We have expressed elsewhere our general satisfaction with the results

of the Reval visit, which may, we think, without exaggeration, be described as a notice to the whole world that the evil tradition that Britain and Ruissia are "natural enemies" has come to an end, and that henceforth we may look to a steady improvement in the relations between the two countries. That in itself is excellent; but still more important is the proof afforded by the meeting that France, Britain, and Russia mean to hold together to maintain the peace of the world. As long as they are determined not to quarrel among themselves, there is not much likelihood of any other Power venturing to disturb the peace of Europe.
