The intelligence which reached yesterday Of the
sep of the Emperor of Russia 10 the Turkish
territories on the demand of ANtra and of the actual re-
treat Of The Russian forces from Waacha GurgeyO and
Siria the other side of the Pruth brings the aled
posers to the important Crisis which has yet marked
The progress Of the Never was It more important 70
adhre steadily the which have recently been
declared in Parliament 10 be the basis OF the policy oi
this country and its allies; ncvr was II more essenai
10 take care that this concc-s.sn, which has Deen
wr, sted from the Emperor of Russia by the combined
forces Of Europe shold not be converted into weapon
against the union of the four powers and ainst ourselves
We hnve long forcseen that IT, contrary to all probability
md expectaton the Court OF ST. Peersburgh found ise
compelled TO yield TO the last pereInpory summons 9i
Furope and renqush that material guarantee Whch

remopsrances of tvey other State an attempt would be

provide The concession of the Emperor Nicholas is an
ner in buy off the alliance Of the German Powers on any
terms because he that the resistance OF ms EN-
re and his army the four principal States OF Europe -
impossible and that he Is 10 oppose miOrJ M

that satisfaction were sincere and complete II msn'
become the basis of the lasting and honorable peace
which we all desire but must be allowed
TO suspect that in attempting to concilate the Ger
man flowers the object of the Emperor Nicholas IS
only 10 carry on the against the Western Powers with
greater activity and perhaps eventually to engage Austria
ana Prussia on bis side in the contest These are the
causes which give intense interest to this stage OF nec
events and may render the turning point in the affairs
of Europe. &c.,
The talitical eject Of the last appeal of the German
Government must however have been powerfully assist
h, The military reverses OF the Imperial armies. The in
teeenoe of the defeat OF the Russians before Sstrin
and of their decided retreat from bulgaria and aacnla,
was arropanty conradicted when the first particulars
reached us by electric telegraph week let every
usrtcuar which was then hastily transmitted to US
bas since been confirmed and we may now con
assert that the disasters sustained by the Russian
forces have been rapid and complete than c0ud
have been imagined Without fighting single general

the Russian campaign the Danube in 1884 has proved
one of the caamiious and dsgraceui in the MIL
tsry annals of any great European Power tor, as
they were unable TO force the line OF the Turkish
fortresses against the native garrisons whue me
invading army was fresh and entire II became impossible
that they should retrieve their Losses and their discomi-
ture sufficiently to offensive operations against ar
more powerful antagonists irince Pashkiew'isch, zen
Scbiders and Gen. LADDERS who the ablest officers
in command have all received wounds which rem them

In this important movement which has already changed
the whole aspect of the war, we are more ince ~ s
cern tbe results of these military reverses than Of
nol,ca combination The Russians have rctreaed FOR
The simplest and most peremptory OF all reasons-Dcc,u
having failing their attack Siistria they couid not
hold position south of the Danube, and because an az
tempt to retain Walachie with the Austrian army on ther
bese Of operations have compelled their entire army
10 Law down its arms They are, in short defeated ana
from the moment that Prince PasaieWch assumed ine
command he contemplated the necessity OF CONTRACTING
the whole line of operations and turning the front OF the
army from the south TO the west This ch ,nge i even
more important in its character than In the dreon Oh
the forces for il is change from offensive to defensive
war; and our readers may remember that II Is pecseiy
the occurrence reckoned upon several moaths ago
whenever the military attitude and resources OF
Austria should be fully developed. But II Is now
too late for the Emperor Nicholas 10 make merit OF al
inevitable necessity Austria herself to wnom ne dsa.
Gates this act of submission, must be perfectly aware ,n
