LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27.

Ina terms of the preliminary Armistice, jest de-
termiced upon at the Pans Conferences, are bet im•
perfectly koown. All that has yet transpired is, that
its duration is limited to the 31st of next month. and
that the blockades at present established or contem-
plated wili not be affreted by it. While the Armistices
lasts, neither army can move from its positions or
occupy sea• ground. And it may be inhered from
the date died for the termination of the Armistice,
that by the 31st of Much—the earliest period at
which the resumption of military operations is pos-
sible—either Peace must be concluded or the War
renewed.

It is necessity that it should be distinctly under-
stood that the people and Government of England,
although by no means averse to an honourable and
secure Peace, have fully made up their minds to the
alternative of War. Our resources have not as yet
experienced any sensible pressure; our army isle an
infinitely more efficient condition than at the com-
mencement of hostilities; and the nation is as deter-
mined as ever to attain the objects tor which the war
WA undertaken. Such, we believe, are also the
views end wishes of the highest personage in the
French Government—of him upon whom its bed
decision must depend. The partisans of Russia,
and the whole host of trimmers, will egre-
giously deceive themselves if they allow their
opinions on this point to be influenced by the
uncertain sonrd which the press of Paris, with one,
generous exception, has given forth. The caws
of its supple and subservient tone are well known ;'
bet the fate of Europe does not depend upon the
interested wishes of the Exchange either of London
or of Paris.

We have eonfideeee in the firmoess of oar own
Goverament ; and we have mill greater confidence in
the exhaustion of /WWII. She is in am condition to
brave a renewal cf operations in the Crimes; mush
lees to brave the edrent of an Anglo-Freoch fleet,,
with mortar veseels and gooboats, in the Baltic. A
intimation some time ago communicated the
that the Crimean ofikers now on keit, of
allenue have bees ordered to rejoin their regiments;
us& bow owes of our own we know that similar
iris bow hein.given to the officers of the Baltic
fleet England parleys with her band as her sword,
watching narrowly every movement of her 'deer-
mry.

As yet there are no symptoms of Russia's asking
to withdraw from soy stipulation embraced by the
Four Point& The only disemnion of moment &Mesa
arise with regar4 to them is, whether the demolition
of Nicefakir is provided for by the terms of the Aar
tries proposii ions. We Gan see that the text of the
propositions is gallantly vague es this head to
admit of the question being raised ; but we believe
that the demolition may be obtained by negetiatioe,
and we are convinotd that it is of the utmost tea-
aquae' to insist upon it.

Ose thieg the British Goverment will hidalgos.
and that is the sarrecder by Ruda of every loch of
Turkish territory of which it is at present is poetise-
Woo. Bosh serreader will be lasistsd apse, whether
provided for is "the Five Palate" oe net ; sad lan
will coesegseetly have to be restored to the Porte.

Bat the best security that can be gives to Turkey
will be Ihr spiting of the commerce if the Easiest
le all Mins, and the development of her ewe inter-
nal lonfle sad industry. When the Asp of all
nodose flat epee the Black Sea, when its ports are
crowded with the enterprising =risers sad user-
shoats of both hemispheres, it will be impesibie far
Remia again to steal, furtively and setletested, upon
her weaker seighbour. With every step that
Turkey makes in her career of material earishaest
his pewee of resistance to aggression will be meg-
nested. It is to be hoped, therefore, that ample se.
✓erity will be demanded for the fres access of the
measseres of every 'sties to all the parts if the
Basis., sad for the establishosest is them of eon-
Galatea aid of other means for the pulsation of
kreiguers. It will also be Wombat en the Allies,
with all ties defenses to the feelings of as harps-
dent Goverusest, to urge epos the Porte the adoption
of seek measures se will attract capital and sommeree
to the regime subjected to it, away. It is muske-
ts/7 to gather from what fell from Lord Piazze.-
..ran is the Hoes, of Commons yesterday, that this
impartaat subject her sot wow the WWI of OW
Government. We allude to his shamming that
Meissen have sever seised to urge as the Turkish
Goveraissat the senstrecties of a road hem Testi-
send to Ileserome. We havens sow directed alms-
ties to the importance of such an =docksides, beth
he a eseasersial sad ii a military past el vire. It
would be easy to enumerate may seesseres, both es
the part of the Divas aid on the pert of the &Eli*
Cabbie, which would materially facilitate the iuAa
of Bemoan capital sad enterprise iste Turkey j bat
of this hereafter.

Tin Warrant by which a Board of amoral
011aars in appointed to investigate tho ethereso
against Lard CAZDIGAN sad WWI 0011taaltd fa tho
superb of Bir lons M'brattl. and Colonel Munch
will bo found in another colons. The Omani
Olken named in the Warrant aro—

LORD BLATON,
GINERAL *KARON,
Ma Joax Buz.
Gamut. Rowix,
BAIL Iburciumr,
GLNRILAL Past,
GI/I[IAL KNOLLTL

All these seem are well knows as mean of expo-
risme* and judgment. Of Lord BisTox it ie need-
ing to speak. Bur Jon■ Bret. is, we believe, an
Aber of great experience and sagacity, whoebtained
wary eonsiderable reputation in the Quartermaster-
Oeserars Departs sat under the Doke of WIL-
LINOTON. Under the direction of Lord &wow, who
h to ant as President, there is eery MOM to expest
that the inquiries of the Board will be eandeeted
with skill and impartiality, and the whole ease ably
summed up and clearly stated. The advisers of the
Crown have judiciously counselled her MAJESTY to
Dame no allow to sot under the Warrant who hes
served in the Crimea. Any °Seer who bee at any
time formed part of the Expeditionary Army might
have been liable on the one band to cowls:sloes that
he night be conscious of therteoniinge of his own,
sad therefore disinolieed to press ►ard upon the
messed ; on the other, that he belonged to a alma-
rity disappointed at not bevies bees eoesalted, sad
therefore dispail to rtgard what hes been done
with a jaundiced rye.
