PROPOSED PARTITION OF TURKEY.
The London papers publish the and confidential
that have passed between the British Govern
ment and their Ambassador at ST. Peersburgh since the
Of the present year. The documents are
voumnous, filling eight columns Of type and
are of much interest they relate in dialogue shape the
conversations between the Emperor NICHOLAS and Sir G.
H. SEYMOUR, the English Representative at Constantine
pe In Of these conversations the Emperor distinct
y nmated that the interests (meaning the action) of
Russia and Austria identical in the Eastern ques-
on and further that France endeavoring ehroil
Europe in in the East in order advance objects Of
her own among other things obtain possession of Tuns
In talking of the position of the Turkish Empire NIcHo
said he would consent to give Egypt and the Island
Of Candia to England while Russia would keep the pro-
tectorae Of the Prncpalites Serva, and Bulgaria In
connexon with these documents saso published memo
ranium by Count NEssELRopE for approval to the
British Government, and founded on communications
from Nicholas subsequently to his visit England in
1874 The drift Of the last named memorandum is that
Russia and England having apreponderance the former
by land and The latter by sea- in the affairs of Turkey
should to understanding how to divide the spos
in the event Of the Turkish Empire q ''crumbling to
pieces." Russia and Austria, being unison the
considered that il highlands adhesion could be gained
France would be compelled to submit to their views
The London correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American says, in speaking of these documents:
They clearly show the Emperor's efforts to entrap
the English Government first to acquesce in belief that
the Ottoman Empire was the verge of its downfall,
and hen if this point could have been achieved OBJ
tain from the English Government expression Of
tment respecting the partition Of territory, not what
they would like, but what they would not like; being at
the same time, as Sir Hamilton Seymour observes in
tentionay nexplicit respecting the occupation of Con-
stantnope, which, however he positively declared
long he had q musket should not be occupi-
ed by England, France Austria, any other great
ton He held bait, in tho event of disribu-
ton of tie Ottoman succession the possession Of Egypt
by England, and he threw in Gambia as make weight
but Sir Hamilton Seymour with manly honesty, observes
in his despatch to Lord John Russell tAs did not wish
the Emperor should imagine that English public
want caught by this Of overture, simply
swered that had always understood that the English
views upon Egypt did not go beyond the point of secur
ing safe and ready communication between British
India and the mother country.
"These papers highly interesting we'll impor
tant They exhibit the constantly cherished views of
Russia against Turkey anu the fact that the successive
forsgn Ministers Of this country have Indignantly repu
dated the proposition of dsposng beforehand of the Pro-
vnces under the dominion of the Sultan They also show
a startling fact if the Emperor of Russia is to be be-
leyed, that there exists between Russia and Austria
already entire conformity of principles in regard to
the affairs of Turkey-as principle of perfect identity
Thus the cooperation Of Austria with the Western Powers
only be viewed with great suspicion and it is well
perhaps these documents have been given to the public
for their eyes will be opened and they viii have
better comprehension of the position of the game
being played The neutrality of Prussia Is another
picous matter for it is openly said in quarters not i'll
informed that Prussia is threatened with the reconsttu
ton of Poland into kingdom under the scepre of the Rus
sian Czarowitsch Alexander with Prince Czartorysk Prime
Minister and bis partans in all the best Offices OF the
State. Russian Poland thus under monarchy the Gar
calculates that neither Prussan Austrian Poland
would remain quescent but would declare themselves
part and parcel of the kingdom and throw off their
Austrian and Prussan masters"
