to be the intention of the British Govern
ment to send out several other regiments

powerful force in that country. In antici-
patton of this step being taken. it is ru-
moredsthat almost every regiment now at
Ftached to the home station may be re-
qnired in Canada; and such early notice
las been given, in order that the regiment >

that station, may be in readiness in case

In reference TO the peace Congress-
which was about to convene at Paris
Baron Brunow, the Representative of Rus-
sia, is reported to have said that Russia
IS lsslncerely desircus of peace, but that if
peace be not made without loss of time
If all be not over within three weeks or a
month from the opening Of the Conftren-
ces, serious difficulties might interfere
with the final settlement'of the question.
UNEAsINEss OF THE BRITISH PRESS ABOUT
THE CONFERENCE.
[From the Morning Herald, February ,la.l
The -AfmiStice.-lt seems to be now con.
ceded that we are TO have an armislice.
and from that fact we may safely conclude
that peace is determined on, as the ad-
vantages which wilt accrue to Russia
from a cessation of hostilities are so great
that no statesman could be blind enough
or wicked enough to accede to such a
measure if it be possible that hostilities
are to be renewed.
These advantages consist Of the follow
ing items:
/. a delay which viii enable the ar
mics of Mourayief to be reinforced and
supplied with material of war. r.
2 An opportunity of selling vast guam
titles of Russian produce for English gold,
to assist her in carrying on the war.
8. Perhaps facility of raising a loan
upon the chance Of peace.
4. An occasion for disturbing, if not
breaking up, the alliance with France,
and SO insulating England in the councils
of Europe
5. A postponement of all military and
naval operations to such period as will
render en- advance upon Ti1is, the only
true strategic point in Asia, difficult if not
impossible, from fhe setting in Of the un-
healthy season in the valleys of Mongrc-
liza and Inertia.
Surely, if the war is TO be renewed, nc
one can Tor moment suppose that all
these advantages will be given to Russia,
asif purposely to incl ease our own diff
| culties.
But if peace be moeie, for what, then,
have We sacrificed fifty thousand lives
and one hundred millions of money?
Was it for the purpose of securing the
integrity Of the Sultan sdominions? Sure
| ly not, for he is to forefeit his Danubian
principaIities, which we may suppose vii
come under our fostering care, Ike the
last portion Of his territory of which We
assisted in despoiling him Greece
European nuisance--an anarchical nes
of swindlers, pirates and brigands.
Surely this example of our skill in or
ganization is not one which wise men
would wish to follow
We could not have made the sacri6c,
alluded to in order to secure the Sultan
independence, for all Europe, including
Russia, is to interfere in regulating th'
internal arrangements Of his empire.
The Christians, by the new improve
ments, are to have military service
which the great mass of them loathe--
forced upon them; and are, in return, t
have the Aarotch remitted--a tax whicl
they willingly pay for the exemption the.
4 have hitherto enjoyed from an imposition
which they are now desired to consider a
privilege. -
The attempt to enforce these regula
tions may---nay, will--produce distu b
ances among all classes of Turkish sub
iects, which render an occupation of th
territory and coercion Of the people neces
. sary.
} In the meantime peace will be declared
. and Russia will be :'invited'' to assist i
the pacifcation of the Turkish Empire
We have no doubt that he will assist {
; the almost inevitable "cares" which mus
follow hard upon such proceedings wit
the very greatest satisfaction.
By the treaty ofthe 8Lh of May, 1885,
the allied powers are pledged to withdra'
their troops from the Turkish dominion
within forty eight days after the signatur
of peace; but will the Austrians evacuat
the principa!itirs and leave the French :
p, Maslak? Or, vice oerso, will the Frenc
leave Constantinople while Coronini occu
pies Bucharest? We trow not indeed
But if we had not insured either the il
tarritv' or indenendence of the Turks
