The Clinton Speeches. Last week we published a condensed report of the speeches, delivered at the Clinton' Reform demonstration, on the. 5th inst. The space in our regular sheet would not permit of our tloing more than this. This week we publish, in supple- ment forni, a full report of the several speeches delivered. Our readers will thus have an opportunity of perusing those speeches at their leisure, and if they desire, laying them by for future reference. The Opposition press have loudly condemned the speech of the Premier, for being abusive and. super- ficial A more unfounded charge could not be made, as our readers can now see for themselves that a more calm, thought- ful, and argumentative address could scarcely have been put together. We are also safe in stating that a very large majority of the charges made against the Premier, and emanating from the same source, are equally inaccurate. The Disturbance in Montreal. The events which took place in Mon- treal, on the Twelfth of 9uly, cannot fail to be cause for deep regret to every peace and order -loving citizen of the Dominion. For several days previously it was gen- erally believed. that if the Orangemen walked in. procession there would be a dieturbance. In view of the threats which had. been used, and the fear of trouble which generally- pervaded all classes, the,Orangemen at the last mo- ment consented to forego the right of parading the streets of Montreal in pro- cession, and decided. to celebrate the day simply by attending church. This con- cession, in the interestsef peace and or- der, although made at the argent solicita- tions of other classes of 'citieens, was most creditable to the self-denial of the members of the Orange 'organization of Montreal. This action, also, brings them now much sympathy from outside quarters, that they would not receive had they persisted in carrying out their original programme. When, therefore, the Orangemen made so great a sacrifice in the interests of peace as to desist from celebrating the day in the usual manner, which was a great sacrifice on their part, it might well be thought that they should not be molested iin any way. This, however, was not to be, as will be seen from the report of the proceedings in Montreal. That it was not is, no doubt, as deeply regretted by a large majority of the Roman Catholics as by the Orangemen.. Bat, as every person knows, there is in all large cities a body of men whose actions are ruled entirely by their passions instead of by reason. It was this section, of the Catholic popu- lation of Montreal that caused all the trouble. They were bound to have a fight. They expected the Orangemen would give them a pretext for creating a row, and when they did. not do this, they were only made the more. unreason- able and determined. In defiance of the admonitions of their respectable and or- der -loving co -religionists, and disregard- ing the orders of their religious superiors, they organieed in mobs,- and ruthlessly assaulted quiet and peaceable citizens, for no reason other than that they possessed a different religious faith, or that they belouged to an organizatitin which was dietasteful to them. For such conduct no punishment can be too severe, and we are sure that none will rejoice more heartily at seeing the offenders punished than the respectable members ' of the Catholic Church. Bat, even had the Orangemen been in procession, that would be no excuse or justification for an attack being made on them: As the law now stands, any sect, organization or so- ciety has a perfect right to walk along public streets, either in procession or otherwise, so long as they do not dis- turb the peaue, and the authorities of the law are bound to protect them in the exercise of this right. So that, even had the Orangemen of Montreal carried out their intention to have a procession, that would not have been an excuse for as- saulting them, much less then is the ex- cuse for those who made the assault without the provocation even of a pro- cession. The authorities of Montreal, also, seem to have been most blame- worthy. In fact, the authorities are more to blame for their inaction, than were the ignorant and riotous rabble that disturbed. the peace. It is almost incredulous that in a city with a strong police force, such as that possessed by Montreal, that crowds of the lowest roughs of the city should for hours be permitted to congregate in groups on the public streets, without one single effort being made to disperse them. Had the authorities done their duty, and dispers- ed the gathering crowds as they came to- gether, which they could easily have done, the • dist rbance would h ve beet averted, one taluable life would have been spared, a d incalculable bitterness and anirnosityj between two classeis of the communit would not have bee en- gendered. Ineed, it wouli almost eem from their acti‘ns that the authoriti s of Montreal were in. league With the mob who disturbed the peace. If the cit zens of Montreal, both Catholic and Prs tes- -tent, value th ir future we 1-beMg, they will unite in endeavoring to have this shameful deli quency on the part o the officials of th city thoroughly in esti- gated and pun shed as it deserves.

FROM WEDNESDAY'S DESFATCHES. The poeition of affairs in end around the Balkans is assuming a critical aspect for the Turks, and in the men of the Quadrilateral the latter also ppear to be sorely pressed. Twenty-tw ' thousand Russians have crossed the B Ikans,.and theirforce dot the country f r miles on either sicle,of this mountain us barrier. From predent indications th Russians app a,r to have three points o attacks on Rumelia, viz., the Shipka pass to the wes , of their advance line, he Chenga pass; to the east, and the de le south of Deniirkapu in the centre. y the two latter they are marching upozi Aidos and Yanboli, and it is even prObable that they have succeeded in forcing a passage from Demirkapu to Islamic* and Yeni Zaghra. The Shipka pass doomed, as well as the Turkish force holding it. In front a fierce struggle is. going on at Drenova, and General Gourk° has suc- ceeded in. passing to the rear', and now threatens Kezanlik. A great battle is re- ported to have been fought twelve miles from Yeni Aaghra, in which l4ie Russians were defeated and driven ba k into the Balkan fastnesses. In Bulgaria, between the Balkans and the Da ube, the Russians. 'occupy the 1road from Bela to Terstenik, and are . gradually closing up around Rustchuk. They also threaten Basgrad, half-wa . between Rustchuk and Sh.umla, and a e fast cut- ting into the Quadrilareral: The cap- ture of Nikopoli, which is no( in ashes, has Proved a most importan advantage to them, as they are now able to secure their base of supplies, and to hasten the the transportation of troop, as well as supplies, by unimpeded cross'ngs of the Danube over the new bridges to be con- structed in that vicinity. While they pursue their advance southward the line of the river in the rear will be guarded by the Roumanian army, ho, it has been decided, will take no ac we part in the campaign. In the westj the Rus- sians are also marching upon Widin, and their advance guard; when last_ heard from, was at Lom Palanka, thirty miles by road from that place. In 1he east the Turks have abandoned the T hernavoda Kustendji line of defence; M djidie and Mangolia have fallen into th� hands of " the Russians, and the latte1are' now south of Silistria, which will be. block- aded . by cutting the Quadrilateral itt two and protecting communications with the Danube. ' The disastrous news from the Balkans has had such an effect upon the Sultan that he is now reported to incline favor- ably towards peace, and even to have given WamykiPa.sha,• at Shurula, instate - tions looking to negotiations for a ter- mination of hostilities. The Softas are • clamorous for the proclamation of a hole war, but this the Porte has deferred un- til the Russians threaten Adrianople, an event which, from present appearances, is by no means distant. 1 , I From 'Asia comes the irnjiortant in- telligence' that all the tri es of the , Caucasus have risen ia revelt against Russia, and have capturled allthe impor- tant outposts. Melikoff, the Russian General in command near Kars, is en- trenching himself at Barakdar andawait- ing an attack. Should. he b defeated, the Turks will press on tp Tiflis and Alex- andropol on Russian territor . The cape ture of Bayazid by the tlFurkt is now be- yond a doubt. FROM THURSDAY'S bISPACHES. The news from the seat of war is un- usually meagre this Morning, and no fresh operations ate teported. Along the Balkans, on the north side, the Ruse sians occupy positions of the passes at Demirkapu and Chenga, ated on the south eide of the , mountains General' Gourko is at or near Kezanlik, baying cleverly slipped behind Raced • Pasha,' while the letter was engaged. with an at- tacking patty thrown forward as a feint.' Raouf is now encamped at Slimnol (Islamdji),1where, owing to the numeri- cal inferiority of his command, he is compelled ito act on the defensive until the arrival of Suleiman Pasha who he within three days' march. There is no, other intelligence ' from Bulgaria, with the exception of the commencement of the Russian occupation of Kustendji, on the Black Sea. In Armenia the Russians continue their retreat to Kurukdara and Alexandropol. General Melikoff is at Yenikei, four miles to the north of the Turkish centre. From Conetaptinople the resignation of Safvet Pasha as . Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, is announced. He is succeeded by Aarief Pasha, a mem- ber of the Old.
