can attempt is about to be made. il rs easv to
foresee, to create doubts to the resolutions of
the British government. 1t is our duty to warn
public opinion not to be mised on the subject.
The policy of England is not carried on by the
sole will of the crown. This policy is inspired
and even commanded by public opinion, which
moves and Expresses itself with sovereign liberty

the ministers are necessarily all members--no one
being able to enter either Of the legislative cham
bers except he belongs to one by hereditary right
or the other by election. In such country it is
known in advance what the government will do,
and the explanation it gives is an homage rem
dered to the power of opinion, and not a detailed
statement of the projects of the executive gov-

| The Emperor of Russia had been on visit Of
inspection to the forts at Cronstadt, Risbarch,
and Cronschlot.
| A letter from Vienna, dated June 80, published
in the Journal de FRANKFORT, says:
Communications from Odessa state that trade
is completely stagnant, from the apprehension felt
of seeing the port suddenly closed and all expor-
tation and Importation of goods being rendered
impossible. The news from the Danubian princi-
palites is just as discouraging; no one has any
confidence in the future; and at Jassy and Galitz
the foreign firms are getting in their capital.''
Another from Genoa, of the same date, pub
lished in the Parlamento, says that many persons
had applied to the Turkish consul there to be en-
| ployed in the Sultan army, but the consul de-
! clned their services, as he had not received any
| instructions on the subject.
| The following compose the present cabinet of
Russia:

and Minister of War, President of the Imperial
Council, and of the Ministry g. Count Nessel-
rode, Chancellor of the Empire, Privy Councillor
and Minister for Foreign Affairs; his Assistant

AS a further favorable indication, it may be
mentioned that St. Petersburgh correspondents re-
port that great many high officials and officers
continue to leave the capital flrloughs, in pur-
suit of pleasure and health. 1t appears be con-
coded, however, that any movement in favor of
the Greek Church would greatly increase the po-
pularity of the Russian government at home.
| Regular advices from Constantinople are only
as late as June 20, six days, at least, before
Russia marched her troops across the frontiers
From the Journal de- Constantnople of the 10Th of
June, and other sources, we CLEAN the following:
| eat o'clock on the 10th, NJ Argyropulo went
to the Porte, and had half an hours conversation
with Redschid Pacha, who delivered into his
hands the reply to the ultimatum. In most mild
and conciliatory language the demands of Russia,
as contained in Count Nesserode' s note, were re-
jected, for high (hates raso,,s connected
with the dignity, rights, and sovereign independ-
ence of the Sultan. Should the threat which had
been held out, that in case of the rejection of
the note the Russian troops would cross the from
tiers, be put into execution, 'the Imperial Gov
considering it declaration of war.
SIN consequence of what had occurred, NJ
Balabine left on Friday, taking with him the ar
chives, valuables, and several vessels unfit for
service which were at Constantnople. M. Ar
gyropulo is still at Constantinople. The Turkish
Isemi-ofticial journal, after speaking in most fiat
tering terms of the high qualities Of the Emperor
Nicholas, and the earnest wish of the Porte to
oblige him, observes: Turkey has made all the
sacrifices which possible. If it went further,
it would sacrifice its dignity, fortune independ-
encc and existence Culture. The article con-
cludes with the expression of anardent wish to
see the different members of the Russian Empire
return to their posts.
"The frigate Meshidshe has gone to Smyrna to
fetch troop of militia. Other vessels have
brought soldiers from Beyrout and Brussa. On
the 10th the Niger and Retribution reached Con-
stantinople. The first vessel brought the news of
the arrival Of the united fleets at Besika bay The
English fleet has 5000 men, with 700 guns; the
French 10000 men, with 900 guns. The three
decker Fredland, with 100, the Jena, with 80,
and the Marengo and Duperre, with so guns
each, are expected. The Journal opines that,
should collision occur, admiral Dundas would
have the chief command of the fleet, and French
general of any troops that might be landed
'sA correspondent of the Trieste Zeitung writes
that the Turkish fleet has 1000, and the Russian
Black Sea fleet 1880 guns. According to the
Turkish accounts, the army already consists of
26O,O 900 men; 100000 volunteers have already
presented themselves The Turks are working
hard at the block-houses on the heights which
command the entrance to the Bosphorus from the
Black Sea. Lord Stratford has recently been
twice to the seraglio, where his stay was very pro-
onged st is expected that at tho first movement
OF the Russian troops toward the frontier the fleets
will come to the Bosphorus.
