LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 6, 1854.

The Emperor NICHOLAS, it appears, has not
only answered his " good friend"—the Imperial
Chief of 30,000,000 of Frenchmen—but has
given the signal of battle to his own subjects
through the medium of a most warlike, and, we
17.;115t add also in truth, a really blasphemous,
'roclamation. His Majesty the CZAR speaks in
h.
autograph epistle of his confidence being in
GOD and in his own Right. .13q talks, moreover,
in his manifesto, of his hitherto not having ceased
to wish, as he protests, indeed, that he still wishes,
the cessation. of bloodshed. Mark that ! His
" Right r,
and his continued wish for the " cessa-
tion of bloodshed !"
After the mission of MEN-
SCHIKOFF to Constantinople—after the passage of
the Pruth by his
SOiclierS under GORTSCHA.KOFF—.
after the attacks made
successively (though un-
successfully) upon

sanguinary conflicts in the

Caucasus, and the in-
human butchery at Sinope.
acts
of After all these
notorious
mon-
strous and aggression—open
and unprovoked aggression upon one who was
supposed to be a mush weaker neighbour—the
Russian AUTOCRAT talks now, forsooth, of his
tg Right," that is to say, of the justice of his cause,
and of his desire to bring about the " cessation
of bloodshed." Nay, after the Sinope massacre,
he talks of his confidence ill GOD ! Even more
than all this, he has the unexampled effrontery,
not to say the heinous impiety, to close his mani-
festo to the Russians with the expression of a hope
that, in the approaching struggle,
the ALMIGHTY may
assist them to approve themselves worthy of their
fathers in the last generation. Adding, somewhat
in the same profane spirit of affected piety which
some months back induced him to close a docu-
ment, which was nothing less than a tissue of
gross and wilful misstatements, with the sublime
versicle of the Royal PSALMIST—" In to DOMINE
speravi : non confundar in zeternum "—adding
here, with kindred profan;ty, this extraordinary
ejaculation ; " With this hope [that is, a hope in
