LATEST POSITION OP THE RUSSO-TURKISH DISPUTE . From a mere dispute between Russia and Turkey , the quarrel , which has had Constantinople for its centre , has now extended to a question involving the relations of the principal States in Europe , and directly implicating Russia with England and France . The merits of the more extended dispute can be best understood by defining its actual position in the chief capitals . St . Petersburgh is but partly unveiled to us , and we are left to judge of the position of the Emperor , partly by rumours of a very plausible kind , and partly by his own acts , which , are almost enough .. Two more documents have been issued , arid have arrived in London this week . One is the second circular from Count Vesselrode , to the representatives of Russia at foreign courts ; and the other is the proclamation issued by General Grortchakoff to the inhabitants of Moldavia and Wallachia . In the latter , the
Moldavians are assured that their territories are not occupied for war , and that they will be reimbursed for the expense of . keeping the Russian troops , at a rate to be agreed upon . In the meanwhile , in the immediate presence of Russian troops , certain persons in Jassy have declared their devotion to the Czar . The Russian Government therefore has definitively , though it declares provisionally , taken possession of the principalities . In his second circular , Count jSTesselrode asserts that , in spite of warnings from the Russian Government , the Governments of
France and England have involved themselves in the dispute ; have advanced their fleets " in sight of the Turkish capital , " which would bo against treaties ; and he declares that Russia will not withdraw her troops from Moldavia and Wallachia until the two fleets be withdrawn from Turkish waters . This has been construed to be an inclination in the Emperor to recede , since it would enable him to do so on an act to be performed by France and Great Britain . Such a construction , however , is evidently a mistake . The British and French fleets are to be
withdrawn in , addition to the concessions from Turkey ; in other words , France and England , as well as Turkey , must succumb to the dictates of Russia . The assertions that the French and English fleets are within eight of tho Turkish capital is simply false . It has been already observed , that tho Emperor discriminates in tho strength and sharpness of his diplomatic missives . Turkey he bullies ; England , France , and Europe , he rather more politely warns ; his own eubjeots he excites . He almost threatens England and Franco with war , unless they
withdraw from that position which tho administrations in London and Paris , as well as the ambassadors in Constantinople , hayo deliberately resolved upon as essential to maintain tho status quo in Europe . Of Turkey , ho asserts that her position would undo all that Russia has acquired ; which would imply that tho Emperor construes himself to have acquired , by gradual encroachments , certain administrative " rights " in Turkey . His own subjects he has excited to a high degree of religious enthusiasm ; but sovereigns do not trouble themselves to sow exhave
citement in their peoples , unless they a prospective use for the crop of passions . Tho belief of the most distinguished statesmen in St . Petersburg , that peace will ultimately bo maintained , is unintelligible , unless they moan to take tho settlement into their own hands ; indeed , tho idea actually in tho ascendant seems to bo , to proceed with war , and to onforco tho dictates of Russia , not onl y upon Turkey , but upon Franco and England . This resolve to havo war for tho sake of war , to indulgo vain-glory , or attain conquests , is comparatively a novolty m tho
present generation ; but we might point to other instances of the same passion , in men not m irresponsibly situated as theEmperor ; and although Englishmen ban scarcely yet understand it , they are likely enough to learn more about it experimentally , i ^ In Constantinople the position of the Government has not essentially altered . The Sultan adheres to his determination to give guarantees of a satisfactory kind—as , indeed , he has already done—for the tolerant treatment of his Christian subjects ; but he refuses to bind himself to act , in his internal administration , under the special
dictation of Russia ; a determination , says Count Nesselrode , which , if it were admitted , would undo all existing treaties and all the rights that Russia has acquired in Turkey . It may be that de facto the Czar has acquired a position in which he has intermeddled between the Sultan and his subjects ; the Sultan announcing to the people of Servia , for instance , that with the advice of his august ally and so forth , he is resolved upon a particular measure . But even an improper , intervention may be tolerated until a claim is advanced to establish it by a statute ; and the European powers assisting Turkey in her deliberation have agreed that such a right cannot , as a statutable right , be conferred upon Russia by Turkey .
The position of Austria is a matter of some anxious speculation ; the report that her troops have entered Bosnia and Servia is disbelieved by the Austrian Minister in London , by our own Foreign Minister , and is denied in credible despatches from Vienna . The young Emperor indeed is said to have conceived offence at the little consideration that Russia has Bhown for Austrian interests , arid with reason . Evidently
Russia has not scrupled to shake Europe in every part , and few states could stand a shaking so ill as Austria . It is natural , therefore / that the Emperor of Austria should incline to that alliance which promises the quietest maintenance of the status quo , andwhich in the present instance would be the alliance with England and France . He appears , however , to be making a separate effort at conciliation .
Prussia is still a mystery , perhaps even to herself , bandying calculations as to the probable victory on either side ; for Prussia dearly loves success . But it is now rumoured that she also has made some conciliatory attempt . It is not to be denied , however , that very sagacious politicians in Paris still suspect both Austria and Prussia of double-dealing . Emile de Girardin reckons them as really siding with Russia .
We need not consider the position of the smaller powers , dismissing them with one remark . A very few of them might derive some aggrandisement under cover of Russian victories , might become vassals of that vast power , but most of them must rest for their security on tho general maintenance of public law and order in Europe . We may particularly glance at Sweden , Holland , Belgium , and Sardinia , as representing the respectable order of royalties that have a vested interest in European tranquillity .
The course which may bo taken by the Government at Washington , we havo always regarded as being of first-rate importance . We have at present no special information to guide us . Wo nave already stated that Russian Agency has been active in the Union , to divert tho great Republic to the side of tho most lawless and despotic power in tho world . But we do not believe that these machinations havo made any roal progress ; on tho contrary , tho demeanour of the representatives of America in the East , leads to the belief
that she will know her true position so far , that if she interferes at all , it will be in arraying 1 herself on the side of justice , of public law , of national independence , and of practical freedom . The position of our own Government appears to be like that of the Porto , materially unaltered . Lord Clarendon has declared that tho British Government will not recal its fleet at the command of Russia ; he has also declared that Franco
and England "aro united in their courso , and tho course taken by Franco has already been , made public in tho note transmitted by M . Drouyn de Lhuys to Count Nessolrodo . Franco and England then jointly refuse to recognise tho pretensions of Russia in Turkey , and call upon the Emperor to sottlo peaceably the dispute that he himself has provoked . This cannot bo better exprcBsod than in tho closing words of tho jprendi note ;—
