every one has arrived at the conclusion that Its action
in regard to Italy cannot be final, this tenacieue
urging of the proption originally made by Bustle, and its
avowed connexion with the future of Turkey, prove that •
change ofsavereigas has made no alteration lathe traditional
policy of the cabinet of fit Petersburg. Is its COMOURtZIO3

which it tent ita countenance than the advancement of Its
own painkiller Interests, which it hoped to promote through
the political serengements which the expulsion of the AU.
trim from Italy might be expected to lead to.
Is taking a retrospective glance at the events of the lan
half-dams years, one is struck with the fixedness of purpoeo
sad steady determination with which, in despite of all Ms.
ca is and repulses, Russia has been edranciag
towards realisation of the cherished policy of Catherine It.
The conversations of the Emperor Nicholas with Sir Hamil-
ton Seymour, if they did not discloes the fall extent to
which the designs of the Czar were pushed., at least
established the fact that no obstacles could divert the
attention of Eureka rulers from the accomplishment
of that policy. After forty years of peace, with
relources and energies renewed and multiplied, all that
Nicholas felt that he required was the consent of Ragland to
ensure It. When the Reebok government, jealously watch-
ful of its own interests in the Eater', refused to listen to the
persuasions of the Czar, it did not the leas prevent him from
making en energetic movement towards the execution of hie
Jens. He required but a pretext to enable him to act in-
pendently of England, and that wee 'Beetled by the ques-
tion raised in reference to the custody of the Holy Places.
The Eastern war is, therefore, to be regarded rather as one
eta kageenes of conatatent steps towards the fulfilment of an
sadist end well-considered policy, than u• plan originating
with Nicholas and destined to die with him..

When, after the death of the Cur, a termination was sud-
denly put to the war by France, greatly to the annoyance
and mortification of England, the world was uto
the motives by which the French Emperor was gleueld in
acting thus independently of his all The Interview at
Btuttgard between-Louis Napoleon and Alexander contributed
to mystify men's minds still more uto the nature of the
understanding which had sprang between the two monarchs.
From the feet that since that time they have acted cordially
together on all (muttons of European polloy, and that in re-
gard to the Italian campaign they enured into en agree-
ment amounting almost to an offensive and defensive alliance,
we must =dude that Alexander her been guaranteed a qviid
pro quo for the countenance which he lent to French projects
tat Italy. What the exact nature of the compensation is we
can of course only infer. It will be recollected that when the
preposition of a Carpus for Ike settlement of the Italian
question mu fled made by Russia, we stated that the court
of Bt. Petersburg made that suggestion lees In the Ut-
tered of the Italians then of its own. It was evi-
dent that the revision of the treaties of 1815 mut lead
to the reconsideration of those subsequently made, and this

unexpected termination of the war, without the Interference
of the neutral Powers, mused her, if we may judge from the
toes of bee organs, the greatest disappointment and chagrin.
