During the present awful interval of anxiety and suspense, relative to the fate of our army iii Gal. heis, sad relative to the thud destiny of the Sco ttish Monarchy itself, it is interesting to cast our eyes over the Continent of Europe, however lime it may afford of hope or of culisolution— yet some faint subject of corigratalstion is involun tarily derived from the escape of SII:STAPHA HA I RACTAK ; if,after all, we may venture to lend im plicit credit to intelligent'e transmitted to us front Victims, through the ssitslium of Dutch news ropers. All these mediums of inforitottion are only wires, played on by the Ruler of Europe, and of whit h he *veils himself, to dime. or to arrest and to controul, according to his interests, the human mind. Yet, as MUSTAPLIA HAMM:TA R is unques tionably adv erre to she tuaehiliatione of France and Russia, for the motif and extinction of the Ottoman Empire on this toile of the Bospho rus—mini as his escape from the seditious fury of the insorgent Janissaries is on event which must be highly displeasing to ?into:Aux, it is not probable that such s fact would be pub lished or admitted, if it were not iiithentie. Per haps there is not any foreign individual at this time. in whore personal safety and preservation we are more deeply interested, t han iu that of MUSTAIMA. The energy of his character alifords some pet:open, that, under his guidance, the Turkish Empire may yet be extricated and renovated, without passing through the crucible of Bosaestrra. and being melted down, like so many other Stales sod Mo. narchies. The new SULTAN being likewise under MUSTAPHA'A protection, and both having fouua .• refuge on board the ships in the harbour, we may Amend anticipate the eventual reduction of the mu. tinous soldiery, who, li lie the Praetorian Bands wader V sr si trs, antl under sonnitsy others of the Ciassas, involved in ram+ ge and in fauna the ancient capital of the world. So long as Bstascssa survives, we shall still look toward* Constantinople with hope. Nor is Austria altogether erased from the map of Ed rope, till Turkey sink under its . own . weak oasis, and the arts of NAPOLLON. We repeat it: the resources of the Turks. if they were sustaitied on the hood liy Austria, and on the sea by Great Bri tabs, are prodigious, and would astonish mankind. It is on the coast of tlw Black Sea that we 'must puitish A tEXA N ORR for his brow dereliction of the common cause, and for his inroads committed on the shores of the Mettle. (inland mail he man qncrcil in Ms Crimea. Why have not Ministers already turned their attentom towards this portion of Europe ? It is thew, and there only, that Russia is easily vulnerable. Winter is in itself the best protection in the litilfs of Bothnia, and of Finlaiid. But•Chisson, fer.ikow, and all the ports of the Crimea, sro assnilable at veil ry sca•on of the Rear. Accustomed as Nseiiixos has shown him self to trample on Al treaties or tillialices, he never theless eitimot, without incurring the strongest ab horrence, abandon A tismissinen, who hiss maid rested so complete s subservienee at Tilsit and at &forth. It is in the person of the Czar. that we MINK pursue awl I • Is she Freuge Usarper.-- Whatever may hue the fate of Spiiin, whether it sink wider the ittm Icr, or a tether the eicitest shall lau protracted, we I; list that our fleets and our ex ertions will ere long Le trousferred, iu part, to the Adriatic, nail to the Levitiit. There we shall find ample subjeets for our nav mid the most important 01.jects of acquisition. Au enlightened Govern raent will not despise these hints, chid', assuredly, are net made in a spirit of hostility. If the unfortunate FRED6aII: 1V111.1.1.01 should visit Petersborgh, as his letter, addressed to the inhabitants of Berlin, positively affirms ; such a journey can only be undertake.% and executed with the approbation, we awl• say with the express per mission, of BONAPAIAI E. Witillint hit *auction, the nominal Sovereign of It ussia would neither date to invite, nor to receive Ills I'itI.SSIAN .MAJTSTY. 'co obtain some relaxation of the terms jimmied upon hint, and to give in return new proofs of his deter rence or submission to his Corsican Muster, can be the only probable object of FnEnuate ‘VI lAM'S visit. ALEXANDER may render the chains of his ginner ally less severe, by representing to their av,auunu tyrant hi, devotion. CAV 1.1 NCOURT will take sufliciunt care that no treasonable or rebel lious practices tied entrance. From Prussia, as she is at present situated, we tint neither expect nor derive the least assistance. But Austria • will be finally swayed and ioupelled by events. _ If the Slasni•h struggle is prolonged, and it• the Turkish Government, after reducing the rebel lious Janissaries, Shull cuter into ugly treaties with Great Britain for innittal defence, then we may confidently expert that the Cabinet of Vienna will intake one more effort to emancipate itself: and Germany, even Saxony, may j * in that last at tempt to liberate the Continent.
