IN. enlistment into the foreign legion goes all
The more bfiskly, now that hopes OF peace have a.
ayed the suspcions Of the German princes. The
Polish Legion under Gen. Zsmoysh is completing
he organization as if iss services would be needed
n the Spring, and English naval officers are seek
ne a point near Trebizonde, and are surveying the
country around TO find place where -, 600 men
could be landed and form camp. At SevastoPol

I'D. and ali the Notifications not yet ruined are
mined TO be destroyed before the conclusion OF the
anuistiee Toward the middle Of next week, prob
ably on the 2Ia, the Conferences will open at
Paris where, in spite of Russas unconditional ac-
septance the -Four Points are to be discussed once
more, and the Fifth is to be put into precise and
definite shape. As soon as these questions are ar
ranged. the preliminaries Of peace will be signed
the terms Of an armis.ice discussed, and Prussia,
and probably Sweden also, will be invited to take
part IN the final conferences which, If we are
rightly informed, will formally cancel the clause
Of the famous Treaty of Vienna of 1915, by which
the family of Napoleon Bonaparte is forever ex-
eluded from the throne Of France. Since the
Treaty of Vienna is the foundation Of the present
political relations and international law of Europe,
and since any de actO infrsctiOn of its contents
has always had 10 be ratified by the great powers
as for instance In the case of the separation OF
Belgium from HollsDd-NapoleOn wishes to be
formally introduced among the Princes OF Europe
by the abolition of clause which makes him a
ssurper in the eyes Of the uphOdcrs Of legitimacy
For the Bourbons and their friends the copper
colored Rev. Mr.. Williams included, this move is
most serious and the Duke of Bordeaux or Count
Chambord will have no further opportunities OF
maciously declining the title of Majesty" when
addressed by German or Russian Princes
Another more important object OF the confer
ences is TO be the organization of the Dan
ubian Principalities The question already
initiated at COnstantin0pe, but the views of the
representatives of France and England were OPP
posed to one another in the question, whether the
new realm is to have representative govern
ment or not, while the Sandman Minister pro-
tested against his exclusion from the discussions,
and the Turkish Minister dissented entirely from
NJ de ThOuvenel, as well as from Lord StratfOrd,
ms regards the relations between the Porte aud the
future princes Of the new State. Accordingly the
organization of the Wallachian Danube State has
keen referred TO the Paris Conferences, to be ar
ranged with the concurrence Of the Russian dipo-
matsts Lord Stratord and Nj. de Thouvenel are
busily insructing the Sultan in European civilza-
ton and their predecessors in Office have already
.ssccee3ed'in introducing champagne into the impe-
rial laltse Tie ,resent Minister'S went one step
furthI. and persuaded the Sultan to assist at one
al be,r balls You may depend upon IL, that
gambling and refined debanchery, vices yet un-
known 10 the Turks, will, like drunkenness, be
soon among the great institutions of civilization
w. into 81 in
order to educate the Mussulmans, aud, to use
German scientific expression, " TO JaphetIse Asia.
Whatever may be the European results OF the last
war; il is certain that il was deathblOw 10 Turkey
The Sultan courageousy resisting the Gar, was,
under the mask of friendship, stripped of all his
power and independence by the Allies. The Turks
feel this very keeDy, and express It In parable
which, in the traditions of Eastern Asia may soon
claim the authority of historical fact. Prince
"Menschikoff," they say "came and required us
"to tear a page out of the Koran, and the Sultan
event 10 war rather than submit to the mpl0us
"Moskoff pretension. But the Allies came under
i'the pretext of assisting the Sultan, and OF making
"war against the MOskoff; and when their fleets
covered the Euxine, and their armies were en-
"eamped along the Golden Horn, they required
"the Sultan to throw the whole Koran into the
s'sea: and when he refused to do so, they said:
"'WeD we don't mind your refusal we will do
.st ourselves and they thereupOn flung the holy
shook into the depths of the sea" You may
imagine the imprecatiOns which follow the re-
cital of the parable-which you meet with now
everywhere in the East, and the prophecies
about the revenge of AEah to be wrought
on France and England. Still, the SELF
confidence of the Turks is broken and the East
cannot be any longer ruled in the old way. We
shall soon hear of reyolts and Instructions. and
the allied armies will have to remain ia Turkey for
more than one season. until new order OF things
can develop itself. The frman by which Slavery
has been abolished has already in Arabia, led 20
revolt; the citizens of Mecca and the environs re-
iected it with scorD as impious attempt 81 in
reference with institutions sanctioned by the
Koran, and they voted the Sultan a hereto and an
infdel, and rose against his authority. The I'M
satisfactory aspect of the East fills the English
with fears lest the peace TO be patched up at Paris
might prove altogether inefficient and insecure aud
therefore there is not one public man in England,
with the exception of Mr.. Brlght's friends and
the Peelites, who looks forward with hope or sat
isfaction to the Conferences and the Russell French
alliance looming in the future, distu;bs their salts
faction on the temporary cessation of blOodshed
and lavish expenditure. The Tunes fully aware
of the apprehensiOns of the public, admits
that France and Austria are closely united

Language exactly identical with that which will be
"employed on behalf ofGreat Britain" And again:
1.-THE form Of Russa's Government assimiates
"more with that of France and Austria than with
'that Of our own, and she nay reasonably eIpeet 10
ca Cad more sgmpatky scith any Of the Allies than

that the English public would not be disappointed
at all ii Lord Clarendon should return from Paris
breaking up the Conferences by " asserting too
'loftily the rights and honor Of England, as The
Tsmes calls il; the nation wishes to fight out this
struggle, the continuation Of which does not suit
