LAcoNIc coRREsPoNDENoE--rHE GAR AND THE SULTAN,
The following is said be the substance of the letter
addressed by the Emperor Nicholas to the Sultan and
transmitted by Prince Radzvil:
" The revolutionary element has been suppressed The
Hungarian war Is at an end send to You my aid de
camp who will submit to you various demands calculated
to ensure the maintenance OF ORDER
ne reply OF the Sultan to this arrogant epse orward
nearly as follows
our aid -de-camp has demanded from me the extra
dltion OF the Hungarian refugees This demand being of
nature to cast odum the powers entreat your
imperial Majesty not to insist on the point"
POLICY OF FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
Wecopied, yesterday, the announcement by the Pari
Journal des Debats Of its opinion that the Russo Turkish
question coudnot result AS the article of the De-
bats processes to give the purpo Of Lord Pamerstons
note to St Petersburgh, subioin its continuation
"For our part we have never believed that serious
quarrel could arise from such a. cause but we thought
that, having broken forth in such violent manner Rns
honorable retreat and endeavor to withdraw its armour
proper from the game in the most skfu manner possible
We have to believe that after the departure of
Prince Radzivi nj. Titof made overtures to the Di-
van WIN lch were equivalent to a complete withdrawal of

such strange paths 1t fact said that when the idea
OF making the exorbitant demand for extradtlon was
started the ministers and advisers of the Gar endeavored
to turn him from the project by representing him the
disastrous effect which could fail have among the

obtained from their master nearly follows =

the note which the English Government has addressed to
ST. Peersburgh, and which longer a secret 10 anv
one This document, which has been already communi-
Gated the French Government and almost even to the
PUBLIC, with an eageness which is proof of inexi-
Die determlnaon, begins by admitting the great services
which Russia las rendered to the cause of European
peace by lending the aid of its army to suppress the HIM
gaIan lnsurrecton and the ncontesabe right which she
has to demand that the rebels should not remain near her
frontiers on the Turkish territory But does she not run
the risk OF compromising the fruit OF her efforts and of her
victory by putting forth claims against the vanquished
which wound the principles of liberal Europe?
The note adds that without wishing to discuss the
question OF right although open to discussion the Eng
ls Government cannot admit that in the nineteenth CEN
rury, with the progress which universal civilization has
made any State could demand from its neghbors the ex

generosity Will ind an echo in the magnanimous heart of
the Emperor Nicholas and that the English Government
