LONDO.V, FRIDAY, SEPT. 2s.

VARIoUS stories about the approaching royal
interview at Warsaw, each more surprising than
the other, have been going the round of the rem-
homey German. press during the last fortnight.
The object of these semi-official rumours le appa-
reutly to provoke public curiosity, and excite the
attention of Europe to the proposed meeting, bat
in this they have hitherto signally failed. Europe
is too deeply interested in the great national
struggle going on in the South to be much con-
cerned about the private meeting of two despotic
rulers, with • few of their satellites, in the North.
At length, however, we are officially told what the
object of the Warsaw meeting really is, and the
terms of the announcement are significant enough
to merit special notice. Russia has voluntarily
come forward as the herald and interpreter of the
new Holy Alliance. Prince GoIIIIIWHAKOI.7 has
had a long conference with the French Ambassador
in reference to " the general state of things
"in Europe and the affairs of Italy." If
we nay trust the telegraphic summary of this con-
fereuce, the Russian Prince's language was sin-
gularly free and outspoken. He coolly intimated
to the Duke of Moicresetto that the alliance be-
tween Frame and Sardinia was an offence to his
imperial master, as encouraging the propagation of
doetriues dangerous " to the political equilibrium
'' and the stability of thrones ;" and that Russia,
as the European representative of these menaced
interests, was about to concert measures for their
defence. The Prince added that this was the ob-
ject of the approaching interview at Warsaw.
This bold and explicit language is well worth
considering. Russia, we are authoritatively told,
is about to resume her "minion in defence of
" social order and monarchical interests." We are
too familiar with these phrsaes not to know that in
official language " social order" means political
death, and the " defence of monarchies/ labors*?
the extinction by force of every movement in
favour of national freedom. Russia mines for-
ward as the champion of them interests She
will resist to the utmost every effort on behalf of
political progress. It is her peculiar "mission."
We have often heard this wont before ; indeed a
few years ago it appeared in almost every Russian
despatch and manifesto. Hut it has not been much
used lately ; and without attaching too much im-
portance to an epithet, its employment just now in
such a coiutexion may fairly be regarded as of some
political significance. It marks the re-appearance
of Russia as an aggressi►e and disturbing force in
the field of European polities. The Crimean war
led Russia to abandon very much the political
poition she had formerly occupied. After signing
the Treaty of Paris she retired in secret disap-
pointment and disgust from the council-board of
the Great Powers, refusing for the time to take
any active part in European affairs. The plea
for this isolation was that she had been so
misunderstood, and her policy and intentions
so misrepresented by the other Powers.
Of course those who had watched the policy of
the offended Power were not deceived by this
temporary retirement from active political life ;
they justly attributed it rather to the want of
power than of will to interfere with effect
in European affairs. But they were willing to hope
that the change might in the end lead to the
adoption of a wiser policy. Meanwhile, whatever
the cause, the effect of thus keeping to her own
affairs was a great advantage both to Russia and
to Europe. The young Ewremie was able to de-
vote himself to domestic business, and this in-
offensive course gradually softened the intense
feeling of opposition which his father's
foreign policy had excited. That policy—the po
licy which Russia had steadily pursued before
the t'rimean war—may be justly described as
one of incessant and irritating intervention. It wee
the natural development of that pernicious
notion of • " IIONO011" which the late Extent();
having inherited, unhappily adopted as the
guiding principle of his life. lu the fulfilment of
this missionary character Russia was continually
meddling with the atfairs of neighbouring states,
;ovum unasked advice in one direction, offering
sinists:r assistance in another, Or making unjust de-
mands on a third. This policy of interference creatod
enemies on every side. Russia came to be re-
garded as aim aggressive, unscrupulous power, bent
on territorial avrandiseinent, and thus inimical to
the peace of Europe. This feeling of hostility
.i.oaifielly spread and strengthened until public
01mi:0m throughout Western Europe was exaspe-
rated to the highest pitch. It was in fact the
strong feeling excited by this aggressive policy
which led to the Russian war. Public opinion in
this country was so excited by the intervention
of Russia in the atniggle between Austria and
H enemy, that the nation was not only pre-
pared but resolved to take the earliest oppor-
tunity of effectually checking the career of so mis-
chievous and menacing a Power. The unreason-
able demands of Prince Menieliimirr on the
Porte furnished the opportunity, and this country
not only at onus pronounced in favour of armed
resistance, but entered into close alliance with its
hereditery foe to carry on the war. This:is the must
deciove proof of the intense feeling of opposition
which the meddling Russian policy had excited in
this country. In 18'62 the jealousy of Frump
and talk of invasion, which has recently nom-
peered, was rife here. Russia, misled by this jea-
lousy, thought she might carry out her policy of
aga.•tessimn with impunity, there being no fear that
the Western Powers would conibinv against her.
Yet the moment the demands ou the Porte were
made, ail feeling of jealousy towards France was
