THE EASTERN QUESTION.


LONDON, March THE Times leader saws
nothing Ignatieff or any one else can bring
from st: Petersburg, can place political rights
and duties In new light, or change the main
relations OF the European Powers. The design
attributed to Russia of inducing the Powers to
modification of existing treaties which would
involve nearly the same consequence, is not
improbable, and we may argue upon it as au-
thentic. Russia would seek to pledge England
to use coercion if Turkey did not reform within
a specific time. Russia would doubtless avoid
pledging herself to abide by any decision of the
Powers as to what might constitute sufficient
reform: Russia would thus be free at any mo-
ment she saw an opportunity, to summon the
fowers to redeem their promise of coercion, and
IN ,n;t default OF their compliance, she might act
right England ought not to seek TO facilitate
Russia's retreat by engagements which must be
embarrassing, and might become dangerous.
