      A NE"VV step has been made in tte progress of the dispute between Busaia and Mwope , rather than iNirkey . The Emperor of Russia has transmitted to the Courts of Paris and London , a reply to the last Note emanating from those Courts . This document , which has been erroneously called a Manifesto , has been variously describe d as being couched in the most insulting terms , and as being couched in the terms of the most perfect courtesy , with Btrong professions ot peace . Unable to determine which is the exact description , we are driven to conjecture , and

      there is some clue to conjecture , from the fact that the document has been withheld from publication in both countries . If it is so courteous , how advantageous it would have been to soothe the public mind , by showing the excellent temper of the Emperor Nicholas ! We suspect that both descriptions are true , —that it is courteous in its language , ' profuse in pretensions of peace , but deeply insulting to those whom i t addresses , in renewing those transparent assertions of pacific intentions with which Russia has preceded her

      grossest outrages , and thus in covering impudent aggression with the cynical language of diplomatic politeness . . There is no species of insult so gross as that with which a domineering man of rank , using polite language , puts some overbearing coercion upon the inferiors by whom he is surrounded ; and such we take to be the demeanour of . Russia towards the inferior Court * of France and England . Both Governments have intimated , through their organs in Paris and London , that their own course iB unaltered by this new lluasian manoeuvre .

      In the East , affairs proceed just as if the Czar were not putting forth these renewed professions of peace . The Turks have actually crossed the Danube , and Russian blood has boon shed ; and the joiSfc fleets of Franco and England have actually entered tho Dardanelles . Thore is not that appearance of retractation on tho field of action which our Paris Correspondent indicatea .

      In more than one respect the relations of States abroad look monacing , oven in the extreme East , The Indian mail brings reports as to the " , impossibility of keeping up tho hollow peaco in Uurmoh j with accounts of British oilicera killed *> y Arab irregulars in the Nizam ' s territories , ad by Affgluwua at I ' cshawur ;~~ offences against

      English authority , which will iave to be chastised with a high hand , unless English authority is to be given up . Troops are withdrawn from the Cape of Good Hope , for service nearer home—¦ - fanT regiments ; and simultaneously with their withdrawal , the indomitable Uaflres are grumbling at the insufficiency of the lands allotted to them , and talking about getting back to the Amatola mountains . General Cathcart appears as little to have put down the Caffre as did Sir Harry Smith . With his " stick of peace . "

      A dispute between the Governments of France and Naples begins to assume an ugly aspect . The King of Naples held a review ; and as a compliment , three French officers were sent to attend that review . Tliere has been in Naples a strong party in favour of restoring the heir of the family of Murat—anything rather than a continuance of the perjured family which still encumbers the throne . This local aspiration renders the sight of everything French vexatious to the royal

      mind ; and French uniform adds nothing to the beauties of that loveliest of bays in the regal sight . Hence it was an object to stop the officers going to the review ; yet the King could no more decline the visit than an Eastern nobleman can decline the royal present of an olephant . Some pretext , therefore , was necessary ? and the French officers were put in quarantine ! Unable to accuse them of political intrigue , the Neapolitan authorities declared them to be suspected of

      infection ! Thus Naples turned JJullcalr s pretext upon the French officers . Tho recruit bellows to Falstaff , that ho cannot go to tho walla , for that he has a cold : Naples refuses to receive French officers at itB mimic wars , lost they should , bo in indifferent health . Franco , howovor , was not content to be put into tho Lazaretto ; and the Emperor has withdrawn his ambassador from Naples . How tho quarcel will end doos not yet appear ; but it ifl , no doubt , stored up in the deep , icy mind of Louis Napoleon .

      Now domestic troubles appear now to tost hie power . M . Goudchaux , Finance Minister under Cavaignao , 3 VT . jDelescluze , a companion of Lodru Rollin in the affair of Juno , and several other persons , have boon arrested and searched ; but the aggression on private liberty , however resented by Emilo do Girardin in tho JPrettse , excited for loss sensation in Paris than a stockjobbing report , that tho Emperor had fallen from his horse I Tho position of tho Spanish Government grows

      daily more critical . A Ministerial crisis seema to have become the natural state of affairs ; and whereas , until the present day , it was considered that " the favourite" should be removable , as the ladies of the bed-chamber have been removed in this country , the modern practice in the Spanish Court has rescued that gentleman from mere Ministerial " solidarity . ' * Perhaps the Spanish people do not object to the existence of that functionary in the Spanish Court ,

      nor have they yet marked a very strong sense of the frequent changes in that peculiar office ; but some want of reserve has lately provoked tho popular indignation . Coins are current on which the effigy of her most Catholic Majesty is stamped with the most opprobrious epithets applied to females ; and recently , when Isabella appeared at the theatre , and the band struck up the " Royal March , " the tune was stopped by the indignant audience , and gracious Majesty was saluted with hisses ! Such incidents mark more than want of

      personal respect : it betrays the corrupt state of society , in which the Government authority has lost its hold , and power over the treasury is retained only by military occupation . The return of Narvaez , with tho expectations formed from that fact , would indicate an impending military revolution . But the question is , whether that vigorous soldier of forfcuno is not too much broken down by ill health and years to repeat the cowp d'Uat which established his authority , and banished the General who really placed the Queen upon her throne .

      The Spanish Government has just remembered that it ought to pay to that General , Espartero , 50 ( 101 ., as an instalment of arrears long duo to him , and the order for payment Jiaa issued . Ifc involves a largo discount ;—/ ifty per cent : for thus it is , that proud Spain pays her debts of honour Tho American papers report a . strange diplomatic irregularity , with very ominous appearance . General Almonto , tho Mexican

      ambassador at Washington , has " officiously" Bent to tho papers a letter , in which Santa Anna , President of Mexico , contradicts the American report that ho is raising an army to make himself Emperor and invado tho Union . Tho averment is , that the army is raised to defend tho frontier against Indians whom tho Americans permit to vex it , and against piratical invader * of another kiud . This disclaimer of treachery and war , however , only deepens suspicion against a man so ambitious and 00 treacherous aa Sunta Anna .
