orgat tisation, respecting which the population
itself will be consulted, shall be recognised
by then contracting Powers, and sanctioned by the
SuLTAN, as emanating from his sovereign initia-
tive !" From whence, then, are they to proceed ?
Not from the population, for it is only to be con-
sulted, or, in other words, compelled, to give in its
ailhesiont to anything which the Austrian military
despotic m now in operation pleases to dictate.
Nor is it from the contracting, i. e., the Allied
Powers. They are only to recognise it after the
population has been consulted —and the SULTAN
is placed in the same category, for he is only to
sanction it " as emanating from his Sovereign ini-
tiative." We thus find that it is Austria,
and Austria only, that is to dictate the
terms which the population is to be con-
sulted on, the Allies to recognise, and the
SULTAN to sanction. Verily, our Government
can have profited little by past experience if it
has assented to vague stipulations, of which such
formidable use may be made at some future
time.

On the Second Point it will be seen that there is
a reservation in favour of the river-bordering,
or riveraine States, which, it is stated, " shall be
regulated upon the principles established by the
Act of the Congress of Vienna as regards the navi-
gation of rivers." Here, again, everything is
just as Austria wishes ; and the concession to
each of the contracting Powers to keep one or
two small vessels stationed at the mouth of the
river can scarcely control the supreme authority
which Austria would exercise in its own right, and
as the occupier of the Turkish river-bordering
territories.

The Third Point permits the question respect-
ing the naval force for the coast service to be
settled exclusively by Russia and Turkey. This
principle of .depriving Turkey of the coun-
cil and advice of her faithful Allies was espe-
cially repudiated during the late Conferences
at Vienna, as well as by the representatives of
Turkey as by those of the Western Powers.

The Fourth Point seems scarcely less obnoxious
to the sovereign rights and privileges of the SUL-
TAN than those attempted to be usurped by Russia,
and which led to the War.

What is become of JOHN BRIGHT, Esq., M.P.,
and his war with the Game Laws ? Never had
champion a better cause ; never did Quaker
engage in a more bloodless war ; never had pug-
❑acity more worthy antagonists than the game-
preservers of St. Stephen's. They would have
died game ; some of them would almost have died
for game. We should have thought our bellicose
philanthropist would have fought such a battle
As perseveringly as WILBERFORCE that of Slavery,
and VILLIERS that of the Corn Laws. His
retreat really half accounts for the BRIGHT and
COBDEN policy of " What Next, and Next ?" He
had mustered his forces, he had encamped his
committee before the enemy, he had fired away
question and answer in right handsome style, he
had launched two formidable reports at his oppo-
nents, all promised well to a determined annual
assailant, when, lo I as friend COBDEN advises,
lie withdrew his forces entirely, he spent
not one shilling more of his English
money in the fray ; the farmers were
his Germans, and if they whom it most nearly
concerned did not see fit to join the attack en
masse he would fight no more, not he. The
game might eat up all their corn if it would, and
Russian serfs and American slaves might make
good the difference—but he, Jonx BRIGHT, was
not going to waste his vocal ammunition on
worthless tenants-at-will. But JOHN BRIGHT
did then forget what COBDEN and BRIGHT do now
forget, that our farmers dare no more wag a
tongue against the game-preserving Czirs
than the German Courts dare remonstrate
even with the CZAR of despots. Farmers
and German despots well know the penalty they
must pay for calling their souls their own. It was
not kind, then, of Mr. BRIGHT, it really was not,
to leave game-law foes on the Northern side and
the Mackenzie heights of a Parliamentary majo-
rity, and bid the farmers to dislodge them if they
could. He knew that farmers could not return
one man of their class to Parliament.
We were reminded of Mr. BRIGHT and his
shirking the annual campaign we had looked for
by the last of many game law cases which have
from time to time appeared in The Sun. There
has been no lack of such cases evet since Mr.
BRIGHT beat his retreat. Now a keeper killed
or dreadfully wounded—now an aristocrat shot—
and times beyond number, far mere, we may be
assured, than ever meet the public eye, some
poor wight sent to the treadmill for a game-law
offence, on evidence which would certainly no

But all the objections that may be definitive];
urged are far less than those that arise
with respect to the vagueness and indecisive
character of the propositions which can-
only lead to interminable and, in all
human probability, abortive discussions, and
negotiations. We are therefore justified in warn-
ing the nation not to be deceived by such illusory
proceedings, but promptly and peremptorily to
insist on the energetic and vigorous prosecution of
the War until Russia shall voluntarily sue for
terms far more onerous than those which she
already se contumeliously rejected, giving at the
:lame time satisfactory security or " material
guarantees " for their due observance, and an
ample indemnity for the pecuniary losses occa-
sioned by her unwarranted and unconscientious
aggression.
