•Cphree Facts In Relation To The War Sta...
• CpHREE facts in relation to the war stand out A with prominence sufficient to create great interest . The expedition for Sevastopol has departed from Varna , ; and must now be in the Crimea ; Russia has refused to accept the con * ditions offered by Austria as a basis for negotiation ; arid Austria has declined to consider the Russian refusal a casusletli .
Dealing with the diplomatic facts first , let us estimate their import . It yrill be remembered that on the 10 th of August . Austria forwarded a note to the Court of St ; Pe & sT > ur <* containing the conditions set forth in the identic notes exchanged , on the 8 th of August , between Austria and the Western Powers . Three days after Prussia sent a note also ; weakly supporting the former Austrian demand , and , were sentimentally diplomatic , we should say pathetically appealing ty > the Emperor Nicholas to be good enough at least to say that he would negotiate . To that demand and thte appeal the Russian answered " No . " At Vienna and Putbus the
significant monosyllable was uttered i \ early on the same day . The Prussian Court at Putbus was put in commotion-pleading , doubtless , to ^ great demands on the champagne cases . The Austrian Emperor summoned his council , and they determined , it seems , not to regard the Russian refusal as a casiis belli . It is not for us to decido upon the policy of Austria in this war . She has purely Austrian objects in view ; and a mortal fear of revolution at her heart . Hitherto she has limited her action to securing the Danube , and the notes of the 8 th August , go no further than to bincl her to dp certain things ,
should the Itussians not evacuate the Principalities . In refusing to take tho answer as a casus belli , Austria seems actuate ! by two motives—a desire to give tho Russians time to escape from Austria ' s advancing soldiers ; tuwl an equally strong wish to await tho opinion of the German Diet before taking such a decided stop as a declaration of war . Tho position now taken up by Auatriu is this : nhe occupies the Principalities , in »< un attitude of armed neutrality ; " setting the Turkish urmy froj to attack the Russians ; tho ullius Vme to usHiiil the Crimea ; and standing herself armed in thu path , blooking out the Hussions for tho futuru .
_ In other respects tho war ia at « , stand , except »« v the Crimea . Tho Turks have pressed on towards Moldavia , they menace Bnula and GultUs ,
and may enter Bessarabia , if they . are . ' required * do so . On . the other hand , the Russians have not quitted Moldavia , and it still remains to be seen whether they intend to do so or not . All eyes are bent upon : Sebastopol ; but we warn the public that they must not expect early news of its fall . From Asia , the filler accounts of the battles of Bayazeod and Kuroukdere only confirm the stories
of the terrible disasters inflicted on the Tui-ks . Indeed , it is stated that 'the combat was decisive , and the retreat from the field a rout . Zarif Pasha was superseded , and either General Guy on or Ismail Pasha will succeed him in command ; while Colonel Williams , on the part of England , goes as a military commissioner . The sum of all is , as we stated last week , that Russia wins the
campaign . . The meetings of potentates at Boulogne and Calais have teased public curiosity . King Leopold renewed his acquaintance with Louis Napoleon , now an Emperor ; the King ; of Portugal paid a rapid visit to tlie favourite of fortune ; and Prince Albert , with a striking train , the Minister of War , the Conimandfer-in-Clxief , the Adjutant-General , tlie veteran Lord Scaton , and a host of officers , m-rived at Bolognc on
Tuesday to stay for the week , Much has been written on the courtesies interchanged between the Emperor and the Consort of Jiis great ally , —the cordial gvasp , the frank language , tho high-bred attention and as much almost about tho rougher courtesies prevailing among tho men of the Hundred Guards and Corporal Sutton and his Life Guards . The real significance of the meeting , however , is not in this outward show of high life , but in the great fact that it is n military and political conference . What has boon decided ?
Denmark is engaged in defending its constitution from a rognl coup ( VJtal , an X in a very British fashion—that is , by a national " Society" "—a League , and ft big subscription . Tho illegal constitution , ordained last July by the Oorstod Ministry , gives . simply ai consultative power to a Council of State nominees . Tho promulgation of this edict , no less than its churnetur , is ominontly
unconstitutional ; and the whole nation is unanimous for bucking tho Parliament , should Parliament , sis is anticipated , impeach tho Minister . * and refuse the tnxus , Tliirj steady British fashion of dealing with obstreperous ) Ministers and maundering monarchy utrangcly contrasts with tho fiercer fashions of Spain . There , the army , and not tho people , makes tin . revolutions ; tho general , not tho statesman , io
the man who assails despotism . It is a pity the Spahiard cannot infuse a little of his fire into the Scandinavian ^ and the latter a little of his steady will arid .-. plodding , perseverance into the Spaniard . However , having got rid , of Queen Christina , and having seized her effects , the Spanish Government seems likely to succeed in maintaining order until the Constituent Cartes assembles to relieve it of sonis , of the responsibility . A . t home thus Cholera makes awful strides
onwards . The rate of the increase last week over the week befo > re is one-half as many again . The new Board of Health has at least shown a com ^ meridable activity in advising and suggesting means of meeting the evil . A Medical Council has been appointed , composed of the best known men in the profession , and it held its'first meeting on Wednesday . It must be obvious to all that the
Board of Health can confer a great benefit on the country by acquiring and diffusing the fullest possible information , hotonly as to the state of the atmosphere , and the causes thereof—not only by keeping a register of all fatal cases—but by recording cases of recovery as well . And this , week the new Medical Council calls upon the medical profession of the metropolis and country to co-operate . Most of the Ministers aro recreating in the rural districts . Lord John Russell is especially locomotive ; now inltendal , now in Skiddav , now in " Mr . White ' s theatre , " listening to " ShoStoops to Conquer ; " now at Killarney , and everywhere sowing small seeds ofpossiblo and imbecile popularity . M ^ r . Sidney Herbert has been f < 3 ting the school-children of Wilton , and engaging in their games—a strong contrast to the duties of the Secretary , at War , The Duke of Newcastle has been at Boulogne , But Lord Aberdeen , grim , silent , and conscientious , remains constantly ut the hend-quarters of affairs . Tho middle O cla . ssos of London , the weavers of Nottingham nnd the labourers of / Vylesbury , two rioting against tho bakers ;—in Nottingham they break into tho bakers' shops , in London thoy brook out in tho columns of tho Tinws in silly complaints . The fact is , tho price of bread ia pretty generally too liigli oa compared to tlio price of grain . Tho bukai-fl scorn to have made n . mistake in hying in stocks in anticipation of a riao ; and tho vapid full of tho price of grain has caught them with Blocks of high-priced wheat uiicoiiBuiuuil . Wlionoe , Ihe madness —utter madmirtfl— of tho iiiobt * . Another riot of a inoro regular character—thftt
