The very Russian speech Of Lord Aberdeen in the
House Of Lords on the 10TH when Lord Lyndhurst
originated a debate the Eastern question, and in
which the Prime Minister styled the war against
Russia a defensive var" has created the greatest
eensation not only throughout England but all over
The Continent. IT even thought that Lord Aber-
deem would have to resign. In the House Of Com
mons on Friday last, Mr. Layard, who makes it his
duty to lead every attack against the Aberdeen Cab
net, gave notice that on Thursday next (the Goth

language held by the first minister of the Crown is
calculated to raise grave doubts as to the objects

In consequence Of that announcement the House

that the Russians will retire beyond the Pruth. and
Bhe will manage to advance slowly, that no con-
Act will arise. In fact Russia has been 30 severely

you in my last. The Austrian note sent to st. Pc
tersbusg was couched in very moderate terms; in
fact. II was friendly advice to Nicholas to retire.
However reluctant to act against Russia Austria is
compelled, to certain extent, to do So on the prin.
Ciplo Of selfpreservaton. There are various ru-
mors that Russia has declined to follow the advice
Of Austria, and is concentrating troops on the Aus
fEian frontier. My firm conviction is, that Austria
and Russia are on the most friendly terms and the
various steps taken by either power concerted ami
cably between them. Russia is too hard pushed to
risk quarrel with the German powers, and must
consequently make such concessions as they may
deem necessary. under the circumstances.
The King of Prussia l as gone to Stettin and Ko-
nigsburg. The official Berlin journals deny that he
has gone there to have interview with the Gear,

Although the reply Of the Car to the proposition
Of Austria and Prussia has not yet been received
there can be no doubt that the Russians will leave the
Turkish territory, and in quick time too-but not
nut OF esteem TO Austria, but to save their skins.
Single handed the Turks have beaten the Russian
aggressor, and $4,000 English and French bayonets
nrc now with them to consolidate their victory with
out sharing in the glory already achieved.
No further operations have taken place in the
Baltic. We learn that the combined squadron had
been signalled in sight of Cronstadt, whether to
lombard that Russian stronghold or simply to re-
connoitre, Is not known.
The line Of defence of the Russians is the Gulf OF
Finland, Cano or Sweaborg in the north, Reve in
the south. and Cronstadt in the centre, forming
half crescent. At the Sweab0rg extremity of the
line there Ia strong detachme Of the Russian
