The opinions Of the London press vary in re-

also places in conspicuous place, but without
comment, a paragraph stating that the widow DE
Leuchtenberg eldest daughter of the Gar, as also
the Duke of Mecklenberg Streiitz and his wife,
who is niece to Nicholas, are ON the eve OF visit
ing England The Daily .Ne,rs cries shame on
the vacillation 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 or thought in reference to this
momenous question. The United States has recently
evinced disposition to sympathize with the ma
tons whose interests and aspirations are alike OPP
posed to arstocratic 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 neradi-
cable in their opposing systems OF religious and
political life. America is the land of religious
equality; Russia of sectarian intolerance and per-
secutiOn. America is the home of democratic
freedom; Russia of military aristocncy, captained
by military dcspotism. America is rapidly adopt
ing in her commercial intercourse the principle
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
mercal and religious policy; and the Cabinet at
Washington will undoubtedly be sustained by the
cheering approval of the whole Anglo Saxon race
on both sides of the Atlantic, if at this critical
juncture they prove themselves worthy of our
common origin"
The Morning Chronicle of the 18th instant has
editorial narrating the singular fact, if true,
that Russian emissaries are spread throughout the
northern dependencies OF China, endeavoring to
convert the allegiance Of the Buddists to the sove
regnty of Nicholas. The information is derived

Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian commander
in-chief Of the invading armies, has addressed the
following proclamation to the inhabitants of Mol
davia and Wallacha:
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 principalites,
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
imperial court has never ceased to give it since
to our most equitable proposals with reusals, and
opposes the most offensive suspicious to our most
disinterested 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, 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, his troops shall
return within the frontiers of Russia.
Inhabitants of Moldavia and Wallachia l also
execute an order of his Imperial Majesty in de-
claring to you that the presence of his Majesty
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 specuatons! Be obedent 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
solictude and the powerful protection of his ma
jesty the Emperor.

The new manifesto of Count Nesselrode was
published in the Journal of st. Petersburgh June
20, 90. 81 1t is an important document. The
following is synopsis:
'sThe note is entitled Russian Notification to
the European Powers -Circular--and is adj
dressed to sMr. --, 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 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 unheedcd Turkey refused the ultima
tunl, and the two maritime powers not having
thought fit to defer to the considerations recon-
lnended to their serious attention-they had sent
their fleets into the waters of Constantinope. BY
that advanced attitude the two powers have placed
Russia under the weight ofa 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 Bcssaraba had entered the
principalites, not to make offensive upon
the Porte, but to substitute for moral guarantee q
material guarantee, and to rc-establish the equili-
brium of the reciprocal situations by taking mil
itary position, inasmuch Russia regards the
presence of the fleets in Turkish waters as mar
thine occupation. But further than this, Russia
has no intention to hold the position longer than
her honor and security require, and soon as
Turkey shall have accorded satisfaction, and the
pressure exercised by the two powers shall cease,
the Russian troops shall return within their own
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
