WARLIKE POSITION OF AFFAIRS—NOTICE TO THE SULTAN DIAT HE MUST ACCEPT MENSCHIKOFE'S ULTIMATUM OR TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES. Prinoe Gortschadkaff has been appointed Commander- in-Chief of the Russian army in Besarabia. Up to the 4th inst. the Russians had not moved to the Pruth.

A voluntary subscription was making towards the expenses of arming. The latest accounts were less favorable for the main“ tenance of peace. ‘The messenger sent from St. Petersburg is said to have no discretionary power. He merely carries a demand from the Czar that the Porte shall, within eight days, accede to Menschikof’s ultimatum, or take the conse- oes. Sount Neaselrode, Jr., is not charged with any authori- tative mission te the Western courts that can alter the position of affairs. Meantime the Porte prepares bravely for defence.

Massachusetts State Temperance Convention: Grand Rally of An -Liquor Men et Spring- field, FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER. SrRinGrieL, Mass., Wednesday, June 22, 1853. This city of sojouruers is even more than usually fall this morping, as the State Temperance Convention bas been called to meet here at eleven o'clock A. M. The place has bten well chosen, av a half a dozen railroads centre, and even during the night, sleep that “knits up the ravelled sleeve of care,” in too often broken by the steam whirtle, or the locomotive bell The prospect is that the convention will be a full one, and that the read- ers of the New York HERALD may fully understand its object, I bring out of its obscurity the “official” call, which has been nearly “ swampad” from tho public gaze by being placed in the stern sheets of the Life Boat (tem: perance organ.) Here it is :-— STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. ‘The Massachusetts State mmittco, at their meeting to day, resolv 1d to ‘emperanes Conven- tion at Springtield, on Wedni and Thursday, the 22d and RBdinat. The State Committee, therefore. hereby call ov the friends of Temperance and of the Massachusotts Anti Liquor Law, throughrut the Commox wealth, to assomble at s pring field, on Wednesday and Thursday,’ tho 23d and 23d inst, for the purpose of expressing their congratulations on thé maintenance of the law by the recent Lexislature, to take such measures a8 may be deemed expedient to secure the further eupp id more uniform and efficient enforcemont of the law, to procure the more gencral formation and or- ganization of Total abstinence Socicties on the plan pro. oavd by the lato Tomperance Convention in Boston, and for the appointment of a new State Committee. These, and other topics of great moment, which may bo called up at the time, demard united, judicious, and earnest counrel and co-opcration. All temperance friends and temperance organizations in the Commonwealth, by dolerates or sther- Wise, arc cordially invited to attend the Springfield Con. yention, and unite in its action. The Convention will com. menoe its session on the 22d inst., at Il o'clock, AM. All clergymen receiving this ciroular are respectfully requested to give the notice herein contained as extensively az possi: ble among their people, . SPATE TEMPERANCE comuirrer. Wn. B. Spooner, Dr. Charles Rev. Edward Otheman, James Revons et B. W. Williams, W. R. Sta Moses Mellen, Joba Tl B: ev. TW. Higcinson, Zones D. Rev. Edwin Thompson, Boston, Ju: These gentlemen of the State Commitieeare xearly allof them old soliters in the cold water army; and Mr. Othe- man, particularly, is a gentioman who would doa very great deal had he brains enough to carry out his ideas: B, W. Williams is the editor of the Life Boat, which has barely lived through several very heavy equals. To give an idea of brother Williams’ terso and vigorous style, I copy the following from his last leader relative to the convention :— We took occasion to state. Inst week, that a most. vigor- ouscampnign would bo opened by tho repeaters, for t purpose of clecting a repeal Logislature. Uther faots ba come to light which tend to corroborate this statement. Now, wo ask the friends of temperance whether they nro Willing to have the law repented? Nothing butthoir apathy Will doit. There is now through the State a feeling of s6- curity among the Maino law men, which will, unles isa general waking up, and that speedily, lose us tho law. ‘The enemy never tiumber nor sleep. They aro at work now: for the fallelection, ‘The State Convention is called for tho purpose of stirring up the temperance won, and making ar- Tangements for the fall election. Tho mevting must be a large one. The state of the cause demands it. There is a great work to be done during the summer, and that work must be well done. There wust be nothing left undone. It is already Iate to commonce. If we expect to lect Maine law mon for the Legisiaturo, there is not a moment to be wasted. If the people enn be made to sce the immense im- portance of this work, and that in season, it will he accom: Pil hed. ‘The repeniers are in a small mivority in the Stato, and, with union and effort among the Maine law men; they (the zepeniers) can be routed,‘ horse, foot and dra: oon.”” rs It will be seen by the above, that Brother Williams does not pay the sli htest regard to thore obnoxious and ponrevsical rules which are supposed to govern writers of the Frglish langusge. No! He proudly soars above all such petty restrictions. Moses Mellen 1s an ancient indivicual, who finds the greater part of the money with which to carzy onthe war. He attends to this depart- ment very well, am informed, The Rey. Mr. Higginson in w cher amie of Othewan’s, and a man of great yolu- bility, though not much learing or talent. Rev. Edwin Thompeon is a clergyman of the Universalist persuasion. He is a great ‘friend to the slave,” and an uncompro- rising ‘ide of rum and tobacco,’ He has an excellent flow of language, considerable humor. and is @ yery fuir atump speaker. 'He is the bost looking man among the reformers, having a rosy faco beaming with Lonhommie. Dr. Cherles Jowett has been so long before the public, tat Ineed not doscribe ‘him. He ts as comfortable ever. W. B. Spooner whose name appears first on the ‘list, is also very well known as one of the Old Guard. W. R. Stacy, a man of not much account im any position, appears to'be the only representative of the Young Guard, or Ws pee toeae party. Mr. Stacy once roe so high that he actual lly became a nocturnal Inspector of the Customs. All ‘ashingtonians do not agree in this political action; and they do not hesitate to say that it is the opening move of the “‘coalition’’ upon the chess- board of State polities, Some few things indicate aa much. Two leading coalitioniats are now in Springde watehing the course of events. One is J. M. Usher, of Medford, (democrat,) and the other is Wiliam A. White, Ksq., printer to the Constitutional Convention, and Secre- tary to the free soil State Committee, We shall soe. e Church ia well represented here by Dr. Lyman Beecher, and the Rev. Mr, Wolcott. of Providence, late of Belchertown. Mr. Wolcott is considered great orator, and he is to “astonish the natives” this evening. ‘The Convention promises to be a warm one, in more senses than one. I write this at the Massasoit House, with the thermometer at ninety-three degrees Fahrenheit, and the cnly cool thing Lean ree is the placid Connecti: cut, rippling beneath the numerous Be that span ite clear, fresh, limpid waters.

Chairman, pro tem., and Rev. Mr. Higgins, of Worcester, Secretary, pro tem” A committee of five, of which Francis Bates, of Springeld, was Chairmen, was appolated te se. port & list of permanent officers for the convention. During the absence of this committee, Mr Mansn, of New York, was called for, as he bad some glad tidings from the State of Connecticut. Mr. Marsh proceeded to relate the doings of the Legislature of thet State on Tues- day ted that the qnestion of the Maine law came up in the regular order. The majority of the committes reported sgainst the law, on the ground that there wae no need of any more legislation. The minority of the committee reported a Mine law. The majority moved that their report lie on the table, and the House proceed to the consideration cf the minority report. The Maine Jaw men were thus taken by surprire, but the question was ably debated by Mr. Liaes, of Now Haven, who supported the Mnine law, In the afternoon the question was taken on a motion to refer to tha next Legislature. This motion was lost—115 to 84. (Applause.) A motion to strikeout the sec’ion providing for the re ference of the law to the people was lost by o similar vote, (Renewed applause) The Maine question was faved off by a motion to adjourn, which was carried. The Speaker thought the law would pass both Houses —the Governor might put it in his pocket—he was used to that sort of thing. Mr, Marsh gave way to the report of the committee, avd the permanent government of the Convention was establixhed as follows :— ident —Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, of Amherst. Vice Presidents —Hon. J. M. Usher, of Medford ; Rev. Dr, Lyman Beecher, of Boston; Rev Dr. Ide, of Spring: field; Hon. Wm. Hyde of Ware; Daniel Frost, of Nort! Orange; Julius A. Palmer, of Boston: Rev Mr. Ripley, of Foxborough; Rev. Dr Ovgood, of Springfield; Rev, Mr. McCurdy, of Natick; Dr. Josiah Bartlett, of Consord ; Deacon James Ford of Abington. Hon. Samuel Avar, of Concord, was nominated for one of the Vice Presidents, but he was nonest. John Ross Dix, a well known litierateur. was sJao nominated as one of the Secreraries. but he declined the honor. Secrelaries — Williams, of Boston; Rev. Mr. Hig- gins, of Worcester; J. W. Wayer, of Northampton. Dr. Hitchcock made a very brief —— thauking the Convention for the honor conferred upon him, and the Throne of Grace was addressed by the Rev, Mr. Thayer, of Northampton. I should estimate the number of Cried present at about two hundred, including one The Preswpenr made a very dull ee. He hoped that the Convention would not forget. their gratulations over the fact, tbat the Maine law banver wus till untar- pished and untorn, and that they must devise some mesns for ita more thorough execution. He passed to a comparison of the state of the temperance cause now and twenty-five years ago, and proceeded to show how he had been first in college to write against the use of wine. On motion, the President appointed the following named gentlemen 2a a Committee on Business:—Rev. Mr, Oviatt, of Chicopee; Mr. Erastus Hayes, J. R. Hixon, Fawin Thompson, and Rev. Mr. Thayer.’ Also,a com: mitteeion resolutions, of which Rev. W. H. Brewster, of Lowell, wes chairman. A spirited debate now arose upon a motion thata committee be appointed to nominate a Stata Contral Com- mittee. It was moved, as an amendment, that the com- mitiee report some plan of orgavization. Mr. MzusEN said that there was a State organization, and @ good one. Mr. Trask did’nt know whether there was any orgeni- zation cr not. He was in favor of the amendment. Af: ter some sharp shooting on both sides the amendment was wi'bdrawn. Deixcate hoped that the gentleman would not with. draw his amendment. He wanted the committee to have full power. Perhaps they might report a different list altogether than that which had been prepared, or they might report some éifferent plan. ir. Joun C, CLUER wanted the Committee to be nomi- pated at large, not by the Chair. He wanted a people's gas He moved that the Committee be nommated at large. ‘The Cure put the question and did not declare the vote. It seemed thatthe amendment was adopted. ‘The Drtzcate who had spoken before said it had seemed asif the meeting had been concocted, and he did’nt think it proper. Mx. CiurR bad noticed that the names of the commit- tees were handed to the Chair, and it locked as if every thing bad been cocked up tefore hand. ‘The presen’ organization was defended by Williams, of Heston: and Usher, of Medford. ‘The que-tion was again taken on Cluer’s amendment, and it wes loot. The question was taben on the original motion to appoint a committee to nominate a State Central Con mittee, and it was carried ‘The Prerident then appcinted the committtee, the Rey. R. W. Clark, of Boston, being its chairman. [This gen- tleman, who reems to be a leader in the convention, is @ Puritan of the «trsirest eect. having lately distinguished himself by a course of lectures against ail the pomps and vanities, including dress, dancing, drinking. and play- poirg. His name forthe new theatre now being erected ip boston is ihe ‘golden gateway cf heil.””] Mr. Cluer, who hed been the leader of the rebels against the Wil- lems and Mellen party, was paeified by being placed upon the ecmmittee ‘The whole quarrel goes to show that there is something wrorg about the present organization of the Maire law party in this State. The very slim attendance showed that the peopie did not regurd the “official” cali; and great was the astonishment of Williams, Usher, &c., when they found grumbling in the camp. Wiliams evi- denily felt much hurt at the ingratitude of those mem hers of the convention who did not see the necessity of his cuttir g and drying everything beforehand. The convention has thus far been a failure. Though Dr. Hitchcock may be a learned savan, he is not fit to presice over a popular assemblage, He seems to know ho ove stung the delegates, and never announced any of the speakers, At one o'clock, the Convention adjourned till two. To the earnest inquiry of sm enthusiastic red-haired gentle wan, who de-ired to hnow where he could get dinner without patronizing “King Alcohol,” the President made ho answer. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention was called to order at half past two o'clock, The number of men was not increased, but the fenale force was increased to three. ‘The delegates ap- yeared in much better homor after dinner, though some of them pitched into fruit, ices, confectionery, ice cream, &o , in the mort reckless manuer.

The seventh, that all party considerations must bow to the great cause of temperance, and that all persons interest- ed in the Maine law should spare no pains to secure the election of such men to the Legislature as would work for the law. ‘They were very verbose and not worth publish- ing in extenso, On motion of Mr. Wr1ams, the report was accepted, and the rerolutions were laid on the table.

He bad met with» great deal of dit- ficulty from imperfect complaints, nara Mr. CurveLayp moved that s committee be appointed bac cag ‘the accounts of the Treasurer of the State Com- mittee. Mr, W1t114Ms anid the Treasurer was not accountable to the Convention ; be was only accountable to the cour mittee, apd they bad already appointed an auditing com- mittee op the subject of his accounts. Here arose @ very pretty quarrel about money, in which Messz#. Cleveland, Thompron, Cluer and others partieipa- ted. It was finally ordered that a committee be appoint- ed to audit the accounis of the committee, without ray- ing anything about the Trearurer. Rev Lyman Beesker. who occupied @ seat on the platform. got very foggy, aad the whole affair war explained two or threo times to him, after which he sat down, as he said, ‘as much in the mire an ever.’” After the appointment of this committee, and another on firance, the resolutions were taker up, and Dr Marsh, of New York, got the ficor. Hx devoted his fifteen min: utes toa discussion of the legal suasion idea. He said it Was 8 great question in New York whether a Maine law should be enacted now, or whether it was best to wait until the peop’e bad been educated up to the law. He was in favor of the action that had been had in Masa chuset's; he was in favor of applying the law at once. He had been afraid that the law would be repealed here: he was not afraid of it now. If Maxsachusetts had receded, the New York Senate never would have passed the bill by a vote of 17 to 13, nor the glorious scove in the Connecicnt legielature never would have taken place, The enomles of the Jaw were flying in all directions. The inajority in New York in favor of the law when it went to the People would be net less than 20,000. (Appiause.) Many of the opponents of the law had given up. The Doctor hoped that the city of New York would give a ma. jority for the law. The murders, felonies. &., which had taken place there were principally owing to rum. The Doctor closed by advertiring a report which he had pre- pared relative to the Maine law—l23¢ cents a single copy, and ten for » dollar. Dr. Marsh was followed by Rev, Mr. Trask, a gentleman who travels and delivers lectures on rum and tobacco. He proceeded to give his experiences in a peculiarly Gauche and unique style. He called rum a de mon, and made o great many remarks relative to “grit,” and “pluck,” and warmly eulogised the pulpit. He was followed by Mr. Haix, who has lately been lec- turing in Michigan on the Maine law. He said that the temyerance meetings in that State were very full and en- tic. He avnounced that the city of Detroit bad, th, given 300 majority in favor of thelaw. (Ap- plause.) He bad no doubt that Michigan bad gone for the law by 15,000 majority, He also said that the Jaw would be passed in Connecticut, notwithstanding the ef- forts of the Hartford rumocrats to whip.in their political friends. There was a great deal of rum and corruption in the Connecticut Senate, and it might stave olf the law for another year. Mr. Hale was in favor of legal suasion, and thought that the highest ex- Fonent of moral suasion was law, and the Maine'law was the only remedy for intemperance, dr. CLurr rove, amid cries of Hawkins.” Mr. Cluer insisted upon speaking, He announced that he wasa Scotchman, and that all the crime was not committed by foreigners, He wished that people would leave their pre- judices at home. Mr. Cluer said thet he had seen as mapy drunkard Americans as of other nations. He derived to join everybody under one common platform. Mr. Cluer proceeded to give some of his experiences in in the police court, Boston, and announced, for the six- teenth time to-day, that he waa agent for the Shak- speare Division of the Sons of Temperance. Mr. Cluer be- came excessively pathetic in relating his various noble herr and closed with a lament for the absence of en. Mr J H. W. Hawsins succeeded, and made a speech ia favor of legalsuasion, He suid that the cry agatuat legal suasion bad always injured the temperance or Washing- tonian cause; ard, as was shown in Maine, that caure réver got on until the law was uusparingly spore |. Mr. Hawkins cloced bis speech by advertising a book sold by him and written by Mr. March, and which came at the low price of 25 cents. A delegate from New Bedford wanted to know where a men whe would not patronise a rum shop could get feed and lodging. Mr. Wiuams said he had no information on the subject. A motion to adjourn (now half-past five o’closk,) pre yailed, and the convention adjourned, to meet at a quar- ter before eight o'clock, a Thus far the proceedings of the convention have neither teen enthusiastic nor interesting. A thunder shower, which came up this afternoon, was yery welcome. TELEGRAPHIC. Srrinarieto, June 22—10 P, M. The evening session was entirely devoted to spsaking, and addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Wolcott, Mc. Kel- Iegg and others, The convention will dissolve at the close of the meeting to-morrow. The Exeention To-Morrow. NEARY TO BE HANGED FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE.
