      NOT the slightest novelty lias been introduced into the " ° O ^ l 4 sta ^ j ' : 0 ^ y'V&bine-bf the illusions which beset it seem at last to be gradually disappearing . ^ The pacific disposition of Eussia is now denied by the Morning Post , in terms which leave little expectation that the Czar will justify the dilatory indulgence of the English Government . According to the Post , whatever the Czar may have said in . loose conversation to intimate his readiness to receive new negotiations , he has really exerted himself at Warsaw and

      Potsdam to effect an " alliance , a conspiracy , . it should be called , between Russia , Austria , and Prussia , against Turkey and the Western Powers against Europe . Prussia was the difficulty , not Austria . Prussia held aloof , and that Power it was necessary to bribe . The Czar , therefore , offered to resign possession of Warsaw ,

      and thus to abandon Poland to the House of Brandenburg . The King of Prussia is reported to have been too discreet for this desperate game . It is not wonderful that with the appearance of timidity in our own . Court , with her success in Hungary , and now in Turkey , and with tho subserviency of the second greatest empire in Europe , . Russia should suppose herself strong- enough to dictate to tho Continent and . tho world . The

      King of Prussia does not li \ ro quite so far north but that he knows something more of what is going on in the west , and he holds aloof . The attempted alliance waa a failure ; Prussia remains effectively neutral , andAustriasimulatestho course taken by tho most moderate of kings , also remaining neutral , and also , it is said , sincere in , that neutrality . If this Blio ' uld be so , Russia will bo unable to traverse tho territories that cut her off from the rest of Europe , save by tho route of tho Baltic and tho Black Boa . But wo confess

      that wo put no faith whatever in the neutrality of Austria , and none in the pcrBiHtoncy of Prussia . The chief value of tho raporfc is to Htrongthen tho suspicion , tbtvt , itusHia will go forward , whatever negotiations may bo aU ; omptod , Tho proceedings on the Danube- equally imlioiite this probability . Tlu ? rocmittnont of foreoH , tho svppointhient of Monsohilcoff pa supflriritoudoht of tho Principalities , tho cons ' tru'lrjtian of baiTaelcH for tho troops , tho exile of two WaUaoliiaus who niuiply presented , tho one a statement of grievance h , and tho other a ti % va » latioitof that Htato *

      nient , indicate that Uussia is not only preparing for a -T ^ mfcer residence in the Principalities , but is actually acquiring the habits of government in that quarter . The intrigues of Kussia amongst the Christian population have perhaps been checked by these examples of i her tyranny , but Austria « aonnqt yet have : given .: up : Her hopes of annexing Servia , and pei ^ haps Bosnia , notwithstanding ; the difficulties inherent in such enterprises . Austria may be neutral now , but she will , no doubt , wait a time when the force of circumstances will oblige her to take sides with her protector and accomplice , Nicholas .

      The position of our own Government is not more cleai ? than it lias been- for several weeks . Wellinfofme'd people aver that it is more firm than it professes to be . The newest report is the revival of an old one — that on some occasion in the last war l * ord Aberdeen saw a number of dead bodies , and was so impressed by the unwholesome spectacle as to record a pledge against any conduct that should lead to war , as -death wad the worst-evil that could befal humanity . Another member of the government is loud in declaring for peace at all price . Lord

      Palmerston is reported to hold conspicuously aloof . Wo know nothing of the truth , of these reports , save as to tho loud-speaking of the peace declarations of the Minister in question . Tho departure of Count Monsclorf from the Court of our Queen to his own in Austria , and the subsequent departure of an Austrian Mensdorf from , Vienna to . theCourfc of St . Pcterslmrgli , causes ti suspicions watchfulness . By favour of secret diplomacy , wo shall know nothing about tho result of all Hume nmncouvim Tlioy will remain unknown unfAl t , ho whole , of tho , j mschief ; shall

      have been doho . Notwithatanding the fact that meetings have boon hold this week , tho most important agitation in favour of a right ' course- ' with ' respect i to Turkey , is ih » movement in Edinburgh , last week , for peace . At present tho , public is atill disinclined to move , uncertain of tho facts , and willing to hope that Ministers nro rqa ^ ly

      prooeeJing in a right oonrflo . The public , j , ^ ro ( <) rc , stops at homo , ancl loiivo » tW platfotpiii to ; tho conjparativcly fow moving inon wlwrio viiry natnen givo u ool'tuin peculiarity of colour to the ostensible proceedings . There' are few moi ) i ot what aro callod " station" who have the courage to come forward , li ^< 5 M ^ r . IUackett :, tho Mombor l . w Now ^ istlu , anil to take their posts , x > ublivly ' » «

      Englishmen in declaration of a national duty , while so many of then * order remain at home , each man ashamed to niove unless everybody else will B | an 4 by . him . . But what public declai'ation has failed tp dp in the positive form , the Peace Party have succeeded in doing by the negative process . Mr . Cobden , by putting the doctrine of non-intervention in its most naked shape , —by declaring the conduct of Russia to be " selfish , " and yet surrendering the world , to the merey of

      that policy , —by the gross sophistry with which he represents resistance to Hussia as the maintenance of Mahommedanism in Europe , has roused the public to feel the total untruth of these representations , ' to feel even an indignationat the attempt to palm off fallacies so transparent . In like manner , Mr . Briglit ' s upholding of the American model for military

      expenditure , while deprecating that same model for \ military organization , has drawn attention to that important subject by a now and an amusing illustration of the shifts to which its opponents were driven . Tho Peace Party did not go to Edinburgh for nothing-, they have convinced tho public that their doctrines are unattainable in England .

      In home politics wo have nothing more amusing or politically significant , than tho meeting afc Caatlo Hodingham , where tho Hinokford Agricultural arid" Corisorvativo Association hold its annuttVt > anqriot . In former ' times'this periodical feast has boon attended by those stanch Parliamentary Protectionists , who were called tho " Essex Ton ; " and it was in the aamo place that Mt . Disraeli first propounded hin plan of

      transforring local burdens to tho Consolidated mind . Those were tho days , however , when the ¦' Protectionists , by the weakness of tho Whig Government , tho supposed audacity of Lord Derby , and tho dramsiti <; ingenuity of . 'Mr . Disraeli , appeared to b # making a roal pnward march . They havo marched into ollice only to show what they wero ; and Essex , powerfully represented in tho Ministerial pnrty of tho Derby day , 'had Us . full , share

      of tho glories . Mr . Dinr « . oli became Olumoollor of tho JOxdioquory " -iu . 1 did not insert tlio HodingliaiA spooolr into Iti . ^ Bticlgot ; ' Lord I > orl > y booamo J .
