Peace or War.

A leading article in the Times, after
considering the terrible consequences that
would follow great war, and the terrible re-
sponsibility on the power which brings it on,
concludes as follows: Nevertheless England
must adhere to this demand that the entire
treaty of San Stefano must be submitted to
the Congress. The alternative plan suggest
ed by Russia would raise the previous ques.i
ton on every clause of the treaty, except
those which Russia of herown accord brought
before the Congress. But far more important
ssues than the interests Of any power are at
stake. We take our stand on the existing
treaty The one hope of statesmen, for the
future peace of the world, must be founded
upon the development of system of public
law upon the maintenance and increase OF
the authority of treaties. If the public Law
of Europe be valid, until formally repealed,
any new arrangement between Russia and
Turkey falls ipSo fdcto by its very nature.
Within the scope Of the treaties of 1856 and
1871, it is not in the power of Russia, and 1t is
not even within the competence of the cor
gress. to decide whether or not certain
clauses of the new treaty fall within the cog
nizance of the signatories of the old treaty, 1t
is hound to take the new instrument into con-
liberation as a whole"

Lavarn for War.

A special from Pera says Layard
British Ambassador at Constantinople, is the
head of party who would rather see England
go 10 war with Russia on any grounds, how
ever trivial, than not at all. The present Eng
lsh attitude of the Porte is due to the init
mate friendship between Layard and Vefik
Pasha and the latter's temporary influences
over the Sultan, but the Sultan is man OF
capricious and arbitrary temper and inferior
capacity, and resolution, or court or cabinet
intrigue might destroy Vefik Pasha's ascend
ency, and change the whole Turkish policy

The Decentralization Treaty of Peace.


A Vienna correspondent summarizes
the official text of the treaty of peace. The
treaty is substantially the same as already
teleg:aphed. The territory ceded to Montene-
gro is, however, twice as large as Montenegrins
could have claimed on the basis of the posi-
bilities This decision of territory is principal
" to the northeast, Servia being considerably
increased on the southwest, the Turks to gain
access to Bosnia and Herzegovina without en-
tering Servia or Montenegro, but must cross
the Montrogona mountains. The frontier of
Bulgaria extends further west than was at
first stated, the new boundary being formed by
river Struma approaching within few miles
of SalOnica. Russia, however, has made con-
cession that in one year after the in PRODUCTION
of the new regime in Bulgaria, the Porte,
Russia and European cabinets may agree to
associate the special delegates with the Rus
sian commissioner, who is charged with re-
organization of the province after the treaty
concludes. After exchange of Publications, a
place and time will be agreed upon providing
this act with solemn forms usual with treaties
of peace, but the contracting parties are form
ally bound from the moment of the ratifcati n.
The correspondent remarks that thus far, al
though the cooperation of powers is not dis
tinetly mentioned as necessary to make peace
definitive, still admission is indirectly made
that something more is required.

.ENGLAND,s TICTORY.

The solicitude of some of the French
papers and people over the acquisition of
Cyprus by England, does not seem to be
shared by the ministers of the republic, who
may fairly be supposed to have a fuller
knowledge of the motives of England and
the future ambitions of her statesmen. One
of the plenipotentiaries of Great BIitain-
probably Lord Beaconsfeld- very clearly
shown that, instead of desiring to menace
any of the interests of France, great care
was exercised by her majesty's ministers to
avoid coming in conflict with them. Eng
land, he says, from considerations of. per-
sonal interest, was obliged to guarantee the
integrity of the Porte's Asiatic possessions.
Selling the Dardanelles would have wound
ed the susceptibilities of Europe; taking
Egypt or occupying the extremeties Of the
Suez canal would have hurt the feelings of
France. She decided, therefore, upon oc-
cupying Cyprus. France, on considering
the absolute necessity imposed on England,
will soon see that the occupation of Cyprus
was only suggested to England by her ardent
OeSlfe TO feCOnC1le ner absolute interests
with sympathy for France.
If, however, France finds that this conven-
ton between Turkey and England really
compromises her interests, she has herself to
blame. England tried to induce France, at
the close of the war, to join her in the effort
to maintain the integrity of Turkey. The
government was not inclined to
assume the risk, and England, therefore,
has been obliged to act alone. Being in q
manner isolated, it was necessary, in order
to win success, that she should practically
take the cause of Turkey upon her own
shoulders. To avoid complications with
other European powers she chose
to transfer her operations to the
Asiatic continent She has obtained control
of the road to India, has taken possession of
