specifications OF the conditions under which the
Danubian Provinces might be occupied by the
tros ps either OF the Sultan or the Car, aud ths
treaty the Car deliberately broke. The treaties
cor cerning The Orthodox Church Of the East to
which appes. is low made, have been 50 ar o.

ton In the course OF the negotiations ne repeat
edly declared that he asked for no extension u
the rights with which he WAS alreao- invested by
existing conventions between the two governments,
but simply required that those rights sooud be con-
4 frmed. Yet nothing eaa be clearer than t2al
treaty il already ngioate, would rather suiler than
gain by gratuious assertion q its validity, NOT 20
metton that the P tie plainly at liberty 70 de-
cline any such ,essary act, without exposing l.
self to declaration of war.

Russian manifesto will be nearly superfuous, for 1t is
improbable that the Turkish army could be stopped

sofren.d manifesto Of the Gar We give il ns trans

this hombastc outbCrst q the depot, receive the
statement that Russian prisoners u waT have already
reached Ccnstantinoyle, and that the entire amount
OF the Russian corps a 0ra(e which o ner Pasha has
bae eed in that cd desac Wallachia does no exceed
400Jc. Unless the foresight, proHptituIe, and ener
gy hitherto displayed by the Turkish comnander.n-

Russians are i'll qualified to turn the tide of an

N march has exposed them to an unequal contest

| Turks may therefore DE fairly expected. But the
vanity aud presumption OF the Russian Imperial
manifesto Is, If possible exceeded by its b.asphe
my. This il unfortunately no new or unparalleled
characteristic. We have had re Deans performed

security that ihes will lot 30 repey their pre-
datory aggTessons. But, should the struggle be
luckily protracted, can we eXpect of human ua ure
to maintain thia Unprecedented moderation? The
mele excitement OF successive victories is itself
enough TO make men forget themselves And, as the
Turkish army advances in pursuit Of its retreAtng
struggling foe, the war will be carried into scenes
crowded win terrible and paintul associations for
them. The atrocities perpetraed uy the Russians at
the siege and sack Of lsmai, and many similar ira
dtous will be brought back to their memories With
all the lveliness OF reality. Who could woDder-if

to ,eaIiate on the descendants OF the but hers Of
lsina,lcaught IN an attempt to perpetrae the same
crimes as their ancestors, all that in that doomed

Is has been tauItiDgy asked by the aoettors Of
Ru sia in the press Ii the Turks are able to cope
single hanced WITH the Russians where is the need
70 support then. - The answer is easy. 1t is tue
interest and du,y OF the iependent nations of Eu
rope to assist one If Their number, when aiessly
governments who would despoil their neigh

ration o. France and England with curkey:-The
CONTEXT between Russia and three ID Powers will Of

right TO iaereede for mercy T. the PROSTATE brag-
CART Of Russia when their combined arms have
baiiied him. 1t il, therefore, gratifying to learn
after all the responding vaticinat.ons OF those
