A private letter from Brussels dated on the 236
uM., contains the following remarks on the great
questions OF the day -
Ihs bases OF the treaty, such as they have been
eent from vienna, contain one word towhicIr great

ana wheh forms ahe first article. II s not the mo-
velty OF tbe expression which slarms ux bat the
real sense that we ought TO attash to it. What doas
neutrality mesn in time of peace2 1t Is evidently
nonsense, or rather contradiction. Can X be that
there is an intention TO repeat thu fault comitteA
with regard TO Begium, when II was underwood that
might take place between the different nations q
Europe? That treaty was undoubtedly made agains&
Lonis Philippe, and took from him his natural ally:
but II is equally known that this sort ofneutraityE

be its interest TO violate it. II by Decentralization

that neither Of those States shall have ships of war

be necessary to believe that even in time of war
Turkey could not make of her marine. either b
annoy the coasts Of Russia, or succour her maritime
provinces should they be invaded by land armies
which would be absurd. If Russia wished to attack
Germany. or. taking advantage Of the little energy
put forth by the German States. wished to excite
them against France. France would then not have
the right to profit by her alliance with Turkey. and
to transport her fleet and her troops to the Black Sea
1t would be the Same if British India were to be
naced by Russia.

peace 1t is absurd and dangerous to anticipate cases
of war. The Western Powers have reserved to them
selves the right independently of the fonr articles
to require from Russia guarantees for the mainte

ty OF Europe-that is to say, the reestablishmen Of
the treaties of 1916, and such as they existed IN
1880. 1t was for the equilibrium of Europe that
the province taken by Russia from Prussia.

dent kingdom, on the soil of which Russian
army should never place its foot Now. what is the
consequence of the present state Of things? II il
this-that Russian armies to the number of from

Silesia Brandenburg, and enter Berlin; that they
can by flank march invade the whole of Gallicia.
and reach Vienna in eight DAYS, and that, thus
masters Of the whole of Germany, they can advance
to the Rhine, and in less than one month invade
France. 1t is then for the common advantage Of
Europe to demand the execution of the treaties
which have never been abrogated and the re-es!ab-
