to them ;" whereas the Greeks have 44 not only_
remained a nation, but are still a European na-
tion—they still speak the language of their fore-
fathers—they still profess and practise the faith
which obtains in Europe, and conform to Euro-
pean customs—they build .and preserve their vil-
lages and cities with the same activity and in-
dustry as other European nations, while those of
the indolent Turks are suffered to fall into ruins
—and they pursue both .domestic and-foreign
traffic with indefatigable attention." The writer
urges the Europeans in general to make common
cause with the Greeks ; and the inducement- on
which he lays the chief stress, is one which
will render it no difficult matter to believe
that he- -is :really a German, with the usual
characteristics of a German philosophical poli-
tician.—" "Migration has ever proceeded from
east to west: from Asia came the Germans ;
and in Jater ages the Hungarians, the Huns, the
Moguls and the Turks. The history of the world
is in eternal repetition] though we are unable to
calculate time and circumstance. But this is
certain and self-evident, that the farther east-
ward the power of European nations is extended
the more securely is Europe herself protected: It
is an insufficient argument that our tactics
and the superiority of our arms protect us ;
that the Asiatic hordes can effect nothing against
the disciplined armies of Europe. Our superiority,
however great, is not greater than was that of
the Romans 'over their invaders, yet they were
conquered ; and it is little better than a truism
to assert that physical power must ever ulti-
mately triumph over art." We are afraid that
our German politician will find some difficulty
in so posse;sing us with the dangers with which
• we are threatened from the Mahometans in "the
, East, as to join, on that account, in a general
I crusade against them. ( Ibid.)

Letters and Papers to the 29th ult. were re
ceived from France yesterday. Their contents
increase in importance, and leave us little doubt
that an arrangement has taken place between
some, if not the whole, of the Allied Powers, to
effect the deliverance of the -Greeks, and the
final expulsion of the Turks from Europe. To
such an arrangement we could only object if it
were partial. To be effective and beneficial, it
must embrace all the great European States. It
must secure, if not their actual co-operation in the
field, at least their declared approbation and
consent; for divisions on such a point might
lead to a thousand dangers, which perfect union
must render chimerical. The main apprehension
seems to be lest the power entrusted with the
task of interfering should turn that interference
into a source of personal aggrandizement. But
the surest mode of causing that apprehension to
be realised, would be to abstain or to secede
from the compact ,by which that Power is to act
for a common and 'not a private end. For se-
cession from such a compact, or a refusal to en:
ter into it, might not diminish the means or
the disposition which that Power possessed to
interpose, but would enable it to do it without
the restraint under which it would otherwise
have acted. In that case the very evil which it
was intended to avert might be produced by the
course adopted for its prevention. But let all
the European States join 'in the compact—let
them solemnly bind themselves to form the
Greeks into an independent kingdom, as soon as
they shall have been redeemed from the yoke
and daggers of their Barbarian oppressors—let
them engage_to support that independence after
it shall have been established, and all danger of
particular aggrandizement must cease.

The accounts from Augsburg (a doubtful
source) affirm that an Austrian army was to cross
the Turkish frontier at one point, in concert
with the Russian army,,which should cross it at
another. This would correspond with the state-
ment of the rejection of Austrian mediation by
the Porte. But, on the other hand, we as yet
find no change of tone perceptible in the Austrian
journals, which still manifest a decided bias to
the Turks. The Porte is said to be deserted by
his nominal subjects of the Barbary States and
of Egypt. They have refused all aid, to the most
earnest solicitations. In fact, the Porte has no
refuge but in those Powers that are interested in pre-
serving the Turkish power—and both England
and France are said to have already interfered
efficiently. We only hope that the emancipation
of the Greeks will be made the basis of media-
tion. It would deprive Russia of ail cover fot
prosecuting her scheme of aggrandizement—it
would leave the Porte still a power for all justi-
fiable purposes—and it would satisfy the hopes
of those who feel for the classic nation, as well
as the humanity of all the worl'i. It is curious
that in the midst of the notes of ivar which these
Journal set forth, they at the same time state,
on the authority of commercial and financial ap-

pearances, that European tranquillity will
continue undisturbed.

It is impossible, when the question of an inva-
sion of Turkey by her powerful neighbour -is
offered to public view, to dismiss every consider-
ation of the effects is hich such an occurrence
might produce upon- the general politics of
Europe. It is universally believed, as may be
collected from the concurring testimony of all
the continental papers, that the question has
been formally submitted to the attention of
the several Cabinets of the great Powers of
Europe. Au impression has also been generally

received on the Continent that the invasion of
Turkey by Russia meets with the concurrence
and approbation of Austria and Prussia, but
that it does not receive the sanction of Great
Britain and France. The measure, however,
we are assured in an Augsburg Paper, has been
finally determined by Russia, and it is further
asserted that an Austrian Army will pass the
Turkish frontiers simultaneously with the inva-
sion by the troops of Russia, for the purpose of
acting in concurrence with them, and promoting
the great object of giving security to the Greeks.
A Manifesto is prepared which will shortly be
published, and will explain to the world the mo-
