THE “MALACCA” CASE.

The following quotations will give our readers. an excellent idea of how feeling was raming at Hemo Inst month.

The Tines "Count Lamstorff must realise that, if we refrain from strong langungs on the conduct of the so-called Volunteer cruisers, it is not because we do not feel strongly. We do not employ the kind of epithets which are being applied to that conduct in Vienna and elsewhere, because we do not desire to make the position more diffenlt than it is for Russia by the But on the merits of use of heated language. the case we are absolutely agreed. We take exactly the same view of them as do the rest of the world. We can so no sort of justification either in international law or custom or in prin- cipts for the contention that a vessel can change her obarcter at will from a private ship to a ship of war....

It is best that there should Is no misunderstanding upon this poiat. No Government in this country, whatever its fear ings or complexion, could possibly acquiosen în the pretensions which are implied in the action, of the Petersburg. No Government could allow the Malacca to be taken into a Russian port or condemned by a Russian priza court. Public opinion on this subject is absolutely unanimous It has been, and happily it still remaine, quits calm and self-possessed, but there could be no more fatal mistake than to imagino that it is therefore indifferent. It is tranquil because it is confident that the Ensian Government, when oneo its attention has been drawn to the facts, will not adhere to an attitude which is plainly

utenable,”

The Morning Post: To have let the Heisure of the Mincer puss would have been to niter, by admitting the right of Russian warships

to pass the Straits, the whole balance of rights in thebovant, and to permit precedents which would be detrimental to the seafaring world. To challenge the seizure was themfore noenssary. But it involves the resolution to abide by the position thus taken up. The objection

to the seizure of the Mulacca is that for Croat Britain to acquiesce in it would be for her to acquiesce in the tearing up of the Treaty of London of 1871, and that at a time when her clear duty us a ventral is to maintain that treaty intact."

The Telegraph:~Lord Lansdowne hus faced the situation created by the abuse of the right of enrol in the only manner worthy of a British Minister compelled to defend the interests of British camiñorca and the homur of the Flux. Acting with an unhesitating fireness and promptituls, which recall the strongest days of national policy, he has justified the trust of the country, whose confidence in the Foreign Secretary has grown with every day since his accession to office. If this country were capable under any circumstances of tamely eninring sa grave an injury to the most vitul of its interests and so grosi an insult to its honour, we should have forfeited our claim to be regarded as a great nation. . In face of the influxed state of opinion in St. Petersburg

it would be unwise to blind ourselves to the existence of possibilities that would be otherwise unthinkable. This country has adopted with decision and composure an attitude from which there can be no retreat or flinching."

We should not readily entertain the anggestion that these provodings are the result of considered antagonism of the part of Russi towards this country. To do so would be to charge har with the intention to act Europe in a blaza. Moreover, the circumstance ilat Germany is involved would seem to finally dispose of that idea, even if it were entertained). Bui on tho general question of those exploits, Russia is on the boras of a dilemma. tho Voluntoor Floot is mercantile and withent belligerent rights, or its passage through the Dardanelles was an infringement of the Treaty of Paris of 1855.".

The Chronicle" It is obvious that the captain of the Petersburg has committed a grave error of judgment; his Government can hardly refuse to make prompt and appropriate redross, waless it is deliberately desired to complicate the international situation.. Meunwhile, the situation illustrates the risks of acquioscence. Principéis obsta is a sound rule, where dangerous issues are, involved. The fact is, of course, that Great Britain on general modified interest in the grounds had only maintenance of the old rule closing the Straits to monof war.
