LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1853.

The AUTOCRAT has at last thrown aside the
mask of deception. There cannot any longer be
a doubt that war, and war 4routrance, is the key
Of the arrogant and ambitious policy of St. Peters-
burg. Russia has contrived by her cajoleries to
fool England to the top of her bent, and having
• protracted the frivolous negotiations of the allies
of Turkey until the autumnal season has tolerably
well advanced, her ruler now deems it advisable to
drop what has hitherto been a marvellously suc-
cessful and convenient masquerade. The revela-
tion of the daring project of the Emperor nem-
LAS is conveyed to the world officially through the
columns of the Journal de St. Petersburg. An
Imperial Manifesto published in that organ, and
dated the 21st •of October, concludes with the
subjoined extraordinary declaration Russia is
goaded on to War ;
nothing remains for her but to
have recourse to arms
to comp el the Ottoman
Empire to respect treaties' to obtain reparation for
the insults with which the lattert has replied to our
most moderate demands—
o our imo:tefasitohliciin-
-1
solici-
tude for the maintenance
of the orthodox
legitimate
the East." Observe the astonishing insolence
of every one of these remarkable
expressions.
Mark the astonishing violation
In every syl-
lable of the universally-received ideas of
common sense, right reason, and ordinary in-
telligence. " Russia is goaded on to War_
nothing remains, for her but to have re-
course to arms to compel the Ottoman Empire to
respect Treaties." Was there, ever such prepos-
terous distortion of truth—as if the disrespect tc-
wards Treaties had been on the side of the Porte,
and not, as it has been, notoriously and flag-
rantly on the side of the AUTOCRAT. Reading
these terms of the Imperial Manifesto of the CZAR
NICHOLAS, dated the 21st of October, and pub-
lished officially in the Journal de St. Petersburgh,
one would fancy that the Turks, and not the Rus-
sians, had crossed tte •Pruth, and that in lieu of
Moldo-Wallachia having been forcibly seized by
