THE NEW PROTOCOL

PARIS, FRIDAY ETINING.
The Munitrim contains the following official ar-
ticle :

"On the llth of May last we said that if the
question raised at Constantinople by M. le Prince
Menchikoff should lead to complications, these would
become a question of general politics, in which the
other Powers which signed the treaty of July 13,
1841, together with France, would find themselves
engaged, and by the same right. Events hays justi-
fied our anticipations; that recognition of mutual
obligations between the great cabinets, which in oar
view must result from common interests and.respect
for the same principles in the case supposed, has now
become a fact.

" The intimate union of the government of the
Emperor with the government of her Britannic
Majesty had already given assurance to all minds ;
still there remained doubts as to the attitude which
the other powers would take up at the commence-
meat of a war which they had sincerely endeavoured
to prevent, but the theatre of which, front the very
nature of things, might extend itself.
"To avert this peril, to concert a common action,
and to bind up the interests of Europe more com-
pactly, the Emperor has employed his most perse-
vering efforts. This loyal policy has gained its
t.
poin " It would be presumptuous to regard the Eastern
Question as ended. We may still expect to see it
pass through different phases, but the agreement
strongly professed (haut•inent arou.) by Austria
and Pruasia with the Cabinets of Paris
and London suffices henceforth to calm the in-
quietude. which for the last six months has
kept Europe in suspense. The real danger
of the situation consisted in the possibility that the
Powers might be divided into two camps: this
danger has vanished. _

" The same views the same wishes— animate
France, England, Austria, and Prussia, and a
protocol, signed at Vienn,► on the bth of this
month, in a conference at which the representa-
tives of the Four Powers assisted, bears witness
to their mutual resolutions.

"To re-establish peace between Russia and the
Sublime Porte upon conditions honourable for both
parties, and to maintain the territorial integrity of
the Ottoman Empire, the independent existence of
which within the limits laid down by treaties has
become one of the conditions of European equili-

brium—such Is the twofold rad -which the Four
Powers propose to pursue together. To lay down as
a primal fact that in no ease can the present war
bring about modifications in the state of possession
which time has consecrated in the East, is to restrict
the field, and to bring back (its to be hoped) the
difference which has arisen between the cabinet of
St. Petersburg and the Sublime Porte to a point
which will permit European diplomacy to exercise

an efficacious action, and to re-establish a solid peace
between Russia and the Ottoman Empire under a
collective guarantee."

A summary of the foregoing appeared in our
impression yesterday.
The assurances contained in the foregoing article
have been exceedingly well received at the bourse,
where a rise of lf. 60c. in the Three per Cents., and
of lf. 10c. in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., took
place. Closing pr:ces :—Four-and-a-Half per Cent.
Rent" 102.10; ditto Three per Cants., 76 ex div.
Bank Shares, 2,915.
As the article of the bfoli;teur fixes the date and
character of the protocol, the following note reports
the action taken thereupon by the repiesentatived of
the Powers : _ .

VIENNA, Ere. 5.
This evening the representatives of Engian4
. _ _

Freese, sad Prussia, with the Ateetrian

minister, join in sending s special meesenges to

stantinopie. The PowireACtmot propose any esrleht.
form or terms of arrangement to Turkey,.sitherdia
on a former occasion. Bat they'express regret at'
the existence of hostilities, undertake to assure
the Porte that Russia is inclined to negotiate, coal;
dandy trust that Turkey is animated by the same
spirit, and request to be informed upon what terms
the Porte is ready to treat for a peace. The ambas-
sadors then intimate that, in the opinion of the four
cabinets, it is desirable that an armistice be imme-
diately concluded, and that it would give them great
satisfaction to learn that the Porte is willing to name
a plenipotentiary, to meet another to be appointed
by the Emperor of Russia, in some neutral city. I
suppose that the ambassadors huve not assumed the
Czar's inclination to treat without sufficient grounds,
bat nothing is known of it here by the public or the
press.
