'f ho eia:. M. of to-day reproduces a semi-official
article fur,. the (*At. Corr espondenz of last night,
to the rt presentations of which the government
evidently letiuhes importance.
On the second day aft. r the signature of the Protocol and
Collective /tote of the Vienna Conference (i. e., on the 7th
of Deeembet!. we openly spoke of its importance. Now that
the test of the above-mentioned documents has been made
public elsowL•re, It is cesifirmed that the endeavour. of all
Earope he the restoration at peace between Russia and the
Porte ma 1.. he carried out by pacific means alone, without
violation of er prejudice to any rights formerly acquired.
Nothing is less calculated to excite surprise than that the
cost eneraldienry interpretations should have been given
by the perk' !teal press, according to the national view, or
r4imica each separate paper, to the act of the 6th of
ber Po correct, clear up, or confirm these opinion.,
u not star I..sineas, and it would be Sisyphas-work to at-
tempt it. (:u task cnn-ista in the truthful presentation et
facts, and in the important documents signed on the sth of
December ae discern with satisfaction the common will of
the Powen t. aim at the maintenance of peace, as also the
ite,sfa,eiois it the necessity for maintaining the Turkish
Empire in. "ate which has obtained the sanction of time.
When it is. ...sibered that the observance of the ancient
treaties bets •en Russia and the Sublime Porte—particu-
larly those Redondo. and Adrianople—is made the fun-
damental c ,ndition of the future treaty of peace, and
that the rte Its acknowledged the obligations aris-
ing from 'tie same, every dispassionate judge of the
state of ah.irs must share our opinion that a par-
tkulsr fat.dtty must be attached to this question
should the otuanous endeavours of the four Powers—
whom bona nrwia have already removed so many impedi-
ments outoi toe way—fait to bring about by moral

and the Poi,. As his 3lojesty the Emperor of Russia bad
expressed lionself ready to enter into negotiations for peace,
the ants ha- been lint addressed to the Sublime Porte. If
in the face . • '1 state of things which is not only notorious,
but, so to sly, " protocolled" by the whole of Europe, the
writen of ti.• leading articles and correspondence of some of
the foreign papers profess to have some peculiar initio-
bon into tb. whole secret of the recent course of diplomacy
sad to tan something shout a certain operation of secret
motives—pr ifess, indeed, to speak of a less friendly or even
Menacing position msumed by Austria towards Russia, it is
macient to refer to positive facts to show that the Imperial
nye govern:cent by again amicably and sincerely uniting
with thg two great Powers, is order by a common mediation
le relaxer the disturbed peace of the East, has not in the
bet renounced her friendly sentiments towards her allied
neighbour, and will not have to renounce them in future.
On the cc--trary, we see in the intimate friendship
between the two great monarchs the surest guarantee for
the peace of the world, and fur the conservative interests
of Strops.
