THE PEACE OF EUROPE.

There is considerable difference of opin
ion in the press in regard to the effect
upon the present war which the death oil
the Czat of Russia will have. Some think
it is favorable to peace; others imagine
that it will lead to universal war, from
the attempt to make it subservient to new
schemes for regulating the balance of pow
er. All such speculations are evidently
premature, as the fact is not yet establish
ed so as to place it beyond the posi-
bility Of doubt. Admitting it to be true
the most that can be inferred from the
event, favorable to peace, is that it may
afford an opportunity to arrange existing
differences on terms less exacting and hu.
initiating to the pride of Russia, than be.
ing shut out entirely of the Black Sea-
The new Emperor may disclaim any such
designs of territorial acquisition as have
alarmed the jealousies and fears of the
Western Powers and if they are sincere
in their professions of wishing only to
maintain the integrity Of Turkey, they
may be satisfied with the disclaimer, il
followed by the withdraw of the extraor-
binary pretensions of the late Emperor to
authority over the Principalities, allowing
matters in respect to them to remain on
the generally understood basis upon which
they rested previously to the acts which
caused the war. The new Emperor, if
inclined to Peace, might submit to this
compromise, without any humbling of
pride; for, in despotism, the acts of the
Government are but the acts of the indi-
vidual, and do notnecessarily carry with
them national policy, to which subse-
quent monarchs are committed, either by
the destiny of the country or the national
wish. AS far as the honor and character
of the nation is concerned, the new Empe-
ror will doubtless be as ready to maintain
them as his father; hence, no humbling
conditions, no terms of accommodation
which imply loss of power, authority, or
of territory already possessed, will ever
be submitted to. The allies must abate
their exacting demands, so triumphantly
