THE QUESTION IN ENGLAND. {Frem ihe Lonéon Globe, (Palmerstoa’s organ,) Novem- ber ti, P.M) If hypocrisy is the homage which vice pays to virtue, seldom has that homage been paid more il- lustrious'y than by the Russiau imperial manifesto of the 21st alt. “Russia is challenged to the com- bat,” according to that most extroardinary state paper, ‘acd she hes no other course left ber than, putiing her trust in God, to have recourse to force of arms, and so to compel the Ottoman government to respect treaties, and to obtain reparation for the s with which it has responded to our most " us, and to oar legitimate solicitude jor the defeoce of the orthodox faith in the Bast, professed a’so by t Russia.” it must at cae ike every uncorrapted intellect e siatement ot the case cf the one par- » with very slight changes, a perfectly ut of the case of the other. p . which bave now at length met wus assuredly ‘cha'lenged to the combat, party assuredty was not Russia, If at any yfriod since these have been felt during the last two weeks.» The Seine has overffowed its baots, aud the Rhone ri done the same thing. Many accidents have been has experienced ouring this uncommon overflowing of | the rivers of France, and the harvest yield on the bauks has all been carried away. The usual visit to the cemeteries of Paris, on the 2d inst., wos considerable. It has been valenlated that over two hundred and fifty thousand persons visited the Pere la Chaise, and one hundred and fiity thousand the cemetery ct Mont-Parousse and Mopt-Martre. The quaatity of immortal wreaths aod bouqrets brought by the visiters to the graves their relations has been immense, the cost of which is calculated at the sum of three hundred thousand francs. On the following Sunday, 6th instant, the great steeple chase of Lamarcbe, the last racing of the sea- son, tok piace in presence of ail the sportsmen of Paris. Ihe most favorable weather, at first, favored the amateurs; but before the end of the rave the clouds darkened, and the rain svon poured dowa in torrents, giving the most disagreeable “ ducking” to all those whe had nut been pradent envuga to tarry with them their umbrellas and waterproof coats. On the whole, the steeple chase was a@ poor afluir, and as no accident happened, the sportsmen did not seem to be much contented. The Americans were in arge numbers on the ground, and among them I will particularly mention Madame H.'s daughters and son in-law; Mr. B., driven ina large barouche, la Danmon?, who seemed to enjoy the ton si#4-yAetitaost satis faction.

The court of Louis Napoleon will give the note of the festivities as soon as the Emperor and staif bave returned from Footainebleau, and then the financial, commercial, and bourgeoisie saloons will follow the example. If nothing takes place to change these prospects, we are induced to think thst Paris will be very gay this winter. The kuocking spirits, or rapping “ tic ta we cali them in Pacis, are stil in favor.

The treaties | concerning the “Orthodex Chureb of the East,” to which appes! is now made, have been so ‘ar ob- | eerved by Purkey that the Czsr himself alleged af instance in which they had been vislated, nor did be pretend to do mére than demand their “coutiraa- tion.” In the course of the negotiations he repeat. | edly declared that he asked for no ‘ extension” of | | the rights with which he was alre invested by | existing conventions between the two governments, | but simply required that those rights svould be con- | firmed. Yet nothing cao be clearer than that a treaty, if already inviolate, would rather suffer than | gain dy a pratuitous assertion of its valitity, not to | mection that the P. rte was plainly at liberty to de- | cline any such unne essary act, without exposing i+ self to a declaration of war. If the course of affiirs, however, on the Danube is really such a3 we have been led to believe, the | Russian manifesto will be nearly superfluous, for it is | improbable that the Turkish army coald be stopped | in so extraordinary a career, or that battle after bat- | tle could be tonght without a regular state of war. | We scarcely know to attach perfect credit to reports | | so unexpected, but the errors of informution, as we bave before observed, are not likely t»be of that kind which would dimiaish the wonder of the story, while we are perfecily unable to explain the results by avy supposition of si gem or policy on the part of | the Russians. ‘That Prince Gortschakoff should | have been ordered to maintain the defensive as long | as possible was netoral enough, but that he should purposely have exposed a small force to be repelled” by a large one, or voluntarily have accepted a defeat even when these conditions were | ceverred, is abovetner incredible. Lf 40 060, or even 30,000 Russian, have beew uterly rowed by 20,000, or even 30,000 Turks—and we do not see how to disheliove it—it cannot be denied that the Otto- mac and Russian armies are not what they were re- spectively presumed to be, not only by ail Burope, but even by the belligerents themselves.

We confess, again, our own inability to beiieve such an extraordinary phenomenon, but intelligence of facts, however long Geloyed or obscurely coinmnpicated, must eventaul- | ly arrive, to elucidate and decide the question. i [From the London News. Novamber 12.) | We are now in possession of the unsbridged, ua- | softened manifesto of the Czar. We give it u4 trans- lated directly from the Russian.

If the struggle, hower ould be protracted, Turkey may promise herse!f more auxiliaries besides France and England, ad other inevitable diversions of Russia than those on the eastern shores of the Bla cad on the Caspian. {From the London Times, November 12.) The Turkish qnestion has experienced an addi- tional complication. The Emperor of Russia has now ft os of the Saltan, in publishing a forma! de fon of war. His mauife: after set- ting forth the © provoca' * which Russia bad re- | ceived, and the “ insuits’ with which VLurkey had replied to “the Czer’s most moderate demands,” announces to the world verisl inteation of ex- ucting full satistaction by torce of arma. The terms and purport of this dovomeut are most extraordinary, In the first olace it is said to } 90 ymore thac her enemies, fora lengthened period, & the first of November, the identiva the at iatiag rs, had consent 29 that while wor was » belli- harg was resolric moment tat ny point appeared ¢ ‘plexittes cf thie offair, r-—with what motives we need ust 2 ing Tire—was undoubtedly anx ous to esca« position withont war, nor was there indeed difficulty in undergtgnding such a fact. eC fe of policy pow announced y degree to the recent transactions i chia, for at the time this resolation mu xen taken at St. Petersburg it dould scarcel bave been known that Omer Pasha would cross Danube.

The Czar, too, was represented paving declared that, oven if the campaigu should be opened be would be prepated to overlook the ia- cident.

With respect to the “arguments” of the imperial wanifesto, we need be at no pains to expoee the fal- lacy of the reasoning or the audacity of the asser- tions. Turkey had committed no offence whatever against Rosia, nor had the Porte offered the smallest “provocation or “insult to its powerful neighbor. On the contrary. all the insults and provocations pro ceeded from the opposite side. Whether thedemands of the Czar were “ most mod or otherwise, need not be inquired, for, whatever their character, they certainly could not be enforced by arms withont a violation of poblie law, nor could the invasion of tbe Danubien iipalities be accom plished without a mani breach of treaty.

But, should the struggle be un- luckily protracted, can we expect of human nature to maintain thia vuprecedented moderation? The mere excitement of successive victories is itselé enough to make men forget themselves. And, as the Turkish army advances in parsuit of its retreating straggling foe, the war will be carried into scenes crowded with terrible and painfal associatiorts for them. The atrocities perce vy the Russians at the siege and sack of Jemail, and many similar tra- ditions, will be brought back to their memories with all the liveliness of reality.

It | is highly probable that the Russian !1ss at Oltenitaa may have been much greater than that ch was acknowledged in the earlier despatches ; and if four- teen superior officers have been killed in asy action, | there can be no doubt of its serious nature. The | statement that the defeated army was retreating on Buccarest, furnishes no clue to the real facts. Atl the roads now threatened by the furkish forces lead to the capital of the provivi and the eane resuit woul] follow frou: a repulse either at icrajowa or at Olteniiza. The principal reseon for doubtiag the occurrence of a decisive action in the west of the Principality is founded on the disadvatageous position in whic Omer Pasha must apparently have placed ‘hia tore to ontain the rep: rted succe: It is highty yriba- ble that the Curkish troops may he what i: efficiency to the Russians; Lut it would be the he: of rashness in their ¢ memander so far to assume the superiority as te commence a great ofendve doe ment by attacking the enemy room: From Widdin to Turtus), vank of the Danube describes a lar: aud, con quently a general advance un ‘eribated from | orthodox Russians are already driviog the C! | the same | bases the neutrality of the Austrian gor | tended.

Isis remarkable that every detailed account which bas arrived confirms the contidence repored in Omer Pasba’s generalsbip, by showing that he hae, at every point of contact, found hig- self stronger than the evemy. The rumor that he has foaght a great battle with his left wiag, against the Russian main body, would imply a degree of temerity scarcely redeemed by success.

It is true that the Imperial declaration of wur repeats the allegation that it is necessary to vindicate the sacredneas of treaties, and to preserve the rights of the orthodox Eastern Church; but no manifesto can conceal the fact that the Protec- Russia is now fightiog solely to maintain her hold over a territory to which even the Chancellerie of St. Petersburg has sever afle sted to setup a title No statesman would now serioasly propose to the divan asy new conces-i. n to the prée- tensions of the Czar; and future negotiations will be greatly facilitated by the final withdrawai of all the projects which haye been contrived to modify the Menschikoff ultimatum, There can be oo difficulty in ascertaining what the Turks are fighting for, A portion of the Sniten’s dominions have been seized, to ccmoel a sacrifice of the national independesce; and the Ottoman forces are in arms to drive the in- vader back within his own frontier, as the best se- curity against any attempt tv renew his insolent de- mepds. Why Russia is at war the Emperor has still to explains for, ia none of the discussions which have taken place, any more than in the inflated and bombastical manifesto which he has just issned, has any ground been esteblished for the demand of avy convention, note, or diplomatic document what- ever. If existing treaties had contained the stipula- tions fraudulently uttribu‘ed to trem, new conces- sions on the part of furzey wonld have been utterly unnecessary; nor could any attempt to alter the actual relations between the two powers, justify hoa- tile measares to revenge its failure. The seizure of the Principalities was obvionsly the object of Prince Menschikcff’s mission, and when the fortace of war shal! have decided the possession of the disputed territories, the question of the Protectorate will drop of itself. No instances of oppression were ever al- l-ged as an excuse for the proposed interference w'th the Christian subjects of the Sultan. The best com- ment, however, on the imperial claim pret the Church in Lurkey, is to be found in the fuct thet the istfans: of Wallachia to take refuge in the mountains from their severity. Some importance seems to have been attached to aieport that the Russian Consul-Geseral, Yon Kot- zcbue, had arrived at Prince Gortschakof’s head- qvarters; but iirail probability, the diplomatic duties cf that tunctionary—supposing the statement to be + well founded—ere ostensibly at least contined to sti p- ulations for the exchange of prisoners and other arrabgements customary between belligerents. Lhe Porte bas no disposition to auticipate, by separate negotiations, the days sre gone by eben a Russian commander could buy off a pacha from his allegiance in the middle of'a campaign. The Tarkish Ministers are well aware of the obligation which they have received from ibe statesmen whose prudent counsels gave them time to prepare for war. Ube enthusiasts who as serted, six months ago, that the Ottomans were able torepel their aggressors, were nearly as mach mis- taken as the sycophants who urged submission to a force witb which It was thought madness to contend. Lord ce Redciite saved the Porte from a premature collizion, while the presence of the fivets in Besika Bey deterred Russia from attempting to annihilate the Lurkish force before it was ready for action. The English government turned a deaf car to reproavhes froin both quarters ; and the consequence is, that the contlict is how undertaken at least on equ: Ss. Tt ts probable uuat the agwresser may shortly be apxious for peace ; but be will scarcely be able to obtain it, except by the intervention of Europe. ‘Lhe two great German powers are ay show- ing more clearly their resolute determination to ab- Stain from any participation in the attempted plan- der of Vurkcy. ‘The dignitied silence of Prussia, aad the significant language of Austria, convey precisely plied rebuke to the pretensions of Russia.

If, however, reverses should fall on she Tarkish arms, the same result must be secured by the active in- terference of the Western Powers. fhe Court of St. Petersburg has, throughout there transactions, proved itselt superior to shame; but bivtory has never chown that it is inaccessible to the wholesome influence of fear. It is impossible to anticipate the time at which the aggressor may be tavroughty alarined; but it is certain that, when that object is attained, aud not befure, pease will be on the eve of conclusion.

Of this let the Istest events and the last document of any importance be taken ag conclusive testi- mony. ‘Those events—-the passage of the Danube, effected at verious poitts by the Turkish troops under Omer Pasha, followed up rapidly by the defeat of nine Mheurayd Raseiars (with a loss of more than seven ‘pat document —the Imperial Manifesto, dated the aust of October, and published by the Czar Nicholas in bis official organ, te Journal de St. Petersburg.

Examiaer, Nov. 13] ‘he intelligence from the Danubian principaliti furnishes os as yet with no accurate infurtnation as to what has actually taken place between the Ray siaps and the Turks. That the Turks have beaten the Rursiavs in several skirmishes, the chief of whisa at Oltenitza, appears to have been a considerable engagement, admits of no doubt; out, in every in- stance, the Turks are said to have been ia superior | force, and the statements are so vague aad conflict ing, that is is impossible even to conjecture the rela. tive onmbers on cither side, or to make out any clear plan of the military movements of Omer Pasha or the Russian general. E The most important and the only certain piece of infermation which bas Bion any new feature to tae contest, 13 the formal declaration of war against Turkey by the Emperor of Russia. The manifesto announcing the declarztion of war will be found in our latest telegraphic intelligence; and it may now be taken for granted, that, ne'ther ou the side of Rusia or Turkey will the sword be again sheathed, until the issue has been. fairly tried on one or more battle fields. The numerical strergth of the Russian | forces ta the principalities is not known; and it would appear from the unopposed passage of the Danube by Omer Pasha, and his first successes on the Watlachian side of the river, either shat the Russians never expected, and were, therefore, unpre- pared for, such & movement, or that they were not sufficiently strong or coscentra‘ed to yisk a battle. | The Russian army bas, unquestionably, suffered terribly from disease, and it is not at all improbable thut its strength has been too seriously impaired by the heavy mortality and the numbers still in the hospitals, to make any effective resistance against the first impetuous onslaught by the Torks. The knowledge of this fac) may have incited Omer Pasha to attempt their expulsion from the Princi- palties before any cot reioforcemeuts could arrive trons rab in thes enierprive, Turkey would very considerably have strengthened her future chances of resisting the Russions on their own frontier by the genera! feeling: in her favor which pervades the populations both of Wallachia and Moldavia. The tacties of the Ras- San gy ily mysterious, and are e2 plica assumption that his relive rer is to ce much too sivall for ctier than defensive purposes, Tie | olvious aim of Omer Pasha is to concentrate the whole of his forces after crossing the Da- nube at different points upon Bucharest; and the first decisive engagement will, in all pro- batility. take place in the aitempt to carry, by storm, the capital of Wallachia, The Russien manifesto imoudently throws upon Turkey the whole responsibility of provoking the | war, which the Czar would have the world believe is not of his seeking. The seizure of the Principalities he treats as a sintple act of self-defence, and the 0- stinacy of Turkey in resisting bis jnst demands, and | the counsels of the four Christian Powers, is pathe- | tically bewailed as the canse of all the calamities thot now threaten the two empires. Russia, howey- er, stands alone; ard if furkey,sivgle-handed, should prove strong enough to drive the Russians beyond their own frontier, it will bea well deserved chas- tisement, and a most signal humliation of the arre- Tugance and beasted power of the Czar.

It must be admitted tha ‘Turkey, whose conduct from the very outset of th’ deplorable conflict so visibly contrasts with that of Russia, bus acted ic a manner to localize and nation alize the struggle which is imposed on her by circum} stances, and by the defen of her honor and he; rights. While Russia so imprudently excited thq fanaticism of her subjects, aud preached up a kind 0 crusade in fayor of the orthodox faith—while sh made religion the dangerous jever of ter politica atabition, the Porte stipporicd by a tolerance thi liberslism of «hich has nothing to envy in the most Civilized vat avefully avoided, in al! its acts aud in v}l its proclamations, making any appeal to thos religious puthies whic it would hive been easy to avowe in the mings of the Massn} man popniation.

Even i? the Emperor of Russia felt inclined to emoloy force avainst England and France, he could not well draw the sword ogairst Austria and Prussia, which have displayed such perfect confidence in him “ The Empercr cannot and dar? not sim at & territorial ag- grandisement, which would inflict as deep a wound ‘on his friends as would the reuding away 2 piece of their own dominions.” Several passages which oc- curred in the Ruesian manifestoes and ereulars are quoted, and the vonclusion drawn is, thas the territo- torial mtegrity of Turkey will be 4s tittle endan- gered by Russis as was that of Sardinia by Austria.
