T NDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1849.

Observing the determined attitude assumed by the
Governments of France and England, the AUTOCRAT
cannot seriously venture to persist with force of arms
in his insolen t demand of extradition. Turkey,
although apparently isolated, is, in reality, shielded
from the grasp of Russia by the awe-inspiring co-
operation of the Cabinets of St. James's and of the
Elysie. It is true that the CZAR may endeavour—
si it is certain that he is actually en-
deavouring, to escape from his present dilemma
by a blustering affectation of authority. Only
three days since, one of the aides -de-camp of
the Emperor NICHOLAS, accompanied by M.
DH Kisnaire, the Russian Charge d'Affaires
at Paris, waited upon the Foreign Minister
of the French Republic, for the purpose of
trying the effect of a bullying interview. He had
the insolence, indeed, to assure M. DE TOCCIURTILLE
that his imperial master would regard as a cases
belli the approach of a French fleet to the Dardanelles.
Considering that such a maritime movement has
been rendered imperative solely by the aggressive
attitude assumed by Russia towards the Sublime
Porte, such a declaration cannot be considered as
otherwise than a daring and flagrant act of imperti-
nence, to say the very least of it, towards the French
Republican Government. Aware, moreover, that
England yet more than France is implicated in
the transactions which have latterly taken place
in Constantinople, we may anticipate that the repre-
sentative of NICHOLAS may have the matchless effron-
tery to communicate a similar resolution to her
Britannic MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary. What
would be the instant reply of Lord PALMERSTON
may be readily conjectured. As a statesman not less ,
sensitive upon all matters relating to the treatment of
his country, and not less haughty in his vindication
of her dignity than Mr. CANNING was wont to be
when presiding over ker destinies, we can conceive
his being imitated into a somewhat more indignant
rejoinder than the one placidly articulated by M. DB
TOCQUEVILLE—nameIy, that he and his Ministerial
colleagues would regard as a easus belli the entry
of a Russilin army into the Turkish dominions. As
far as that goes, the soldiers of the AUTOCRAT are
even now, to all intents and purposes, within the
frontiers of the Ottoman territory. In overrunning
the Danubian provinces, they are overrunning
countries appertaining more to the SULTAN than to
the Caag. In occupying the capital of Bucharest
they have seized upon the metropolis of that Wal-
lachia whose governance rightfully belongs to ABDUL-
MESC HiD. M. Da TOCQUEVILLE possibly does not
find it exactly convenient to recognise so much
overtly, and therefore contents himself with asserting
that France will regard as a casus belli the entrance
of a Russian army into the Turkish dominions.
Aware of the horrors ith which the inhuman de-
mands of the AUTOAT were learnt by the
Britiits population, acquainted with the resolute
character of the British statesman now acting as
Foreign Secretary, and conscious of the heroic atti-
tude at once assumed on his own responsibility by
the British Ambassador at Constantinople, we are
anything but surprised to find that Austria is now,
at the eleventh hour, striving to reconcile the estranged
councils of the SULTAN and the AUTOCRAT. It has been
found that England is true to her own generous jai-
-1 ulses, that her foreign relations are watched with
un a inking vigilance by Lord PALMERSTON, and that
wherever the blow may fall, as in the case of Sir
STRATFORD CANNING, there the agents of her diplo-
macy are prepared forthwith to abide by the principles
of justice, humanity, and general rectitude. Having
acquired this brilliant but unwelcome assurance that
England at least will not consent to witness the per-
ptiatioa of an outrage upon Christianity, and the
attempt at retrogression in civilization, Austria
herself evincing a disposition to retract, and is now
using all her efforts to mitigate the requirements
made by the powerful but ruthless CZAR upon the
eak but noble-hearted CALIPH. At first the ulti.
n i
nation (it will be remembered) was the
immediate
extradition of the Hungarian refugees at 1% iddin.
At last that ultimatum appears to be shrinking to a
request that those fugitives shall be speedily
conveyed from Turkey to some more distant
country, for example, to England or to America.
Already the Viennese Cabinet has consented to these
concessions, and, according to reports now prevalent,
its agents are using every persuasion to bring the
Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to consent to the same
compromise. Should Russia still continue violent
the result must inevitably be war. Should the
AUTOCRAT, on the contrary, yield to the advice of his
German ally, and to the dictates.of rational prudence,
be '4711 be degraded in the eyes of Europe—the
prestige of his inso!ence will have vanished. His
s
influence will no longer continue predomin
at Constantinople, it will be replaced by the influence
of the liberal Governments of Western Europe, but
especially by that already exercised by England on
the shores of the Bosphorus.
Of this we are satisfied—France assuredly, Eng-
lai,d certainly, will not be deterred by the bluster of
any Russian aide de-camp, cr chargé d'affaires, from
sending her fleets, if required by humanity, to the
channel of the Dardanelles. Baulked in her insolent
demands upon the SULTAN, Russia will not find her
braggadocio one jot_ more successful either in regard
to Italica or to England. If driven to the last
