• L GAIN the Eastern question jirescnts itself in J-jL twQ branches- —in the Eiixine and the Baltic ; •> bufc tike Russian question , now becoming substanf ^| f , jaigms to look infinitely more important than ' tne rurkisK . TKe news from Constantinople might make us fear that Austria has succeeded in ¦ fttWeadiiig ^' our Ministers to sacrifice Turkey dt the feet of Russia . They haye-wged upon the Porte a ne ^ r note , in which the Fo < ir Powers engage the old
Turkey to conclude' peace with Russia , ¦ upon the ^^ aftions that treaties ^^ feSi' ^ a J ^ e ' re-« e ^ e & ^ ; TIiis q | $ ^ s $ s -to ^ give up everythin g that . Russia asked . It is , however , remarked by friendly ^ commentators , that the treaties on renewal -would be subjected to the explanations , guarantees , And control of the Four Powers , and would thus
virtually constitute a pledge from Turkey to those 'Four Powers , and not " solely to Russia . The notioh that the Porte was capitulating , provoked the riot of . which we have already heard , under the Mussulman zeal of the Ulem ' as and Softas : " but the proclamation df continued war , notwithstanding the new negotiations , had the effect of pacifying the people .. Both sides continue their preparations and aetion .
In the meantime , the peculiarly one-sided enr forceng ^ eiit of neutrality in the Black Sea , after the blow at Sinope , tells most disastrously for Turkey . An instance y $ ll show its working . The Porte was about to ' send reinforcements to its troopa in Asia Minor ; but the path by sea being < jut off , this reinforcement would be obliged to travel round by land , and would , arrive to the succour of the Sultan ' s faithful soldiers a month
After its departure ! Turkey , however , is not likely to be downcast , especially after the new and signal success in Lesser Wallachia ; where a targe body of Russian reinforcements were repulsed with immense loss . Indifferently as European diplomacy looks in that quarter , however , there is some hope that our Government may have at last committed itself to steps more energetic and just . Three series of orders have been sent out to the admirals of the
fining the war-ship ? of Russia and Turkey to their ports . The important fact , ^ however , remains to be told . These last instructions have heen notified directly to St . Petersburg , and the notification will arrive "in that capital before the Turkish reply to the note of the l ? 6 ur Powers . Michael Angelo alone could portray thet aspect of the dread Czar , <> n learning , this outrage upon liis supreme dignity . We fully expeclTfo hear that , while lie declines to treat with . any otfiercountry
on Turkish ground , he will now feel compelled to accept a directquarrel with the powers of the West . , "VrTe ^ do not-care much" to mvesti&ate the endless rumours about the . mission of . the Prince de Chimaj from * Belgium . to France to intermediate with the Czar ; nor with suspicious that Austria will back out of the Western alliance , while Prussia shall join the neutral league of Denmark and Sweden . There are apparitions , however ,
which , whether they be substantial verities or not , are so ugly , in . their : look ? as to create anxiety . The statement that Princei Albert interferes in the conduct of "foreign affairs between the Queen and her Minister ? , is . riather cphfirnied than not by collateral circumstances , which are currently told in the conversation of society , and by the form of any unpublished contradiction which over-zealous
servants are said to have hazarded . The stories are , as yet , unsupported by any real evidence ; but they meet with no real contradiction , though the public might have expected that the charge would have been repelled with indignant promptitude . Another extremely disagreeable incident is the proposed meeting of the Count de Chambord with the Orleans family at Claremont . By the constant visits which the Count has exchanged with the Duchess of Orleans , it would seem as if he
had brought over that independent lady to the league ; in which case he would now be the adopted father of his young cousin , the Count of Paris . When the Count met the Duke of Nemours at Frohsdorf , public opinion in England condemned the Austrian Government for assisting at the conjunction ; and now public opinion turns uneasily to the recollection ihat the Orleans
worthless conspirator ^ with spies or police . . Let them machinate in aafe impotence . But ^ at all events , the outrage : on discretion and . taste should ^ be punished by the rigorous exclusion of ithese intriguing busybodies from our court . . Itis preposterous to plead private friendships ; the ; crown holds its dignity by the tenure of faithfully performing suit and service to state-poijicy ^ , 7 .-1 . % ,
Portugal , under its GoburgcKing-Regent , remains tranquil , becQtise the English fleet is in the fb g ^ » protecting" the Portuguese Court , not the inviolability of England . r-, r ¦ ¦¦ • -:. ^ The loyal Spanish officials have loudly heralded the birth of a' daughter to fhe : Queen of Spain , suspending the presumptive hopes of a Montpensiex for a few days . The poo » r little' infant died on the 8 th instant . ' :
One turns from these paltry intrigues and diseased dynastic calculations to the healthy : development of constitutional freedom in a quarter which never ceases to raise our ' attention and interest . While the Pope is putting forth an allocution , confessing to the -world the downcast state of his mind ait the condition-of the Romish Church , while our own ecclesiastical statistics disapprove many tales that Rome was regaining England * Piedmont is continuing her path in a gradual Protestantism , which certainly does not appear to be the less sure because it is slow . We know that the measures
lately "taken by Government will fail to touch the sympathy of our literalising Protestants , or our Voluntaries ; nevertheless they are pregnant with the largest germs of religious ireedomi The Government possesses a strong and overwhelming majority in the Representative Chamber , and it is expected that the Ministerial party will put in practice the design of revising the Church . The State-Church titles will be reviewed , mendicant orders will be put down , and the stipends of the multitude of common clergy will augment by ^ h& spontaneous munificence of the * State . It . 18
evident that , under such a reform , the customs and institutions of the regular orders will be altered , the secular clergy will be brought under the coiitrol and influence of the State , and , what is mor « , the people will witness the tr . iu . mph of a Government which has the courage and strength thus to grapple the spiritual despotism of Rome and reduce it to secular control . This is a reform more pure-minded than that of Blue-Beard Henry ; and if it is not establishing constitutional freedom and vitality in religious as well as civilmatters , otir own Reformation in England is a delusion .
family have the run of the royal residence in England . It is true that our court enn bo primarily responsible for the gross infringement of discretion and taste of which the Count do Chambord is guilty , in abusing the freo hospitality of England , to make it the safe gro ' und of his intrigues ; and no free Englishman would desire that our Government should pursue even those
Black Sea . The first , to enter the Dardanelles ; the Bftcond—just about the time of Lord Palmer ston ' a secession from the Ministry— " to make a demonstration" in the tilack Sea ; the third , recently , and after his . return , to take possession of th « Black Sea , ajtid enforce its neutrality , by con-
