OH THE VIENNA CONEERBNQEiS.

The Journal de, St. Petersbourg of the 12th con-
tains an article in reply to Count Walewski's cir-
cular, noticed in a telegraphic despatch given by
The Sun. of Monday. The article in question occu-
pies six columns.
From the opening observations of Count Wa-
lewski's circular, the inference is drawn by the St.
Petersburg journal, that throughout the period in
which the late Emperor Nicholas was striving to ar-
rive at a general peace, the Allied governmentswere
intent only upon the more vigorous prosecution of
the war, and it is suggested that this fact explains
the delay until March in the opening of the Con-
ferences, and the hesitation—not•to say extreme
repugnance—with which Baron de Bourqueney and
LordWestmorelancl gave ear to the preliminary
negotiations.
The Journal proceeds to examine the reference,
in Count Walewski's circular, to the independence of
the Principalities, contrasting the deplorable situa-
tion of thoseprovincesprevious to the treaty ofAdria-
nople with their condition under the provisional ad-
ministration of CouniKisseleff. Russia's object is de-
clared to be achieved when the free regime of the
Principalities obtains the sanction ofpublic European
law, by the collective guarantee of all the great
powers. " Such is the result in which our plea'.
potentiaries had an honourable share. In approv-
ing the acts which they have signed, the Imperial
Cabinet regards this question as terminated."
On the second point, the navigation of the
Danube, the Russian Plenipotentiaries were also
at one with the representatives of the Allied
Powers. It was the Russian administration, says
the Journal, which opened to the freedom o com-
merce one of the most magnificent markets in the
world and it then proceeds to contend that the
facts show that Russia did not abuse her privilege
—at any rate, it was not necessary to spill the blood
of France and England to overcome the few exist-
ing obstacles.

The journal, passing
to the consideration of the
Fourth Point, expresses regret that the Third—
which possessed such a grave interest to all Chris-
tians—was postponed, because "we longed to sa-
tisfy ourselves that the intentions of the Russian
Cabinet coincided with those of France and Eng-
land." It is then remarked :--
" If we are to judge by the remarks contained in the
circular of May 23 (Count Walewski's) there existed a
certain divergence of view between the French Cabinet
and ours. At Paris the political question predominates;
in other words, the fourth guarantee is specially core
sidered in relation to the influence which the great
Powers exercise in the East. At St. Petersburg the
religious sentiment, the national sentiment of the con, .
try, outweigh? the considerations belonging only to the
domain of politica. Under the influence of this con-
viction, the principal object which the Russian plenipo-
tentiaries were directed to keep in view, was to ar-
rive at a peace by which the liberty of worship, and.
the amelioration of the condition of the Christian popula-
tions, subject to the domination of the Ottoman Empire,
should be placed for the future under the safeguard of a.
collective Act, sanctioned by European IRW.
"If the efforts of all the Powers tended towards the
same end, nothin; would be mere ea?y than to clothe this
act with the forms deemed necessary to secure fur the
Sultan the spontaneous merit of a Sovereign will mani-
fested in favour of his Christian subjects. In this respect
we wish as much as France and England to arrange
for the Sultan the opportunity of giving himself
up, to use the words of the circular of May 23, •to the
most generous inspirations.' The intention of the Rus-
sian Cabinet assuredly is not to arrest in Turkey all
useful reforms, or to estrange the populations against
their sovereign.' It is with earnestness that we repro-
duce this expression from Count Walewski's despatch.
conscious of the importance which all Governments at.
tacit to making this doctrine respected not only in
Turkey, but everywhere else.
" We arrive at the revision of the tr?atv of 1841. That
which surprises us at first is, that the French Cabinet
has completely passed over in silence the results already
obtained in determining this amicably. In our opinion
the most useful guarantee for assuring the repose of the
Levant is not to be sought. It is found. The Pleni.
potentiaries, reunited in conference on April 19, esta-
blished it unanimously under the form of an engagement,
conceived in these terms :—'lf a conflict arises between
the Sublime Porte awl one of the high contracting pal.
ties, the two States, before resorting to the employment
of force, shall put the other Powers in the way of pre.
venting such an extremity by pacific means.'
"This stipulation, to tell the truth, ought to put an
end to all further discusedon. The foresight of the Ca-
binets would be unable to go beyond the pledges of se-
curity contained in this sngagement. The principle of
perfect reciprocity characterising this stipulation renders
it equally reassuring and honourable for all the contract.
iug powers. After this guarantee given to the preserve.•
tion of the European equilibrium, is it necessary
to prolong the calamities of war, in order to seek
for ampler material precautions? It is upon this
rock that the negotiations at Vienna split."
In a similar spirit the St. Petersburg Journal
alludes to the circumstances under which the Fourth
Point was rejected, expressing the sentiment that it
is neither to the interest of Russia nor of the Allies
that hostilities should continue, and that this is
safer guarantee for peace than any question of num-
bers in the Black Sea. It is urged that Russia has
a direct interest in the maintenance of peace in the
Levant, and the rise of hostilities is attributed to
the existence of "a predominant influence at
Constantinople, which judged the moment favour-
able for regenerating the Ottoman Empire by
warlike start." The Russian plenipotentiaries
went as far as they could when, at the Conference,
they proposed, alternately, the opening or the
closing of the Black Sea. The limitation of the
number of Russian vessels is declared to be
; but the Journal says that the time is not
come for discussing that point with proper calm.

After again putting the question, whether upon
the conditions already agreed to peace might not
at once be concluded, the article closes as follows;
" Thus the blame of the rupture falls upon the West.
em Powers. Their unwillingness has put an end to
the negotiations. It is not the Russian Cabinet which
is responsible. If on one side it has opposed to
France and England the firm resolution not to agree to
demands, exceeding the limit laid down from the open.
in; of the Conferences, on the other, it has offered to
friendly powers the proof of its sincere desire to con.
tribute loyally to a peace conformed to the sentiment
of the dignity of Russia. Constant in these principles,
it will leave the way open to an honourable reconcilia.
Con, when the desire of peace shall be more generally
felt in France and in England—when experience shall
have enlightened the two countries upon the mistakes
of a war without object and a hatred without cause. It
will be permitted then to resume, with the hope of sues
cess, negotiations for assuring to Europe the benefit, too
long overlooked, of general repose." •
