The Czar of Russia had reiterated his demands on Turkey, with the ‘ltimatum of the occupation of the Danubian provinces Im the event of a refusal on the part of the Porte. But no war was expected. The assurances of the Emperor of Russia were considered of a pacific nature, even in ther face of the threat of Russia sgaivst the integrity of the furkish empire. It is avcerted that the occupation of the Daaubian principalities would not be considered a sasus belli.

The Earl of CLAaRENDoN—My lords, in answer to tho | question of my noble friend, I have to inform him that |; the report to which he refer as baving been publi-ked w fow days ago in the Moniteur, is correct. When the news reached this coun'ry of the departure of Prince Mens- chihoff from Constantinople, to be followed in a few days by the whole of the Russian legation. and when the rup ture of official relations botween Russia and Turkey was accompanied by menacing cizcumstances, her Majesty's ernment thought it wae their duty to give to Lord tnatford de Redcliffe authori:y to send for the Eoglish fleet, and to instruct Admiral be to proceed to the neighborhood of the Dardanelles, there to await a com- municstion from our awbasasdor at Cons‘entinople. (ear, hear.) My noble friend is quite right in thinking bat this step was taken in®concert with ‘the Freoch go- vernment, between whom and her Mejesty’s government —as on more than one occasion I have menticned here before-there has throughout existed, and I am happy to say there atill continues to exist, the most cordial under- standing and concert upon this important question The |* ambassadors and the admirals of the two countries have been furnished with instructions of a precisely similar purport. Both governments believe that their represen- tatives at Constantinople will use the same discretion and moderation in exercising the powers now entrusted to them, and I hope, also, that the necessity will not arise for their having recourse to_hostilitien; (eu for, as my noble frien: ils said, the measure which has been taken has been considered only ax a measure of precau- tion: and sofar from precluding will, I verily believe. tend to promote that pacific rolution of the dispute, to effect which I need hardly, my iords, assure you that the best endeavors of her Majesty’s government will be di- rected, (Hear. hear.) ‘The Earl of Denuy—May I ask the date of the instruc- tions issued to the admirals? The Farl cf CLareNpox—It was tho same day or the day but one after we beard in this country of Prince Menschikefl’s departure. In the Commons, on the same night, Mr. Layarp rose and eaid—I wish to put a qu . of which I have given notice to the noble lord, tae member for the city of Lon- don. An anpouncement bas appeared in the Moniteur, the official organ of the French government, that M. La Cour, on proceeding to Cozstactinople, was furnished with instructions to call upon the Freach fleet, if neces: rary, and that similar instructions were sent to Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, British Ambassador at the Sublime Porte; and that, in pursuance ef thse instructions, the two fleets have proceeded to the vieiuity of the Dardanelles, I beg leave to ask the noble lord whether this is the care, and whether the fleets of France and England have, according to this announcement, proceeded to any point near th rdanellee—to Besika Tay, or near those straits as they can do under existing treaties? lord J. Ruserti—I haye to state, in: answer to the question of wy honorable friend, that the aunounce- ment contained in the Aloniteur is perfactly correct. and that orders have been given to the effect stated in the Moniteur, We have not, however, since the orders were given, received any account of the English fleet havin, left Malta, or of the French fleet having left Salamis, anc preceeded to Besika Bay. Mr. Disragii—Perhaps the noble Lerd will tell us whether the instructions were given directly to the Brit- Pop egies at Malta, or to the Ambassador at Constan- ople. 1d J. Russrit—Orders were sent to the British am- barsador at Constantinop®, giving him power, under cer- tain limitations and in accordance with certain instruc tions, to call up the British fleet; and orders were like- wise sent. by a different course, to the Britivh admiral at Malta, directing bim to preered to Besika Bay. Mr. DisRazii—As this anvouvcement has only eppeared in a French paper, perhaps the noble lord would state the dates at which the orders were trap+mitted, Lerd J. Russert. —I #m only «peaking from memory. but I think the despatches to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe were sént on the 3ist May; and the instructions to the admiral at Malta were, I believe, despa’ched from this country on the Ist or 2d June—I think on the 2d instant. LATEST ASPECT OF THE TURKIS' QUESTION. (From the London Nimes, Jure 15.) ‘The oscillations of suspense are ‘much more stronely felt by our neighbors, the French, than by ourselves, and accordingly we were prepared for the violent alternations of hope and apprehension on the Eastern question which are conveyed to us from day to day by the telegraph from Paris, But, in reality, we bave already shown that it is extremely improbable that any important occurrence thould take place. or any material chauge be annouaced in the present course of evente, until we have had tine to learn the result of the messsge conveyed by the lact Rursian courier to Constantinople ; and, as the period ansigned to his commtxsion will not expire till avout the 10th, it is impossible we should know the consequences of his communicstion much before the end of the present month. In the meantime, as the Russian government bas distine'ly intimated to all Europe that it is resolved te adhere to its demands, and that, in the event of fail- Ure, -eill seek for redress by the occupation of the prin- cipalities, 1 fpsurd to suppose that any other course of proceeding will’ ve cimultaneourly pursued. aud that negotiations can be open.’ with any effect elxewhere than at Constantinople and St. reveschurgh, From the latter capital each succesrive statement streoginens the belief that Price Menschikoff correctly represented the intentions and instructions of his government, that he bas been fully approved, and that there is now ho intention ef reverting into a less dangerous path. With there facts before us, which seem to be the orly fects that can at this instant be known with precision, we see nothing to explain or justify the favorable turn which has been given ‘to public vinion in Paris; except that, as the danger of war had been romew hat exaggerated on one day, it was rather too easily dispetied on the next. the truthbeing that the state ef affairs remain» wholly unchanged. We, therefore, at- tribute these attempts te obtain credence tur more favor. able intelligence to the strong desire of certain pattivs, d probably of the French government, +o counteract the heavy fall.on the bour-e at Baris, or, at at any rate, to carry on with additional chances the enormous specu: lations which there events bave occasioned. The agents of the Russian government, too, have of course, contri bated, by their language and assurances, to lesven the apprehensions avd to ruspend the preparations of the States opposed to the de-igns of the Emgeror Nicholas, and prodably the mission of Count Panin to Paris has no other object. It was already well known in this country, and we our- selves bad publicly stated that ia the same despateh in whieh the Emperor of Russia communicated to the other Courts of Tui vis intention of sending back the proposal of Prince Menschikof by a common courier, and of occupy: ing the Principalitics in the event of a further refusal, he disclaimed any further intention of overthrowing the Otto- man empire, or even of ‘making war upon it, But, after the cceurreboes of the lsat few weeks, we cannot regard such « declaration as anything more than one of those artifices of ciplomatic laoguage in which it is customary to give & mild and qualified expression to very unwelcome facts. Tho occupation of the Danubian Principalittes may not amount to @ positive and neces-ary casts Lelli, We have expressed an opicion that it is politic, under the present aepect of affairs, not to regard it as such, but to concentrate the cel nsive forces of Turkey behind the Denubs. Whatever may be the preparations of the Rus- ting arty, the passage of thet aréat river is, both in a military avd political eense, a difficnlt and critieal opera- tion; sud, before it is accomplished, we have little doabi that further negotiations will take place. Bul. the occu- potion of the principalities is a measure which would prove Cecivive, precisely because it is, comparatively speaking, safe ont cary. The unfortunate inbabitants ot those’ pro- vinces have repeatedly endured the hardship of being overran by Bussian armies; and searcely two years have elepeed wines the Lursian troops were withdiawn, after beving exhausted the country, and then exceted a mili- tery contrivetion of £600,000 for their maintenance. But the ceenpetion would have no positive effect te } produced by Loe ettitude assaunid on the obligations or the {interests of Turkey, and, though it may give the Emperor of Russia a very ivorial ideation to hold these provinces a certain period, it would not bring him a step nearer the cover: ‘ieh he instructed Prioce Men-chi- to ormand. ve Court of Kuesia intends, aa it has ing to impose on Tar ch ithas put forward with reference urch it is evicent that, even after the wpation of the principalities bes taken place, the same Hi be repeated, that the next step ore cerious rupture, unless come expedi- # be assented toin the meantime We to afirm that such a compromise {sim- possible. we hope aud believe such a compromise will be bat it tr evidently eve grounds although the door is certainly not La negotiation ia any form, consistent with frow bis cruise, for the despeiches sent im search of Uhat officer, were not, as Join Admiral vely, quined, i ta of conree Beoerary that. the Britien Ad. inirulty should be im & conditina to watch the Russian here precautions tre net more than sul eiont provide ageinet the emergency, which he, heen Ravsia; gad until ‘bar ruceacded pub'ic mind of Furope dian principalities, because the consequences of that measure to Adstria and Turkey would be rater indirect than immediate, Buteven that step is one of extreme importance, and. though it may not be made an imme- iate ground of war. it ix an event which will long con. ‘ayes Seeavenaaly te affect the pacific relations of several A ates.

Inthe House of C.mmons, 6n the 14th inet, Mr. H. BERKELEY moyed for leave to introduce a bill for the pur- pore of protecting the people from undue influence ot elections in England, by substituting the ballot box for the present viva voce rgstem «f voting. Ai the conclusion of the debate Lord J. Russru. said— The honorable gentlemen thought fit to represent that, while Ibad beld very popular tsnguage in opposition, I had, when in office, changed my course and taken a very diferent view of the subject. The fact is, that the spece the honcrable gentleman alluded to was made in the month of July lust, previous to my election for the city of London. Thad voted in this house against the ballet - & few weeks before, and when I was asked before a large meetirg ic Guildhall what course I should tuke on the ballot, T said I ehouid vote against it, andT gave my rea tons to that numerous assembly which generally meets in Guildhall on thoee occasions agatast the secret voting which the honorable gentleman proposes. I will not now go into arguments with regard to for cruntries, with ore exception to which the honorat member for Mavchester has alluded, aud it is worthy cor- tamly of remark, because we have usnally heard that the example of the United Stutes of America—no doubt a great ard free country was one that ought to be held forth for our example, and worthy of our imitation ; but if it should appesr that some of the United States of Awerica themee!ves have great soubta with respect to the value of secret voting, I think it is aa argument for us to pause, at least, before we adopt _a plao which they for 2 Jong time pursued, but upon which they éo not reem to bave decided ax an advantageous plan, (Hear.) The honorable gentleman has, I be- Keve, truly related that in Massachusetts the bal- lot has for a lorg time been established, but the law establishirg the ballot stated that the name of the voter was to be written on a paper, open and unfolded. (Hear, hear.) Thece was no secrecy whatever about the vote. (Hear.) 1t was a mode of voting different from curs: but a mode of voting which did not imply secresy. which did not practicatly carry s0- crecs with it; and therefore in principle resembled our mode of voting. rather than the secret mode proposed by the Hor. gentleman. (Fear, hear.) Itistrue that the party who had the majority stated that there were such abuses, such intimidations, that it was necessary to es- tablish the secret ballot; great party opposed that change; but it wax carried. However, within a year after it’ was carried there was a majority of, I believe, 184 to 7 in favor of the ropenl of the secret ballot law. The He gentleman says there has since been a convention, and that the majority of that conven: tion are in favor of secret ballot, and will make it part of the eonstitution. We do not know how that may be, but we know that after the se- eret ballot which the Hoh. gentleman | eed had been tried for a year in that noble and State of Massaebusetta it was abandoned by « large majority, and that majority, I may cay, contained some of the most dis tinguished men, and was supported by the opinion of some of the most patriotic, most learned, and most emi- nent men in that State. (Hear, hear.) Then all I argue from this is not that the State of Massachusetts may not finelly establich vecrot ballot, but, at least, it is matter of contention amorg them; and one party, at least, having this year a majority in the Legislature, refuses to carry on that recret and decided that it should be reé- aled. We know, likewire, that, as my right honorable Friend the Secretrs'y at War, has stated that the govern: ment of New York has stated openly that bribery and corruption aré, making great advance in that State, oud was an evi’, that required to be checked by » new law. Can «ny man any longer state that for bribery and intimidation they bave a perfect and infalli- ble rerrady, when you have such accounts from the Unite’, ‘States of America, where it was raid to have beer, mont successful? Well, I say, not that America ¢etainly will finaily have recourse to open yoting—al- dough an old patriot of America, John Randolph, raid that recret voting, if it did not find a nation scoundrels re to make them so (laughter)—for it may bo that the United States of America aa, think it expe- dient to adopt some course of secret ballot; but what | Delieve is, that they will no} persist in that law, bat will = prefer the open ballot. If that {s the case-if wo, in fagt, ple, ei‘her in avcient or modern times, of ret voting being succesful (the oaly being in the republic of Venice, potinm), then I say, at least lat ue your wegome surer foundation to reat a belief on that this secret soane ts & sufficent remedy for the evils complained of; and let us keep that mode of votirg which has been found consi:tent and compatible with all that is noble, with all that is manly, and with all that is free in our institutions.

Hin sole object was to introduce the ex. \e of the case to the notice of their lordsbips. and to show that meavs existed for rewoving the difficult; without doing anytbing offensive to the State of Sout! Cayclina. 0 desired to express a hope that the ipbabi ‘6 and authorities of that State would them- re steps of their own good will for bringing wbout bat result which all desired to see effected. Their lordships were no doubt aware of the severe laws which existed in South Carolina with respect to men of color, A law now stood on the statute book of that State whish empowered the sheriff of the district to go on any ship which arrived in bod po from apy quarter of the world, to seize all the colored men whom be might find in the vessel, and to im- prieom them in the public jail until the time came for the departure of the 5! ip Sevéral laws had been passed upon this subject by the State, but the one to which he withed more particularly to re‘er upon the present oc- capion, was enacted in the year 1835, and was entitled “An act for more effectually preventing free negroes and other persons of color from entering into the State of South Carolina.” The first section set forth, that it should not be lawful for any free negro or other person of color to be brought into the State, under any pretext whatever, either by laud or by water; and it went on to evact, that any free negro or other colored person re- fusing to leave, should be subject to such corporal punishment as the courts mizht think fit to award, and that. if he still remained after the inflictign of such cor- poral punishment, be should then be sold in public sale asa slave. The second section enacted that, it should not be lawful for any free negro er other perzon of olor to enter the State ou board of any ship, as cook, steward, or wariner, or im apy other exsployment, and it em- powered the sheriff to seire sueh free negroes and otber persons cf cvlor, as might be brought into the State by captains of ve-sels, and to detuin them until the ships were aggin ready to put to sea, Now, as their lord- ships were aware, the small craft which carried on the trace between the West Indies and certain portions o* the State of South Carolina were necessarily, tor the sake of economy, manned by nvixed crews, coasisting partly of colored and partly of white men. When these small ves- rels arrived at Charleston they were regularly boarded by the sheriff, and the whols of the negro seilors were taken away, the captains being thereby compelled to employ slave labor for discharging and loadiog their vessels. Of courre, that materially interfered with the commerce of the West Indies and he regretted to say-that the evil had recently been still further aggravatea by a decision pf the courts, to the effect that no person apprehended ‘under the act was entitled toa writ of hubeas corpus. Such, then, was the Jaw of South Carolina, and: the object for which it had been instituted was wedly the pro- tection of the State from the dangers which might arise if free negroes were allowed ty associate and if nothing were done to prevent such communica: tion, ‘bere was, however, am existing treaty between this coumiry avd the United States, which guve certaia Privileges to our mercbavts, shipowners, azd captains of versels trading with these States, and the question na- tually srose, what was the effect of that treaty upon the wunicipsl jow of South Carolina? If the treaty:was mace subsequently to the pasting cf the munict; , then it was entered into by both parties with 2 full knowledge of the rarure avd ebject of that law, audit could not be permitied to override or influenes the ope- vation of that law in any way, unless such was specially provided in the tresty itself, No doubt a treaty, when once ratified, became the supreme law of the countries evtering into it, but the understanding always was that itrhould not affect existing laws; though, on the other hard, if a fempt were made by cue of the partic: afier the retification ef the treaty, to defeat iis o hy the pasring of a municipal law, the other contracting party would have a right io demand that the terms of the treaty should be adhered to. Now, it seemed that a commercial treaty w ered into betweea Groat Lri- tain aud the United States, as far back as 1815. In that treaty it was stated that between the territories of the United States and the European possessions of his Britannic Moujesty, there should be a reciprooal Liberty of ccmmerce. and that the merchanta of both “countries should enjoy complete and perfect recuzity for their trade, subjoct to the laws and statutes of each, This treaty was finally renowed in 1827, and by an of Congress itself, in 1820, the com- mercial privileges which were enjoyed by the European porsessions of his Britannic Majesty were extended to the British West Indies. Such being the case, it eemed rome parties in this country—he euppored the sro- vinent ot the ay —interpreted the State law of South Carolina snd the treaty together, in such a manner as convinced them that the latter overrode and neutralized t the treaty had been in force before the State law, and that it coutd not be vet at ance by any rubsequen? municipal law of South Caro- linn. Instructions were accordingly sent to the British Couvul et Charlestan. directing him, ia the first place, to endeavor by srmcable Means th Bar Une Sue Ia atte eg. avd if thet failed, to bring the matter before the su: reme tribunals of the United States. Now, he (Lord Hesumont) would not himself give any opinion with regard to the point whether the treaty overrode: the Stste law. or the State law the treaty, becane, aftar looking carefully at the subject, he thought a good écal might be said im favor of the view taken by South Carolina, while strong arguments might also be adduced on the ovher side. However that migltbe. the British Consul at Charleston (Mr. Mathew) ia 1860, addressed a comma- cation to the Legistainre of South Carclina on rhe sabject. A committee *as appointed to consider it, snd that com mittee reported against any modification of the munici pal law, though certain hivts were thrown out, at the erme time, that it was porsible the law might be altered at some future period. Afiairs stood in that position when, in 1852, a colored reaman, belenging to a vessel in the poit of Charleston, was seized and imprisoned, A wotion was immedistely made in one of the courts of that plece, on the pert of the British Consul, for a writ of hatews corpus; but the application was rejected, and the Governor of the State went to the length of declaring that he would bave instructed the sheriff, urder any circumstances not to give up bis prisoner. These pro ceedings, an amatier of course led to much excitement, ord he believed a giext deal of iil blood was excited on the occasion, However, the British Cinsul thought it his duty to preceed in bis opposi ion to the State law, and accordingly he took adventage of the care of » colored sesman, Damed Roberts, to bring the question before the supreme courts of the United States, actually serving @ writ of trerpees and false imprisonment upou the sheriff There the case stood at present. No further steps had been taken in the matter, He was sorry to ray that a great deal ef bod feeling had been shown in Charleston towards the British Consul, from whore proceedings no result had come, nor was likely to ccme—ard indeed, it was much more probable that a remedy would be applied by South Carolina itwlf than that the federal government would endeavor to force tis cpivien upon that State. He was indueed to say so from A parrege in ore of the reports of the Goversor of South Carolina on the subject, where he recommended, should the question be fairly raised, a modificatien of the lar, #0 a8 tu require captains to confino their colored reamen to theix versels, and to provent their landing without » ticket of leave from the sheriff He (Lord Beaumont) believed # modification to that extent would remove the grievaues complained of; at ali events, it Would bea step in the right direction, He should be sorry to see instructions sent ont lhkely to cause any further irritation, without leading to positive gocd; and he trusted our consul would be in structed not to let the subject crop, but attempt to in- duce the Legislature of Souti Carolina to take the initia. tive in coriecting the evil. He trusted they would, of their wish and inclination, commence a modification of this severe n leave ua to obtain it from them asa righ bring the action of the federal govern: ment > beng upon the government of South Carolina. Having placed the matter tairly before their lordships, he would conclude by moving for a copy of the correspond: ence which had taken placo on the subject. ‘The Farl of CuAKENpon said ho had listened with great attention to the eperch of the noble lord, ancewas ex- cemely giad that he had brought the subject sader the notice of their lordships in a tone of such moderation, and ina wanzer not likely to lead to any of thet irrita- tion which such discussions were sometimes calculated to produce. The noblo lord had truly designated the acts which now prevailed in South Carolina; an‘ysinee the no- tice which bad been given on the subject, ho had locked into the corrospendence, which was very voluminons, ex: fending as it did over a period of flirty years, and exhibiting cot only the great difficulties with which we have fad to contend, but the great dificulties with which the subject was still surrounded. The ipal one wes the weaty of commerce between coun: try ond the United Stater, by which the utmost free- dom of commerein! inte: was stipulated for on be- halt of thy subjects of the two countries, subject to that prov'.so which had been referred to, relative to the Taws an?, regulations of the individual States, It was under that proviso that South Qarolina had always in- tiste’a upon the maintenance of this law; and he had no hey itaiion_ in. saying. that this oe having beoa re: fe red to the different law advisers of the crown in varions forms their opinion was, that, however unjustifiable the lnw might be, we had no right to claim ita abrogation | utder the treaty, nor any right to isim compensation for injuries done to her Majesty’s subjects. Nevertheless, those cpinions had not prevented remonstrances, and ap- Bilestions and appeals had been made to the United ites government with respect to what he considered the unconstitutional nature of the law, and aleo a» to the ae of the treaty. These views were shared in by the ‘nited States government, and on one occasion a judge of the fees pe Court had pronounced the law uncon+titu- tiopal and yoid. The same opinion bad alse been given by the Auterney General of the United States, and upon one occasion a distinct representation waa made by the gov- ernment of the United States to South Carolina alan the law, but thir was met by a message so violent nature, snd by resolutions of such angry defiance, that 4 stop bad been put to all similar representations; and when subsequent nA tbe British Minister at W. remonstrated against the law being put into operation, he was told by the Secretary of State that it Great Bri-, tain insisted on the abrogation of that law under the treaty, the United States government would have no other course to pursue than to give due notice to annnl that treaty. The matter had still been mooted, and our consuls had been instructed to bring actions for false im- prisopment in South Carolina,in order to test the validity of the law. and for the purpose of afterwards instituting appeals. and endeavoring in this manner to obtain its jogation, The only result of all these efforts had been to show that the more #s exerted ourselves to get 1id of that law, the more determined was the State of South Carcliva to maintain it. He had in his posses sion the opinion of one of the most eminent lawyers in the United States ax to the mode of dealing with this diffenlt qnestion, with reference both to the federal law and the State law. His opinion, which was a very lovg and a very able one, pointed ont all the dist cultier surrounding the queation, and amoogst other things, he stated that thir law did not apply to one State Dut wes applicable to all the States of the Union. Sir Henry Bulwer, in a despatch in 1850. said that Mavs cburetts had proteste inst the law and the hardshi; it inflicted on that State, and yet they had never bee able to obtain the least redress; and there wus still leas hope of the point being yielded to this country than to a neighboring State, ba constant intercourse with South Carolina. He bad no objection to the production of the papers moved for by his noble friend. He hoped their production would not lead to any irritating or party dis- cussions, or be taken up by the press in a manner which might be productive of inconvenience. (Hear, hear.) The redress of grievances ol this nature was not best pro- moted by angry discussion. The proper mode of dealing with such subjects was by remonstrances. by time! discreet representations, and by offering ail possible guar- antees for securing the State from any disturbance of the yubiie ee. and he still hoped that the law might modified in the manner in which it had been modilied by North Caroliva and Louisiana.
