LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1855.

The Philo-Muscovites are zealous in their voca-
ion. They omit no opportunity of advancing
the cause which, for reasons best known to them-
selves, they have thought proper to advocate. In
üblic and in private they vainly strive to stem
the torrent of public indignation—most justly ex-
cited— and, substituting reckless assertion for
argument, they seem to fancy that their exagge-
rated statements will be accepted without reserve ;
nay, more, that the columns of journals de-
voted to the cause of liberty and civilization will
be thrown open to their lucubrations, insulting
and vituperating nationalities already sufficiently
outraged without subjecting them to the kicks of
these petty persecutors.

Although limited in number they make
up by a mischievous activity for their in-
significance in other respects. We take
it for granted that the Editors of other jour-
nals are exposed to annoyances similar
to that to which we have for some time been sub-
jected—that we are not exclusively singled out
for this plague, or tormented with letters opposed
to all our views and opinions, which we are coolly
requested to publish, without regard to the other
numerous claims upon our space.

We wish to inform the gentlemen who take the
trouble of thus writing to us, that our opinions
have not been lightly formed, nor shall they be
lightly altered ; and also, that while we are ready
to support our views against all legitimate criti-
cism, we cannot be expected to convert our
journal into an organ of " Germanism " or
"Muscovitism," by making it the medium of
giving publicity to slanderous, mendacious, and
totally unwarrantable assertions.
We have for a moment been tempted to insert
one or two of these extraordinary productions for
the purpose of exposing the arrogance and folly of
the writers; but there arein one and all matters that
forbid the act. For, as we have stated, they are
invariably combinations of not merely unsupport-
but absolutely unfounded, assertions, com-
bined with low scurrility and a total absence of
any generous or patriotic sentiment.

The general object seems to be the justiication
of Prussia and Austria for their despicable neu-
gravely assured is " the
trality, which we are
best position we can possibly expect or hope for ;"
while the duplicity and insincerity of the latter
Power, and its scandalous violation of its delibe-
rate and solemn undertakings, are slurred over as
matters of the most trivial importance, which
scarcely require justification. One gentleman
gravely excuses, or rather attempts to excuse,
this unwarrantable conduct, on the extraordinary
ground that " it arises wholly from the partition
of Poland, and that Russia, Prussia, and Austria
are bound irrevocably in this league, and cannot
abandon it 1" And thus, because, forsooth, they
have joined in one act of shameless robbery, they
are for ever afterwards to bo excused from paying
the slightest attention to the dictates of truth
and justice ! We have never seen a more power-
ful condemnation of this most atrocious and in-
famous proceeding, than the supposition that it
should act as a permanent and insuperable obstacle
to any retrograde movement, and for ever prevent
the political criminals from entering on a more
honourable course. That " Nulls Testigia re-
trorsum" should remain indelibly braaded3on
their shameless brows, is but a suitable
punishment for their fearful crime. It is
that which has encouraged Russia to pro-
ceed in her aggressive policy, and has thus
occasioned the severe and well-merited chas-
tisement, so soundly administered ; while
it has also caused the name of Austria and Prussia
to stink in the nostrils of all high-minded and
honourable men. Verily they have their reward,
although it is of a very different description from
what some of our would-be correspondents seem
to think.

Another ground is that "the proprietaries of
RuSsia are crying out irt all directions" at the
limitation of their commerce, and that we do not
get half as much of Russian produce as we re-
quire ! The former reason is one that will
strongly commend itself to Russian feelings ; but
why it should be taken into consideration in Eng-
land passes our comprehension. While with respect
to the latter, we shall only say, that there are
higher interests at stake than any temporary
and that to
points of convenience, a just and
