II will be seen from the above that the idea
is gaining ground that the question still admits
of a pacific solution, and that some measure is
in contemplation which it is hoped will recon-
cle its difficulties 1t is evident that an arbitra-
tion would fail to carry out the objects which
the Allied Powers have in view. namely, q defni-
tive and permanent settlement not only of the
points in dispute, but Of variety of other
issues affecting their position and territorial in
terests, which are liable at any moment again
to disturb the political relations and tranquil
lily of Europe. Besides, the questions to be
arbitrated upon no longer concern Turkey and
Russia alone. The other powers have now q
right to insist that an eflectual stop shall be
put to the encroachments of the latter power,
and that as a preliminary the territories that
have been wrested from Turkey shall be re-
stored. These are questions that the Gar will
never consent to submit to arbitration. We
therefore put aside this hypothesis as the sub
stitution Of what we have reason to believe is
the fact, namely--that the project in contempla-
ton is the more effective and comprehensive
measure of general Congress, which will re-
concile The opposing interests of the different
governments, and unite them in a community
Of action either in concert with, or against the
Gar. In the event Of such combination
taking place it is evident that it will be too
powerful for the Russian Emperor to think of
resisting it; and unless he would lose his posi-
ton as first class power, he must come within
the circle of its influences.
1t is clear from the passage in Lord Claren-
dcn's speech on the opening Of Parliament, to
which we called attention yesterday, that it
is contemplated to embrace both hemispheres
il this grand political scheme, and to trammel
the energies and fetter the expansive tendencies
of this republic, by drawing il within the
sphere of its action. Such project, however
it may suit the interests and further the ute
Iior views of some of the European govern
ments, will never be listened to for a moment
by the people of this continent. Europe has
its peculiar policy, founded on its ancient pre-
JUDGES, varying and complicated institutions,
and geographical distribution. We have ano-
ther, based upon broader and simpler princi-
pies and suited 10 the genius and character of
our people. Whilst The governments of this
continent are as ready 10 recognise and give
practical effect to the principle of non-nterven.
tion as those of Europe, they will never
submit to practical violation of that
principle by permitting the interference OF
the European powers in their mutual relations
Any attempt, therefore, on the part OF the
French and English governments to follow out
tnc pollcy uiSCioseu III tnc spctCu Vi LoTu Cla-
rendon wonld only have The effect of arousing
general feeling Of indignation amongst the PEG
pie of this country, of alternating their sympa-
thies from the cause of Turkey, and perhaps
transferring them elsewhere.
We are glad to perceive that this declaration
of Lord Clarendon has been brought under the
notice of Congress by General Glass; If the re-
proach thrown out by Lord Palmerston against
our government, that it has no fore gn policy, be
founded in fact, it is time that it should be re-
deemed by our representatives. Events are
crowding fast upon us, and unless decided
stand be at once taken we shall have cause to
regret the apathy and supineness Of those to
whom we have entrusted our interests.
THE MARES NEST OF THE RUSSIAN PRIvA-
TTERs.-lt was announced yesterday among
our Geographic advices from Washington,
that the French and British Ministers had on
the preceding day, officially visited Mr.. Marcy,
to enter their protests against American YES
sells being employed by Russia as privateers.
If they did so call upon our astonished Pre-
mier it was perhaps because they had nothing
better to do; for it is hardly to be presumed
that either Mr.. Champion or Monsieur Sartges
believe word Of the ridiculous privateering
