UEVOETTTION TAUariT BY DIPLOMACY . The events of the past twelve months have suggested many historical parallels , but 3 iono more interesting tban a recent retrospection of the past , which the Moniteur has furnished to La Presse . The Moniteur cites from a file of 1805 , an instance of aggression l > y Russia upon Turkey . The Moniteur Universal , of September the 8 th , 1805 , in a letter from Constantinople , of the 23 rd of July , related a proposition runde by Russia to Turkey . The proposal was for a treaty offensive and defensive between die two States . But an alliance with Russia is tUc bug of a "bear ; and so it was in this cuhc . Amongst tlie terms it was proposed Unit " all the subjects of the Turkish Empire
who professed ith ^ e Christian religion shotkH pass under the protection of -Russia , and thate-very trme they should > be moteited by * the Turks , the ^ Borrte ihouddbe bound ^ to weord redress on lfoe representation of the 'Russian Ambassador . " H « re we encounter the- exact prototype of Prince Menscnikdff . The same demand < wis modified under the treaty of iRainardji , which secured for * the'Greek ' subjects of Turkey such protection as ; eouM ! heaccorded , by enabling the "Russian Ambassador to make represeaitationB'' ia ^ fiivour of the injured Qre ^ aubfeets of tFurkey . »

Ohnstiansvhave acquired a consciousness oT "their own jgtrength : ; "but ^ Russia is better nnderstood ; ncm than she was then , and ^ bTd-ui-Meajid / ifiSus- ' tamedTsy a less shivrsh-and fanatical population , ^ guaranteed'by Eurooe , an 4 by a special combination even more significant . In 1805 France and England were the great representatives cif opposite sides ; Turtey and Hussia were lint m&eweights in the contest ; now , France andlSngland are one , at sea and on shore . But while the world 'has been making ^ progress , diplomacy-seems to have stood still ; indeed , stagnation was almost inevitable . Diplomacy is an
art , and art never advances with the discoveries of the science that ministers to it , but on ] y * whhthe occasion that . gives it opportunity ; and diplomacy , being hitherto the servant oi'tliroTies and royal families , has had no opportunity since the last European commotion of exercising itself on a new field or in a new direction . In 1854 we still hare the diplomacy of 1815 or 1805 . Diplomacy itself is astounded when it arrives at the very contingency which it had itself predicted . M . de Chateauvieux , whose Lettres de St . James-were printed at Geneva in 1 S 20 , prophesied the combinations and the questions of 1854 ; and calculated that llussia would attain to a gigantic power , 'to balance which it would require that other Btates should resist and form a new European equilibrium .
" Such combinations , said M . de Chateauvieux , " would be the exact reverse of those hitherto made : that is to say , hitherto combinations have been in favour of Russia , for' the Teaaon that her forces were necessary to k ^ ep down rebellion , and this was rendered possible , because Kueaia hast not hitherto offended the great Btatas of the continent . u liut when this spirit shall change , tJio continent will find itself in immediate , collision with thia empire , without having a counterpoise to oppose its power ; for neither one » f those Btates ib strong enough to fulfil that task . It will be necessary then for them to make alliances amongst themselves , in order to form masses equivalent to tliut of ltuaai / t . " &t Such a pLan , '' says M . Ohateauvi « ux , writing in 1820 ,
" Seems chimerical now , and it will bo so , so long ns society remains decomposed , as it still La in the Kuropcan states , and while it retains tiio ditttruBt which that decomposition inspires . The necessity for alliunce nguinat a common dungcr will bring back unity and confidence . u The danger must , therefore , show itself bcloro it ^ ul bo nlilo to orguniso a reBiBtunco e « imin € inHurato with itaeli . 1 his danger cun only come from thu Kaat ; it ia only ihcro tlial

THE CIVIL SERVICE AS IT IS TO BE . A tjoan for the reform of the Civil Service has long been brewing in the official mind ; many contributions towards the discussion have been under the consideration of statesmen high in office ; ai kind of proximate scheme has been laid before the Treasury , and we have previously describe * its general character . It would consist chiefly in throwing open the candidateship . for civil offices to the public at large , admission to be the prize ol proved capacity ; the cixil servants to be transferable from one department to another ; to be promoted by merit , tested under examination 01
