A watchful regard must now be directed to the
latest news arriving from St. Petersburgh. Upon
the nature of that intelligence everything is now
dependent in regard to the extraordinary compli-
cation of events in Christendom. It will be learnt
from that information what hope yet remains to
Lord ABERDHEN of a delay in the conflict of

first to last he has been tempted on into his present
dilemma by the timid and intriguing wiles of
Aberdeenism. He cannot readily forget that the
demands made by him upon the Sublime Porte,
the demands which ;have been latterly repelled
by the English Coalition as unjustifiable, inad-
mi3sible, and exorbitant, Were approved of in
their original form by distinguished members of
that• Coalition before they wero' placed in the hands
of Prince. MENSCHIKOFF, and before they were
'submitted by him to the Divan at Constantinople.
It is a fact now notorious. It is notorious that
this was actually the case--that these Ministers
of the British Crown, the nominees (as they are
supposed to be) of the British Parliament, com-
mitted themselves to approval of the very policy
which they are now compelled to withstand in the
name and on the authority of the collective Govern-

never, co/W(1 never, have ventured upon the course
pot) which he was therebyindueed to adventure. But
for the support amured to him in that unconsti-
tutional rnanne-c by biA sympathisers in England,
it is not in any way likely that he would so boldly
and abruptly have precipitated the long-cherished
•
desi2u of. his ambitious dynasty. Satisfied by the

complaisant bearing towards him of these most
culpable statesmen, NICHOLAS dared to realise his
dreams of aggrandisement. ParsuAded that t
pear was, indeed, ripe ; convinced that nothing
like a cordial alliance could be effected between
France and England ; satisfied of this from the
infamous abuse so long directed not only by a
certain portion of the Press, but also by two of
the leading Ministers of the Crown of England
against the thrice elected of nearly 10,000,000

of Frenchmen—the CZAR attempted one of those
daring master-strokes of policy, which are only
justified by success the most complete and
triumphant. Hence the whole difficulty. Hence
the haughty missives of the Russian. Minister
Plenipotentiary. Hence the warlike demonstra-
tion which ultimately crossed the forbidden river,
and assumed the formal occupation of the Princi-
palities. Hence the murderous onslaught upon
Sinope, and the sanguinary encounter at Oltenitza.
Step by step Russia has been lured on by Aber-
deenism into its present deplorable predica-
ment. So that the Emperor NICHOLAS found
in the December of 1853 what he never
could for a moment have contemplated in
the December of 1852, that he was compelled to
accept ;this agreeable alternative—either to plunge
into a terrible and inveterate war with (at least)
England, France, and Turkey, or to purchase
peace by such a withdrawal of demands as would
amount to a grievous humiliation. Must not this
situation of his infuriate the Ruisian AUTOCRAT,
therefore, to the very utmost degree against that
England which he must regard, and with reason,
as the author or fosterer of these enormous diffi-
culties? Outrageous as the conduct of the CZAR
has undoubtedly been during the past twelvemonth,
yet more outrageous, according to our view of
things, have unquestionably been those who nur-
tured the lawless designs of Russia from mere
designs int') the positive and enormous dilemma
already specified—nourished them first, as we
have said, by distinct approval, and then by a
protracted abstinence from an energetic course of
obstruction. Insomuch do we conceive the culpa-
bility of the latter to predominate, on a calm re-
view of past occurrences, that we regard as the
Author of this War, not ,so much the Emperor
NICHOLAS himself, as those incapable and unpa-
triotic statesmen, the Ministers of the Crown of
England, who were first his dupes, and then his
deceivers.

The truth must be spoken—however unpalat-
able. A considerable majority of our adminis-
-1 trators appear to have forgotten that they are
members of a Constitutional Government. They
have forgotton the statesman in the courtier.
They have forgotten those high principles which
have hitherto been regarded as the most inestima-
ble portion of the legacy left to their descendants by
thevictors of the "glorious" Revolution. Theyhave
forgotten, moreover, and above all, what consti-
tutes the most precious appanage of the English
Sovereignty. Death has spared a pang to the
heart of WELLINGTON. The glory of the prestige
of our might is dimmed. And we prepare for
War now, at the beginning of this new year, with
the blundering and incompetent originator of the
war still the leader of the Cabinet, and with a
sigh on our lips that the day may yet arrive when
the affairs of England may be directed no longer
by a timorous and vacillating Coalitionist, but as
once at least, of old, by—a great, large-hearted,
genial ENGLISHMAN.
