Preparations for war upon an enormous scale
are now, it appears, being actively made—on the
one hand by the Russian, and on the other by
the Turkish Government. It must be particularly
borne in mind, moreover, at this moment, that
the incentives to the struggle upon both sides are
truly formidable, because, really and without any
exaggeration whatever, extraordinary. The Sultan
ABD-UL-MEDJID, for example, may rely implicitly
upon the enthusiasm of his forces, that enthusiasm
arising out of no ephemeral emotion, but out of
the depth of a heart-born patriotism, out of the
fervour, and resolve, and devotion with which the
more valorous races of mankind have ever fought
since the flood, and with which they will
assuredly ever fight till the " crack of doom,"
for the holy and inalienable right of na-
tional indel endenee ! The Czar NICHOLAS,
meanwhile, may count with the utmost confidence
upon the ardour of his troops, remembering
that that ardour is inspired by the long-cherished,
but hitherto suppressed, yearning of the Cossacks
to march southwards to the conquest of Roumelia,
to the capture of St. Sophia, to the seizure of the
treasures, and the pride, and the glory of Con-
stantinople ! It has hitherto been supposed that
Turkey is altogether unprepared for a contest
with the tyrannous and gigantic power of the
AUTOCRAT. It has been presumed that the actual
struggle between the Divan and the Councils of
St. Petorsburgh would be one so unequal in its
character that it must end in a single and rapid
campaign, with the humiliation of the Sublime
Porte, and the definitive triumph of the Russian
EMPEROR. Those, however, who are acquainted
with the relative positions of the two countries,
those, especially, who are correctly informed as
to- the progress made of late years by their
espective populations, need not be informed
that such estimates of the weakness of Turkey
and of the strength of Russia are wholly and ab-
surdly erroneous. Mr. COBDEN, no doubt, talked
extravagantly when he declared, some time ago,
from the platform of a, meeting in the London
Tavern, that you might crumple up Russia as
easily as he crumpledsup a piece of paper. But
although he did, as we remark, talk extravagantly
in so speaking, he was so far right in the main,
that he correctly appreciated the insecurity and
rottenness of the foundations upon which has been
built up all the grandeur of the Northern Colos-
sus. He saw that if, like the mighty figure
in the dream of NEBUCHADNEZZAR, its head,
and its arms, and its breast were of
the precious metals, its feet were also, like
that of its prototype, of clay. History pro-
claims this--the history of the past proclaims
it, but more especially, more loudly, and more
unmistakeably, the history of later days, the his-
tory a the pressnt, the history of our own gene-
ration. All round the Black, Sea, all through the
Danubian provinces, extending in one direction
through Hungary as far as the coasts of Dalmatia,
and in another through the desert of Astrachan to
the mountains of Circassia, the people of those
regions are ripe for insurrection. They wait only
for the signal. And that signal—the tocsin call-
ing them 'to the vindication of their liberties—is
the momentous war now on the eve of its com-
mencement. By a remoter contingency, doubtless,
but none the less inevitably for all that, it may
be asserted, moreover, that the rise of Hungary,
and the rise of Northern Italy, and the rise of
Western Poland, are dependent upon the policy
pursued at this juncture by the Leaders of the
Austrian Government,
Meanwhile, Russia being thus surrounded by
those inflammable materials, ready at the first
spark of war to break into a revolutionary con-
flagration, Turkey is more than ever powerful—
powerful by the justice of her cause, powerful by
the discipline of her soldiers, powerful by the
development of civilisation among her inhabi-
tants, powerful by the genius of RESCRTD PACHA
and her other distinguished administrators,
by the skilful prowess of OMIR PACHA and her
other military commanders, by the patriotism of
her citizens, by the magnanimity of her SULTAN,
by the support, in fine, secured to her through
the maritime armaments of the two most formid-
able states of Christendom.
Confident in the strength of its
,position, the
Divan is now actively preparing for approach-
ing struggle with the atrmies of the AUTOCRAT. It
