The London Times of the 10th ultmo has long leading
article on the aspect Of affairs in Europe from which
make the following extract:
4As the object Of the allied powers Is not TO engage In
me bteties aud articles OF diplomacy but simply to de-
.re on what grounds they ready make peace and
hat conditions they can accept as sufficient security for
the hment of the purposes of the alliance the very FIRST
ieu in these negotiations must have important and
nossbly decisive effect the ultimate result We
rtan no doubt that Austria England and France al
ady entirely agreed as 10 the nature extent and form Of
~ conditions they will communicate to the Russian
,oipsers; for If any hesitation or difference Of opinion
manifested itself the starting point Il is evident that
oar adversary would Immediately take advantage VI the
Isnst symptom Of division Our union is strength
ana II this union Of the three greatest powers in Europe
which has already brought Russia TO treat for peace at vi
emma on basis wholly excluding her original pretensons
md abandoning the aggressive attitude she bad assumed
II L therefore essential TO the of the negotiation
rA 10 the attainment of the objects striving for
hat this union should be complete for all the efforts OF
~ Russian dplomatists viii be directed shake it, For
dis reason especially rejoice that Prusan agent
akes part these discussions because have doubt
at on the first plausible lure held out by Russia he would
rt 20 the enemy and diminish the moral strength of
M alliance or Austria entertain such apprehen-
.lon because measures have been taken to place in
definite shape the Joint resolutions Of that power and the
western aeabne Everything then depends in the first
instance on the determination OF Russia to take the first
step with Us towards the preiminares OF peace by
ecing this Offer terminate at the abos OF the
ference and the hopes OF peace which her previous ass
nossibe In our ignorance of the real intentions of the cab
met of ST. Peieshurgh especially since the late
change in the of the sovereign OF that empire TO
bszrd ANYTHING more than conjecture rs to the
the Russian penpoteutiares instructed 10 pursue but
we incline 10 the belief that they will persevere IN the
collation. Should they find that they cannot obtain the
advantages they desire should any turn in affairs IN
their confidence IN their military success III VIII al
ways be in their power terminate the conference and to
repudae concessions that have not been completed But in
the present condition of Russia already hopeless Of obtain
ing the original objects Of the war; threatened by ormi
abe contederacy the south and by gigantic naval
armament in the north with her finances wel-nigh ex-
haused her former alliances dissolved and her army ia
the Crmea reduced by ncaeuable suherngs, would be
an act of temerity reject the only means OF paci
cation.
We surmise therefore that she viii accept the original
conditions reseryng herself every imaginable of
eynding and essenng their effect while she attempts by
conterproposons and objections to shake the intimate
union of the allies Her diplomatic resistance win be as
stubborn and artfu though it cannot be proac,ed
that OF Sebastopol
But while this political contest is carried on al Vienna
the Of events in the Crimea will not be suspended
and trust that within short period of time shall
ceye intelligence OF more important occurrences at the
theatre of The interval of some weeks which must
ese between the close of winter and the arrival of the
endorsements which the Russian government will doubt
less attempt throw into the Crimea is moment of the
utmost consequence to the operations OF the allied armies
In the article find the following allusion to the
projected visit Of the Emperor Napoleon to the Crmea
When the Emperor of the French formed the design of
going the Crmea the present time be doubtless per-
ceyed that the latter part of March and the beginning of
April marked out for the off
pagn which may enable to obtain the grand object of
the expedition and although there is some reason to
believe that the visit TO the imperial army postponed the
military Importance of this opportunity is by means
diminished Now is the moment of trial and the
promise of According to all the accounts on
which any reliance be placed it appears that the Rus
army in the Crimea has suffered less severely than
the troops Of the allies The bulk Of that army has passed
The winter not in Sebastopo but behind the ridge of hills
which divide the kacha and the Tchenaya from the south
coast
