1t is asserted that the British consul is prepared to
leave this city as soon the Russians shall have oc
cupicd the principalities.
THE QUESTION IN AUSTRIA.
The part Of Austria, in presence OF an eventual
aggression of Russia on Turkey, is thus traced out
in . despatch from Vienna, April Is, 1926, by NJ. de
Tatischeff to H. de Nesselrode -
Austria will make sincere efforts to induce the Porte to
satisfy demands II the negotiation should bs estab
hshed on our fropters 1t win not be difficult to
watch with effect that it shs not be peded by Austria
on the othsr hand, should take place. it is proba
bic that as long as we conhne ourselves to ths occups
ton OF the pIncpsides Austria will remain passive
but operations extend the other bank Of the
Danube our armies should the Balkan as that
the very exstspoe of ,he Ottoman power would be-
menaced with inmu@nt peril, an. inclined 70 think
that Austria lD hasten 10 make of her part in the
spoil This dspo'ition appssrs 10 me SO probable that
after our troops shall have taken possession OF the
p,ncIelties the Turks do not quietly omi to he
diions offered to them, and fthe state OF like
s to be prolonged without being transported beyond
the Danube do not hesitate give my opion that
in that case the occupation of Croatia aud Of all the
lesser Walls chil ought not to be neglected for if that
Austrisns into it. But case an act of hostility
be arwehesded against US on the part Of austria
The Journal de Franct0t has an article, said to
government suggesting mode in which the differ
ence between Russia and Turkey might perhaps be
settled. According to this plan, Turkey would con-
cede to Russia the required binding note to guarantee
the maintenance of the privileges and immunities Of
the Greek Church, and in return Russia would remit
to the Porte note, also in binding form, proms-
ing that these privileges should not degenerate into
abuses calculated to trench upon the integrity of the
Ottoman empire. If fthis be seriously the suggestion
OF the Austrian government, there is nothing in it
inconsistent with the suppostion that she is abetting
Russia in this matter The whole question, assuming
Russia to be sincere, is but one Of form. But that
question of form involves the humiliation Of Turkey
IN the eyes OF her own subjects, and the exataton
OF Russian prestige in an equal proportion. Russia
knows that the persistence Of Turkey in refusing the
gressive designs and that the concession of the ul
matum would advance them, no matter what counter
engagement she might enter into to get over the
present difficulty. After the passage Of the Pruth
it has become impossible for diplomacy to invent
any solution ending in Russia gaining her point
which will not weaken Turkey, and discredit her
allies.
THE QUESTION IN PRUSSIA.
The correspondent Of the London Times, writing
from Berlin under date of July sth thus refers to the
Eastern question:
Last Monday morning an unusually early council
was held at which the ministers Of all the great
powers were present, and the manifesto of the EN-
peror OF Russia formed the subject Of discussion As
have in my last two letters touched the line Of
policy observed by Prussia on this ssubect, will now
only add that the conviction still prevailing in the
ministerial circle that tho fjOpn NJ thn
ban principaltes will only hasten pacific solution
of the question. What hear from persons whose
position makes them perfectly cognizant of the train
OF events and negotiations leads me to the firm ex-
pectation that, by Count Gynlai's intervention on
the part OF Austria, the Emperor of Russia will in
consideration Of the Nesselrode note being signed be
induced to execute cOntre note for the security of
the Porte, engaging never to make Of the former
as comforting on him any right to interfere in the in
terror political affairs Of Turkey.
THE QUESTION in FRANCE.
The Paris correspondent of the London Globe,
Lord Pa.merstoDs organ, writing under date Of July
1lth, says:-"Tne second circular note Of Count
Nesselrode, which appears in the Independence of
Brussels of yesterday, has been the subject Of much
conversation. At the Bourse it was not generally
known, but many of our leading capitalists were in
possession OF it, and the opinion that they express on
it is that it has rather pacific than warlike ten
dency. 1t manifests, they think desire on t1e
part of the Emperor to find some of escaping
honorably from dilemma in which he has placed
himself but which evidently he did not expect would
be the result OF his menaces to Turkey. The at
tempt made by Count Nesselrode to throw the blame
Of the present position Of things upon the English
and French cabinets, and to excuse the occupation
of the prncipalites of the Danube on the pretext
that France and England had first sent their fleets
into the waters of Turkey Is regarded here as one Of
the weakest efforts of modern diplomacy"
1t is asserted that the Minister Of War, in the
course of conversation with the President of the
Chamhpr of Cornmnrcp nj Nantaa fOuchad uno ha
Oriental question: and said: I'VE not bent upon
making ,car; but ifhe Emperor, to mhom the honor
q ms government IS dearer than aH, should think
that the national honor eracts tcdr he vN certainly
not recoa from the necessity"
Paris letter, July IL In London Globe
"The Emperor of Russia had declared in the
strongest manner that if the Sultan rejected his ui
matum the principaities should be occupied. Baeeo
the rejection was pronounced he had made all NJ
arrangements for the realization of his menace, and
long before the French and English fleets moved
for the waters of Turkey, the Russian ambassador
in Paris had declared to the Emperor Napoleon that
cupy the principalities; at the same time declaring
that this ought not to be regarded as an act of hos
tility. After this intimaton, could the Emperor
of Russia expect that Turkey and her allies to
wait for this act OF aggression without adopting any
thing in the way Of defence? They had right to
appreciate this Of aggression in the way that
they have done. The Emperor of Russia might be
sincere in asserting that he did not intend to go

But not that of itself an act Of aggression and
violation of treaties If the Emperor of Russia did
not intend to occupy them, why did he declare that
he would do SOL Were Turkey and her allies to
receive this declaration as an empty menace, and
wait until its realization should find them totally
unprovidtd with the means OF Furnishing that ag-
gression, or preventing other aggressions-or were
they to take those precautions which were fully
justified by the menaces Of Russia To pretend
now that the occupation of the principalities was
the consequence Of the movement of the allied
fleets, is an absurdity-at least such is the opinion
entertained in Paris. Taking the circular note as
q whole, 1t is, before said, regarded here pa
cifc 1t contains some big words but the reasona-
BILE inference to be drawn is, that the Emperor of
Russia has met with resistance which he did not
expect and will now gladly avail himself of any
means of retracting without o sacrifice Of honor.
He protests that if guarantees be given to him
the part of Turkey, he will also give guarantees not
to abuse the concessions that uay be made to him.
There was nothing of this in the language that he
used before he had convinced himself that France
and England were cordially agreed in defending the
Porte against aggression. His assurances of modera
