ways Of opinion that this question with Rus
STA could be solved in no way but bv war,
and lie hoped the ministers would not be de-
luded by my circumstance into relaxing
their preparations for that contingency. lie
considered that Britain was al The commence
ment of one of the most formidable wars
in which she had ever engaged. He acquit
ted the country Of the guilt Of that war but
he could not acquil ministers if thy failed
to prepare for a great and arduous struggle.
In particular, were they prepared to present
flee. Of sufficient force in the Baluc imme
diately, or On the breaking up Of the ice?
Ia reply to Lord CIanricarde's second in
quiry, Lord Clarendon replied that on Satur-
day evening, the 9Th, Baron Brunow, Rus
sian Minister al London, called at the For
egn Office, and made known that the an
swers given to the inquiries of his Govern
meni did not permit him to continue his Of
fetal functions, and consequently diplomat
ic relations between Russia and Britain are
broken off. 10 course Of The week. the pa
pers on which Baron Brunow's withdrawal
was founded would be submitted to the
| House.
| The Marquis of Clanricarde agreed with
Lord Elenborough in believing that the war
would be a momentous one, but he could
not quite say that Ministers were wholly
sponsible for this coming war. Al
though they had acted with ability, he be-
! lieved that frequently they had not said the
/ RICH. thing al ,he right time, and as it was
evident, both that the discussion of the mat
ter must have retrospective character, and
! that the present position Of affairs could
not continue long. he would renew his mo-
ton that day week.
/ Earl FitzwilIiam entirely agreed that the
present state Of affairs could not continue
! long. lie thought it had already continued
altogether too long. Whether the country
was fully aware of the tremendous charac
ter Of The conflict in which i, is about to
engage, he would not stop to discuss, but
! he would say ,ba, there never was war in
which the people would more heartily sup
port the Government.
/ Lord Beaumont complained that the in
formation gwen by Lord Clarendon was
meagre. He would, therefore. ask whether
instructions have been sent for the with
drswal of the British Ambassador from St.
Petersburg, and for stopping further negoli-
atoms there ?
| The Earl of Clarendon replied that he
was sorry Lord Beaumont thought his in
formation meagre, or that he had held cut
hopes and expectations that fresh negola-
| lions may be entered into, and that peace
may be preserved. He (CIarendon) held
ont no such hopes. lie had always said
! that negotiations have been brought TO a
close a, Vienna; that Russa's new propo-
sails being unacceptable, could not be trans
mited TO Constaninope-and So there was
an end of them; and he had no reason to
believe that fresh negotiations on the sub
iect would be renewed.
lie was unable to state why Count Crloff
prolonged his stay in Vienna, after having
executed his mission relating TO The treaties
between Austria and Russia. With respec,
to the question, whether the British Minister
is withdraw from ST. Petersburg. he would
say that since Baron Brunow's retirement,
there had not been time TO do more than COM
municate with the French Government but
Tomorrow (7th) Instructions would be sen,
by France and Eng gland to Gen. Castlebajac,
and Sir George Seymour, their ministers al
St. Petersburg, which will place them on
exactly the same footing, as the Russian
Ministers at Pors and London have adopt
ed and diplomatic intercourse between the
Two countries and Russian will be suspend
ed.
This statement by the Government Great
ed much excitement in the House.
FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.-We learn
that Omar Pasha had crossed the Danube
a. the head of 10000 men, end has cut
off all communication between the Russian
armies. TbiS is must important move
meni and p le9ends much bisodshed.
The answer from the Russian Cabinet to
the last proposal for peace was considered
bv the Four Powers as entirely unSalsac-
tory, and was no. deemed worthy Of trans
mission to Constantinople.
THREE Days LITER.
The Europe, arrived a, New Y DIRK. brings
Liverpool dates Of the Lib, three days la
ter than previous advices. The news is not
decisive, and leaves the question of war or
peace yet unsolved problem. The most
important item of information is that more
changes have taken place in the Turkish
Cabinet, and rumor asserts that this change
has brought into power party favorable 10
| compromise with Russia. The truth OF
this, however, is questioned. The war pre-
ta.a,ions are continued both in England and
France.
Close CALCULATIoN.-Such delicacy has
been attained by Wheastone's invention OF
,anidllv rotating mirror, That the French
physicians, Frzeau and FoncauI' have mea-
sured the amount Of time occupied by the
