A New Step Has Beenmade In The Progress ...
A NEW step has beenmade in the progress of the dispute between Russia and Europe , rather than Turkey . The Emperor of Russia has transmitted to the Courts of Paris and London , a reply to the last Note emanating from those Courts . This document , which has been erroneously called a Manifesto , has been variously descr ibed as being couched in the most insulting terms , and as being couched in the terms ^ of the most perfect courtesy , with strong professions of
peace . Unable to determine which is the exact description , we are driven to conjecture , and there is some clue to conjecture , from the fact that the document has been withheld from publication in both countries . If it is so courteous , how advantageous it would have been to soothe the public mind , by showing the excellent temper of the Emperor Nicholas ! We suspect that both descriptions are true , —that it is courteous in its language , profuse in pretensions of peace , but
deeply insulting to those whom it addresses , in renewing those transparent assertions of pacific intentions with which Russia has preceded her grossest outrages , and thus in covering impudent aggression with the cynical language of diplomatic politeness , ' Thero is no species of insult so gross as that with which a domineering man of rank , using polito language , puts some overbearing coercion upon the inferiors by whom he is surrounded ; and such wo take to be the demeanour of Russia towards the inferior Courts of
Franco and England . Both Governments have intimated , through their organs in Paris and London , that their own course is unaltered by this new Russian manoeuvre . In the East , affairs proceed just as if the Czar wore not putting forth these renewed professions of peace . Tho Turks have actually crossed the Danube , and Russian blood has boon shed ; and the joint fleets of France and England have actually entered tho Dardanelles . There ' in not that appearance of retractation on . tho field of action which our Paris Correspondent indicates .
In more than one respect tho relations of States abroad look 'menacing , even in tho extreme East . Tho Indian mail brings reports as to tho inipoHBibility of keeping tip . tho' hollow peace in Uunnuh ; with account !) of British officers killod by Arab irregulars in . the Nizam ' s territories , Wid by AflVhans at Poshawur ;—offences against
English authority , which will have to be chastised with a high hand , unless English authority is to be given up . Troops are withdrawn from tiie Cape of Good Hope , for service nearer homefour regiments ; and simultaneously with their withdrawal , the indomitable Caffres are grumbling at the insufficiency of the lands allotted to them , and talking about getting back to the Amatola mountains . General Cathcart appears as little to have put down the Caffre as did Sir Harry Smith with his " stick of peace . "
A dispute between the Governments of Franco and Naples begins to assume an ugly aspect . The ; King of Naples held a review ; and . as a compliment , three French officers were sent to attend that review . There has been in Naples a strong party in favour of restoring the heir of the family of Murat—anything rather than a continuance of the perjured family which still encumbers the throne . This local aspiration renders the sight of everything French vexatious to the royal
mind ; and French uniform adds nothing to the beauties of that loveliest of bays in the regal sight . Hence it was an object to stop the officers going to the review ; yet the King could no more decline tho visit than an Eastern nobleman can decline the royal p resent of an elephant . Some pretext , therefore , was necessary ; and tho French officers were put in quarantine I Unable to accuse thorn of political intrigue , the Neapolitan authorities declared thorn to be suapocted of
infection ! Thus Naples turned Bullcalf ' s pretext upon the French officers . Tho recruit bellows to Falstaff , that ho cannot go to the walls , for that ho has a cold : Naples refuses to receivo French officers at its mimic wars , lest they should bo in indifferent health . France , however , was not content to bo put into the Lazaretto ; and the Emperor has withdrawn his ambassador from Naples . How tho quarrel will end does not yot appear ; but it is , no doubt , stored up in the deep , icy mind of Louis Napoleon .
New domestic troubles appear now to test his power . M . Goudchaux , Finance Minister under Cavaignae , M . J ) o 1 obc 1 uzo , a companion of Ledru Rollin in the affair of . June , and several other porsonn , have been anwstod and searched ; but the aggression on private liberty , however resented by JSmilo do Girardin in tho X reuse , excited for less BonBiition ¦ in . Paris than n stockjobbing report , that the Emperor liad fallen from his horse ! The position of the Spanish Government grows
daily more critical . A Ministerial crisis seems to have become the natural state of affairs ; and whereas , until the present day , it was considered that " the favourite" should be removable , as the ladies of the bed-chamber have been removed in this country , the modern practice in the Spanish Court has rescued that gentleman from mere Ministerial " solidarity . " Perhaps the Spanish people do not object to the existence of that functionary in the Spanish Court ,
nor have they yet marked a very strong sense of the frequent changes in that peculiar office ; biit some want of reserve has lately provoked tho popular indignation . Coins arc current on which the effigy of her most Catholic Majesty is stamped with the most opprobrious epithets applied to females ; and recently , when Isabella appeared at the theatre , and the band struck up the " Royal March , " the tune was stopped by the indignant audience , and gracious Majesty was saluted with hisses ! Such incidents mark more than want of
personal respect : it betrays the corrupt state of society , in which the Government authority has lost its hold , and power over the treasury is retained only by military occupation . The return of Narvaez , with tho expectations formed from that fact , would indicate an impending military revolution . But tho question is , whether that vigorous soldier of fortune is not too much broken down by ill health and years to repeat the coup d'etat which established his authority , and banished the General who really placed the Queen upon her throne .
The Spanish Government has just remembered that it ought to pay to that General , Eapartcro , 6000 £ ., as an instalment of arrears long duo to him , and the order for payment has issued . It involves a largo discount—uTIy per cent : for ( , hun it is , that proud Spain pays her debts of honour ! The American papers roport a strange diplomatic irregularity , with very ominous appearance . General Almonte , tho Mexican
unibiiHHndor at Washington , has " ofliciously" sent to tho papers a letter , in which Santa Anna , Preta ' dent of Mexico , contradicts tho American report that ho is raising an army to mnko himself Emperor and invade tho Union . Tho averment is , that tho army is raised to dofoud tho frontier against Indians whom the Americans permit to vex it , and against piratical invaders of another land . Thin disclaimer of treachery and war , however , only deepens Biwpicion againat a man so ambitious and so treacherous na Santa Azuia ,
