It is now many months since public attention
has been much eXt tied by the uncertain state Of
affairs in Europe, and has daily expected some
development OF the policy OF the various pow-
ers Immediately or remotely interested. AS 1t
is very probable that doubt and uncertainty
have hung even over the cabinet themselves it
is not surprising hat the quid aunc should have
puzzled like wise. BY the confession Of the been
foreign Journals which may seem to- deserve a
semi official character, the relations which
have been caused by lale events, are somewhat
complicated. This complication, as to the
affAiis Of the East, arises out of the posi-
