may feel inclined to regard this plan as chimerical, we ask
of them whether, upon their conscience, they believe it
possible to preserve the statu quo, after the great war now
preparing ? Not one of the proposed remodellings here could
become a cause of division between the two Western Powers,
nor a danger for the one or the other. The balance would
be maintained between the two German states, which, ag-
grandising themselves in the sense of the Slave element, and
in a proportion nearly equal, would bring no newtrouble,no
new pretension into the body of the Germanic Confedera-
tion. Sweden would be strengthened by the restitution of
Finland, the Ottoman Empire by that of the Crimea and
of the line of the Caucasus. Constrained to restore the
usurpations of a century, the aggressor alone would suffer
from an arrangement which in the north, in the west, and
in the south, would be carried out at his expense.
" A definitive war can then alone decide this Eastern
question, which Russian ambition has made a continual
subject of anxiety to civilised nations. The war will be
followed by the sovereign deliberations of a European
Congress. May the means that wo propose be considered
as the best to attain the solution so ardently desired. To
wish only that which is just, but to wish it with resolve—
that is the simple secret of a provident and firm policy.
" It is necessary that it should no longer be in the power
of one man to trouble the safety of all with impunity."
