PATIENCE COUNSELLED.
Most British Papers, HopeUer
Speak an Ingrg Strain.

London, July 27-"The Gazette" on March
published a statement communicated to the
British by the Russian government setting forth
regulations on the subject of captured vessels
and indicating various exceptional cases under
which a commander OF Russian cruiser would
be entitled to burn sink a captured vessel
after taking off the crew. passengers and papers.
These regulations had been in existence since
1880, and 1t is believed that Lord Lansdowne
did not protest against them on this occasion.
Some newspapers this morning, therefore, coun-
sci patience, especially the Russian govern
ment' in view OF the news from the seat of war;
must have much 10 try It's temper at the present
moment.
majority of the morning papers, however
print editorials in angry strain on the further
reported seizures of vessels by the Russians
ana the delay in the release of the MaIacca.
The Standard says:
We do not wish to embarrass the government
IN the delicate negotiations. but the Ministers
should realize that the temper Of the nation IS
rising Where is the Mediterranean fleet and
the China squadron? What is the use of keep
ing navy If we are TO be subjected TO such in
dignities?

that peace is not always preserved by being
afraid of war, which is the plain English of
being afraid OF complications"

STA is due TO the sinking of the knight Com
