The Russ and Turk-PesOe Prospects.

Heavy snow in the Balkans has practi-
cally ended military operations for the
present, according to telegraphic report.
At the end Of the operations of the year it
must be Recognized that the Russians are
overwhelmingly victorious at every point
In wars between civilized nations success
SO absolute as that which results from the
destruction Of the armies Of Moukhtar
Pacha on one theatre and 0sman Paeha
on another would inevitably be followed by
peace made on the terms dictated by the
conqueror. But this result does not fol-
low in the present case, mainly because
the methods Of reasoning esteemed in civ
ilized capitals are not adopted 10 Constan-
tinople. FanaticaI frenzy aud barbarian
pride cannot conceive that there are worse
things than humiliating peace The
Turks are a nation of forty millions of
people, and it cannot be considered that
campaign OF eight months has entirely ex
hausted them, although they have suffered
severely 10 men and the munitions Of war.
Nevertheless, the Sultan has invited the
Powers to come to his relief with negotia.
tons for peace. But such peace as
would be acceptable to him would hardly
be accepted by the Gar, in the pride and
flush of victory. Besides, all the great
Powers are slow to respond to. bis inuita-
ton, because the Sultan rejected the
advice Of the Constantinople conference,
and went to war with Russia in defiance
Of it. He only sues for peace, now, con
terms agreeable to Turkey terms which
will not be granted by Russia. Hence it
is reasonable to suppose that peace will not
take place until after another campaign,
which viii probably enable the Car to
dictate his own terms, from Constantine
pie, the Turkish capital.
