In a few days more wc may ex pect information respecting the situa tion in the East. The lnirpoi t of the news brought by the Mariposa on the eighth was that war between Great Riilain and Russia was in evitable. The situation at the be ginning of the present month was extremely critical. Faint hopes were entertained thai, after all, it might amount only to a war of words, and that diplomacy might postpone a little longer a struggle that all the political sects of the Old "Worjd had come to view with a settled convic tion that borne day it must conic. The integrity of the Indian Empire has long been the settled policy of the British nation. All negotiations with petty Oriental soveteigntics and established powers have, for at least the last quarter of a century, been conducted with a view to the safety of her Indian possessions. Successive sovereigns in Afghanistan have been enlisted as allies of Great Britain. With the Afghan power friendly, though treacherous, guard ing the Kybcr and liolan Passes of the Himalayas, her Indian preserves were well protected from that qunrter. With Turkey in obsequious alliance and holding sway over South-eastern Europe, Asia Minor and Egypt, she is able to maintain a controlling in terest in the approaches to India from the Mediterranean. No Eu ropean power, except Russia, has, during the present century, taken any active measures to checkmate Uritish policy in the East. She has watched the consolidation of Uritish power with the "cold gray eye" of undisguised envy. The advantages to Uritish commerce and prestige of her position in the East sug gest to the Russian the immense benefit it would be to the Muscovite power if it could only reach out and grasp the rich prizes of the Orient. As regards territorial possession, Great Britain with her 8,811,000 square miles and Russia with her 8,000,000 bquarc miles ought to be very well satisfied without any fur ther acquisitions. Tho population of these vast areas numbers about one-fourth of the inhabitants of the globe. Two hundred and fifty millions own allegiance to the crown of Great Britain, and some eighty- eight millions arc under the sway of the Russian emperor. And it is at this point that wc meet the question, "What concern is it to us or any other nation whether Great Britain or Russia adds to her lands a few million square miles, or ropes in a few millions more of the world's population?" Despite the gleeful comments elicited everywhere by tho prospect of witnessing wars, battles and sieges from afar, this is the grand question in which the world's spectators ure most intense y interested. Apart from all con sideration of political alliance or uotnmcicinl rolatlons, the possible effect of nn Anglo-Itussinn wor up on civilization, progress and free dom is that dial invests the nmltor wllh all its linpoi lance. Would the extension of Hussion power be the enlargement of the area of free in stitutions, the betteting of the con dition of millions of the human family, and an increase of momen tum to the world's progress? J Or would the lessening of Biilish in lluencc in Turkey and Afghanistan and tho curtailment of her supre macy in India be the emancipation of now unwillingly dependent and subject races? The principles of the British constitution arc well known and need not be slated. Her foreign and colonial policy the past twenty live or thirty years arc before the civilized world. A glance at Russia will show what elements of beauly appear in her features to command our admiration. Her government is an unlimited monarchy ; all power, civil and ecclesiastical, is vested in the Emperor and in him alone. Tho subject knows no rights that arc not at the mercy of the monarch. His sentiments, be they political, social or religious, must be no more than the echo of his sovereign's pleas ure. A free prcss, directing and moulding public opinion, is a thing unknown for two reasons : lirst, there is no ficedom of the press, and second, there is no public opinion. Popular grievances can be aired only when they acquire sulllcicnt force to explode in dynamite bombs ; otherwise, there is but one remedy, abject submission. State affairs aro administered by a council and senate, the members of which arc the cica- turcs of the Czar. They arc honora ble and distinguished, not for their constitutional powers, but rather for the high functions they dare hot cxcicisc. A free representative of a free and intelligent electorate exists only in the dreams of the Russian patriot, and to him alone who can dream without talking in his sleep. Thcic is a quasi toleration in matters of faitli ; that is, provided the be liever has the wrong faith at the start, he is allowed to hold it fast to the end ; but if he happens to be born under the .orthodox Hag, which, according to law, is that of the Greek church, he is not per mitted, sink or swim, to get aboard any other ship. Liberty, under Russian rule, means little more than the doubtful privilege of existence under a ubiquitous system of es pionage and censorship. The much lauded emancipation, in 18G1, of 20,000,000 serfs was little more than a legal definition by which the sale of land ceased to involve the sale of the occupiers. It was left to the genius of a Russian monarch to fur nish future historians with that wonderful feat of royal clemency emancipating a nation without mak ing a bondman free. When Western Europe was emerging from medie valism, and adopting representative institutions, Pclcr the Gtcat was or ganizing a new power and arraying it in the cast-off habiliments of the defunct despotisms. Absolutism, consolidation and expansion are the watchwords of Russian progress. And for two centuries the goal of her ambition has been the posses sion of tho Mediterranean seaboard. The war with Turkey in 1C9G, the Crimean war of 1851-5, the war of 1877, and the now famous "advance on Penjdch" arc but separate acts in the gicat programme of Russian policy. After chattering British power in Ilindostan, the overthrow of British influence on the Mediterra nean would be a comparatively easy task. The consummation of her projects, is, however, as uncertain as it is undesirable. Her success would be the rolling back of the wheels of civilization. Human free dom would experience a contraction co-extensive with the expansion of her territory. In bold contrast with the result of the growth of Russia, is tho history of British acquisition. Under Gicat Britain, the conquest of baibarous races is leally their eman cipation. It is no calamity to the subjects of an African or Asiatic prince to be placed under the juris diction of the English Colonial Oflicc. The mote they lose of their national autonomy the greater is their gain in individual liberty. The three hundred million inhabitants of Ilindostan are, with respect to in dividual llbci ty, as free as tlio citi zens of Canada or the fulled Stales. The same may bo said of every Rcpaialo portion of England's vast empire. Whatever ihcro U of tolc lulion in Tuikcy, to-day, has been ginftcd on the withered old Moslem trunk by the hands of British states men. Wherever her influence is felt or her power established, the same results fellow. Individual lights, free speech, a free press, and government divested of despotism, follow in tho wake of her conquests. EDITORIAL NOTES. The London Mornimj 1'osl makes the strange assertion thai the rebel lion in Canada was fomented by Russian agents with a view to em bairassipg the Doninion authorities and preventing their troops helping England. There may be something in it, but this ceitainly looks like a fnr-fctched theory of the origin of the half bteed and Indian rising. At all events, mismanagement of Indian affairs by the Dominion Government seems to have provided inflammable material for the mischief-makers, whoever they were. Mr. J. D. Downey, ex-Governor of California, contemplates leaving for the Coast by to-morrow's steam er. It is a matter for regret, on the pail of our people, that his slay among them is so brief. His sterling qualities of head and heart win him the heartfelt friendship and esteem of all who come in contact with him. It is within his intentions to take a journey to the East after crossing the water. Mr. Downey expresses himself as delighted with the beauties of our ocean metropolis and the tro pical balmincss of this climate. It is to be hoped he may find it conven ient to give us a longer visit at some future time. peJ MISS AXXIS niONTAUi: AKD mk. ciiAitr.r.s Timxr.n. xiioGMiA.ar3t is. 1'i.inofotte Duet Marche IleioUjuc..
