WE eommunicate to our readers to-day in fiwination which we have every reason to believe authentic, and the importance of which all will acknowledge, though conflicting interpretations may be placed upon its tenor. The Austrian Gorerimient has appealed to her M►jestys Government to make with it, as a service to Russia, who lbws not heave?, choose to originate the snyyestion, ($ joint proposition fi►r an armistice between the Turkish and Russian forces dieting the winter. There arc some who may look upon this incident as the herald of a peaceful solution of the startling difficulties with which our foreign relations have become involved under the Coalition Ministry. If by a peaceful solution they mean an arrangement in the spirit of the Vienna note, an arrange ment which will secure to Russia all that she requires at present, and prepare fin• Russia all that she intends to accomplish iu the future, we doubt not difficulties to such a settlement will not arise on the part of the Court of St. Petersburg. But there will be no pacific solution which involves any substantial devia tion from Russian policy, and the only result of armistices and conferences will lie that Russia will gain time, and at the cost of Turkey. It may be quite true that, when the able Ruler of Russia took his first step, he dli►l not contemplate the war that has broken out. Ile u►ight well not have contemplate►l it. because the assuranees and representat . s, the opinions and the feelings, of Lord AHERUEEN 111114 have convinced him that all he /13, this 111101111ellt I.`tillill'il would have been obtained without fore. The ulterior objects of the Emperorof 111t . .451A, when Prince MEN:44'IIIKM., was sent tAb kiliOWll to AHLILI/LEN, alll4l had 'Well 101111.; kIi4)WII to 1.01'41 AIit:RM.:EN. It tility I.e very eonvenient. for the tionee, to deny this statement, and very easy to do so for such organs " those whose shantele:s ineonsisteileies c beets the wonder and laughing-stoek of Europe the last six months. Tho,,e who tell 4)11 one day that " the lin:is:int soldiers are dying like eoekronehes," and on the next that Turkey, if it presumes to rebist this hobt o Sennaeherib, will be swept front the vitro of Europe, may, with equal audacity, and with as authentic inNtrUctions. contradict our state ment ; but it is true, and its truth will in due tune be acknowledged, even by those who now with hysteric recklessness rush forward to repudiate it. 'There are other people who represent the Emp,eror of all the liusstAs itt London and at besides M. de BRUNoW and M. de liotst:LurF. This may mot be known to everybody, but it is at least known to Lord ABERDEEN. M'e r•el►t'at, then, that the course pursued by Russia at Constantinople in the spring wits one long matured, had been communicated to Lord ABERDEEN, had been sanctioned by his appro bation, hall been looked forward to as one of the contributory means to the expulsion of the Turks from l'airtgae—which in conversation, in conkrenee, and in writiltg, l.t►rtl ABERut:EN, itt various periods of his eilreer, 111141 not tautly al►- proved, but encouraged. The Emperor of llessu, therefore, with Lord ABERDEEN as Prhne Minister, hail no reason to count upon war, but, having encountered that emergency, he will not la•ove uncapial to it. Thew. is a great distinction tat be noted be tween the position tat' the Emperor Nteuta.mt with reference to eat Tying taut the imperial scheme of PETER the lilt EAT, and the positions of CATHERINE Itlld ALEXANDER in the same respect. Their means to obtain the hereditary object were simply iso/itica/.
