LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1855.

" Tell them that if they wish for peace they
must at least make vows for or against us ; for
in the midst of a grave European conflict indiffer-
ence is a false calculation, and silence an error."

This, indeed, is a great truth nobly expressed. It
is an emphatic admonition to the European
Powers, who, regardless of their paramount duties
and obligations, have professed a despicable neu-
trality, or by a course of hypocritical duplicity
and insincerity held out promises of assistance
never intended to be realised. It is a significant
hint to Prussia and to Austria, proceeding from
a quarter that must command attention, and not
only to them, but to the minor States, who, rely-

ing on their insignificance, have evaded the per-
formance of sacred obligations, incumbent on
every member of " the comity of nations."
Independent Sovereigns and Peoples have their
duties as well as their rights. They constitute the
police of the world, who are bound to the best of
their ability to prevent any anticipated disturb- '
ante, and to take care that the weakest member
of the confraternity shall obtain strict justice,
and be protected against any unwarranted aggres-
sion on the part of a stronger potentate. France
and England have nobly discharged their parts,
and Sardinia has afforded a glorious example to
the second-class kingdoms. But many other
kingdoms have been found deplorably wanting.
Prussia has completely abdicated her functions
as a first-class Power, and suffered herself to sink
materially in the scale of nations. But the con-
duct of Austria is far worse, for she has betrayed
the cause she professed to support, and disre-
garded solemn obligations deliberately and advis-
edly contracted. By extraordinary duplicity she
has induced the Western Powers to consent to
her occupation of the Danubian Principalities—

an occupation far worse than that of Russia,
which they felt themselves reluctantly compelled
to take up arms to resist. This may be looked'on
as very clever " diplomacy,. but straightforward,
honest m©n feel disposed to regard it in a different
point of view, and to designate it in less courtly
terms.
The Imperial ruler of France, who owes his pro-
minent position to the best possible source, the
cordial and all but unanimous will of his people,
has shown that ho will no longer permit himself
to be humbugged by pretended friends or cold-
blooded neutrals—that he will not be satisfied
with the mere profession of a love for peace, as
the justification for conduct that originated
and protracted the War. " Tell them that
if they wish
for peace they must at least make
rows for or against us." This manly and truthful
sentiment, appropriately put forward by the Em-
peror of the PRENCR at the closing of the Great
Exhibition, moat have struck a chill into the
hearts of those who felt how completely obnoxious
they were to the emphatic reproach. It will be
pondered over by the Cabiaets of Berlin, Vienna,
and Brussels, and teach the rulers that they must
p
at length take a decided part for or against Rus-
