But we have here applied to the whole Empire the experiment which so signally failed in Crete, and the result will be the eame dlesatinfaction and fer- ment in every province as we have had for these Jant ten years in that island. Strange to eay, the arguments urgett in favor of the clansa are—that it provides for the representation of minorities. and that the tneqnalities complained of in the minor Councils will be emoothed down, by mutual concersion in thegeneral assemblies. ‘This would be the same as if in Engtand or In any other European country Iberate and Conservatives wero bound by law to return an equal number, of mem: ders forall Manietpal and Provincial Boards, In the hope that whatever undue weight was given ta the representation of ono party in local counclia would find ita balance in the national Parliament.

A Mussatman Depoty, Banouk Effendi Keradja, expressed a hope that in nome twenty years, when, with the progress of in- atructton, greater uniformity of opinion shall arise, it will be the to take snch proposals into consid- eration; but jut now, with the differences of crecie, of race, of temperament, nothing could be changed. — TURKISH QUADRILATERAL. RUSTCHUK, SILISTRIA, VARNA, AND AHUMLA— ‘THEI FORTIFICATIONS. New York Tribune, Of the Torkish quadrilateral, the angles are Rustchuk and Silisteia on the Dannbe, Varna on the Black Sea, and the inland fortrees of Bhumta. These arutho four principal strongholds of the ‘Tarka between the Danube and the passes fn the Batkan range. Itatill remaina an open question where the Rasrlans will attempt to cross the Dan- ube, The point where their force was firstconcen- trated was Galatz, at the northern bend of the Danube. If they cross here they will havo to march through the marshes of the Dobrudj, awhere, during the war of 1855-'4, the Turks cooped up the Russian forces forsereral months. For a week past tho Rnesians have been concentrating at Bach- arest and Uulrgevo, and the latest advices indicate that a passage will be made between Oltenitza and Glurgovo, or posseibly between the latter point and Nikopolis, When the campaign opened, there wero {many who thought that the Russlans would crosa the Danube still further west. in tho vicinity of Chernetz, and, by’ making a detour through Sorvia, descend upon Adrianople, thos avolding the passage of the mountains in the ricin- ity of Bhumla or Varna, and turning tho Tarkieh Mnee of defense on the river and in the Balkans, This tank movement might bri to Servia, and, at all events, would Invol and circultonus hase of supplics.
