/ The Eastern Question.
THE MEN WHO THINK THE PROTOCOL OUGHT TC
| BE RESISTED.
LONDON, April 1.-THE 1fmes's CORE.
spondent ut Pcra telecraphs that there are
men in high places there, for whom peace
has az many terrors as war, who think the
protocol should be resisted as an Injury.
Indeed, some members OF the old Turkish
party declare that as Russia is so afraid to
fight, Turkey should seek quarrel and go
to war regardless of consequences.
THE LONDON TINES ON THE SITUATION.
LONDON, April 1.-The Times prints the
following in leading article:
Our Government has not passed the
| bounds of constitutional right in it's ex-
preston OF opinion or its engagements in
regard to Turkey, but Russia receives all
she asks for, and probably more than sue
expected. This IS also the feeling at Vienna.
Our correspondent, reporting the feeling
there. says:
."Mild as the language of the protocol is
1t contains q full and unequivocal accept
ance by all the Powers Of the Russian view
concerning the international position OF
Turkey, although the protocol does not
even mention the treaty OF Paris. The
principles OF the independence Of Turkey
and nop-intervention in her national affairs
are virtually abrogated."
The Times continues
Lord Derby's declaration deiers delibera-
ton on the common action OF the Powers,
but it does not affect the principles con-
tanned in the text OF the protocol. We have
a riphf to coy thp Powers and D1rticIlIarly
England, have not been wanting in good
will towards Russia. Wehope the Russian
Government wall show that it knows how to
regard the spirit in which it has been met.
It may seem useless to appeal to military
Power in relation TO Il decision which in all
probability it has already taken, but
il any uncertainty still fingers in the
Cars council, induced by the fact that
the protocol is recognized rs an honor
able attempt to satisfy Russia's suscepti-
blity, and is iustifying disarmament until
that is made, we have the right to consider
it uncertain, and we give our readers
the best means OF divining the result.
The first condition proposed by Russia
namely, peace with Montenegro-is be-
set by new difficulties. We have no
thing as yet to encourage us to believe
that the second condition-that the Porte
should replace its armies on 4 peace footing,
and send an envoy to st. Petersburgh to
treat OF diSarmament-has- been accepted.
The Turkish Parliament, to whom, it is
said, both conditions will be referred, is no
doubt subject to the influence Of the Gov
eminent; but the very delegation OF the
decision by the Porte to the popular assem-
bly, seems unfavorable 10 4 policy OF con-
ceSSlUn.

Carniceros. os.-Por mas que ell actual
