TIGHT ROPE.

the former having conceded to the latter the en-
viable privilege of precedence—briefly, in fine, by
the sounding of the trumpet and the glittering of
the crescent along the banks of the Danube, by
the more intimate alliance of France and England,
by the simultaneous passage of their ships-of-war
through the channel of the Dardanelles ! Had these
proceedings been adopted earlier, we should—we
repeat again and again—have been spared the
ruinous and discreditable effects, the ignominy
and the injury of these craven and protracted nego-
tiations.

It is observable, by the way, that the ABER-
DEEN Cabinet is at last excusing itself, through its
organ, by throwing the blame upon the diplo-
matists of the Vienna Conference. Those diplo-
matists failed, we all know by the egregious
blundering of the Note transmitted by them to St.
Petersburgh and Constantinople. That Note they
couched in terms so loose, or so ambiguous, that
the document was meant by them in a totally dif-
ferent sense from that in which it was understood
both by the Russian and the Turkish Govern-
ments. Never was there such an exhibition of
fatuity among plenipotentiaries. It is ad-
mitted at last even by the organ of the
Earl of ABERDEEN. In its impression of this
morning, the Times says—" They (France and
England) have agreed, in point of fact, to abide
by those conditions of settlement which the Four
Powers conceived themselves to be expressing in their
Vienna Note, BUT WHICH THEY FAILED TO CONVEY
WITH ANY ACCURACY OF LANGUAGE." Listen to
that, 0 shade of the great SULLY, 0 ghost of the
incomparable TALLEYRAND ! Again—" The terms
now categorically preferred are the identical terms
which have been required from the beginning, and
are none other indeed than the very conditions
to which France and England believed themselves
to be adhering when they assented to the Vienna
Note." Believed themselves to be adhering ! Was
ever such an admission made before on the part
of an enlightened Government ? Nay more •we
hear the Times adding, as the organ and apologist
of Lord ABERDEEN—" Had the work of these
diplomatists been properly conducted, the ques-
tion would have been brought three months ago
to the point it has just now reached, and Russia
would have received the ultimatum of Europe"—

blurting out, in addition to this, the bold confes-
sion—" But the Conference blundered—there is
no disguising the fact." There is no disguising
the fact now. But until this juncture, how per-
tinaciously have not both ABERDEEN and the
believers in that travestie of a statesman, re-
frained from making a clean breast of it—to
the extent of that most disgraceful of admissions !
Yet the fact that we have been maintaining all
along so loudly is at length admitted even
by the Ministerial journal itself —we may
guess with how much reluctance! " The Con-
ference blundered—there is no disguising the
fact." And if the Conference blundered, so, too,
did the Four Powers by whom the Note of the
Conference was approved—so, too, consequently,
of course, did the immaculate and patriotic Coali-
tion, the able and energetic ABERDEEN Govern-
ment. It may reasonably be inquired, after such
an acknowledgment of the incapacity revealed at
this extraordinary crisis by the Vienna Confer-
ence—it may be reasonably asked, who are those
egregious blunderers in diplomacy, and in what
manner is their blundering to be reprobated by
their respective Governments ? The representa-
tive of England we can alone have to deal with,
as one who has jeopardised the peace of Europe
and compromised the dignity of the Crown by his
admitted incapacity. Why, therefore, do we not
signalise the failure of the Vienna Note by politi-
cally degrading the Ambassador who took part in
that miserable Conference as our plenipotentiary?
Why not, by his abrupt recall to this country,
cover with the ignominy of condemnation that most
incapable of diplomatists, the Earl of WESTMORE-
LAND ?
