Administration and the Cabinet being now complete,
he would proceed to lay before the house sketch Of its
policy.
With regard to foreign Powers it would adhere to the
principle which had been pursued for the last thirty years.

pendent States in abstaining from interference in their
internal affairs, while at the time asserted our
own rights and interests; and above ALL in est

might be observed without any relaxation Of those defen
sye which had been lately undertaken and had
perhaps been too long neglected.
At home the mission Of the Government would be to
maintain and extend principles and 10 pursue

Peel crisis in financial arrangements would speed

THE TURKISH QUESTION.

We print this morning in the letters from cores
pondents ard IN extracts from British and French Jour
nails the fullest details as TO the recent proceedings at
Constantinople. They certainly bear warke aspect
but We are not convinced that Russia viii make war On
the grounds which have induced the sudden departure
of her Ambassador from COnstantinople. Ii she is
really determined on marching her armies against
Turkey, and on lighting up the fires Of general
European conflict, such has not been seen
since the downfall of Napoleon, she will first seek
some more plausible pretext for the Romentous step
than the refusal OF the Sultan to resign his authority
over his Greek subjects. The Autocrst will not so
completely defy the public opinion of the world 10
commence hostilities without some other cause But
that cause cannot long be wanting Russian agents
numerous and active not only in the Prncpalities Of
Modasia and Waacha, bu. in Seryia and, in fact, in
every part Of the Turkish Empire. They viii have no
difficulty in creating disturbances and instructions,
which will call for Russian Intervention aud thereupOn
MenchiEof will cross the Pruth at the head of the
powerful army under his command, and the dance will
begin. Once begun, all Europe will necessarily take
part in IT, If there bea il must prove terrible
one. Nor is il likely that AbsOlutism will carry of the
final victory
