LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1854.

The AUTOCRAT is beginning at last to find his
various hopes dwindling away in the hour of ex-
tremity. There are rumours of a defection from
his cause (certainly not until after mature delibe-
ration) of that Austria whose policy he at one
time regarded as identical with that of his own
Government. There are not wanting reports,
'even, among the more credulous, that Prussia
may ultimately be induced to withdraw from a
-complicity with the designs of the CZAR, al-
though little heed can be had to those
statements at the very time when it is announced
that the KING is about to have a personal inter-
view with NICHOLAS, at the frontier town of Stalin-
-poenen. However this may be in regard to the
two chief Powers of Germany, there is little doubt
but that Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are
ripe for a declaration of war against Russia, and
only wait to that end for the appearance of Anglo-
French troops along their coasts, or for some such
stimulating or encouraging opportunity.
Meanwhile the Asiatic frontiers of Turkey are
being abandoned—the different fortified places hav-
ing been given up in succession, with the exception
of formidable and invaluable strongholds like
Anapa, which will only be relinquished, of course,
aiter their vigorous investment. Mean while, more-
over, the Russian forces find themselves compelled
to withdraw from the presence of the enemy, not
only in that quarter, but in another still more
remarkable—the whole of Lesser Wallachia hav-
ing some time since been abandoned by the army
under GORTZCHAKOFF.
And Greece—Greece, too, has failed the CZAR
at the precise juncture when its failure as an
accomplice could only be fraught to his Imperial
MAJESTY with the most bitter and irritating dis-
appointment. We learn, from intelligence dated
up to the Bth instant from St. Petersburg, that
the flews of King UTHO'S surrender to the ultima-
tum. of the Maritime Powers had caused the ut-
!nest dismay and astonishment. Nor can this be
wondered at. It can no more be wondered at
that the AUTOCRAT should be dismayed to find him-
Self deserted by the Court of Athens while AMELIA
still continues the Queen of Greece, than that he
Should have been dismayed to find himself forsaken
by. the British
Ministry,
• •
with his friend of forty
years, Lord ABERDEEN-, still remaining at the
head of it as First Lord. of the Treasury. Dis-
mayed or
undismayed, the Emperor NICHOLAS
has been most egregiously deceived
and most fla-
grantly deserted in the hour of need and at the
Moment of extremity not less by King OTRO than
by Lord ABERDEEN. The defection of the
KING of Greece from the cause of his
Imperial master can only be taken as
a fresh illustration of Onio's incorrigible faith-
lessness. Not—common sense and experience
alike assure us of that—not as any token that that
Monarch's sincerity
can at last be relied upon
even for an instant. It would be simply ridicu-
lous to imagine this for one moment, after the
revelations of his monstrous duplicity now lying
before the world in official documents, given at
length and reliably in the important blue book
recently published by order of her MAJESTY
and laid upon the tables of both Houses of Par-
liament. It is all delightful enough, of course,
to know that the Ministerial traitors and the
military conspirators, recently plotting treason
with the Court of Athens, have been everywhere
iconifited. It is eminently satisfactory, no
