The preparations for the Concyges continue to le

The Tines says : —lt was well to ask for further
papers, but no other reply could well have been ex-
pected than that which Sir Stafford Northoote returned.
It is not convenient at present to produce further
pews, and the policy of the Government has been
suffic:eutly indicated in Lord Salisbury's circular, and
in the recent statements of Ministers in Parliament.
Our plenipotentiaries of course will be furnished with
Instructions drawn up by the Cabinet, and any
decisions to which they may assent will have been
made on the responsibility of the Cabinet as • whole.
It depends on the thoroughness with which the
points at issue have been discussed how far the
reality will correspond to these intentions ; but the
matter is one in which Ministers must necessarily be
trusted, and they must be left to justify their pro-
ceedings on a future occasion. The Emperor of Russia
himself, it is declared, would have disavowed the
treaty if he had known how it had been extorted, and
it is, of course, suggested as the conclusion of this
curious plea that •he agreement is destitute of moral
authority. Perhaps the Tm loi are not ill-advised in
seeking to cast further disparagement on the con-
demned Treaty of San Stefano, but the Congress can
hardly treat a defeated combatant as &Court of Equity
might treat a suitor upon whom illegal premium had
been brought to bear. The very object of war is to
substitute force for persuasion, and rrr rid is is still
the rule of conquerors. But so far as it can be shown
that the treaty wee extorted under an absolute mis-
apprehension id the facts with which it purported to
deal it will demand the revision of the Powers- The
truth, however, Sc, ms to be that fear is still the
power which is dominant at Constantinople. The
future of Turkey must be based on some foundation
firmer than the will of the Sultan, and this foundation
it will be the duty of the Congress to provide.
