LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1856.

Although peace with Russia has been officially

recognised, there are many important questions
still under discuAsion that may lead to serious
difficulties before a final arrangement can be ar-
rived at. It is notorious that very considerable
differences exist as to the new constitution for
the Danubian Principalities. The abolition of
the Russian protectorate, and, indeed, of all the
treaties entered into between the Governments of
• the CzAR and of the So-urArr, leaves many points
to. be disposed. of, the satisfactory settlement
whereof cannot be very easily effected. Austria
is evidently dissatisfied at not being able to
carry her insidious designs into practical opera-
tion. She wishes, if possible, to continue for
an indefinite period the occupation which was so
'recklessly and improvidently sanctiened ; and
although the Western Powers cannot, for very
shame sake, allow the untenable pretext, she
has yet an opportunity of sowing the elements
of disturbance,'. of which there can be but little
doubt,that she will avail herself, and which will
be far more formidable in consequence of the
secret support which she obtains from parties exer-
cising very powerful, albeit unconstitutional, in-
fluence in the affairs of Great Britain. The Italian
difficulty has also been raised, and it is due to
our truly faithful ally, the Ring of SARDINIA,
that the intricate problem should receive a satis-
factory solution. Virtually there is a Congress
now -sitting at Paris for the disposal of every
question of European interest, ancis, it is of vital
importance that the views and opinions of the
British Parliament and the British people should
be known before the nation is committed by con-
ditions and stipulations alike opposed to its
wishes and interests, that may lead to a war, in
comparison to which that with Russia would be
regarded as a matter of the most trivial impor-
' tame°.

We have unhesitatingly declared that the honour
and welfare of the United Kingdom have been
scandalously sacrificed since the commencement of
theßastern difficulty ; and, save so far as the treat-
ment of the wrongdoers Li concerned, it signifies
little whether the evil has been occasioned by the

incapacity or treachery of the parties concerned.
We need not refer to the palpable errors of the
JUSERDIEN Government that led to the War. They
had, through their Ambassador, Sir H. SEYMOUR,
ample information to satisfy any men of ordinary
intellect and understanding as to the nature and
extent of the designs of the late AUTOCRAT. There
was a bribe tendered for theiracceptance, and an un-
equivocal intimation that Austria and Prussia had
