The Eastern War-HOw Long Will 1t
CONTINUED!
The interesting and able Paris cores
pondent of the National Intellingencer, ex-
presses the opinion that we are to wait long
before ~e shall see peace restored to Europe.
He says:
Ii may be considered as question quite
settled that the war is to continue most prob
ably fol several years yet; how long it is im-
possible for human sagacity to predict with
any confidence. Military. events, of which
an inscrutable future holds secret, can alone
determine. Who may say how long, after
the a lies shall have acquired the painful
conviction that their united force is unable to
impose upon the Gar The conditions ol peace
contained in their Interpretation ot the tour
guarantees, they will persist in rejecting
terms that would give but incomplete At
isfaction to national pride and military honor ,
and which won d involve an adthission that
in The outset they had committed the double
mistake of overratIng their own power AMI
undertaking the enemy's! We may expect,
therefore, to witness one more year of pecu-
liar but unav ailing effort OF heroic but I'M
successful valor.
Let Us hope that hen the allies will them
selves share the persuasion, which is already
common to nearly all spectators of the con-
tilct, that there are some thing impossible
even TO the united power of England and
France, and that among these impossibilitles
mnst be reckoned the humiliation OF Russia,
the limitation oil her power, the permanent
arres. of that progress and development
which has smi' ten with such painful sense
of insecurity the enjoyment OF their own po-
81 ion as The leading nations of Europe
And let US hope, too ifthe comm amp align
in the Baltic prove as barren of glory as the
last, and that in the Crimea as barren of con-
quest, that the allies, though all indsposed
to put the acknowledge of incompe-
tence into the form of a treaty of peace,
will adopt and put into practice the bloodess
but practicable and not int fiji lent programme
for the future conduct of the war whch sew
eral of their semi official organs ha dis
tinctly exposed, and to which the Moniteur
itself has more than once, and notably in
tn t famous article of llth April made re-
mote alusOn. This programme was noticed
in one oi my late letters. 1t proposes, after
another brilliant aft - that shall attest quite
superfuously, as all the world must admit,
for Who doubtsD the military prov ess of the
allies, to retire from the Crimea, re embark
ing under cover of the guns of Kameschy
leaving the Russians in possession of their
precious stronghold.
Henceforth the Allies are to confine their
operations to comparatively passive hosli!l-
lt'es-occupying the Black Sea aud the Baltic
with their fleets; blockading all Russian
seaPorta; protecting Constantinope by a
stationary army in the camp of Molask; and
