THE EUROPEAN WAR.
VIEWS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS.

Until further information arrives, it viii be impos-

II may be remembered that several previous official
changes have taken place since the commencement
of the present difficulties; and Ria Pasha, whose
appointment ID mentioned in the telegraphic des.
patches, has, ON diilerent occasions resigned and
resumed his place in the Ministry. The removal Of

statement that the modified Cabinet is fsvors-
BILE TO compromise with Russia. It is, how
ever, Tar more probable that the ministerial
crisis has been cansed by personal dissensonr, or
by disputes on questions Of detail. 1t is well
known that Russian agents have been busily occu-
pied in attempting, by individual corruption, to
form party at CoDstsntinople In favor of direct and
separate negotiations with 81. Petersburg. From
the time when Peter the Great escaped captivity or
death by the of similar MEANS there have always
unfortunately, been Turkish functionares ready to
accept bribes from the hereditary enemy Of their
country OF late years. however the national spirit
has both revived and purified itself and the traitor
who should sell the last hopes of Ottoman independ-
ence would not only risk his life, but would find it
impossible to accomplish his object Tho Turkish
population has not taken arms for the purpose Of
throwing itself on the mercy If Russia, at the will
OF any minister but it il perfectly Ineligible that
political partissns should handy accusations Of
treason.
The retirement Of the seraskier, and Of one or
more Of his colleagues, may not improbably have
been 0ccasi0ned by differences Of opinion as to the
conduct of the campaign, and AZ to the extent to
which the operations OF the war are to be controlled
by England and France. 1t is obvious that the
two great powers cannot enter on serious struggle
without securing to themselves the choice Of ending
It when their object shall have been c,omplished
Turkish statesman may justiaably wish to recon
tor no such purpose that the Allies are arming
by land and by sea and disposition on the
part OF the new administration to confine the war
to objects in which the support Of the Western
be represented, by party opponents, as indicating
spirit OF compromise with Russia. Il is evident,
however that the solietude of the more prudent OF
the 6ulfans advisers to identify the policy Of the
to objects which England and France are prepared
to enforce, Is o. far as possible from implying viii
lingness TO make any concession to the enemy.
The result of the present suspension Of operations
in Asia can scarcely fail to be advantageous to the
Ottoman cause. The passage of the Russian rein-
forcements is checked, while the conveys Of the
Turkish transports are actively moving from Con-
staDtinople to Trebizond and Batoum. Kurschid

self into indignant contempt for the criminal who Is
sDgly responsible for this wanton and useless war.
The alleged determination OF Austria and Prussia
to remain neutral is nothing new. The material
fact to be considered is Count Orlofs failure to
obtain pledge Of neutrality. The solicitude mani
tested by the Court OF Vienna to remain on terms
Of amiiy with the Gar, has always been accom-
panied by protest, express or implied against that
territorial sggrandizement which, having formed the
original object Of the war Is now temporarily accom-
plisbed When Count Buol assured the allies at diff
ferent stages of the negotiations, Of his implicit
lance on the imperial promise to respect the nteg
rify Of Turkey, he undoubtedly intended to obtain
security for the ullment of that promise by putting
the goodfaith Of the Gar TO practical test The

TO resist all territorial aggrandizement Of Russia are
fully entitled to the confidence of Europe for they
pledge the Cabinet Of Vienna to policy with wioh
its interests and It's honor alike identified. There
is little fear that any Austrian statesman will ever
acquiesce in transaction which would close the
Danube 10 Germany. Russia, however, has nothing
to gain by the war, II her old frontiers are to be
maintained; and therefore, when the Principalities
finally evacuated, peace will be In view. Until
that result is attained 1t is certain that Austria will
watch the invader with hostile vigilance.
II would be wiser and safer policy, on the part
of the great German Courts, to avert the outbreak
Of the war by throwing their weight into the scale
but it is fair to recollect that England and France
have not yet finally committed themselves by acts.
Other Powers may naturally wait until events
have proved war TO be unavoidable; and they
may then in order to prevent its continuance, deter
mine to render the stronger side irresistible. The
decision Of Prussia may. perhaps, be practically
given when operations commence In the Baltic The
