BY the Treaty of Paris the contracting

legation was fully complied with at the

proclamation permitting his impatient
armies to advance, on Tuesday, the Gath
ult. If half as much prudence and
capacity as have been exhibited by
Russia in preparing for the war should bt
exercised in conducting it, there can be
no doubt as to how it will end. VIVA,
the actual motive of Russia may be be-
You'd the desire to protect the Christian
subjec of the Porte In Europe from the
violent treatment to which they have
been compelled to submit from the Sui
tan's officials, we cannot know; but it il
not to be supposed that Russia will
abandon the policy Of annexing con
quered territory to her vast area, which
has characterized her history for the last
two hundred years.
The first movements of the war have
been favorable to Russia. To have gained
the consent Of Roumania to the occu
pancy of that territory by Russian troops
was no small advantage; but where thu
first great fight may take place it is moi
possible to fOrcsee, and it will matter but
little on which side the victory may rest
as it will not be the decisive action. Il
mag take place 10 Asia; but the fate oi
the war will, doubtless, be decided by
the conflicts on the Danube.
The proclamation Of the Car is of q
character which seems to promise that
the war will be conducted on Christian
principles. Private property is to be re.
spectcd, and when taken for the use OF
the army to be paid for within sixty days
Christians are enjoined not to commit any
outrages, when they have an opportunity,
upon the Turks; and the Outrages com.
United by the Turks are to be cOndoned
except in two specified cases. But, after
all, when the two armies meet in Con.
flict, they must, Of course, do their best
to effect the defeat and destruction Of
one another, and the world must be pre-.
pared to hear of some of the tiercest and
bloodiest battles Of modern times. Iu
the meanwhile, it will not he safe to trus,
to the daily telegraphic reports Of en-.
gagements, whether they come from
Turkish or Russian sources. On Satur-
day there were reports Of repulse Of
the Russians, at some point in Asia Mi
nor, with loss of eight hundred men
but On Monday the Russian report gave
their loss on the same occasion at one
man.
France and England have both ISSUED
