The news from Europe, though OF less executing
character than when the war was still raging, Is
full of unusual interest. The British Ministry Is
in serious danger of finding itself in minority in
Parliament. On the question of the fall of Kars
prolonged debate has already been commenced
and apparently the only thing which can save Lord
Palmerston from defeat on that is the sacrifice OF
Lord Radcliffe, upon whom, as the British Embas-
sador at Constantinople, the blame Of that catas-
trOJhe is literally cast by the Government
When that question is disposed Of the dis
putts with the United States will be taken
up, the Central American papers having already
been presented to Parliament, and those on
the Enlistment business being promised. Ga the
former our private advices indicate that the Minis
try will be sustained; but on the latter they will
be defeated, and then dissolution and new cleo
tion are to be expected. Indeed, go important is
the crisis, that Palmerston has held meeting Of
his followers, where he explained his policy and
asked for support on the Kars question, making no
allusion to American subjects. On the other
hand Lord Derby has also called his friends to-
eether, and everything betokens an arduous and
heated struggle.
With the official publication of the treaty We
are, of course put in possession of the missing four
articles that were wanting in the copy of it which
we gave yesterday. In every other respect the
former yersiOn was correct. Considering the cir
cumstaDcts which occasiOned the war, aud the
Powers engaged in it, this treaty is as good as
could have been expected. From the beginning,
neither Louis Bonaparte nor the English Ministry
took stand to destroy Russia, but only to render
her incapable OjeopardiziDg Turkey, and to put the
latter power under the shield of European inter-
national law. Both these aims are obtained.
Russia il dsarmed in the Black Sea; and by arti.
cles Z and of the treaty. Turkey is introduced
into the family of European States, beyond whose
rarge the Ottomans have been ever since
their historical existence began, and above all
since their appearance in Europe All other
interests, such as those of the Christians, of
the Prncipalties, and the integrity of the Sui.
tsn's domiDons, receive the amount of guaranty
which treaties and protocols can afford. Treaties
and protocols, or even statesmen, do not create or
cave out the history Of the world. 0ipulations
cannot make States grow and thrive, nor prevent
their decay and fall. Thus, though the Treaty of
Paris cannot instil any vitality into the Ottoman
Empire, it may yet awaken what sparks may be
left therein, and put of the day Of dissolution.
In reality, this Treaty is marked by unusual
good faith on all sides. The Sultan and his power
are carefully looked afier-more 30 even than the
security which his Christian subjects might reauire
for the Powers desist in reality from any direct
pr1te ction over them ard from all interference in

of the Christians of Turkey who have heloed
Russia, is provided for. In one word, every ground
in virtue of which Russia by the force of events
or by previous treaties, could have claimed to
interfere in the Princpalities, in Seryia, or
elsewhere, is annulled. In the emergency of
future misunderstanding between the Porte
and any other Power mediation previous
to the use of force is TO be employed. So
stands this treaty. Not giving so much as was
expected by the more ardent enemies of Russia.

new diplomatic relations. But the declaration an.
