BORDERS OF THE MAINE, AITG.
Peace is made between France and RUFSia, and be-
tween PrUssia and France, still there seams to be no
end to the. march of troops to the diffeient French
armies, which, to some politicians,', certainty ap-
pears rather singular... But theSe politicians should
take. this consideration with them, that though there
is an armistic'e between the 'Turks and the Rus-
sians, there is no peace ; that this. must be negoci-
ated under the mediation of France; and that it:.is
still uncertain whether it will, come to a .peace or
not. In the latter case (which may Heaven pre-
vent), it is probable that the French, as Allies of
the Turksovilkake part, with thein ; and, ifTtus-
sia remains neutral, the war will take quite a new
direaion.
