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.
