All Europe is trembling on the brink of war. The firing of the first gun will inaugurate the fiercost struggle over known, -the result of which cannot bo foretold. On the one hand is Russia, the overgrown giant, backed by Servia, Bosnia, Montenegro and all the other Solavie nations, representing a population of one hundred millions of people. On the other stands Turkey, mani. festing unmistakable evidences of strength and determination, and supported by England, Austria and Italy, with France as a friend, and the grim eagles of Germany hover ing in the background. TIlE CASUs nELLI arises from a complication of circum stances. Ostensibly, Russia de man(ls that the Christian subjects of the Porto shall be permitted to ex ercise the right of self-government, and that the fearful atrocities comx - imitted by the Moslem fanatics upon helpless men and .women shall for ever cease. In reality Russia sighs for the goldeu gate of Constantino pie and the fertile fiolds of Turkey. The other powers are dragged no cessarily into the struggle by the almost absolute certainty that a war between Russia and Turkey, single handed, would result in the unifica tion of a hundred million Sclaves, and the establishment of an empire so powerful as to forever destroy the balance of power in Europe. Self preservation impels them to uphold the Crescent against the Cross, and to rescue the Moslem from the grasp of the Russian bear. In 1856, after the termination of the Crimean war, the TREATY OF PARIS. was signed. By this, among other things, the Black Sea was "neutral ized ;" its waters and ports wore "formally and forever closed to vessels of war," and Russia and Turkey engaged "neither to con struct nor maintain any naval or military arsenal upon its coast." In 1870, during the Franco-Prussian struggle, Russia notified the Powers of her intention to annul the stipu lations of the Treaty of Paris re lating to the Black Sea. England, Austria and Italy all remonstrated but subsequently, an agreement having been effocted between the Czar and the Sultan, Russia gained her point, and the Black Sea was do neutralized. Russia recently con tinned her aggressive movements. The principalities of Servia and Montenegro were induced to declare war against the Sultan. The Turks were victorious, but their victory was marred by such wvholosalo atroc ities that the sympathy of Europe caused them to forget the articles of the Treaty of Paris. Negotiations were opened between the Powers to effect a reconciliation betwveen Tur key and her subjects, but all efforts were unavailing. Finally, oni the 81st of March, .A PROTocoL was agreed upon. In that protocol, Turkey is treated as the ward of the Powers. They notify her that cer tains reforms must be effected, and give full warning that they them selves, or some of thor number, will resort to other measures, if the Porte fail to give its Christian sub~~ jects the rights and privileges which thie imperial deces and the brand~ new constitution guarantee them. Turkey refuses to accede to the terms proposed, claiming that the protocol violates tile Treaty of Paris which ensured tlmie sovereignty of the Porte, and asserting that a solemn engagement cannot be abolished by a protocol in which Turkey has no share. THlE coURSE OF RUssIA. Russia has not taken any official notice of Turkey's defiant vote. All correspondents from the E'uropean capitals, however, regard watr as inevitable. Tile New York HIerald's corres pondent at Vienna telegraphs that it is daily expected there that the Czar wvill issue .a manifesto declaring that Turkey's reply to the protocol is an affront to the Russian people. Prince Gortsehakoff is preparing a circular assuring the Powers that nussia. intends to make no con. quests, but is moroly bout on forcing Turkey to execute the desired re forms in the treatmient of the Ch1ris, tian subjects of the Sultan. His Majesty the Czar Alexander goes to Kisehoneff next week, the present headquarters of the Army of the Pruth. His arrival there will proba. bly bo marked by the formal decla ration of war. Of course a few days remain for peace to flutter her wings before dropping to tho earth, but there is no indication of any heavenly airs to favor her pinions. Russia, before taking the field, must observe several fornali, ties. She must nus.t address a note to the Powers, recall her embassy from Coistntinoplo and her consuls from all parts of the Turkish Em pire, and put Russian subjects in Turkey under the protection of other embassies. This will sound the general tocsin of war, and the other powers will bo dragged in speedily. Austria is resolved, if necessity demands, to localize the war by the armed occupation of Bosnia, in the north of Turkey. To that end Kaiser Francis Joseph has ordered the mobilization of five army corps. Parliament in England is discuss ing the probabilities of war, and the opposition aro making bitter attacks upon the administration for its con duct through the whole extent of the complication. Franco at first hoped to remain neutral, but it is now feared that in spite of all her desires to the contrary, she will be drawn into the vast war conflict which is now preparing on the Eu ropean stage, the curtain of which, in the nervous language of Victor Hugo, is "trembling before its rise." Germany has not spoken, but she cannot afford to have so powerful a neighbor near at hand. The belief is that Bismarck will be hostile to Russia. WHY TURIKEY IS NOT AFIRAID. The defiant attitude of Turkey is explained in private letters from Constantinople. Tho Ottomans are rendered coniidont by assurances that Poland, the Crimea, the Cau easus, Persia and even India will furnish moral and material aid against Russia in the course of the impending war. With reference to what guarantee Russia must have before dreaming ofisucess in a war against Turkey, a correspondent from fora says : "Respecting war, opinion is divided. That Russia will'evor be so rash as to attack Turkey without being sure of the neutrality of Austria and Germa ny seems to many impossible. Neither is it clear, especially after Prince Bismarck's resumption of office, how Russia can over have a firm reliance on that neutrality. On the other hand, no one supposes that Turkey will begin hostilities, so we are at a deadlock. Before tho middle or the end of May those in whose hands are for this moment the destinies of mankind-tho Czar and Prince Bismarck-can mnako up their minds. In orrdo to occupy tile Danube Russia must reckon with~ Germany. Tile way to Constanti.. nolo lies through Berlin. The present position is that if war breaks. out the result must be0 thle extension of tile Russian empire to thme Dan ube, tile Bosphorus, the Taurus MXountains and the Euphrates, and the amalgamation of $100,900,000 men of the Sclavic nation. Can Germany or any European otatd look on anld acquiesce in auch a consummation ?" Count Von Moltko in a recent con versation at tile Reichstag strongly doubted that the'Russians would gain an easy victory in the event of war, and 14e gave great praise to the efficiency of the Turkish soldiere. It is lfut natural that the optirq financial dy'stom of E~uropde is experi<, encing a severe panic,. aind thtf tl government scurities are: rapidly falling. It is muchilos 108fifUlpult to so0 tile way into tile strugglq than the way out. -tUnder 'the ji1csont' magnificent system to which the science of war has boon brought, and with all the improved appliances for destroying hfe. It can be soon that a general war now wvould be one of the most horrible calamiN ties that could possibly visit the world. And yet it seems inevitable.
