any representations of its final course but far

be formed in the present instance it that there
certainly been an example in history of nation
rushing into act of aggression equal in recklessness
that which Russia viii peperate If she forces matters to
their dangerous conclusion"
The improvement Of both the French and Rngsh funds
after the publication of the Russian manifesto indicates
that the foregoing views in accordance with the general
sentiment in London and Paris The mission Of the Aus
trian messenger Count GyuLAI to ST. Petersburgh is
generally supposed to be another favorable sign The
Vienna correspondent Of the London Times considers the
Counts mission as part Of pre-arranged affair Russia
he deems quite incapable at present Of coping with the
opposition which ker has evoked but supposes
that it agreed that, to appearances, small
Russian corps should the Danuban provinces that
then Austria should employ her influence with the En-
perOr NICHOLAS, who would express his willingness to
listen TO the friendly counsel Of such faithful ally
The opinion prevail in quarters likely to have
information that the prefer Of good Offices the part of
Austria viii commence only when the Daruban pro-
ynces occupied by the Russian, and the straits Of
the Dardanees entered by the combined fleets and that
then direct explanations will be found necessary between
Russia the hand and England and France on the
other The correspondent Of the Times also throws out
| the following suggestion:
81 is also believed that in order to effect under
standing between Russia and turkey, NJ de Bruck viii
propose to change the frmans of the 9TH instant into
convention in which, contracting parties, all the
Powers who signed the treaties Of 1871 would By

she demanded was treaty. and that her demand had
been complied with On the other hand, Turkey might
say that what she had under menace refused TO one
Power exclusively she had hesitaed grant to all
the great Powers united for the purpose Of maintaining

All this IS of course, supposton, but It has
FEASIBILITY on its side. The INVASION however, is fact
and it is observable that the French papers to be
eIasperated this step the part Of Russia than
the English. The Russian Ambassador at Paris had
interview with the French Minister Of Foreign Affairs in
relation quantity Of musket having been supplied
the Turkish Government, which " Kisselef complained
of Indictment Of war against Russia NJ. Drouyn
de Lhuys gave the following explanation:
He said that there was nothing contrary to prece-
dent CT inconsistent with the excellent relations exist
ing between France and Turkey, in ceding, at the
quest Of the latter certain number Of uskets, 40 600
instead Of 6ooo0 az first mentioned Such services
mutually rendered byGovernments aicabe terms with
each other and he denied phaticay that it could be
construed into act Of hostility to Russia, iuasnuch
there was no declaration Of made by that Power
against the Porte He trusted that that explanation
would be sufficient lie should feel regret if not
bu. he had none other give It is said that NJ de ks
selef appeared quite satisied-in diplomatic
with the explanation"
We have scarcely information enough yet to form de-
cded opinion respecting the likely to be pursued
by England and France The London Examiner has
strong article condemnaory Of Russias policy toward
Turkey, but it throws light upon the immediate poll
cy Of England The London Times also has article on
the Cars manifesto but il breahes no prophecy respect
ing Engands under the circumstances The Daily
News mentions that the British Cabinet sat for four
hours the % Of July when the the Gar had
given orders for his troops to move reached London but
thus leaves the future in doubt
" As the case stands the public Of national honor
deeply pledged for the preservation Of Turkey puts he
station out Of the question The Porte refused Prince
Mensehkof demands consssedy and VIGOROUSLY by the
advice Of Lord STAFFORD and NJ de Ia Cour and in rei-
the Of both that England and France
would never consent 10 any further Entertainments Of
Russa-any national burglary-on either side Of the
Danube. That encroachment IS now about to be made
VIII il be repealed and punished!"
The Paris press speaks pointedly and the facts
that the French journals say only what the Government
permits them say, and that nearly all Of them speak
almost the language lead the inference that the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs has given the cue They AL
maintain that the passage Of the Puth by the Russians
is q violation Of treaties The Steele has the following
which appears have made considerable impression in
Paris:
"The Gar in spite Of treaties justice and Of inter
national law nvades the Turkish territory. II will
doubt be said that the question Of the invasion Of the prn
cipalides is case Of Certainly neither England
nor France can declare themselves virtually at with
Russia because that Power violates treaty between the
Gar and the sultan Is for tie latter 10 take the Eid
