LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH G, 1855.

There will, it appears, be but little, if any,
delay occasioned at-Vienna by the death of the
Emperor NICHOLAS. It is J said that Prince
G ORTSCHA KOFF is is possession of ample powers,
and that no further attempt at procrastination, at
least in the preliminary stages, will be made on
the part of Russia. Many difficulties that pre-
viously existed have unquestionably been removed,
but it is by no means clear that others of equal
magnitude have not arisen ; and it is as yet
hard to say whether the event that has oc-
curred may prove beneficial or otherwise.
Thera was the personal pride of NICHOLAS,
which would prompt him to resist to the
uttermost rather than consent to what he might
fancy to be a humiliation, or even to the aban-
donment of his long-cherished policy. He has
frequently declared that he would expend " his
last man and his last rouble" before he would
assent to terms which he subsequently accepted
as the basis of negotiation. Every stringent pro-
vision, every demand which he had previously so
contumeliously repudiated, would have created
fresh obstacles ; and, considering that his will was
the sole law of the country, we may easily estimate
the character of the impediments to be successfully
overcome before conditions could be finally adopted
that would be acceptable to the Western Powers,
or that would be regarded in France or England
as the foundation of a just, an honourable, •r a
(probably) permanent peace. His pride—the
predominating element in his character—excited
by the prolonged possession of absolute and irre-
sponsible power—would revolt against points
which, if the representative of England fulfilled
his duty to his country, would be regarded as
perfectly indispensable, without which no truce
or temporary armistice could be patched up.
We must, however, look to the other side of
the picture. He had the power, if he had the will,
to yield. He might offer ample securities for the
future, allow material guarantees to be taken, which
would supply unquestionable assurance against
a repetition of the disastrous policy which
has created so much annoyance, expense, and
bloodshed. Is his successor equally master of his
P3fiti‘oli 7 That is the question, and one of vital
importance at the present moment. We have
hitherto
been accustomed to give the new CZAR
credit for an amiable disposition ; and it has been
generally, and,
e believe, truly asserted that he
entirely disapproved of the aggressive course
to which his father was stimulated by the NE's-
envite party, and hie turbulent brother CONI TAN-
TINE. That brother has, _
however,

Was asserted to be the rightful heir, because he
AAA the first born after his father had indued the
purple ; whereas ALEXANDER was the son of the
Grand Duke NICHOLAS. Ridiculous as the mat-
ter may su. -
eun it may yet have some influence on
the future. And even were it otherwise, and
that there was no
que-stion as to they succes-
sion, the proverbial uncertainty of life, more
especially under despotic Governments, should
teach U 8 not to rely too strongly on the good will
or pacific intentions of the Emperor ALEXANDER
11. He may, from personal motives, be unable
to give full effect to that good will; or, if disposed
tc) do so,• he may not be long spared to maintain
the policy
ne had inaugurated.
What, then, should be the *ours° of the Western
diplomatists under the circumstalleefa
