LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1854.

' A remarkable essay has been recently put forth
by' the Count PA.LERLAN KRASINSKI. It has re-
ference to the present war between Russia and
Europe, with particular 'regard to its probable
consequences. The distinguished author of this
Pa.naphlet has earned for himself the right to a
hia.ring by the ability displayed in his history of
the Reformation in Poland, by his sketch of the
religious annals of the Slavonic multitudes, but
especially by the prescient judgment revealed in
his work on "Panslavism and Germanism,"
among all his political writings his undoubted
masterpiece. Allusion being made to this volume
last-mentioned, it has been said by a competent
observer—" I know no more striking anticipation
of public events than has been offered by Count
VALERIAN KR ASINSKI'S work on ' 4 Panslavism
arid Germanism." This was the remark of the Hon.
dember for Pontefract in his letter [relating to the
occurrences of 1848] addressed to the venerable Mar-
quis of LANSDOWNE. It was a panegyric eminently
well deserved, and wholly unexaggerated. By
his previous writings, therefore, upon a similar
theme—writings no doubt more voluminous, but
scarcely, we believe, in any respect more remark-
able than his present effusion, Count KRASINSKI
may be said to have earned his right to an audi-
ence as a pamphleteer, An examination of his
argument in regard to the present war between
Russia and two at least of the mightier races of
Christendom, will be repaid by the light,thereby
thrown upon its probable consequences—for our
publicist writes with an ample knowledge of his
subject, a knowledge ripened by years of calm and
serious meditation. His argument, if it fail to
convince, cannot but instruct, by the variety and
aptness of its illustrative informatiou.
Count KRASINSKI, at the outset of his observa-
tions, takes for granted that the Allies, after
either destroying or capturing the Russian fleets
both in the Black Sea and in the Baltic—will dis-
mantle her maritime strongholds, such as Cron-
stadt and Sebastopol—will wrest from the de-
feated foe the Aland Islands and Finland, in
order to restore them to Sweden—will drive the
enemy not only out of the Crimea and out of the
Caucasus, but beyond the Pruth, and "even,"
be says (p. 7), beyond the Dniester. All this,
we observe, our publicist takes for granted at the
very commencement. Judging from what the
Alliea have as yet done, we cannot but fear that
he is rather sanguine in his anticipations. Judg-
ing. from what they ought to do, we cannot but
t`hink that he scarcely goes far enough in the
limits drawn for the necessary preliminaries of a
pacification. Instead of taking for granted the
ciriving•bs.ck of the Russians not only beyond the
Pruth, bnt even beyond the Dniester, we should
rather have heard repeated what we have already.
declared again and again ourselves, that a secure
peace with Russia can only be obtained when the
forces of the CZAR shall have been permanently
driven back, not merely beyond the Pruth and
the Dniester, and the Bug, but beyond the line
4:4' the river Dnieper, the current of which marked
ow, wail the year 1689, the boundary of the
Russian dominions. But to return to the argn-
wont of Count VALERIAN KRASINSKI, supposing
ill those results of the war with Russia to be
inevitable--the destruction of the fleets of the
CZAR in the Euxine and the Baltic, the dismant-
ling of Cronstadt and Sebastopol, the restoration
of the Aland Islands and of Finland to Sweden,
the expulsion of the Muscovite armies from the
Crimea And the Caucasus, the emancipation
from the rule of the AUTOCRAT of the pro-
vince of Bessarabia—our author asks, even
then, pertinently and most startlingly—
" `Would it not be humiliating Russia without
Orippling her power, and irritating her national
feeling without depriving her of the means of
revenge l' Yes—with him we think assuredly—
Yes ! We thick with him in this rather appalling
conclusion, because we believe no less firmly than
he believes, that while the loss of Finland, and of
the Crimea, and of the Caucasus, would be galling
