We stated last week that the Eastern question appear
ed to be fast approaching pacific solution We do not
any doubt that conclusion, but sorry
to say able to report any decided advance to-
wards it. Lord ABERDEEN and the FRENCH AMBASSADOR
made speeches the civic banquet in London on Satur
day evening which interpreted very favoraby but
nothing definite or decided comes from St Petersburgh.
The Paris Constitutional says
If we are well informed, the following is the true
PLANTATION of the delay Of the prompt and pacific solution
Of the Turco Russian difference SO generally expected
When the Emperor Nicholas received the divers PROPOSE
tons or the Western Powers tending to bring about
friendly compromise he thanked the representatives OF
those Powers for their good Offices The Car even
knowledged that the projects submitted TO him were OF
nature to permit the hope of solution but added that
he compelled decline the intervention of the West
Powers in this debate, in form purely ocense
ami friendly. In word the Emperor Nicholas does not
recognise any right either for France, England Austria
he
personal TO Russia and Turkey and regards only those
nations In consequence, the Gear is said to have
declared that however eonciaory the propositions made
by the Western Powers be- he could only entertain
and them in far they might be addressed
him directly by the Diyan, in the Of the Turkish
Government. Now, taking the most favorable view Of
the possible it is permissible suppose that in
conformity with this resolution has been decided to adj
wise the Sublime Porte itself to propose Russia
rangemen founded doubtless upon basis similar to that
Of the projects submitted to the Car by the Western
Powers. Turkey, for her part before attempting this
and last means viii have desired be assured that
the proposition she about make officially would not
be rejected and this explains the oceuse and premina
~ communication the Car spoken in the Geographic
despatch from Berlin. We have seen, from the text Of
the despatch ITSELF that the proposal of Turkey will not
arrive at ST. Petersburgh before July % at the soonest
aad the answer cannot reach Constannope till the 9Th Of
August 1t results from all this that the official note of
eschd Pacha, which is afterwards be taken the
Gar by Ottoman ambassador, will certainly not be
mitted to him before August 5 1t WILL therefore, not
be TIL the end or August that can learn IN Paris the
defnitiye conclusion of the oRussian difference
suning always that nothing ;ntervenes hamper the
progress Of the negotiations that unforeseen event
should compcate the Eastern question, and that the
Emperor OF Russia is really disposed to lend himself with
good grace to the speediest possible arrangement"
This view Of the Constitutional is we are afraid the
real state of the cGse something very ii for
learn from other quarters that very important communi
cations have been addressed to the Russian Government
by the Porte, and that these communications viii be
transmitted through and supported by AUSTRIA. They
precede official note of REscHID PAcHA, which is to
form the subject of extraordinary mission But the
Porte DESTROYS to avoid useless STEP wishes to be pre-
vousy informed whether Russia is disposed to accept the
project contained in these preliminary communications
In the mean time dangerous excitement prevails Con-
srAsTlSoPLE among the people, who understand
what to them the feeble and datory policy adopted
by the PORTE at the suggestion Of France and England
The fleets still Beska Bay The protest Of the
PORTE against the Russian occupation of the prncpa
ties has been forwarded ST. Petersburgh til said
be drawn up in very moderate but the time very
dignifei and energetic terms Turkish reinforcemsnts
continue to be sent 10 Shumla where the army this
time number 100000 men. Four Turkish vessels have
entered the Black Sea watch the coast and If needed
10 repel the Russian cruisers The fears that Mniste
rial crisis would at Constantinople when news
reached that city relative to the Russian occupancy Of
the ncipaites were not gr0undlesS. In fact, the
GRAND VIzIER and REscHID PAcHA were displaced for
few hours but speedily restored to Office 1t unfor
tunatey happens that there parties both in Rus
sia and Turkey party and peace party There
is the old Muscovte party in Russia restless and dssa
tsfed which in its hopes almost realizes its long, long
dream that gives Russia Constannope and the sunny
Bosphorus and there is in Turkey the old osem party
which furiously for the fight with the I" nfdel
dogs though STEAMBOAT should bury Turk and Rus
sian in destruction. Tothese parties is
glorious and peace contemplate They have to be
trol.ed tanned managed by the more enlightened and
advancing portions Of the people Of Russia and Turkey
NICHOLAS may be strong enough by chastisement and
promise, to make cid Muscovy bde the hour The SrL-
has, it Is sad already frightened the bowstring round
the necks Of some fifteen persons who were at the head
Of conspiracy to set him aside and to place his brother
the better hope Of old Turkey on the throne This old
Turkish party, goaded to fury by the insults Of Russia
resents the protective restraints Of the Christian Powers
almost hercey the aggressions Of Russia and would
rush heaong into war; careless Of the result and would
rather bury themselves under the ruins Of the Empire
than remain tranquil under the insults Of their great
Northern antagonist During the short deposition Of
REscHD PAoHA from the Government it is said that the
Sultan had gone far to name Generaln-chief to
open the campaign against Russia This step was pre-
vented however and REscHD PAcHA replaced by the in
reference and counsel Of the British ambassador There
Of good deal Of agitation in the Aatc pro-
vinces Of Turkey, and Of disturbances at Mecca We
