Barope Lus made of Promia contributed by, oach, the remaining strange progress during the past two and twenty third being carried to Reserve Fund. years. International Law has been en ofton „broken, unui a disordor so profaand has replaced the equilibrium, formerly so neecssary, that all Rolidarity, bot went the Stator how theappeared. A new and egotistical principle has liten gratually established that of non-intervention, of isuks tion. Left to itssif, the Ottoman Empire has natonfabed the world during five months by the bravery of its armies and the rail power of its military realstance; but roversea case, and the exhausted Turks have been forced to sue for

But the con- dust of Russia toy proves how little ahe ja disposed, to follow the generous example set bé-, fore her by the Treaty of Paris. The terms who has diotated to the unfortunate Turkish negotiatore show it would be impossible to make a mors eruel abuse of victory. Everything that the allies did not impase on Rassis in 1836 the herself imposes an Turkay to-day; everything that she was not made to suffer she inflicts on the shaquishal. And Europe is so disorganised the principle of everybody for himself has ted to such profound demoralization, and weakened the Power to auch a degree, that they dare not come forward and protest in the name of in- ferpational justise and the Frosty of Parie against the exorbitant and audicious pretensions of Russia. The comparison we have just drawn abundantly proves that Russia was not worthy of the gonoresity extended to her in 1856 any more than she deserves her viotory of 1978,” ·
