adore to France, has Lost no opportunity
TO assure the Duke DeCases that Germany
regards the attitude Of France upon
the Eastern question with good
feelings, Notwithstanding the attacks Of
The German journals. But those attacks
if continued, whether there Be any cause
for them or not will necessarily cause
counter at .cks and retorta, and BY degrees,

THEl. 10 evidently conflict Of no tri-
vial character in progress in the Russian
Empire because Of that inactivity in the
crisis of the late negotiations which some

held on the enc hand that Russia has no
longer any political function with regard
to Bulgaria and the other provinces; that
her obligation to defend the peopleof these
provinces rested upon her before the Con-
ference was assembled, but that by that
body she was relieved of the obligation;
that the case was taken off her hands by
Europe, and that now, therefore, Europe
and not Russia is responsible il
the evils complained of are per-
mitted to continue. ThiI is the view if
the peace party, whic is very we'll satisfied
to have plausible ground on which to
rest its objections to the war. 1t is believed
that the Emperor is in full sympathy with
this party. On the other hand, it il held
that the relations of Russia to the Slavic
people are such that her obligations are
perpetual; that Europe cannot come be
tween, and that the national glory and
pride are involved, and that only the am.
plsst concessious on the part Of Turkey OF
war can fill the occasion. Between thes,
wo lines Of thought the nation is divided
and the collisian Of opinions seems likely
to become Of great importance.

that another exhibition Of it is in prepare.
