Fagg pnd og ran” be teeenen et “= | it would time enough to discuss that subject ‘when a necessity for its consideration should arise. The Duke of Newcastiz, in explanation, said the bill was simply an enabling measure, under which the lature of Canada might constitute the Upper House in ‘any way they thought proper. ‘The bill was then read 4 second time. The interview at Tetschen between the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prassia and the King of Saxony, who joined the Kin of Prussia with Prince John of Saxony, at the railway station at Dresden, is still the great topic of the day with the confer- ence of the minor States at Bamberg. The first re- @ult appears to be the conviction that the good an- derstanding between Austria and Prussia is consoli- ated. It is also clear that Prussia has sent M. de Manteuffel to St. Peteraburg (brother of the prime Minister,) to support the Austrian summons for the ‘evacuation of the Principalities. But matters have Rone too far for the Western Powers to be satisfied now with a simple retrograde movement of Russia. I can assure you on undoubted authority, that Eng- land and France will not consent toa treaty for peace onthe basis of the statu quo ante. The minor States of Bamberg hive agreed to join in the Aus- ‘tro-Prussian treaty, but it seems they annex a con- dition—that simultaneously with the withdrawal of the Russian troops, the allied squadrons shall leave ‘the Baltic and Black seas, and the allied forces be te embarked. It is needless to say that such condi- ions will never be accepted. e Q@ne word respecting this Austro-Prassian treaty. It is nominally contracted to guarantee the safety of Germany, but it ia open to a much wider inter- pretation. It provides that any attack upon the German or non-German provinces of either State hail be regarded as an attack upon the common territory of both States. Jn other words, the treaty is directed against Poland, Hungary ard Lombardy. The army of the Germanic confederation of which the non German States do not form part, is 300,000 Streng. Itis therefore no small object for Austria to obtain the adhesion of the confederation to this ‘treaty. Should che ultimately find a pretext for throwing off the double-faced mask she now weara, and join Roasia, if not openly, at all events by refusing to act against her, and thus with Prussia becoming a shield, which might lead to a rupture with France and England, it is lear that one of the inevitable results would be a rising in Lombardy, Hungary and Poland. Now, if she can persuade all Germany to join her, the coalition would be a powerful one against the Western Powers. Russia, Austria, Prassia, and the rest of Germany, against England, France, Turkey, Sardinia, Sweden and Norway, Demark,and all the friends of liberty and haters of despots ia Europe. The preponderance of the naval powers, how- ever, must suffice to prevent Austria committing herself. However willing, she cannot pay the debt of Vilagos, which sealed the fate of poor Hungary. If Austria does join Russia, she would lose in a few weeks all her Italian provinces. A camp is being formed at Marseilles which in a few days could be landed at Genoa. The Sardinian army is 45,000 strong, and Sardinia has the best fleet (of the se- ‘condary powers) in“the Mediterranean, mounting 00 guns. The river Po alone separates Sardinia from Lombardy. I have often watched the sentries aa they paced to and fro on either side of the long bridge of boatse—one in the Austrian the other in the Piedmontese dress. The year 1848, and the campaign of Charles Albert, is not forgotten. The Ttaliare there lost a chance, and learned a lesson, Backed by an allied Anglo-French army, the Aus- trians would have to beat a hasty retreat into the ‘Tyrol. Austria is preparing for eventualities. A letter dated June 10, now on my table, from Turin, | saya:— The whoie of Lombardy bas been thrown into distress by the levy on the conscription of five years, to which I alluded in my last letter, and the enforcemont of a regala- tion introduced, I think, in 1849, precluding the possiotlity of purchasing substitutes. Twenty eight thousand men f eiahansBpecnabeee ae Re eartee from all olasoes of COMME ST wiih what loathing the Lombards and the Venetians regari the Austrian military service, you may imagine the effect roduced in this instance, Independent of the neceasity ‘or increaaing their army, there is no doubt that the ‘Austriang are desirous of having aa many hostages as possible, expecially from among the upper classes, for ‘the good bebavior ‘of the Lombardo Veneto. It is a fact worth notice that's very strongly entrenched camp is being made at Goito, where, as you may recol- lect, the Austrians received 80 severe acheck from the Piedmontese, under the lute General Bava, in the last ‘campaign. The state of feeling of the non-German provinces of Austria is, I think, the surest guarantee that _ she will not join the Russian autocrat. But the as are against us.” There is no news from the seat of war, either in the north or the south. The reported death of ‘Musaa Pacha, the gallant defender of Silistria, by a cannon ball, is contradicted in the Patrie. All the English troops have now left Constantinople. Res- chid Pacha has retired from office, on ground of ill health. His successor is Schekil Effendi. Kebresli Pacha is appointed Grand Vizier in the stead of Mustapha Pacha. Silistria still holds out, and the Russians are fall- ing back upon Jaasy. The telegraphic despatches which I subjoin contain the latest items of intelli- gence. Twelve hundred English troops have lauded at Athens. t The King of Prussia has again left Berlin; he has | gone on a tour to East Prussia. It is said, but offi- cially contradicted by the Prussian papers, that the | object of this trip was to meet the Emperor of Busia. es THE WAR IN EUROPE. THE SIEGE OF SILISTRIA—THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR. . {From the London Chronicle, June 17. It must be satisfactory to the inhabitants ot St. Petersburg to be assured, by the official Russian Jn- | length of their advance; but, valide, that the losses of the besieging army at Si- | listria, up to the 27th of May, consisted of only 13 men killed, besides 2 field officers, 68 wounded, and Ui contused. If the faculty of reason is silently ex- | ercised at the imperial capital, in the absence of all ‘opportunity for expressing its results, some sceptias may perhaps think it impossible that an investment of a great tortress, diversified by one regular assault, god interrupted by repeated sorties, should have merely involved about 100 casualties. Ag one of our correspondents remarks, the admitted josses of the Russians during the entire campaign only amount to | about 100 mcre. It is truly wonderful that so inval. | nerable an army should be content to remain for several months on a portion of the ground which it ori cone Op effects of the system of ruling an em if its inhabitants were children, are exempl! an anecdote recorded ina Swedish paper, which, if not true, is at least conceived in strict conformity with Russian precedent. It is stated | that the co: r of the fortress of Syeaborg | thas recently been imprisoned for life in consequence | of the diacovery of an ingenious fraud, whish he | must have practised for a considerable period. it #eems that this worthy officer had. sold all the can- non balls provided for the use of the batteries, and had lied their places with wooden sub- atitutes, so as to deceive the inspectors, ‘who must certainly, however, have had a share in pe as | ified by | the for the ammunition. The story may be false pe estgecraied, but there is no country of whi it could be told. When the government habitually publishes false- ‘hoods ao shameless as those which Me have quoted from the Rassian Invalide, subordinate fanctignaries can scarcely su) that they are expected to be ‘honest. The Rabpercr would wilinaly discounten- ance niary frauds from which he is himself the Py pal sufferer; but he appears not to understand close connection which exists between honesty in ect and trath in speech. The Russian troops re- quire no fiction to set off their undoubted courage; and,the steady fidelity of the thousands who have falten since the commencement of this wanton and iniquitous war surely deserves a better acknowledg- ment than the’ denial that any losa has been in- casred. According to the latest accounts from the seat of | war, the ih wing of the Turkish army content ‘to concentrate itself, by way of Nicopoli and Sis- town, on Ratschuk; and m that aunt by to quarters at would afford the means of effecting a | junction with Omer Pacha, unless it should been reviously occupied by the enemy. —-" iy probable, however, that Prince Gortacha- | Bence of a severe wound received by Prince Pag. | | Europe. | clared at Teschen that it was not in bis | with th joint a road | to celebrate with bis wife and the , who has now taken the command, in conse- | bas not allowed axiom bere still holds good—‘Those who are not for | MAY, already kiewitech, which has necessitated his removal to Jassy, would venture to detach ony ree portion of his force so far from the neighbor of Silistria ; for, if Se jam which covers the siege were se- | riously weakened, the Ottoman commander would | have ‘an opportunity of relieving the fortress ty attacking the invaders with the main body of troops. As it appears that the project of taki the place by storm has been definitively abandoned, | there is reason to hope that the defence may be con- tinued until a considerable allied force shall be fot t to co-operate with the right wing of the Turkis! army. The combined fleeta at Baltschik will be in a po- | sition to give effectual sid to any operation which may be undertaken; and there will probably be lit- tle diffculty in supplying a temporary garrison of marines for Varna, chould it be thought desirable to move all the available Ottoman forces into the in- terior. It is confidently stated that large reinforcements | are still crossing the Prath to strengthen the invad- ing army in Moldavia; but it must not be supposed that the fresh troops which may enter the province form an addition to the reported force of the enemy, as the reserves on the Bessarabian side of the fron- tier have alas been included in the estimates which haye en published. The movement of troops to the west is Deacireliy important as indicating the determination of the Russian go- vernment to remain in the Principalities. It is, in- deed, highly probable that, in answer to the recent summons from Vienna, vague promises will be held out of a future compliance with the demands of the neutral Powers; but Austria will no longer be satis- fied with empty and insincere phrases. It will not | be supposed that the Czar is fortifying Jassy for the benefit of its rightful government, or that he is mov- ing forward the reserves of his army as a prelimi- nary measure to a general retreat. The ultimate plan of the campaign will probably depend on the fate of Silistria; but, at present, it may safe! conjectured that Bucharest, even if it is not a doned, will form the most advanced point of enemy's pesition. The influence of England and France will, it may be hoped, be sufficient to avert the injurious conneliaeicen which might otherwise be appre- bended from the frequent changes of any at. Constantinople. The temporary triumph of Mus- tapha Pacha, in maintaining his son in the Embassy at , resulted in his own expulsion from office through the infiuence of Reschid Pacha. The Foreign Minister has, however, in his turn, been defeated by his rival, and his successor is a fol- lower of the late Grand Vizier. The name of Reschid Pacha ia better known in Eagland thaa that of any other Turkish statesman. During the long negotiation of last year, he displayed much discretion, and, above all, imperturbable patience; but since the commencement of the war, has been accused of want of ¢1 ; and his former anxiety to maintain peace has given his opponents opportunities for throwing doubts on his for the national cause. Until further information arrives, it will be difficult to anticipate the consequences of the recent ministerial change. The allies will, how- ever, undoubtedly insist on the maintenance of Omer Pacha in his command, and they will require the utmost official activity in the a. of the ar- mies, both in Et and Asia. ‘kib Pacha is thought to belon; the so-called war and his patron has ‘ays been considered frieudly to | D> | the the Danubian cémmander-in-chief.

Owing, however, to the wise and decided course which has been adopted, the diaturbances have bee conte within narrow limits, and peace is alreaty alma restored, whilst the noisiest opponents of a straight- forward and rational policy have of late been re- duced to silence. IMPORTANT MILITARY MOVEMENT. (¥rom the London Times, June at i Whatever be the next turnin the political rela- tions of the great Euro} powers to Russia, it observed that a military movement has taken place on the whole line of operations, which throws considerable light on the nature cf the second portion of this campaign. The Rus- sians had extended their line of operations in the winter from east to west, along the course of the Danube, and they occupied the whole of Wallachia, threatening to attack the extreme left of the Turks at Kalafat, and even to enter Servia, for the pur- | os of tarning the fortress of Widdin. The Turks | eld the fortresses of the Danube by a line of equal | extent, and the two armies retained this ition as long as Prince Gortachakoff had the chief com- mand. Upon the arrival of his superior in military rank, Prince Paskiewitsch,a movement commenced which is now almost completed. The Russians evacuated Little Wallachia, threw their extreme left into the Dobrudscha, concentrated their forces opposite the centre of the Turkish positions, and thus transformed their long line of operations, pa- rallel to the Danube for upwards of 200 miles, into column perpendicular to the course of that river. Prince Paskiewitsch has accordingly removed his headquarters from Bucharest to Jassy; an attempt | has even been made to sprround that place, which | is an open town, with field fortifications; and he seems to be more disposed to defend the lines of the Sereth and the Pruth than to threaten that of | the Danube. There may be political motives for this | alteration in the plan originally pursued against | Turkey by the Russian generals; there may be military objects in paberdeti the extreme | if the history of these movements were accurately atid Comp.ctely | known, we bave no doubt it would be found ! the great difficulty of the Russians is to obtain or convey supplies for @eir forces, and that, as they are excluded from the sea and have exhausted the southern part of the Principalities, they have no re- source but to fall back on Moldavia and their own | Besearabian frontier. The Austrian forces in Ga- | licia and Transylvania, although they have been collected in those provinces within a comparatively short space of time, are already embarrassed to find supplies without causing distress to the inhabitants, for the harvest of last year wus extremely scanty, the price of food is inordinately high, and the occu- pation of the Principalities by the Russians has cut off or consumed the produce of that granary of These facts must exercise’ a paramount influence upon the next movements*of the campaign, for, whatever the strength of an army or the skill of a fora May be, the subsistence of troops ia the ‘st consideration; and it appears to be acknow- ledged that neither Russians nor Austrians can long retain their yb ner positions. A temporizing answer from St. Petersburg to the Austrian sum- mons would, therefore, be extremely unwelcome; and it would be worse than idle to resume negotiations at the head of an army which is draining the resources of the country. There is reason to believe thatthe Emperor of Austria ~ ower remain where his forces now are, but that they must enter Moldavia if the question were not settled without farther delay. The great exertions made to bring up the Austrian troops, and the fact that the head-quarters of the army have just been ad- yanced from Cracow to Lemberg, indicate that with- po ich short time decisive events may be ex- pected in beg ea Such is the inference drawn throughout Germany from the attitude of the Court of Vienna, and from what has transpired of the Teschen conference. It is certain that the sovereigns who met on that oc- casion overruled the Viet of the minor Pow- ers at Bamberg to introduce fresh conditions into the oft rejected schemes of German mediation; Colonel Manteuffel was despatched to St. Peters- burg to support the last mission of Austria; and the a of Prussia found means to reconcile himself to his brother more speedily than had been antici- ted. The Prince of Prussia was induced return from Baden, partly to celebrate e rest of the royal family the auni- of a day of mourning, and partly eople of Prussia the 25th anniversary of his wedding, for these observances are held in much reverence in all rts of Germany. The Prussian public availed | hemeelves of this opportunity to mark with eathu- fies their reepect and affection for @ Prince who verrary A the ties of marriage or of personal intimacy to make him the pnppet ¢f a foreign court, | of Austria in Moldavia, must ay | own political future is perhaps \ her proxtun! | Delay | chances which the Turkish and European unpre- | tirm | for terms of a pacific arrangement, and, that there, as elsewhere, when an appeal is mmment to the nation to rise and to free the country from the ascendency of Russian ceuncils, Germany will reply with to that call. What is it but Rus- sian influence wi already deprives the Germans of freedom of speech and of will, and which assigns to them a part in the affairs of Europe 80 unworthy of their numbers, their intelligence, andtheir power? Jt was on the maintenance of that ascendency that the Era perce Nicholas relied when he contemptuons- ly dismissed the German Powers from his thoughts in dividing the spoils of the East; and now, by « fit retribution, Germany holds in her hands the balance of war, into which can throw the weight of half a million of soldiera. The reserves of the Prussian ar- my have not yet been called out, because that army is 80 popularly constituted that when the Landwebr is on foot, the nt must be prepared to throw iteelf without restraint upon the country; but measures have been silent!; conn 9k She BR n 00 to the present government of his brother; and on no other rms could he retain the confidence German people, THE POSITION OF AUSTRIA. {From the London Globe, June 16.) the fact, by abeaned in the correspondence of the i Igemeine ‘itung, that all the Austrian troops be- longing to col in Gallicia, or on their muich thither, have received orders to hasten their arrival at their destination by every pap means, by availing themselves of the facilities afforded b; railways and steamers, and marching day and nigh! It is farther stated that an engineer corps has been sent in all haste from Buds to Cronstadt, in Tran- sylvania, to cover by entrenchments the points of access into the province, southward of that town. That the Emperor Nicholas should venture to leave Poland hare of troops, in order to attack Austria oe and thereby effect a diversion from the attack which he apprebends bes bode iuiprobable, unless on the supposition that had previously assured himself of the treacherous neutrality of Prussia.

There cap be no question that pieeporeced as | represents prevailing public sentiment Roth as wellas in South Germany, and that the rupture of Rusaia with Austria must cut short the | hesitation of Prussia either one way or other. Her quite.as much at stake as the common cause of Europe. ° At the present conjuncture, # is curious, and not uninstructive, to look back for a moment at the mil- itary anticipations of Marshal Marmont, in a work ublished more than fifteen years back—supposing fu such a conjuncture to occur aa is now occurring. larmont, who wrote with a rather obvious Russian bias, but with considerable military clearsightedness, declared his opinion that all the chances were in fa- vor of the success of Russia, should she think itat any time, her interest to invade Turkey and possess her- self of Con:tantinople. Ho founded,that opinion on ity to Turkey [in the Crimea] on the winds and Currents being such as to facilitate the passage of ber armament—and lastly on what he conceived must be the policy necessity would impose on the Sultan. All these previsions favorable to Russia have been falsified pe regult of recent occurrences. But the exiled French Marshal saved his reputation for military foresight by the proviso that Russia should take possession before hostile allied forces could take the field. Precisely such au apprehen- s'or—the apprehension that a coup de main might be struck at Constantinople by the army of the Cri- mea, and the Sebastopol fleet—is understood to have been the motive of Colonel Rose’s application for the presence of the British fleet in the Tarkis! waters. The application was prudently not then complied with, and Russia abstained from trying to take the Turkish capital asa “material guarantee” for the success of the Menschikoff mission, which, like some other missions, a) to bea mission to pick a quarrel. Butif Marmont’s prevision was just, Russia missed her opportunity, by not striking a blow at once at the heart of the Turkish power. in doing her worst at once destroyed the paredness certainly at first gave her. I do not seek to disguise the fact, said the ‘late Marshal, that in representing the military advanta- ges to be in favor of the Russians, it is under the supposition that they are the first occupiers of Turkey. If a French or English fleet were to pass the straits of | the Dardanelles and arrive at Constantinople; and if, at the same time, s corps of 50,000 men of the alliance, Austrian or French, were to take up the position of ‘Adrianople, then the Russians would have immense diffi- ulties to overcome in diel gttheir enemies. t moment their fleet must return to Sebastopol—not again to quit it—and if they moved an army towards the Balkan, it would be exposed to great danger from the operations of an Austrian force, debouching either from ‘Transylvania and entering Bessarabia, or from Hungary, and marching into Servia, to take in reverse the army of Bulgaria. Marmont farther proceeded to reckon as adverse ossibilities to ia, that there might be opposed ‘0 her, in addition to the fleets of France and Eng- land and the Austrian military force, a numerous French corps, and perhaps also a Prussian army, “which last would undoubtedly have great influence on the question.” The combination above conjectured as remotely ino; is precisely that which events, and the ion or the Western Powers have partiy realised, and partly appear upon the point of re- alizing. SPEECH OF LORD vue RUSSELL ON THE A The Sheriff having declared that Lord John Rus- sell had been duly elected, his lordship advanced and spoke as follows:— Gentlemen, I shall proceed to that which is the absorbing question of the present day—so absorb- ing, indeed, that measures which I had hoped to forward for increasing and promoting the civil and religious rights of a large portion of my fellow- countrymen have been rather neglected than con- sidered, and have been withdrawn in deference to public opinion rather than Ned by Parliament: uy resistance. That great question to which I refer is the war in which we are en, d. (Cheers.) I will not now refer to that which has been discussed in debates with which Past are no doubt familiar— namely, the origin of it war. The present go- vernment endeavored as long as they could MS seek ntlemen, Thelieve that in so doing we were acting in ac- cordance with the opinions of the people of this The blessi of peace y forty were ry lightly thrown away, or precipitately abandoned. (Cheers.) It was not, therefore, until we found that the ambition of the Emperor of Russia was not to be satisfied with any moderate conceasion which the Saltan of Turkey was prepared to make—that we found a de- termination on part of the Emperor of Russia, in opposition to remonstrances—in opposition to proposals of every kind, to retain and keep in his power the territory of a neighbor, that we advised the Queen to declare that she felt herself obliged to take up arms in defence of her ally thus unjastly attacked. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, in that de- claration we had the co-operation and concert of her Majesty's ally, the Em of the French (renewed cheers), and I trust t! this concert, on a great ‘eevee will lead to @ permanent alliance with at great people our neighbors, who, with ourselves form the most civilized and enlight- ened nations in Europe. (Continued cheering.) We all know by experience the courage and spirit of the French nation, and I only trust that both na- tions will display in alliance those qualities which | we have hitherto displayed in conflict with each other. (Clreers.) But, gentlemen, there were applauded the tirmness | From | to France, they wonld have been absolute oppres- sion to the people of Germany. (Cheers.) Ac- cordingly the people of Germany have felt that this question could not be indifferent to them; and the peiaipel a of Europe, the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia, have sympathized with their people, and I trust that the war which we are about to carry on will be a war, not of two Powers, but of five Powers of Europe against the | Emperor of Russia. I know there were those who said, “ Don’t give assistance to the Turks.” They said so for various reasons and on various pretences. | Some said the Turks were a people so barbarous, and tbat their government was so bid, that we ought not to aid them. I have heard such an arga- ment used in former times, and I believe that the intention ofthat argument was, uot to blame the Taree. mot to mend their goverument, but to abet the designs of the Emperor of Roseia. It is easy to assert, and it is not for me to deny the faults, nay, the mal-administration, and in many instances the cruelties which exist under the government of Turkey; but this was not the time to discuss mea- sures for the reform and ied Stig of those fanits. The question was to it the ag; Ruesia, and [ have no doubt bat that if that ag- ion is successfully resisted, the improvement of kiah ivetitutions and the happiness of the Christian people vids bare the government of the Sultan of y follow from that resist- ance and from that success. On the other hand, if the Emperor of Russia were to succeed in his attempt, we must recollect that it would be the success of a vernment which endeavors to suppress ail free- om of thought, and to which neither political nor religious, nor any kind of liberty can look for en- Senals power banging over ‘urope, and, at leogih over Enrope, at len, attecking even our own institations, as incompati- «ble with the existence of the mouastrous lyranny which would then be established. (Loud cheers.) Well, now, Peay others say thatif the Turks had been left alone, have done better Ler dor themselves. Why, that isthe very wish of the mperor of Russia; he has constantly said, “This is po business of yours; don’t you interfere; only let the Sultan settle his own matters with me; let us have a iriendly conference together, and we shall no doubt come to a very amica- bie termination.” (Laughter.) Why, gentlemen, we thought that, the peror of Russia being much the strongest of the two, that amicable ter- mination could not but be injurious to Turkey, and we now find that the Turkiah government have most willingly accepted our aid, and that in in- stances which I could quote that aid has been most efficient. Gentlemen, | now proceed to the mode in which this war is to be carriedon. [A Voice— aright.) Let me remark, in the tirst place, that it waa observed by a member of the House of Commons, and most truly observed, when we were embarking in this war, that it was not a war in which we could expect those advantages which had attended in other wars, and that the conquests of islands, such, for instance, as Jamaica and Trinidad, were not to be achieved from a power like Russia. Indeed, there are none of the possessions of Russia which, I think, we should be disposed to accept, even if they were offered to us. Iam sure there are none which I am is more than Camperdown; but the victories by which they achieved their fame were victories achieved against an aa Hens came out into the open sea to meet them (cheers), and who in that fe encountered b) the valor and prowess of our ad- mirals and sailors. (Cheers.) We have now to | deal with an enemy who encloses his ships in walls batteries of guns, and who never ventures to meet Dundas or Napier in the open sea. (Cheers.) But if they should show themselves, I have no doubt those gallant admirals would be able, in naatical hrase, to give a Food account of these fleets. | tooud cheering.) at they may be able to ac- complish, as matters stand, it is not for me, it is not for any one of us to decide. All I know is, that we have given these commands to gallant and skilful | they will accomplish, and that they are worthy sons of England. (Loud cheers.) We, therefore, ought to rest satisfied that that which can -be accom- | Plished they will accomplish; and that that which they leave undone could not be done by human cou- Tage or-human skill. ( ) But, gentlemen, we have done that which hes not been dong usually in for- mer ware—ve have at the very commencement of the war sent aland army for the defenco of our ally. You all know that our military means are far infe- | | rior to those’of the great continental monarchies; that we do not call out our 80,000 or 100,000 men by conscription to swell the ranks of our armies; that our armies, therefore, are slowly raised, raise | by voluntary enrolment, and therefore, that we | never do sevd armies, nor do I think that the lovers | of the constitution would wish that we should send armies of 150,000 or 200,000 men into the field. (Hear, hear.) But even the army that we have sent has already been the means of troops being despatched to » Turkish fortress which was surren- dered in the last war tothe armies of Russia—I mean the fortress of Varna; and we have thus ena- bled the brave and able commander of the Turkish forces (loud cheers) to increase his army and to add a considerable reinforcement to that ' which I trust will enable him to cope with the Russians in the enterprises they are about to undertake. Now, pees, Thave said to you that I think it should be our endeavor to obtain a durable, a solid, and an honorable peace. (Cheers.) Ishould be guilty of the greatest pre- sumption—I should be guilty of a breach of the h | most solemn duty—if I were to say what are the inion of her Majesty’s gov-- | terms which, in ‘the ernment, would make that peace honorable, solid, and durable. That is a question not merely for her Majesty’s government, but it has to be decided along with the ally of her sty, the Emperor of the French. (Hear, hear.) with other Powers, if those Powers should, as I | hope, stand by our side in this conflict for the inde- | pendence of Europe (hear, hear); but, more than | that, the exact terms of that peace must depend | upon the fortune of war—must depend upon | the success with which we encounter the em- battled legions of Russia. My hope is that this | | ion of | d to covet. (Cheers.) But there | . We have all venerated the glo- | ries of Nelson, of St. Vincent, of Duncan, and of | fighting were | | of granite, who places them behind stone walls and | admirals; that all that gallantry and skill can do | it has to be concerted | | war will meet with the success which from its ob- | | ject and its motives it deserves; but this | I will say, that no insufficient peace ought to | be made (hear, hear); that we ought not tolay down | our arms until we haye obtained security for the | fature (loud cheers)—that having made the great | exertions which we have made—that having had our eyes opened to the designs of Russia, and the other nations of Europe having likewise had their oe mortals if we were to sign an insecure eace, which would leave it to our present enemy | bide his time until by the dissensions of the other Powers, Powers, he should find a better opportunity of ac- complishing his design. (Cheers.) Let us consi- der for a moment what that designis.

At about 4 P.M, on the 3d inst., I observed al (previously arranged) for the small arm men of her ci ships to land, which was Promptly obeyed. 8. I shortly received a message from Commander the Hon.

I advanced with the Encounter’s men to the apt facet d (the ae souney) which is within of our boundary, where a sharp firing was being maintained on either ide. de 5. Her Majesty's Consul and Vice-Consul was there; and at the former's requisition, aud quite in accordance with ,my own views, I det on at once acting on the offensive, and, having clearly ascertained the camp from which the aaron had been made, took it and burnt it, which, I am happy to say,! was effected without loss, as the oe retired the moment we opened fire upon em. 6. Commander Kelly, of the United States ship Plymouth, also landed his crew, and having ar- ranged with him for the protection of the settle- | ment during the night by means of strong patrols, the rest of the crews were re-embarked. 7. Her Majesty’s Consul deeming it advisable to take further steps for the security of the settle- ment, I suggested the taking possession of the Chi- nese fleet, and holding it until acamp, (whicn most unnecessarily has been pitched close to the boun- dary, and from which most wanton attacks have frequently been made,) was removed, and in this he conourred. 8. In accordance with the above, I sent the boats of the Grecian, with the pinnace of the Encounter, (commanded by Lieutenant Dew,) under the com- mand of Commander the Hon. G. D. Keane, to take possession of the junks, and bring them down un- der the Encounter’s , Which he effected mfost judiciously; and I @ this opportunity of stat that from him I received every assistance tha‘ adroitness and promptitnde conld afford. 9. I think it my duty to call your attention to the conduct of Lientenant Majendie, of her Majesty’s sloop Grecian, He was officer of the guard at time the aggression took place, and, on being sent for, repaired to the apt with ten marines, and there kept a considerable body of men at bay until reinforced; and I feel it due to Lieutenant H. Dew, first lieutenant of this ship, to mention the Aes tude and smartness with wich the crew of the En- counter were landed. Apvancep Post, SHANGHAE, April 5,1854. 10. Since the above was written, I have the honor further briefly to inform you that, at the request of Her Mojesty’s Consul, in accordance with the other Consnls, we have found it requisite to attack the imperial camps near our boundary, which have been most gallantly taken. Ihave not time to en- ter into details, as [ am writing this on the field. 11. The Imperialists have retired in considerable Terce (4,000 to 5,000 men) to the main camp.

Srr:—I received on the 22d your reports, dated on the 4th and Sth inst., written from the scene of action, Capea | the operations and a nat oe in which you been engaged up to the latest of thoge dates, and containing explanations of some of the circumstances which had led to the vory serious cellisious you describe, with the forces of an empire at a with her Majesty. On a fall review of those communications, it is my duty to point out that it belongs to the crown alone to declare war, and that the orders and in- structions.of the Admiralty prohibit the commission of acts of hostility towards the subjeets of foreign countries, and that naval officers will be held most strictly responsible for any departure from the line of duty thus marked out. In the particular case comprised in your reports, it is clear that the seizure of the Chinese camp3 and junks were acts of hostility against the public forces of a State not only at peace with the crown, but towards whom we are enjoined to show the utmost consideration. No such acts can he justified on the ound that they were recommended or called for y any consular officer, They can only be justified by the immediate and unavoidable necessities of your position at the time, and it tg by the proof you adduce of the existence of such necessities that the Admiralty will judge of the propriety of such a de- porture from its positive injunctions. Thave considered, as it is my. duty to do, the circumetances you relate, and I am bound to so knowledge that they appear to have been such aa to have left you no alternative consistent with the eatety of the- interests you hod been ordered te rotect, but to pursue the course you took upon the 0 and 4th inst.; but I must apprise you that, ia cases of this nature, it is not for me to pronounce a conclusive judgment. With respect to the measures you took foreffeot- ing the objects you had in view, supposing these to have been justifiable, I am at liberty to form a more decided opinion; and I have therefore to in‘orm you that your personal conduct, and that of the gallant captain, officers and men who co-operated with you from the Unitei States ship Plymouth, and the , conduct of Commauder Keane, and of Lieutenants | Dew, Hemstead, Majendie and Mon! omery, and of the seamen and marines and gentlemen volun- teers engaged on the occasion referred to, has eli- cited my warmest admiration; and [shall take am eppauserity, to bring to the notice of the Admiralty the names of the officers you particularly mention, and of the 10 marines who go resolutely withstood the attacks of a very superior force upon the 3d ef the month.
