has ordered have been brought up.----The
Russians, to far as we can judge from the
latest accounts, have wholly miscalculated their
strength, or rather the immensity of the force
which would be required to make any decided
impression on the Turkish defences ; and it may
therefore he naturally supposed that they will
remain, on the defensive until they have
received an accession of strength. The
Turks, however, if they continue to act on
the same system that they have hitherto done,
will not be idle_ they will Make sorties on
the besieging corps, and endeavour to drive
them from their positions—they will attack them
in the guerilla style, and cut off detachments,
iidettes, and convoys. In this sort of warfare
the Turks are, perhaps, superior to any other
people ; and the annoyance which they have
already created to the Russian army has com•
plied it to form itself into moving colums,
in order to prevent ..its communications from
being cut off. Such occurrences do not
augur well for the ultimate success of the
campaign. The armies of Napoleon were
beaten by such warfare; 'and there is no reason
why those of Nicholas should not be so also.
Of the power of Russia to withstand a com-
bined attack from the other European powers,
Opinions are as different as the extent of her
gigantic empire. By many it is supposed that
there is no mode by which we could effectually
annoy Russia, either by sea or land. The case,
however; is altogether different, as will be seen
from the following extract from Colonel Evans's
excellent work " On the Designs of Russia."
• About eighty states or nations (says he) com-
pose and forty languages are spoken in this wide-
spreading dominion. Heterogeneous as these ma-
terials are, they answer very well for external war
—g-as long as they are permitted from without to
remain intact, as long as foreigners do not turn
against the Autocratic rulers their own Machiave-
lien arts, as long as it is omitted to disseminate
emissaries with promises of support amongst the
various races of men who long to sever the ties
which bind them in this general servitude, and who
for the most part burn to re-assert their respective
independence. As for the Muscovites., who form
the fulcrum of the machine, they are profoundly su-
perstitious, and scarcely lees disposed to worship
their_ sovereign than their God; but this does not
prevent' their hatred in many instances of their
owners, or those who are set in authority over them
—and accordingly, bloody and desperate insurrec-
tions are by no means unfrequeut. On those occa-
sions, strong measures are always adopted: They
are shot in hundreds without form or mercy, and
not a word said of it in the government organ, the
press; and these occurrences are even often, it is
supposed, concealed from the Emperor.—Morning

Lord Kenyon says, that the Almighty " has
raisin this nation by his blessing to the highest

,nay be so ; hut, in that case, the rest of the
world must he in a very queer state ; and when
we consider the pains that have long been taken
to corrupt the English people, systematically—
that our whole system of Church and State
founded in corruption and hypocrisy, the
wonder is increased how we should, not-
withstanding, have attained to this said unpre-
cedented pitch of religious knowledge, mo-
rality, and prosperity. the late Police Report
2.nd the Evidence, and the kindred Report
cn the State of Crime throughout the Country
at large, substantiate some particulars, which
may not be without their use in throwing a light
on what this ornament of the Peerage means by
religious knowledge and morality. The Police
Reports in particular, proves clearly enough two
things—that we have abundance of rogues, and
that no small pains are taken to keep up the stock;
that, for instance, the Police of the Metropolis
and the plunderers are in a co-partners, to share,
in certain proportions, the property which can be
obtained by unrighteous means from the public ;
that the officers have an interest in the success
of the thieves, anti therefore protect them ; and
the Authorities and Magistrates know of these
doings, and connive at them. Thus, for instance,
with respect to a certain gentleman named
Canty, possessed of large property, we have it in
the evidence of OfficerA.A.:—

" Cauty is a well•known character, is not he ?
He is a man that sports a great deal; I have seen
many gentlemen at Ascot Races make bets with him.
"Ts there any Officer or• Magistrate about London
that does not know Cauty by name ?—I should
think not by name.
" Is not he known at Bow-street ?—They must
know Lim by name.
" Mitst .Sir Richard Birnie know that there is

must know that there is such a man."

A consultation with the respective heads will
enable the officers, who must have a few victims
to justice occasionally, as tubs to the whale, to
get possession of the workmen who can be best
