SOME ADDITIONAL DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENTS has
been published in England, which reveals a few points OF
interest. By these it appears officially, as communicate by
Austria 10 England, that The mission of Count Orion, The
last Russian Envoy 10 the Courts OF Prussia and Austria,
was 10 persuade Them TO enter into an engagement with
Russia to the following effect:
1.-THE Emperor Of Russia proposes the s'rictest neutrality
"a The altitude 10 be assumed by The two principal Ger
man Powers and their confeteratcs, and an armed defence OF
This neutrality against any who might threaten 10 infringe
H. Russia would engage TO assist them, for this purpose,
with all her forces, TO an extent which should hereafter be
determined a Joint arrangement 10 be concluded by military
commissioners. She would further undertake, in case the
events Of The war should lead 10 q modification of the state
OF things existing in Turkey, not TO ndopt any resolution on
this subject without a previous undersls nding with The
Courts III Vienna and Berlin"
Tn. King OF Prussia at first declined this proposition
The Emperor of Austria declined making the engagement
unless the Emperor Of Russia would bind hinself 10 limit
Inc field Of his action, not 10 extend further his military
ouers,ions in European Turkey, rot TO seek territorial az
praudizcrent, or any fi!l!tO OF interference in the internal af-
f,i,s Of Turkey. or any new rights not resulting from an
cicnt treaties. The Emperor of Russia refused 10 make any
such agreement. The Emperor of Austria ia surprised al
lnis, as The Emperor Of Russia had previously declared his
intenlion of msintuininga defensive position on the north
aide of the Danube. ThEEmperor of Austria, therefore, de-.
cliped the Russian proposition, il being plainly sta ted in the
documents that The Russian Envoy was not able 10 give
satisfactory guarantees that the interests OF Austria will not
be compromised by a dissolution of European Turkey

MIR. Buchnnan.

The recent slight, or what some may consi1e,
Insult, applied by the British Court to Mir. Bu
chanan, refusing him admission to the opening
of Parliament because he claimed what was
awarded to every other envoy in London, the
right to wear on that occasion the costume he
wears when appearing officially before the head
of his own government. again opens the
"clothes question for public consideration
We believe Mr. Buchanan S course was one die
tated alike by selt-respect and patriotism, and
that the mass of the American people will cor
daily sustain him.
The statements of the British press touchins
the event briefly given below. The Lon
don Times who saw what did not occur, says
"Only one exception to official un form was
observable, aud the gentleman in question, who
appeared in evening dress, and seemed uApleas
antly conscious of his singularity was at once
set down as the American Minister
This was sheer invention, aud was exposed
by the London Globe follows:
Neither the Minister nor any member of the
legation was present; information having been
seut by the master OF the ceremonies that men,
hers OF the diplomatic corps must appear in
court dress, which cannot be worn without dis
regarding Instructions"
The London Daily Nesgs says on the subject.
There can be very little doubt that delib-
crate insult has been offered to the great nation
with which, of all others, it becomes us TO en-.
tertain the best relations. We will leave out of
consideration the magnitude of our trade with
America, the community of language, the com.
mon stock; will only point to the possible
position in which England may be placed in
the course of the war into which it seems we
are entering. We hope, however, that a cause
of ill-feeling will not arise between the two
great Anglo Saxon nations, on a subject which
is fitted to be debated only between a couple
Of chamberlains OF defanct principalities of the
ancient Germanic Confederation
On the details of the matter the Advertiser is
particular and explicit, as follows:
Mr. Buchanan, understand, wrote two
letters for cards of admission for his suite and
others. No answer vouchsafed to these
save printed form, stating that court dress
could not be dispensed with, and printed tick
ets, one for lady who does not even exist. In
this manner Governor Seymour, United States
Ambassador to the Court of Russia, who is now
ON his way to ST. Petersburgh, was prevented
from being present, although he applied to his
Minister to get him a ticket of admission. He
will probably be very differently entertained bv
the Emperor OF the French and the Gar III
Russia, both OF whom will condescepd To dis
pense with Court livery. General Webb also
was disappointed in the same manner. This
gentleman is ex-minister from the United States
10 Austria and was, we understand head of the.
engineering department IN the American army
The Ambassy is said to feel the afront deeply"
1t will be seen that Mr. Buchanan showed
the temper of man that occasion, and not
of footman. He simply declined to attend,
and let the raree-show go off without him.
