changing to a more unimpassioned esti-

While in fact, England's doubtful gains
are of a very doubtful character, Russia

declared purpose of ameliorating the
condition of christians, and in her denial
that she sought territorial aggrandize.

She has taken back only Bessarabia, and
that was hers until taken from her by
the treaty Of Paris. She has her Danube
river again, free, and by destroying the
fortresses on its banks, and by gain ing
the promise that no more shall be erected
there, has secured for herself an open
road to the Balkans, and by destroying
the strongest end of that defence line, can
enter Bulgaria with ease should 1t be
necessary to do 80. Austria is made
richer by Bosnia and Herzegovina, as
Russia first wished her to be. As re-.

and Servia, she promised an increase of
territory and it has been granted. She
has won her natural right to her own

latter fortress but Russia objected and the
fortress stands, Russian port. She de.

manded religious liberty for certain prov

she has done more than the most sangu;ne
