The pressure of various articles prevents our
aiaking our remarks on the Letters which we gave
yesterday, from our intelligent Correspondent at

a n(1 candid, it %you'd be SOISIC what presumptuot►s
i►t us to distrust his information or dispute his de-
ductions. However, there are points on which
Ive shall ve►iture to avow 'our own opinions, and
which are of interest to E.urope in general.
