LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1856.

There is something in the inexorable resolve
manifested by Russia to pursue her traditional
schemes of aggression which should insure
thoughtful consideration and incessant watchful-
ness. Whether victorious or defeated in the field
the result is the same in kind, though not in
degree ; her watchword is still—Onward. The
most striking feature in this pursuit is, when she
receives a check at arms, she becomes most dan-
gerous, almost invariably securing by her tortuous
diplomacy some advantage tending to the promo-
tion of her aims. The fact is she fights as a semi-
civilised nation will, with two arms—force and
fraud—and when beaten with one, throws all the
ntore energy into, and achieves a proportionate
success with, the other. The grand mistake in
dealing with her has been to overlook this, and,
treating her as a civilised power, confide accord-
ingly in her good faith, a quality she really does
not cherish—lying, perjury, and fraud occupying
its place.

Whether her purposes will not have been really
advanced by the late War and " precious Peace "
remains to be seen. That she will owe to them,
before many years are over, a vast accession of
strength, by means of the internal improvements
which they have led her to attempt, will not
admit of doubt. It is hardly less certain that,
unless she be cautiously and resolutely dealt
with, she will secure one important vantage
ground, from which, by the Treaty of Peace, it
was meant she should be excluded. We allude
to Bolgrad, situated on the Lake of Yalpuck,
which lake is connected with the Kilia arm of the
Danube by means of the Lake of Kagurlin and
the R9spida River, which, the reader may see,
falls into the Danube close to the important
fortress of Ismail. The state of the case is this.
Austria proposed to the Allies the removal of
Russia entirely from the Danube, which proposi-
tion, being seriously entertained, a line of de•
marcation between Russia anti Moldavia was
drawn out, and offered at the Paris Conference,
whereby two-thirds of Bessarabia would have to
be ceded to the above Principality by Russia, and
the wish of Austria, we take it for granted, would
be carried out. To this boundary Thi;sia, would
not give her assent, and eventually the following
conditions were agreed to :—"The new frontier
shall begin at the Black Sea, at one kilo-
metro to the east of Lake Bourna Souls, ;
shall, in a straight line, join the road
to Ackreman, shall follow that road as far as
the valley of Trojan, shall pass to the south of
Bolgrad, shall ascend the river Yalpuck as far as
the heights of Saratsika, and shall end at Kota-
mori on the Pruth." Now comes the hitch.
The maps consulted in the formation of the above
boundary were Russian, and, as it turns out, did
not belie their origin. In all probability they
were constructed by Russia as of old for the occa-
sion. Bo this as it may, when the line of boun-
dary came to be carefully considered after the
peace, it was discovered that the terra firma
between Bolgrad and the lake of
Yalpuck, repre-
sented on the Russian maps, and selected as part
of the line of demarcation had no existence but
was mere moonshine ; while, to crown all, Russia
insists on keeping Bolgrad The plea that she
put forth—that it is an important strategic posi-
tion—meets with, it is true, apparently little
credit in some quarters—but, nevertheless, may
prove unexaggerated. This much is certain :
Russia insists on keeping Bolgrad, and that
despite of the remonstrances of the Allies (rather
significant facts), and unless the " very active
