New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1853-07-22


,railon-tbe Marquis OF Claucarde last night
prevailed upon indefinitely postpone the motion resct
ng the affairs Of the East which stood for discussion this
cay with the understanding that the debate the House
Of Commons should also stand II is remarkable
circumstance that the Ministers Of the Crown had ony
asked for pOsiponement from Friday 10 Monday next
this the express ground Of Lord john Russe tenn
porary inoispOOn for although Lord Clarendon said be
could not undertake 10 affirm that nothing productive
Of inconvenience would arise from sucn debate
he declared his readiness 20 give the House such
Information bis Of public duty would allow
him to disclose The Government offered pnday for the
discussion and retain strong opinion that IL wold
have been wiser and useful adhere that arange
ment Our public interests and the spirit of our nu.
hoDs require that Parliament should be pu; officially in
scion Of the that have place
e present time and that the Crown should receive those
Of confidence and support which fail
when the interests and honor Of the country at
stale Far from believing that sach course would have
rendered negotiation hcut peace less
persuaded that the opinion of the Parliament of Eng
land, firmly dscreetly and, think may add unsoi-
nousy expressed, might have the greatest weight II
srenibeLg the hands of the Government their lsuda-
be efforts 10 restore peace There is danger which those
who pressed for this pOspOnement appear 20 have
oCkedtbst the silence Of both house, this free country
may be construed sign Of rrssoutOn, divided counse
or weakness On the continent, especially, it may be- mis-.
Interpreted and III understood though we in this country,
are well aware that arises solely from the consideration
Of statesmen Of al parties toward the executive power
The voice Of Parliament may yet be powerful in the
Of peace, for is probably by strong and united c0unes
alone that peace yet be preserved aud since the Rus
sian Court has put forth manifesto It Is not too soon to
other sde
The French Government have proceeded to answer
Count Nesselrodes circular 10 another form by dPsch
communicated their nts abrOa1-a measure they
the more b'und 70 take as the principal Arguments
ofibsi Russian State paper were expressly directed tst
the rival professions France 10 the question Of the Holy
Places N Drouyn de Lhuys memo andun is docu-
meDt Of great precision in argument and great moder. oI
In tone The French Minister Of 1888 di'poses OF the
main question 10 dispute by quotation from msn)r2n
dun by Count de 81 Priest the Ambassador OF Francs Al
Corsisntnope from l7Ce to 7s5 which so pertinent TO
the matter now in dispute that shall transcrbe the
pussge: The zeal OF Kings said NJ de - Priest
cha, been adorned with the title OF protection to the
"'Cstholic faith in the Levsnt but that tern -
"llusory and serves to mIslesd those who nave nor
"exsmined the thing The Sultins nave never hAd

1.-THE religion Of the subjects Of the Porte No Pnoce-S
~vAs very well said long ago by the Marquis de B)nnac
this Embassy-nO Pnnce Will permit shothsr 10
"Turks sensitive any other people on THIS point
"FrsDce, which has Away treated with the fCrte a.
"fient imposed on that Power such invoous Goa
"dODs; and the first point OF my instructions was 10
~syod giving umbrage TO the Grand SegnO by stretching
"those capitulaons which concern religious matters
This quotation is douby significant for il demolshes the
claim Of Russia TO the protection OF the Greek church
founded upon analogy with that exercised by France
IN favor of the Latins and it also shows that
france is prepared 10 desist from the extreme
sxiRences Of a similar nature which she had
at one moment put forward. NJ Drouyn de
Lbuys however has not hestaed TO state though mod
crate language tina the conclusion OF separate treaty on
this subject between the Porte and another power without
participation Of France would be act justfyng what
ever reservations she might adopt, Whatever
threats she mi ht in her turn utter This answer OF the
French Government credabe TO them in every respect
and have occasion TO advert to the conduct 'hey
have recently pursued these transactions we feel oound
10 add that acquainted with H. it has been
marked by great fairness and determination TO uphold
In with this country, those principles OF puoc
law which the strongest bond OF national interests ana
OF the general peace.
The Russian having crossed the Pruth and being
at the present moment in the occupation OF the Prncpa
ties great act OF egsty and violence has been done
which is not the less inabe because It was not
likely to encounter any direct formidable resistance
The nex que, is what is it e1pedent for the
Turkish Government and for the other great powers OF
Europe TO pursue On the whole We think the decision
OF the French and Eug sh Governments wise one ana
that the occupation of the Prncipaes ought not to be
made ground for Immediately sending the fleets TO the
Bosphorus For the purpose OF demonstration 'her pres
ence at the Dardsneles is sufficient For the protection
OF CODtantnspe itself they are near enough to give e
fectual assistance the capital be threatened Should
the fleets be compelled TO enter the Black Sea II can
only be in the character OF armed medatng powers
o the allies of Turkey for the purposes OF war
We believe, however that no positive decision has been
taken in London Paris this subject but the Am0a
sadOis OF England and France are invested vita sucet
powers the squadrons in certain given emer'
gencies The opinion OF the two Governments seems 70
be- that il desirable to defer strong aud peremptory
measure which would leave small hopes Of the mante
of peace until the time comes if should unhapPy
come all when the fleets would proceed to act against
an enemy In the meantime what have 10 look To is |
the possibility of eved negotiations under the media
ton Of all the Powers interested in the restoration OF tran
II
patton of the Prncpaes is because the several Courts
have still faith in the adoption OF arrangements which
must of course include the evacuation of that territory
From The Daily News Juy8
The plot thckens apace, and the clue is wanted Tie
Earl of Clarendon last night hoped there might be
peaceful solution" OF the Eastern question OF
ybody sincerely hopes but his lordshp did not say
that he expected there would be thing OF the kind
Lord Derby, Lord BrOugham and Lord Gray all joined
in request that the threatened discussion upon the Rus
sian inv might be postponed To acquant L Irh8
thu lilo ali that
could be elected in debate the subject of Russian
aggression Turkish prospects would in the opinion of
the House OF Peers be IudIciOus and the polite Lord
Clanrcarde postponed his threatened motion accordingly
This post ponement tall Monday, unless Mr. Layard
be induce 10 put of his mOuOn more IN which
the whole discussoniin both Houses of Parliament may
be adjourned sine die vs. the subject previously stood NJ
Layards second appointment for this day Friday but
parliamentary report will show how this arrangement
has been upset Is the eXhumer Of Nineyeh caloed or
is he himself caoler Is no prepared to take tina con
of repeated pOstpOnemens for the sake OF
pleasing the authorities does he SIMPLY raise the dag
OF inquiry TO prevent others from bringing the subject
before the House and the country The public ought -
be satisfied this point. When Sir C. Wood told the |
Secretary at War 10 postpone Mr. Lsyards motion with
out Mr.. LsyaIds leave, how far he justified IN the
step by former suppeness the part of the honorable
member for Aylesbury We have al along contended
thai the wlseS plan TO instruct public opinion 10 the fall

traveller explorer and Suhor might be able to shord in
formation 20 Parliament and the country about Turkey
We congratulated him and the public on the prospect of
good 70 be done and reputation 10 be acquired by the state
of hs view of the present state of the Sutan do
mnions and by the of his oNnOns on the tend
