We are told the py , ar lpojlced as imposing as ever " with his huge breastplate , martial ' air , anct gigantic stature . " . The young ' Emperor of Austria loiifced *' ' in the prime of youth . "' The . scarlet uniform of Lord

      Westmoreland , the representative of Downing-str ' eet and the Court of St . James ' s , was conspicuous in the cortege , as they rode down the columti to the Grand Altar , upon which mass was performed . The Emperor of Russia , notwithstanding his Russo-Greek "orthodoxy , " kneeling oh a velvet cushion , on the right hand of young Austria , / ' making the sigh of the cross . " and' otherwise "joining in the divine service . " The Prince of Prussia " stood behind as n spectator , but did not kneel . " The " elevation of the Host , " at souVid of bell , was tclcffrapJied to the most disiaJit battalions , so' that they might present arms simultaneously ; and the anthem was performed by thirty regimental bands united . After the service the defile of the whole army before the sovereigns took place . Prince Windisehgratz and the Bun "JTellachich

      figured as colonels . The Bavarian brother-in-law ( that' is to be ) of the . Austrian Emperor and several Archdukes were conspicuons . The defile lasted three hours : young Austria acting as npinenelator of regiments and persons to old Russia ; and both sovereigns enjoying the scene , we are assufed , with evident gusto — especially the Czar . The ' A $ t trian Emperor paid compliments to old Prince pnslnewitsch , the " Prince of Warsaw , " who led his regiment on the occasion . And thus the peace and liberties of Europe , the independence of Turkey , and the rights of nations , are provided for by two Emperors—the British Ambassador , " conspicuous in his scarlet uniform , " looking on hot disapprovingly .

      Just before leaving for Ohhiitz , ' Count Buol met the representatives of France mid . England in conference . 'He ' stated to the Karl of Westmoreland and M . de Lacour , that after the declaration of the Western cabinets , they could not press the Vienna Note on the Porte for acceptance , it was impossible to draw up a collective declaration in the form of a protocol . The semi-official Cor ' respondens states that the most perfect understanding subsists between Austria and Russia , especially concerning the Eastern question . " Nolhiiuj istnurc likely ( saya this journal , with charming naivete ) than that ihe two Emperors , when ' met at Olmvlr , will occupy themSblees Very seriously with the condition of the Christian * of Turkey , ax it is their duty xt > to do .

'¦¦ . ; ¦ ' T ' '' The practice of secret management engenders carelessness towards the most important political problems , in the solution of which a mighty nation has to claim , a share , and that carelessness is nhvays followed by populur ignorance of all the mailers * connected with ibreign policy ; -... It is . upon such foiindatiou that . statesmen of hit ; h standing can dare to impose upon public credulity , ' -. by- iassertions which '• history- contradicts . Thus , it is possible that the English people have to bear Francis Joseph , of Austria praised as the hope of the nations whom he oppresses ; thus , it is possible that another statesman flatters the English . people with Qm Jiigh-sounding stutement tliat this . countrv lias sUnxl iiirward many times -to mninlain

      the independence-of weaker nations , und to preserve to the general funiily . of nations that -freedom ^ that power of governing themselves , of which others sought to dopri , e them ;' whereas , ko far us history is , tluii record of fact , scarcely a single instance is known of England ' s Government having usod its interference "for the triumph of j ) opular rights . Certainly not in our ; . ai ; e ,, « nd , least of all , in the case of Hungary , though that neglect was fraught with all , the mischief which , if God uud tho people of Turkey , will not prevent it , is junt about to overwhelm tho world . Thus it is possible that while , one day , o" ° Minister of the- Cro % yn pledyon his word , that the innneiliato and' complete evacuation ; of tho Danubjun 1 ' rincipaUties is a condition , situ- qua non , of , any settlement , another diiy ,

      another Minister . of the Crown reduces this condition ; , mnc qua- non , to . tho expectation that the ' niagnftnijuou . s Czar , will feel inclined to do . spontaneously . Thus , it is possible , that while England ' s niond dignity is engaged in Iho support of Turkey—because it w England which udyisod Turkoy not to yield to the arrogant dictates of Prince-Mun . ichikoff —it is lin ^ hind which pnwses upon ,, Turkey to sign conditions which , though ' . mure ; mildly styled in form , aro tho name in essence .
