‘thrown ou, I will only say that, as to the capacity of er Majesty's arama to anawer them I am not, prepared to express an opinion; bat as far as the notion of there being any fear as to answering them, | hope that my noble friend and your Jertanips ‘will rest eutisfied that no sach apprehension exists I my mind, or in that of any member of her Majesty's government. Cee) To the first of. those two eircular notes no regular answer has been sent, be- jeaure the greater part of its contents alluded to nego- itiations which were originated by the French Am- buseador at Constantinople, and the remainder was Hforestalled by the progress which the communication referring to the question had made. The note was, Ibowever, answered in substance, although nothing ent in the form of a regular answer to it. The ond circular note was one of a different character, nd oné requiring an answer, and an answer was im- Imediately tent. (Hear, hear.) My lords, I have nly to add, that that answer was in entire conformi- ly with the note published by the French govern- ment, as, indeed, have been all the proceedings con- ‘ted with the question. (Cheers.) The Earl of Manmespusy—My lords, I think that ny noble friend is mistaken in drawing an analogy tween these two circular notes and ordinary. diplo- patic correspondence, which is kept secret until the proper time arrives, and then laid upon the table of he house. These two circular notes are not of the me nature; they are an appeal to ype ; they ere published in the St. Petersburg Gazedie, and intended to be read by every one who can read on Europe. I think that ver Majesty’s goverument ire taking a wrong view of the case, and that they incur the risk of considerable misapprevension and Pbloquy ; and I have some apprehension that these ircular notes will not be answered in the manner in hich they have been drawn up. ~Lord Buaumonr—lI hope that my noble friend the ecjetury of State for Foreign Affairs will not object jo give an answer to a question which I wish to put o him, if his ding so will not be accompanied with inconvenience tothe public service. I wish to ask ny noble friend when he expects to be able to lay he papers referring to this question before Parlia- uit, and in how short a time le hopes to be enabled > put us ia postession of what steps the goverument ave tuken? (Hear, hear.) 1am the more inclined lo put this question in consequence of the exiraordi- ary position in which Parliament aod the country it large are placed with regard to any knowledge of bat is actually going on, because, while the utmost blicity isgiven to the policy, the actions, the in- entions, ana the opinions of Rossia, the most 1 ‘y involves the opinions, the proceedings of this country. It is true that we are sents of France and of this y are negotiating in the interest of tue Porte, ind to preserve peace, and that there is reason to «pe that Austria an i Proseia have taken a part with Le object of maintaining peace; bnt, while this is the ase, Russia is acting as if no negotiation were go- g onatall, (Hear, hear.) While weare told that egotiations are being carried on with the view of reserving peace, Rucsia is actually making war. ‘his is a most awkward position for any country to le placed in; and it is very natural that inquiry hould be made as to how long Parliament and the ouvtry are to be kept in suspense, and how soon try may know the views aud intentions of fie government, and whut steps they have taken to jarry out the objects of preserving peace, cr of—if lece-sary—checking the rome progress of Russia. Hear, bear.) I wish, therefore, to ask my noble Fiend if he can state in how short a time he expects he negotiations to be so far advauced as to enable iim to give to Parliament and to the country some formation as to what steps have been dlready ken? The Earl of Cuarenpon—My lords, itis at no mall sacrifice of feeling that the government have ‘it bound to ask fora postponement of the discus- on on this question. It is our intention, when the oper time arrives, to place before Parliament the hileet information on the subject, We have no wish br avy unnecessary delay; and; in answer to m; ble iriend, 1think that a very few days indee ill be sufficient to show whether our negotiations i} succeed or not; but, whether they do succeed not, the fullest information shall be given to Par- lament and to the country. he eae of CLANRICAT DE—My lords, I wish to “my noble friend, the Secretary of State for For- vn Aftuira, if any infermation hes been reccived at ie Foreign office that the Russians have assamed he civil government of Moldavia and Bessarabia? ause Ihave seen it stated in the patie iearals hat the Poet Office has been taken under the direc- iow of the Russian authorities; end, if such be the hse, it appears to me inconsistent with a mere mili- iry occupation. 1 should also wish to be informed the Russian troops bave advanced towards the anube, or if they simply remain in occupation of ey and the district adjacent to the Pruth ? The Earl of Hoenn A lords, I have no formation of the kind to which my noble friend galluded. Ihave certainly seen it stated in the epapers that the direction of the post office, and her administrative functions have been assamed by he Russian authorities; but no such information has hed the government. I have reason to believe at no advance has been made towards the Danube, hd that the Hospodar still exercises his functions. 'y noble friend may remember that Prince Gorts- akeff, when he entered the Danubian eee es, issued a manifesto, in which he promised that ére should be no disturbance in the institutions of | e country. I think, therefore, that so shortly after e issue of & pceeanen of that nature, sucha ecceding as that to which my noble friend has re- irred cannot have taken place. (Hear, hear.)

Austria. | THE TURKISH DIFFICULTY—THE PEELING OF AUS- TRIA, POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS. The Vienna correspondent of the London jourpals, writing under date of the 13th of July, thus views the po- sition of the Austrian government with regard to the Turkith difficulty:— A few days since, you were iuform- ed that there was good reason io believe that Connt Buol dieapproved both tbe Russian manifesto and the occupa- tion of the principalities, The Augsburg Gazette has mow leg! & Vieona letter, which doserves particulier at- ention, it evidently expresses the sentiments of the Austrisn foreign office. The government writer begins b; observirg, that the manifesto of ibe Mmperor of Rus’ ‘gives a character to the occupation of the principali- jen which is much to be lamented’ The Rasrian Cabi- net originally declared that it required satisfuction for an ipsult—‘* whether real or imaginary it is not for ua to decide ’—offeed to its | honor, It was the eéarnost wish end aim of the Austrian government to induce the Porte to give th tisfaction demanded by the Ruasian cabinet, ‘but ip the manifesto to his people, ‘the Hmupercr takes up an entirely different ponition,’ It is the Heed of a Chureh ealling on the Russo Greek population of his em- ire to protect and dofend fellow-believers in Turkey, who ve demanded neither protection nor defence. ‘ina word, it is a qrusade in favor of the Amatolian chnrch— a crusade for which there is no assignable motive, a in recent times there have been no instances of the Creek Christiana in Turkey baving been oppreaced by the Porte,’ According to the view here taken of thingr, Rursia has placed herrelf in an isolated position, ‘as it is im- possible for the powers which were miost desirous to 9 band in band with her to support ber im the course rhe bas now taken.’ A compliment is pald to the ion of British and Treech sta‘esmen, who have hitherto carefully avoided giving any cause for a ebarge of breach of treaty. The religious characier whieh the manifesto gives to the whole atlair, imposes on the other porers the hecessity of not adyoseting such demands aa those made by Russia, ‘Anstria, as a great Ca‘holic power, cannot and will not feo! itrelf enilea on to further the union of the churches of tho Anatolian schism, undor tho primacy of one of the most mighty potentates in the world ; and Prassia, whose dynasty profexsas the Protest ant faith, is in the same position,’ Tue Nesseirose cir. culer of the second o?

[From the London Times, July 20 It is one of the unfortunate results of the present ae the authority sufficient to command res- ct in iis on pa , and that the laws of the country and the law of nations are violated with impunity under the very eyes of the Sultan's re- preeentatives, occurrences which took place at Smyrna, on the 22d of June, are a striking illustration of this extraordinary and dangerous state of Sing, The law was successively broken by every party in this transaction; and Ali Pasha, the governor of the city, was not only incapavle of putting any eé restraint upon the fo- reigners Smyrna harbor, but had, in the end, to suffer for the outrages they had committed. The facts were briefly alluded to by Lord John Ruseell, on Monday evening, in the @ouse of Commons; and we recollect, from the different ac- counts we have received, that they occurred in the following manner:—Martin Kossta was one of the Hungarian fugitives who escaped with Kossuth after the capitulation of Villagos, and took refuge within the Turkish frontier. The Porte refused to aurren- der these refugees to the demands of Austria, but detained them at Kiutayah till the following year, when, by putting a somewhat liberal constraction on her treaties with the Court of Vienna, she allowed them to proceed to the United States, upon their promixe not to return to the Turkish do- minions. That engagement—if such there really was—was broken by Kossta, who found means to get back to Smyrna; but, as the Turkish govern- ment does not exercise apy vigilant control over the numerous foreigners who frequent that port, he had remained there unheeded by their authorities. The Austrian Consul, M. de Weckbecker, was more on the alert, and on the 22d of June he called on the governor, Ali Pasha, and informed him that Kossta was in the place. Ali Pasha rere that he should send for him and detire him to leave the country; there was, therefore, no refusal on the part of the Turkish authority to comply with the demand of the Austrian Consul as far as it was just. Atthe very e time, however, the Austrian Consul, and the flicer commanding the Austrian brig of war Ussaro, had resolved, in the most scandalous and unjus- tiflable manner, to take the Jaw into theiv 9wn hands, and kidnap Kossta by main force. He was ac- cordingly attacked in a coffeehouse by a party of armed boatmen, and, after a vigorous defence, Kossta was seized and carried on board the brig. ‘this occurrence naturally created a great sensation in the town, but the Turkish governor does not seem to have interposed, as he ought to have done, to obtain immediate redress for such an outrage on the sovereignty of the Porte. The American Cousu!,and the commander of the American corvette-of-way Ruint Louis, which happened to enter the harbor, exerted themselves, however, in favor of the prisoner, and endeavored to obta’n his release, on the ground of his having an American passport. | The fact, howevery,was not proved, and it is clear that, beyonl” the claims of’ humanity, the Americans had no more leyal right to inter- fere in the matter than the Austrians had to carry the man off. Bat the violent autipathy which has for some time past been smouldering between Austria and the United States easily breaks out, and this transaction is of some interest, as it exhibits the increasing readiness of the Americans to es with ardor this or that party in the political differ- ences of the Old World. The next day three efficers of the Austrian brig came on shore, and proceeded to a large cotfee-h on the Mnglish quay. ‘They were soon attac with great fury by about fifteen foreigners, mostly Italian refugees, and one of the officers, a Baron Von Hackleberg, baving been stabbed in the scuffle with a poinard, flung himself into the fea and was drowned. The consequences of this murderous onslaught might have been etill tore fatal, but, fortunately for the Austrian officers, and to the honor of our own countrymen, two English merchants were in the cefive house at the time, who manfully assisted in their defence with the chairs and tables to be found in the room. The Turkish Governor, who had neither prevented the return of Kossta nor his seizure by the Austrian boat's crew, was equally unable to punish this crime; and these three infractions of the law were soon fol- lowed by a fourth. The American captain of the corvette St. Louis resolved, without more ado, to de- mand the surrender of Kossta from the Austrian brig. He gave the Austrians four hours to make up the’ minds, and in the meanwhile laid his vessel within a cable’s length of the Usearo, and cleared for action. The captains on both sides bebaved with equal spirit, and were quite ready totight it outin Smyrna harbor; to which 98 may be supposed, the Pasha and the public strongly objected. The consuls, however, once more inte! ed between these belligerents, and it was agreed that Kossta should be landed from the brig and placed in the custody of the consul of France. until farther orders could be received ro. specting him. The matter was then referred to ‘onstantinople, where M. de Bruck made a peremp- tory demand for redress, although it would seem from this narrative that the se'zure of the fugitive by the Austrians was the first blow struck in this quarrel. However, the Divan was not in a condition to in crease the number of its enemies, and it submitte to the demands of the Internuncio. A new governor was immediately appointed to Smyrna, and an in- vestigation was commenced into the facts of the case. Between Austria and the United States the ques- tion is of a totally different character. In ordin: circumstances, unless at the solicitation, and wi the authority of the Turkish goverument, it is evi- dent that the American commander had no right whateyer to dictate terms to any forcign officer; dut the state of things we have described shows that the grossest outrages had been and could be committed with impunity, and all the ordinary usages of civil- ized natious were apparently suspended. Neverthe- less, the coercion applied by the captain of the St. Louis to the captain ef the Ussaro was of the most direct kind, and will probably be regarded by the court of Vienna asan act of hostility, for which they aie entitled to demand reparation from President Pierce. In the present state of feeling in the United States towards Eurcpe generally, and Austria in particular, it is certain that no such reparation will be given, and it is perhaps likely that the conduct of the officers of the St. Louis ‘wes dictated quite as much by the desire to make ee capital for their own government, as by ce fessional ardor, or, party predilections. The origin of these quarrels lies, however, in the want of power and determination on the part of the Turkish govern- ment. A resolute governor would have fired npon foreign brig, the captain of which had dared to kid- Nap a person from the land; and he would also have punished two foreign vessels presuming to threaten each other with hostilities in the port of a third power. In the midst of more serious dangers, such embarrasing incidents as these are not wholly insig- nificant, and they increase the difficulty of maintain- ing the nominalindependence of en empire which no longer suffices for its own defence, Is Australia to become Iidepemtent, [From the Helbourme Asgue, April 16.) We want freedom! With that, all would go well. To achieve this grand disideratum should be the principal object of that body which affects to repre- sent the public. We shall get it some day, and with the so-called representatives rests the alternative of acquiring it forus by constitutional mears, or leaving it to be eventually taken by a more summary pro- cess. One or other must be done, and that right early. The times brook no delay. Under ordinary circi mstances we might he contented to linger along in the semi-death, social and political, which Hng- land appears to consider the proper condition for her colonial offspring; but this torpid condition, dis- graceful to us as men, and doubly disgraceful to us as representatives of the vaunted race of Anglo- Saxons, is utterly incompatible with our present condition. We must be free. The main duty of our council will be to point ont tho mode. At present we are mere slaves—subject to the mis- tule, and bowing to the caprices of an irresponsible nominee, who bitter, bitter experience has taught us may be both a very bad and a very silly man. We are slaves to all intents and purposes, and ovr chains are not the Jess galling because they are gilt wilh rome fanciful mockery of freedom. How trae is this, when the ver; lent hes whose composition we now speak, the “ Legislative Council’ itvel’—that “deliberative assembly” to whom we ought to look as the constitutional means of redress for all our griovances—that body upon which, as men knowing what freedom is, we ought to be able immediately to rely, is nothing better than an assembly delibe- rately packed of squatters and nominees, where the people's voice is scarcely heard, and where their few real representatives are constantly out-voted upon every great question, by the vote giving ma- chines of the nominee master of this nation of slaves Ail this will have to change, The present state of things cannot Iast. A government may linger on, utterly unpopular, for a while; but the insolent de- flance of public opinion, which is the grand charac- teristic of our prevent executive, cayries within itself the seeds of its own destruction, and the destruction, too, of the vile system which could have organized it. A change must come, and we call upon the Legisla- tore of Victoria seriously to beware that it come * | peacefully. We want no outbreak. We hate blood- shed, whether the single murder of the gallows, or the wholesale murders of the melee ; but we cannot always continue a race of slaves, and the most abjoct soul amongst us may rest arsured that we shall not. We write thus principally for the satisfaction of those mealy motthed politicians who cannot bear to speak above their breath; for those timid totterers who look upon every bold stride in the march of freed: m as a social revelution—a shaking of the very falivic of society; and who tremble at a reform, ovever slight, with a childish fear that tho noxt thing will Le tho Comand of an infuriyted multitude JF vues, auvacy auu suet uit.

Cheered always by the firm reliance we have men- tioned, we suffer little dread under almost any pos- sible contingency; and if it should please Provi dence to allow the earth to swallow up, like Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, the whole Victorian executive to-morrow, from the Lieutenant-Governor down to the most insignificant police constable or crown no minee who has ever submitted to the indignity ot the Sovernnent brand, we believe firmly wnat ‘the people of Victoria are quite capable of organizing in one month, amongst themselves, a better govern. ment inevery department of the public service. Or if Great Britain should cast off to morrow the tow- lize by which she drags us along the muddy ditch of her colonial policy, we have such confidence in our fellow colonists a8 to know with certainty, that our safety would be greater, our prosperity more firmly established, our national character higher, our pro- grees more rapid, and ourselves bolder, greater, bet- ter men than willever be the case in our present condition of miserable vassalage. The change wij] come. We believe that it is far better for both countries that it should come quietly. And to that end we conceive that it is essential that it should come soon. There is nothing so much tobe deprecated as that the feeling of acrimony should be engendered between England and Austra- lia, which now so largely taints all her communica- tions with our elder brother of America. Every ef- jort ehould he made, that we part kindly whea we do part; and itis, therefore, better that ‘we prepare to part betimes. ‘Reform in England’s treatment of her colonies, we believe to be altogether hopeless. As a community we owe her much; as a government we owe her less than nothing. ~ Her “protection” is the sheerest humbug, stifling the principle of courage and self-reliance amongst ourselves, and betraying us iuto the very dangers from which she hy pocritically pretends to guard us. “She has done nothing for ns but to deluge us with felons, and crush us with bad government to the very eartit, Such deeds ag these can do no otherwise than call up rankling hatred and a deep sense of wrong; and these being protracted, will some day lead the timorous Augtralian to resist insults avd injuries rather more stinging and intolerable than‘the stamp act and tea duties which neryed his bolder brother of America. i » smooth a path like this, that a Legislative of Victoria is now chiefly want: it may se it-elf in its leisure hours with seab acts and vayrant bills, notices of motion and commit tees. But times are coming rapiily when sterucy duties await it, and when much will depend upon the masterly hand with which those duties aro por- formed. Australta, THE LATEST NEWS FROM SYPNBY. By the sriivai ot she WV ollvo 00100 ta jug tand we have reerived edvices from Sydney to the 2let of April The pontion of the colony of New south Wales 13 dos- cribed by the papers as being tbe most satisfac ory. ao yield of gold was steady, and tho average earnioga of each man are quoted at av Ounce aday. With regard to agri- culture the prospeeta of the formers wore ox-elloat. ‘The steamer Cleopatra dad anived at Sydoey with a2 vices from Me)pourne of the 16th of April, at which time neivher the Harbinger nor the Adelaide steamer bad ar- rived 14 G00 ouncer of gold dost were brought, into Mel- Lovrre by-escort on the 80th of April Gold had fallen rapidly im price »t Melbourne, and was quoted by the Argus, on the 16th April, ab £3 1da. aa ounce. The markets both at Sydney and Melbourne were al- most bare of gocds, and enormous profits were being realized on seme articier of import. ‘The Woolloemooioo had upwards of 50,000 ounces of gold en height. ‘The following in from the Sydney Empire of April 20:— ‘The comme cial condition of Sydroy ix, a3 it has been for some considerable time past, characterized by uncer tainty, hizh prices, ard exhausted stocks. Tae circam- stance of £0 few arrivals with supplies, ether from Great Britain or fiem foreign ports, is very remarkatle and this untoward circumstance—zo contrary to geoeral ex- pectavion—bas given to transactions ao excited cbarac- ter, whicb, in wany ivatances. has the appearance of un*asapied ex'ravagance. Goods ar® rue up to prices whieh are starcely justified by any state of the import market at which we have yet arrived, the competition belong stimulated by the immediate urgency of particu - lar demands, ratker than preduced Dy anytbiag hike per+ maven? tcarcity, But if business were evaducted in the mont sober wpliit, high prices for all mswnfactnred goods would still range, in cnvsequenes of the poritive iasuif- ciency of present imports, This state of things Is expe- rienced without apy rapid augmentation of our popula- tion, as was avtieipated—for during tha last few weeks, the ‘passenger treflic inwards has barely kept evengwith’ ous cutmard drain, ince the Ist of Apt fifty seven vossels have arrived from various ports, inclusive of Moreton Bay, bringing 1186 pessengers; and the departures bave been sixty, with 1,191 psssengers. The steamer Ohuaan 13 included, thongh many of her pacsengers would prooved on from Meloourne (she first pert of e3)1) to Adelaide and to Sia- gapore. By Sgures—whieh, lowever, must be regarded a8 approximaticns—-it appears that for the las’ Sweaty. days the excess ef departing pas-engers over arrtv: has been five, of which the numper of departures for Vie- toria has exceeded the arrivals from that colony by two burdied and sixteen. Besides this (lowing and counter. flowing of population, by water, between the two gold colenier, @ in a constant intermigration overlaud, hich to a large extent confounds any caleulations as 10 the fluctuations of the social stream in either colony. Ia tho pretent estimate some reduction has to be made in the care of the Chusen for the passengers proceeding to other porte, and it may also be mentioned that the steam ship Ceopatra is mite d pected from Melbourne, with, probably, #0 hundred passengers, which will about ba- lance 1be sccount. In £yduoy a ntrong disposition prevails to speculate in the formation of companies for working the mineral lands of the evlopy; but those projeets are at present almort *bolly coviined to men of substantial means and establirbed cberecter; and with the facts before the pubdlic which have already been disclored as to the un- doubted richness cf many districts im copper, lead aud iron, as well as the precious metals, and with the shares of our only copper mining company at 100 per cent pre- mium, it is not rurprising that the attention of close- thinking and ob-ervant men should be dirested to more important developments of these yet conesxled sourees of our patnial wealth, Among the remarkavle changes which the precent year will bring about, none will be greater or more valuable to acciety than the extended results of ix dus’ enterprise. Ry the eecorts from the Ovens and the Northern éiz- gis ge to day. about 8 000 ounces of gold were received in Sydney. It is expected that the Woolloomovleo, sailing for Loudon 19 morrow morning. will take away nearly 50.600 onnees. The price now rules at 77s. 34. to 6d. for Victoria, and 74s, 3d. to dd. fo: iw South Wales. (From the Sydney Morning Herald, April 20.) On the eve of the Woolloomovloo’s departure from this port for England, we take the opportunity of offering to our 1¢adees in the notber country @ few observations om the present aspect of affais in New South Wales, And in the first place we must ré¢maik that no subject cccupies more general attention just now in our commer. cis] circles than the extremely unsatisfactory state of our steam commo! tion with Eogland. he Austra- Jian Royal Mail Steam Company’s hip Adelaide, is more then two months overdue, and even her successor, the Victoria, is @ week behind her timo. With regard te the former, disappomtment at the non-arrival of her mails han, in Fome degree, given way toa deep anxiety for the ssfety of the ship and allon board of hor, No tidings whatever having been received of her movements since the end of December. when she was to resume a day or two, fears areentertained tha dave mot with some fatel dieaster. The consequences of theso ditantrous delays in our postal communications have, of course, deen exceedingly irksome to the whoe community. With nome few exceptions, there are no nivate let‘ers in Sydney of Jater date than October, be- ing thore brovght out by the Melbourne, In many ia atances our merchants find themselves ia the atrange po- sition of having received goods without the invoices, the jatter having been traramitted by the steamer’s mais, onder the full expectation that they would come to band kng hofore the cargoos, @ procesa just the re- verre of what bas happened. Bat the merebandise being ip urgent comand, sales are effected at conjectural prices, g0cd care being taken, however. t leave au smple mar- gin for profit, whatever the invoice prices mey turn out to be.
