THE EASTERN ouESrioN.-The Morning
| Post says, few days must elapse before
the present suspense can be put an end to-
and before we can know the final determl
nation of Russia, expressed in her answer
to the various negotiations set on foot.
Firstly, there is project especially en-
ana,ing from our own cabinet.
Srcoadly, there is a proposal which origi-
ualed Nth NJ Bruck, aud to which the as
sent of the ambassadors, of the great pow
ers at Constan1lnopie, as well as that of the
Porte itself, has been obtained
1hudly, there is a plan in which France
gives her assent only on condition of con
siderable modification.
And toarthiy, it is affirmed that the cab
met of Prussia has also originated project
of arrangement
These, the Post beliegGs, are the various
negotiations which have been submitted to
the Gear. Until their acceptance or relec-
ton, the contents will remain secret. We
are now upon the verge OF the rue crisis.
II the Emperor reject the negotiations, Eng
land and France will know their course -
If, however, he accepts the negotiations,
the proposals made can have but one or two
possible resuIts--either the Emperor will
acquire the right of protectorale Of the
Greek Christian subjects of the Porte, or
he will not obtalp that privilege
1t is Indlsputabe that if the right of Pro-
lectors,e be yielded, the Independence of
Turkey is lost frever. Russia will have
gained the ohec, Of her wishes, while Eng.
land and France will receive severe check
both to their interests and influence. On
the other hand if the Proteclorate be not
acceded To Russia even though certain
concessions uay he made to her sense of
dignity, the O'tomah Empire will be pre-,
served. The two great powers will have
lnlerfered to good purpose and the Empe-
ror of Russia will have abandoned pieten-
sions which are totally inadmissable. fine.
g"taions are rejected, our course is as clear
and honorable as the Post trusts it viii be
decisive
