THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1870. KUSSIA. AND THE EAST. From the London Saturday Review. Although M. Thiers will not prooare a Russian alliance for France, it is not unlikely that his mission may suggest or facilitate a rovival of Russian enterprises in the East. It bas been plausibly conjectured that he is in structed to offer, in return for diplomatic or military aid, a modification of the treaty of 1850 to which France was a prinoipal party. It is scarcely probable that the Government of Bt. Petersburg will enter into an onerous contract when it has already secured the only consideration which the French agent can T", 11 . . M. - 1 - , 1 propose. X' or me moment r ranee is uuauio to exercise any foreign interference; and if Russia infringed the conditions of the Treaty of Paris, she wonld only have to reckon with England, with Austria, and perhaps with North Germany. The connivance or co-operation of France in the aggrandizement of Russia might have keen obtained on several oocasions since the close of the Crimean war. Almost imme diately after the conclusion of peace the Emperor Napoleon began to intrigue against English policy by encouraging the union of the Danubian Principalities, which under the arrangement of 1850 was to be kept apart. In lfi0 Lord Palmerston with difficulty baffled a French project of occupying Syria; and three or four years ago the French Gov ernment favored at intervals the Cretan in surrection, which was openly countenanced, and perhaps promoted, by Russia. It is not known whether there were any secret nego tiations which would have explained the apt arent caprice of the Emperor Napoleon's policy. His projects of approximation to llussia were interrupted by the Polish con troversy of 1803, and he was probably at all times hampered by his desire to cultivate friendly relations with Austria and with Eng land; yet in 180G he was prepared to make war on Austria without provocation, and when he composed the secret Project of Treaty for the seizure of Belgium he must have anticipated a rupture with England. The Hussian Government seems for the most part to have received his fitful advances with prudent reserve. For several years after the war the energies of the Empire were employed in repairing its resources, and in great or ganic chan ges of the Bocial system. After an interval the Government seemed to devote itself to the successful prosecution of conquest in Central Asia, and to the extension of the railway system. It has been generally believed that the prosperity and industry of llussia have been temporarily checked by the abolition of Berf ago. There have also been ) rumors Jof financial embarrassment, and of imperfec tions of military equipment; but, early in lSG'J, 40,001) men were armed with breech loader?, and the field artillery, all with rifled guns, v. as very powerful. In the same year the prosecution of an elaborate system of military railways traversing the southern and western provinces suggested the inference that schemes of aggrandizement would be postponed until the works were completed; but the great catastrope which has since oc curred could not then have been foreseen, and it is not improbable that the collapse of France may, have affected the policy of Russia. The official secrecy which wa3 rigidly en forced in the days of Nicholas I has been im perfectly dispelled by the partial freedom now accorded to the newspaper press. A careful student may learn from the journals of St. Petersburg and Moscow the opinions of diffe rent political sections, and tho real or pro fessed inclination of the Government. It appears that public opinion, as far as it exists in Russia, is on the side of France against Germany; while, on the other hand, the Emperor Alexander openly sympathizes with the military triumphs of the German Princes. Cautious Russian statesmen foresee a pos sible collision with the formidable power of Germany, arising from the same causes in the Baltic provinces which led to the forcible severance of Schleswig and Ilolstein from Denmark, some Russian journals have even recommended the conciliation of Poland as the first step to a league of the Sclavonic races against German aggression; but the Poles .themselves, even in Posen, appear to sympathize with France, and it will be difficult to disturb the understanding be tween Prussia and Russia which has subsisted Since the partitions of Poland in the last century. It may be considered certain that the Russian Government will, in accordance with its published declaration, continue to be absolutely neutral between the actual belli gerents. In Borne versions tho neutrality w9 made contingent on the policy of Austria; but as Austrian intervention is wholly out of the question, the result will be the same as if the policy of Russia were wholly uncondi tional. General Steinmetz, .who was lately transfeircd from a command in France to the Govtrnor-Generalship of Posen, will not find himself engaged in active service against his Russian neighbor. Hereafter the German Govern ment will probably find it necessary to pro tect the independence of the valley of the Danube in concert with Austria; but for the present a quarrel with Russia would be highly inconvenient. The grievances of the German population of the Baltic provinces will not excite active sympathy as long as all the forces of the nation are required to complete the series of victories in France. The two belligerents are likely to be equally passive if Russia should determine on any disturbance of the arrangements of 1800. There is probably so me foundation for the rumor of movements of troops from the neighborhood of Moscow to the Southern provinces; and it is said that General Igna tjeff, Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, bad, like Menscbikoff in 18.V, lately used menacing language. It is possible that the Russian Government may wish to create un easiness and alarm, as a preparation for re opening the arrangements of 18fi; but there is at present no reason to apprehend a repe tition of the violent proceedings of the Em peror Nicholas. The ill-omened experiment of crossing the Pruth would not even be a violation of territory actually belonging to Turkey, although it would be technically an act of war against the Forte. The Prussian Prince who ocoupies the anomalous and precarious throne of the Danubian Provinces may be supposed to prefer the nominal su premacy of Constantinople to the uninvited Eresence of a potentate who would reduce im to real vassalage. Even with the Sultan it it necessary to find a pretext for a rupture before a declaration of war; and, as far as is known, nothing bas lately happened even to the keys of the Holy Sepulchre. A more seri ous obstacle to aggressive enterprises consists in the vicinity of Austria. Notwithstanding financial difficulties and constitutional strug gles, the Austro-IIungariau , monarchy is a tnatoh for Russia in the field, and it can never tolerate the extension of the Russian dominions to the South. The Panslavonia agitation which was enoouraged by Russia three or four years ago revealed or created a community of ' interests between Austria and Turkey. The King of Bohemia could not afford to be neutral when Turkish territory was invaded on the pre tense of national and religious sympathy. It is of course possible that the rumors of Russian armaments may have a foundation in fact; but there is always a balance of pro bability against the perpetration of an im prudent act. A semi-official Russian journal probably represents the policy of the Gov ernment when it declares that all the recent rumors are unauthorized and for the present false, but that they correctly indicate public opinion and the probabilities of the future. The veteran of the Foreign Office who at the beginning of last July assured Lord Gran ville that tranquillity prevailed through out the world expressed a not unrea sonable judgment. It was impossible to anticipate the wanton blunder which han for the time prostrated France; and the result of the surprise whioh was effected by Napo leon III is not encouraging to wanton dis turbers of the peace. There probably never was a time when a more universal impression prevailed of the serious character and fearful consequences of war. In this, if in no other way, improvements in armament and in mili tary organization may perhaps tend even tually to the benefit of mankind. Russia would derive no real advantage from territo rial extension which could compensate the sufferings and losses of one or two cam paigns. The extinction of English influence on the continent has removed one of the chief secu rities of peace. Even the blunders of Eng lish diplomacy werej formerly prompted by a sincere desire to avert the evils of war. Any ambitious designs whioh might be cherished by Russia would how be encouraged by re liance on Mr. Gladstone's dread of war, and on his sympathies with the Orthodox Eastern Church. It is possible that same of his col leagues may see the necessity of firmness, if the Russian Government proposes a revision of the Treaty of 1850. It happens that the restrictions which are most obnoxious to Russia refer to her naval forces in the Black Sea; and notwithstanding the helpless con dition of the army, the maritime power of England is still unbroken. The object of the stipulations of 18"G was to pro tect Turkey, and especially Constantinople, against a naval attack. Sebastopol, and the fleet which was ultimately sunk in its-harbor, formed a standing menace to the Porte; and it seemed to the Congress of Paris that it was piudent to prohibit tho possession of a weapon which could only be used for mis er levous purposes. hue France is for the time incapable of taking a part in European councils, the concert of England with Austria would suffice to deter Russian aggression, There is no immediate reason to appehend an invasion by land, for an intended war would have been preceded by revolts in the Noithern provinces, - which might have served as a pretext for intorven tion. The Bulgarian insurrection has long since come to -an end, and Servia and Montenegro have lately been quiet. Greece, having sunk into the lowest disrepute, would rot be a useful ally, even if the Greeks still wish to promote Russian aggrandizement, which would involve the disappointment of their own ambitious hopes. If Russia medi tates a restless and troublesome policy, it will at least be easy to the English Government to indicate disapproval. Russian statesmen must have learned, from the rupture which preceded the Crimean war, that it is not safe to rely on the inexhaustible patience of Eng lish Ministers until it is known that their in difference is shared by the nation. Firmness is in public and private affairs often cheaper and safer than anxious timidity. EXPLORATION IX YARKA.ND. Report from the llrUlsh Expedition. From the Lahore (India) Times, Auj. 80. AVe have again received tidings from the Yarkand expedition. They were, on the 30th of last month, on the banks of the Kara-Kash river, within four days march from the lark and frontier. Since passing the Chang-Chen mountains they had met with "frightful in- convenience, being in many places unable to get water, fodder, or fuel. The Yarkandis who accompany them did not suffer inconve nience from want of fuel, which they are ac customed to provide against in the following way: When there was fuel they roasted a quantity of barley and ground it into meal, which they carried with them, At a halt where there was no fuel they made up this roasted meal into a paste, and then rolled the 1 aste into balls or small cakes, which thev managed to find palatable. The party were all in good health At the date of last des patches, and all were pulling well together, native and European. The kind of country through whioh they have made their way is best described in the words of one ef the party: "For the last fortnight we have been marching through the most infernal (that is the only name I can think of as appropriate) country imagination could picture. This is thejuaost favorable censon, too, and I shudder to think of the ifturn journey in October or November. 1 here is a scarcity of water and fuel at most camps, and of grass at all, and at some camps none of these exist. To give you an idea of what an extraordinary country it is, I may tell you that the day before yesterday we travelled for fourteen miles over a plain cov ered to many feet in depth with pure sulphate of soda, on the surface an impalpable pow der, through which the feet sink many inches at every step, and the wind raises it in clouds bo as 1 most to blind and suffocate us, and the glare of the pure white salt almost blinded those who were not provided with dark spectacles." Although all the party were in good health and spirits on arriving at the banks of the Kara Hash, Mr. Forsyth had suffered considerably at the higher elevations. The conduct of the AVazir of Ladakh had caused the party deep annoyance. It is only what every explorer experiences. In the heart of Africa, the wilds of Buruiab, the marts of China, the table lands of Thibet ay, tiuth to tell, even in our own compounds at Lahore the cunning, deceitful, obstruc tive barbarian is the same everywhere. In' the case ef Mr. Forsyth's party the AYazir of Ladakh, a creature of the Cashmere Govern ment, overwhelmed tleni with offers of assistance, obtained at last the acceptance of a certain quantity of fuel, upon which they were to depend, and, in fact, only sent for ward about a third of what was required. Did be hope to delay them, so that they should be forced to return without crossing those bare table lands, and so be unable to pioreed till next year? It is believed also that Cashmere agents had preceded the party, alaiming the Yarkandis with the intelligence that some English, with 200 Sepoys, were about to enter Yarkand territory. This may be a foretaste of the intriguing tbey may suffer from in Yarkand itself. Mr. Shaw is doing the geography of the route, and Dr. Hendersa' is busy with the scientific part. 11 is first collection of plants and birds has just reached Lahore. A drunken husband at Chic ko choked his wife tu death, the other night, while in delirium tremens. INSURANCE ASBURY LIFE INSURANCE CO. NEW 7 0XIXZ. LEMUEL BANGS, President.
