Tho Baltic brings very important rumors

Tho Baltic brings very important rumors from
the seat Of war. We publish extracts from her mails
to-day, by which II appears that the Car consents
to evacuate the Prncpalities, and that the Russian
forces retreat from Walachia, Giurgevo and Sstria
These accounts are based upon dispatches received
from Vienna, to the effect that, 'as mark Of high
consideration for Austria Russia consents to evace
the Turkish territories" and that 'the Russians
in full retreat to Moldavia." The general character
Of the news would indicate n complete surrender
the part Of the Gar but it must be taken with many
grains Of allowance. The arrival Of another steamer
may give altogether different aspect to the state If
affairs in the East Even il the rumors to which We
have referred above correct tmay turn out that it
is only ruse Of Russian continuance to regain the
ground she has lost in the contest far and play
her part the more effectively hereafter. Itbears
very striking resemblance to thespirt of procrasna-
ton displayed in Russian diplomacy from the COM
mencement Of the difficulties.
But we have been lead to understand from the
tone of the English press and from the debates in the
British Parliament, that something moro would be
required of his Czarship than the evacuation of
the Prncpalities We have been informed from
high sources that "material gudrdnt tees would be
required Of Russia. There is something more
the Russian forces across the Pruth The Allies
to in with their terms demanding their mate
rial guarantees" in addition to the matter Of the
preservation Of Turkey from Russian aggression
This opens new issue between the belligerants aud
we shall see how far the Emperor of all the Russias
will succumb to the acquisitions Of the Western pow
ers for material guarantees" for their services to
Turkey in threatening what they could do if Russia
persisted in her aggressions upon the Turkish eri-
tory.
To the Turks belong the credit of the victories over
the Russians They have achieved those victories by
their own forces. They have struggled bravely and
successfully without the active assistance of their al
lies, and they have crowned themselves with glory
On the other hand the Russians have disappointed
the world in the estimate heretofore sci upon their
military strength. They have proved themselves
weak and worthless as solders-ir we are to Judge
by their military operations thus far and if peace is
to be established according to the accounts we have
by the Balticsnews, "Me great European Var" has
turned out to be one of the most stupendous hum
bugs of the day.
