The intelligence which reached US yester-
terday Of the consent cf tie Emperor Of
Russia to eyacuate the Turkish territories
on the demand OF Austria, and of the actu
al retreat of the Russian forces from Walla-
cha, Glurgevo, and Silislra TO the other
side Of the truth, brings the allied powers 10
the most important crisis which has vet mar
ked the progress of the war Never was II
more important TO adhere steadily TO the prin
clpes which have eceuly been declared IN
Parliament to be the basis Of the policy of
tins country and It's allies never was II
more essential to take care that this conces-
sion, which has been wrcsied from the I'm
peror Of Russia by the combined forces Of
Europe, should not be converted into a wea-
pom against the union of the four powers,
and against ourselves. We have long fore
seen that If, contrary to all probability and
expectation, the Court of St. Peiersburgh
found itself compelled to yield 10 the last
peremptory summons OF Europe, and to re
llnqush that " material guarantee" which it
had seized in opposition to the rights of Tur-
key and the circumstances of every other
State, an attempt would be made to construe
this surrender of the object stolen into an
adequate compensation for the robbery, and
II Is against that danger that we are now cal
led upon to watch and provide. The con-
cession of the Emperor Nicholas is TO buy
off the alliance of the German Powers on a
ny terms, because he ls aware that the ress-
lance Of his empire and his army to the four
principle states of Europe is impossible, and
that, he is to oppose a more prolonged OPP
position to England and France, II can only
Prussia. IT. indeed, that satisfaction was
sincere and complete, 1t might become the
basis of the lasting and honorable peace
which we all desire but we must be allow
ed to suspect that IN attempting to conciliate
the German Powers, the object OF the En-
Peror Nicholas is only TO carry on the war a.
galnst the Western Powers with greater ac-
tvity, and perhaps eventually to engage
Austria and Prussia on his side in the con
test These are the causes which give an
intense interest to this stage of these events,
aud may render II the turning point in the
affairs Of Europe.
The political effect of the last appeal of
the German Governments must however,
have been powerfully assisted by the militia
ry reversles of the Imperial armies. The
intelligence of the defeat of the Russians
before Silistria, and of their decided retreat
from Bulgaria and Wallarhia, was arrogant
ly conlradlcted when the first particulars rea-
ched US by electric telegraph a week ago -
