Gcordin& To The Papers Of The Week, Some...
GCORDIN & to the papers of the week , some JjL totally new attempt " at pacification is going on . There are several versions of this subject before the public . The Times contradicts the statement , that the Emperor of Russia lias issued a new Manifesto , and a new Note , to the Governments of Europe , signifying that he will admit of nothing but war ; and explains , that at the instance of France and Great Britain , Austria and
Prussia have agreed to a Convention which should bind the Four Powers to resist any disturbance of the existing territorial arrangements of Europe . That the tendency of the proposed arrangement would be to restore matters to the Btatus quo appears to be admitted on all hands ; but the Morning Post gives a totally different version of the means taken to that end .
According to that journal , the Cabinet of Vienna has assented to a Protocol of the Four Powers . The first consequence of that agreement is , that a ? collective Note has been despatched to Constantinople , proposing a settlement of the Eastern questioa by means of a Conference , in which the plenipotentiaries of France and llussia should take part . On the sentiments of the Sultan being known , negotiations will bo opened with St . Petersburg !! . Nothing has been
contemplated as yet , says the Morning Post , beyond this invitation to join in a European Conference for the settlement of the question , and no arrangements have been entered into for ulterior measures in case of faibiro in the present undertaking . The Morning Post anticipates that the Conference will com © to nothing . The only difference which it offora from previous Conferences i « > that it would admit Turkey to a distinct political status in the Council of Europe . According to the Austrian Lloyd , the project in ono for
« - quadruple alliance , which would oxorcise a compulsion in enforcing its conditions upon ¦ ¦" ttuRBia and the Porto ; and this project , says the Lloyd , originated in the persuasion of tho British Cabinet . According to ono account , therefore , t-h © Conference would lay down the luwis of a law binding upon those who join in it , to maintain tho existing territorial distribution of ¦ "Ruropo , and compulsory by tho forco of the t four Powers upon tho other States of Europe ; while , according to tho Post , thoro in nothing "lore than a now invitation to n Conference at
Vienna , with the difference that the ambassadors of the belligerent Powers would be admitted ; and , according to the Austrian Lloyd , this project originated with the British Cabinet . We have no authority to -Bay which account is right : we only point to the fact , that in the main , upon diplomatic subjects , the Post has upon the whole been the best and earliest informed of the morning journals . In the meanwhile , the Turks have gained some
new successes ; the Russians have been once more repulsed from the Fort of St . Nicholas , and at other places , with considerable loss . Tho Sultan has received General Baraguay d'Hilliers , and while professing a willingness to accept of peace , has declined to be bound by the terms which be was willing to accept before proceeding to hostilities , objecting on the reasonable ground , that after being compelled to make extensive preparations for war , his position is altered in fact and in equity .
On another frontier of [ Russia , jealousy has been avowed in the highest quarter . The King of Sweden has mot liis Parliament with tho declaration that in order to maintain tho independence of Sweden , it was necessary to prepare for self-defence . Sweden has never forgiven llussia the provinces taken without a shadow of reason by the sheer right of superior strength ; and tho son of Bernadottc may once more lind himself in a remarkable alliance with the heir of Napoleon .
In Paris , the white-haired Cmrtoryski has addressed a meeting of his countrymen , and has shown them that the agitated state of the political horizon promises an opening for restoring Poland to tho list of nations . Tho accounts from Italy indicate a considerable ferment , not only in the xwovincos of the North of the Peninsula , but also in most of the provinces which constitute tho Austrian empire . Itemarlcable language on this Bubjoct has been
permitted to appear in the National G-azette of Prussia . In that papor it is represented , that while Hungary is smarting under tho sense of conquest inflicted by Russia—for Austria was impotent to do it—Croatia , Sclavonia , and Silesia arc discontented , their merit not appreciated ; the Italian provinces arc kept down only by compulsion , and tho Gorman provinces ato loud against the Russian system , llustuan policy , and Rubs ion subsorvionoy of tho Austrian Court . It would not be wonderful if the
Austrian Emperor were , in the phrase of a contemporary , " lend his countenance" to any new project for protracting peace ; but if he were to do so , the favour from him would be qualified by two serious qualifications . His countenance is none of the best favoured—politically , at least , even at a gift ; and his diplomatic faith is so
doubtful , that every ally must feel how abruptly the loan might be revoked , or perhaps it might be converted into a mere paper issue of the Imperial countenance . No one trusts Austria ; she cannot trust even herself , but hangs suspended between the fear of Russia , of revolution , and of the Western Powers .
The latest news from America , while it tends to confirm what we have already said on the subject of the feeling about European matters , also proves that , we were right in treating the Russianised tendencies apparent in certain journals as the caprice of a day . The Washington Union generally regarded as an official organ , now adopts , as representing the views of the Government , a declaration pronouncing Russia to be
without reason or justice , utterly to be reprobated , and Turkey to be deserving of staunch support . It is hinted that the European Powers will not be able to settle tho Turkish difficulty by themselves , and that it is reserved for America to do so , in Asia . Why America should limit herself to Asia wo do not know ; but what we do know is , that the voice and example of America would bo of the greatest service in making our own Government buckle to and listen with a
more willing and bolder ear to the stirring propositions of Franco . Certain wo aro that the attempt to propose peace on a falao basis can only weaken the Powers that aro prepared to maintain justice , while it contributes to the resources of those Powers which rely upon intrigue . Our MiniBtcrsplcad that they arc conBultingprvidonce , whilo they aro really consulting infirmity of purpose ; and if America choose to tako tho load ^ mere shame , more competition in fltatefimahtfiip , moro aontitt of tho necessity for maintaining tlno place of England , would make our Government tro forward .
A Russian question has occurred on our very shores . A Russian frigate and corvette camo to Portsmouth , ostensibly for repair ; but the Times sayB that tho repair ** were only a " base pretext , " " the position of tho officers being that of apios . " Tho naval officers of tho Czar , it seoms , havo as much difficulty in keeping the 8 uilor » to their duty ,
