FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR-Seeing that the painted window
for the choir of Hereford Cathedral is advertiied for, inspection,
I think it to be regretted that the opportunity now presented,,
of making an Engraving front it, should be suffered to slip by.
The stone-work of the window, with its compartments acct.',
rattly traced, and with the different figures, as they will ap.
pear, chastely and judiciously coloured, in the style of ACKER-
StANN'S New College window, engraved. by LEWIS, would not
only' have peculiar claims upon the notice of all connected with
the Church and neighbourhood, but form both a lively repre-
sentation of a splendutwork of Art, and a well-timed compli.
went, which all may pay by possessing it, to one of our most
celebrated painters.
I am your's, much obliged,

We were the first to state, a considerable time
since, that Russia was assembling an Army,
which was then believed to be destined for the
Rhine, as soon as circumstances should, in the
opinion of the Emperor ALEXANDER, or of his
Allies, require a large Russian force in, that
quarter. The annunciation of this important fact
was at first discredited ; but every day it has re-
ceived additional corroboration, and is at length
fully confirmed by the answer given to Mr.
BROUGHAM last night in the House of
Commons by. Mi. CANNING,. Russia) then)l

it is now certain, has, assembled an .Array
on the Vistula; and, it is believed that the
Austrian troops which evacuated Piedmont and
Naples have been halted in the Milanese. What-
ever may be the object of these military arran e-
ments, we repeat that our. Government have io
information to warrant the idea that the army
either of Austria or of Russia is intended to
be immediately employed against Spain. M.
de CHATEAURRIAND, on the part of the French
Government, has also positively denied the
existence of any treaty by which foreign
troops are to be introduced into France. Still,
it is evident that the present position of the
Russian and Austrian forces is in consequence.of
the contest now carrying on in the Peninsufa;
and the rumours of the intended journey of the
Emperor ALEXANDER to Bad-Ems, seem to in' I
dicate the manner in which his force is meant to .

be employed. Projects have been attributed to
his Imperial MAJESTY, which, if true. would
be rather inconsistent with the character of a
faithful ally of the French Government, and
would give the Spaniards no reason to apprehend
any thing from Russian hostility 1 We shall net
otherwise allude to these alleged projects at pre.
sent. All that we have to say is this,—that affairs
are obviously approaching to a crisis which must ,
involve Europe in another general war. We haYe
al ways, as our Readers know,anticipated that the
frantic attack upon Spain would bring matters to
this' pass at last. We, therefore, shall,nnt be
surprised by the tremendous events which are
at hand. Unless the war between France end
Spain be brought to a speedy close indeed)
either by the triumph of the French, or bf
a peace founded on mutual concession!,
