deserve notice for the tact and skill which they display
The English Government has replied Count NEssEL-
ROBES second circular note by another in conformity with
that Of the French Minister Lord CLARENDON has
ed formally in the House Of Peers that reply the Rus
sian second manifesto has sent by the English Cab
net to st. Petersburgh; and that such was in
entire conformity with the opinions entertained by the
French Government" This is it should be- and the
response of the GEAR to Lord ABERDEEN may probably
Indicate how the Eastern difficulty is likely to be solved
Whilst such is the action and opinion Of England and
France find that circular has been issued by the
Austrian Government on the 4th instant:
The circular informs the diplomatic agents of the
Emperor that from the of the conflict be-
tween Russia and Turkey the Cabinet of Vienna has used
its best endeayors all sides to lead to friendly sou-
ton of the questions at ISSUE and to prevent compl
cations which might have endangered the general peace
While (says Count BuoD the Austrian Cabinet held to-
wards that Of Russia language dictated by the most SIN
friendship, and tending dssuade from the occu
patton of the prncipaties pointing out the numerous
inconvenience which that would entail 1t also
counseed the Dvan not to consider such occupation
of war; should it place. Notwithstanding all
efforts to the contrary. Moved by an equal desire TO
maintain the Ottoman Empire element OF European
equilibrium, and to preserve intact the intimate alliance
which unites Austria and Russia and which In our eye
constitutes of the strongest barriers against the at
tempts of the revolutionary spirit have concentrated
all to prevent general confagraton at the
time reseryng to ourselves full liberty OF action III
The Austrian Government is evidently DESTROYS to have
the difficulty settled in way conducive to the general
advantage and peace of Europe and that
this would be best done by preserving the integrity Of
Turkey But if the quarrel should be pushed to exrem
ties there is scarcely doubt that the Emperor Of Aus
tri would side with NICHOLAS. Whilst negotiation CON
tinues the Austrian Government will pursue policy
which shall extend exclusively the influence of Rus
STA the Eastern Church The Prussian Government
is cautious in expressing its opinion than the
Austrian one, but think speaks plainly enough that
in case Of war; it would not be found arrayed against
Russia The latest indication at ST. Petersburgh is the
second note of Count NEssELRoDE From Constannople
the last oil the fears which enter
tanned that Ministerial crisis might be occasoned when
the news Of the entry of the Russians into the principal
ties reached the Porte. This has not however, been the
case The Turkish Ministry is firm and united and the
Suans protest against the proceedings of Russia is
the Of publication. Military preparations continue
the largest scale 1t is great advantage for the Porte
that the season is one of the most fruitful known
and every thing continues remarkably cheap Prussan
artillery officer is assisting OMER PAcHA in reconnoiter
ing the line of the Danube and erecting defensive works
thereon 1t expected that the Turkish troops would
enter Walachia, when line of demarcation would be
drawn, and peaceful arrangement awaited. REsCHID
PAcnA has replied to Count NEssELRopE the part of
formally and decidedly declines all the demands put for
ward by Russia. Upon reviewing all the from the
different Powers who have interested themselves in this
affair." we think the general tendency is encourage
hope that peace, honorable and suspicious will yet be
SECURED.
The second edition of yesterdays papers announce,
upon the credit of the Vienna Lloyd of the l6tb that ad
vices have been received from ST. Peersburgh Of very
satisfactory nature The joint propositions of the Cab-
of London and Paris had arrived and had been
muncated to the Emperor NICHOLAS. They made ia
vorable impression upon the Russian Cabinet, and
their BASH the proered mediation of Austria had been
accepted 1t is further sad if this fact is not imme
diately made officially known to the public, it arises
from courtesy to the Austrian nternunco CONSTANT
pope who has already commenced the work of peace
there" This is the first promise Of peaceful and hon
orabe termination of the present crisis which has been
founded direct intelligence from the Russian capital
and be hoped that the Lloyd has good grounds for
its statement
The Times Of to-day has the following very satisfactory
paragraph upon the Eastern question;
There is no doubt that the reception given by the
Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to the very first propositions
that arrived there for the Of the present state
of affairs in the East favorable to warrant
strong hope if not confident expectation, that the ques
ton III dispute would be settled without further delay
The Russian Chancellor is said to have declared to the
French Ambassador that the Emperor Nicholas welcomed
the arrangement held for his acceptance not only
with satisfaction, but with gratitude and the ony
tive supposed to cause any further delay the neces
sty of obtaining the of the Court of Vienna which,
however had already been dispatched by courier then
the road to ST. Peersburgh IL the French proposal
is the ultimately adopted it would that it
sists in note framed by the French Government a
tru qud between the note demanded by Prince Menchi
kof and the note offered by Rcschid Pacha Such de-
caraon would Of course include Of the Objectionable
portions of the Russian demand and the acceptance of
altered note by that Power which demanded month
ago that Turkey should submit to its preensons
riant is considerable victory The Porte the other
hand has scruped to recognise the full force and
authority of her existing treaties with Russia and she
perfectly ready to repeat in any form the provisions with
reference to the Holy Places which have been already
tablished by the last frmans Should the matter end
thus the chief wonder will be that such perils should
have been incurred such armies and fleets put in notion
such anxiety caused such losses sustained and such
effect produced the whole political relations Of Europe,
for the variation Of few lines in protocol But in the
conduct of affairs Of this nature the chief credit is due to
those statesmen who succeed by temper orbearance and
good judgment in reducing very formidable aerca-
ton to very small issue and it, hope, their
tons prove successful in the present instance know
Of example in which diplomacy has rendered greater
services to the maintenance Of peace and the welfare
Of the world"
The Russian troops have occupied all the fortified
places the Wallachan side Of the Danube Great
bers of Austrian troops have arrived Pesth their way
down the Danube the object unknown butsupposed to be
the Austrian garrsons the frontiers of Croatia Bosnia
and Servia.
