Odessa had been bombarded by the combined fleets, and Silistria was beseiged by the Russians. We learn from Silistria, that the Russians were ax- pected to attack that place on the Ist inst., with 30,000 men, who were to cross the river under cover of seven- teen heavy batteries. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has agreed to accept ninety-eight and three quarters for the first series of ex- chequer bonds. Ten days for tender. Adreadful catastrophe had occurred in the English Channel. At two o’clock on the morning of April 28, ‘he American bark Hesper, Captain Jones, from Charleston, 8. C., for Antwerp, came in collision with the Bremen bark Favorite, Captain Hoegemann, from Bremen for Bal- timore, with one hundred and eighty passengers. The Favorite was struck on the starboard bow, cut down to the water’s edge, and foremast carried away. The cap- tain, mate, and four seamen, of the Favorite got on board of the Hesper during the collision, and the remainder of the crew are thought to have taken to the boat, but have not sincs been heard of. At daybreak nothing was seen of the bark, which, no doubt, sunk immediately, with all on board. The Hesper also sustained damage, but proceeded on her voyage, having sent the survivors of the Favorite to Portsmouth by a pilot boat. ‘The collision occurred off the Start. ‘The Cunard mail steamer Europa arrived at Liverpool at midnight on Sunday, April 30. The screw steamer Great Britain, from Liverpool April 29, for Australia, had returned to Liverpool, having burst a flue off Holyhead. She has gone into dock; will partly unload, and may be detained two or three weeks. The clipper ship Red Jacket will probably take the G. B.’s mails, ‘The Vienna Presse confirms the withdrawal of the Russian forces, bag and baggage, from Lesser Wala- chia—hospitals, magazines, and all. It adds, that it may be explained in connection with the formation of the two Austrian corps d’armee in Gallicia, the Russian prince not wishing to have his retrest cut off by the armies of Austria, or it may be that Prince Paskiewitsch is only anxious to concentrate the Russian forces against Silis- tria, and so force it to surrender, as being the outwork of the Balkan, ere the English and French army can come up to its relief. The coasts of the Black Sen are strictly observed by the combined fleets, The Russian communications by sea are completely cut off as far as Odessa. Great preparations are being made at St. Petersburg for the defence of the capital in case of an attack, which, it is said, appears to be much dreaded. At Warsaw one million roubles in paper had been issued. Prussia has forbidden privateers to enter her harbors. To April 16 the number of Russian merchant ships captured in the Black Sea was fifteen. Our London Correspondence. Loypos, Tuesday, May 2, 1854, The Bombardment of Odessa—The War on the Danube— Retreat of the Russians from Little Walachia—Austria and the Western Powers—The United States and England —Greeee, de. Official news of the bombardment of Odessa by the combined fleets has at length been received, and great curiosity, unmixed with anxiety, exists to ascertain the particulars. Theunexcusable firing into the boat ot the Furious with a flag of truce, led to the bombardment of this great Russian commercial emporium. The insult was too flagrant to admit of being passed over; and, al- though it would have been more satisfactory if a naval instead of a commercial port had been bombarded, still Odessa, having committed the outrage, has had to suffer the penalty. Moreover, Odessa, though strictly speak- ing not » port of war, is nevertheless strongly fortified. All the particulars that have as yet transpired are, that on the 17th April, twenty-six sail of the combined fleets arrived before Odessa. On the 18th they bombarded it forene hour. On the 22d the bombardment was conti- nued during the whole of the day, anda number o . buildings of the outer town were on fire. Four of the batteries were dismantled, and eight Russian and one Austrian ship within the harbor destroyed by the shells and congreve rockets. The town, refusing to surrender and give up the Rus- sian ships inside, the bombardment was renewed on the 24th. An attempt at landing 1,800 troops was prevented, and the last telegraphic despatch states that four fri- gates were considerably damaged. Some of the palaces, including the Worenzoff palace, were in flames. The bombardment was still going on at the latest advices} (24th April.) There is a report that the Russian fleet issued forth from Sebastopol, but that when it found that the divi- sion of the combined fleets was ready to accept battle, it withdrew again within the Russian stronghold. This would explain why nothing was done between the 18th and 224. I believe that orders have been sent out from London to attack Sebastopol. Our latest advices from Constantinople are to the 20th, by letter. There are nearly 40,000 Anglo-French troops at Gallipoli, Seutari and in the vicinity of the Turkish capital. The Himalaya landed the Forty-first and Thirty- third English regiments at Seutari, These are the first European warriors that have landed there since the doys of Richard Coeur de Lion. Some of the accounts of the landing of the troops, the astonishment of the ‘Turks, &e., are very amusing. The London journals are amply supplied. We have now something like authentic intelligence from Shumla. Omer Pacha has concentrated his forces. there, and will make a stand, He has now the assistance of many experienced European officers, and the Russians will not be allowed to advance further. The Governor of Matschin {sto be tried by court martial for having surrendered that fortress. He is accused of having been bribed by the Russians. Wealso know. now, beyond a doubt, that the Russian troops have retired from all their positions opposite Kalefat, and have fallen back on Bucharest. The Turks already occupy Malglavit, Gunia, Pojana and Palecheti, and are expected to enter Crajova on the 25th of April. This retreat of the Russians has puzzled many. The gereral opinion is that Prince Paskiewitch, who is now in the chief command, gave up the siege of Kalefat and Widdin a8 hopeless, and will concentrate the whole of his forces in or nearer the Dabrutscha, so as to be able to makea bold attempt onwarda, The fighting now will be severe when it does take place. ae yet no operations have taken place in the Baltic except the capture of Russian merchant vessels. The English fleet was at anchor at Elfsnabber, near Stock- holm, and Sir Charles Napier had an audience of King Osear, of Sweden, on the 25th April. He was graciously received. The ice is gradually breaking up in the Gulf of Finland, and by the time the navigation is quite free the French squadron will have arrived to take part in the operations. The garrison of Cronstadt is said to be 20,000 strong, that of St, Petersburg 100,000. It ap. pears that the Island of Aland has not been evacuated by the Russi: The island evacuated is that of Oesel. The most important political news of the day is the more decided manifestation of Austria to adhere to the Western Powers. The Duke of Cambridge had been the object of marked attention during his visit to Vienna. He had the honorof first dancing with the young Em- press, and in his interview with the Emperor when he presented an autograph letter from Queen Victoria, he received the most positive assurances that Austria would adhere to the Vienna protocols, and had no in- tention of joining Russia. Considering the recent treaty between Austria and Prussia this would imply that Ger- many will ultimately declare against the Autocrat of all the Russias. The official Austrian journals speak of the happy understanding between the Courta of Vienna and St. James. The Duke has left Vienna for Trieste, where he embarks for Corfu, where a British steamer awaits him to take him on tothe East. Lord Raglan has ar- rived there now; he arrived at Malta on the 25th of April, and started en the following day. Respecting the convention on ‘the rightof search,’’ between the British government and the American Am- bassador, Mr. Buchanan, the Globe of last night has a semi-official article. It says :— ‘A discussion is going on among the American jour- nals respecting a convention which some impatient cor. respondent of a New York paper had announced as being concluded between the British government and the American embassy in London, on the subject of “the right of search.’’ But we believe we are correct in affirming the conclusion on one side—that there has been no such convention. As soon as the arrangements for prosecuting the war came under the consideration of the govern- ment and the public in this country, the American Minister in London, we believe, acting under the authority of his own great experience in official busi- and with his usual zeal for the interests of his country, laid before our government the view which has already been entertained by the government of the Uni- ted States on the subject of the right of search. Of course it was quite impossible that any direct reply could be made to his representations; nor is it at all probable that, with regard to American interests, Mr. Buchanan would be anxious to effect a formal convention on fhe subject of @ right of which his country actualy deny the existence. On the other hand, although our minis- ters have shown every disposition to meet the wishes of foreign countries in amity with ourselves, they have carefully reserved any rights which have been claimed as existing in the British Crown. A practical example is the mode in which the subject of letters of marque has been treated. When the decla- ration appeared from her Majesty in Council, that licenses for privateering would be discontinued ‘‘at pre. sent,’’ much attention was drawn to the expression, as indicating a mental reservation, and leading to the belief that government would resort to privateering at some future day. But a more just interpretation of the phrase has construed it to mean, that her Majesty’s present ad- visers ‘lisclaim the right of fettering the British govern. ment hereafter, without, however, retaining any inten- tion of using themselves a species of warfare condomned as much by the public opinion of this country as it is by that of America. It is our own belief that privateering is rendered henceforward impossible, by the concurrence of the three leading nations of the world, in discarding itas barbarism. But the respect which ministers enter tain for the rights of their successors, ani for the future occupant of the British throne, restrained them from placing a negative restriction upon the judgment at a future day. It is perhaps sufficient that the subject of the right of search has been thus early brought under consideration; and that it has no doubt received that attention which its importance, and the importance of an ally like the United States, were sure to obtain for it. Another prin- ciple maintained by the American government, the free: dom of goods in free ships, has been spontaneously re- cognizéd in the declared policy of our present govern ment; and there is every reason to suppose that should any further question arise in the prosecution of the war, that same government would take care go to in- struct its officers as to preclude any just complaint, that we had infringed the independence of a friendly flag, or unnecessarily violated that accord which is so important to the interests of both countries, and to the welfare of the world. I think it very probable that the kingdom of Greece will shortly be occupied by an Anglo-French army. On the 12th April, an ultimatum was sent in to the govern- ment of King Otho by the representatives of France and England. Five days were allowed to the king to pro. nounce himself distinctly and categorically against the present insurrection, and to declare his intention of taking active measures to suppress it. Should the reply not be satisfactory, all amicable relations between the Western Powers and Greece will immediately cease. ‘The Greeks of Constantinople have been allowed Sif- teen additional days to complete their departure. THE EUROPEAN WAR. THE BOMBARDMENT OF ODESSA. It was prematurely announced in most of the Enzlish and French papers, a week before the event took place, that the alliod floets had bombarded the city of Odessa. Without stopping to comment on the remarkable circum- stance that the intention of the English admiral eyi- dently leaked out in advance of his acting upon it, we have now to announce that a portion of the allied fleet has actually bombarded Odessa. An account of the bombardment is officially promulgated at Vienna, whence it has been telegraphed to the French and British press. It seems but a half measure, after all; but perhaps the accounts yet to arrive by mail may show it in a more satisfactory light. It may be remembered that on the 6th ult. the British steamer Furious was sent with a flag of truce to Ode bring off the British ex-Consul and some seventy British subjects, The Russians refused to permit the steamer to enter the harbor, and, on her peered fired six or seven shots from the walls, and sent out some ships to chase her. The Furious escaped, and brought back to the fleet the report of the treatment she bad met with. This was on the 6th of April, and the next we hear of was the arrival on the 14th or 17th—for the accounts difer— jhips of the allied fleets. The last advices , received here per steamer Canada, were to ‘April 20th, at which date, although some English steam. ers were in sight, all was quiet ; consequently the ac- count in the papers, that the city was bombarded for ons hour, on the 18th, is manifestly incorrect. The following report addressed to the Miaister of Ma- rine and the Colonies, by Vice Admiral Hamelin, Com- mander-in-Chief of the French squadron in the Black Sea, seems to explain the attack described in our de- spatches:— Ox noann tHe Vitix pr Pants, In the Roads of Batsebi, April I ‘The English steam frigate Furious went on tl month to Odessa, to take on board th our countrymen as might desire to I hb of hostilities with Ru ind on AS er hb th: ort of the commander your Excellency will that in spite of the of trnee which she hoisted, and which her boat also ex- hi if Or iy d sine: It ia ry t he pi riod when the Dey of Algiers did the same thing to the vos- 0 revert to 1829, the ps- sel La ice, (and besides i joe—that is to rowed from s war with barb: Admiral Dundas and mys severe measures whica suc! this was @ ship.) to find « the example must be bor. hout to consider the proceeding may render ne cevear: ‘On ihe morning of the 94, nine steamers of the allied fleet took up a position before the forts that command the entrance to the harbor, and immediately commenced to throw bombs aad rockets upon the forts and the city. We haveas yet to glean our information from telegraphic scraps and flying ramors; consequently we do not know what ¢ preceded the bombardment— whether the British Admiral made any formal demand upon the city, which was refused, or whether the Russians at once acted upon the aggressive. Not unlikely both these circumstances occurred. One statement says that the bombardment was over in two hours; another that it continued incessantly for ten hours, ‘and only closed with the night. The Austrian official account, published at Vienna 30th, states as the result of action that ‘a battery of four guns was destroyed, and one Auctrian ship, (the Sta. Catherin,) and eight Russian merchant ships, in harbor, were burned.’’ ‘the Russian tel pie account is significant. It isin these terms:—‘ ish and French admirals de- manded the surrender of the Russian ships in the port of Odessa. This being refused, bombardment began from eighteen Lao Asmall part of the city is destroyed An attempt to land 1,800 men failed. The bombardment has produced no effect.’’ Three of the English steamers were badly damaged. A despatch to the London Daily News states that on the 224 a partial bombardment took place, but not much damage was done except setting some buildings on fire. On the 23d hostilities were suspended, and a summons was sent tothe place to surrender. In the event of a re- fusal, the Admirals—French and British—threatened to destroy the city on the succeedingday. On the 24th was It was further stated that the Russinn fleet the attack. sailed out of Sepastopol and advanced against the allied fleet, either of drawing the latter away ith the he 4 from Odessa or of getting it between two fires: but, on a portion of the British ships offering battle, the Russians withdrew to their stronghold. A private telegraphic despatch received from Odessa by aneminent Greek firm, and dated the 26th alt., states that the whole combined fleet took its departure on the morning of that La The Austrian Correspon has another account un- der date of Bucharest, April ‘The English and French admirals demanded the delive- ry of the Russian vessels at Odessa, On refusal, seven Ekree-deckers and sleven frigates bombarded the town on the 24th. ‘The Woronzoff palace is totally destroyed. Four frigates are severely lamaged. it continues. LATRST ACCOUNT. Prince Woronzoff’s palace at Odessa, was entirely de ai stroyed by the bombardment. A private dispatch states that the whole of the allied fleet left Odessa on the 26th, and was to cruise off Sebastopol to prevent the egress of the Rossians. Prussia has forbidden privateers to enter her harbor Small:pox had broken out on board the British ship Watt, and Sir Charles Napier has caused a number of the sailors-to be vaccinated, MOVEMENTS OF THE ENGLISH BALTIC FLEET. ! The British fleet had been further reinforced, and was awaiting the arrival of the French squadron, Until the latter arrives, a British force will cruise of the gulfs of Finland and Bothnia. On: the 21st ult., nineteen British ships anehered be- fore Stockholm. Admiral Napier arrived onthe 24th, and on the 25th had an audienco with King Oscar. He returned to the flect the same day. A depot of coal for the fleet is being formed at Fahroe- sund, on the island of Gothland. ‘A Russian: powder factory on the island of Cronstadt, and containing 60,000 pounds of powder, blew up and killed sixty operatives. No damage was done to tle fortress. ‘The Russian schooner Libertas, Captain. Rass, was taken by the British, and a prize crew was put on board to navigate the vessel to-England. Captain Raas, being acquainted with British tastes. supplicd his captors with an unlimited allowance of brandy. They got drunk; the Ruasians nailed them below hatches, and carried them as prisoners into Carlscrona. A strong note has been sent by France and Britain to the Senate of Lubec, calling the government of that city to account for having permitted the clearance of a cargo of sulphur to Russia, after the declaration of neutrality was issued. ‘A letter from an officer of the fleet, dated 18th of April, tells the following rather good story :— One morning, a few days since, we saw a large vessel eight or ten miles ahead, which we fully believed to be a Russian man-of-war, a3 she made all sail to get away, and showed no colors.’ As we rapidly came up with her, she took in sail until she was under reefed topsails, (fighting trim,) so we beat to quarters, and the pip sounded loudly, “hands, bring the ship into action ! For some three minutes everstbing was bastle, casting ‘the guns loose, clearing the decks, &c. Five minutes more, and every gun was shotted and primed, and the men standing with the match lines in their hands, wait- ing for the word to fire. Just as we got within good dis- tanos, the blackguard ran up American colors, and cocl- ly told us he would have hoisted them sooner, but he wanted to see how smart we would clear for action. If our tars did not bless him to the wrong side of heaven, never believe me. Several English war ships have had their crews vacci- natod at Elsinore. ‘The Admiral is off Cronstadt and Helsingfors, and is much undermanned, the capture of merchantmen hay- ing atill farther weakened him. ‘The weather was mild and favorable. OPERATIONS ON THE DANUBE. It was fully expected that the Russians would under- take important operations against Rustchuck, Nicopolis, and Rassova. No fears were entertained of the ability of Omer Pacha to maintain himself until the allies arrive. ‘The Turks from Kalefat have already occupiod Mugla- vit, Gunia, Pojana, and Palechti, und were expected to reacl. Xrajova on April 28 or 29. ians on the 24th of April evacuated their hos- zines at Krajova; Gen. Liprandi, with the i under his command, Was expected there on the 26th ultimo, and would leave on the 27th. The evacuation of Little Walachia by the Russians is complete, and was skilfully performed, the retreat being covered by a succession of unimportant yet harassing attacks ugon the Turkish positions. The retreat of the Russians of course rendered necessary a change in the Turkish front, and makes it no longer requisite to main- tain at Kalefat the 50,000 men and immense force of artil- lery hitherto mounted there. Part of the Turkish terce from Kalefat has therefore occupied Muglavit, &c., a8 above stated, and another portion is moving on more menaced points of the Danube, and in particuar on Lom, Rahova, and Rustchuk. By this change the army will be under the hand of Omer Pasha, who will be able to concentrate his whole strength, in case of necessity, to meet the new operations of the enemy. The right wing of the Russians will now probably rest on the river Aluta, with its headquarters at Bucharest, and the main interest of the campaign is once more con- centrated on the operations below Nicopolis, and. ¢s- pecially between Rustchuck and Silistria. Notwithstand- ing the accounts of the siege of this lutter fortress—seo next paragraph—there is still some reason to believe that the reported bombardment was confined ,to the fire of some heavy guns from the opposite bank of the Danube. SILISTRIA IN A STATE OF SIEGE. The important position of Silistria is closely invested, but atelegraphic despatch of date 26th says that, to that date, the fortress had suffered no damage. Accounts from Bucharest, April 19th, mention that Silistria had been bard preased since the 14th ultimo, and would ere then have fallen but for the determined valor of its defenders, who express themselves able to held out untébafd shall arrive. The Russians, on the contrary, expect to reduce the place in a few days. Mustapha Pacha has a strong garrison, but is said to be neither well victualled nor properly supplied with ammu- nition. ‘The ford is in the possession of the Ruasians, as the entrenchments at the junction of the Dris- tra, the Turks having retired within the defences. The Russians were expected to assault it on the Grst of May, with thirty thousand men. They have erected seventeen heavy batteries, under cover of which they will cross the river. The passage at Oltenitza is expected at the same time. Notwithstanding ail these formidable statements, we must not forget that Sillstria is too strong n position to be carried without a severe and perhaps a prolonged struggle. MANIFESTO OF THE CZAR. Sr. Perorspuxc, April 11, (23). By the grace of God, we, Nicholas the First, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, King of Poland, &e., &., to all our subjects make known, since the commence: ment of our differences with the Turkish government, we have solemnly announced to our faithful subjects that a sentiment of justice had alone induced us to re-establish the violated rights of the orthodox Christians, subjects of the Ottoman Porte. We have not sought, we do not seek, to make con- questa, nor to exercise in Turkey any supremacy what- ever, that might be likely to exceed that influence which belongs to Russia by virtue of existing treaties. At that period we already encountered distrust, then soon « covert hostility on the parts of the governments of France and England, who endeavore@to lead the Porte astray, by misrepresenting our intentions. Lastly, at this moment, England and France throw off the mask, regard our difference with Turkey as a mere secondary question, and no longer dissemble that their sole object is to weaken Russia, to tear from her a part of her pos- sessions. and to bring down our country from the power- ful position to which the hand of the Supreme Being had exalted it. Is it for orthodox Ru: to fear such threats? Ready to confound the audacity of the enemy, shall she swerve from the sacred purpose that has been as- signed to her by Divine Providence? No! Russia has not forgotten God! If is not for worldly interests that she has taken up arms: she combats for the Christian faith, for the defence of her co-religionists oppressed by implacable enemies. Let all Christendom know, then, that the thought of the Sovereign of Russia is also the thought that animates and inspires all the great family of the Russian bape —this orthodox people, faithful to God and to his only Son Jesus Christ our Redeemer. It is for the faith and for Christendom that we combat! God with us—who against us?

The Madrid press has hitherto abstained from ‘treating of the affair of the Black Warrior; but the Heraldo to day goes imto the whole history of the case, and puts forth what, considering its connections, is no doubt tho version of the Spanish government respecting it, and which has probably been set forth in an official note. It eaya that ‘the Black Warrior steamer arrived at Havana on the 28th February, and ite consignee applied at the Custom House for entry asin ballast, and presented a manifest in harmony with that deelaration, and subsequently applied for a permit to leave, repeat- ing the samo declaration, that the vessel was navi- ting in ballast; that on the steamer first enter- ing, and being visited om: casting anchor, an. oflicer of the preventive service delivered to the captain, and took a receipt for the same, the regulations of the port, in Spanish, English, and French, and that, not with- standing this, neither the captain nor the cousigner at- tempted, within the legal torm, to correct the fraudulent manifest which they had presented at frst, although it has since been falsely suid that they did so, but weir not allowed to alter it; that the head of the customa, before granting the permit to leave, ordered the vessel to be visited by the commander of carabineers, and that he should assure himself that there was nocargo on board, but that there were fount on board a great number of vales of cotton, which were being taken, as was «id, from Mobile to New York; and that the vessel was detain: ed, and a judicial process commenced againstit, because, in’ accord with the 190th article of the regulations, the captain had incurred the penalties Iaid down in the 1624 article. It then goes on to relate how the captain, opposing himself to the discharge of the cotton, ultimately aban- doned the vessel, and left, with all the crew; that the administrator of the Customs invited the consignee to appoint an agent to intervene in the discharge and do. posit, &c., of the cotton, and to fulfil the other indispen- sable formalities, but that this concession, which Was a maiter of pure grace, was not accepted; ‘that the con- signee addressed the Captain.General, confessing the fault committed, and attributing it to his ignorance of the usages and laws of the country, andasking asa favor that no higher duties might be demanded from him than what would be due from any vessel with » cargo mani- fested as in transit; that the Captain-General could not comply with this request, from respect to the law and the national dignity—the process, moreover, having com- meneod, and it being besides impossible that th could be ignorant of the rules after the papers giv and acknowledged by the captain, The Consul of the United States’ being respectfully requested to be present at the discharge of the cargo, refused, Stating that it was no part of his business to do so. The steamer, being thus abandoned, was placed undor the care of the commander of carbineers, and the cargo was discharged and placed in deposit in warchouses ceded for that purpose by the authorities. 957 bales of cotton were found on board—some without any mark; also lug- ge, and some other articles of traille, embarked at Mo- ile and at Havana (the latter of which could only have been done fraudulently) for New York. All the phases through which the process against the vessel proceeded are next recounted. ‘The tribunal of the intendency was authorized by the regulations in vigor to fix the fines ; but, at the proposal of the fiscal, the expe- diente was referred to the authorities, and uitimately submitted to a superior junta, of which the adiinis- trator and general visiter of Customs formed part, and which confirmed the declaration of forfeiture and fines, but left to the discretion of the Captain-General to mitigate the penalties, if he thought proper to do so. ‘The latter called on the fiscal to say what fine he ‘thought equitable to impose, and the fiscal stated it at ten thousand dollars, together with the expenses and costs of discharging. ‘The Captain-Genoral, however, reduced the fine to "$6,000, free of any other expense for discharging, &c.; and ‘on the 20th of March the consignee took charge of the vessel, having given security to be responsible for the fine, He subse- quently presented a petition, pray that the tine might ve further reduced, which being beyond the power of the Captain-General, the latter authorised him to address the rough himself, which has bee teful terms, that contrast strong- about he United of which have know the fortitude and Heraido conclud tional dignity. Black War: rior arrived at New York on the : ing as av idle report the statement of the tine having been protested against. It adds, that the Committee of Foreign Relations continues mute with respect to the President’s message. 1 need hardly observe that the above account of the af- fair, in which justice is ulleged to be so entirely on th: side of Spain, makes it impossible that the governmen* here can comply with the demands made uvon them. and which, if they have not already been rejected, will no doubt be 80 in due course. The article of the Heraldo, which J have given nearly at leugth, is doubtless intend- ed to influence public opinion preparatory to that course. [Correspondence of the London Times Mapxm, April 21, 1854. Mr. Soulé is reported to have said that the settlement of the dispute with the United States would be greatl facilitated by the dismissal of the present Ministry; and, although I by no means vouch for the truth of this re. port, and although such a suggestion from a foreign en- voy would be pretty sure, with «o haughty and jealous a people as the Spaniards, to defeat its own object, yet, should the dispute in question unfortunately lead to se” rious difficulties between the two countries, the early downfall of the Cabinet might be one of its earliest re- sults. Last night, in the saloon of an ex-Minister, an idle report, which obtained no credit, of hostilities being imminent between Spain and the United States, brought on a discussion as to the probable consequences of such a struggle, especially as regards the island of Cuba. Its garrison of upwards of 20,000 men, and the improve- ments that have been made in its fortifications since the attack of the filibusteros afford, in the opinion of Span- iards, a sufficient guarantee for the safety of that poases- sion in the event of war with the United States. The troops there are now armed with Minie rifles, instead of the wretched flint muskets upwards of twenty years old, which were their weapons at the time of ‘he pirati- cal attempt above referred to. ‘There are alvo Paix- han guns in the batteries of the island, and there is no reason to doubt that a stout defence would be made. But I incline to think that the Spaniards, although they may possibly not overrate their own military value and means of beret underrate the prowess of their anticipated enemfos. They justly enough observe that the successes of the Americans in their wars with the degenerate and undisciplined Mexi- cans are not to be taken a# an argument that they would be equally successful in anattack on Cuba, At the same time they hardly take sufficiently into consideration the tenacious valor of the Anglo-Saxon race, the expert rifle and treat- practice of the Americans, and their abun of wealth, that great clement of success in To any but Spaniards there can scarcely be a shadow of doubt as to the fate of Cuba in case of a war be- tween Spain and the States—supposing of course, non-interference on the of any powerful ally of the former country. At the same time, America would not escape undamaged in a contest with this comparatively feeble country. ‘The ocean would be quick- ly covered by privateers under Spanish colors, and Ameri- can commerce would suffer predily. And at the last mo- ment, when all hope was lost, I fully believe that Spain would emancipate the slaves, and abandm the island to them, soomer than see its darling possession—the ‘Queen of the Antilles” —fall an ‘ey and flourishing possession into the hands’ of the ambitions and encroaahing Republic which gives it 20 much uneasiness. 1 infer this, at least, from the tenor of conversation here, and I doubt not that the Spaniard«—their ingenuity stimulated by their defeat and spoliation—would find means to leave the island in such a state as would give the Americans a vast deal of trouble, even after the last European had quitted its shores. 7he more sensible men in this country admit that Cuta must, soomer or later, into the possession of the States; but they admit it with a ferling of in finite bitter- nest, and with a stubborn resolution that the change of own- ers shall occur as late as postiblo, and the prise be dearly Lought by the conquerors. WAR DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT—POSITION OF AUSTRIA TOWARDS SERVIA—RETURN OF DOCTOR GISBORNE AND HIS COADJUTORS TO ENGLAND—MORE RUS- SIAN PRIZES—-DEATH OF THE PORT MONTGOMERY — END OF THE PRESTON STRIKE. The proceedings in Parliament are totally without in- terest, except in so far as they give explanations of the ‘of the war. In answer to Lord Dudley Stuart, Lord John Russell replied that Servia had not been occu: pied by Austrian troops, nor had any arrangement been made for its occupation by Austria, which power had stipulated to abstain from such a measure, except in the event of the entrance of Russian troops into the territo- ry, or of a general insurrection of Servia. Mr. Cobden prefaced an inquiry, whether the government contem- lated laying before Parliament any papers relat- ing to the insurrection ef the k Christians in Turkey, by some severe comments upon the views and’ policy of both the British and Turkish overnments ia relation to the insurrection. Lord John Russell said that the British government hoped. shortly to lay before Parliament papers relating to this subject, and explanatory of the present relations of Britain with the Court of Athens, and he reiterated the statement he had made upon s former oveusion-—which later informa. tion, he aaid, confirmed—that the Greek government had been most active in fomenting the insurrection. The expulsion of subjects of Greece from Tarkey was a step which the Sultan was perfectly Reg ve to take. The creation of this civil war was, he observed, one of the consequences of the unjustifiable aggression on the part of Russia .which found scarcely an apologist anywhere, except, perhaps, with the honorable member, Mr. Cobden.
