received by the steamer Arctic, and published in
the New York Herald, We derive the following:
The opinions of the London press vary in re-
gard to the probabilities Of war. The Times la
bors to prove that Russia should be let alone. 1t
also places in conspicuous place, but without
comment, paragraph stating that the widow DE
Leuchtenberg, eldest daughter of the Gar, also
the Duke of Mecklenberg- Strelitz and his wife,
who is niece to Nicholas, are on the eve Of visit
ing England. The DAILY .Nsics cries shame Oh
the vaciliation that has been shown by the British
Cabinet, and hopes that France, at least, will
stand by the Sultan. The .As,cs adds:
ssBut there is another power of whom little has
hitherto been said thought in reference to this
momenous question. The United States has recently
evinced disposition to sympathize with the ma
tions whose interests and aspirations are alike OPP
posed to aristocratic and dynastic oppression. Be-
tween Russia and America there have hitherto
been few occasions for the open manifestations Of
that antagonism which is instructive and ineradi-
cable in their opposing systems Of religious and
political life America is the land OF religious
equality; Russia Of sectaran intolerance and per-
secution. America is the home of democratic
freedom; Russia of military aristocmcy captained
by military despotism America is rapidly adopt
ing in her commercial intercourse the principles
of free trade; Russia labors necessarily To Destroy
wherever her whitening influence extends, every
germ Of competition. Turkey has already given
proofs of her earnest desire to Gberalize her
mercial and religious policy; and the Cabinet at
Washington win undoubtedly be sustained by the
cheering approval of the whole Anglo Saxon race
on both sides of the Atlantic, if ut this critical
juncture they prove themselves worthy of our
common origin"
The Morning Chronicle Of the 18th instant has
an editorial narrating the singular fact, if true,
that Russian emissaries are spread throughout the
northern dependencies OF China, endeavorng to
convert the allegiance of the Buddists to the sOve

Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian commander
in-chief of the invading armies, has addressed the
following proclamation to the inhabitants of Mol
davia and Wallachia:
Proclamation.
His Majesty the Emperor, my august lord and
master, has ordered me to occupy your country
with the armies the command of which he has
deigned to confide to me.
We come among you neither with projects of
conquest, nor with the intention to modify the in
stitutions under which YOU live, or the political
position which solemn treaties have guaranteed to
you.
The provisional occupation Of the princpalites,
which am ordered to effect is for no other pur-
pose than that Of immediate and eficacious pro-
lection in grave and unforeseen circumstances,
when the Ottoman government, distrusting the
numerous proofs of sincere alliance which the
1
the conclusion eff the treaty of Adrianople, replies
to our most equitable proposals with refusals, and
opposes the most offensive suspicious to our most
disnterested advice.
In his magnanimity, in his constant desire to
maintain peace in the East as well as in Europe,
the Emperor will avoid an aggressive war with
Turkey, SO long his dignity and the interests of
his empire shall prompt him SO to do.
On the day on which he obtains the reparation
which is due to him, and the guarantees which he
has right to claim for the future, stroops shall
return within the frontiers of Russia.
Inhabitants of Moldava and Wallachia also
execute order of his Imperial Majesty in de-
claring to you that the presence of his Majesty 5
troops in your country shall not impose on you
any fresh charges contributions that the forage
and rations for the troops SHALL in due time, and
at rate appointed and agreed ON in advance by
your governments, be paid for from our military
treasury.
Look TRANQUILITY to the future! Engage with
security in your agricultural labors and CONNER
cial speculations Be obedient to the laws under
which you live and to the established authorities.
1t is by the faithful discharge of these duties that
you will acquire the best claim to the generous
solicitude and the powerful protection Of his ma
iesty the Emperor.

The new manifesto of Count Nesserode was
published in the Journal of st. Petersburgh, June
20, 60. 81 1t is an important document. The
following is synopsis:
''The note is entitled Russian Notification to
the European Observation-Disclosures is adj
dressed to 'Mr. --, diplomatic agent, &c.
Commences by reminding that his (Nesselrode's)
circular of May 80 notified the rupture of Russian
diplomatic relations with the Ottoman govern
ment-that Russia had narrowed its demand to
the simple signature of note, which, except in
what particularly concerns the Holy Places, did
not contain, in respect of the general guarantee
claimed in favor of the church, anything more
than a simple confirmation of what Russia has
long possessed-that if this demand were not COM
piled with within eight days by the Porte,
more decisive than simple rupture of relations
would be taken; and in making this utimatum,
Russia has given particular explanations to the
great powers--had especially requested of France
and England not to complicate the difficulties of
the situation by their attitude This two-fold re-
quest was UNDECIDED; Turkey refused the ultima
tum, and the two maritime powers not having
thought fit to defer to the considerations recon-
mended to their serious attention-they had sent
their fleets into the waters of Constantinople. BY
that advanced attitude the two powers have placed
Russia under the weight ola threatening demonstra-
ton, which, as they were fOrewarned, has added
new complications to the crisis. Consequent on
this refusal and this demonstration the Russian
troops stationed in Bessarabia had entered the
principalities, not to make an offensive war upon
the Porte, but to substitute for moral guarantee a
material guarantee, and to rc-establish the equili-
brium of the reciprocal situations by taking mill
itary position, inasmuch as Russia regards the
presence of the fleets in Turkish waters as a mar
thine occupation. But, further than this, Russia
has no intention to hold the position longer than
her honor and security require, and as
Turkey shall have accorded satisfaction, and the
pressure exercised by the two powers shall cease,
the Russian troops shall return within their
confines But Russia does not in the least con
ceal how full of meaning is the attitude which she
takes, and what consequences may follow from it
should the Turkish government compel her to
