THE SECRET DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE. sl v: ---r 1. *j

The correspondence which the English

government has been compelled to lay bc"orc Parliament, is the most remarkable, extraordinary and interesting which the public of this generation have ever had submitted to their perusal, admitting them as it does behind the curta and bringing them

into the immediate presence of Russian royalty, where they listen to the secret utterances of the most wily, adroit and far-seeing diplomacy that has ever meddled with the destinies of the world. It fully confirms the opinion, which has boon repeatedly expressed during the past six months, that Russia has been acting throughout the whole of these transactions, not upon any merely extemporaneous views arising out of the present conjuncture, but in deliberate promotion of a fixed, permanent, long cherished, and far-reaching policy.

The curtain which is now lifted discloses to us a sovereign, who, conscious of power, and confident in his destiny, is never for a moment, in his own conception of himself, adrift on the sea of political contingencies, but having clearly in his eye the point hemeans to reach, feels no unmanly misgivings with regard to his ability to gain it.

O O This persistent execution of a deliberate plan, this invincible determination to make circumstances bend to human resolve, this unflinching resolution to look matters square in the face, which is troubled by no compunctions, and marches, relentless as fate, straight to its object, is certainly one of the

leading attributes of greatness, according to the standard of a world where the idea of the great in character does not nesessarily include that of the good. According to the Czar, Turkey is a sick man, a very sick man," and it would be a great pity if he should die before arrangements are fully made for the division of his estate. If the consummation of this business should hasten the demise of the patient, the heirs would come so much the sooner in possessitn^ f'Kngland hesitates, and affects compassion and conscientious scruples. Russia offers her Egypt, and adds Candia to the lure." England does not exactly spurn the bait she does not lire up with indignation, but is still v. illing to listen.

THE SIX FRIGATES IJiL:,. We are glad to be able to announce thai the bill providing for the conslruction of six frigates lias passed both Houses ot- Congress. It passed the House on l-'riday, and was sent to the Senate (where it originated) for concurrence in some amendments. The latter body immediately concurred.

The act authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to secure the construction of the vessels in such manner as lie shall deem best —either in thc government navy yards, or by private contract. The latter policy we hope will be adopted.- 'Let the jobs be given to the best ship builders in the country, whose pride and reputation will turn out ships that will be the pride and glory of

the Union. The six frigates should be the most complete and efficient war vessels that evtr floated.

/,£' The article which we published sume two or three weeks since in regard to Schuyler Colfax being opposed to making empcr :nce a political parly question in the coming canvass, seems to have given much uneasiness to some of the whig papers abroad, and, as is customary with that class of Journals, billingsgate and obscene language is the arguments used to controvert facts.

The Constitution makes it my dutv to point out the objectionable features of this bill, but I owe it to the subject, and to the friends of the measure, to add the expression of my belief that habits of intemperance cannot be extirpated by prohibitory liquor laws. They are not consistent witii sound principles of legislation. Ld:e decrees to regulate religious creeds or forms of worship, they provoke resistance where they arc designed to enforce obedience. The effort (o suppress intemperance bv unusual and arbitrary measures, proves that thc Legislature is aUenintinir to do th

in claiming for my co-religionists in Turkey the conformation of the rights and privileges which they have long acquired at tiie price of Russian blood, I claimed nothing which was not confirmed by treaties. If the Porte had been left to herself, the didereiice which has so long kept Europe in suspense would have been solved: A fatal influenco has thrown everything into confusion. By provoking gratuitous suspicions, by exciting the fanaticism of the Turks, and by deceiving their government as to my intentions and thc real scopeof my demands, it lias so exaggerated the extent of the questions, that the probablo result seems to be war. Your Majesty must allow me not to enter too much in detail into the circumstances as they present themselves to you in your letter, in which those circumstances are marked out. Several acts on my part, appreciated with little accuracy, according to my opinion, and more than one fact perverted, would require, in order to be properly rectified, at least as conceive, long developments, into which it would not be proper to enter in a correspondence between Sovereign and Sovereign. For instance, your Majesty attributes to the occupation of the Principalities the evil of having suddenly transported tiie question from the region of discussion to that of fact but vour Majestv leaves out of view the circumstances that this occupation, still purely conditional,, was preceded, awd in great measure caused, by a very important previous fact—tin? appearanco of the combined fleet in the vicinity of the Dardanelles and besides 111 is, much before that period, when England hesitated to assume a hostile attitude,
