Nphat Russia Really Intends To Resist, A...
npHAT Russia really intends to resist , appears JL now to be placed beyond a doubt ; although , notyrithstanding the anticipations of the electric telegraph , the answer Tvas not received in Vienna until Wednesday , and it was not then known . The purport of a letter from the Emperor Nicholas to the JEmperor Francis Joseph had come out , and it was -understood that in that letter , he described the retirement of his troops into Molr davia , and the consequent eTacuation of Wailachia , as a concession which ought to satisfy Austria . How little this movement in tlio Principalities is really calculated to satisfy tlie claim made by Austria , is apparent from the most obvious facts of the case . Unable to persevere in the attempt to reduce Silistria , unable to maintain the Danube above the great elbow , Prince Paskiewitch has drawn back , and he now lies in advance of Jassy , standing ready to defend his position from the elbow of th < s Danube near the mouths , which he still retains , to the corner of Transylvania . This new position renders him less exposed to the advancing troops of Austria ,
while it strengthens him for an attack on that Power in its own territory . The formal demand of Austria was , the evacuation of the Principalities , and mot of one alone . If Russia had accomplished that evacuation , and had then claimed the statvs quo , it might have been a question for Austria , whether she should continue or not ; but tho retreat upon a position whioh strengthens Russia against Austria , is indeed a singular form of concession ; and the Emperor Francis Joseph is not so dull as to be incapable of seeing through it .
It is part of the Russian pretence , that , as tho Danube is loft free , Austria should be satisfied ; but ovon if llu & sia did not retain tho mouths of tho Danube , as she docs , it « ould not bo said that tho river is free so long as Russia retains the power of returning . Tho river , indeed , is a monument of Russian infidelity to compacts , or to any law save that of necessity .
It is not surprising , therefore , that tho preparations on both eldos continue without cessation or diminution , llussia continues to strengthen her armies on tho lipo of posts , from North to South , in Poland as naucU as in Moldavia ; and while Austria advancoa with 24 , 000 men into Walkchia , and thivt force j 8 to bo strengthened , tho Western
allies persevere in bringing their troops up to Varna , evidently } preparing for some forward blow . The movements of the fleet in the Baltic have been of a kind to indicate some more decisive actions there also , but at present , we have not sufficient information to make us understand how Russia can be attacked by sea , without enormous risk of loss for the attacking fleet . In the North her most obvious dangers consist in the interruption of trade , and in a financial condition that now appears really to be becoming desperate . The loan has no success in the Netherlands any more than in France or Belguim . The novelty of the -week is furnished by Spain , which contributes to the newspapers a civil war . An insurrection has "broken out at Madrid -with some alliances outside , probably rather extensive in Arrogan and Toledo . The rebellion commenced in the capital on the 28 tb . ; on the 30 th , the insurgents mustered about 4000 strong , and there was fighting 5 and from this point tho reports become as contradictory as they are frequent . The defection of offiicei's distinguished for their loyalty—the return of soldiers and people to their allegiance , —
the total rout of tho rebels , —the * ' hope" that rethe total rout of tho rebels , —the * ' hope" that reinforcement will coiwe frqm Sarragossa and Valladolid—are examples of the reports sometimes directly contradicting each other , sometimes refuting each other by incompatible assertions . It is curious , that a Government which speaks of the rebellion with contempt , should bo congratulating itself upon reinforcements from a place so distant as Sarrugossa . Tho virtual head of tho insurrection appears to bo General 0 Donnoll , who had been concealed in Madrid , for purposes of the insurreotion , during weeks if not months ¦ , the police unable to detect him , unless , as seems probable
there arc traitors amongst the police . Ono officer who has joined the insurgents is General Dulco , a man who in 1841 distinguished himself by a gallant defence of tho Queen against the military revolt . The evident endeavour to suppress intelligence , the confessions implied in what does transpire , and the iuovomcnts of troops throughout so considerable an extent of country , convince us , that whether it bo successful or not , tho insurrection has originated in several places , and extends over no small part of tho kingdom . Its object is not distinctly declared . At first it vvas , professedly , tho putting down of the present Ministry , but a Regency and an abdication were both montionod . Tho nuostion . is discussed , whether the Queen ' s infant daughter
— " the Princess of the Astunas , —is really an heir to the Spanish crown ? The course taken by journals not Spanish , suggests a suspicion tha > the insurrection is not without-an . Orleanist element ; but we see no mention of the Montpeusier by name ; nor , as yet , have the insurgents adopted the plan proclaimed some time back , of connecting Spain and Portugal under the present youthful Kincr of the smaller realm .
The Ministerial fact of the week is the withdrawal of the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill . It is not one of the onost important measures , but becomes important , as adding another item , to the list of measures abandoned . The Oxford Bill is in the House of Peers , and my Lord Derby , with grim delight , makes niuch of waiving his opposition to the second reading . He knows that the bill is a compromise ; and he exults and congratulates the Government upon achieving at least one impoi'tant bill by the 6 th July . Lord Derby is merciful : he will not . oppose the admission ' of Dissenters to the university , but
he threatens to clog the working of the clauses with restrictions , so that the Dissenters who may matriculate will not be able to study , except at the price of an outward conformity . The Chancellor of Oxford affects to be frightened by visions of sectarian clubs , Dissenters , Presbyterians , and Roman Catholics , meeting to discuss religion and proselytise in the private halls . But we' know Lord Derby of old ; his bark was always worse than his bite ; and for once , Ministers have announced that they mean to be resolute , and on no account permit tho clauses relating to private halls to bo tampered with . Lord Derby will not
succeed . Mr . Gladstone ' s Public Revenue and Consolidated Charges Fund Bill has succeeded in passing the ambush laid for it by Mr . Spooncr . At tho third reading of the bill , lie moved to transfer from one schedule to another the charge for Maynooth College ; tho effect being to njjj »<} » tf * ftt amongst the list of annual votos , ins ^ dad ' of th ^ s ' o "\ which arc to be regarded as perutftpenw jtirogaawj . ) ' .. . .. troducing o political question intp ^ J } b « W ' a' »§ $$ »_ ^ \) i , '• of a bill winch ouglit to have be ^ K ^ ^^ ga atiL . \ / from all political qu-jstiuiw .
