PAnIs Sunday Evening.
Advices from Vienna Of the Oath that the answer
OF the Emperor Nicholas evasve others declare that
it is in the negative.
Nearly four columns Of the Debate are filed with an
article on the Prussan treaty the conference Of
Bamberg and other circumstances connected with the
OF the great German Powers in the Eastern
question considerable portion of this article consists
Of details which already known the public, but
there IS much interest in the view taken by the Debats
as to the motives by which the great German Powers
actuated The Debats appears to consider that the po
son Of the Emperor Of Russia has become Of great
embarrassment and that let this embarrassment end as
itmay he has to hope that he win the
position that he held before he commenced his last ag
gression against the Porte The should refuse comply
with the injunction Austria aud Prussia to eyacuate
the Prncpaes Of the Danube and abandon his attacks
upon Turkey, he will expose himself to offensive
sures by the great German Powers, and expect to
be attacked on his territory and to be deprived Of
material power and moral prestige III he should obey
that injunction and consent to conference for the regu
laton OF the conditions of peace he must make his
mind to conditions which, although they would leave him
master at home would put end to every idea OF ag
grandzement beyond the limits Of the territory which the
other Powers may consider it safe for him to hold In
choice OF evils however, says the Debas he must choose
the least and there is reserved him chance Of peace
on conditions which would not be absolutely ruinous to
him. This chance, according to the Debats found In
the attisuas that Austria has assumed That Power,
mediating influence If Russia win make concessions
which she shall regard sufficient for the interests Of
Germany she will throw all her weight and that Of the
other German States into the scale She will the
Emperor Of Russia from destruction at the same time that
she will obtain such concessions from him win render
it impossible for him to disturb again the peace Of the

LONDON TIMES OF JUNE 81.
The intelligence which reached yesterday Of the
consent Of the Emperor of Russia to evacuate the Turkish
Territories the demand of Austria and of the actual
retreat Of the Russian forces from Waachia Gurgevo,
and Sstria to the other side of the Pruh brings the
Allied Powers to the most important crisis which has
marked the progress Of the war. -
Never it important to adhere steadily to the
principles which have recently been declared in Paria
be the basis Of the policy Of this country and its
allies was it essential take that this
concession which has been wrested from the Emperor Of
Russia by the combined forces of Europe should not be
converted into weapon against the union Of the Four
Powers, and against ourselves.
We have long foreseen that it, contrary to all proba-
bility and expectation, the Court Of St. Petersburgh
found itself compelled to yield to the last perempto-y
Of Europe, and to relinquish that materia1
which it had seized in opposition to the rights
Of Turkey and the remonstrance of every other State
attempt would be made to consrue their surrender Of the
object stolen into adequate compensation for the rob-
berry, and tits against that danger that called
upon to watch and provide.
The concession Of the Emperor Nicholas is offer to
buy off the alliance of the German Powers any terms
because he is the resistance Of his empire and
his army to the four principal States Of Europe mpos
sble and that if he is to oppose prolonged oppo
sision to England and France can only Be BY Satisfying
the demands of Austria and Prussia IT, indeed that sat-
isfacton sincere and complete it might become the
basis Of the lasting and honorable peace which we all
desire but must be allowed to expect that in attempt
ing to conciiate the German Powers the object Of the
Emperor Nicholas is only to carry the against the
Western Powers with greater activity and perhaps even
tuay to engage Austria and Prussia his side in the
contest These the causes which give intense in
to this stage Of these events and may render
turning point in the affairs Of Europe
In the House of Lords on the evening of the
! 18th Lord BRoUaHAM said !:
My lords, my apprehensions are not for the present

Prncpalities them my lords shall be very apprehen-
Dc apprenenSlve lest Austria, having some
concessions made to her by the Emperor Of Russia shall
call upon enter into negotiations Of which negota
tons confess myself more apprehensive than do Of
war. Hear, hear If diplomacy and treaty, and proto
col shall again be entered upon and proracted by the
Of Russia have not to apprehend that they
may drag through the autumn, and to period when
the Baltic and black Seas viii be in very different crcum
stances from the present? lHear, hear.
We, the Western Powers shall not be committed By
thing that may be done at Vienna Berlin have no dis
trust Of Austria, but say nothing of Prussia. have
confidence in the integrity and character Of the Emperor
of Austria; but if negotiations with the Gar are to be
carried on it will be for If to take part in
them, to say when they shall terminate. hope and
trust that certain time and that not long, will be fixed

Gear will withdraw the be conducted as hereto
FORE 1t would be hard my lords to prognoscate what
we will do hereafter, for much must depend upon our
ally France. But must go to the end, we did
from the beginning until peace shall be obtained, and
coupled with that peace must have guaranty against
repetition Of the proceeding more opportune
for the enemy than the present. in which all his
attempts have proved complete dsappointments Then,
my lords, may have such securities against future
aggression will enable us to call the result Of all

guarantee that peace will be only vain semblance and
little better than armed truce.
