LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1829.

We have no further intelligence from the seat

of V. ar, but the general opinion now inclines to

le probability that the army of DIEBITSCH is

by this time in possession of Constantinople.
For this opinion there is abundant reason, judg-
ing by the ordinary rules of war. At the
end of July the Russians were within little more

lan one hundred miles of the capital; and if

they decided upon keeping up the terror which their
rapid march and astounding victories had created,
they would at once move on Constantinople, which
they might easily reach in a week. If an army—
that is the heterogenous multitude of Constan-
tinople—dared to meet them in the field, the ulti-
mate conquest of the capital would be rendered
more easy, from the certain discomfiture of those
who had compromised its defence by hazarding a
preliminary battle in the open field. Even the
SULTAN himself, with his chosen guard of
15,000 or 20,000 men, animated by his Im-

perial presence, and the shadow of the Holy
Standard, would little avail against soldiers who

had marched so far in one uniform career of
victory, where victory was considered impossible,
The 'Russians would besides fight with the se•
curity of a safe retreat—for the strong holds or

the coast are in their possession.
On the otlier hand, if General DIEBITSCII
should think it more prudent first to take Ad-
rianople, what is to prevent him ? The Turks
who were to have defended that place, were de-

feated at Aidos—and those who could escape
with their lives, were hardly allowed time
afterwards to rally. At Adrianople, General
DIEEITSCH would very probably be joined
by General GEISMAR, who had, sonic con-

siderable time before, marched on Sophia,
from which he would proceed to Philippolis,
and either march on Adrianople or towards
the coast, as circumstances might warrant.

If GEISMAR proceeded towards the Darda-
nelles, he could act in conjunction with the
Russian fleet—seize the forts, and open dpassage
to the Sea of Martnora, while the fleet in the
Black Sea would enter the Bosphorus, and make
a conjoint attack on Constantinople, while
DIEBITSVII pressed it on the land side.
This view of operations may appear too bold,
but we think it not at all improbable, from a
consideration of all the circumstances of the
war, and the relative position of the respective
forces. The capture of Constantinople must of
course form Ohl main object of the Russians.
That once obtained, all the others would fall in
is a matter of course. But when the Russians
once get there, hpw changed will be their tone
Then, and not till then, will England and France
find out that they have been deceived by Rus-
sian promises, and overreached by diplomatic
allress.

The next news from Constantinople must be
looked for with intensity, proportioned to the
importance of a crisis so near at hand. It is
