ONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1870.

`VtrAT R nssi a wants of course is the seizure of
Constantinople. The acquisition of the metropolis
of the old Byzantine Empire =is in fact the one aim
and object of the hereditary policy of the autocrat.
Since the first foundation of the Muscovite dominion,
the seat of the Government has already been trans-
toned from one place to another, from Moscow to St.
Petersburg. Yet another change of that daring cha- j
racter has been ambitioned any tinni this last century
and a half by the Emperors of all Russias, by PETER,
called the Great, that is and more or less recognis-
ably breach of his eleven successors. From 1154 to
1239 the city of Fief was the recognised metropolis.

While, again, fr )m 1240 to 1328 the acknowledged
capital was Vladimir. As the governing authority of
Russia has expanded from that exercised by a Duke
to that wielded by a Grand Duke, afterwards by a
Czar, and eventually, since 1080, by an Emperor

or Autocrat, so the position of the
capital has advanced from Fief to Vladimir, to
Moscow, to St. Petersburg, and is intended to be ad-
vanced yet one step further, one of these fine days, if
possible, to Constantinople. Everything was pre-
pared for this removal, for this realization of the
day-dream of Pirthit the GlLllkij when in 1864 the
Emperor NrbitinAs despatched Prince MtNscittkorr
to thO Sublime Porte iitith Si studied insult which
was simplk the deliberately prepared signal for the
grand projebted svorlt o traiidfortriatipti. The
river Pita With" CroAA that Ruhicon kit
the CzAu, immediately iifter*arda.., SieldaVia *as
Seized; and with it a portion of WallaChia. The
Turkish iiqUadil ti was ruthlessly destroyed at Sinope.
The formidable Atissiiin fleet, long prepared in the
Euxine, was then in readiness to adventure upon the
conquest of Constantinople. Au all but impregnable
fortified seaport commanded the Black Sea
at Sebastopol. The ball was apparently at
the foot of Russia. Turkey wai seemingly
quite at her mercy. The Western Allies interposed
=the Crithean war was fought out to its glorious
close by the united fordo§ of England and France in

associatidn with Turkish and Sardiiiian contingents.
A treaty of Mende was formally signed at raris—a
treaty by which the integrity of Turkey was guaran-
teed by the contracting parties. That treaty it is
which, fourteen years after it was signed by the
British, French, Turkish, Sardinian, and Russian repre-
sentatives, the Cwt of all the Rtiehlas now dodlly
intithates his intention 'to throw aside, as worthy of
no further consideration. How to deal with the new
Russian difficulty Lord RUSSELL has just now, in a
very few words, clearly indicated, putting his pro-
position in the form of an exceedingly simple alter-
native::---" If the Russian EMIEROR," he !ma, " asks
fok d Conference on the Treaty of iB5O at a time
when such a conference can be assembled, let us meet
him in a fair spirit. But if the CZAR proposes to
set aside the Treaty of 1856 by force, let us meet
Lim by force, and the sooner the better." That,
in honour, is the only course to be followed by
England.

TOPICS OF THE D.Y.

MR. (RIGHT AS A MINISTER.

A good deal of curiosity has been excited as to

the position which Mr. Bright will assume with
reference to the Eastern Question, which has so un-
expectedly monopolised the attention of the Cabinet.
The London correspondent of the Scotsman says that
when Mr. Bright's illness began he was anxious to
resign, but he was dissuaded from taking any deci-
sive step in the state of his health and spirits. He
agreed to remain passive for a while, but as it became
evident that he could not take part in public affairs
for a considerable time, he renewed his
early intention, and actually sent in his resignation
to the Premier. Mr. Gladstone, however, p..rsuaded
him to allow the matter to stand over for a little
longer, and Mr. Bright agreed to retain his nominal
position, though he has not drawn auy salary during
his illness. He is, of course, altogether opposed to
the notion of a war with Russia, and his health is
still unequal to the anxiety and excitement of
taking part in animated discussions and sustaining
weighty decisions. Even should the Russian diffi-
culty be happily disposed of, it is thought probable
that Mr. Bright will have ceased to be a member of
the Cabinet by the time Parliament meets, for his
medical advisers think him still unequal to the
fatigues of lire in office.
