If the Paellas combine to resist, the treaty of

open to England. iron
The dissidents placed at Sophia support them-
selves in their point of departure, on their left
and north upon Widdin and the Danube ; on
the right and south on the Hem Us. They ha've
behind them all the western part of the Sultan's
possessions in Europe, inhabited by the most
Warlike people in the empire.
This part of Turkey is likewise the most
proper for a war of posts and stratagems ; it is
bounded on the south and west by the sea.
What position more favourable for the continua.
tion of hostilities!

In such an hypothesis, General Diebitseh will
have occasion for considerable reinforcements to
maintain himself in his new conquests,—forced,
perhaps, to arm the Christians in the provinces
which he occupies ; and in that case, will it be
easy for him to constrain exasperated spirits, and
will there not be sanguinary affrays between the
Rajas and their ancient rulers ?
If the combined army act upon the offensive,
notwithstanding the treaty of the 14th, it can, in
forming a detachment, rally there the forces of
Generals Geismar and Kiv‘eleff, fight them, and
drive them back into Servia. But to follow
them upon that new ground would be to cont•
promise his position in Romelia, and begin t
murderous warfare, the result of which would be
slow and doubtful.

This new combination of military operations
ought to lead the English into the arena. Mas-
ters of the sea, they will find themselves in com-
munication with the dissidents in possession of
the country bounded on the east by the chain
of the Ilemus, which rises above the Gulf of
Satnos, near Widdin, and where they will not
want succours of all kinds. It is thus that hopes
-may be entertained of counteracting the projects
of the Russians, and retarding their definitive
establishments on the Bosphorus.
Russia will have an interested auxiliary in the
Greeks of the Morea, but how can they commu-
nicate with them ? The latter, abandoned by
France, pressed by the English on the side of
the sea, and assailed by the ferocious bands who
follow dissatisfied Generals, will have over again
the days of calamity which European assistance
had removed, and which the inhuman and ego-
tistic policy of England bids fair to restore'.
What reflections grow out of this concourse of
circumstances !

The Bermuda Paper of the 2Sth July says,
that the courier from Miramiehi to Frederictown reports,
that a man of the name of HARE, the murderer, end an-
swering to his description, had arrived at that port, and the
inhabitants having mobbed him, he took his departure for
the United states.

HORSE POWER.—We every day hear of
steam-boats and manufactories having engines of .perhaps
20, 20, or 40-horse power; but as there probably may be
among our readers some who do not precisely comprehend
what that power means, we beg leave to explain the sub-
ject as it is now understood. The power of a harike is
considered to be that which will elevate a weight of
33,0001b5. the height of one foot in a minute of time,
equal to about 901b5.; at the rate of four miles an hour.
(Another estimate reduces this to only 22.0001b5. raised
one foot high in a minute, equivalent to 1001bs. 21 miles
per hour.) This is a force greater than that exerted by a
common cart-horse, which is not estimated at more than
701bs. ; that is to say, that a horse harnessed to a cart,
weighing with its load 40 ewt. or two tons, and drawing
on a level road at the rate of four miles an hour, makes
use of the same force as if his traces, instead of being fag-
teued to a cart, were passed over a pulley, and lifted per-
pendicularly a weight of 701bs. The expression of the
power of the steam-engine in horses' powers is come-
quently more practical than scientific. It was introduced
when steam-engines first began to supersede house-mills,
when the manufacturer naturally inquired, how many
horses a steam-engine would dispense with ?

The unhappy lady was sten by two young gentlemen, wl-o
were passing at the time in a lost, up to her neck in 04,
water, and had no sooner got out of her depth than alae
sank. One of them immediately divested himself of 4
portion of his apparel, and in the most prompt manner
plunged in after her. For some few seconds the enter-
prising young gentleman was under water, and great fears
were entertained for his safety ; but he shortly reached
the surface with the object of his search, and succeeded,
although with consi lerahle difficulty, in bringing her on
land. From the short interval in which she had been in
he water, she very soon recover ed, and was conveyed to
the house of a gentleman who witnessed the occurrence,
Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. From questions put to her, was
ascertained that disappointment in love was the cause of
her attempting the rash act. She expressed coniderahlo
contrition, and wept bitterly,
