On former occasions we have seen t:t the Coalition
Lad invariably some fitting for postpaning every
even the smaller measure Now with respect to Ind,
their pospOnng propmsities are supported by the pub
nc opinion OF two worlds. The people of England AM
the people of India simultaneously demand the postpone
ment Of all the legislation Indian aars until the voice
OF The natives shall have been heard the necessary
terias collected, the pending inquiries completed
Petitions have already reached DOwning-st from the
three Presdencies deprecating precpitae legislation
The Manchester School have formed an Indian So
"clety which they will put Immediately into notion 10
get up public meetings in the metropolis and throughout
the country for the purpose of opposing any legislation
on the subject for this session Besides two Parliament
AIRY Committees sitting with a view report
spectlng the state of affairs in the Indian GOvenn ent
But this time the Coalition Ministry is inexorable 1t
will not wait for the publication of any Committees ad
vice Ii wants TO egslate instantly and directly for $50
millions of people and 10 legslate for % years at once
Sir Charles Wood is anxious 10 establish his claim as the
modern Menu. Whence, of sudden, this precipitate
legislative rush of cautious political valeudina-
riaDs
They want to renew the old Indian Charter for a
period Of 20 years. They avail themselves of the
eternal pretext of Reform Why The English
ogarchy have presentiment Of the approaching end
of their days of glory, and they have very iustable
desire to conclude such treaty with English legislation
that in the Of Englands escaping soon from
their weak and rapaciOus hands, they shall still retain
for themselves and their associates the privilege Of
plundering India for the space of 20 years
On Saturday last dispatches we're received by
telegraph from Brussels and Paris, with news from
COnstantinOple to May 49, Immediately after their
arrival Cabinet Council was held at the FOregnOice
which sat 3 hours and half On the day orders
sent by Telegraph to the Admiralty at Portsmouth,
directing the departure of two steam frigates, the
London 80, and Sansparei H. from Spithead for the
Mediterranean. The Highhyer steam-frgate q, and
Oden steamfngate is, also under orders for
What we're the contents of these dispatches which
threw ministers into sudden activity and inter
rupted the quiet duness of England
You know that the question of the Holy Shrines had
been settled to the satisfaction of Russia and according
TO the assurances Of the Russian Embassy at Paris and
London Russia asked for other satisfaction than
priority share in those holy places The objects Of
Russian diplomacy we're merely of such a chivalric
character, those of Frederic Barbarossa and
Richard C9ur de Lion. This, at least, told by
The Times But" says the Journal des Dtbats, on
the 9Th Of May the Russian steam frgate Bessarabia
arrived from Odessa, having on board Russian Colo
"nel with dispatches for Prince MenschikOf, and on
Saturday, 9TH inst the Prince handed to the Ministers
"of the Porte the draught of a convention special
treaty, in which the new demands aud pretensiOns
"were set forth This is the document called the ult
matum since it was accompanied by very brief nOte
fixing Tuesday, 10th May the last day on which the
"refusa or the acceptance Of the Divan could be
"ceived. The note terminated in nearly the following
"wOrds If the Sublime Porte should think proper to
"respOnd by refusal the Emperor would be compelled
to in that act the complete want of respect for his
]
of with profound regret"
The principal object of this treaty TO secure to
the Emperor Of Russia the PrOtectOrate Of all Greek
Christians subject to the Porte By the treaty of Kud
guk Kanardg concluded at the close of the 18th cenu
ry Greek chapel was allowed to be erected at Con-
stantinOple and the privilege granted to the Rus
sian Embassy of interfering in instances Of collision OF
the priests of that chapel with the Turks This prvi
lege confirmed again in the treaty of AdrianOpe.
What Prince MenchkOff now demands, is the CONVEX
sion of that exceptional privilege into the general Pro-
tectorate of the whole Greek Church in Turkey, e.,
of the vast majority of the population of Turkey ia
Europe Besides, he asks that the pariarchs of Con-
stantinODle AntOchia Alexandria. and Jerusalem as
well the metropolitan archbshops, shall be mmoyl-
ble unless proved guilty of hightreasOn, against the
Russians and then only upon the sent OF the Car
in other words he demands the resignation of the Sui
tans sovereignty into the hands of Russia
This the news brought by the telegraph on
Saturday: firstly that Prince MenschikOf had granted
a further delay until 18th inst, for the answer to bis
ultm0um that then change in the Turkish Ministry
onsued Reshid Pasha, the antagonist Of Russia being
appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and Fuad Efendi
renstaed in his Office; lastly that the Russian Ultima
tum had been rejected
1t would have been impossible for Russia to make
extensive demands upon Turkey after series of
signal victories This the best proof of the Obstnacy
with which she cngs to her nveterate notion that
nteTregnum of the cOunter-revOlutiOn in Europe con-
stitutes right for her to exact concessions from the
Ottoman Empire. And, indeed since the first French
revolution, Continental rerOgressOn has ever been
identical with Russian progress in the East Bat
Russia is mistaken in cOn0undng the present state OF
Europe with its condition after the congresses Of
Laybach and Verona, after the peace of Tlst
Russia herself is afraid Ofhe revolution that must
follow any general the Continent than the Sultan
is afraid of the aggression of the Gar If the other
powers hold firm Russia to retire in a very decent
manner Yet, be this as it may, her late maneuvers
have at all events impaired mighty impetus to the
elements engaged in disorganzing Turkey from within
The only question is this Does Russia act on her
free impulse she but the unconscious and reluctant
slave of the modern fatum, Revolution believe the
latter alternative. KARL MARX

Correspondence of The n Y Tribune.
LONDON, Friday May 81 1853
From the papers, you have seen how much the ORR
entail question has alarmed Europe When Prince
Menchikof made his insOlent propositions the English
were quoted by the great Russian organ, The London
Times; and the Ministers declared in Parliament that
the Emperor Of Russia had pledged his word to abstain
from any encrOachment on the rights of Turkey, and
they believed him. The monarch who violated the
treaties of 1915 by the abolition of the Constitution of
Poland and by the cOnfscatiOn of the Republican form
of Cracow was really believed until the acts of his Am
bassador opened the eyes of the Rearsighted English
Ministers But even now, they believe that the Car
will Yield and disavow his Ambassador because if he
should not and the rupture should become serious the
English Ministers would be in dsagreeable fix TO find
out some pretext under which they could abandon Tur
key to her fate England is wasting her treasures in
BuTmah but does for the interests of Europe
though she knows that the advance of Russia to the
