LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 8.

PRINCE BEM:MOTT, in his proclamation to the
princes and nobles of Mingrelis, Imeritia, and
Oouris, endeavour. to turn to the best account an
oversight of the Allied Powers. It is generally be-
lieved is Western Europe, and on tolerably good
grounds, that the Muscovite yoke is impatiently
borne by the mountaineers of the Canoes= But it
appears to have been rather rashly assumed, from
such inadequate data, that these mountaineers are
therefore anxious to be placed wider the government
of the Turks. The truth is, that they are equally
averse to the domination of Turkey and Ramis. The
authority of the SULTAN Wall Deter more than a
name in that oubkirt of his dominion.; and the
weakens wined by the Porte throughout the long
struggle that has been waged between it sad Russia
in these regioas, bad convinced the Caucasians that
ao protection was to be hoped from it against the
northern intruders. What the mountain tribes wish
is to be left in their rude indepeadenee, free alike
from Turk or Manovite. Their Christianity, to
which Prince Bentrroer appeals, led rather a ques-
tionable character. Remnants of Christian belief
and practice may still be traced among them, but
strangely mixed up with various superstition,
indigenes or imported. They have bat little
sympathy with " the only orthodox CZAR in
the world." But, on the other head, the
greater number of them are not Mahan-
tans, and even those who profess to be votaries of the
Prophet are by no means orthodox methanol the
&rani mot. It was a great mistake on the part of
the Allies to omit sending emissaries fa advance of
Oxen Paces's army to give Mimes to the lea-
Maamaltams, or schismatical Museelman tribes, that
the operations ef the Osmanli chief were merely di-
rested against the Russians, and implied no lathed=

usey possibly throw them into the arias of Ronde
for the rest of the war, whom a little
precaution would have gained them for allies.

In brow of the pribm of Kan hes therefore ben

part of the Allies sine the war began. It in now

vernment ; bat this will be hardly fair. If the pro-
joret of landing at a point onside of the Turkish

rebuke. It seems now to be admitted on all heads
that Oxen Pomo will have to re-embark, and next
campaign the operations of the Allies in Asia mast
be begun anew. It will theta be imposible foe the
Turks to disembark at the pint nearest to Tillie and
strike a sudden blow at that previnelal sapital. The
mountain tribes have ►sea frightened, and led to be-
lieve that the Russians are the stronger party. This
however is the least part of the Russian gain fees
