provinces to be a casus belli, and actually de-
spatched an army to dispel the Russian invaders.
But, before this arrangement was fully accom-
plished, the Turks drove the Russians from the
walls of Silistria, the latter evacuated the provinces,
and then new proposals were made to the German
Powers on the ground that the cause of hostilities
had been removed. This has afforded Prussia a
pretext for refusing to join the Western Powers,
and as the Emperor of RUSSIA has declared his
intention to remain within his own territories, and
rely upon the eventualities of war for defence from
attack, Austria is content to afford the negative
assistance of occupying the Danubian provinces
without entering into any offensive operations.
If the slightest confidence could be placed in the
sincerity of our own Government, which ought
never to have been entrusted with the conduct of
this important affair, the wisest course would be to
compel Prussia to come to a definitive conclusion
either as a friend or an enemy, we do not care
which. It may suit the narrow policy of the Ger-
man courts to make peace with Russia, because her
armies have recrossed the Pruth, and they have no
expensive armaments for which to receive compen-
sation, but the common interests of Europe require
more substantial guarantees, and these it is our
duty to obtain at all hazards. We have every in-
ducement to force Prussia to a definitive line of
action, as, in the event of refusal, our fleet might
blockade her ports in the Baltic as easily as those
of Russia, and such a step would have this advan-
tage, that it would put a stop to the surreptitious
means by which the Russian export trade is carried
on through the ports of a state pretending neu-
trality, but in reality acting under Russian influ-
ence, It is, however, in vain to expect any advan-
tage so long as the Earl of ABEIIDUEN is permit-
ted to retain his place, and the next step should be
to make a popular movement for his diemissal,
