New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1855-05-12

constantly required to maintain the losses wine p"
they will suffer.
Sly weeks ago, and at the moment when Loru
Iohr PusseIl was on his way to the Conference
g Wanna. / stated in THE TRIBUNE that that
Gentleman had gone to Vienna to prevent
nesce. that no peace would grow out of that
conference, and that in diplomatic circles no
mace was expected to grow out Of it. These
facts and opinions derived from high Pru'sian
authority, and they have been confirmed ID every
particular by subsequent events. The bearing
Of Lord John Russell before the Conference was
so abrupt and Indifferent, that from the fir't 1t
was evident that no peace was to be anticipated;
and. in consequence, the efforts made by the
Conference to arrive at a reconciliation were not
such as the magnitude Of the question demanded.
These are the facts in the case, however diner
ent the public may have estimated the proceed
ngs of that body. 1t was the feelings, wishes
and opinions with which gentlemen entered tnat
Conference that finally dissolved it without any
result. and not any events which arose IN the
course of its sitting, either within its own circle
or from without II is only necessary, 10 see tne
absurdty Of the attempt, to look at the following
facts. England and her rulers are in humilla-
ted position before the world, from when only a
great feat of arms will restore her; Sevastopol
il not taken. and Russia is as certain of its I'M
pregnability as she is of her own existence ana
consequently sure Of her continued Preponder-
ance in the Black Sea--a preponderance which
is to her life itself and which she will never re-
linquish by other than forcble means; Tor En-
gland and France to leave the Black Sea with
out a treaty which will positively insure the
independence of Turkey, would only be to sacrI'
fee that power. How then is it possible to
treat with Russia so long as Sevastopol Is not
taken, and where was the necessity OF the Con-
ference Of Vienna in view of these facts Inc
Conference of Vienna is therefore OF necessity
dissolved, and nothing now remains but la gHerTe
a rOutranoe.
In view of these facts the Emperor has now
prevailed on the English Government to give its
consent to his departure for the Crmea, and to
clothe him with the command-in-chlef There
is therefore no longer any doubt that this voyage
will take place; but with his usual caution the
Emperor has given the people about him TO I'M
derstand that his voyage is not military one,
that he goes to Constsntinople, perhaps to the
Crmea, as Emperor and not as an acting mill
tary commander; that he goes out to assume the
general direction of affairs to settle differences
which have arisen in the camp, perhaps to re-
view the army, but not to assume personal
direction of the operations against the fortifcs-
tions of Seyastopol. All this talk, which is OF
course meant for the public ear, is intended to
prevent any compromise of his Majesty's mill
tary prestige in case he should make any attempt
in person that should prove abortive. 1t will
enable him to return without reproach In case
he should find it too dangerous to make an as
sault on the city.
His Majesty is expected TO leave on the 9Th OF
MnY.
