Bupture Between the Western Powers and Rusia ~ Deparvare Of the Rustian Ambassadors— Debate 6% Parliament—The Eastern Question — Prince Albert—The Ancrisen Ambaste- dor Absent-— American Subjects in autria—Oound Orleff’s u dec. pecagessts has come at last. Baron Branow at London, and Baron Kisseleff at Paris, hays demanded their pass ports, and left Lordom and Paris simultameousty, Toat great she diplomatist, Prineoo Liever, has also packed up her bosnet boxes, asd 1s gone to Brussels; but, if re- port speaks trae, casaot remain long there. The reason why the two Russian Am basse‘ors demanded their passports is beenuse the reply to the Emperor's de. mand of explanations relative to the entrance of the fleets into the Black Sea was mot satisfactory. [a my last communication I made you aequsinted with the nate of the explanations demanded. As yet the Ozar bas aot thought At to give amy answer whatever to the last pro: postion of the Porte, (the so called Redoliffe ultimatum,) so that theres still am outlet for him, The Queen’s speech still talks of prospects of peace; but everything Genotes war. This opinion is shared by all parties. The mext step will be the recall of Sir H, Seymour and General Castelbajac from St. Petersburg, and thea a for mal declaration of war. Ou the sight of the opening of Parliament the Eastern question was at ores brought forward, I will give yous brief analyms of the debate. In the Lords, the Marquis of Clanricarde attacked the p»licy of the govornmeat, and complained that in the speech itself it was not ted whether we were at war or not. We were on the brink Of a great war, which s firm attitade om out part might bave prevented. He th tered into w varrative of the Mensobitoff mission amd the acgressive course purened by Russia. T1¢ saw no prospect of peace now, and if Raw win was silly enough to go to war with the Western Pow ors, itcertainly should not be for the renewal of treaties which had led to the present “ifoulties, Lord Clarendon said that until the papers wers laid on the table he deprecated a discussion, He could say, however, that if Ruseis did not acorp* the terms ‘hat ‘were noy proposed by Tarkey. she would he ths “ols ob Btacle to peace, and on her would sest ths wholy re nibility of war. He hoped that whan the oorras son ds09 it would be found that at with the honor and 507 dignity of the country. The Earl of Malmesbury called their attention to a very remarkable omission in the Queen’s speech. No mention was ma'e of England acting in concert with Austria and Prursia. Earl Grey thought that the whole policy of the gevarn. ment stood in need of full explanations Lon! Derby made a very Jong speech against the gov ernment. He said that whilst we profenred to bs st we wore actually at war. The Earl of Aberdesn de jed himself against the charge of being a too! of Ras Bia, and declined giving any +xplanations on Palmerston’s xeaigpation and resumption of effice. In the Commons the debate was not warm, There Beemed to be an understanding to wait till the Parlis. mentary papers on the subjest bad been presented. Lord John Russell thanked the House for its moderation, Hs paid that the conduct of P.ince Msuschitof hal shown Shat Rassis had added to an aojast and unprinciple! in- vasiop, conduct which he eeuld not but characterize ‘as fraudulent.” Both im the Lerds ané Commons sonvider- ble pains were taken to whitewash Prinos Alert of the @harges brought against him. Palwerston did not speak. The gallant Sibthorp observed that he regarded the mpeech from the throne as a contrivance of Ministers to vover their own iniquitous practices. ‘Two enormous “ blue: books’’cf the correspondence on the Easter question between all the diplomatists at Vienna, London, Paris, 8t. Petersburg, and Constantinople, were yesterday laid upon the tables of both honses and copies feat toeach member. The great debate will come of shortly, unless actual war cuts it off. The mission of Coust Orloff—the bosom friend, the @ller go of Nich<las—ti still the great topic of the dey. ‘He bas had various interviews with the young Austrian Emperor, and the most contradistory rnmors are afloat as to the real object of his mission. It is quite clear to sensible mon that his object is to induce Austria and Prussia to join Rusria against the Western Powers. It ie Gificult to say what Austria will do. Her own interests ought to induce her to reject the Russiaa propositions. I fear she will not; aad yet the Austrian jourasls have mow taken a view more favorable to a ihering to France ond England than formerly. The Prince of Prussia is Baid to be decidedly agaiest Prussia joining Russia. It ts impossible for theee Powers to rem ntral in case of ® Eurofean war. A fow days must row decide the quesifon. ‘The American Ambassador was not present at the 0 ing of Periiament, sa only ‘full dress” was adn Bee an article om this question in thie day’s Daily News. That same journal of yesterday contains the eorrespon- Bence relative to the incarceration of an American sub- ject by the Austrian authoriti-s, to which I alinded om a former cecasion. ‘Ana play-off to Count Orloff’s mission, Louis Napoleon has sent his cousin, Prince Napoleon, on « special mission ‘to Brussels, where he has been received with great ho- more. Kiog Leopold will, it is satd, join Eoglaud and France in the coming stroggle. Denmark and Sweden fro actively arming. A telegraphic despatch has just been reovired here from mndoubted authority from Constantinople. It is dated January 22d, It announver the returo to the B:ephorus, fo their old anchorage at Bryoos of the combined frets from the Black Sea, Taeir return hed created the great- Bat astonishment at Constantinople. Why they bave snd- Genlg returned no ope Knows hers. Perhaps they feared the Rarsian fleet intende! a coup de main on Oonstanti- . This is simply ooojesture. A telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated Isst night, pays that it is reported there that the Emperor of Aastria has deciared to Count Orloff that if the Rassians cros ths Danube he will consider it a declaration of war. Aastris Adds the report, insists on the adoption of the last pro po- sitiors. I do not wish you to bslieve more of this report than is digestible; still it comes from a well informed quarter. Consols are at 90%. Our Paris Correspondence. Paris, Feb 2, 1854.

It iv not true that the Tursish saqvadron had op bosrd troops destined to attack Sesoum- Kale; there ships were charged with provisions for Batoum, and they bave been destroyed ia a Turkish barbor, which is Turkish territory, which Eagland is bound to protect. Before I bad concluded this last sentence, Count Nes- selroce iaterrupted me by strong sesurances that no- thivg eould be more unfounded then the sapposition of {ta having been the wish of the Russian goverament ts offer any sffront to Kogland and Fiance; that which bad happened was, he observe?, the unaroldaole consequence of the position taken by the two Powers and of that as signed to Rossis, Torkey, said Oonot Nesselroie, de- olares war upom us; she cpens the campaign before the term laid dows by herself; she invader oar territory; she takes a small fortress, which abe etill holda, aad then you find fault with us becanse we oppore hostilisies by hos- tilities; but remember, I beg, that we are at war with Turkey, an¢ that no one ever heard of a war which was not attended by such sots an you complain of; our attnek, too, was a deferrive act—the Turkish. whips were noto riously laden with military stores, intenied for the trives who are lighting up war on our borde 8 As to the last point, M. le Comte, I said, it is @ question of fact, and our two versions differ; Tam maintain, ax I before ata ed, that the Tarkisu ships were conve) ing stores to a Turkish town. As regards at you say 1espectizg the practices of war, I aust what I once before observed—if the preseat war is slow, it is out this extraordiaary state of things. 7 BOW not so mach com Paar as] am pointing out what is to be expected, and do not wish to conceal from you that whilst gr for- Dearance as to the es tramoe by our of the Black Sea has ben observed, and might bave been continued, this, tfter what has lately oceurred. in no lopger possiole.

Ov the contrary, I raid that is the way in which but to litle purpose, Iam eneavoring to jadge of your ob- jeetions; I suppose Eogland engaged in war with Turkey, and I can easil ropean States dealring to tak the affair; what I canvot realize idea of Eogland feeling insulted by the wish of other States to partici sate in an acjustment in which their interests should bs im- mediately concerned. - Coumt Nereelroce would only ask what the feelings of Erg’and would have been if rome of ths great Powers bad come forward to take part in the setiement of her dif: ference with Chins.

These seemed to us cogent reasons for not advising the Sultan to declare war, whea, by not dec! war, he gsined the douple ad vantege of leaving time fora peaceful settlement of the ciepute, on the one hand, or, on the other, of preparing for wffotuel warfare should peace not be established.

And, let meada, that honest policy of the French government has deen most faithfally repre sented here by the French Ambaseador at our eurt. (Bear, hear.) The two governments have beea in datly—I might almost say, in houriy—intercourse; have formes, as it wore, one Cabinet; and I can sesure your lordships that there have never been more differenesa betwee: these two governments, so united, than sre to be found in some Cabinets of our own— (cheers from the opposition benches, aud a genera!

When Prince Menroxlkoff left Com otanti ‘the Austrian goverment wrote to its [ater- nuncio a! Porte, that acous ter note might perhaps be framed out of the note which Prince Menscht koff had 8 1éressed to the Porte, sed that which Redschid Pasha had written in answer. The Austrian goverameat conceived that such # counter. note might be drawn poy toes ‘to Russia, and yet saving the honor of Tarkey, and intimated that ifsueh a note were prepared, it would use ite beat efforts to give it effect. At the same time the French ment had prepered a note om the same basis, which its Mintste: submiteed to her Majety’s gov- Fig ere Bhs ‘Sat otlll we reatily 6 beanyte in fi velng . Petersburg, but we concn: ts transmitted to that court and to Vienes. The Russian government gave no answer to the n¢ om the pany that the Austrian mediation already existed, At Vienna the note was adopted with some trifllog o and after communication with the governments of France, was, as modified, sent to St. Petersb; Porte. Russia was ready to accept the note on the con- Gition that no alteration was msde ia it; but the Porte objeoted, unless with some modifications.’ These modifi cations, 8 being considered only tarding to render mors clear the bona fide intentions of the fca! vere not objected to by the conference: ‘were transmitted thenos to St. Pstersda. commendation that the note so modifi cepted. As your lorérhipa, howeve: was rejected I beg to point oat that a great m kension exists with respest to the part of the Four Powers in thia matter. The Four Powers ware merely perties voluntarily offertog to_mediste in ths matter be- tween ths other two parties. They said—‘ Hore ts 9 dif. ference about two notes; we will endesvor note that shall mit both parties; but they w Ditrators, they had no rignt to impose their note on the parties ; thoy were ready to receive any 0 \jzctions, or to acopt any modifcations from ei party ; ano the beat proof of this is, that they hesitetingly adopt the mocifications proposed by tbe Porte, Hostilities how. ever, commenced between Russia and the Porte, and it then, of course, seemed impoenible to hops to set- tle the matter by notes. Still, tbe conference at Vienna, after paving rigned the protocol, which I do not my: self consicer by amy means s. unimportant as my nobl+ friend thinks it, by @ collective note asked the Porte en what terms it would be prepared to negotiate. When, however, that collective mote reached Constantioop!s, another basis of negotiation had been presented to the Porte by the representatives of the Four Powers, aad ‘these representadve, in the exerclse‘of # round discre tiom, did not, uncer cumstances, present the oo! lective note. The sete to which I bava referred wa: wholly approved by the reprosentatives of the Four Pow ers at Viera, who were unanimonsly of opinion that it was such ss Rus-ia ought 10 accept, and ia their protocol these representatives geclared that, if Rassia should yot socept it, Rursia alone would be the caute of alone responsible for ita conequences. ibat ia the presest etate of the matter as reg cr Ustion. Noanswar has been received from St. Peters burg. I may be dieposed to agree with my noble frien that the note is not very likely to be adopted there; at all bas been received. My lords, the iovn I have referred to were-atill pendiag when ful Aisacter at Sinope happened, by which the Yorkiah fleet (oot employed, let me say, ro far as] know, ia the way stated by my noble friend and in the Rassian carrying troops to Batoum, and stores to the CU-careiens, buat lying peace’ally in the harbor, and, for some cays previcusly. expected beck at oxtautinople,) waa destroyed in so horrible and berberoas @ mxune: the heibor o' Sinope. (Hear, hesr ) Upon thet oocur- reves, my lords, her Mejosty’s government, in concurrence with the French goveroment, determiced at omer to ex. tend thst protec:ion which had been three months before granted to tbe Ottoman territory and the Ottoman fisg, and they gave notice of this intention to the Rassian govern: ment, and to the Rasdan admiral Such is the preeant state of cur communicstions on this important question, I rhall refrain on the p-erent oscacion from going into Grtails, having confine’ myself to the endeavor to meet scwe of the charges which have been made against the government by my noble friend.
