" The Turks have thus combined the privileges Of
selfsupportng Government with the advantages pro-
eced State and have gone to without mourning the
full risk of its penalties On the supposition that they
unaided expel the Russians from the Principates
their is justifable, but this superstition our
whole trouble for the last six months has been utterly
gratutous On the contrary hypothesis they can hardly
be warranted in attempting do after their own fashion
what they must ultimately leave to be done by others
under conditions of greater perpexty than before
" As Europe had taken the responsibility of protecting
the Ottoman empire it should have been left TO pursue
It's own policy OF peace or give its signal for war;
whereas charged with the obligation of pre
serving Turkey and yet threatened the same time with
the loss of that peace for the sake which the obligation
was assumed. la ordinary transactions the safeguard
against such is the conditional character
aaXed TO the protection afforded which is naturally made
contingent upon the proper department the
party Here however, this surety fails for the support
of Europe is given European grounds and would be
called for with the same mperatiyeness whatever might
be the policy Of the Porte
is perfectly true that though the Russians created
easus bc before the midsummer the Turks did not de
clare till after Mchaemas that even this declaration
was conditional and that further suspension of hos
ties was assented to by the Diyan at the earnest in
stance OF its supporters But these circumstances prove
only that the Porte did exhibit forbearanoe whereas we
must needs think that such orbearance should the
position OF the Ottoman empire have been
in its extent with the views Of its protectors.
The Governments of Europe eagerly engaged in
the Turks have taken the matter into their hands
until the efforts OF Their supporters had been abandoned
The Ottoman manifesto undoubtedly justifabe, but
only the manifesto Of nation competent to fight
own battles and to bear Its responsibilities As
declaration from protected State it failed in its argu-
ment for no reason could be shown for endangerng Eu
ropean interests when the avowed object of the quarrel
might have been obtained without any such risks"

Respecting the alleged attempt al further negotiation
between the belligerents, the London Times says:
at is distressing reflect upon the promising pros
poets of the negotiation thus violently interrupted but
may state that the settlement rudey adjourned
did really appear be at hand The assent of the Otto
Government had been actually obtained to note
which, it had been drawn up with the full knowledge
of the Cars ayowed views could hardly have failed at ST.

afterwards more particularly through despatch of Count
Nesserodes had explained the conditions by which he was

ustmen appeared to be substantially accomplished
give effect to negotiations thus successfully pro-
ceedng that extension of the preliminary arnstce as
recently announced agreed to by the Ottoman Gov
eminent; but in this respect appears the Diyan
had given promise beyond its power of performance
Whether the army refused to obey the orders from Con-
stantinople, whether is probable there
time enough for these orders reach it before hos
es had commenced is question of little consequence
We not disposed to attribute any wilfuness any
psincerty the Turkish Government; the contrary,
have doubt that they truly anxious to obtain
the recognition of their claims without further risk but
it is clear that allowance be made in these transact
tons for the operation of Power entirely distinct from
the constituted authorities of the Ottoman Empire
