THE .X&STERN QUESTION

PARIS, ScrxDAY..-:-The announcement in the Moniteur,
that the Emperor of 'Russia had accepted the.note for-
warded to him from,Vienna, produced an immediate effect
upon the speculatoreassembled on the Boulevards. Threes,
which closed 77.29 on Saturday, rose to 79.20.

A despatch, dated Vienna, eight p.m., Sunday, confirms
the report that the-acceptance of the Porte,is alone want-
ing to the propositions of the Four Powers.
PARIS, SITNDAT EVRNIN G.—The Globe'scorrespondent
says :—The news in the Moniteur does not inspire full
confidence, .03k. account of the condition attached by the
Emperor of: Russia ; there is, however, he thinks, no
ground of apprehension on this point. ccording to what
is said in the ministerial circles, there is no direct stipula-
tion on this_ subject, of the evacuation, of the Principali-
ties, but it was fully implied, and the evacuation will be
a natural, consequence of the acceptance of the propositions
of the Four Towers. _ _

The Times' correspondent says,—" It is not probable
that much difficulty will be foundan , that quarter, and he
believes•that no serious objection was raised by the Turkish
ambassador in Paris, to whom the propositions had been
previously submitted." The Times' correspondent now
sees- no serious obstacle to a Ratifi solution, except in an
insurrection at Constantinople._

No mention is made respecting the important point of
the evacuation of the Principalities, and the Herald's Paris,
correspondent remarks that the- /Ifoniteur's silence is IT
ng means satisfactory.

The Standard's city article says the pacific nature of
the news from St. Petersburgh has exercised a very con,
sideralle influence upon, the corn, tallow, and other
markets for the staple commodities of northern produc-
tion, but until more decisive intelligence be received, the
variations in prices might be considered as the result of
speculation.
The Standard, alluding to the statement that the Em-
peror of Russia accepts the project of mediation upon
condition that the Porte makes no alteration in it, and will
receive an ambassador at St. Petersburgh, if the Porte
sends one, says :.—" Why not send a Russian ambassador
to Constantinople or Vienna to treat, if there remains ate*
subject of dispute the whole affair is far too plainly a
mere dilatory device ; the statement, however, has pro-
duced some little reaction in the Funds, and further
information is, of course, anxiously expected."

The Sun. says it appears that up to. this moment no
positive information has been received in, reference to the
ultimatum decided upon by the English,. French, Austrian,
and Prussian representatives. No news even to the effect
that 5 had reached its destination ; yet, we are informed,
that matters are already brought to .a satisfactory settle.
ment. The Sun awaits more explicit intelligence.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their lordships met at five o'clock. The Earl of WICK-
LOW presented a petition, signed by sixty of the principal
supporters of the system, of National Education in Ireland,
complaining of the alterations recently made by the majo-
rity of the board, the object of the dominant party was
either to destroy the system altogether, or to get the whole
grant into their own hands, to neither of which would
parliament ever consent.
The Courts of Common Law (Ireland) Bill passed
through committee pro forma, and ordered to be printed.
The Naval Coast Volunteers Bill was read a second time.
The Public Libraries (Ireland and Scotland) Bill was re-
ported with amendments.
TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked what information had
been received by Her Majesty's Government as to the pro-
ceedings of the Russian authorities in the Danubian pro-
vinces of Turkey, and what steps had been taken by them in
consequence of such proceedings. He hoped he should be
told that this country bad taken a decisive step upon this
subject, and that the British fleet was at least before Con-
stantinople at the present moment ; for if the facts were true,
as stated in the public journals, there was no explaining them
away, seeing that they were in entire contradiction of the
circulars voluntarily issued by Russia. The occupation of
these provinces was either war or piracy. Good news had,:how-
ever, arrived this morning, to the effect that the proposals
sent from Vienna had been accepted. Unfortunatelythe house
did not know what those proposals were; but he was sure no
proposition would be recognised by their lordships which
did not include the immediate evacuation of the Byrn-
cipalities. At the same time news had arrived of the Russians
being in command of the inner navigation of the Danube.
This was a matter of the utmost importance to
.Europe..
The Earl of CLARENDON said he had no information to
give materially different from that which he had given five
days ago. in reply to a similar question. He agreed with his
noble friend, that the permanent occupation of the Pinn-
eipalities, or any thing like the permanent occupation of them
by Russia, was a very grave question; but tier Majesty's
