HERALD. PRICE TWO CENTS. the evacuation of the Turkish waters by vessels of war, and for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Turkish territory, an English fleet rides at anchor in the Bosphorus,and Austrian troops occupy the Principalities of the Danube. The ground for this is, that Russia has not fulfilled her part of the stipulations. This is very clearly stated by the organ of the Austrian government. It says:— It Js now time thas we should make good the contra- diotion which we gave to the assertion ofthe Frouch pa- pers that the Porte bad protested against the longer stay of the imperial royal Austrian forces im the Danubian Pripeipalities. A Paris journal recently repiied to our contradiction in the following words :— Ifthe step taken by the Porte was not a formal protest, it was a very clearly expressed wish. \ ‘sald thus much, we maintain the perfect correctness of our news. If the Paris paptrs will make a furtber concession and Correctly expan how the wish was expressed by the Porte, then, and mot till pen, wili they stand on a good and matter of fact foundation. - Jf the Paris journals bed said that, as the period for fulfillipg tbe conditions (all the conditions) of the treaty Of peace a ed, the Porte had expressed a wish to come 10 an understanding (eich verstar with Aus tria and England about the ‘Austrian troopa in the Principalities, and of the English fleet in the Black Bea, we certainly should not have beea able to contradict ‘their assertion. It is now our agreeable duty to add to what has before been said on the subjrct, that Lue wished for understand. tng bet ween the Sub! Porte, Austria and Kngiand is 1g most favorably. It is needless to say that this determined act of England bas not been pleasing to the men who gov- ern in France. On Wednesday the Constituéonnel, whica is the semi-official organ of the French gov- ernment, published a violent article against Eng- land—so violent that it caused great alarm at Paris, and the funds fell at the London Exchange in oon- sequence. The Constitutionnel says:— ‘The change of ministry which has taken place at Oon- ataptinople is interpreted by some journals as a check ex —s by our policy, and as destined to aggravate the ifficulties which bave arisen in that quarter. Too great baste bas been dispiayed in giving to this event a signiti- cmion which appears to us at least premature. Wili the return of Redachid Pacha to office havo for result to ea- ‘venom a state of thiags which is already unsatisfactory, and to close the natural issue which is open for the diffi culties that prexccupy Europe? We hope that states- man will comprehend the actual position of matters im @ more favorable manner than appears to be an- ticipatea, and that be will adopt the onty line of conduct which is @ompatiblo with the honor and dig- nity of bis country. Can Turkey consent to the presence of foreign forces on her territory when the pertod bas passed away, when a plausible motive for this occu- pation no longer exists, without —— pride, without humoling herself in the eyes of the world? What is only for the remainder of Europe an infraction of treaties is a direct affront offered to Turkey. Tois Power has demanded the wiihdrawalof the Eoglish and Austrian forces, and it is for it a question of hopor and vital interest to persevere in its demands. In fact, that Power is more interested than any other in seong that those clauses of the treaty are respected which have no other object than to tee its inde ace and rafety. The misunderstandings to which the execution of the treaty of peace bave given rise are open to the ap- preciation of the public; every sincere and honest mind may decide upon their merite. The French press, with ite diversity of opinions, has, to ite honor, unanimously condemred the etentions advanced by the governmenia of Austria sand id. Good faith and reason are, It is true, evident in the theeia maintained by the French government. Art. 20 of the treaty formally attributes to Gcota the pocmcion af Delgred 0 the noo salbmnent the frontiers.

Can it be rato that the moment is not propitious for thie moet- ing? We would reply that the opportanity cannot be con testod by those who aro regiy to submit themselves to it with loyaity aod without au arriére penis. We may finally add, that if @ pacific solution is desired, no more favorable means of arrangement remaine open, and it is the only plan that ean be proposed with decency. The type selected was very prominent and it ap- peared as a first leader. The effect was not what was expected. It was not approved of in Paris. The Moniteur of this morning bas found it necessary to isaue the following: — ‘The Constitutionmel of the 6th inst. contains an article Upon & point in cispute in external a(fairs pee baie Tad Hl jen al il : paper in France dare publish an article like that in signy or Morny. Of this every man in Paris as elsewhere is aware, and the article in the Moniteur is regarded as an apology. Now, a strong and great government should never do things that render an apology necessary, no more so than a private indivi- dual in common life. It isa fauz pas,and the re putation of Louis Napoleon will suffer from it. He reported that France secretly offered her support to Prussia in the Neufchatel business if she would en- ter into a secret alliance with her. A split between England and France would be the downfall of Louis Napoleon. Emperor and court are still at Compiegne, enjoying the pleasures of the chase. There isa great want at Paris in the working classes. Placards with the words Le roi s’amuse and Vive Henry V., &c., are not unfrequently seen posted in Paris, and these are the first symptoms of discontent. A cloud no bigger than a man’s hand often denotes a com- ing storm, and a pfudent marriner takes his Precautions aocordingly. In France, however, storms often come in sudden gusta and with the strength of tornadoes, Let him beware! Of the Naples question there is nothing more to say. The English and French representatives have left, and Bomba goes on as neal. Perhaps he will take a hint. Naples is tranquil. An English and a French vessel are cruising in the vicinity. Sardinia is seriously alarmed at the threatened split between France and England—she could never join Austria in an aliiance, yet would be loth to offend England Russia is poying court to her. The Queen Dowager is & guest at Nice in Piedmont. On passing the Lago Maggiere she visited the property of Counts Bor- romeo, the far famed Isole Belle, and leaning on the aim of the Count whose property was confiscated by Austria, expressed her warm sympathies for the sufferers from Austrian tyranny. France hes unworthily played into the hands of Austria by this difference with England, and the sufferer is Italy. This is, I believe, a correct view of the political chess board of Europe at the present moment. The 5th of November has passed over very quietly this year. A few crackers and guys. The prin- cipal guys were the Emperor of Russia, the Pope and the King of Naples. Catherine Hayes has made her appearance at Jullien’s concert at Her Majesty’s theatre, and has been enthusiastically received. Her voice is more powerful since her tour round the world. Palmerston has been speechifying at Manchester on art institutions and educational establishments. Otherwise there ig nothing stirring. Robson, who stole the Crystal Palace shares, has been sentenced to twenty years’ transportation. Late news from the Cape of Good Hope announce that the fears entertained of a Kaffir outbreak are over. Lonpon, Nov. 7, 1856. Lord Palmerston’s Mission to Manchester—Sign- ficance of his Allusions to Russia. The mission of Lord Palmerston to Manchester has resulted in the delivery of three speeches, all of which you will find in detail in your your files. of Lewspapers per present mail. The thirdis generally considered the least important, because it is only a discertation on educational topics, and was deliver- ed last evening to a crowded, but evidently disap- pointed audience assembled in the Free Trade Hall. Mr. Brotherton, the borough member, presided, when in the morning the Premier addressed the town’s folks of Salford. The praise of local self-govern- ment—which he has done his little utmost to destroy —the justification of the foreign policy of his go vernment, the neceseity of guarding inst the approach of insult and wrong, the desire he had to Reading’ ‘polats of, his "mattadinal ‘uartanguen te of Nor Tet I omit to add his lordship’s assertion that a great standing army or a great navy were not the necessary concomitants of the influence of a nation. Nevertheless and not- withstanding, he added, we must not be insulted or injured, we must not submit to a wrong, nor violate a right. Oue observation there was about Russia of so much significance that by this time it is likely to be telegraphed to every nation in Europe:—‘I trust that Russia,” said he, “having concladed a treaty of peace, will observe that treaty.” This looks wuch as if his lordship edited the Morning Post, and had som to say to the ment of the Times, to say ite being obvious that the cap pe area once more, catapult-like, hurls the ies of accusation against the Czar’s carreaur de vitre !

The Fogs of Paris and London—Confidential Po- litical Conferences between the Emperor and Lord Cowley at Compiegne—Fresh Changes in the Political Atmosphere—Russian Influence again on the Wane—The Treaty of the Third of March to be Executed én all ite Rigor—Proposs- tion of Russia for the Neapolitan Difficulty— Russian Intrigues and Russian Bribery in Paris The mist, and fog, and impending drizzle, so cha- racteristic of November on the opposite side of St. George’s Channel, exhibit a decided inclination to preserve the entente cordiale between France and England, so far as dispensing to both countries an equal measure of favor. Certainly, never do we re- member the British metropolis in the most palmy dsys of November pride donning the peculiar livery of the season with a more ete univer- sality of denseness than may be now in the rival capital. The air is one ygst veil of murky grey; the trees which usually condescend to grace the noble architecture of the city, loom like frightful mani- acs with their gaunt, bare arms quivering through the gloomy heze; the lofty palatial buildings, ordinarily 80 gleaming bright in a pellucid atmosphere, now frown and scowl like battlements ominous of thun- der, smoke and death; the gay uniforms of the sol- diery only serve to increase the dismal chaos by the smutty indefinite character of hues whose glowing tints were created for the sun, and not for nist and vapor, and, to crown all, the indigné, the denizens of this ‘ally smiling city of cities, in general so Bay, 80 talkativn, so imaginative and so mercurial, is seen everywhere shivering, sacreing, spitting, smoking, sneeaing and muttering throats of charcoal and asphyxia. In one respect, at least, London has the advantage—its inhabitants are more to the man- ner born; spite of fog and frost, the icicles on his nose, or the vaporous odor penetrating to his mar. row, John Bull continues to ply his trade; and, as if the ungenial aimosphere stimulated him ints un- wonted energy, he does so with an apparently light spirit and a merrier soul than in that langhing sun- shine so necessary to his neighbors across the Marche. At six o'clock yesterday morning the thermome- ter of M. Chevallier stood at 1 deg. below zero, cen- tigrade, (304 Pahrenheit,) and at noon ‘it was at 4-10 above zero, centigrade, (32 2-3 Fahrenheit.) The gay world, which throughout the bright sea- son has been disporting itself on the sea shore, on the banks of the Rhine, at Hamburg, Baden-Baden, or in places renowned for cleansing constitutions even of Augean foulness by interminable irrigation, has, toa man, taken refuge in Paris. The yellow offiche indicative of furnished apartments, is now rarely to be seen. House agents are like Alexan- der, crying for more worlds to conquer—for more apartments wherewith to meet the demands of an ever increasing pratique—come what will, this is to be the season of seasons. Lord Granville is here from Moscow. Count de Kiseeliff, the new Russian Ambassador, arrived on Monday. Both have received invitations to repair to Compiegne, where other things besides hunting, shooting, stag quartering and feasting are being thought of. Then, when the games a-foot, when the balls of the billiard table execute their well calculated angles, when chess imitates the science of war, when whist and ecarte cheat the weary hour, there, in a cabinet at the western extremity of the chateau, may be seen seat- ed two individuals—often times they are alone, bat generaily there is a third and # fourth present. The table is covered with charts; the shelves which sur- round the cabinet are filled with works of statistica! compendia; on the side of the room which fronts the fire place is a highly colored map of Europe, and near it is one of Asia. These individuals ar the Emperor of the French and Lord Cow- ley, the English Ambassador.

It is very well to say that the emissaries of Russia are bere and there and everywhere, fomenting a spi- rit of hostility to the foreign alliances of France, and that in consequence the nataral discontent of human natare is excited to murmur at everything more immediately within ite circle. Russia can have nothing to do with the complaints which every mail brings up from the departments, of dis- tress among the peasantry, distress among the mechanics and distress especially among the small rentiers. Russia can have nothing to do with the perpetual cries for bread and house and raiment, that night after night, when the town is at rest, are heard in the dark alleys and narrow lanes of the faubourgs St. Antoine, St. Martin and St. Denis, the evidenc& of which are the next affiched to the walls and public buildings. Rassia can have nothing, either, todo with the avidity which is everywhere shown to believe that the downfall of the present dynasty is at hand, and that it will be for the advantage of France whenever it | ‘The disposition to squabble about the presa, wh.ch still continues on the part of the government, is not a wholesome sign in the bay politic.

It is very well of the Court bere, though, to our notions, somewhat infra dignetatem, to endeavor to effect a diversion, by polite attentions to correspondents of some journals, to the exclusion of others. These efforts to stem the tide are as pebbles thrown at a cataract. The correspondent of the Morning Post ‘was only the other day sent for te Compiegne, and ostentatiously thanked for the aceuracy of his state- ments, and for the impartial spirit whieh diatin- guished the general tone of his reflections; but this ‘was a courtesy extended to no other representative of the English press. The “Thunderer” was left alone in its greatness. The Daily News and Morn- ing Advertiser were thought unworthy so much as to glimpse at the luminous border which, like a belt of fire, surrounds the Court at Compiegne. The London Herald—vulgarly called “ My Grandmother” —the most tender and susceptible of conservatives, was forgotton; and the Morning Chronicle, which alone remained, and which has taken upon itself of late to read its brethren of the press lectures on their backslidings, doubtless would have enjoyed a similar honor with the Most, but, unfortunately, its corres} could no where be found—that journal finding it more economical to have its work done in London than in Paris—the Morning Chronicle, 1 say, lost the chance which might have enabled it to su ite Gre Cheng to placing in the fair it of its broad » “ Under the Imperial patronage of the Emperor of the: French.’ Let it not be supposed by the above remarks that Toffer any apace for thoae ondents who have catered tor vicious appetite of their read- ers, by trumping up the most abominable respecting the private life of the Emperor and Empress.

The French and Russian Ambasemdors at }, not only try to countermine this convention, bat ever tested the last firman the Sultan has issued oo the constitution of the looming im the political horizon. It can hardly be enid that they have teken the public by surprise, as sotre such catestrophe has been looked forward to recollect that I considered it impending as early a@ the expedition of Baron Seebach to the Rusaiam ea- It is by no means unlikely, indeed, that the preseat difference may be patched up, unless Louis Napoleem really wants to pick a quarrel with his tormer cem- federates ; there are too many symptoms, how- ever, to prove that their connection resume its former character, and that Emperor, faithful to the example and the traditions of Tilsit, is about fer his favors to his brother @utocrat in the North, to whom he is attracted by similarity of principles, and, to a nity of interests. His conduct atthe Congress of can never the French to Moscow, the evident anxiety of the French am- bassador to obtain the good graces of the Czar, and the secret negotiations that have been going om ever since between the two imperial courts, must have prepared the British ministry for what they had to expect from their ‘magnanimous ally;” but it may be doubted whether it was politic im them te afford him so fair a pretext for cutting the conneo- tion as they have done by the line of action they have thought proper to pursue in the East. The return of the British fleet, or even @ portion of it, te the Black Sea, is undeniably a violation of ome of the most important clauses of the treaty of peace; and whether the Porte has protested against it er not—whether French or English influence prevail fec the moment in the vacillating councils of the unhap- py Sultan—I do not see how Engiand can refuse to withdraw it if Louis Napoleon should make its recall @ sine qua non; and in this case she will have exposed herself to unnecessary mortification, and paved the way for the triumph of her adversaries. Or will she persist in keeping it there, in spite of all remonstrances, and at the risk of a broil with France, Russia, and perhaps with Turkey, for the indulgence of a mere whim, besides setting the ex- ample of disregarding the rights and violating the independence of the Ottoman empire, which she bas just been upholding at the cost of so enormoas a waste of life and treasure? As for the Austrians, though now rowing in the same boat with England, they will be sure to abandon her in the hour ef need, if they see France and Russia firmly united. But even temporary co-operation with a Power like Austria would be degrading to the character of Hng- land, and deprive her of the sympathies which the of the two Danubian Principalities, so ardently de- sired by the inhabitants, and prescribed by ali the dictates of sound policy. An independent cby like Belgium, whose neutrality was placed ua- der the tee of the European Powers, would be the most barrier fe- ture Russian aggressions in that 5 and it ia for this very reason that the crar diple- matiste affect vo support such e persuad- ed that thia is the best way to provoke position: of England, while A is averse to it, the i z fF Het 32k (et s | cif Fla ue ; : i g 5 g z é F ff i i i E #4 a és 33 4 e FF a rr ii : at ; Hi eset} i ig fe i i i i d il i ke ital iene inet i z U i ; i a iif i | if i £ sti fF if | more respectable 3 and © naval I fi Hel 3 ji : former amounied to 92 and the though the expenditere has
