LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1853.

Whatever be the result of this Eastern diffi-
culty, by which the public opinion of Western
Europe has recently been so much disturbed, it
behoves France and England to look henceforth
with peculiar jealousy upon the course pursued in
reference to Turkey by the Russian EMPEROR'S
Government. We speak thus advisedly. We
assert that the policy of the Cabinet of St. Peters-
burgh must in future be watched with distrust by
the Cabinets of Paris and London. And we
proclaim such to be our conviction at this par-
ticular moment, ' because we observe, on the
part of the AUTOCRAT, a blustering indication
of his readiness--now that he sees the impractica-
bility of the scheme based upon the duplicity of
his lawless ambition—to consent to some amicable
arrangement. Our anticipations to this effect are
being already fulfilled. The CZAR recognises the
impossibility of encroaching just yet upon the
dominions of the SULTAN, without rousing in war-
like concert the opposition of France and England
—the arbiters of the destinies of Christendom.
He perceives that, for the time being, it is alto-
gether chimerical to dream of conducting his
Cossacks to Constantinople. He knows perfectly
well, that by land his army would have to
break through the tremendous barrier of the
patriotic forces keeping the heights of the Balkan
mountains. He is perfectly aware that by sea his
fleets would find themselves opposed by the mari-
time armaments not alone of the SULTAN, but of
the English QUEEN and the French EMPEROR in
like manner, supposing that is to say that the
war-ships of the CZAR had the extravagant teme-
rity (which is incredible) to advance, under ex-
isting circumstances, from Sebastopol to the
Bosphorus. The Emperor NICHOLAS is con-
scious of all these formidable obstacles to the
carrying out of his project; and, already, conse-
quently, he evinces a willingness to consent to an
amicable settlement. Not, however, without
some blustering show of his pride, his strength,
and his indignation ! Hence we are warned that
the passage of the Pruth will be effected, and
that his troops will occupy for a while the whole
or part of the Danubian principalities. Immediately
news of this movement' having been effected has
come to the knowledge of the Western Powers, the
French and English Fleets will hasten through the
Dardanelles, and take up their position in the
waters of Constantinople. Circumstances are dif-
ferent uow from what they were in 1828, or from
what they were yet later in 1848, and the Courts
of St. James's 'and the Tuileries cannot be re-
garded as precisely in a mood to look upon the
occupation of the Danubian provinces as a measure
merely of self defence on the part of the Russian
Government. Indeed it has been declared not
long ago, that directly information of that proceed-
ing reaches Paris, 30,000 French soldiers are at
once to be embarked for Constantinople. Whether
this be the intention or not of the Emperor
NAPOLEON, it is at any rate certain that the march
of the Russian troops across the frontiers will be
viewed by France and England as an open decla•
ration of war against Turkey and her allies,
Therefore, we repeat, so soon as the Cossacks sha

have crossed the Pruth, so soon will the Frenc

and British fleets pass up the channel of the Dar-
danelles. Ultimately, no doubt, all existing
difficulties will be smoothed away, for it
is absurd to suppose that the CZAR will
venture to struggle single-handed against the rest
of the great Powers of Europe. He will bluster

a little more first, and then consent to a compro-
mise. According, indeed, to the Gazette des Pastes,
at Frankfort, he has already accepted the media-
tion proferred to himself and the Sublime Porte by
the Austrian Government. " It's an ill wind," (t c.
—we all know the old proverb, but that old pro-
verb may here be reiterated, we believe, with

some propriety, seeing that it has, in the Eastern
Question, the advantage of a new illustration. The
ill wind referred to inthe present instance—a bitter
East wind as we doubt not has been discovered
long since by JOHN JARNDYcz, if he be anything
of a politician—has blown to us one good at least
—it has brought the Governments of France and
Great Britain into the most cordial alliance known
since the 1848 Revolution.
