LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2.

of the Black Bea ia, ao far as

we can learn, satisfactorily provided for by the Treaty
of Paris. We are assured that Nicolaieff—regarding
which it was feared some quibble might be raised on
the part of Russia—ia to share the fate of that
Poser's other military arsenals on the Eaxine. It
has also been stipulated that Russia is to maintain
. .

no military establishments on the Circessian coast. I
It would appear, then, that whatever can be effected
by a treaty to ensure the neutral character of the sea
has been done. It rests with the Governments of
Europe—and more especially with our own Govern-
ment—to take care that the treaty becomes a reality
by the eetabl'ehment of competent Consuls in the
Black Sea ports. This measure would give security
to merchants, acd prevent at all times the possibility ,
of clandestine military =Meting'.
There is reason to believe that the equitation of
the Danubian Principalities is not touched upon In
the Treaty of Paris. On this head a separate con-
vention will be negotiated between Turkey and the
Great Powers. This is a matter of infinite delicacy ;
but the dictates of equity seem petty clear, and the
policy of England is to conform to these dictates.
The chject of the war was to place on a secure foun-
dation the independence and integrity of the Turkish
Empire; to repel armed aggression in the present,
acd to preclude (if possible) the more insidious attacks
of political intrigue in the future. To attain these
ends, with reference to the Principalities, it is requi-
site that their relations to the Porte should
remain unaltered is essentials, and that the least
possible encouragement should be afforded to the ca-
bals and intrigues of foreigners. Whether the Pro-
vinces are to remain, as at present, under separate
administrations, or to be united, is a matter or indif-
ference to all except the natives themselves and their
Lord Paramount, the SULTAN. That question may
safely be left to their joint decision. Bat the question
whether the cfhce of Hospedar is to be hereditary, or
for life, is one upon which the Great Powers may be
called in a mediatorial capacity to pronounce an opi-
nion. The very equivocal success which' has
attended the establishment of a hereditary

vice-royalty in Egypt, is a painful warning
to abstain from the experiment of making
the office of Hospodar hereditary in Wal-
lachia and Moldavia. In addition to this there is a
prima facie case against the recognition of a heredi-
tary tenure of office in the Danubian Principalities
which did not exist in Egypt. The family of Ma-
ne-Ku ALI was marked out for the Vice-regal office
by its established influence and power. Neither in
Wallachia nor Moldavia is there any family to be
found among the Boyards sufficiently superior to the
rest to be able to maintaia a hereditary tenure of
office. Again, to create a hereditary Christian Hoe-
podar, of the native race, would be virtually to declare
the provinces independent of Turkey; to place a
hereditary Musuilmau Prince over them would lead
to incessant jealousies and collisions. We speak with
a view equally to the interests of the Wellsehian
people, and of England's ally the SULTAN. To separate
the Danubian Principalities from the Turkish Empire
would be to persist in that mistaken and insidious
partitioning policy which, by first proclaiming the in-
dependence of Greece, and then attempting to erect
Egypt and Syria into an independent kingdom, aimed
at frittering away the Ottoman Empire by insensible
degrees. To confer upon the Wallachisne at this
moment • seminal independence would be to hold
them out as a prize to be contended for by the great
states in their vicinity. The local seltgouniment,
the natural development of resources, are better
assured to the Wellachiens under the tees
of a Turkish sucerainle than they would be under a
nominal independence in the vicinity of Austria sad
Russia. All that can be done for these Provinces at
present is to obtain for them from the Poets guaran-
tees foe the permanence of their constitutional im-
munise. It is the duty of the Preach and English
Governante to Waist that each guarantees shall be
given, allowing the Porte as Serena to choose the
manner in which they shall be seaveyed.
There is one preliminary step to the settlement of
the Danubian Principalities, which cannot be evaded
or postponed—their evacuation by the Austrian
army. For our own parts we are free to confess that
we waver were able to see any advantage that was
pad by the Aostrian occupation of these Pro-
vinces. The disadvantages were saffideetly obvious.
To ay nothing of the well-warranted sae*
dons that the Austrians played • double game,
paralyeing the efforts of the Turkish generals, and
covering the retreat of the Russians, their unwarrant-
able exactions, and the brutal ended tithe soldiery,
have been each u ought not to have been indicted on
any analfending people. The least that cube done fee
the Wallschians is to liberate them from the
Austrian visitation. Nor ought it to be forgotten'
that Austria aimed at the conquest of Wallachia sad'
Moldavia before Russia was in a 'oddities to make
each an acquisition, and that she has ere sow availed
herself of wars between Rada and the Porte to ob-
tain temporary possession of these Previous. do lug
ws one Austrian soldier is allowed to remain in the
Principalities, Europe has no security @gala some in-
data attempt to subject them to the fate of the
Lombard and Venetia' territories.
