We have at length received decisive intelligence
of the advance of the Austrian troops into the
Danubian Principalities on the 20th instant.
They crossed thefrontier into Wallachia, and there
is every reason to suppose that the whole corps of
occupation have ere this arrived on Turkish
ground. Two brigades had, we are told, marched
from Hermannstadt, and another brigade from
Cronstadt, with the view of occupying Bucharest,
Krajova, and Lesser Wallachia, while three more
brigades of the army of Count CORONINI are pre-
paring for a similar movement into Moldavia.
The!Rubicon has thus been passed, and, under the
sanction of the Western Powers Turkey sees that
its fair provinces, from which the invader has just
been expelled, are to be handed over to another
and no less dangerous occupant. We see but
little to choose between the avowed enemy
and the pretended friend, whether the robbery be
effected by force or fraud. If a party of burglars
had taken possession of a man's house their ex-
pulsion would occasion but little gratification if
the police were to continue therein, and prevent
him from obtaining the beneficial enjoyment of
his own property ; more especially, as from sundry
suspicious circumstances there was reason to sus-
pect the connivance of the so-called officers of

LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1854.

in Servia, Wallachia, and Moldavia, that of all
the Great Powers is to be substituted. If the
AUTOCRAT is to abandon any interference between
the SULTAN and his subjects, members of
the Greek Church, all the Christian subjects
of the Porte are to be protected by all the
great Christian Powers of Europe. If the
mouths of the Danube are to be opened freely
to "the whole world's navigation," there i
nothing to show that the channels are to remain
clear from, and unchoked by, sand, or that
Russia is to withdraw the establishments, which,
under the pretext of quarantine, she founded on
its banks and at its entrances ! If the navigation
of the Black Sea is to be relieved from any further
restriction, there is nothing to prevent the
presence of an overwhelming force at Sebastopol,
and the practical supremacy of the CZAR in that
which, although no longer a Russian Lake, will
still be under his control and management.

We fear that the movement of the Austrians
may retard, if it do not altogether prevent, our
operations against the Crimea and Sebastopol.
We hear nothing of taking possession of that rich
territory, which cught to be restored to its
ancient possessors. We hear nothing said of the
dismantling or transfer of the fortifications at
the great Naval Arsenal in the Black Sea, or the
reduction of the Russian Fleet to more moderate
dimensions. Is it the influence of Austria that
has prevented the demand ? We hear nothing
respe3ting the recognition of the independence of
the Caucasus, and the guarantee of that indepen-
dence by the Allies. Has Germanism anything
to do with the omission ? Has it even extended
its baleful influence to the vicinity of the Baltic,
and stipulated against any decisive humiliation of
the pride, or diminution of the power, of the
despot. Without these matters we can have no
security for the future, and we should be little
better than fools or madmen if we sheathed our
swords without obtaining that security—while we
should be unjust to our own over-burdened
tax-payers if we did so without receiving pay-
ment of the Ten Millions extracted from their
pockets, and of all sums that may hereafter be
levied under or by virtue of the " War Tax," the
doubled Income Tax, and the enhanced duties on
Malt, Spirits, and Sugar.
