-
The Telegram of the Gath ultimo con-
tanned Information which, if true, is OF the
greatest Importance to Englishmen in par.
tlcular, and probably to all Europeans in
general. The London correspo ndent of
thu Manchester "Gulrdi m" via New
York to the West In1ies, is not the most
direct routs through which to receive news
Of the intentions OF the British Govern
mHnt in regards to the Russo Turkish
War, but as there is said to BE- "no smoke
without fire., We my be justified in as
sumlng that there are some grounds for the
statement. 1t so thare can be doubt
hencs forward about the policy Of Grsat
Britain. Her neutrality exists only 80 long
as the Russians do not go too far. Much
as Wa dislike the Turks, as a corr upt and
wicked raca, We have been led to SYM
pathize somewhat in their cause during the
present war, on account of the brave and
patriotic manner in which they have defen.
ded their soil against an encroaching power
but we are not yet prepared to rejoice 10 the
fact that there Is a probability of England
spiIIing hr b3st blood a I'D sacrificing the
blessing and advantages Of peace, in the
defence of nation so utterly unworthy
of her friendship. We draw oar c~onsola.
ton from the lact that it is not for love Ok
the Turks that England would fight, but
merely because her Government considers
that the proper balance of power in East.
ern Europe would be endangered by the
further encroachments Of Russia, and that
British interests are ia better keeping
while Turkey holds her present empire
against the avaricious clutch Of her north
ern adve rsary.
Of course we know that Russia is pro.
fessedly fighting for the holy cause OF
freedom, but we doubt very much har
ability to Judge what freedom means. Let
her wipe out the memory of oppressed
and prosecuted Poland, let her blot out
from history her long list Of exiles to
death-dealing Siberia, let her remember
that freedom, like charity, should " begin
at hons," aud then perhaps we will
acknowledge her to be the fitting champi.
on of liberty abroad. Till then. at any
rate, we give her credit for acting from far
other motives than those of securing .
freedom to Bulgarians and their kindred
races, namely, motives Of avarice and az
erosion, aud these Great Britain has
curbed before and will know how, to curb
again, should circumstances require It.
