After his complete failure" at Vienna, Count Or

"sursnce of the Austrian and Prussian neutrality,
under all circumstances. On the other hand the
telegraph reports from Vienna that change has taken
place 10 the Turkish Ministry, the Seraskier and
KsDudsn Pasha having resigned. The Times can
not understand how the party could have been de-
eated at thevery time that France and England were
going 10 war. For my part, If the news be true,
can very well understand the "gOd-sent' occur

sentative at Cohstantinople, whom we find so re-
peatedly regreng, in his bluebook dispatches, that
abe could hardly yet 90 so far in his pressure on
:" the Turkish Cabinet as it might be dedesirable'
The blue books begin with dispatches relating to the
demands put forward on the part of France with re
spect to the Holy ShrDes--demands not wholly borne
out by the ancient captuatons, and Ostensbly made
with the view to enforce the supremacy of the Latin
over the Greek Church. / am far from participating
10 the opinion of Mr.. Urquhart, according to which
the Gar had by secret influences at Paris, seduced
Bonaparte to rush into this quarrel in order 10 afford
Russia petext for interfering herself in behalf OF the
privileges Of the Greek Catholics. 1t is we'll known
that Bonaparc wanted to buy cOue gi coue the sup
port OF tile Catholic party, which be regarded from
the very first the main condition for the success oi
his usurpatiOD. BOnaparte was fully aware OF the
ascendancy of the Catholic Church the peasant
population of France, and the peasanry were to make
him Emperor in spite of the bourgeOisie and in spite of
the pToletariat. NJ de FallOux, the Jesuit was the
most influential member Of the first ministry he formed,
and of which OdilOn Barrot the SOidisaM Noltarlan,
was the nominal head The first resolution adopted
by this ministry on the very day after the Inaugural
ton of Bonaparte President the famous expe-
diton against the Roman Republic. nj. de MOntalem-
bert the chief OF the jesuit party was MS most hctc
tool in preparing the overthrow of the parliamentary
YfPime and the coup d6tat of the I'd December. In
1850 the Unrors the official organ of the Jesuit party,
called day after day the French Government to take
actyesteps for the protection OF the interests OF the
Latin Church in the East. Anxious to caOle and win
over the Pope, and to be crowned by him. Bonaparte
had reasons to accept the challenge aud make himself
appear the "most Catholic" Emperor of France.
Tie BonapdTfist usUryaOR therefore, IS The true orr
gin Of the present Eastern complication III u true
that Bonaparte wisely withdrew his pretensOns as
soon as be perceived the Emperor Nicholas ready to
make them the pretext for excluding him from the
soncarc of Europe, and Russia was as usual eager TO
utilise the events which she had not the power to ere
ate, as Mr.. Urquhsrt imagines But it remains most
curious phenomenon in history, that the present crisis
Of the Ottoman Empire has been produced by the same
conflict between the Latin and Greek Churches which
once gave rise TO the foundation OF that Empire In Eu
rope.
Il is not nv intention to investigate the whole con-
tents of the Rights and Privileges of the Latin and
"Greek Churches" before having considered most i'm
portant incident entirely suppressed IN these blue
books, viz: The Austro Turkish quarrel about Mon
tenegro The necessity to previously treat this affair
the more urgent as il will establish the existence of
concerted plan between Russia and Austria for the
subyerson and division of the Turkish Empire and as
the very fact Of putting the subsequent nego
tiaons between the Court of ST. Petersburg and the
Porte into the hands of Austria cannot fail to throw
most curious light on the conduct of the English Cab
met throughout this Eastern question In the absence
of any official documents ON the Montenegro affair,

this subject and is entitled the Handbook of the
Eastern Question" by L. F. Simpson.
