"^ Diplomacy And Its Accomplices. A Stob...
" ^ DIPLOMACY AND ITS ACCOMPLICES . A stobt is told in Berlin , curious in itself , but more interesting as an illustration : of the system which naturally accompanies the ; present plan , of secret : international intercourse . It may be said that if there ia an official diplomacy ,. there-is also a > diplomatic . Opposition ; with tiua : remarkable , departure : from the analogy , in the fact that ) the diplomatic Opposition ; generally succeeds : better than the accredited diplomacy . We find , the story to which we refer in the Berlin correspondence of the Turin Ris & rgimento ,, and in . a paper published at Brussels called La JPresse JBelge .
In August , 1855 , the Mxmitewr JFranpais published a letter , from , tie Emperor ! CJaj ? oiiEON to Marshal PfiiiiSBiERi . felicitating . him on the victory of the Tchernaya ,. and saying ; " I know by communications which appear to be positive that the Russian : army cannot sustain during the winter the contest in the Crimea" How could ! Loins NajoIiEON
know anything , about the state of the Russian army ? When Heotkeldey went to the fatal . dueL , he gave to his second the key of a box containing correspondence , which he alluded to as comprising , the evidence against those who had been traitors to their country . The Emperor ' s information , and the allusion of Heinkeldby have been explained . by the new disclosures . When the Western Powers
went to war with Russia , M . Manteutfjel / the Prime Minister of the King of Prussiaannounced to the St . Petersburg . Governt merit an inexorable neutrality on . the par _ of . King PaKDEBiCK "WiiiiiiAM . M . Man TEUiTEii had reason to suppose that the effect of liis despatches , was counteracted in Russia ; he set HisiiirKEiiDEY , tho chief of the police , one of hia most faithful retainers , to discover the mysterious influence which kept his Grovernment in check ; and Tjeohen , whose name iB already known to us ,
was set to watch tho correspondence of GrEBlaoh and N ^ ebuhiij two leaders of the aristocratic party at Berlin . Teciien" was at first foiled by finding that the correspondence of tho two statesmen did not pass through the Post-office ; but ho succeeded in insinuating , himself iuto tho friondship of GeblA-Ch ' s servants , and- eventually in stealing some of tho Conservative statesman ' a letters , which had been transmitted to St . Petersburg under tho cover of certain correspondence from ladies—no uncommon means of transmitting
questionable correspondence . Iho corrorspondenco continued thus in duplicate , from the officials and from the Tory Opposition ; but copies of tho letters were kept for the use of the Prussian Government . M . TiDCHEisr , howovor , had another market for hia wares : ho sold copies to tho liroiich Government . Thus tho machinery which waa intended
byy the reactionary Camarilla- of Beriiny to serve the purposes of Bussi % actually assisted in the purposes of Russia ' s most effectual antagonist , France .. At some future / day a further light will be thrown , upon the agencies which l & ussia has employed in * the course of the present war We have before had occasion to point to the highly probable existence of such agencies in all quarters of the globe—in India , in tho south of Europe , in North Ameriea ; it turns
out , as we suspected , that Soerobel , the agent of the British enlistment in the TTnited States , boasted of his employment under the Russian Government ; and we have reason to believe that agents of the same Gtovern * - ment are now active amongst the extreme cosmopolitan party in London itself . It is possible that such agencies may on particular _^ . __ . L _^ . _ . _ I __ . ^ h ^ a _ - ^— — ^_— ^^ ^ J ^ L- ¦ _^_ - ^ ^^ nm ' m ^^™ W ^ ^^ V C 4 ^ r ^^ WV ccasions i / iie llvoix phuo ja «
^ ^^^ ^^^^^ ^ o nave procurtju . cu . . the Russian Government ; but there are many reasons to suppose that it is an instrument more dangerous for the hands which use it than for those against whom it is directed . It is of course the interest of such persons to represent themselves as habitually succeeding ; in many eases they do not succeed , but they are the more bound by their own interests to misinform their
Governments . They are also by their nature a mean , unscrupulous , and cruel class ; they are under none of the ordinary obligations of patriots , gentlemen , or even of commonly honest men . There is no reason why they should not deceive their masters as well as strangers . The facilities afforded to them by their first employers give them opportunities of passing
from market to market , and of disposing ol their wares to two or more parties at once . It is inherent in the nature of things that they should have these opportunities , and that they should be without a scruple to prevent their profiting by the opportunity . The story told in . Berlin , therefore , is quite consistent with natural probability , and with such , facts as are known to us .
The existence of this supplemental agency is the necessary consequence of the insincerity , even more than secrecy , which has become the habitual practice of diplomacy . For that insincerity , for a large part of that secrecy , there is no practical need . Gf-reat nations can seldom have substantial interests or definite purposes which they cannot avow to the world . The common excuse for secrecy is that personal feelings are easily excited , and that by preserving a confidential character to earlier communications , diplomacy at last works to its own ends without
exposing those ends to be thwarted by personal irritations . This is as much as to say , that those statesmen , or those princes , who govern countries , are swayed by the pettiest failings of our nature . It would of course be impossible for such subserviency of the great to tho paltry to continue if diplomacy conducted its debates in public . On some occasions it might bo desirable to use preliminary discussions in a confidential mode , especially where tho communications have to pass between men
that have not positively made up their minds , and whoso conclusions , therefore , would bo modified by further information and by tho presentment of other views . But confidential communications are distinct from uniform and systematic secrecy . Whore all communications passing between two parties- are secret , tho jealousy of any third , party ia naturally aroused , and a motivo is created for that third party to establish an agency which will onable it to circumvent tho secret
communications between tho othor two . Each of tho other two is equally liable to bo rondercd jealous , and thus , whilo all tho states of Europe are endoavouring to conduct their negotiations ttie-a-tcte 7 with the veil of
