The Turkish Question. THE LATEST REPORT FROM THE BAST. ‘The fact which we we.. enabled to state yesterday, in 9 third edition, that a courier had been despatched from St. Petersburg to Constantinople with a demand that Prinee Menschikoff’s last progoral should be accepted within eight days, is, on several accounts, of great im- portance, and it is, we think, less unfavorsble to a pacific solution of this dir pute than it might at first sight appear to be. In the first place, it proves that the Russian gov- ernment bas not proceeded on the first intelligence of Prince Menschikoff’s failure to adopt belligerent mea- sures, either by sending the fleet from Sebastopol to the Bosphorus, as Yer. Disraeli and Lord Hardwicke had an- tieivaiad, ‘or by directing the army of Bessarabia to eross the Pruth. On the contrary, the despatch of an- ether courier is a fresh proof tbat the system of tempori- gation and hesitation which Prince Menschikeff had Degun is still pursued by the Emperor Nicholas him- . If his chief object had been to pick a quarrel there would be no peed to prolong these prelimina- ries, and the court of St, Petersborgh cannot be ignorant that every week and every day that passes is ac immense Jons of its own opportunities and influence, while it in- ‘erences the confidence of Turk«y in the combined support of the rest of Enrope. But it appears, further, that this eourier is to insist on the acceptance of Prince Menschi- koff’s last proposal. That proposal, we believe, is not identical with the convention so baughtily demanded on the 5th of May: on the contrary. subsequently to that date, an4 just before leaving Constantinople, the Russian Envoy addressed « last communication to Red+chid Pasha consserabiy less objectiovable in form, though still not seceptable to the Turkish government in substance. If, after all, the demsnd made upon she Pocte can be satis- fied by.a declaration of goodwill towards ali its Chris- ian subjects, and if this declaration be addressed, not to Rosia alone, but to all the great powers which are interested in the welfare of the East, there > reason that such @ declaration should not be p og for », Fould further establi-h that policy which the Turkish gordiftme..* Ha4 already resolved to pursue, i car: # ~t@ Tost Russia has no peculiar and it would demcnstrat@ ° eh hes - Glaiin whatever to be considerta {80 guarantee oF securi- ty of the immunitics of tine Christin population. | As tt question has no again assumed the forts Of diplomatic negotiation, we think it by no means icaprobable that some such mode may be foand to enable the Eussi¢u g2- yerament to escape from the consequences of its sree gant pretensions and its recent defoat, We # further corroborated in this opinion by thé cir¢umsianze that Count Nesselrode (the seme, we presume, who accom. ‘ied Prince Mensch koff to Coustantinople) bas arrived Bi London, and we take this ovcurreace to be a strong additional proof that the Emperor Niebolas is, on all ac counts, much more disposed to have recourse to negotia- tion than to arms. Meanwhile, the langnage held by all the other govern- ments of Europe is firm, united, and energetic; that of Austria more so than we had ventured to anticipate, though not more so than her peculiar position requires; that of France, temperate, ani consistent with the interests and decision of Europe. Upon the whole, therefore, we are confirmed in the hope that this crisis will simply recoil upon its authors, and, unless some fresh couse of dissension should arise, it seems not improtable that the Russian government will, under the show of insisting on its claims, accept such terms as Turkey may offer in conjunction with the other powers of Europe. They, on their side, are interested in not adding to the difficulties of the question; end it is due to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe to express our conviction ‘that, while be bas supported Tarkey against an attempt ‘to bully her. he has been not leas anxious to find some expedient whieh may restore peace without too deep a humiliation to the benor of either party.

While wis! to be forgetful of the past, and though not demanding by way of reparation anythin but the dis- missal of a deceitful minister and the patent execution of solemn promises, the Em, r found himself obliged to xequire solid guarantees for the fu’are.

The Ambarsador is charged with obtaining on these points a formal assurance and notification, 3 Asened, or convention, for the tea of ths strict statu quo of the privileges of the Catholic Greco- Russian worebip, of the Church of the East, and of tue sanctuaries which are found in possession of thal worship exclusively, or in participstion with other rites at Jeru- salem. ‘The Ambassador must repeat, in this place, to the Mi- nisier of Foreign Affairs, thut which he bas already had occasion to expres to him many times—that Russia does not demand from the Porte polities! coveessions; her de- sire is to tranquilize the consciences of the devout by the certainty of the maintenance ef that which is, and of that which bas slweys been practiced up to our ti 1 then in pursuance of the hostile teadeucies which are manifested for some years past to all which touches | Fussia that she requires, in the interest of the religious communities of the orthodox worship. an explicative aud ive act of the guarantees—an act which would not ip avy degree eituer the other religions, or the rela- with ovher powers.

The :eply of the Minister of Foreign Affairs will indi- cate to the Ambaseador the ulterior duties which he will bave to fulfil and which will not be otherwise than coa- forwable to the maintenance of the dignity of the govern ment which be represents, andof the religion which he professes. The second isa note addressed by the Ambassador of Russia to the Minister of Forvign Affairs of the Subline Porte :— “Pra, May 5, The undersigned, Ambassador of Russia, had ‘he houor to address to his Exceliency, the Minister of For iairs of Lhe Sublime Porte, @ confidential commu! of the draught of an instrument, calculated to oiler to goverpment of His Majesty the Emperor, solid and invio- lable guarantees for tbe future, in the interest of the Eastern Orthodox Chareb. ‘The Ambassador thougat that he might expect to meet. on the part of the goverament of the Sublime Porte, an anxious desire to revew, on that basis, relations of geod sod cordial smity with Russia. He aust confess, with deep regret. that he was shaken in that conviction, with which be hed been inspired from the beginuing, by the gracious reception of his Majesty the Sultan, Animated, nevertheless, h that spirit of conciliation and kinduess whieh distinguishes the policy of his august master, the Ambsosador did not reject the previous obser- vations made to him by Rifaat Pasha, bota as respects the form of the sbove-mentioned act, aud the tenor of some of the articles which were to be introduced into it, With vegord to the form, the Ambassador maintains the declaration, that a long and painful experience of the past requires, in order to prevent hereafter ail coolness and distrust between the two gavernmeats, a solemn en- gagement having the force of a treaty. ‘As to the “on ‘ents sud wording of the articles of that act. he insisted on a previous understanding; end, seeing with prefound pain the procrastination of the Ottoman cabinet, and its evident desire to elude the discussion. he considered hime elf obliged by bis verbal note of the 7—19th April, to recapitulate bis d@mands, and to embody them in ube most pressing manner. It is only today thet the note of His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, accompanying the copies of the two sovereign orders, relative to the sanctuaries of Jerovalem and the cupola of the Holy Sepulehre, has reached the Ambaseador. He considers that comauni- cation to imply a coatinnation of negotiation aa to the two first demends contained in his note of the 7—19th of April and will regard it as a duty to place those docu- meots under the eyes of his government. But, not having hitherto obtained any reply tothe third and most important point, which ‘claims guaran- tees for the future. and having bees recently instructed to insist with greater force. in order to arrive at an im- mediate solution of the question, which constitutes the principal object of the solicitude of His Mejesty the Em péror, the Ambaseador is obliged to address himself to- Gay to his Exceileecy the Mivister of Foreign Affairs, coa- fining thi me his reclamwations within toe Last limits prescribed by suverior directions- The bases of the arrangement he is charged to obtain Temeip materially the same. The Eastern orthodox worship, its clergy and its pos- sessions shall evjoy in future, withoat any molestation, under ihe mgis of bis sajesty the Sultan, the privileges and immunities insured to them ad antiquo, and, in vir- tue of a principle of high equity, they saall parttcipate ia the advantages granted % ocher Christian worships. At Jerusalem, the Russian monks aud pilgcins «hull be assimilated. as respects prerogatives, to those of other foreign vations. ‘Those poiate, herein summarily indicated, shall form the object of a Sened which will attest the sutual confi- dence of ihe two governmenta. Inihis act, the objections and difficulties repeatedly expressed by his Excellency Rifsat Pasha, and some of his colleagues, have been taken into consideration, as his Excellency will perceive by the deaught of a Sened which Ambessador has the honor to aanex to the present note, The Ambassador flatters himself with the hope that hereafter the just expectation of his angust master will not be deceived; and that, laying aside all hesitation and all distrust, from which its dignity and its generovs sea- timents would have to suffer, the Sublime Porte will love no time in sree 4 to Imperial Ambassador the sovereign decisions of his Majesty the Sultan, in reply to the present notification. It is with that hone the Ambassador requests his Excellercy Rifaat Pasha to have the kindness to forward to him that reply, on or before the 28th April (10th May). He must consider a longer delay only as a want of cour- tesy towards bis government. which would impose upon bim the most painful obligations. The Ambassador of Russia-offers to his Excellency the reiterated and sincere assurance of hia high considera- tion. (Signed. MEN-CAIKOFF.

In connection with the Eastern question an article of the very greatest importance appeared in the Paris Pays, of we 4th inst. The correspondent of the Times stated that he had reason to kaow this article Was meal to convey the Emperor Louis Napoleon’s ideas, and the line of policy which the French government proposes to follow. ‘The article, after criticising with some severity the conduct of M. Thiers in 1840, proceeds thus:— Our national pride is much flattered, no doult, at hearing il constantly said that the Mediterranean is a French \ake.

Thiers threw himvelf rasbly into the qaestion of the East in 1840. He conld only end in un impossibility, He completely disregarded the iutere ts of France in that question. The Restoration did not commit such a fault; and its flag floated at Navariro side by side with that of Russia and of England. The independence of Greece was won and settled by Europe. It wasalso the whole of Europe which intervened tosettle the interests at stake between Egypt and Turkey. The dsy that the Eastern question loses European character the peace of the worid would be dis- turbed for a long time; let this be bel’eved; and it is not France that would have to suller from that attack on the equilibrium of Europe, for she is perhaps the most disin- terested of all in the question of the Fast.

Great preparations had also been taece, during some days at Leviva, for passing the Pruth. Vice-Admiral Kornileff, who returned to dessa from Constantinople not long ago, auddenly ap- peared at Reni, (confluence of the Pruth and Danube.) and had a long conference with the Galatz consul, M.

These are evi- dently for the construction of a kind of bridge across the Danube.

Business and monetary affairs had in consequence r.uch improyed in London. The Eng- lish grain market is rising. Cotton at Liverpool very firm. Commodore Vanderbilt's steamship yacht, the North Star, was exciting great attention at South- ampton. She had been thrown open to public view, admittance being obtained by tickets issued at the American consulate. Crowds of people availed themselves of the facility, and appeared greatly gra- tified by the sight of this magniticent specimen of naval American architecture. The Daily News states that “the Mayor of Southampton had brought before the municipality of that town, the propriety of some public manifestution towards Mr. Vanderoilt, } on account of his having honored Southampton by ey it as the rendezvous of his gigantic steam acht.’ % the Duke of Genoa had paid an official visit to Woolwich arsenal, and other public establishments and was being extensively feted in England.

Keogh, Sadlier, and Mousell, three Irish members of the Aberdeen admiuistrations, had with- drawn their resignations, tendered a few days previ- cone in consequence of Lord Jobn Russell's speech in the House of Commons on the Irish Church. Nothing of great interest had transpired in the British Parliament. The discussion on the new scheme for governing India was resamed in the Commons on the 6th inst. The plan proposed by Sir Charles Wood, the President of the rd of Control, appears to have pleased no one and dis- appoiuted everybody desirous of improving the ad- ministration of the British Empire in Asia. In the House of Commons, on the same day, Mr. French gave notice of his intention to call the atten- tion of the government to the habitual imprisonment of shipwrecked sailors and others (British subjects) by the authorities of South Carolina. The Income Tax bill was read e. third time by a majority of 189 to 55.

MOVEMENT IN LIVERPOOL. Loudon Times, June §. The agitation for increased remuneration for la- still continues in Liverpool. On Monday the cot porters, who had made an unsuccessful ap- plication for an advance of 6d. a day, struck work, | and have expressed their determination to remain out until their demand jis conceded, and farther, until the masters sign an agreement to pay them 4s, a-day, instead of the old price, 3s.6d. They have also come to the resolution not to work for any one who employs men who are not members of the Cot- ton Porters Association, a society which numbers upwards of 3,500 members. The movement meets with the co-operation of the dock laborers, upwards have ofthe Mersey, unless ni e Ys a com| -ef- . The em $l oem to resist the dict sot the men; and, although the majorit, be willing to it the increased remuneration, they are resolved to break down a combination which would prevent them from employing men who are not members of a cer- tain association. Yesterday only one ship inthe port was at work, and at a monster meeting, held by the men at the west side of George’s Dock, it was intimated that measures would be adopted to put a stop to the few laborers and porters who were ree atit. The letter-carriers of Li have petitioned the Post- master General for an advance of wages, on the ground that twenty shilling a week is inadequate to their requirements, owing to the increased price of rovisions,&c. They cannot see, they urge, “why eir brethren in London should receive a salary of from five to ten shillings 2 week more than them- selves, while it is notorious that the duties of the car- riers in Liverpool are, as a whole, more arduous, and, consequently, of equal responsibility to those of Lon- | don.” The application has met with a decided ne- gative from Viscount Canning, who, in conclusion, observes, ‘that, having heard that it is the intention of some of the letter carriers to resign in a body, in the event of their memorial not receiving the an- swer they desire, though such a step may cause the public to suffer inconvenience, and compel him, for a time, to provide for.the service at en increased cost, he thinks it well to warn those who may be so ill-ad- | vised as to adopt such a course, that, under no cir- cumstances, will they individually receive benefit from any new arrangements.” France. RETAIL AND EXPORT TRADE—AGRICULTURE AND LIVB STOCK—CONTINUED BAD WEATHER, ETC., ETO. ‘The retail and export trade of France was gene- rally in a good condition. ‘The sudden fall in the price of zinc and copper had been checked by an increased demand for these arti- cles which had taken place both in Paris and in the provinces. The price of sheep and oxen continued to advance. Although the vines are not yet sufliciently advanced in vegetation to be much injured it the disease which bad appeared in some districts, the return of wet weather had caused uneasiness. Panis, June 7—6 P. M. The Leonidas, which arrrived yesterday at Mar- seilles, left Constantinople on the 25th ult.

Berlin advices of June 3, state that among the earliest subjects which will engage the attention of the Zollverein conterences will be the reduction of the dnty on iron, (which the South German States, particularly Wurtemburg, are preparing to (prose energetically,) and even more agen than this, the facilitation of the internal traffic in grain, so as, if possible, to obtain an internal free trade in corn. The excessive emigration that is now taking place from the south of Germany (we may with pro- Leon call ita Teutonic Exodus) is mainly attri- utable to the dearness of prov'sions, though there are of course other troubles, of a political and social nature, which contribute to fill up their cup of bit- terness to overflowing. From Bohemia and Mora- via we hear of hundreds of families constrained to subsist on grass and roots. In the Palatinate and Rheinhessen, formerly remarkable for cheap living, the complaints of dear provisions have become gengral. Potatoes cost six times, hay five times as tuch as they did thirty years ago. The price of corn (rye) has risen in some parts to 60 thalers (£9) the Ny (twenty-four bushels.) Represen- tations were lately made to the President of the Ministry and the Minister of Finance, stating that in Berlin, with the population over 400,000, there are at present only about 1,200 wispel of rye on hand, of which 200 are already sol@, and that prices have been rising steadily for many years past and the supply not increasing. In order to give a helping hand to the cotton print- ing interest, the Minister of Commerce, in the mid- dle of last month, informed the Chambers of Com- merce in Llberfeld and Barmen that in future un- printed muslins (Nessel) may be imported for the Barposee of printing and re-exporting duty free. The government is about to appoint paid Consuls to Elsinore, to Chili, and to the La Plata States. Herr von Minutoli, Consul-General for Spain and Portugal, has succeeded in shen up a market for Prussian goods in the above-named countries, more particularly for iron aud bronze articles, which are said to be produced in Westphalia equal to the Eng- lish goods. Holland, The weekly reviews from Amsterdam and Rotter- dam produce-markets state that business was rather limited, and that no essential change had occurred in prices. The demand for coffee was principally confined to home consumption, and rates were fairly supported. Sugar, raw and refined, was, on the average, steady, although in some few cases lower prices had been accepted. In rice the transactions ad not been active, but the late advance had been well maintained. Indigo was firm at previous quo- tations, and no important alteration had occurred in tea. The letters from Rouen mention that the market for manufactures was heavy, and that sales could not be effected except at a decline. Switzerland.

Sporting Intelligence, THE ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB—GOOD EFFECTS OF THE AMERICA’S VICTORY. [From the London Morning Chronicle, June 2. Yesterday was fixed upon for the second match of this distinguished club, since the commencement of the pre- sent season, avd the result was one of the finest aud clo- sest contests ever witnessed. This match had excited un- usual interest amongat aquatic circles, and it may be considered as the first trial which bas taken place be- tween vessels of a large clos, since the success of the America in 1851 created auch a turor amongst yachtsmen, and gaye a pew turn io the skill and science of our navai architects, who had been previously laboring wader the lensing delusion *hat their yachts were pervection, and bat it was absurd to suppose that those of any other country could successfully compete with them, How- ever that might be, a long courre of success had been at~ tended with its usual results, 29 that a few defeats were calculated to produce # most calvtary effect. True it is, however, that many are still to bs found who affect to depreciate ‘mere sailiog machines” like the America, where comfort and accommodetion are ruthlessly sacri~ ficed to speed. If xe may judge from the result of yes- terday’s race, a most happy combination of the two ha been successfully realised iu the Rosalind, a new vessel, built by Inman, of Lymington, for Lord Alfred Paget whose capabilities, it’ will be seen, more than reali: the expectations which had been entertained of them. ‘The Meteor steam verse! wes chartered for the accommo- dation of the members of the club ond thetr visiters, and atan early hour it left Lovdon bridge ¥ ith a numerous as= semblage on board, including a far greater number of adies than usual.
