LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1864.

Everything, it will now be clearly observed,
threatens the commencement of a general war,
and that almost immediately. The indications
of this come pouring in upon us simultaneously
from St. Petersburg and from Constantinople.
There cannot any longer be an instant's doubt
that the military preparations made by the CZAR
have throughout been conducted upon a scale
of unusual magnitude, and those preparations
are still continued without pause, while
orders have been recently despatched from the
Imperial Councils of the AUTOCRAT for the speedy
passage of the Danube by the army under Prince
GORTSCHAKOFF.
Meanwhile the maritime exer-
tions of Russia have been, and are still, of an ex-
tent and continuousness quite extraordinary. Con-
siderable numbers of the Russian seamen have
been conveyed overland from the Baltic to the
Euxine, and have thus swelled the resources
already collected together in Sebastopol. Under
these circumstances, are we still to hear of the
carrying out of those craven orders by the
combined fleets under Admirals DuNDAS and
tr Bums? Are we still to hear of Russian ships
