LATEST ASPECT or THE TURKISH QUESTION.
In the House of Lords the 18th instant the Earl of
CLARENDON stated in reply to question by the Marquis Of
CLANRcARDE that the greatest unanimty exists between
the Governments of France and England the Turkish
question and that statement which had appeared in the
Paris Noniteur inserted in another column of our jour
nal) respecting the combined action of the French
and English fleets was perfectly correct The ambas-
sailors and admra of the two countries have been fur
nshed with instructions precisely similar in character,
and both Governments expect that their
Constantinoplc will the discretion and
Iteration in exercising the powers that entrusted
to them the advance of the fleets to the Dardanees
where they subject to the orders of their respec
tive ambassadors, being merely measure of precau-
ton designed to promote the pacific solution Of the diff
fculty In reply to question by Earl DERBY to the
date of the instructions which had been sent to the adj
mrals the Earl Of CLARENDON said he had forgotten,
but it was either the day or the day after that
on which Prince Menschikoff quilted Constantnople.
This announcement received with great cheering
Lord JOHN RUSSELL. in the House of Commons, made
similar statement, which was also well received.
The Russian Minister Of Justice arrived at Paris on
Saturday, the 18th june the bearer of pacific
dings than those which Prince MENscIKoFF announced
at Constannope, and on the following day NJ KIs-
sELEFF, the Russian Minister, had interview of
length with NJ. DRoUYN DE LHUYs, which is stated to
have been of satisfactory character The Russian Min
lister is said to have given to M DRoUYN LUHYs
of the pacific intentions of the Emperor NcHo
LAS who though he might occupy the Danuban provinces
by Russian troops, had intention of going further
and, least of ALL of attacking the integrity of the Otto
Empire-hs most anxious desire being do nothing
that would tend to disturb the peace of Europe tits not
stated whether given of the Emperors
intention to abandon any of his demands, but it
presumed that after such proceeding that of sending
Of his Ministers Paris reasonable hope be
entertained that pacific settlement of the question will
be the result
Baron MAYERNDoRF, the Russian Minister at Vienna
has returned to his post after prolonged absence and
believed to have brought pacific from his
Government though he spoke of the occupation of the
Danubian Provinces matter of course.
The Vienna papers state the authority of teeaphc
information, that the Russian Cabinet is willing
cept the mediation of Austria and they further say that
Count LEISENoES viii be to st. Petersburgh
special mission to bring the matter to hearing
PROM LONDON TINES JUNE 8.
We announced yesterday two facts which had just
to knowledge, with reference to the state Of affairs
in the East namely that Count NEssELRoDE the Of
the Russian Chancellor had arrived in this country and
that messenger had been dispatched from ST. Peters
burgh to Constantinople to address another summons
which may correctly be termed ahnaatua, to the
Porte. Taking these facts they reached us, they
seemed to belief that negotiations would be re-
newed both at Constantnople and in London but upon
closer examination Of the Of these missions they
appear hardly to deserve the Importance which has been
attributed to them. The courier Consantinope
is messenger, telddger who is the bearer of
peremptory demand the Turkish Government sign
within week. the last draught note proposed by Prince
MESscHIKoFF and in the event Of further refusal
the part of the Turkish Minister'S the Russian Govern
ment does dssembe its intention forthwith enter
and occupy the Danubian Principalites. At the same
time this is represented of coercion
Their than of conquest and in the very Of uerng
this Of menace, Russia distinctly repudates the i'm
putaon Of territorial aggrandzement and denies that
she is animated by any desire for the overthrow of the
Turkish empire. If this be all the eojgger his
way to Consantinople has to say, rather If this be
the purpor Of the dispatches which he carries leaves
little for negotiation there dnd, unless sudden
change has the Dvan, he will carry back the
same answer which was given the 2lst Of May to
more dignifed parsonage
While these appear to render the renewal Of
effective negotiations atConstantnople less probable than
had hoped, We cannot ascertain that the arrival Of
Count NEssELRoDE in this country has added any mate
rial facility TO the solution Of the difficulty This gentle
man was attached TO Prince MESscHKoFFs mission and
he has come here from Constantinople having passed
through Vienna and Paris lie is believe the bearer
to the several Russian missions of full particulars
the in which the late events and the failure Of the
embassy to which he attached occurred but, not
having been ST. Peersburgh since that occurrence he
is probably not acquainted with the latest views Of the
Russian Cabinet and he is not specially accredited TO the
Government OF this country Ii is rather informant
emissary that he appears been detached
from Prince MESscHKoFFs diplomatic staff and ordered
to visit the capitals Of Western Europe.
IT. therefore, there be still any grounds for expecting
that the pacific relations OF Russia and the Porte be
Immediately restored they appear to lie solely in the form
which may now by possibility, be given TO the last
demand of the Russian Court IL will be remembered
that Prince MESsCHIKoFp began his embassy by the de-
mand Of treaty which first to be kept secret
bracing in q formal manner the appointment Of Greek
patrarchs the protection Of the Russo Greek church
Turkey and the settlement Of the question Of the Holy
Places Upon the arrival of the French and English Am
bassadors about the 9th Of April this demand aban-
doned and the matter supposed have been dropped
impractcable. On the 9Th Of May the proposal
renewed in the modest form of sened convention
which, however, still had the form Of batera contract
Lastly the Of his departure and indeed after he
had affected TO break off relations Prince MESscuKoFp
offered TO accept the species Of concession in the
shape Of note This last proposal certainly free
from Of the grave objections which had been made
to the contract for diplomatic engagement in the form
Of declaration is susceptible Of explanation and
departure from ii is not 10 be regarded as cause
Of war But these technca distinctions have no longer
much Importance for the conduct Of Russia at this mo-
ment proof at she does wait for treaty or the
violation Of treaty 10 threaten hostes and from the
tone she has assumed and the preparations she has made
may be doubted whether there be any efectua
