From the London Times, September
We publish this morning an authentic copy OF the note
originally proposed by the French cabinet aud adopted
by the Conference at Vecna which has SHIFTED
70 Us from Constantnople Few documents OF q sim liar
character have ever inspired greater curiosity and inte
rest for upon lis terms and phrases has hung and posi-
Rs the o q G ss sS o In Ss
quired by the Divan We have asc strained however,
toat these lions are of verbal character and that
Ilnations mentioned by the Journal Ss Dsbats. They
appear, on the contrary to aac the substantial prov
El0nB and meaning OF the document so slightly that
hope they will not occasion any serious Opposition de-
lay 1T ST. Petersburg The note itself is before
readers and must tell its tale We never sur.
prsed to find that the terms Of compromise opsn to
srimadvs rsion from the extreme parties both Sides
ard that those who have no. scruped to rec ,mmend
policy leading to the risks and evils war should
their dissatisfaction at the conditions Of peace,
before they are acquainted with them. Bat although
this very common error on the part Of those who
seek to regulate public opinion il is and short
sighted view of the interests of states and look back
portion Of the labors Of this journal with
satisfaction than earnest and not unfreq uent az
tempts to defend public arrangements Of this nature
attempts which may venture to call successful since
our have been ratified BY the d.
to mpart excessive Importance to the minutia OF
gotta IONS and TO argue as the fate of the world de
pended on hairs breadth less Of conceson to
the other of the contendng parties Bu. that is
to argue the whole field Of political interests
narrowed to ISSUE and the broad
terests Of the world which are summed up in the usn
enance of peace not Of greater moment than the
specific question in dispute taesms ought to take
comprehensive survey, sud to set not only the
merits of each question in itself but its relations 10
general interests and to the public welfare.
On there grounds we do not hesitate to express
conviction that this Dote does Include terms sufficiently
favorable TO the essential interests Of the Ottoman
nnhappy lead to its ultimate rejection ana TO grsver
consequences, We are equally convinced that this i'll
advised determination would have the most injurious
ment. II has indeed been said that this note differs
scarcely at all from Count Nesselrodee ultimatum but
original and obecosal demands Ia reality the tenor
Of the note much more resembles Rsdschid Pashas
proposal from which it is in great part taken. It's
tue however, that the note does contain two points
which have already been criticised in no friendly
spirit in this country. 1t provides that the Greek
rite shall, ia all cares, participate in the same
privileges and CONCESSIONS made to other Chefs
tian churches and i. declares that the Sultan
will adhere faithfully to the stipuations of the
treaties Of Ksnsrdji and Adrianople with re-
ference to the worship of his Christian subjects What
is there in the sghtet degree derogaory to the Porte
these declarations The fest Is merely repetition OF
a. a nat rla in
various international engagements: and H oncsssons
are to BIO negotiated BY Christian power in favor Of
its reigionists Mussulman empire il Il not cas-

point the origin Of the dis pute about the Hoy
Places and that question settled this very prn
cple by undertaking that whatever privilsgss were
granted to branch Of the Christian church should be
equally granted to the others In reality, this engage

ties in the East than is TO the greatest them for
cannot be supposed that the most numerous and pow
