estly desire that the war with Russia should be
. carried on until we obtain adequate security against,
the resumption of those attempts which have
plunged Europe into the perils of war. Peace ma
without those securities will be both disastrous andf
disgraceful. This we believe to be the settled cot-
victim). of the country, and to attain this end the
country is prepared to 'make .any sacrifices which
may be fairly asked to carry on the war with vigour
and effect. !
To insist on such conditions is now the ?iguana
paramount duty of the-Minister guiding the mini-
cils of England. _ _
We have already pointed out hoW vir7 far indeed
from the concession of these conditions ib the trans-
action which has already occurred. We once more
earnestly entreat attention to that part of the Aus.
trian proposal which refers to what is called, in
strangely-affected phraseology, the nearalisation
of the Black Sea. We do not hesitate,to say that
the entire of the proposal ir drain tip in language
decidedly favourable to the pretensions, and cape.

Let us not be 1,4 - that about
words. The allegation we are dealing with us, that
Russia has bound herself by her qualified accept-
aim of these proposals to terms which secure the
peace of 'Europe. We utterly deny this ;we can
only maintain our denial by showing the true
meaning of the document she has accepted as
the text of discussion. Besides we must re-
member that in dealing with Russia .we_must
criticise words. Some of our readers, perhaps,
have not forgotten that when the " famous '
Vienna note was adopted by the French and
English Cabinets in 1853, we stood alone for
severalfweeks at the British press in pointing out'
the insidious character of the designs which were
masked under the plausible language of this*
note. We were then upbraided with verbal quib-
bling. We were told that Europe must not be in.
volved in war for the nice weighing of phrases". It
is enough for us to say that upon the question of
these very phrases we have been ever since at war.
War was proclaimed because Russia demanded• the
very phrases which English diplomacy had offered,
but which Turkish sagacity refused.
The language of the Austrian proposal is more
insidiously favourable to Russian designs than was
even that of the Vienna note.
Let us take the sentence which embodies the
principle of the proposal relative to the Euzine :--
31LITTKA.LISATION OF THE BLACK SKI L.
" This sea shall be open to merchant vessels,
closed to war navies ; consequently, no naval or
military arsenal shall be erected or maintained
th* re.

" Maintained there ?" where, in the name of
common sense ? In the Black Sea 1 This is the
literal and grammatical meaning of the words.
To what do they extend Nobody creates or
maintains naval or military arsenals in the sea.
ney are on the coasts adjoining, or in harbours
or r,vers communicating with it.
Does this mean that Russia is to be prohibited
from rebuilding Sebastopol If even this were
honestly meant, why could it not be plainly stated?
But suppose Sebastopol is conceded to be an arsenal
in the Black Sea ; is Tuikey then. to be equally
bound to dismantle any forts or arsenals which she
may have upon any of the coasts of the Euxine ?
Is she to be bound to erect new ones ? Is this in-
tended as a prohibition against fortifying the Bos-
phorus ? We cannot believe that any British
Minister will ever be base enough to propose to
bind Turkey by such a stipulation—a stipulation
which would amount to an engagement not to pro-
vide the means of resisting Russian aggression.
We would be glad to know if the consent of Tur-
key has been obtained to her own disarming.
But even this is not all. Is Nicolaieff nu aromal
in the Black Sea ? If Russia is at liberty to main-
tain an enormous naval arsenal at Nicolaieff, the
stipulation not to rebuild Sebastopol is utterly un-
availing. Let us suppose for a moment that the
construction of the proposal be that all forte on the
immediate coasts of the Euxine are to be dis-
• mantled ; the consequence is this, that Turkey is
bound to leave the entrance to the Bosphorus un-
protected, as well as all her Asiatic and European
sea-board uncovered by any military or naval ar-
senal, while Russia is at liberty to build and equip
a fleet at Nicolaieff, which she can at any moment •
float down the waters of the Elaine, ready to
descend upon the coasts which the generous pro-
tectors of Ottoman independence purpose to leave
undefended by a single fort.
The Minister who will propose to bind Turkey
by such a stipulation will be her treacherous as-
sassin.

This is the consequence of what appears a mere
affectation of language, substituting the phrase
" neutralisation of the Black Sea," for thip old and
intelligible phrase "cessation of Russian prepon-
derance in the Black Sea." We do not want the
Black Sea neutralised ; what we do want is that
Turkey and Russia should be placed in such rela
tive positions that Russia will be deprived of the
power of seizing on Constantinople by her superior
maritime strength. It is impossible to believe that
if this object had been really contemplated by the
proposal, it would not have been framed in lan-
guage clear, direct, and unequivocal. Btt still
more remains lurking in these villanous paragraghe.
The right of Russia to hold Circassia is covertly
admitted. What eight has any convention be-
tweea the belligerent powers to bind the Cireas-
sians to erect no forts or arsenals upon the Black
Sea ? Circassian independence is utterly ignored.
Russia and Turkey are treated as the sole owners
of the sea-board of the Black Sea, and upon the
supposition of this exclusive joint ownership the
sea is to be "neutralised."

The British Government never should have given
the least sanction to such a proposal. But what- .
ever be the degree of sanction that has been given,
when these proposals come to be discussed in de-
tail—if ever they do so—the Ministers are traitors
to their country who will not insist upon these
points.

upon just two paragraphs of these*
treacherous proposals. But surely we have said
enough to point out the peril that attends negotia-
tions framed on such a basis, and the absolute ne-
cessity which exists that in that negotiation, it
ever we enter on it, the representative of England,
whoever he may be, should fully perceive the
snares that are laid for him—should rightly appre-
ciate the conditions which the security of Europe -

sist upon those conditions in plain, in bold, and in
unmistakeable terms. • ,
If these be so, it is yet possible for the country
to escape the peril in which the treacherous wiles
of Austrian mediation have involved W.
