    " The present visit of the Emperor Nicholas to is the decisive proof of tho confidence with which Russia entrusts the Oriental question to the care of the Vienna Conference under the impartial regis of Austria . The hearty ami disinterested friendship existing between the two grcut empires receives in this : ict a solemn consecration .

    OPINIONS ON THE EASTERN QUESTION . Staffohd had a meeting on Monday , to express opinion on the question of the aggression by Russia . The Mayor of tho town and Mr . David Urquhart were the most prominent persons present . The resolutions were especially directed against secret diplomacy . Mr . Urquhart made a speech attacking the present Cabinet and tho malformation of our constitution . " England , having withdrawn from tho Crown tho power of nominating its servants , and Parliament not venturing to interfere in diplomatic affairs because they belonged to tho prerogative of the Crown , there actually remains no power to control diplomatic mutters . The consequence is , to place tho Cabinet , for tho time being , in tho hands of tho abltist diplomatic representatives of another Power . Now , as Russia is the ablest Power in that respect , as sho has formed her men with that very view , all men of tried capacity und long experience , and as thoy nre placed in all the capitals of Europe , thero is un articulation of influence which is permanent and unchanging in its effects , sending tho shuttle , with its twisted thread , from Vienna to London , und so weaving its web of despotism all over Europe . In that way every Government is lod to do what Russia required , just ut tho tiino sho requires it . That being so , it is oasy to forseo that such un event as that would come off . Now , there uro

    onl y two wuys to meet Russian tlip lomucy—either by opposing it with n great English diplomatist , or by getting an English Minister to look u Russian ambassador iu the face . " Mr . Urquliurt then entered into a history of the negotiations which had taken p lace respecting tho passage of the l ' ruth ; nnd shortly afler , the meeting separated . In reply to an invitation to attend at this mooting , Kossuth wroto a lottor indicating with groat truth tho courao of English policy towards Russia . " I havo , indttud , no hesitation to say , that tho policy of England bus long since been Russian in its results ; though not Russian in its motives—it lias been worso , it lias been

    anti-liborul in princi p le . In 1 B 18 , Runnia mterlored against the popular movement in Mohlo-Wallachia b y armed invasion , and thiiM propuml tho way for that subsequent intervention in Hungary , its well us for tho prosont occupation of the Principalities . England did not opposo it . Soon uuor , Russia interfered b y arms in Hungary , and gained by it an awful preponderance throughout the Continent of Europe . Tho govcnininont of England had nothing to object to it . Thin Russian intervention being carried on from Turkidh territory , was in itHolf ( ho grossest violation oi

    its independence . Turkey was inudo an iiiMriunout for Itnsfiiau ambition and for Austrian oppression . It was permitted that tho resources of Turkish provinces , provisions , monoy , moans of ti'itnnport , should bo mudo uso of by Ruusia in her attack on Hungary . The AustriniiN , boaten , twice found rcfugu and niuiim of wttuck in tho aumo Turkish provinces ; which wiih neither more nor loss than a virtual resignation of the independence of Turkey . And tho Government oi England allowed all this to bo done—nay , it chocked Turkey in opposing it , by advising bur ' not to couio into hostile collision with Jior Btronj / or neighbours .

    He then disposed of the supposition that Austria has been ' a bar rier ; against ¦ Rtissia :-- ' ' ¦¦ ' ¦¦ - ¦ : ¦; ¦ " Austria was neVec a barrier to Russia . She was her ally 'against Tiirkey in almost all her \ vars ; sb much so , that even ' ¦ ' w'iieii sheinadea show o ; f mediation between Turkey and Russia in thdt war which ended with the treaty of Belgrade . she did'itbtily to disgitiselierpreparatibns ; fbr joining Russia * 0 s she isi doing how agairt .

Every sensible man iu the world iniist feel coriviheed that Austria . can in no pase act biit as Russia orders her ; because by the hold which' Russian influeiico hnS over the Sclavonic oleinents of the- Austrian empire , and by tlie readiness of the Hungarian natipfi ' -tb accept imy liiiagmable condition to the hated V ' rnl bf-Austria , ' slid'is well ' awate that a wbrd from the Powe which sjivtfdher in 1849 ' , may"'desti-oy her fictitious exr ' istehce .

    He attribtit ^ s me blundei-s English policy to " secre " iliplorhacy : — ' ' ' * The practice of secret minngement eiigendfcrs carelessness towards the tiiOst important political problem ;? , in the solution of which a mighty Hatibh has to claim * a share , and that carelessness is always followed by popular ignorance of all the matters connected with foreign policy . It is upon suck foundation that statesmen of high standing can dare to impose upon public credulity , by assertions which history contradicts . Thus , it is possible that the English people havo to hear Francis Joseph of Austria praised as tho hope of tho nations whom he oppresses ; thus , it is possible that another statesman flatters tho English people with the high-sounding statement that this country has stood forward many times ' to maintain

    tlie independence of weaker nations , and to preserve to the general family of nations that freedom , that power of governing themselves , of which others sought to deprwo them ; whereas , so far as history is tho record of fact , scarcely a single instance is known of England ' s Government having used its interference for tho triumph of popular r ights . Certainly not in our nge , and , least of all , in the case of Hungary , though that neglect was fraught with all the mischief which , if God and tho peop le of Turkey will not prevent it , is just about to overwhelm tlio world . Thus it is possible that while , 0110 day , Minister of tho Crown pledges his word , that the imm « liato and complete ovneuation of the Danuhian Principalities is a condition , sine qua non , of any settlement , another tiny ,

    nnother Minister of the Crown reduces this condition , smc qua non , to tho expectation that the ' mugnaniinous Cznr , ¦ will feel inclined to do spontaneously . Thus , it is possible , that while England ' s moral dignity is engaged in tho support of Turkey—because it is England which advised Turkey not to yield to tho arrogant dictutes of Prince Menscliikofr —it is England which presses upon Turkey to wi g" con « tions which , though moro mildly styled in form , aro tjio sumo in essence . And thus we como to tho point , Unit wo limy bo doomed to see the boasted friendship of K 11 gland for tho Porte coming to tho issue , that England m » y > " toribro in Turkey just as Russia did intorloro in Hungary » liiul fight tho Turkish people for daring to resent tho 011-cronchmenta of Russia upon tlio honour of tho Sultan , auu tlio indcpniicc of his empire . "

    Bristol is to have a great public mooting in favour of" tlio independence of Turkey . " It will bo hold on next Monday .
