. To up succinctly what we have said, the uima-
san drawn al Vienna is not ours It is the work of
Austria and the powers, who. after having first OF all
agreed to lis original text have recognised as such a.

being compromised We, our part, have done every
thing that depended upon US TO shorten unnecessary de-
lays, nasmuch when the arrangement Was laid before

compromising his own standing and without exposing

fresh and signal breach, Even further concessions
with regard TO the expressions OF the would be OF
no use, for by your despatch that the Ottoman

DECLARATIONS AND OPINIONS or THI ENGLISH pRHss
From Loadsn Morning Post.
The whole aspect OF the eastern question is suddenly
Ii is but two days ago that in announcing our read
the rejection OF the Turkish notifications OF the Vi
emma noe, stated that the for that rejection
signed by The Emperor OF Russia was, that 10 accept the
modification The hands oil the divan, alter he had
ceded to note considered satisfactory by the medaiing
powers, would be incompatible with his dignity Our
assertion was quite correct.
But has wledge that, since that refusal
and that assignment of Russia has addressed to
the four powers statement which has certainly been
ceived in England with profound astonishment In Civ
ing detailed Tor the rejection Of the notifications,
the Czar treats fully Of the Vienna note itself He con-
sdes thai nol-as the four powers intended itas

MensckoH note, but as identical in result with the IA.
doc which conceded TO Russia the right OF
interference between the subjects OF the Sultan and their
sovereign, and involved the anniha'ion OF Turkish in
dependence,
The question, therefore, stands at this moment not
merely as IL did when Prince Menschikoh sailed from
Constan,inoplc bn with all the OF the failure
OF months Of negotiation, OF cumulative excitement. and
OF consistent double-deaiing.
Turkey was right when she refused to sign the note
She doubted the Cars good faith when the rest OF Eu-
rope believed be impossible for even Russian craft

would have rendered impossible.
The Emperor OF Russia, by his present ACT has placed
Turkey completely in the right, and himself fatally in
the wrong. f@Hs
Turkey must not now sign the original note, because
the Gar msreprescnts IT, The notifications become
necessity and their refusal by Russia " positive.

expressing some OF the reasons alleged BY the Gar for
