TREi BALTIC AND ITS RUSSIAN NAVAL PORTS. Now that Admiral Sir Charles Napier is with the British fleet in the Baltic, it may be interesting to know a few particulars relative to the places which may, sooner or later, become the points to which its hostile attention may be turned. We have therefore collected and corn piled from the authorities a few particulars respecting the Baltic Sea, the island of Gothland and the. Russian ports of , Cronstadt, Helsingfors and Revel, at each of which a naval fleet, or division of a fleet, is now in har bour, audit is believed will be released from the ice, about the present time. TEE BALTIC is what is termed a close sea, occupying the centre of Northern_ Europe, separating Sweden and the Danish islands from Germany, Prussia, and Russia, and extend ing from 54 deg. to 66 deg. N. lat., and from 10 deg. to 30 deg. E. lon. Its great. length and comparatively small breadth give it the form of an extensive gulf, the low and comparatively narrow tract of land which forms the southern part of the Danish peninsula of Schwles wig. The Baltic is connected with the ocean by a large gulf called the Cattegat, which separates Denmark from Norway and Sweden ; and by three Straits, the Sound, the Great Belt, and the Little Belt, which may be con sidered as three gates by which the Baltic is entered. The surface of the whole Baltic sea, according to the calculations of German geographers, is upwards of 160,000 square mi!es. The southern coast of the Baltic is low and sandy ; and the shores of the Gulf of Livonia are low and commonly sandy, though in a few places interrupted by a rocky beach. The rocky coast becomes general at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland ; and it preserves this character along this gulf and that of Bothnia, and even to the south of the latter, to the entrance of the Sound of Kolmar, which separates the Island of Oland from the continent. With the excep tion of the innermost recesses of both Gulfs, which are low and sandy, the whole of this extensive coast is rocky, though commonly low, rising in very few places to more than 50 feet. Theobasin of the Baltic is one of the most extensive in Europe, exceeded only by that of the Black Sea, and by that to no large amount. The drainage of more' than one-fifth of the surface of Europe goes to the Baltic. Perhaps in no iuhabited country in tare world such a quantity of snow falls as in the countries round the Baltic. Hence the freshness of its waters ; 31b. of water from the North Sea contains 747 grains of salt ; but the same quantity from the Baltic does not yield more than 389 grains. Its comparatively small depth may perhaps in some degree be attributed to the numerous rivers which flow into it, and of which it may be termed the estuary, ar►d the greatest part of its surface is filled up by the bars formed by rivers, which, in spring time, are exceedingly turbid, and carry down vast quantities of earthy matter. Its depth is greatest where no great nvers enter, as near the island of Thrnholin, and between it and the coast of Sweden, where it is 110 to 115 fathoms deep. while in general it only attains from 40 to 60 fathoms. To its freshness and shallowness it is to be attributed that the shores of the Baltic nearly every year are covered with ice, which, from the end of December to the beginning of April. shuts up the har bours, straits, and nap, and interrupts navigation. In the Gulfs of Finland and 13otlinia the freezing begins Boone' and ends later. In 1658 Charles X. of Sweden marched an army over both belts to the conquest of Zealand ; and in 1809 a Russian corps passed from Fin land to Sweden, over the ice, at the narrowest part of the Gulf of Bothnia. The waves of the Baltic do not rise so high as in the North Sea or the Atlantic, but they break much more abruptly. The current of the Baltic may be compared to that of a wide river or large estuary ; commencing in the remotest extremities, and its course being towards the outlets of the sea. The current (from rivers discharging into the northern part of the Gulf of Bothnia) is very rapid in the strait ; it becomes less so where the gulf eniar , es, and divides afterwards at the Aland islands into gfterent branches, which, however, again unite, and the stream is felt over the whole sur face in the central parts of the sea, until it makes its exit through the three straits, being most sensible in the Little Belt. As in most wide estuaries, when a strong wind has blown directly into the entrance for some time, it changes the current, and causes an influx of water from the open sea ; and such a temporary current is said to exist sometimes even at the entrance of the Gulf of Fin land, alter a long prevalence of north-west winds. The difficulties in the navigation of the Baltic arise partly from the narrowness of the. sea, and partly from the nu; merous sandbanks along its southern and eastern shores, where shipwrecks are more frequent than in any other part ; it being said that two per cent. of the vessels which visit the Baltic annually are lost. Besides, the harbotirs are shut up for three or four months by the ice, and thus the navigation is interrupted for nearly one-third of the year. Another disadvantage is the shallowness of the harbours on the southern coasts, and the complete want of tides, No vessel drawing 20 feet of water can enter any harbour as far as the Gulf of Finland, and must of them admit only such as draw 15 or 16 feet ; conse quently the vessels visiting these ports average only be tween 200 and 300 tons. The harbours to the north of I the Gulf of Finland are much deeper, and admit vessels of 600 tons and upwards. - TEE OATTROAT is the general passage for ships going from the North Sea into the Baltic, and a toll is here paid by wayof cour tesy, to the Crown of Denmark, which, in return, erects lighthouses and keeps them in proper repair. After pass ing Zealand, the sea spreads widely to N.E., and at last branches out into the two extensive Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland ; the latter extending 200 miles, almost due east, till within a short distance of Lake Ladoga, with a mean breadth of 70 miles. The waves of the Baltic do not swell so high ES in the ocean, but they are more dangerous and harassing to shipping, as they suc c.ed each other with greater rapidity and impetuosity ; while its small depth, amounting on an average from 15 to 20 fathoms, but in many places hardly half so much— the shallowness of the Russian shore —the rugged nature of the Swedish coasts—and the sudden and frequent changes of the wind, render this sea formidable to navi gators. The Baltic has a very perceptible current, and when the wind blows strong from the north the water becomes so fresh as to be even fit for drinking or preparinT meat. Even in the hottest summers the Baltic is cooler than any other sea. Heavy gales of wind are frequent, particularly iu the Gulf of Finland ; land it abounds likewise with roclas and shelves,: which render its navigation extremely . hazardous. More than 25) streams fibw into the Baltic. During; winter navi gation is closed ; and' as that season approaches the weather becomes 'tempestuous. 1 ,Reiel, Baltic-port, Hapsal ' Pernau, and Arensburg, are , shut up by the I • ice in November o r D e e e mber ; and are generally open in February or March. Riga is blocked up in October or November, and opens either in March or April. Narva, Cronstadt, and Frederickshamm, shut in October or November, and open in April.; but at Pe tersburg the ice frequently continues tir:n till May. The coast is rocky and dangerous, and all the Russian ports, except Revel, are inconvenient and unsafe for loading and landing goods. THE GULF OF F1,N142 , 7D. Its length is 73 leagues. Its breadth varies from 4to 20 leagues ; its depth from 50 to ''6o fathoms, in mid channel ; in the bay of CrOnstadt, it§ eastern extremity, it is only 2 fathoms. Its currents vary with the wind. It contains numerous small islands, the principal of which are Dago, at its southern entrance ; and Kotlin isle, on Which Cronstadt sfandi.' 'G(MILAND, called by the Swedes GOttland (i.e. Goodland), and not Gotaland (i.e. land of the Goths), is an island in the Baltic, extending, more than 70 mi,les in length from S. to N. ; and is about 22 miles across where widest. , Its surface is computed to be 1,118 (or 1,126 British) square miles, or somewhat less than Gloucestershire ; 'and its population in 1846' was 41,575. The coasts are low and generally unbroken ; one-fifth of the island is under Cultivation, chiefly prochicing rye and barley; it has also considerable hop plantations, and the climate is rather mild for' so high a latitude. Wisby, the capital, and the seat-of as-bishop, is situated on the western coast. and has a population of about 4,000 inhabitants. About 15 miles south of it is Kliutehamn, a good harbour, whence, on certain days; a post-boat goes to the island of Oland. On the west side, and on the east, it has har bours with depth of water for steam war-vessels. The island is, hilly on the coast, but level in the interior. Mr. Rohert Chambers recommends this island as a settle ment for British agriculturists. Ho says :—" Situated in the midst of the Baitic, extending between the 57th and 58th parallels,—the latitude of Abderdeenshire— and being one mass of limestone, nowhere rising above 180 feet above the sea, it presents a fine soil and climate, as is expressively enough- shown by the fact that the grape, walnut, and mulberry ripen in favourable sea sons, and that horses and sheep remain abroad all win ter." Mr. Laing ,remarks that " from its geographical position, it is a padlock upon the gulfs of Finland and Bothnia, which, in the hands of an effective power, could lock up the Russian navy as in a pond, and secure the free navigation of the Baltic." CRONBTADT, a town, fortress, and port in the Government of St. Peter,bure, from which city it is 47 'versts, or about 31 miles distant ; it is built at the S.E. 'extremity of Kot lin, an island in that part of the gulf of Finland, called the bay of Cronstadt, about 16 miles from the mouth of the Neva, on which river is situated St. Petersburg, the capi tal of the Emperor of Russia. This island, a bed of chalk, formerly called Retouzari by the Finlanders, is 7 miles in length and about one mile in breadth. At the en- trance of the harbour, on an island opposite the citadel, itel the castle or fortress of Kronchlott, built by Peter the Great. This fortiess and the mole bristle with guns, t.nd the harbour itself is approachable only by one chan .iel, which is fortified • with a double line of guns ; these works constituting Cronstadt "the Malta of the Baltic." The passage between this place and Cronstadt is 2,000 paces in width, and hai'ample depth for the largest ves sels. Besides its importance as the great naval station of the Russian fleet, Cronstadt is the harbour of St. Petersburg. All vessels proceeding to that port are searched here, and their cargoes sealed, and such as are too large for the shallow waters of the upper Neva un load their cargoes at Cronstadt, and transport them in smaller craft. The channel is marked by stakes the whole way, and vessels built at Petersburg are placed on a " camel " or kind of raft, by which their draught of water is lessened one-half, and then floated down the Neva, and over its bar, on which there is often only seven feet water. Cronstadt, which is built in the form of an irregular triangle, is strongly fortified on all sides. It has three harbour; lying to the south of the ttlwn. The outer, or military harbour, which is entirely surrounded by a massive and strongly fortified mole, is a rectangle, stretching out into the sea, and is capable of containing, besides smaller vessels, above 35 ships of the ' line. It is now, however, so shallow at low water, that many of the ships are obliged to anchor in the middle harbour, which is intended for the fitting-out and re pairing of vessels. It contains the slips, a powder ma gazine, a manufactory of pitch, tar, &a. The third, west, or innermost harbour, which has space for 600 merchant vessels, and runs parallel with the middle har bour, admits only merchantmen, for which there is besides an excellent roadstead, immediately outside of the port, which is defended also by the citadel, cosstructed on a rock in the middle of the sea of Kronstadt. All these harbours are well secured, but in conseguence of the freshness of the sea water, no vessel Can be Preserved in them above 20 years. They are besides detained a great part of the year by the ice in the bay of Kronstadt, which prevents vessels from entering after the end of November, or leaving before the end April, or some times even later. In 1849, the season commenced on the 15th May, and ended on the 26th November. At the beginning of that year there were 37 sailing vessels in the port which had wintered there. Vessels are re paired and built in the large canal of Peter the Great, which runs directly into the town between the middle and merchants' harbour. It is 2,160 feet long, 56 wide, and 16 deep ; the side abutments, &c., are of solid masonry, and it is filled with water by means of sluices, which is again pumped out by steam engines. It was commenced in 1721, and finished by Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great. Near it are the various docks, in which 10 ships can be repaired at once; the foundry which supplies annually 1,200 tone of bombs, balls, &c. ; the admiralty rope-work, tar-works, and ex cellent wet docks. By the new Catherine canal, com menced in 1782, which communicates witi the mer chants' port, and is 1,800 fathoms long, Government vessels are enabled to take their stores, murition, &c., directly from the storehouses, The town is very regu. larly built, and contains many fine, straight, and well paved streets, and several public squares. Ole houses, however, with the exception of those belonging to the Government, are chiefly of one storey, and built of wood. The city has three gates, and is diVided into two parts, the commandant and admiralty quarte r s sub ivided into four districts. Between quarte r s, w hich are he Peter's and Catherine canals is the old Italian palace, built by Prince Menschikoff, who took this island from the Swedes in 1703. It is at present occupied by the school for pilots, .L large establishment, where 300 pupils are educated for the naval service, and twenty for the merchant 4erviee. The Naval Hospital is a large and well-regu for off i cers o f t h e lated institution, with accommodation for 2 , 50 0 pa tients, and a separate buildings navy. Among the buildings are the admiralty, exchange, custom-house, barracks, a Protestantgymnasieln, various schools, an invalid asylum for GO female, the nobility's club, and the house of Peter the Great, where he resid e d for sometime ; but with the exception of a few old oaks, which he is said to have planted with his own hand, there are do remains of the former garden. The per manent population of Kronstadt, exclusive of the gar- ' rison, the pupils of the naval school, workmen, and sailors, is not considerable ; during the summer it amounts of 40,000 individuals, of various nations ; of these, next to the Russians, the English areniost numer ous. The inhabitants derive their chief sepport fr om the-fleet, trade, and shipping. The town presents an appearance of great activity and bustle during the summer, but in winter all is dead and stagnant. The town and port were laid out, and the buildings far ad vanced, by Peter the Great, who founded Kronstadt in 1710 ; but it did not receive its present name (the town of the crown) till 1721. At the northern extremity of the istend are Fort Alexander and the battery . of St. John ; the latter is built on piles in the Neva" HELSINGFOE. is the capital of the Russian government of Finland, at the mouth of the Warma, in 60° 10 N. latitude, and 25° 0' 15" E. longitude. It has now about 12,000 in habitants, and a considerable export trade i n corn, fish, iron and deals ; and important m anufactures of sail cloth, sacking, and linen. The town was built by Gus tavus I. of, Sweden, and burnt in the Russian war in 1728. The fine harbour is defended by several forts, es pecially the strong fortress of Sweaborg , Which is built on three islands. Finland having been taken by the RuSsians in 1808, and ceded to them at the peace, in 1809, no pains have been spared by them to render Iles lingfors an important naval station. The fortifications mount 300 cannon, and contain barracks and casements for a garrison of 12,000 men. Since 1815, a plan for en larging the town has been carried into effect. Masses of rocks have been blown up, and inequalities levelled, in order to obtain a site for the new.buildings. Among the public edifices, the most remarkable are the palace of the Governor, and the barracks, a nd likewis e th e mag nificent building for assemblies, on the esplanade, which was finished in 1833. After the destructive fire at Abe, the university, called Alexander's 'University, was trans ferred by a ukase of 21st December, 1827, to nelsinfors. It is divided into four faculties, with 22 professors, and has a library of 40,000 volumes, and botanical garden. There were 491 students in 1851. REVEL, the capital of the Russian Government of Esthonia, is situated on the Gulf of Finland. It is very strongly fortified, and in 1824 the harbour was made capable of receiving the Russian Baltic fleet. The best part of the city is that called the Dom, a distinct portion, on the west side •f the city, and commanding an extensive view of the sea. Most of the houses of the nobility are in this part. There are in all about 1,900 houses and 15,000 inhabitants, a large portion of whore are Ger mans. There are numerous public and private schools, a gymnasium founded by Gustavus Adolphus in 1631, a naval and military hospital, &c. The manufactures are cotton goods, hats, stockings, leather, gunpowder, starch, needles, earthenware, looking glasses, &c. There is also a cannon and bell foundry. Revel has a very con siderable trade, which is chiefly in the hands of opulent German houses. About 100 merchantme n annually arrive. in the course of the season, and' leave before the winter sets in. CONSTANTINOPLE.— This city, the capital of the Turkish empire, stands upon seven hills, which gives it the aspect of the largest city in the world. It is built in a triangular form at the extremity of the Bosphorus, where it joins the sea of Marmora. There is a treble line of walls round the city, of about eight miles in cir cumference, flanked by a double row of houses. Con stantinople contains 12 imperial mosques, 350 ordinary mosques, 30 markets, more than 300 fountains; and 100,000 houses. The population is about 600,000. The imperial residence may be said to form a city within a city, the walls being three miles in circumference, with 12 gates, and the number of the residents is between 6000 and 7000. The marine arsenal is a fine establish ment, built upon the northern bank of the harbour. The naval arsenal is near the quay, close to which the Turk ish men of war are moored. A large and magnificent barrack for sailors is built near the dockyard, in which are large basins for the repair of ships. At Tophana is the barack for the cannoneers, and at Scutari, on the opposite or Asiatic coast, is an extensive pile of barracks capable of accommodating 10,000 troops. The harbour, or Golden Horn, of Consta n ti nop l e , i s a qu i et an d sa f e anchorage of th e length of 4,000 fathoms, and the breadth of 3,000 fathoms. Its depth is.ao great that the largest ships of the line approaching the two bank s can a l mos t touch the houses. Th e c it y is surrounded by a girdle of natural fortifications, and bet position enables her to become the first naval and military point in the world. Two sides of the triangular promontory on which she stands are washed by deep waters, and she is assailable on one side only. THE BoSPHORUS.—This is the narrow canal which connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmora, and through which the rapid current continually flows out ward thiqugh the Dardanelles ; its average breadth is froth. half a mile t o t wo m il es , an d it flows between two chains of parallel hills. The stream is fifteen to twenty fathoms (120 feet) deep, without any shallo as, and there are some excellent harbours on either side of the stream, particularly at Buyukdere, which would serve as an anchorage for a large fleet. The canal is defended near its opening into the Black Sea by two castles, called the Queens of Europe and Asia ; they are each mounted with 34 heavy guns, and command the entrance to the straits, which are aboht 25 miles in length to their western or Constantinople termination. Where the oanal begins to narrow itself at a short distance from the castles we have mentioned, two new castles were con structed by the Baron de Sott ; they are only a thousand yards distance from each other, across a strait, and by their position they can command any vessel. At nearly equal distances along either shore are other batteries in termixed with the old castles of the canal. Some of them are en flute, others at an elevation of ten or twelve yards, and towards the Buyukdere roads . several prin cipal batteries have recently been erected to prevent a hostile squadron anchoring there, provided they could pass the defensive works of the Black Sea. Most of the batteries are supplied with mortars for firing red hot balls and other shot, and some of the guns are of enor mous calibre for throwing stone or marble shot. It has been said that if properly defended, these fortifications would defy all the fleets in the world. The length of the Bosphorus is about twenty miles, and its currents are very remarkable, one running directly contrary to the other ; one of these is found at some depth below the other, and on this account the, navigation is extremely difficult. Talc Br,AcK SEA.—The Euxine measures almost 720 miles in its greatest length from the coast of Roumelia to the, mouth of the Phasis, and nearly 400 in breadth from Odessa to Cape Bata. It is generally enveloped in dense fogs, which cause the navigation to be very dan gerous ; and it is singular that althotigh nine large and thirty small rivers discharge themselves into the Black Sea, its only known outlet is through the Bosphorus. It is conjectured that there must be some subterranean outlet for the vast body of water that feeds the Euxine, the strait by which it is apparently emptied being only equal to one of the four mouths of the Danube. After leaving the Bosphorus, and proceeding westward, the Sea of Marmora is reached, which is about 120 miles long, and thirty or forty broad. THE DARDANELLES. —At the other extremity of the sea of Marmora, and leading into the Mediterranean, is the celebrated passage called the Dardanelles. The strait is about 50 miles in length, and from one to four miles in breadth. It is, of course, the key of Constan tinople and the Bosphorus as regards Western Europe, and is consequently strongly fortified. It was over this strait, at Abydos, that the vast armies of Xerxes passed to invade Europe, on a bridge of boats, and it also formed the bridge over which the Turkish armies poured their numerous hordes from Asia into the west. The story of Hero and Leander has also given an enduring celebrity to the strait of the Hellespont. The western entrance, which is nearly five miles broad, is defended by two castles, built upwards of two centuries ago, one on the European an d th e o th er on th e A s i at i c side, and called respectively the old castles of Europe and Asia. The latter stands, upon flat, ground, near the side of ancient Troy.... Olis-of-Aksisehoastlea mounts SO and other 74 guns. The batteries are of enormous strength, and mounted with immense guns, carrying stone or marble shot, which, if properly directed, must sink any vessel attempting to force a passage. In 1807 Sir John Duckworth, in command of a British naval force, hav ing failed in inducing the Porte to come to terms, al though he threatened to attack the city of Constanti nople, finding the Turks making very extensive prepa rations, set sail for the Dardanelles, amidst the shouts and rejoicings of the Musselmans. They met with a warm reception from the batteries of the castles, which fired upon them immense balls of granite and marble. One of them, weighing 80011)3., cut the mainmast of the Windsor Castle, first-rate man of war, in two and it was with great difficulty and exertion that the ship was saved from destruction. Another struck the Standard, 74 gun ship, penetrated her poop, and carried away everything before it. The shock was so great against the mainmast as .to shiver it in pieces —it fired some powder barrels, which blew up with a tremendous ex plosion, destroying pertions of the upper deck and up wards of 60 men. All the corvettes were lost. In ad dition to the old castles there are also the new castles of the Dardanelles, and along the whole entrance of the strait on either side, for a distance of 10 or 12 miles, there are a series of batteries and forts mounting heavy guns, mortars, and stone shot, up to the castle of Sul tanieh Kalessi, which mounts 100 heavy guns in two tiers. ' Such are the defences of Constantinople on the European side. THE DANIIBE.—This may be called the prince of European rivers, as, with one exception—the Volga—it is the largest in Europe. Its length is between 1,500 and 1,700 miles, and carries off the waters of nearly 250,000 square miles of country. At about 100 miles from its source it begins to be navigable; at Vienna it flows in a broad channel, and there forms an immense number of islands. Between Buda and Belgrade the Danube is so broad and deep that men of war can navi gate the stream, and here naval engagements have taken place between the Christians and the Turks. Between GiurgevO and Rustchuk on the opposite bank it is two miles broad. At 'the fortress of New Orsova, near its entrance into Wallachia, is the Iron Gate, so' called from the high and precipitous banks within which the stream is confined. Twenty miles lower down are the ruins of Trajan's Bridge. This was formerly a most magnificent structure. It was 60 feet broad, and con . - tained 20 arches, of 170 feet span- each, at a height of 150 feet above the level of the stream. , It was destroyed by Adrian, Trajan's successor, lest the barbarians in th e north should, by means o f it, facilitate their progress to the Roman provinces in the south of the stream. About 30 miles above Ismail, near the mouth of the Danube, was another bridge, over which Hystaspes pursued the flying Scythians, but all vestiges of this have also dis appeared. The whole line of the Danube, from Servia to its mouth, now bristles with forts and fortresses, all of which have been recently put into a state of efficiency while many new ones have been added. THE DOBRUDIA. The Russians having been defeated in all their attempts to cross the Danube at Kalafat-Lthe extreme right of their position in Wallachia—seem to have fallen upon another and far less ambitious line of operations, and have crossed the stream at the extreme left ; apparently with out any very serious opposition. Omer Paella lets them into the Dobrudja to all appearance willingly enough. Why ? Is it that he believes the step to be one rather of withdrawal than advanee—ras argued by a writer whose views are given in another column—or because he thinks opposition in vain? Or because he thinks the Russians may be more readily dealt with on the new ground thus taken than on the old ? Which of these reasons have weighed with the Turkish commander time alone can show ; but it being clear that the Russians have chosen the Dobrudja for their first station on the Turkish side of the Danube, we may well inquire what is to become of them there? For ten hours steaming above the Sa lina quarantine station, there is scarcely a human abode to be seen, except on the river bank. At the driest season the wide swamps scarcely afford a footing for the sportsman who goes after the waterfowl. The gulls are as much at home there as on the neighbouring sea. In the winter, under a strong easterly wind, there are ac tual wrecks, when the waters come surging over the land, knocking the trading craft of the Danube to pieces among the reeds. There are no risin ctgrounds to encounter; for the whole district is as flat as the periodical subsidence of water can make it. Besides the mouths of the Danube, there are countless in termediateand branching channels, and lakes, and ponds, all bordered by shaking bogs. The whole region within that bend of the Danube is as deso late and uninhabitable as the Dead Sea Valley—with cold mists instead of hot glare, no more resources, a much.worse footing, and a liability to an infinity of diseases. It is incomprehensible how artillery call tra verse the soil, or how the heavy Russian soldiery can march, or where they can rest, and, above- all, wh ere they mean to go. It is often said that the Dobrudj a i s probably much tn the same state that it was wh en Tra jan Wilt his wall from river to sea; but there i s reason to believe that it has much} deteriorated The l as t re mains of old villages,, bidden among ruslics and long grass, so that the lerds 7 inan stumbles over ,theth, are , signs of habitation, once.praeticabl e , bat do lunge's so . ; and, indeed, it seems as if Tl:aja n nee d ; h ardly have troubled him Sell to build that wall, if the place Lad then been in its present condition. In the summer it admits of the grazing of scattered herds ; and a group of 10, or 20, or 50 vultures may show where a horse or a bullock has met its death. But how an army already incum bered and weakened with fever, ague, and cholera can traverse that space in warlike trim is inconceivable. Hence, probably, the reason why the crossing was so nearly unresisted. The place is anything but silent-- for there is no silence where the waterfowl so abound ; and the herdsmen's dogs, and in the best weather of the year, the bleat of the sheep, and the din of a multitude of singing birds in the scrub, relieve the silence which broods in places too desolate for human habitation ; but there are no paved roads, as in Roman times, to echo to the tramp of horses and men. Which way can the Russians mean to turn ? If they turn to the left they may soon find dry ground, for the coast rises in the direction of Varna. But they have no supp ort f rom the sea, which is, we hope, by this time at all events, well guarded by our ships. There seems to be no object for the Russians to gain on the coast, but much for them to lose. If they turn to the right, there is the Danube, with its thousand ditches, and a clay-built village here and there, but nothing that can be held as a fulcrum for further movements. Before them is the old Roman wall, running right across from Rassova to the coast. The rising ground on which the wall was built seems to be the only reason for the exist ence of the district at all, for the Danube,_ sweeping eastward at that point, would cut across to the sea but for those hills. They are mere rising grounds, with hollows between ; and along their elope, and now sink ing and now rising, runs that green fence—as the old barrier may be called—at this day. Once twelve feet high, and faced with stone, it was a real bulwark • and even now, with the stone gone, and the ridge broken, it might afford some advantage for defence, if it had been thought necessary, But there are better defences. There is Silistria, place pretty well knosven •to the Russians,. seeing that 50,000 of their ,treePs;*Ore nine months in taking it, when its garrison consisted of only 12,000 Turks, in /829. It is understood to he no* in the finest order ; and whether the Russians mean to pass or to invest it, their prospects seem almost equally desperate —seeing how their rear is open both from the sea and the river. If they press forwards, they have Silistria also behind them, with Varna and Schumla in front, to say nothing of other fine fortifications on the slope of the Balkan. In sober truth, we cannot make out the movement to be consistent with any other idea than that of withdrawal from the extreme right of the position the Russians have hitherto held; in other words, that it is a step rather of withdrawal than advance. Where is the mistake ? Supposing the news to be true, are the Russians as mad as their master?? Or have the Turks been unaccountably remiss about thii swampy region, while setting a sufficient guard everywhere else ? Or is the Danube really so effectually closed that we cannot get into it ? If it is done by filling up the channel, the effect will tell in two ways ; the allies may be kept out, but the inundations will follow the marching host. At its best depth, the channels of the Danube are insuf ficient for the carrying away of the waters of the 120 rivers that are its tributaries. Those rivers bring down the melted snows of whole ranges of mountains in April and May; and if the natural outlets, never sufficient to obviate floods, are now choked up to keep out our bOats —why, the Russians will hardly get back dry shod. The Germans have a joke against the Viennese : they tell how a wealthy cockney of the Austrian capital, on a visit to the Black Forest, undertook to astonish the friends he had left behind him. He put on his large boots, and stood in the rill which is the source o f the b Danube— ef fectually damming it up. He called his companions to come and see, exclaiming "How they w ill s t are a t Vi enna , when the Danube runs dry !' Unless the Czar has se cured some such coadjutor in the Black Forest, we cer tainly think that damming up the other end of the Danube is the way to astonish the nations—by drown ing them ; and this Russian host in the first instance. Whether the mouths are open or closed, we do not envy the armies in the Dobrudja their position. Now they are there, the thing to be done is to make it a trap. We shall soon hear how quickly the allied forces can arrive. It is inconceivable that the Russians can make much progress meantime ; and, as to doing mischief, there is none to do in the swamps but to stretch out a few poor herdsmen's or villagers' corpses for the Black Sea eagles to feed upon. Above Silistria the Danube is well guarded. If it has not been so hitherto below Sills tria,, from over -confidence in its desolation, that is the thing to be looked to now. That done, and the Rus sians halted an y w h ere w i t hi n t h e triangle formed by the fortresses of Silistria, Schumla, and Varna, their appa rent fate is to be pushed over the cliffs into the sea. Time will show whether we are wrong, and where , but it certainly appears as if the Russians had chosen, out of all possible traps, the one into which their enemies would most wish to drive them. We hope we shall not find that it is done in reliance on the unreadiness of our naval force. If our naval force deserved such a practi cal sneer, we should expect to see our whole nation volunteering to go and push the horse and his rider, and all the host of the hard Pharaoh of our day, into the Black §ea,—.-Paily Xews. FRANCE AND ENGLAND. ( From the Examiner. ) " Now be there 'twixt your kingdoms such a 'spousal, That never may ill office, or fell jealousy, Which troubles oft the bed of blessed marriage, Thrust in between the paction of these kingdoms, To make divorce of their incorporate league ; That English may as French, French Englishmen, Receive each other ! . . . And this dear conjunction Plant neighbourhood and Christian-like accord In their sweet bosom, that never war advance His bleeding sword 'twixt England and fair France." SHAKESPEARE. France and England have at last declared war against Russia. They are allies and confederates in a just and unselfish cause. The French Emperor prays for victory to the English flag ; the English Queen prays for the glory of France, and will grieve over every drop of French blood spent to purchase it. While such are now the feelings of the rulers of France and England, what are those of the French and English people towards each other ? They also are beating in unison. To the same chord are now vibrating the hearts in the valley of the Seine and the Thames, the Rhone, the Mersey, and the Loire, the Severn. Their bosoms are one. The two peoples—the French and English people—the rivals of centuries, are no longer enemies ; and before this aus picious fact, 'pledges of rulers, treaties between govern ments, proceedings in the houses, negotiations with Austria and Prussia, however important, are as trifles. The wives and daughters of England and France are now—in their daily prayers to heaven for husbands, brothers, and lovers mustering in defence of justice and honour—alike petitioning in common for glory to the same banners, victory to the same cause. This is indeed ; unrol the history of 500 years, and where is the fact to match it ? No reflecting French or Englishman can doubt that the great interests of civilisation and of humanity de mand that the alliance which has thus suddenly sprung up between England and France should not be made ner maneut. We see and feel that it should be permitted to dissolve—that its maintenance is a paramount duty which the two countries owe to the world,—and that they. re consequently bound to make the sacrifice of every separate interest in order to consolidate and pre serve it. Very gr ea t i n d ee d such separate interests must be to compensate . England and France for the loss in the present emergency of the certain assistance of Sweden and Denmark, as it is clear that the incalculable benefit of their co-operation against Russia can only bo secured by convincing those Powers that for the future England and France will he, politically, one. Nothing less than that certainty can decide Sweden and Denmark to brave the future vengeance of the Czar ; and with it, they will immediately, assisted by our fleets, shut the door of the Baltic upon Russia, and save at once both England an:l France torrents of blood and tons of gold—the widow s scalding tear and the orphan's heavy loss. Such would be the immediate fruits of our alliance if the two n ations resolVe to make it 'perpetual. It is therefore a duty which they ow e qu ite a s muc h t o th e i r own interests as to those of mankind 'at large, now to form this permanent alliance, and to make such an agreement as tot' e for gener al line of policy which each will respectively pursue the time to come, as shall obviate all causes of future national dissension. What then may each have to_ resign— w h at sacrifices to make—for this grand an d useful purpose's Whatever they may b e , they must .be looked f or either in the resignation some territ or i a l ex pectancies which each nat ion indul ges o f the other, o r ain natureseme points in which to lessen the security of their ma terial, or s oc i a l , or coin niercial interests shall be found to clash. Assuming .for a moment that France covets Belgium and Savoy, and that E ng land covets Egypt, Majorca, and Minorca, is it possible —were each to succeed in attain ing these objects at the cost of wars more fearful than a ny we have yet experienced —t o put the precarious benefits they would derive from realising such hopes, in balance with the cert a i n permanent good they would mutually derive from now renouncing the& ? No doubt can exist as to the answer to this question. It ie only to strengthen her against Austria and Prussia that France can really want either Belgium or Savoy, and they, as they now are, must side with France if she Possesses the alliance of England. Then as to the Spanish isles, they can be of no use to England if she possesses the alliance of France ; nor could England derive more substantive advantage from the territorial possession of Egypt than she already obtains while it continues as it is. France and England, then, in aban- donine.' these and other similar territori a l hop e s, will either be giying up what is merely a new form of objects they already enjoy and must continue to enjoy substan tively, or objects whose usefulness entirely ceases the very moment they become allies and are no longer on guard against each.other. In examining the points in which we might loOk for opposition between the material cornmermalcor social interests of England and France, we have been unable to discover any object which eitber ; nation ,can 'honestly desire. in these respects, that will not equally. benefit both when attained. - • The French wish to:colonise Northern Africa.

In searching for real and substantive obstacles, founded in the relative conditions according to which the two countries respectively exist, to the institution of a strict, an intimate, a brotherly, and, above all, a permanent alliance, for better for worse, between . them, we really can find none. The obstacles are considerable,. neveri theless, though not substantive: They are obstacles of the imagination, and no oth er . Th ey res id e i n,pre j udicea, in tradition jealouslies, surviving the causes originating them which have altogether burnt out and become ex/. tinct. The great unreflecting mass in each country- 7 • more, perhaps, in France than in England—has immemo rially b e li eve d that the English and the French are na tural enemies, like clogs and cats ; that they can never trust each other ; and they will feel surprised and half shocked by the serious announcement of the scheme of nal intimate and permanent alliance. Owing to tradi• tional habits and historical antecedents, they are morally incapacitated from believing in the possibility of such a thing being brought about—they are practically mere. dulous that such a result can ever be. In this alone resides the obstacle to the attainment of this vast blessing to humanity and to themselves, and if the statesmen of the two countries will now raise their conception to the contemplation of this glorious object, they may easily turn to the profit of both, and to the everlasting benefit of mankind, the present fortu. nate conjuncture which approximates them, which the good and wise have ever hoped for, and for which the brutality of a perfidious - tyrant has supplied the occasion. So far from being natural enemies, there are no two countries in the whole world—not even the United States and England—which are such natural friends as Franca and England ; which, in the difference of their respective moral and material wants, have such mutual necessity for each other ; and which would agree together so well, if they . could but for a moment forget the past and look to the future alone. In respect of locomotion their vicinity makes them really one nation. From Lon don it is quite as easy, and,speedy, to go to Paris as to Glasgow ; from Paris you will reach London as quickly as Strasbourg ; and then there is just that difference be tween the characters, the manners, the ways of the two nations, that were a general good feeling to replace ancient aversi o n s , it wou ld endear themto one another. The variety thaLlana-through their social,•4kite anfiz-L- ,::- --- i._ - _. custo ms just rea,chee - thait ' happy . poiriltiVhiefi - Ziatles each party good-humouredly to laugh at the other with out arty wound to self-love. This is an important ele ment in the groundwork of all friendly society. It does not exist between the English and Americans, because they resemble each other much more strongly ; but you may laugh at a F renchman ' s blunders without his thereby suspecting that you mean to arrogate any superiority, and lie will laugh a s heartily as yourself. And he may do the same to you—and indeed does so all day long— and who ever felt hurt at it ? Then how delightful it is to an Englishman to be talked to by an amiable Frenchman, though maybe it is all about nothing --their gaiety is as a ray of sunshine on the gloom of life. And what a beauti ful picture of their sterling amiability did we not b e h o ld in the demeanour throughout of those excellent men who brought over their rarities to our national Exhibition ! what a delightful insight we got on that occasion into the domestic manners and virtues of their middle class, as we beheld the assistance and comfort and pleasure they were receiving from their wives, and sisters, and daughters—models, as are the French bourgeoises throughout, of useful domestic activity, industry, amia bility, and grace. And who were more pleased on that occasion than our old enemies, with the frank and honest good-nature, the hearty moral shake of the hand, of their English hosts ? And where is it, we should like to learn, that the English in France, and they are settled about over its whole surface, arc disliked or disrespected? How placable and amiable are the French after a quar rel ! how generous and uninnlignant the English ! In short, there is just that difference in all their ways and habits that kindles sympathy and gives it piquancy, in stead of extinguishing or deadening it, And now the vast interests of civilisation imperiously call upon these two great nations—the ornaments of the world, the aristocrats of humanity—to unite and be friends, to be one for ever, ideas velle atque nolle. We have the same interests to protect, and against the very same enemies. These interests, as far as they are honest on each side, must for the fu ture always be the same, and our common enemy must always be the enemy of both of us alike. He will always aim at subjugating Turkey, Sweden, and Den mark, and, by making himself supreme thereby in the Mediterranean and the Baltic, equally repress French and English civilisation and commerce. In the nature of things what firmer foundation for everlasting alliance can be offered by Providence than is now graciously vouchsafed to France and England ? We say, therefore, to both—Rejoice and give thanks ; you are going to peace and not to war ; fUrget, forgive, shake hands, and be friends for ever, for the common enemy threatens you both alike, and if you neglect this opportunity, it is not probable you will ever have such another. It is only the permanency of your alliance that can decide Sweden and Denmark. Proclaim it permanent ; and, what is more important by far, convince the world, by abandoning mutual suspicions, and cultivating mutual sympathies, that your alliance, founded in international good will, cemented by international respect and confi dence, is permanent in its own nature, and wholly independent of changes either in the personnel or form of Government. Such a condition—an alliance of kirtd feeling between the two peoples—will be a - pledge more solid than any proclamation ; and must satisfy Sweden and Denmark that they may securely rely for all time to come upon your joint protection against their fearful neighbour, ever ready to devour them. The instant you convince them of this, they will joyfully, with your help, close the outlet of the Baltic on Russia —imprison her always—and spare you now the terrible sacrifices of blood and treasure you must otherwise make, and make to no permanent profit, because ten or twenty years hence you will again incur the same danger, and may not then be able to ward it off. The French and English statesmen, weakly (as it seems to us) bent on securing, at almost any cost, the co-operation of Austria and Prussia, have been too • evidently prepared for that object to foreg o a great part of the benefit to Europ e w hi c h they might now extort from the common enemy. Yet such co-operation would be positively detrimental if purchased at the price of our abstaining from compelling Russia to disgorge that ter ritorial plunder of her weaker neighbours—the deadly cause of her now embroiling the world--which, we trust, it is the firm resolve of France and England that she shall disgorge. • France and England, in earnest, and with the sword uplifted, are powerful enough for every purpose ; and the only allies they require are Sweden and Denmark. Even if Austria and Prussia should unite with Russia, the immediate consequence infallibly must be that the alliance between France and England would be thereby, and cx necessitate, made perpetual, and the proximOe consequences would be the destruction of those perfidious despotisms--the overthrow of Russia—and the elevation of Sweden and Denmark to that station in the scale of European power which it is so very desirable for Eng land.and France they should possess. THE DECLARAT.WN. (Froim the Derbyshire Courier.) Her Majesty's declaration of war will be read with intense interest throughout the world. It contains a very intelligible and succinct detail of the circumstances which have compelled us to go to war with Russia. It will appear to the satisfaction of every one who affords the most common attention to the recapitulation of the .transactions relative to the Eastern question that-the, quarrel has been one which Russia has sought.' ' The conflicting claims of the Greek and • Latin the pret e x t for the com mencement of the misnn derstanding with Turkey. B Churches, relative to the Holy Places a t J erusa l em, formed i n t o ivention of our A mbassador at Constan tinople y the tis..app appeared to b e sat i sfactorily arranged. .But t ießussian Government then pressed upon the Porte demands which; under the pretence of affording protec tion to the Christians in Turkey, would in effect have d e prived the Sultan of all independent control over m any millions of his own Christian sutjects. Next followed the occupation of the Danubian Prin cipalities by the Russian armies. The occupation has most audaciously been repre seated by the Emperor to have been consequent on the advance of the Enrrlish and F renc h fl ee t s to t h e Dar danelles. Her Majesty's Declaration proves, by the dates of the despatches, that this ; " - determination of the Emperor to occupy the Principalities was takeh before the orders for the advance of the combined squadrons was given:' Various attempts have since been made to meet any eqpitable demands which Russia could possible have on Turkey. The Sultan'lts 'acted with fairness, modera tion, and forbearance ; and every means consistent with the honour of the allied powers, and the independence of the Ottoman empire, has been used to e ff ec t an .ami cable understanding littWeen the contending parties. Even -the declaration of war by the Sultan in self-defence • did not check the pacific intentions of the allied powers. Every honourable endeavour to restore peace having, however, failed, it is evident that we are driven by every 'principle of justice ',and expediency, "to save Europe from the preponderance of a power which has violated the faith of treaties, - and defies the opinion of the civilised world, to take up arms, in conjunction with thalini peror of the French, for the defence of the Sultan. In fact, the "Secret Corr e spo n d ence " so re cently made public, taken in conju nc ti on wi th th e public ayings and doings of the Czar, proves beyond a doubt that from th e beginning of this quarrel the partition of Turkey w as the object of the aggressive policy of Russia. It was natural that men of honourable minds should be slow t o believe that the Emperor intended to act in defiance of his most solemn and reiterated assurances.
