11:e Turks had not only retreated across the

ii..the Constantinople correspondent of the Consti-

Sampson, one of them carrying the flag of

ve 16th, to explore the European coast as far as
Ana • while a division of four French steamers,
Eder the command of Admiral Hamelin, was to
" a similar cruize as far as Trebizond. Letters
cred a day later (the 16th) state that the English
40t/ision, composed of the above steamers, had
th entered the Black Sea, and had gone to
Sulina mouth of the Danube, where, it was
taiti, the Russian authorities had detained a certain

4nllibts on the recall of M. de Bruck, and say

totnglish ships for Sulina, and says that it is
be considered as an armed intervention.
tit e following is from the Vienna correspondent
the Morning Chronicle, dated Nov. 24
ti;:Whatever opinions may be elsewhere entertained as
the fact that a part of the English and French fleets
it;l r!' entered the Black Sea, you may rely upon it that
khas created considerlble uneasiness in the minds of
evPle here. The latter say that this fact fills up the
theaeure of Western demonstrations against Russia to
ht „eFy brim. There can be no doubt that the Emln
p2teholas will entirely coincide in this view.
'l4 min Russian circles it is thought the foreign policy
1-11 Lords Aberdeen and Clarendon is not very popular
Englandhe ; that the present Cabinet at home is likely to
.7; In the minority when Parliament meets, and that, Fon-
clneritly' certain other members of her Majesty's Ministry
preparing for this event by urging on matters in ,
`l,l,_e Orient to a crisis. A Russian nobleman of
jultinetion told me plainly, 'lf the English want to
aye a war, depend upon it their wish shall be grafi-
qed. Russiae is put to it, she will carry on a war for
vfrenty years. You English may go and burn our sea-
Pert towns in the Black Sea, and even in the Baltic ;
t in so doing you will burn property which, to an
enormous amount, has already been paid for by English
`,14,11ita.1. You may destroy our fleets also ; and what do
4.care ? Our ships have never been of much use to
taxiii and better, perhaps, if we had never had any. Make
estittempt, and we shall see who will hold out the long-
do what you may, you will find out to your cost
jarv•Eitirope at large, and English commerce in particu-
N.ar ' bill suffer more severely by a long continental
.than Russia. The predominating influence of
144 la at Constantinople is well worth fighting for.' The
%-e nobleman added : The policy of the English
stZklnet is no longer what it used to be—that is,
th'ghtforward. A more honourable statesman than
o e3` arl of Aberdeen does not exist ; but he is goaded
111 other members of her Majesty's Ministry to acts
tich must necessarily involve a European war. If the
itt"glish Parliament were to meet at this moment, the
eaolute policy of the Cabinet would probably be con-
:lined by the majority of the representatives of the
sZti,°,tl, and Ministers would be in the minority. By
',Cuing the English and French vessels of war into
ot° Black Sea, Russian vessels of war may easily
Minto a conflict with them ; and what would be
consequence ? Nevertheless, the project of a
peace Congress at London is proposed by the
thestern Powers to Icon Emperor Nicholas. How can
te latter have any fidence in the i=partiality o
41°4 judgment of his demands on Turkey ? If it be
f°;lght that Russia will allow herself to be bullied out
h her rights, it is a grand mistake. Russia will know
i„clW to maintain her position • she will accept the chal-
'4ge whenever the Western 'Powers throw down the
gauntlet to her. The sooner therefore the Western
ot°;vers show their true colours the better. The Earl
Aberdeen will probably resign if it must come to a
thlll'opean war. Lord John Russell will try hard for
It, Premiership—that we know. But of all men, we
thtlasians would be glad, in that case, to see placed at
he head of affairs, is Lord Palmerston, for we shall
er to have to deal with the bold, resolute, and
11-.„11,1Y policy of that statesman. On the other
if Turkey be so much more vigorous, and
ess so much more vitality, than it is supposed
k: gave her credit for—well, then, what need of a
hul'opean war, and all the incalculable and horrify-
lit calamities it must entail Why not let Russia fight
h ?tit with Turkey alone ?' This, then, is the language
pe(l by one of the cleverest and most peace-loving men
‘t Russia can boast of. I thought it might be both
eful and intesesting to your readers to be made ac-
Miltedd with the outlines of this conversation. Of
'l3; these views are those of a genuine high-minded
11,13, blood
nobleman, who would shed the last life-drop of
4,„00d for his country. As such, I have attempted
44';'ufully to reproduce them ; but I abstain from all
thikadersions hereon, which would ill become me under
46 circumstances of the case. I would only add that
4tain allusions were also made to the late unimportant
Mr of the Russians at Khiva, and to the circumstance
that, that frontier of British India would be safer in the
iiolnity of a friend than of an enemy. In short, true
44slan blood is up. I see, therefore, but little chance

present for pacific endeavours in this quarter."
