Ministerial Explanations—Lord Aberdecn's De- fence and Apology—Layard Demands Impeach- ‘ment of Aberdeen— Aberdeen tries to take the Bull Ofe Nineveh by the Horns—Sceret Understanding Between Austriaand Russia—The Russians Re treat Across the Pruth— Triumph of Turkey—The Baltic—The Combined Fleets Before Cronstadt— The Austrian Treaty with Turkey—Rumored Re- signation of Aberdeen— Spain, &c. ‘The very Russian speech of Lord Aberdeen in the Honee of Lords on the 19th, when Lord Lyndhurst Originated a debate on the Eastern question, and in which the Prime Minister styled the war against Roseia “a defensive war,” has created the greatest | @ensation not only throughout England buat all over ‘he Continent. It was even thought that Lord Aber- doen would have to resign. In the House of Com- ‘mons on Friday last, Mr. Layard, who makes it his @uty to lead every attack against the Aberdeen Cabi- net, gave notice that on Thursday next (the 29th | instant,) he should prepose a resolution to the fol- | lowing effect: —That in the opinion of this hous® the | language held by the tirst minister of the Crown is | Caloulated to raise grave doubts as to the objects and ends of the war, and to lessen the prospect of a @urable and honorable peace.” This announcement pf an impeachment of the government was received with applause. The government was alarmed, the pulllic press, including the two ministerial organs, Chromede and Times, blamed the Premier's speech, Gnd the noble earl announced on the same night, in the Lords, that on Monday (yesterday) he would give explanations. In consequence of that announcement the House of Lords was crowded last night. You will have re- Ceived the details of the Premier's explanations | through the regular sources, I leave you to judge iif the Finglish people are likely to deem it satis- factory. To me it appears forced and jesuitical. I rather think that Austria is aware, beforehand, | ‘that the Russians will retire beyond the Pruth, and Bhe will manage to advance 89 slowly, that no con- | Mict will arise. In fact, Russia has been so severely | manled that she is obliged to retire, as I informed | you im my last. The Austrian note sent to St. Pe- | tersburg was couched in very moderate terms; in fact, it was friendly advice to Nicholas td retire. However reluctant to act against Russia, Austria is ompelled, toa certain extent, to do so, on the prin- wiple of self-preservation. There are various ru- tors that Russia bas declined to follow the advice | of Austria, and is concentrating troops on the Aus- | sian frontier. My firm conviction is, that Austria and Russia are on the most friendly terms, and the ‘various steps taken by either power concerted ami- Cably between them. Russia is too hard pushed to visk a quarrel with the German powers, and must Consequently make such concessions as they may deem necessary, under the circumstances. The King of Prussia Lay gone to Stettin and Ko- Digeburg. The official Berlin journals deny that he bas = there to have an interview with the Czar, | but anticipatory denial reminds one of the old | Frenoh proverb: “Qui s’ excuse s’ accuse.” Rothschild not having succeeded in négotiatin the loan of thirty millions dollars, has left Berlin,and | the Prussian goverument has opened a volunta- | ry subscription at the Berlin Bourse for fifteen mil- lion dollars at 4} percent at 94, with 1 per cent commission. Aithongh the reply of the Czar to the proposition ‘of Austria and Prussia has not as yet been received, ‘there can be no doubt that the Russians will leave the Turkish territory, aud in quick time too—but not | wut of esteem to Austria, but to save thelr skins. | #ingie handed the furks bave beaten the Russian just played. ‘As for France, she will do her part for midable rival in Diogenes. The aggressor, and 60,000 English and French bayonets ‘re now with them to consolidate their victory with- out sharing in the glory already achieved. | No further operations have taken place in the Baltic. We learn that the combined squadron had | led in sight of Cronstadt, whether to | that Russian stronghold, or simply to re- Connoitre, is not known. } The line of defence of the Rassians is the Gulf of land, Cano or Sweaborg in. the north, Revel in | , and Cronstadt in the centre, forming a crescent. At the Sweaborg extremity of the @ strong detachment of the Russian the chief portion, divided into two @quadrons, is at anchor in Cronstadt roads, ready | 2o give battle. Revel, which is situated at the south- em een this line, is defended by a stron, whole coast is lined with maske: and other batteries, and troops are concentrated in reat numbers, which concentration increases to- ‘Wards the capital. As regards the occupation of the Danubian Prin- eipalities by Austria, nothing further bas transpired. tions wiil be asked and doubtless given. | following, according to tha Indépendance of Brussels, are the exsentia! points of the conven- | ed on the 14th at Constantipopie, for the ion of the Danubian provinces by Austrian | : If the reply of the Russian cabinet be negative, the Kustrian army will be ready to immediately carry’ into @recution the threat contained in the summons, by on- dering the Principalities by the left ban* of the Danube. ‘The Porte permits it, and Austria engages to do it. | Bach is the general spirit of tho treaty.

If this is the case, and the auto: erat has found that his time is not yet como fu ‘pomession of Constantinople, a most important tion has arisen. Will England and France stop gwar, and allow Russia to commence her oppre oo Turkey at some future time with the same ady.n- Sages that she possesed a twelvemonth age, or will ‘the Western Powers punish the Czar for disturbing Bhe peace, and demand bail for his good behavior in Pature? No one in England but Aberdeen, the Pre Inier, believes in the good ‘aith of the Emperor of Raven. Has the English government, then, suff slent Renee and manliness, and the English people suffl- elent plack, to pay for pushing onthe war? Will Cronstadt and St. Petersburg be destroye!, the (Crimes given to the Turks, and evry Russian ship os £ or bia successor, will ture day that be Lag . | son of a schoolmaster, projected her own advantage, there is no doubt. By the by, John Bull has been scratobing his thick head lately, and asking himse!f a few questions about France and its fearfully astute ruler, Louis Napoleon, as to the Russian war business, John half believes that senile absolutist Aberdeen was, and is, adverse to the war, on account of his love for absolutism and his fear and hatred of democracy, and that many members of tne government and of the English aristocracy think and feel like him; but John has been going back to the origin of the quar- rel about Tprkey, and the result of it, as far as re- gards the fate of England and France. It was, no doubt, vitally important that Russian ambition should be checked and punished; but in effecting that, will there not arise a more formidable foe to England than Russia ever could be? To come tothe point, John Bull is staring now with his goggle eyes, and trying to shrug his brawny shoulders, while in- quiting whether France, having got into Constanti- nople, will be in a hurry to get out again; whether, in fact, she will not do the same as she did at Rome, She has now virtually got possession of Rome, Greece, Constantinople and Gallipoli for her troops, more than treble those of the English in Greece, and more than double thore in Turkey. Aud in holdiag Constantinople, she has the Dardanelles, and can make the Black Sea a French lake. In commanding Greece, she can get a hardy rece of sailors and rule the Mediterranean. In a word, she will have pre- cisely the advantages that Russia was striving after, and which England so much dreaded. No one need be told how infinitely more dangerous to England France canbe than Russia. “Bat it may be said England will make war upon France if the latter attempts a footing in Constantinople. Granted. And there will shortly bea camp at St. Omer of 100,000 men, ready to cross over the British channel the very instant that England declares war. John | Bull is, or will be by and by, in a regular fix. It must be remembered that Louis Napoleon origin- ated the quarrel between the Czar and the Sultan, by obtaining from the latter some advantages over the former relative to the Holy Places. Did he cal- culate on Nicholas invading Turkey when he ob- tained those advantages? Kossuth is at work again, astounding the Eag'ish statesmen and aristocracy, by proclaiming in burning eloquence their treachery and shortsightedness in suffering Poland, Hungary and Italy to be destroyed. Their hatred to democracy and republicanism have now inflicted a bloody and expensive war on their | country with Ru:sia, and will enable the wily | Louis Napoleon, perhaps, to obtain by i oes what his uncle could not get by the most brilliant feats of arms, viz., the paramount ascendancy of | France in Europe. The present Emperor of France's | motto is, ‘‘ Stratagem is better thau force.” Kossuth, and some Italian books that have been ublisbed, have shown what a thorough absolutist | almerston is, It appears that he treated the en- voys of Kossuth and Mazzini with the most brutal contempt and arrogance. It is astonishing how English people are led away at times, and how | loath they are to alter the opinion they nave once formed, or open their eyes to the most obvious facts. Because Palmerston has been ill-treated by the Times newspaper, which has a private gradge | against him, Englishmen will believe nothing to | his disadvantage. He bas been the greatest enemy to democracy in England, and has done more harm | to it than any man living. He occasionally snubbed | Austria and circumvented [hiers and fouls Phi- lippe, but he has never spoken one word, or done | the least thing in his power, to succor liberalism in | Europe. All this is known to the shrewdest and best informed men in England; yet no one dares say the least word sping him, and he is suffered | to browbeat some of the ablest men, such as Bright | and Cobden, in the House of Commons. say his manner is so pleasing. He, it ap) » | “smiles, and murders while he smiles,” bnt what is | this but proclaiming the jackasism of the people's | cepreueinaaes, in allowing their judgments to be | led away by bonhommie? David Urquhart has for years past proclaimed Palmerston a traitor to liberalism, and proved him to hese pared into the hands of Russia; yet he is hooted down like a mad dog for saying thése things. It will be scarcely credited by those who get their information from the English newspapers, that Ur- quhart is a most conscientious and honorable man, People | | | quite independent of place and pay, and of very | great abilities. The people of pond. are, how- | ever, opening their eyes. Palmerston has attempted, | by a new Police bill, to introduce a giguntie system | of centralization, by which local seif-goverament | would be destroyed. “The municipal bodies through- | out the country have taken the alarm, and com- pelled him to withdraw the bill, but they canuct | tsi a believe avy harm of their idol; they think, forsooth, that he has been made the catspaw SEs government, or that he has got into his | jutage. } The Leader newspaper, one of the best in Eng- | land, bas been publishing some sketches of the En; lish governing classes, and showing that the old | aristocracy has become ¢/fete—that is, like the Aztec race of the New World, become imbe- | | cile, and worshipped, with almost divine honors, | | for what it has been, not for what it is. The the Western alliance shook hands with the Czar | nobility of England fill every place of importance in the beeen and they pay, wi get all the credit and ile men of greater abili , but inferior rank, | consent to do the work and labor in subordinate ca- , have been, as a people, pacities. Take a case in poiot:—Rowland Hill, the the penny postage plan. Colonel pei for twenty yeara the Secretary to the English Post Office and aman of considerable ability, has been obli to turo out to make way for Hill, in order that the lat- ter may carry out his plan. One would have thought that under the circumstances Rowland Hill would be placed at the head of the Post Office Department —not a bit of it. He works under Lord Canning, a yain and conceited nobleman, who, merely because he is a lord, geta ten thousand dollars a year salary, and patronage worth forty thousand dollars a year more as Postmaster-General. Rowland Hill does every- thing in Lord Canning’s name. Inevery instruction he issues or letter he writes, he says he js command- ed by “ my lord the Postmaster-General, &c., &c.;"" and this is the system adopted through every govern- ment department in Eugland. The despatches that are published in the name of noble premiers, presi- dents and secretaries, are generally composed by men who live aud die in obscurity. Their names, even, are never known. Where there is one noble man in office who isa man of talent there are a dozen muffs. Their very speeches in Parliament are vampeé up by the reporters, for if reported verbatim they would disgrace a pot-house debating club, And this the Eagtish people submit to year after year. This is the natural consequenve of an he- reditary aristocracy. The government ia in the hands of a few dukes, such as the Dakes of Bedford, Devonshjre, Rutland, Newcastle and Richmond, and they delegate it to the Rassells, Greys, Blliots, Gra- hams, Stanleys, &c. It is only now and then that | they admit a commoner, such a3 Macauley or Dis- raeli, into their clique. The English people are, however, beginning to see the humbug of aristocracy, and even of royalty. This is evident trom the nervous anxiety of the cabi- net to stand well with the people. A short time since the London Daily News accused Prince Albert of interfering with the government departments, and people were Legiuning to be uproarious again Ori th cunt. Royalty was i unpopularity, and the were ordered to nre both houses of Pi ment, | and through them the pation, that there was no truth in the accusation. Royalty has truly fatlen upon evil times. Personal esty is all that cau be wisbed; but kings and q unless they can | exercise arbitrary power, are ves; and English- men will nbt for many years longer continue to pay for the barbaric pomp that bolsters up a shadow. | This will be very manifest bye and bye when the royal princes and princesses grow up and kaye to be quartered separately on the nation. The honor and houesty of the English tradesman, | and even merchant, are declining. The frightful com: tition that exists in England, and the insane crav- | Ine after wealth to ape the aristocracy, among the middle classes, induce the latter to descend to prac- tices of which their forefathers would have a ashamed. Everything a person pars is spurious and adulterated, aye, poisenously adulterated. The re tail tradesman is cheated by the wholesale trades man and merchant, and is obliged to weigh and measure everything he buys, and to cheat the public in return. Englishmen laogh a the cuteness and sharp practice of the Yaukee, and at his love for the rg an Let them puil the of their beams out own eyes Napoleon the Great once said that the £5 n were a nation of shopkeepers, If he were they were a nation of living now he would say cheats. This is strong Linguiee, bet all persons acquainted with the arcaninm of English society know that it is true.

The Eastern question was brought on in | the Lords by Lord Lyndburst, who is the son of | Copley, the American painter. Lyndhurst is the greatest of living orstors. He showed the Emperor | of Russia to be the greatest criminal an} pest that | ever.polluted the earth. Aberdeen’s speech was full of “peace at any price.” Austria has now joined | the Western Powers, evidently to break the fall of tre | Czar now fortune bas turned against him, and to | prevent Russia from being partitioned, because if | the partitioning process goes on there isno knowin s | where it will stop.

Panis, June 22, 1854, Effect of Lord Lyndhurst’s Speech in the Politi- cal Circles of Pavis—Mussa Pacha—Sir George Grey's Speech to his Constituents—The Real Work of the Allies not yet Begun— Melodramatic Incident on Beard the Tiger—The Weather in France—Fearful Storm at Toulouse—Wholesale Poisoning——Paris Gossip, §c. The speech of Lord Lyndhurst in the British Parliament, on the 20th, has been seized with avidity by the press of France. There is not a journal, from M. Girardin’s down to the most insiz- nificant local paper, that has not transcribed it into | its columns, and made “the welkin ring” with its laudatory commendations. Since the publication of Sir Hamilton Seymour's secret letters, nothing so 4 interesting has appeared. In these, the designs of the Czar were mapped out to the uninstructed eye, like the colored divisions of a school-chart, and in | Lord Lyndhurst's admirable exposition they stand forth in that bold relief which only results from the work of a masterhand. The Great ex-Chancellor of England—an American by birth—the most elo- quent Judge that ever wore the judicial ermine— the coadjutor of England’s greatest statesmen for half a century—speaks with a voice of authority which is acknowledged every whit as much on this side the British channel as on the other; and on this occasion it sounds like the voice of a trumpet throughout the length end breadth of the land Naturally, there is something especially attractive in the Parliamentary form of intelligence—as we read, we feel as if we were part of the council-board and the spee@h were addressed to ourselves indivi. dually; and now that no stirring sound is heard from their own Parliamentary walls—no thoughts that breathe, no words that burn—the French iaake the most of such foreign articles as seem suited to th ir use. The address of Sir G. Grey, the new Colonial Secretary, to his constituents, had been read here with intense disgust. The tone of that address, coupled with an opinion that Lord Aberdeen took a similar view, seemed to be, that the sooner, after ail, the better; and Lord Lyndharst’s plain speaking was just what was wanted to bring public feeling here into good humor again. The Freach ai we low, very slow, to full the policy of the war, but having gone so far and made such sacrifices, if we sre now to leave the matter purely in German hands, we are ee poataly our- selves to all surts of casualties hereafter. Let Russia, if she will evacuate th Principalities—letAustcia,un- der covenant, oceupy them-—bat France will never be satisfied with such a stalus guo ante bellum. And when Lord Lyndhurst appropriates the Russian term of “material guarantees,” be coald not hitupon a mode of eeasoning his discourse move thoroughly acceptable to this side the Channel. “ Phe occupation of the Danubian provinces by tria, while guarantecing the Turkish empire ta fresh invasion from Russia,” remarks tuat mi-efficial journal, the Pays, “ would ensure to the oiber allies of Turkey the full liberty of their movements in the Black Sea and on the coasts of Crimea avd of Cirengsia, at the same time that it would open to Germany and to the west the free navigation ofthe Danube. It is, without doubt, in view of these great results that Austria has applied for authorization to enter the Principalities,” &c., Ac!" And Lord Clarendon’s answer to Lord Lyndhurst, leaves no reasonable doubt that a secret understanding has been come to with Austria, that her policy is to be, for the future, that of the West- ern Allixnee, only “appearances must be saved.” The question, however, arises, when all is done— Moldavia and Wallachia vacated, Sebastopol, if you will, and the Crimea invested—who will f i sia into her recesses?

French Distrust of Austrian Sincerity—Her Oceu- pation of the Principalities Viewed with Suspi- cion—Resignation of M. de Persigny—The French Press—Louis Napoleon's Higher Quali- ties—His Admirable Temper and Constancy in Friendship—A Tableau at St. Cloud—The Thea- tres, &e. It is proper that I should inform you that the no- tion of Austria possessing herself, under any stipu- Jation whatever, of the Danubian Provinces is high- ly distasteful to the public mind. The part which that Power has played in the great drama which has been enacting before the world now almost for | eighteen montbs, is considered not such as should | unless this affair be managed with more tact, Louis Napoleon may find a host of hot prejudices spring- ing up, which may be more than his akill, great asit is, can allay. “Austria,” saya the Journal des Débats, | the most cautious and grave of all the journals of France, “excels, as is well known, in these rare and solemn occasions, in which the interests of Burope are being regulated by great acts. This was always the triumph and glory of Austrian diplomacy. She asks nothing for herself ; she has but one desiro— that of calming, placing in equilibrium the preten- | sions of others—but, after all, we see that, in de- spite of her innocence, the best part always belongs to her.” A Council of Ministers, at which the Emperor presided, was held on Saturday at the Palace of | St. Cloud. On the same day his Majesty received at a private audience, M. Mavrocordato, Envoy Ex- traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Greece, who desired to take leave before proceeding to Greece, where he is about to fill the bai of. preainenk of ~ Lehre Feo AE resignation of M. de Persigny, ister | of the Interior, which has jaat comedy has taken \ BO person by surprise, nor produced any emotion in | the tranquil current of domestic policy. «in fact, this resiguution has been long contemplated, and ‘would have been made some weeks since, but for the | | on the Austrian Court and Cabinet, after the very | recent experience how little consideration the Czar necessary delays in preparing the species of finan- cial manifesto which was last fweek plished in the Moniteur, and which gave so graphic a resuiné of the internal affairs of the empire, finan- each other what they can so long have deen dream- ing about, not to have themselves ages ago 7 n tl docnment, among other thin, and it must have re- quired no little share of official courage to have made it—was a statement to the effect that the press of France had never been in a state so satisfactory; that never had its lan, been so grave, dignifi and patriotic—that while it was debarred from the discussion of no matters of interest, prosecutions were now nnheard of. Une petite avertissement-— just a tipy lite warning—no bigger than a pia’s eed, indicative of its approaching annihilation, had tranquillity of ali parties. The press gives a proof of the pe of M. de Persiguy’s reflections by “opening pot its mouth;” and so that personage goes ont of office with drums beating and co- lore ying. The Emperor, in a public manifesto, attests his regret that failing health should deprive kim of those inestimable services which, creates him Grand Officer of the of Honor, laments bis refusal to bold the office of minister without a folio, and conclades by expressing a hope tbat his speedy restoration to health may soon enable him to sender him his services again. Mr. Billeault, for three President of the Council, is appointed Minister-of the Interior. M. de Persigny is, in fact, wne tres bonne personne, un pouvis, acmporté. He belongs to that class of hu- manity which. with all its faults, isa noble speci- men of men, but which, its warmest edmirers ad- mit, is better known by its qualities of heart than hea Under a regular Parliamentary régime-- like that of the United States or Great Britain—he could not have sustaived himself in office an hour; apd even the faint image of the thing, as it exists now in France, is too much for him. He blunders, and his benighted vision eeals the blunders from his eye, even when they are palpable to all the werld; while the natural animation of his cha- racter, and the warmth of his heart, whica could render personal immolation for the defence , of Lis Ewperor to him a comparatively trivial sacri- fice, make tim impatient of confradiction, uncon- cifiatory in Lis deportment to his colleagues, and ) brusque to those who repair to him for counsel or ax sistance, “Hine iele lacryme;” and for some tine there has been anger and ili blood at the council _ board, avd Napoleon, whose kindness of heart and it nal phlegm bave enabled him to ride over difficulties of the same natare, has been at | last constr: ined to accept the resignation of his most devoted follower.

Wh the form in the Czar thinks fit to express that fact is that of “high consideration for Austria,” signifies, we rare very little. It could only become important, if the Power complimented could be the dupe of such liments; and that bility ruight form a very sufficient Russian mo- ive to make a virtue of necessity, and turn diseases to commodity. It is inconceivable, however, that any professions from that quarter should bave the slightest influence was disposed to show to the moat urgent unenforced representations from Austria. If his bigh considera- tion is now expressed for that Power, nothing can ke suggested by that phrase but that—as the nt exigency ext the expression— future. and harder exigencies must be experienced by the arms and policy, before any practical value can be at- tached to it, as annonncing the surrender of “ma- terial guarantees” for the future of Europe, by the Power whose arrogance and ambition have .¢ ovcasioned that peace to be broken. Austria knows well it her present relations towards Western Europe alone compel Russian ‘ considera- tion, ” and can alone engure it. It is in alliance with France and ae ey only that the vital objects of her own security, and her own commerce, can be realised in the results of this contest. ‘The evertts of 1853 threw Austria into a position towards Russia curiously and closely analogous to that in which those 1813 threw ber towards France, under the first Napoleon; and there is every reason hitherto to believe that she now understands, as she then understood, her advantage, and the scale in which she can glone safely throw her sword. The first Emperor of the French fondiy imagined her family alliance with him mast then tie her hands, as the Emperor Nicholas probably as fondly Goagined Jast year that her equivocal o} gee tions’ to on the side of Hungary must tie her hands now. But in whatever quarter might be mis- taken the course enjoined by the imperative force of cireumstances, and the clear dictates of patriotic statesmanship, we may be sure they are not mia- taken by that veteran statesman, who, in 1813, sya- taived unmoved the imperial indignation of Napo- Jeon at Dreeden, and whose aged coutisels are little likely to inspire into generation which yet tens to them any disposition to lean towaras sia, now. Forty years ago the errors of the it con- queror, ‘end had made Austria pay the prive of ha- miliation for his alliance, enabled her, at the .criti- cal point of time, to throw a decisive weight into the scale hostile to Napoleon. The not less errors of the much less invader who vexes Europe now, have given Austria a closely perk} opportunity, and have indeed imposed on ‘a closely parallel ve. M. Kossuth mod ery out upon her treachery and ingratitude at either epoch; others may extol her unfooked-for vigor; we content ourselves with Posting out the fact that the irresistible course of ings dictates to Austria a decided and decisive course at the present, as it did at the former crisis. France now takes that part in the common interest of European independence which the error of France. then threw in the hands of Russia; Austria, now as then, must cast in her lot with ore or the other col- loseal combatants.

It appears that the Dannt- | less has got something defective in her ma- chinery. She has on several occasions, in critical positions close to Sweaborg, refused to move in any divection, thus rendering her liable to captare, if a sortie was made by the enemy while she was in- duiging in one of those sulky fits.
