THE Russian. Commandant of Kars is said to
have.communfeated his willingness to surrender
that fortreas to. the Turkish authorities. For the
truth of this report, however, we have no better
authority than a telegraphic despatch. General
MOURAVIEFF, it is well understood, was in favour
of the retention of the Ottoman citadel, and
resigned ,his command when he found his counsel
had been rejected by his Imperial master. We
hope most fervently that all this may prove to be
as the friends of peace wish it, and that the Isle
of Serpent's affair will also be adjusted without
further difficulty. If Russia will not read and
abide by the Treaty of Paris as it is written, and
willr further provoke the Western Powers, the
consequences will be terrific, indeed. The

Muscovite had many sympathisers throughout
the late. contest; but where is the man, with
the slightest pretensions to a spark of honour, who
could justify the open and wanton violation of a

pletion of t
