THE "THUNDERERo REYIEWs TIE
SITUATION.
THE ssTHuNDERER'' ON TIE SITUATION.
LONDON, March 16.-The Times, in an ed
itorial, says: On Monday the Russians not
only occupied several villages around Con
stantincple, but took possession of point
on the edge of the most northerly plateau
running down towards the entrance of the
Bosphorus. The small forts which COM
manded the entrance lie directly at the foot
of the position thus occupied, and as these
forts are open on the land side the Russians
have power to march in at any mo-
ment and close the entrance to the
Black sea. AS our Vienna CORE
spondent observes, such movement does
not seem calculated to dispel apprehensions
maintained that though there may not be
secret treaty, a tacit understanding has been
established with Turkey which may involve
arrangements most material to the decision
of the other powers. 1t is to be presumed
the terms of the treaty will provide for the
evacuation within a moderate time of the
whole of Roumelia, and consequently any
position now held near Constantinople, but
meanwhile the fact remains that Russia has
established herself on the Bosphorus.
AS our correspondent observes not only is
there nothing in the recent movements OF
the British to justify this advance, but there
is little doubt it must have been adopted
prior to these movements and independently
of them. 1t would have been difficult for
Russia to adopt course less likely to con-
ciliate the good will of Europe or this coun-
try. Our correspondent at st. Petersburg
does not give more cheerful report.
It is there said, he tells us, by persons Of
considerable influence, that while it is by no
means certain the congress will assemble, it
is not very likely to be successful if it does
England and Austria are accused Of being
animated not by mere desire to protect
their legitimate and material interests, but
by jealousy of the military and diplomatic
success of Russia. They are supposed,
therefore, to be desirous of diminishing, as
far as possible, the consequences Of the war.
Russia, it is stated, will declare though she is
willing to have such questi,ns as that of the
straits discussed, the conditions she has
already signed are the minimum of what she
has the right and determination to demand.
The diminution of the results Of the war

will seek to increase them by demanding the
extension of Greece, but the effect of this
will be to break the last link of the English
alliance with Turkey and the Sultan will
then recognize Russia as his surest ally.
That these notions should be seriously enter
tanned by persons Of authority in the Rus
sian capital indicates, as we have said, a con-
dition of mind by no means favorable to q
satisfactory conclusion of the present nego.
tiations. The terms of peace may prove ar
agreeable surprise, but Russia is not assist
ing Europe to place favorable construction
/ upon them"
