doubted,y hold different language with the Emperor
Francis Joseph Buthas the attempt against Sevssopol
has the Russian feet been destroyed and
the forts blown up the relations to Austria will be-
come still hostile For without the aid Of Austria
the troops landed at the Crmea would not have been
available. Russia needs no longer to trouble her,
selfsbout the hostility of the naval powers, since they
can DO her little more hrm. AT the utmost they
only make diversion against Tifs and press the
Russians from TransC aucasis-andin the spring
tinue their Baltic expeditions which can never be de-
csive as the winter VIII allow the exhausted party to
breathe again. On the other hand Russia has hitherto
been destitute of attanable object. Russia cannot
penetrate into the Baltic with her infantry and
airy nor hover over the fleets on the Black Sea-she
cannot therefore protect herself from the blockade
Of her coasts and must constantly all the assai
able points Of her maritime doninions with troops.
She has now slmost million of fighting men in camp
and ganison-but with these she must opprtss her
own land-wagipg war within her own limits, without
hope Of advantage or of ending the contest. But
should Russia succeed in forcing Austria 10 war; and
then conqueriDg a peace, then would the Western
powers also be compelled TO give in, for without the
cooperation without the armed neutrality Of Austria,
the continuation Of the war would be bad investment
of capital in blood and gold. Russia then only pre-
served peace, as long as she could press upon Mora
via, and threaten Vienna. The Russian diplomacy
has clearly given ths to be understood By the yield
pg of the Princpalities che vacated the April agree
ment. Scarcely was the seal removed from the in
strument, when Prussia slipped out. When Austria
recommended the four points IN St. Petersburg, and
the Russian Cabinet drily rejected them the Rus
sian dipomatsts in Berlin gave it to be understood
Al. A. T. 70 nd had MI
rejected the form in which Count Buol clothed hs
propositions. When the Continental war broke out
defect Of form was also the pretense. The comment
ary on the Petersburg love of peace YVES the imme-
date command for new levies, and the march OF the
guards. Russia has always shown two faces. She
has constantly spoken of peace in order to furnish
the friends of peace with motives for doing nothing
and at the same time, has promoted by her acts.
Justly considered Russia conclude no peace-the
fanatcsm which she has excited must ermentitsef out
in victory or in surrender The Vienna Cabinet has not
deceived itself for moment-it is preparing itself for
protracted contest-for a in which the alicia
railroad will do service, although il will not be CON-
pleted before 1885, Austria is just isolated from
her German allies. We have as in 1890 to expect
time of Imperial DEGREES, but this time will
be limited. We do not belong to the Pessimists,
their rostrs. True, it sounds suspicious when Aus
tria lie only mentioned therein, as an attacked
party needing to appeal to the April agreement.
The Emperor Nicholas has promised not to at
tack Austria. We believe in every letter Of that
as in our own. But the Car has not promised that
be will never place Austria in position where she
will be compelled to attack him. As often have
unrolled the map, have we not found that in the
tod or
boundary toward Austria What fort but Olnutz
lies between Warsaw and Vienna Cannot battle
no take the Russians to the Danube Can Austria
look on quietly until Russia establish its power of
oente in Poland in order to negotiate further on the
"four points Can she not advance TO an attack in
order to parry blow Was not Russia compelled,
without blow being struck, to retire beyond the
Pruih Was not that clandestine attack of Aus
tria Cannot Russia now effect the same in Poland
And who is then the attacking The attacked party
He who raises the to strike he who strikes the
former in his unprotected part
When Austria comes into a position whore she
must strike-when che falls upon Poland-.hen il is
certain that there will be neutrality between the
Rhine and the Vistula. The German powers have
hitherto been only for moderate measures with Rus
sia because they earnestly desired peace. The Ger
man hearts were long in the camp OF Field Marshal
Won Hess As when the first shot is fred, all the hopes
Of those inclined peace depend only on aspeedy ter
mnation of the war, when the first shot is fred on
the German roops the enthusiasm Of the German peo-
pie will draw every aggard with them In the attack
on Galcia they will find attack on the fsherland,
for, whatever statesmen may think Of the ncorpora-
ton or non-incorporaon Of the Austrian Empire into
the German alliance, in the feeling and heart Of the
patriots those lands have long belonged to our body
and our members. There was a time during the
present year when peace was possibe-namely for
fourteen days three weeks from the Goth OF April.
Had the German alliance Immediately acceded to the
proposal and at the time consented to levies and
marches Russia must have yieded-she could have
yielded much without dsgracng herself when such an
imposing power was moving against her borders
Should this situation now be once repeated, we
doubt tina, all the friends OF peace will for the sake
of peace show their resolution and spare Russia hu
initiation and long inhctions-for when Germany
rises for her threatened borders for the first time with
one accord and one soul, man. not even the Car,
will be disgraced by yielding.
