That Rnssia expects TO accom-
plish any large part # these
schemes now is doubtful. The
disposition to be made of Turkey
has b, eli for too long central
point in Eutopeah diplomacy, and
the powers lfate had too many
consultations about it, tor MS tG
suppose that they will have one Of
their number to settle the question
nnhindcred. Lord Palmcrston made
it ar article in the political creed
ot England that the neutrality of
Constahtin0pIc is essential, il not to-
the pcacc oil The world, ,at least to the
security Uf tlie new Empress do
rninions. Austria has a claim,
rather more valid than Russia and
quite as strongly held, TO represent
the Empire of the East, and it Is
her eagle, if any, that size longs i0
see upon the Bosphorus. France,
IN her African possessions, and
Italy have some interest in tho
control of the Mediterranean. ALI
these would have something to say
aboat the occupation cf Constants
Eople, even if Germany were dis
posed to stand by and see the Car
extend hie lines. But Russia can,
assuming the success OF her first
military movements, greatly
strengthen her own influence in ,hU
East without amy actual conquest
of territory beyond the Danube
She can compel Il treaty that will
f,;rther reduce the power of the
Porte while securing decent gov
crnnent to its subjects; can, per
haps, complete the severance OF the
northern principalities, bringing
them under Russian protection, and,
by concentrating the Sclavonie
feeling, help forward the empire of
the future, of which the Gar, as
the champion of Eastern CEristeh-
dom and the defender of The OPP
pressed, shall be the acknowledged
head, All this may he done with
the consent of Europe, if the Gear
prosper III his plans, and there is
enough here to tempt the ambition
of any sovereign That the expul-
sion of the Turks from Europe will
be ultimately accomplished is be-
yond doubt, but it will not be
accomplished in day or year.
While they remain they must al
ways be source Of trenble, and no
man can fioretell what conflicts and
what changes war may involve
but that the war which now seems
imminent Eill extend beyond the
