The abase which the opposition journals do not fear
to make of our explanations on the affairs of the East,
cannot divert us front the. duty of scrupulously enlight-
ening the &bile on such iesportant interests. We con-
tinue to oppose facts to passions, and well supported
conjectures to foolish illusions. Peace and order we 0,

need not be surprised at having to defend them ekes;
notly againit 'dyer sae ier "rho are always the same, who
on their side understand too well that wars and revolu-
tions are also intimately connected. This double situa-
tion explains their language and ours; it reveals the
aciet of their fears or their desires, mid at the same
time of the foresight of the Cabinets. Considering, under
this point of view, the general affairs, we understand
the part acted by the Opposition and the wisdom of the
Governments. Men who have any memory may judge
whether, during the last fourteen years, nations have
been deceived by the organs of power or by those of
its adversaries. The pass advises them to place all con-
fidence in the future; events are in our favour. This
eloquence is much better than phrases. It is thus that,
taking care to place before the eyes of our readers the
isms, more or less favourable, which we received ham
Constantinople, we have taken the precaution to warn
them that it was advisable to expect in such negotia-
tions, cm such grounds and with such adversaries, nume-
rous akernatises which might delay the denoremeni, bet
cannot prevent its attainment. We call to mind the
conferences at Akerman, full of incidents of the same
kisd of impotent resistances, of false sallies, of hesita
liens of every kind, and which ended abruptly with the
maple* acceptance of the Russian Ultimatum.
Them must know very little of the history of the
Ottoman diplomacy and the character of the Turkish
motion who have not foreseen all those difficulties (fa•
feu), and show some alarm or surprise at them : it is
the nature of things and places, the want of foresight
in these who are surprised at them.
At the moment when we speak, the Ambassadors
have not quitted Constantinople; thus this argument
fails those who make use of it as a presage of war. But
we will not tree leave them a pretext.. Let us suppose
with them that the Ambassadors have departed: what
is this departure, according to the terms of the Treaty
of the 6th of July, which Is the only certain and inva.
stable basis of all possible conjectures respecting the
affairs of the East ? For the Powers do not, and will
apt ever desire, jointly er severally, - any thing more
than they have already desired, viz to succour Immo-
sky, to stop the effusion of blood, without capacity;
my indemnity besi. es the gratitude of the victims, the
tardy admiration of history, and the protection of Htst
who watches over Kings. •
to what manner does this make a war ? Where is
