n In answer to question put in the House o
Lords by Earls Mamesbury and Derby to the
'' Earl Of Aberdeen, asking whether the govern
ls rnent had received any information of the occu
: patton Of Bosnia by Austrian troops, the latter
stated that no such information had been re-
cciyed, nor had any despatch from the Austrian
: government, imp! wing the probability OF such
o occapa.ion. Lord John Russell, in the House
II Of Commons, made similar statement, adding
also that he believed the report had arisen from
the movement Of troops TO Peerwardicn VIII ch
i is within Austria S own territory. He also said
e in answer to Mr.. ID Israeli, that the new cir
Z cular, purportng 10 be Count NesseIrodc S,
was an authentic document, that the Russian
government could not substantiae the assertion
:. II made, that the entry Of the Russian troops
! into the Danube provinces was caused by the
r appearance of the English feet in Turkish wat.
ers. Next evening Lord Lyndhurst asked the
; Ear, of Clarendon if he concurred in these
views The Earl replied that he considered
f there was wide difference between the stua-
ton of the fleets in Besika bay and that of the
Russian army in the provinces of The Danube;
for, while one was neutral ground, the other
was no. and the presence OF the feet in the
Turkish waters could be off nee 10 Russia.
/ With respect TO the course of Britain on the
eastern question, cannot do better than
4 adopt the words of the London Times, which
says, editorially, (dale the Ilth J ssThat the
! question, as it now stands, may be summed up
in very brief terms. If the Emperor Of Russia
is desireus of escaping from the position in
| which he has placed his empire, the East |
and the other nations of Europe, he can do so,
even after all that has happened, without diff
Guilty The British aud French governments
had already ntimated that, after he had
executed his threat of occupying the principal
| ities they did not regard that invasion as an
Immediate casus Tell, but should seize that op-
| p 'rtunisy to make final attempt at negotiation
We believe .hey have acted on this principle
| About the middle Of last week, and immediately
after The receipt of the intelligence that the
Russians have crossed the Pruth a proposition
was adopted by the British government, to
which we presume that France has given her
assent, containing such an amount of conces-
sion as the Porte may, in the Judgment of its
allies, he advised to make, and the Russian
government may, if it think fit, accept With.
out entering more particularly into The nature
repeatedly been said that nothing need prevent
the Porte from making collective declaration {
to all the powers as to the rights of its Chris.
tan subjects, and that the Porte would also be ,
ready to renew by fresh engagement, though ,
not to extend, the rights already claimed by !
Russia under existing treaties On some such {
terms fresh negotiation may Pc haps be opened
and if Russia acceed to them, little doubt need {
be entertained of its prompt success. Suppos-
n that this is tnI, T.
way 10 st. Petersburgh week or ten DAYS {
more may elapse before the acceptance or re-
lection of ii can be known here. Beyond Ibis
fact any hing else must be coDiectural and
speculative; for one man IS almost as we'll qua .
lified as another 10 draw an inference, from ,
what is already 6noWn, as TO the future course !
OF the Gar Supp sing that the dispute is not i
speedily, settled on the terms suggested, it is /
easy 10 ioresoe what the policy OF Russia will /
be. Her object viii be to protract as much as, |
possible the present suSPensr; TO exhaust the i
resources of Turkey, by kecping her in state .
of alarm and of military preparation far beyond
her means; to reach, II possible, that season of
the year when The allied fleets OF France and
England can no longer hold their anchorage off
Tenedos, and when the Baltic is altogether in /
accessible; and, finally, to occupy The pfinci- !
paities in such strength during the ne xt autumn
and winter that she may be enabled TO advance
pS9bid tHc IdiiuDr VIII lETcSlSllDlS power IN
spring. Russia declares she has at present no q
ntention Of carrying war beyond the principal t
lilies. We should believe her even If she were
bent on war, because if she could make a
good her position, she would have gained, |
without firing shot, all the advantages she a
could anticipate from first campaign, and in I
the position which the other powers have as
sumed iii this dispute, the fleets would be con.
demned to watch, perhaps for months the course l.
of events over which they had no control. Such 7
a state of things would be injurious to COM Y
merce, and inconsistent with every interest she h
has at stake in the question. The duly of Eng il
land and France is, therefore, if possible TO c
bring the matter TO an imme date end :" 5
The sentiments expressed in the above are
pretty generally entertained and, while the o
public of Britain strongly averse TO the sup
position that the Emperor Nicholas will be OBJ ,
stinate enough TO press mltters 10 hostilties I
the necessity for an immediate adjustment, of t,
some kind. is freely admitted This feeling is
causing men of all parties to back up the gov
which-cautiously, it is true, but r
iirmy-s supports the Of Turkey At the :
same time, (ur correspondent repeats the ii
public mind cannot bring itself in the probabi- :,
lty of war. =
Opinions of the London press vary. The
Times labors TO prove that Russia should be let
alone. 1t also places in a conspicuous place,
but without comment paragraph stating that u
the widow De Leuchtcnberg, eldest daughter U
of the Gar, as also tie Duke of Mecklenburg n
Str ltz and his wife, who is niece to Nicholas
are on the eve of visiting England. The Daily
News cries shame on the vdciila'ion that has :,
been shown by the Brit sh cabinet, and hopes =
that France, at least will stand by the Sultan. h
The News adds
"But there is another power of whom little c

evinced disposition TO sympathzc |

have hitherto been few occasions for the open G
of that anagonism which is in S
st nctve and ineradicahe in their opposing sys- u
TENS of religious and political life. America is a

wherever her whitening Influence extends, every

given proofs of earnest desire TO lbcralize her
and religious policy; and The cabi- U
net at Washington will undoubtedly be sustained ="
by the cheering approval of The whole Anglo- u

this critical juncture they prove themselves

The Morning Chronicle of | lth inst, has an q
editorial narrang the singular fact. if true, that
Russian emissaries are spread throughout the J
northern dependencies of China, endeavoring II
to convert he allegiance of the Rhuddists to the
sovereignty of Nicholas. This information is d
derived through French missionaries.
