This explanation was not to any one but Layard, who forth- ‘with withdrew his threatened motion. This is not ‘the first time that Mr. Layard has been guilty of this “triok. The truth is he is a place hunter, like the Marquis of Clanrisarde, and resorts to alternate bul- lying and being complaisant to the Ministry to obtain his object. His conduct has excited gen- eral disgust. The Russians are walking out of the Danubian Prinoipalities and the Austrians are walking into it, No eme cam understand this move, unless itis a «concocted plea between Russia ana Austria. When ‘tue Austrians were wanted in the Principalities to saasist the Turks, they refused to enter, but now the “Turks have driven out the Russians, the Austrians are encumbering the Ottoman power with help. ‘What Engiand and France could have been abou’ to have euffered such an eventuality to happen as that of the Austrians entering the Principalities, when not wanted there, noone can tell.

The Ras- siana are now retiring en masse behind the Proth, ond it is decided that the Austrian troops shall take possession of Wallachia. It is impossible to overrate the importance of this thew phase in the Eastern difficulty. In the famous days of the Parthians their most deadly arrows -were shot in retreat; and it is ‘possible that the Czar, in his present retrograde movement, may more effectually have embarrassed his enemies than if some brilliant success had attended his arms. The ostensible plea on the part of Russia is defer- ence to the opinions and wishes of Austria; but the substantial reason is to be found in the fact that Omer Pacha was on the point of marching with a strong division against the besiegers. The arrange- ment was that this division, separated into three parts, strongly supported by the Anglo-French sarmy, should attack the besiegers simultaneously on three points, This plan, by some means, became witsch, who, in consequence, crdered his troops to withdraw from the right bank of the Lower Danube. But will this retreat serve the Czar’s purpose by detaching Austria? This is the question in every one’s mind.

But it is not without interest to point out the conclusion, evident to us, that if the Emperor of Russia retires, it is not in obe- dience to any diplomatic consideration, but because his position was no longer tenable, and that he found him- self on the eve of having neither soldiers nor generals in the Principalities.

On the 15th this city was thrown in commotion by the beating of drums, mustering of troops, and calling out of the militia. The government had re- ceived intelligence that successfal revolutionary movements had taken place simultaneously at Va- lencia and La Victoria, and that a large force h@ advanced to Las Lajas, distant about thirty miks from this city. A force was immediately despatch: ed to hold them in check, and after an absence of forty-eight hours they returned with eight prisoner § who proved to be some unfortunate geones they had. Picked up en route, whose only fault was having been found at the place where the revolutionary army was said to be stationed. The eight men “in buckram” were duly paraded through the principal atreeta, for the purpose of provibg that a revolution had taken place and that the government troops had been victorious. The sequel of this bloody drama will in all probability be a revolutionary movement agsinst the purses of the Oligarcas, in the shape of a forced Joan of a hundred or two thou sand dollars, to pey the expenses of the camipaign —i. ¢. to be divided among the authors of the revo tution, that is to sey, Monagas and. his ministers who for the last month have done little busi- ness, owing to the exhausted of the A Aan tener See temngp eo tbe 9 from the liberation of slaves.
