LONDON, july Is, 1853.
Several weeks, you are aware, have now elapsed
since the Eastern question reached crisis appa-
rently involving the chances not merely of q war
betveen the Gar and the Porte, but something
verv lika ! general European confagration. Dur
ing this psrSod ~ xIaatE;1 tseg hEs sEYs
re.s.ss = Is 3he ipA Hons u the Two Governments
Of England end France, and the position OF the two
;f not belfeerent yet contending Powers. The
fn1s have been under the hourly influence of those
yeports, many Of which no doubt originated in a
desire to exert such an influence, and bulls and
bears, consols and yentcs depended for their specu-
lations and their prices upon the vibrations OF the
telegraphic wires Public opinion hasyacllated, in
the wake Of these rumors, often with the most ad-
mirable contempt of judgment or common sense
The funds have appeared to be the chief deitles, II
not of England and France, at least OF London and
Paris and the public pulse has beat faster or SLOW
er according to the oraces by the priests
of those new Delphi the stock exchange and the bourse
The funds of other countries have been affected by the
nervous sgtations experienced in London and Paris;
and the ephemeral phosophizings Of daily journals
and the echo Of the sentiments and opinions expressed
in the comments of foreign papers, and the crude and
hasy and party statements of our correspondents from
Vienna and Constantnope," have continually affected
the state of the funds and the state Of opinion in Lon
don and by return action the funds and the opinions
of continental Europe This is the simple rationale OF
the state of public feeling at least in London and conse
quenty in England. We cannot think that such state
of fuctuaon and uncertainty in the public mind is de-
srable and of opinion that little more intor-
nation dropped from the lips of Ministers would to
very considerable degree obyate it. We do not ask for
copy Of the last note which has been dispatched to
Gnvar hut we
could do no harm and might produce considerable good
if the English people knew in what light their Govern
ment viewed the occupation Of the Danuban proyinces
whether the English and French fleets absolutely at
the disposal Of the SULTAN and, If so whether 1t was
the intention Of the Allied Powers consider the Rus
sian uaatam which under circumstances what
ever could be admitted and support the Sultan cord
alg as well as formally in its absolute rejection The
motions proposed by the Marquis of CLAsnIcARDE and
Mr. LArAaD have been postponed sine de rumor Is
very prevalent that the Cabinet divided to the
to be pursued and that while Lord JoHs RussELL ana
Lord PALmrnsrox are in favor Of redeemng faithfully
and fully the pledge which has beer - me SULTAN
I,. AnvnnvrY and CL.p1sDoS are desirous OF draw
;h..l !. the eleventh hour, and giving up the ine-
-. 20 ,he ottouan Empire TO the unjust demands OF
the CxAR.
c,.nrynoy made certain inquiries of Baron BEUSow,
whn
;neri master but think the people ought to know
.omeAng respecting the views entertained by their own
M;psters upon the subject at issue
th respect to the real state Of the question between
turkey and Russia, we know scarcely any thing more
Than we did last week We know that the Emperor has
very much increased the OF the question:
and very materially enhanced the difficulties of giving 1t
a paci6c solution by his occupation Of the Danuoian
nrincpaties We know that NICHOLAS has again spoken
70 Europe through Count NEssELRoDE and that this new
;neral manifesto does not say the difficulties between
Rn,sa and Turkey cannot be arranged, but 1t gives
new twist to political complications by declaring that the
Fmperor will not withdraw his troops from the prnci-
pates until the pressure exercised upon him by Eng
land and France shall be removed and further that he
win not withdraw his troops within the Russian frontier
until Turkey has granted the satisfaction due to him
To this statement Of the present position of this absorbing
subject we can only add that the Frepeh Government has
applied to the English Cabinet 60 ascertain It's views re-
spectng the last manfes, and put the question Whe
ther the time 1w arrived for England and France
- oate decided demonstration In other words, tc
e rders for ner fleets to enter the Dardanelles Or
the other hand, the from Consautinople is thai
an, ambassadors Of France England and Austria at tha
otv on learning passage Of the Pruth by the Rus
sns had an pcerview with the Sultan for the purpos,
of praypg not to the fleets to enter the Dar
aaneles and that the Sultan had acceded to their
ouo,t limiting himself protesting against the violation
Of his territory. There is good deal Of anxiety
stoned by the great accumulation Of Austrian troops and
munitions of war; within the Austrian territory it is true
but ON the very borders Of Turkey Some Of the strong
antAustrian journals aege that this force Is concen
trated there for the purpose Of making similar inroae
into Bosnia as that which the Russians have done into
Moldava and wallachia; others Of the more decided
anti Russian papers say that these troops thus brought
to the borders Of Turkey assist her against Russia
land should IT be necessary, whilst England and France
are protecting her at 1t is known that the British
French, and Turkish ambassadors have many conference
with the Russian ambassador at Vienna AS precau
ton against surprise the Porte has suspended the per
mission under which merchant vessels coming from thu
Black Sea now enter the Bosphorus by night. Money
being the snews Of war; the friends of Turkey will b.
glad TO hear that the bank has contracted TO furnish
the Government loan Of 10000 900 pastres item mil
lion doars Greece is said to be arminr secretly 1,
meet all eventualites" The Government has not de
termned upon any line Of conducts for although IL hates
the Turks for goneby tyranny and volance il is though
to dread still the despotism Of Russia The Port,
is about publishing manifesto in reply to that of Rus
sia The merchants Of Odessa ordered to confn,
themselves in their letters matters Of business and
friendship and communicate information respect

Russian has also taken the post Offices in the
