SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1854. 
NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
The week's news is warlike, but it does not come from 
the quarter whence some of our more enthusiastic con- 
temporaries expeeteil it. Our own anticipation that the 
rumour of Sir Charles Napier being; about to attack 
( ’ronstndt would prove unfounded, has been confirmed by 
the information that the fleets had retired to a consider- 
able distance from that locality. Sir Charles is, we 
doubt not, waiting- for the arrival of the lnu4 forces from 
France, 
The Emperor Louis Napoleon suddenly made his ap- 
pearance at Boulogne, to inspect the soldiery destined 
for the Baltic service, and, having reviewed them, ad- 
dressed them in a parting speech of much feeling, 
apprising them that they had been selected for the noble 
duty of first bearing the eagles of France to the North. 
The Emperor’s progress to Calais to see the Frencli 
soldiers embark in English ships (the first time that 
modern history records such a fraternization) proves tho 
interesting sequel to his movements, which show how 
warmly lie, at least, is concerned in the vigorous pro- 
motion of the war. 
Once more the gallant Moslems have covered them- 
selves with glory, and have defeated the Russians in a 
regular battle. The Turks have crossed the Danube at 
Rustchuk, have beaten General Seymonoff in a fierce 
conflict, have slaughtered about a thousand of his trqpps, 
and are in possession of Giurgevo. Assuredly tlio 
Anglo-French armies must fight well if they intend to 
share any of the laurels of the campaign. It is worthy 
of note that the veteran Paskiewitsch, who has served 
the Emperor faithfully and successfully for many years, | 
and who was compelled to take the command in recent 
transactions, has paid the penalty of not being able to 
perform impossibilities, and has been sent to his estates 
iu disgrace. So docs Nicholas treat one of the ablest of 
his generals, pour cncouragcr les autres. 
Lord John Russell announced on Thursday night, i 
that a strict blockade of the Danube had been esta- 
blished, but that discussion had arisen between the 
Admirals, our Ambassador, and the Government, as to 
the proposed blockade of the ports in the Black Sea, anti 
that of Azoff*, and that the decision of the admioistra- I 
tion had been sent out to Constantinople, and would be 
duly notified. Sir James Graham also stated that the 
blockade of the White Sea would begin ou the first of 
August. 
Some sensation has been caused by the presence in 
England of a Russian subject, Count Pahlen, whose 
father's name was connected with one of the most terrible 
catastrophes in Russian royal history. It has been as- 
sumed that the Count is an emissary of the Czar, but 
this has been denied, both in print and in the House <>t 
Lords. Mr. Isaac Butt, however, placed upon the 
paper of the House of Commons a notice of a resolution 
to the effect, that the encouraging the visits of alien I 
enemies is unconstitutional and dangerous. This is, ol 
course, intended as a hit nt the Ministers, one of whom, , 
Lord Granville, has especially shown attention to the 
Count. If the discussion should come on at all, it will 
do so too late for notice iu any but our late edition. 
There has been no Parliamentary event of much 
interest, except that the Divorce Bill has been with- 
drawn, and the benefit it was intended to confer . 
upon the middle classes is still reserved for the rich i 
only. We may also except a smart passage ot I 
arms between Mr. Disraeli and Lord John Russell l 
on Thursday night, when the former took advantage ot I 
an Irish debate to deliver one of his sarcastic onslaught- I 
1 upon the Administration, and was compassionately jop* 
1 priced by the latter, that his, Mr. Disraeli’s position, wa* 
a very peculiar one, that liis respectable party compelled 
him to do what was right upon important matters, and 
he was driven to lie in waitfor stray motions when he d<- 
sired to gratify his feelings by assailing the Government- 
It is not thought that the prorogation can take place 
before the second week in August, notwithstanding that J 
the Fords have made such exemplary tyste to get through
