RUSSIANS.

3 PARIS, Al 17.—The following retnarlis are by
a man tlrially distinguished for the high situations
he has filled, and the works he has published :—lt
Is to be presumed that the Russians will be at Con-
& stan,tinople before the close of the campaign. Suppose
they make themselves masters of it, and are so
ac-
knowledged, what will be the results for the Franks of
this change of dominion ? The question is of general
interest, and the following one, we hope, we may
form :—First, we must not conceits that the increase
of Russian territory is the inerease of her power.
net will be caused by the increase of her trade, by
the free communication the event will open between
her southern provinces and the Mediterranean, caus-
ing a change in this vast empire, putting it in pos-
session of the natural advantages of its rivers and
waters, inviting capital into its interior, encourAg-
ing every species of industry, and finally introducing
civil and political liberty, the inseparable compa-
nions of enlightened and industrious opulence.
France will be one of the first nations to profit by
the new trade which Russia will acquire. Marseilles
now trades with Odessa as well as Coustantinople.
Having these ancient relations, the development of-
new ones will be easy. Moreover, the commerce
of Constantinople with the Mediterranean cannot
be carried en otherwise than as formerly with
Marseilles, in consequence of its lazaret, the only
one on the shores of France opened to that
trade. The 'exportation of Russia must he raw
materials ; our trade with it will consist in ma-
nuftictured articles and wine. We may for a
long time be to Russia what England was to
the United States at the time of their separa-
tion. The population of the United States has in-
creased, and so also has that of England. While
Russia is. increasing by her territorial products,
France will increase by her manufactures. What
has most influence in the political balance of nations,
is their disposable population ; and a great increase
of trade in France, would augment her disposable
fences inuelt more rapidly than the disposable force
of Ru3sia would be augmented by a similar increase,
and the equilibrium between the diSpesable popula-
tion of both will be the more easily established, in
proportion as the population of Russia is spread over
a larger territory than that of France, open to attack
at several points. The French Government has ne-
gociated for upwards of half a century, to establish
commercial relations with Russia; and it negociated
with Turkey not to interpose obstacles, and the
same policy will now guide it.
