think that this measure ough. not to make

structions TO the Russian commander-in-
chief If We are we'll informed, these in
struction are directed that in case the Otto
man capital should be occupied by the i'm.
peral troops, and British feet should ap-
pear before the city, that the fleet should be
received with all consideration due to
friendly power, and that il the necessity for
protecting the lives and property of the
British subjects should cause the troops to
be landed there. :hey should be regarded as
welcome auxiliaries, for the maintenance of
order, as long as their activity was confined
to that purpose. Now that the English
fleet is approaching Cons,astinople, and has
there given rendezvous to the fleets Of other
great powers, we may assume that the same
courtesy will be maintained between the
naval and land forces Of the different statcs
if they should meet ON Turkish soil.
Sixteen months ago this measure was pro.
posed by Russia and refused by the cabinet
of London. How much bloodshed and
suffering might have been avoiled by the
acceptance of that proposal.
