WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY INEVITABLE. London, April 24.
The Emperor of Russia, in a manifesto, recalls tlie interest lie lias felt on behalf of the Christian subjects of the Porte, and his desire that the amelioration of their condition should be guaranteed. His entire reign, lie says, has testified his solicitude for peace, but two years of negociation with other Powers had failed in this through the stubborn refusal of every effectual guarantee and a refusal of the Protocol, | which expressed the unanimous views of European States. Pacific efforts having become exhausted, through the proud obstinacy of the Porte, obliges war. He was profoundly convinced of the justice of it, and placed confidence in God. This was foreseen at the time he made his Moscow speech, and now the time had arrived for independent action. Russia, invoking the blessing of God, would order her troops to cross the Turkish frontier. The circular of Gortschakoff, by seeking forcibly what Europe vainly tried to secure peaceably, would further interest Europe.
