PEACE—OR A WAH OF PRINCIPLES . The Conservative minority , arguing for an immediate peace , assumes that the Russian Government is disposed to yield , on mater ial points , to the Allies . The supposition may be correct ; but it has no basis , either of fact or probability . Since the reduction of Sebastopol , nothing but defiance has been breathed by the enemy—nothing but illrvvill by his masked allies . So far , then , as appearances warrant any conclusion , it must be unfavourable to the idea of a settlement . Schemes
of negotiation no longer float in the air , even at Berlin . Throughout the Russian Empire the only activity visible is in the arsenals , and in the machinery of the Conscription . We may go further . Europe itself , with the exception of Russia , is less inclined to peace than it was at the commencement of the year . There is something of recklessness in the new position assumed by Austria towards Piedmont : something of audacity in the vituperations of the President of the Frankfort Assembly towards France . The
Duke of Tuscany , an Austrian Marionette , insulta the Kino of Piedmont , who gathers up hia strength to strike for Italy . Royal Naples , inspired from Vienna , but not so astute or so docile , swaggers portentously at the side of his Capuan Familiar . There is less of conciliation and more of arrogance in the diplomacy of the several Powers . These are nob the agencies of peace . They resemble , rather , the preliminaries of a general wnr . In that war principles must be asserted against dynasties , or it will end in partition , patchwork , and the endowment of the most successful of the military powers . " With Russia herself the obstacles to peace
are not less thnn they were in the spring . She has been defeated ; at her salient point , triply defended by a fleet , a fortress , an army , the Allies have been victorious ; surely thia is not a time for such an empire to retire , unabashed , from the struggle ! If the terras proposed on her part at the Vienna Congress were humiliating to herself , they were at that time—at least the Conservatives said so—useless as guarantees to Turkey , to France , and to England . Consequently , the dilemma iei between adopting a scheme which wo would not even consider afc Vienna , or leaving it to the Czak ' s Cabinet to ofler a now one , iimposing upon Russia additional restrictions
Peace—Or A Wah Of Principles
and , it must fo : How ;/;; adldIti qi ^^^ repeat , there has ; been ' . ^ oiUin-g ^ iji ;^ it ) hi | i ^ i ^ e ) Sti acts or language of the enemy to signify that he is . inclined to change his attitude- ^ > '' /> The desperate agility of the Conservatives brings them to a new device . They will have another version of the plan which Russia offered , and which the Allies refused . ¦»¦'¦ Thus the honour of both will be saved . Bufc ifc was not to the form , but to the effect of tb © original *' Points , " that Russia objected . Her object , divested of all diplomatic disguise , is to conclude a peace which shall not restrict her actions , or -interrupt her policy . Never , since she became an emp ire , has Russia consented to a real sacrifice .
It is of this difficulty that a solution is required . Keep the war within its political limits , narrow it as you will , eliminate all passion , all sentiment , all principle , all reference to the settlement oi Europe upon a substantial basis . Can the war be said to have accomplished any purpose until Russia has surrendered an object of her policy , and given securities that she will not seek , to resume it ? Define her territories on the
Danube , open that river as a common highway , connect Turkey by relations with the European system , enforce , if you can , a permanent authority within the territories of Russia by prescribing the extent of her naval and engineering works on the coasts of the Black Sea , and how will Persia stand ? With what powers will Russia " concert" to lay down her frontier in that direction ? When is that " defect * ' to be " rectified ?"
The Conservative organs—weak and frivolous—have a bad apology to offer for the worst error in their history . There are two grounds on which men . may well agitate for peace : the first is , a denial of the right of Avar ; the second , an aversion to useless war . The Conservatives stand upon neither . They liave eaten a toad in Mr . Gladstone ' s antechamber . They , who derided Lord John Hussein ' s conversion at
Vienna , are converted themselves , and look wistfully at the " Point" which Mr . Disraeli tossed and balanced oil many a malignant epigram . Never has there been in England such a break-down of a great historical party . The reasonings of . its advocates are consciously feeble . They all rest , we have said , on the assumption of a pacific disposition in Russia ; that is , they beg the question , since , if Russia were frankly to abjure her designs of aggression , remove all pretext for a quarrel , and secure the original objects of the war , a
Conservative Cabinet would not be needed to re-establish peace . The nation is entirely misrepresented by those who ascribe to it a lust of bloodshed , and a blind fury against the people of Russia . But the Liberal part of the nation does think that a war ot" principles , to create a free Europe , can alone ex-ecfc permanent barriers against military ambition , and restore to commerce and industry regions now exhausted to fill fortressgranaries , and cities rendered mute and base by the atrocities of any maniac who forma a link in the ruling system .
If Russia , driven from an outpost of her empire , retorts by a new challenge , on what ground is her submission expected P Her injuries may be briefly summarised . 8 h ° has lost the labour and expenditure of half a century in the docka and fortifications ot Sebastopol , in tho Black Soft squadron , and in the minor fortreBsea of the Buxme and ttio Sea of Azof . But there is « wide difference between loaing these ndvantnges and surrendering the privileges by which theywere obtained Cm the Alho * extort each a surrender ? Tho » u . man Kmpiro »¦ " »•* on nil sides—almost invulnerably . To un-Bottle its foundations , it ia noceaeary to bring

Leader Office ,. Saturday , October 27-AE > VANCE OF THE RUSSIAN GRENADIERS . The Danube contain * a letter from Warsaw , of the 18 th , -which says : —" The Russian Grenadiers , according to the last news from the South , are at Perekop , and their advance guard has already entered the Crimea . As only two divisions of that corps , forming four regiments of 3000 men , have been despatched to the seat of war , it may be stated that the corps at Perekop , which consists , besides the Grenadiers , of artillery , troops of reserve , Cossacks , &c ., amounts to about / 30 , 000 strong .
