That the intelligence, so far, is correct, we see no reason to doubt. Peace may be the result of the Czar's concurrence in the terms which the Western Powers have transmitted to St. Petersburc , through the medium of the Court of Vienn a , but as yet we look upon such a result as far, very far, from a matter of certainty- What does Russia's acceptance of the propositions bind her to Literally nothing beyond the fact that she is willing to negotiate anew with the view of putting an end to the war. The very idea of ne gotiation implies that differences of opinion exist between the belligerent Powers; and all that the Czar commits himself to by his present proceedings is, to intimate hie willingness to discuss the points with France and England on which ho and they are at variance, with a view to their adjustment. With regard to the issue of the negotiations to be based on the Austrian proposals, that is a matter on which no one can have any certain knowledge. Opinions on the subject can bo no better than conjecture. We have no data on which to go, no means of arriving at any certain conclusion. What Russia has done before she may do again ; and what is more, she will not hesitate to do, should it appear likely to answer her purpose. No one, we presume, can have already forgotten the Vienna Four Points. These were accepted as a basis of negotiation by Russia in precisely the sable way as she has accepted the Austrian propositierifi now. Then, as now, the universal conviction was that peace w as cert ain, and that all that re mained to do was to arrange the minor details by a Con ference of the Powers especially interested in the issues of the war. We all know the result. The Conference not only ended without bringing about an adjustment of dif ferences, but it actually made matters worse. It left them in a more entangled state than it found them. Nor will it surprise us much, knowing what we do on the one hand of the cunning of Russia, and of the insincerity of Aus tria on the other, should it eventually be found that the Czar has, in this instance, as in the case of the Four Points, professed to accept the terms offered to him, merely in the expectation that he will, by his superior diplomatic crafti ness, and the treachery of Austria, contrive to obtain by negotiation much better terms than those embraced in the Austrian propositions. Should he fail in this, and still imagine that he has any chance left of triumphing at the cannon's mouth, he will find no difficulty in bringing the negotiations to an abrupt close, without, in reality, agree ing to anything which would afford a sere guarantee for th integrity of Turkey and the future tranquillity of Europe. We cannot for a moment imagine, much as , we have often had to condemn their conduct in the past manage ment of the war, that they will listen to any proposals which may come from St. Petersburg through Austria, or any other channel, for an armistice. That would be the greatest error of all—so huge and so glaring, that we could never bring ourselves to ascribe it to a defect of judgment. The country would attribute it to a criminal motive. But we cannot apprehend any such contingency. The people would not endure so grave an experiment on their patience. (Front the Morning Chronicle.) As far as we at present know, all that Russia has done has been to accept unconditionally the Austrian Scheme as " a basis for negotiation." That is to say, she admits the general principls embodied in that " ultimatum," and will make the best terms for herself about the details. We should be sorry to discredit a cause of which we have not on general grounds been the advocates ; but the public should be slow to assume, that because Russia has done this, therefore the possibility of future war is precluded. The reader will not have forgotten, that at the commencement of the last Vienna negotiations Russia took precisely the same attitude, and that she obtained credit for a desire to make peace, on the strength of her adhesion to tie " Foist. Points." Yet what came of these negotiations? Nothing but disappointment to Europe, and humiliation to the Alliee. The discussions were only a series of dissolving views; and so ashamed were the British people of the part wlaich their Representatives were made to play, that we aro astonished at the readiness with which they have re ceived ,'ccounts of the proceedings of Russia, which may at last prove as delusive as those which led them away a year since. It is, however, satisfactory to know that this second con• cession of priucip!e by Russia has been made under cir cumstances inspiring more confidence. The connsellers of the Czar know perfectly well that their former proceedings had rendered the diplomatic honour of Russia suspected throughout Europe ; so that even Austria at last sum• moned resolution enough to demand a plain categorica answer. Under these circus - sstances, although there will doubtless be more than the average amount of diplomatic finesse and evasion, we do not anticipate a repetition of the grave and insulting mockery that characterised Prince Gortschakoff's proceedings at the last 'Vienna Conference. Whatever is disputed will be formularised in plain and in telligible language, and when the result is ascertained — whatever that may be—it will not be a snare for the honest opinion of Europe. It will he difficult yet to ascertain the probable effect of this new phase of the question on our own domestic poli tics. The suspicious ambiguity of Mr. Disraeli's attitudes shuts us out from the ordinary means of calculation. If we were to argue from the general tone of his supposed organ, we should anticipate that the session of Parliament would open calmly, and that no efforts would be made to embarrass the Government while the negotiations were still pending. Under any circumstances, it seems highly improbable, if not impossible, that peace could actually be concluded before the commencement of the session, or even that the terms could be generally understood. If we were speculating on the expected conduct of any other party in the State, or any other statesman, it would be easy to pre dict the future ; but, with such a party and such a chief, what would it be safe to assume? Undoubtedly the pa triotic course, under such circumstances, would be to afford to the Minister of the day every possible aid, in order that he might be enabled to extricate the country with honour fro ß m ut tb a ° re w t a b r. e Tories in a position to afford such patriot ism ? Does not this intelligence put them almost hors-de combat ? Have they not—at least their chiefs—staked their all upon a favourite policy, and do they not now find the chances are against them ? The intelligence that peace had virtually been agreed upon has long ere this diffused joy throughout the country. Is that satisfaction shared in by Mr. Disraeli, and the ambitious few around him who have of late been scheming to eject Lord Palmerston from office ? We speak not of the great bulk of the country gen tlemen who constitute so large a portion of the Tory party. They, we feel assured, are true to their duty. Even the honourable gentleman who is last enrolled among them— the son of the late Colonel Sibthorp--speaks the language of chivalrous England, not that of mere political tricksters and gamblers. But there is every reason to believe, that whatever pleasure nri.y have been communicated to the English he,irt by the news of yesterday, it has not pene trated to the region of Grosvenor-gate. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES,.—It is rumoured that the new art now in preparation by Government for the in corporation and regulation of joint-stock companies contains a clause which will increase by defining the re sponsibilities of directors. It is E4/6,1 that every director shall he held to be acquainted with all acts of the board anti also that every director shall be responsible for the truth of the statements which they put forth. if they say that the railway has made a profit, or that a bank has assets to meet its engagements, they are to be held responsible to all parties interested for the truth of what they thus publish--Shipping Gazette. THE ATTEMPTED CLOTH ROBBERY AT Cum - MELD. — On Wednesday an inquest was held at the Leeds Court House, before Mr. Blackburn, borough coroner, on the body of David Steel, who had died from a gun-shot wound received during a struggle which took place on Sunday morning last, on the premises of Messrs. Crowther and Co., woollen cloth manufacturers, of Churwell, between a gang of thieves and a number of watchers.

The Act of Parliament of the last Session affords an oppor tunity of applying the principle of Limited Liability to a purpose most proper for joint action—the entertainment and amusement of the people of this great Metropolis, and of the strangers and visitors constantly resorting thereto. London is singularly deficient in places of amusement, to which the public can resort at all times, and in all weathers, with a certainty of finding entertainment worthy of the search. This deficiency, it is,sought, by this Company, to supply. The Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens afford the only ground, within a reasonable and easily accessible distance of the heart of London, that can be obtained for the purposes of such a Company. They are situate within one mile and a quarter fro al any of the Bridges--they are easy of access, both from the East and West End of London—their extent, of more than ten acres, is sufficient : a lake of considerable size, and well-grown ornamental trees, add variety, and afford opportunity for ornamental gardening ; and, even in their present condition, they are unrivalled for their open air entertainments. But the public require accommodation beyond 'that which any single proprietor would venture to give. The application of capital, with a liberal but judicious (alley, is imperatively called for—and now, by the Limited Liability Act, no danger can accrue to the parties supply ing it. It is proposed to erect buildings of character and magni bade to command the attention of the public—comprising a Music Hall for the performance of Vocal and Instrumental Music, capable of accommodating 10,000 people, and avail able for Public Meetings, Fancy Fairs, Floricultural and floricultural Exhibitions, Winter sad Summer Fetes of every kind. To this Music Hall will be added Saloons for Refreshment, and all needful appurtenances; Galleries to view the Exhi bition of Fireworks ; Conservatories for choice Plants, Aviaries for the display of beautiful and nre birds, and Aquaria fer the exhibition of marine plants and fishes, ar. ao as to be at all times accessible, in buildings shel tered from the weather; whilst Exhibi ions of various kinds will be introduced in the Gardens, affording amnsentent and variety. Tim'eminentil cervices of Mons. JULLIEN have been se oured, on advantageous terms, for a period of five years. Ills Acknowledged skill and popularity as a Conductor assure the success of this department. The Orchestra will be on a grand scale, and will include all the most eminent performers of the day. Vocal talent, of the very highest order, will be engaged. The Artistic departments of Painting and Fireworks will be confided to the most celebrated men, and the Refresh ments will be of a quality hitherto unequalled, at moderate prices. - Calculations, made with every attention, have led the pro moters to believe that the sum of 40,0001. will be ample to complete all that is requisite. The Plans and Estimates have been carefully prepared, and the intentions of the Promoters will be carried out by eminent Contractors. No commercial enterprise of the present day affords such certainty of success, with so large a prospect of profit. The estimated revenue to be derived has been calculated upo,n practical experience of what the Gardena have produced, ana upon the increased receipts which increased amount of at traction must bring. Application for Shares may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 25, Golden-square ; to the Com mittee of Management, at their residences ; or at the Royal Surrey Gardens ; and a large portion of the capital being already subscribed for, early application is desirable. Immediately upon the allotment of Shares, and payment of Deposit, a General Meeting of the Shareholders will be called, to appoint the Directors, Solicitor, and Officers of the Com,F. parry ; thus avoiding favouritism, and insuring a Direction possessing tho confidence of the Shareholders.

Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &A. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con. ,aquences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man good, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any :ther class of disease known to modern pathologists. its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there ar: principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there Is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional• ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. Tha Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those ee be are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Over the sounds of warlike preparation but yesterday resounding from one end of this laborious island to the other has fallen a sudden lull, and the haniiner of the an:not - 11.es in uplifted and the hand of the ship carpenter is stayed, while they listen with wonder and surprise to the unexpected tidings of peace- We have become indurated to a state of war, and it seems now almost as impossible for England to fall back into the old pacifl routine of the last forty years as it appeared two years ago for her to shake off the peaceful habits and associations which those forty years hail created. Nor would it, we suspect, be perfectly true to say that the country hails the prospect so suddenly offered of a return to peace with unmixed and unalloyed satisfaction. No one is so inhuman as to argue for war in the abstract, but there are a great many, we suspeet, who think that its continuance for another year would have more of good than of evil. Our preparations are so vast, our army and Navy are assuming so much more promising an aspect than before, and the power of Russia is so visibly reduced and shaken, that we might reasonably hope at the end of another campaign not only to dictate terms much more favourable, but to have for them the best of all possible guarantees—the utter exhaus tion and prostration of our adversary. In such cases, how ever, it is wise to propitiate that Nemesis which is so apt to wait on those whose overweening expectations of future good fortune render them blind to the opportunities of the present, and to close our hand upon that certain success which is within its grasp, rather than open it to snatch at some fortune more alluring, but also snore doubtful and dangerous. To be delivered from the continually recur ring catalogues of slaughter, from the rapid increase of our n ational debt, from the prospect of a ten per cent. income tax, and a constant derangement cf our monetary system ; to curb effectually the insolence and aggression of a Power which two years ago would only condescend to answer our earnest remonstrating by a haughty and expressive silence, treating them, to use the metaphor of the Empress Cathe rine, " as the moon does the wolves that bay at her," — these aro advantages so solid and substantial that we would not change them for the most brilliant future that ever allus eel and deluded the visionary or the enthusiast. Let us only bo sure that we have got what we ask for, and we shall bear with much philosophy the loss of all the fine thins that another year of war might bring its. We would, however, caution the public against the per suasion that the telegraphic messages of our correspondents at Vienna and Berlin, and that poste 1 by the French Go vernment on the Paris Bourse, necessarily imply what their words certainly, taken in their literal souse, would fairly comprehend—that all the propositions upon which the Allies insist have been unconditionally accepted by Russia. The terms of the fifth proposition are general, and do not necessarily include the undertaking not to for tify the Aland Isles, any more than any other the Allies might think fit to make. We do not believe that this re quisition has yet been specifically submitted to Russia, end, whatever may be the probabilities of the case, we are certainly not justified in saying that she has uncondition ally accepted it. Two other terms on which we must pe remptorily insist—the disarming of the eastern coast of the Black Sea, and the allowing Consuls of the Western Powers to reside in the Russian ports on its waters—have been only slightly and ambiguously mentioned. Why this is so we do not know. That is the concern of Austria. We are not principals in the negotiation, but have employed the mediation of a third Power, whose duty it is to see that Russia be brought to an unconditional acceptance of our terms, with all their stipulations, before we enter into ne gotiation. We do not believe for a moment that these things are likely to offer permanent obstacles to the con clusion of peace, but our readers must remember that the announcement is that of an Austrian, not of an English diplomatist, and that he speaks from a point of view not always identical with our own. again, what does Russia mean by an unconditional ac ceptance ? Wo have held an acceptance of hers before, and have some experience how coolly she can dishonour it. Other despatches from Vienna speak of the terms being accepted as the bases of negotiation. Logically, there is no distinction between the two, for the foundation on which a negotiation rests must be accepted unconditionally, or they are no foundations at all. We must begin somewhere, and that with which we begin must be unconditional ; but we have some experience how Russia understands these things when wo remember that last year she undertook to do away with her preponderance in the Black Sea, and could be brought to assent to no means of carrying out this condition which did not tend directly to defeat it. We do not believe, as we have said, that any of these difficulties will really be allowed to interfere with that peace which the Court of St. Petersburg seems to have determined to be necessary to its interest, but merely wish to cool the ardour of those oversanguine spirits who may infer that everything is already done, and that nothing remains for England and France but to ring their bells, light their bonfires, and pay the bill. Nothing should induce us to relax for a single moment in our preparations until all the stipulations we have men tioned have been clearly and unequivocally put by Aus tria, and as clearly and unequivocally conceded. e must remember that by the pressure we have put upon Russia, and not by the mediation of Austria, has the present happy alteration in our circumstances been brought about, and that, if we would preserve the advantages of our posi tion, it can only be done by a constant adhesion to the very means by which that change has been produced. Let Russia once see reason to believe that we have allowed the hopes of ease and tranquillity to unnerve our vigilance and disarm our courage, and the whole work must be done over again, for she will assuredly find means to wriggle out of the concessions she has made, and to resume her o/d atti tude of haughtiness and defiance. The way to obtain peace is to make our adversary feel thoron,ghly:—What is, indeed, no more than the truth—how much more necessary that peace is to her than it is to us. We have tried reason and remonstrance with no effect, have tried vigour and action with the most encouraging results. By energetic action we have compelled the enemy to negotiate ; by a continu ance of that energy and that action we shall bring those negotiations to a happy result. It is the common error of historians to attribute in these matters too much to the talents of plenipotentiaries, and too little to the relative force of the contracting States. No negotiator was more successful than Charles XII., before the battle of Pultawa, or Napoleon before the expedition to Moscow, for their arguments were backed by their bayonets, and faults in their logic passed unnoticed amid the thunder of their cannon. After these signal reverses they negotiated with equal talent but entirely different success, for the power that gave force to their propositions was gone. Now, then, if ever in the course of the war, it is necessary to push on those preparations which are required for the efficiency of our sea and land forces in the next campaign. Never be fore was that necessity so urgent, never would the effects of any relaxation or remissness be so immediately felt. We have the goal in sight, and that ought t o i n d uce us rather to double than remit our exertions. By obsorving this line of conduct we shall either have gained the noblest victory—a solid and lasting peace, or be in a position to inspire those who shall have withheld it from us with a still more durable repentance. (From the Morning Post of this day.) We have now reached a most important stage in the highway to peace ; and, if we persevere in the same steady and resolute course that we hail hitherto followed with [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• such success, we may hope for a speedy and satisfactory termination. Austria has honourably accomplished the special mission with which she charged herself, and having stood firm in her determination, has the satisfaction of seeing tier ulti matum accepted, pur et simple, by Russia, as a basis for negotiation. This result has been brought about by the pressure of the Cabinet of Vienna, and of the Courts of Germany; and we think it is also plain, by the conviction which must have forced itself upon the mind of Russia, that it is almOst impossible for her successfully to with stand another campaign. Entirely dependent upon her own resources, with no sincere friend, she would have to face the increasing power of England and France, rein forced, as they, maybe too, by new allies. We have now,"then, gained a great point. The Aus trian proposals, all five ' are accepted, and Russia is impli citly bound by them. The public learn this with satis faction. The funds rise with the hopes of peace, and the next step is eagerly inquired after and looked forward to. When and where are negotiations to be oommenced upon the bases now agreed to, is a question universally asked. It is of much importance that it should be rightly under stood that the proceeding which has had sohappy an issue in determining Russia to make large and important con cessions is an Austrian proceeding, and that the five pro posals, as accepted by Russia, do not contain on the face of them all that the Western 'Powers consider necessary for their safe entrance upon negotiation. When the Cabi net of Vienna applied to Englandand France to know the terms upon which they would consent to make peace with Russia, a 'direct and distinct reply was given. Upon that reply Austria founded the proposals which Russia has accepted; but she has not represented to the Czar the whole an exact tenor of our demands, and it would not be fair in us, nor indeed just, either to' Ourselves or to Rus sia, to enter upon discussion before the preliminaries have been arranged so clearly and unmistakeably that Rus sia, on the one hand, may not have it in her power to pre tend that we have entrapped her into negotiation without making her fully aware of their insport-nor we, ort,the other, be open to the manceuvres of the adroit diplomacy whiCh has already, in former instances, so cleverly amused our Ministers. To take an example. In the Austrian proposals the name of the Aland Islands is never mentioned, but never theless, we believe it will be found that Lord Clarendon had emphatically stated to the Cabinet of 'Vienna that we must insist upon Russia's binding herself not to rebuild Bomarsu.nd. This resolve, justifiable on the grounds of military success, and requisite as a matter of high import to the well-being of Europe, becomes imperative, when it is remembered that we have only recently concluded an alliance with Sweden, and that it is our bounden duty not to leave our Ally at the mercy of Russia, nor to permit the re-erection of a huge and menacing fortress within one hundred miles of Stockholm. Under these circumstances, then, it will be the duty of the Belligerents, before the negotiations can be entered upon, to signify their intentions to Russia, and to require her acceptance of proposals totally free from the possibility of misinterpretation. These proposals, we trust, will have the support of Austria and the German Powers, and will, we are confident, meet with the acceptance at St. Peters burg, if Russia be now really alive to her own interests, and anxious for the welfare of Europe. If they are ac cepted, then negotiation will follow, but not at Vienna, nor Paris, nor London. All preliminaries being once satis factorily adjusted, some more fit place will be appointed for the conduct of Conferences. In the meanwhile we must keep our energies braced up, and relax not one iota of the prodigious exertions that are being made for the spring campaign. This, we are con vinced, is the soul of successful negotiation. The voice of Europe is in our favour—our resources are immense—our armaments of greater magnitude than ever. Let us then hope that Russia will follow up the good course upon which she has entered, and that, recognising the isolation of her position, and the hopelessness of her c ause, she may accept all that necessary, and no more than is just ; and that, by frankly yielding to our demands, she may spare the nation the horrors of further bloodshed, and inaugurate a safe and lasting peace, which will be nowhere more sin cerely welcomed than in England. ( Front the Morning Herald of this day.) It would appear that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has re-considered its reported rejection of the Austrian pro posals, and has gone the length oven of surrendering the terms contended for in its recent counter propositions. The despatch in the 7 bees, although dated from Vienna, concludes with " This is authentic." Wo are, however, too well acquainted with authentic canards proceeding from the same source, and too much accustomed to the confident tone of our contemporary when he has least ground for confidence, to place implicit reliance, in the absence of corroboration, upon the statement before us. At the same time, we are by no means prepared to assert that the report of Russia's concession is devoid of founda tion, but if we incline to the belief that she has at length closed with the proposals of the allies, it is from a conside ration of the nature of those proposals themselves, and not from any belief in the source from whence the information of that event has been derived. Russia well knows that the terms recently offered are the very best she could possibly have hoped for, and the states men who surround the Czar are sufficiently acute to see that they present no real bar to the future pursuit and de velopeaiont of that policy which Russia has so long and so steastily worked out with the resolution of destiny. The chances of another campaign might—nay they certainly would—leave her far less confident than she finds herself at the close of the recent campaign, and far less able to resist the pressure which would infallibly be brought to bear against her. The adhesion of the secondary states of Europe to the cause of the allies would be, if the war lasted, but a question of time. Wo do not believe—we never did believe—th:st Austria would in any case take up arms to redeem her plighted honour, much less that she would do so simply in the interest of Europe and civilisation ; but it was manifest that considerable time must elapse before the German powers could be driven out of the neutral and un -dignified attitude they have assumed, if, indeed, they contemplated in any event its relinquishment. Russia sees, and must for souse time have seen, that the league against her would increase formidably—that the free states of Europe had discovered more than a tendency to gravi tate towards the Western powers. Without question the war has begun to toll most seriously on her internal eco nomy, and although her resources are vast they are by no means inexhaustible. Her nobles are discontented—her soil is unfilled—her population swept to supply now and extensive levies—her trade has suffered, not to the ex tent it might 11%1'0 suffered, for one of her enemies, at least, did not care to cripple her in that respect ; and her obsequious vassal at Berlin has taken care that ho would turn his neutrality to a friendly as well as a profitable ac count. On a cahner view, therefore, of her case—her con dition and her prospects —Russia must have seen that she could only continue 4;1 - ss war at, the cost of eventual pros tration, and that to support I„zer prestige for a short period she was paying the penalty of' national rufu. (From the Daily News of this day.) How near is Peace ? The exact tenor of the answer re• turned by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to the overture from Vienna must be known before this question can be answered. According to the telegraphic despatches from Vienna and Dresden, " Russia has accepted uncondi tionally the Austrian proposals ;" according to the Parisian version, Russia has merely conceded that " the proposi tions forwarded by Austria ought to serve as the prelimi naries of peace." We have reason to believe that the des patch from Paris, though not very clearly worded, ap proaches more nearly than those from Vienna and Dres den, to the terms of the message received by the English Government. Russia, we aro given to u nderstand, has only aecepted the Austrian proposala 55 the basis of nego tiations. In like manner Russia accepted, last year, " the four points" as the basis of negotiations. We do not mean to imply that the cases are exactly parallel. If we are to h a v e Conferences in 1856 as we had in 1855, it is to be loped that the Allies will insist upon their being held in Paris or London instead of Vienna ; or in Brussels if it is deemed necessary that they be held in a neutral state. But even if the Allies are weak enough to allow them to be hold once more in Vienna, England will be much more efficiently represented there than she was last year. It must also,be admitted that the " proposals" of the Court of Vienna are more precise than " the four points." The proposals do not admit of the same amount of cavil and mystification on the part of Russia as did the four points. It must be borne in mind, however, that there is a Postscript to the Austrian proposals, which may enable Russia to open up a series of interminable discussions. "The belligerent Powers reserve their right to produce, in the interest of Europe, some special conditions beside the four guatantees: h Since the Austrian proposals were framed the relative position of the belligerents have under gone some change, through the publication of the defensive alliance between Sweden artd the Western rowers, the announcement of the fall of Kars, and the failure of Omer Pasha's expedition in Mincrelia. If Russia has only agreed to negotiate on the basis of the Austrian p ro p osals, with a view to induce the Allies to relax in their prepara tions for a vigorous prosecution of the war—a sepposition quite in harmony with the antecedents of RussianW its diPP" inacy—she will find in the Postscript amp le p ro evading any obligations she may have contrasted With Austria. Nor must it be forgotten that the Austrian A or l o l P t e h o at is t ri i r i e e more in favour of Austria than of Turkey. latter Power gains by them is the guarantee, such as it is, that Russia shall not maintain a formidable fleet in the Black Sea, or re-establish the military arsenal of Sebasto pol. In what regards the immediate causes of the war— foreign interfonce with the Christian subjects of the Porte, and a foreien Protectorate over the Danubian Principalities, Turkey is reft prettynearlywhere she was. En gland,France, and Austria—and perhaps Russia—aro to interfere collec tively between the Sultan and the Christian subjects in stead of Russia a lone. By assuming Protecterate over the Principal iti es, Rtussia inserted the thin end of the wedge to separate them from the Turkish empire ; the ar • wed proposed by Austria will only drive the wedge ;u u r t ther These conditions may find favour in tsrhalueitgeteylemes of many, but nobody can say that that they tend to ensure the " independence and integrity" of the Otto man empire. If they are agreed to, the end of the pre sent war will, like that of most other wars, forget its oe ginning• But, leaving the Ottoman Government out of the question, is the acceptance of these proposals likely to benefit the Rayahs or the inhabitants of the Danubian Principalities ? We have our doubts. A Joint Protecto rate of the Rayahs appears to is to mean nothing more than the permanent establishment of representatives of the Great Powers at Pere, constantly interfering with and paralysing the action of the Ottoman Government, and thereby perpetuating anarchy throughout its dominions. Until we know what kind of constitution the Principali ties are to receive, and until we see the Austrian army of occupation withdrawn from these provinces, it will be premature to congratulate the Moldo-Wallachians ou the' stipulations made ostensibly in their behalf. All that can with certainty be said at present is, that if Russia is prepared in good faith to accept unconditionally the Austrian proposals, this is a proof that she already feels so severely the pressure of the war as to be hopeless of the future. The acceptance of such terms cannot but be most mortifying to the pride of the Russian Govern ment. At the outset of the war it asserted a right to arbi trate between the Sultan and his Christian subjects, and seized upon the Principalities as a " material guarantee" for submission to its arrogant claims. At the end of the war, if the Proposals are accepted, it will submit to have the protectorate of the Rayahs wreste d from it by other Powers, and will cede permanently a part of its territory.
