It is true that Russia has to some extent estranged Roumanian feeling, but neither this petty state nor new Bulgaria would venture to oppone a Russian advance unless their feeble efforts were backed up by a more formid able military power than Turkey is ever likely to become. Perhaps it would have been better for the Turks had they,... in the late war, confined their line of defence to the Balkans and the Quadri- lateral instead of allowing their forces to be crushed on Bulgarian battle fields, and the Russians finally to march almost unopposed through the Balkan passes, but there can be no doubt that the loss of the Quadrilateral fortresses is a heavy blow to Turkey, while, with proper energy and skilful direction, a large army defending the Danube could render that river a most formidable obstacle to a Russian invading army

The other articles of the Treaty have been pretty correctly indicated in Renter's telegrams. Houmanis, Servia, and Montenegro obtain their independ- ence and the two latter increase of territory. Roumania has to give up Besarabia, but receives in exchange the malarious Dobrudscha. The tribute of both Roumania and Servia is to be capitalized at a rate to be arranged by -the Powers with the Porto, and Servia and Montenegro are "to bear of the Turkish public debt proportionate to their new territory." Certain conoce. sions are also to be made to Crete and Greece. Nothing is said in the Treaty, so far as it is published, in regard to the passage of the Bosphorous and Darda nelles, excepting that the treatise of 1856 and 1871 are to be raaintained in all those depositions which are not abrogated `or modified by the present Treaty-which means that the old conditions in regard to the passage of these 'straits are not to be altered. The clauses of the Treaty relating to Asistio Turkey are wanting, but here it is certain the Russians have taken another long step forward, gaining possession, as they do, of the frontier fortresses of Armenia.

We do not even know the done with our concurrence. We are quite party, and consequently it could not be willing to remain in obscurity rather than became popular in that fashion. Although the name of "Orangeman" may to a great extent savour of the celebrated twig, I may here stato that the most of us in Hongkong are provided with a weapon of more recent date than the "shillelagh," and that while we love, oven unto death, tho "Paint," we are as roady to die to support the British Govorament, either at Home or abroad.
