Attic beginning of Yesterdays sitting
I there was a really Interesting scene,
4 which deserves to be, noticed.
Prince Gortschakof, detained in his
! bed by govt, has not beeira able to attend
\ the last sittlngsno At Yesterdays meet
ing he came in his carriage, which stop
! ped at the entrance, whence the
i prince was carried to the door of the
,ccop1ulllncllroom, when, every one FASTENED
round him to congratulate him on the
aTestoration Of his health. Soon after
ward Prince Bismarck DECLARED the sit
ting opened. Prince Gorschakoff then
begged permission to speak, and though
aIthe president axhorted him to be seat
ed. he rose with apparent effort, and,
amid profound, and respectful silence,
said: .m9hi 10 is9d ed
Mr.. @President, your excellencies:
AfteflhavIng Been kept away for several
days from your deliberations, | do not
Edike1 to ire-appear among you without
making the following remarks, which
:. are prompted by the love oftruth and of
I my COUNTRY. Dhrirg your late deliber-
attlPoF1nrss my, colleagues, (theg prince here
lboWed toward N, ,dOubrll and Count
IS3chfo3uvalofl have o granted you, in
the }. name of Russia, concessions far
surprising those she thought of max
mg.'.f buH ,JsH9i, bsislqmog
iomOnf hearing this, all the members of
Z the congress eNinced signs of apprehen.
sion. The aged prince spoke with effort
4 the table, and looking before him with
Pa resolate expression, and his auditors
began to wonder whether bis words
were not the prelude to a declaration
Withdrawing the concessions Russia had
made, and whether it was not to make
this, declaration that. the prince had
braYed the extreme fatigue imposed on
him by bis presence in the congress.
Happily, however, the plenipotentiaries
1 wee soon reassured by the prince con-
tinuing: - .mh 1917 srgtls
"|tBat am too we'll aware of the feel
ings which influenced my colleagues to
raise Bany objection to the concessions
they deemed it their duty to make. /
merely wish to state to you what is
very Well-knoWn, that Russia has made
! these sacrifices from herdesire of peace,
and that she spoke truth oWhe declar-
i ing, before as we'll as at the end Of the
war. that she merel stood up on behalf
of the christians of the east, that she
had no narrow Or selfish aim, and that,
having made enormous sacrifices in
1 war in which the caiise7ofi christianity
and civilization was alone at stake, she
has just proved herself capable Of also
making sacrifices for the great work of
/ pacifcation to which you are devoting
your efforts. / suppose no one will
gainsay the glory Of her army, which
has achieved the most brilliant victories;
but Russia wishes it, to be known that
she is DESTROYS Of exchanging the laurels
Of victory, bought with the most
precious blood, for the palm of peace"
i n1Th ese words were followed by pro-
! found silence. due, probably, to the emo
ton of his auditors; for the spectacle of
the ilIustrious old nautilus exerting his
last energies to vindicate the moral
greatness Of his country was really cal
culated to touch)the heart After a few
moments Lord oBeaconsfeld rose and
begged to be heard. In language which
I have heard greatly extolled, but Of
which / have not been able to obtain
the exact text, the English premier, with
that varied action peculiar to him, thus
began; ad} 81 s.f6,,our
sentiments in expressing the profound
admiration [ have felt for the language
of my noble and illustrious friend, and
the way in which he has given utterance
to the true sentiments Of his country. I
am happy to think that it is a desire
for peace which has guided the decis-
ions of Russia in the late, deliberations.
J I therefore hasten to acknowledge it in
the name, Of this illustrious congress,
listening to me, and I firmly hope that
I shall meet with the same sentim ent in
allits deliberations.nH L.2ii
/ Lord Beaconsfeld spoke for several
minutes longer and then sat down, and
I the real business of the meeting began
after this somewhat sentimental Incl
dent, by which, however, the noble
lord produced the best possible effect
on all his auditors. 1t is said that
Prince Gortschakoff will appear at no
more sittings Of the congress, and that
I the words Of his have just quoted are
the last the plenipotentiaries will hear
