assent to tie propositions insisted on by the West
ern Powers that the Emperor Nicholas has only lett
him to consioer whether it is better to yield co such
terms as these, or to pro'ong the contest. On the
mere grounds OF prudeDce and reason 1t Is probable
that The ohtical influence and the resources of TIE
Russian umpire would snffer less by accepting even
these terms than by carrying on struggle against
oil the great Powers, which can only terminate in
greater sacrifices. But prudence and reason have
had very little influence over the policy Of the En-
Peror OF Russa thr oughout these transactions and
be must still be REGARDED as the instrument
of the passions he has excited, and the pride he
has SO bitterly wounded. He IS called upon
TO give up all the privileges and treaties
securing to Russia profectorate over Moldavia,
Wallact ia, and Servia sumo of which have existed
since 1774 and 1779-to open the navigation Of the
Danube to ite mouths, on the general principle es
tablished by the Congress of Vienna, and without
distinction as to the territory through which the
river fiows-to consent to a revision of the conven

own power in tie Black Sea- and, lastly, to re.
nounce that protectorate of the Christians in Tur

mission. Although these terms have our cordial
concurrence ana we think that less could not be
asked to insure the object We nave in view, which
is not to nure or destroy the just rights of the Rus
sian government, but TO prevent her power from
hsii used to the detriment ano destruction OF

Terms and forwaI ded them to st. Petersburg, it ey
pected that negotiations could row be opened on
such basis. The question, however, remains ~
to this hour unsettled-what answer the Emperor
Nicholas will give to such a commur icasion, aud
what course Austria will pursue In the event OF that
answer being an unsatisfactory one At that point
tie diplomat TRANSACTION viii n have 80 long kept
the world in suspense and possibly the war in sbey
ance, come to their natural termination; and it is
probable that this political decision will coincide in
point of time with the operations which now give a
moe serious and decisive character to this contest.
To the success of these operations and to other
cause We look for the ultimate restoration of peace;
and, although we have never held out the slightest
expectation that this war would be specify or
easily terminated, We arc oaadent that the people
Of England will prolong for years their sacriG es
and exertons sooner than bate jot of the rights
