" Ott the frontier of Bessarabia, every thing is
ready, and it is thought that hostilities will com-
mence as soon as the season becomes favourable.

" FEB. 27.—The accounts re-
ceived by the Mail of to-day leave little hope of
the continuance of peace between Russia and
Turkey. The armies of the former have made
fresh movements in Bessarabia and on the Da-
nube, in consequence of dispatches lately sent
from St. Petersburg to the Commanders in Chief.
It is affirmed that the comtnand of the troops in
Lithuania will be given to a foreign Prince,
brother-in-law to the Emperor Alexander. As
soon as the Turks leannt the movements of the
Russians they hastened to assemble troops about
Nicopolis, which are to reinforce the army on
the Danube. The Turks have besides a line of
entrenchments and a considerable quantity of
artillery, along the Danube.. To judge by all
These precautions it might be supposed that the
Russians sere on the point of advancing. A
report is in circulation that a great German
rower has offered a young Prince of the reign-
ing House to occupy the future throne of Greece.
Such a report needs confirmation.
"a, CORFU, FEB. 3.—Yesterda7 letters from the
Morea'of the 28th and 29th of January arrived.
They state the arrival at Argos of an Agent from
the United States of America, announcing to the
Senate that the American Congress would send
the Greeks five frigates, with munitions for
40,000 men, in the beginning of May. This
agreeable news, which, however, wants confir-
mation, has filled the Greeks with enthusiasm,
'which they have expressed by firing salvos of
artillery in all directions."

When will the savage disturbers of Ireland be
quelled, is the question put by every one who
feels concern for that unfortunate country. Now
for more- than half a year we have been shocked
by almost daily accounts of fires and murders
great numbers of the miserable barbarians have
been killed in open contest, or have died on the
scaffold • yet the savage spirit seems to be irri-
tated rather than subdued, and accounts of the
most dreadful atrocities continue to reach us.
However. lamentable this may be, though there is
great occasion for sorrow there is none for des-
pair. The Irish Government has not yet bad
time to bring into exercise the extensive powers
with which it is now armed. It is reasonable to
hope that very shortly, by the activity of the
police, seconded by a strong military force, the
nightly mauraders as well as the open insurgents
will be awed into tranquillity. In common with
all men of all. parties, we place great reliance
.uPon the tried abilities and energy of the present
.Governor. -It would be strange indeed if bands
0f savages, however numerous, should continue 1
Much longer to resist the force of thelmpire, di-
rected as it will be by the Marquis WELLESLEY.—
We ccnfidently trust, therefore, that in a very
short time the country will be relieved from the
horrors which have so long distressed it. It is
true that some of the more desperate among the
rebels appear to be reckless of their lives, but this
13 not likely to be the case with any.great number:
the love of life cannot so easily begot rid of even by
savages, and therefore we conclude that the re-
cent exeeptions cannot fail to have produced a
great effect.` But when rebellion has been quell-
ed, and tranquillity restored outwardly, the in-
Ward spirit of revenge will remain, not softened
but rather exasperated. Then the task, which
is most difficult, will only be commencing, and
the wisdom of Government will have room to
chew itself. 'Then we may well ask one another
what plans does Lord WELLESLEY intend to
Pursue ?—The whole frame of society in Ire-
land is disordered : the disease is not partial or

temporary, but is diffused through the mass of
the people, and has been growing for centuries
,Let us not complain, then, or be disappointed, if
it should prove that Lord WELLESLEY canuol
4Pply a perTect remedy in a moment to so corn-

Plicated an evil. He is not an empiric, nor does
,Ilepretend that he has the power of working mi-
itacles. We have as exalted an opinion of the
Powers of his mind and of his ardent zeal for

the welfare of Ireland, as the greatest of his ad-

ibirers, but his powers are human, and he must
work by human agents. It cvill be eufficient for his
Rlory, to hate originated a happier mode of govern-
ment, to have pointed out the way to his successors,
and it must necessarily remain fora future genera-
lion tt4eap the full fruits of his patriotism and wis-
dom. And, after all, where the reformation of a
debased people is to be effected, how little can be
done by the mere edicts of Government, how-
`tver salutary and wise ! The most it can do is
to remove obstacles, to prevent weak and wicked
men from working mischief, and thus provide
tree space for the exertions of enlightened and
/*ell-disposed men spread over the land. The

War against the Mahometans.
