrival of the James Baines, with a large supply of
gold, the market has since become firmer. There
is an absence of animation, as usual, on
Saturday. Consols for money have been
91 to 911 and 91 1, while for account
they hare been 911 S and 9115 all the morning.
The Scrip is 1 prem. The New Three per Cents.
have been 921 and and the Reduced 91; to
911. Exchequer Bills have been 23. discount to is.
premium, and the Bonds 911. The Scrip is 01
premium.

Foreign Securities, though quiet, are firmer.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are higher, being 95 to 951,
and the Four per'Cepts. are 'narked 100. Rus-
sian 5 per Cents. are quoted, ex divilend, viz.,
1011 Peruvian 41 per Cents. have been heavy,
at 78-4 to 791, but the 3 per Cents, have risen to
56 and 57. Buenos Ayres Bands are 57, and
Dutch 2 per Ccrits. 631 to 64.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6;:1- 74; Mexican,

3 per Cents., 42 43 ; ditto Deferred, 23-?; ; ditto
Certificates, 41 5 ; Ditto Passive, 61 1. •
In Railway Stiares there has been very little
variation, but in some cases a slight advance is no-
ticeable.
North-Western are 3 and South-Eastern
higher than at the close yesterday. The Foreign
and Colonial lines are dull.

Mining, Banking and Miscellaneous Shares have
been steady. Royal Mail Steam, however, are 10s.

THE PACIFIC.—Great anxiety is manifested in Liver-

of. The Persia, British and North American royal
mail steamer, the first due from America is looked for
with much and eager anxiety, as likely to bring some
intelligence of th missing Pacific. The anxiety
naturally felt on account of this vessel has become pain-
fully intense by the publication, yesterday, of the an-
nexed information receive 4 by the keeper of the Ex_
nhange.News•room, from Glasgow :—" Glasgow, 27th
February.—The Edinburgh,. screw steamer, which ar-
rived here on the 14th inst., passed on: the 7th inst., a
large quantity of broken ice, and on it saw a quantity
of broken cabin furniture, five ornamental doer, with
white or glass handles, a lady's work-box, and some
other articles, such as would be in use in the cabin of a
firft-class ship or steamer. The Edinburgh was then five
