the object which Russia proposed to effect by force
of arms, we shall here give the passage of the St.
Petersburgh Jourxed having reference to it, in the
original

WY-.! not mistaken in anticipating that Russia
Would adopt the precise course which she has taken,
Having a distinct cause of war of her own, it *as
her option either to forego availing het-tell' of it, and
to confine her efforts to co-operation with the
Allies in carrying t'ile Treaty of London, into effect;
or she ttr;el':: act under the Treaty of London, and
at tl!'t.e same time seek reparation by arms for her
own separate wrongs. The Treaty of Lendbn could
be no bar to her prosecution of hri• own claims, any
more than they could tnder that Treaty call upon
the Allies, after the object of it—namely, the eman-
cipation of Jreece—was effected, to aid her in en-
ferei the Treaty of Ackerman. We observed, tot!
that if Russia were determined to in!:!ade Turkey
she would announce that detr:tY,ination at once, in
order to prevent the po:;sibility of remonstrance, and
to intiarisjate other Powers, ‘yho might dread the
respor.sibility of challenging the measure, with a full
knowledge of the consequences to which .t•.2li
proceedimg could hardly fail to lead, The Russian
Court has never shown itr,(ll' deficient in dexterity,
and we were, therefore, almost certain that she would
show thiq !le could dispense with the advice of her
rit4gtbours, when that advice might not be ac-
ceptable to her. Accordingly, we find that the pub-
lication of the declaration followed so closely bn tbe
heels of the despatches to her Ambaslador here as
to render all remorbstrane nnayailing. It will be
seen that Russia toles a convenient latitude in the
enumeration of the objects for which she seeks
redrew by arms. The possession of Constantinople
may not be too much for the securing the trade of
the Bosphorus, while it is in her power et any time
to declare herself satisfied with the security offered,
whatever it may be. \V may now, therefore, soon
expect to hear 'Of Russian movements.—Morning

The news from St. Petersburgh is a corapltte an-
swer to the cant with which the ptihiic have been
pestered for the hitt on the part of the Press,
and some oi"the Parliamentary orators, respecting
the pc&:, of Mr. Canning. No wonder the Corn
Question was put off last evening ; for the Duke of
Wellingtun and Mr. Peel would have something
else to talk about than the Corn Question. We should
think that the holders of the bits of paper called
Russian, Austrian, and other Bonds would not be
very comfortable when they received this Russian
inte!ligence. Some of them, no doubt, received the
intelligence several days ago, and their time was
probably fully employed in getting iid of as many
as they could of the Russian, Aristrian, &c.
.securities! 'When the time arrives that no
more loans can ik raised, directly or indirectly,
for those Continental States, then no more divi-
domk will be paid, and then every body will exclaim
when the thing is blown up, "who world hai)c
thought it." That theißussians appear determined
to seize Constantinopk there can, we think,' be no
doubt; Mr, Canning's policy prepared the way for
them at Navarin, by the Allied Powers crippling •
the nav; I power of 'Turkey. We are in a singular
predicament—we dare not go to war, und the Rus-
siaus, French, and Austrians know it. Our Debt
prevents us from going to war. But if the latter
were not the case, we could not, after the exhibi-
tion
ut Navarin, oin the Turks against the Rus-
sians. So much for entering into treaties with other
nations. The Chinese policy is best, of having
nothing to do with other nations. They neither
receive nor send Ambassadors. They . are wise.
NegociPtors make sad business of it, take them in
general—that is, if they do anything.—Morning

Sir Joseph Yorke, on Thursday night, in the
Mouse of Commons, made some very proper re-
marks, on presenting a petition against the erection
of two bridges at Lambeth. Sir Joseph F aid, that
most propositions for building bridges arose from
parties interested, as, " Lawyerg, Architects, Stone-
masons, Bricklayers, and others." Sir Joseph a-as
quite right in that assertion. At the same time there
would be nothing wrong even in this, provided the
parties so interested were to lay proper estimates
before the public, previous to the application
for the Act of Parliament or the beginning to
build the bridge. But, in general, the estimates
laid before the public are only to one-half--or,
in some instances, one-third or one-fourth—the real
cost of the bridges. And these false estimates are deli-
vered in,in order to induce people to partwith their too-
ney as shareholders. It is almost the invariable practice
with architects and builders to deliver in estimates,
which they know, at the time of delivering them in, to
be false. It is the practice of these people to delude.
That a bridge is wanted to connect Lambeth with
Westminster, there can he no doubt; and we should
he glad to see such a bridge built ; but as to having
a single share in such bridge, we would not even as
a gift; for, at the present price charged for building
bridges, there is no toll that could be levied that
would, in our opinion, bring a man one per cent, for
his money. As such a bridge is wanted, we should
wish that the Parliament would enter upon it; and
that its expense should form part of the expenses
of the country. But a bridge, under such circum-
stances, ought to be opened free of toll; and if the
Vauxhall-bridge proprietors suffered in consequence,
why then let the public take their bridge at prime
cost, and throw open that bridge too. This mode
of spending money on the part of the nation would,
we think, be more beneficial than either sending
troops to countries to secure to people Constitutions
that they do not want, or exporting the poor, or
educating the poor.—lbid.
The Corn Resolutions have been delayed until
Monday, and we are sincerely sorry for the cause—
the indisposition of the President of the Board of
Trade, by whom they were to be moved in the House
of Commons. Mr. Grant has for some time past
been in a delicate state of health, yet was ready, not-
withstanding, to have come down to the House last
night rather than that any inconvenience should arise
out of the temporary postponement of his im-
portant motion. Mr. Secretary Peel, with his
usual sound sense and correct feeling, would not
allow the Right Honourable Gentleman to incur
so great a risk for so small an advantage. The
secret of the Ministers' intentions has not been kept
so profoundly as not to be guessed at—we do
not say ascertained—and one of our contempo-
raries of last night informs us of their nature
pretty distinctly. The Bill which they purpose
to introduce will, according to that authority,
be precisely the same as that which dropped
in the House of Lords last Session, because nobody
would be at the trouble of upholding it—the Bill,
in a word, of Mr. Canning, with the Duke of Wel-
lington's amendments. We hope there is some
mistake in this account. Mr. Canning very evi-
dently gave the landed interest as unfavourable a
Bill as he could. Had he been more independent
of their support they would.have been more severely
treated. It was not expected that, from the more
vigorous Administration of the Duke of Wellington,
they were to receive the least, which, by any de-
gree of management, they could be prevailed on to
accept ; for it must be recollected that the House of
Lords agreed to his modified Bill only in despair of
getting anything better.—New Time:.
