A report prevails on 'Change this morning, that
after the Russian ultimatuth was rejected, the Turks
started a new proposition, on which the diplomatic
cl:aracters are debating, and which it is supposed may
I:.Et for some time before they come to a conclusion.

T:.e next arrivals from the Contitient are eagerly
c:pected, as it is supposed they will bring decisive

•
intelligence as to the affairs of Russia and Turkey ;

as stell as some account of the ulterior operations of
CIiOCRSCHID PACHA, a"ter his aims, so long occu-

pied in beiieging Joannina, bad been relieved by the

fall c: ALI Etat*. In the absence of positive in.

formation, conjecture is always busy ; and some of

our cotemporaries still speculate on peace, because
war has not already been declared, as was imme-
diately expected from the Note said to have been
transmitted by the Reis Effendi to the English and
Austrian Ambassadors, on the 28th of February.—

But although that Note was sufficiently indicative of

the hostile disposition of the Porte, it at the same time

declared that the Porte was not at war with Russia,

notwithstanding all her provocations; and that, if the

latter Power should commence hostilities, she had

taken means to repel them. The onus of declaring

war was thus left to Russia, unless the Emperor
ALEXANDER should modify his demands. This, of

course, would require a reference from the Russian
Ambassador to his Court, and sufficient time for its
decision has not yet elapsed.

That the negotiations are for the present suspended
ve have no doubt ; though we have no positive in-

formation either from Lord STrutriorrono or from
the Austrian Minister that their interference had been
unavailing. The rejection of that interference by the
Porte does not, as some of our cotemporaries seem to
think, render it a necessary or even a probable :on-
sequen ce that the Ambassadors should quit Constan-

tinople. Great Britain and Austria may for some'
time avoid engaging in the struggle, but we believe
it will sooner or later embroil ail the Powers of
Europe : since there is scarcely a single State from
Austria and Poland down to the most petty German
rincipality,that is not dissatisfied with its Government.
—ln Austria, where the people dare scarcely breathe
their feelings and opinions, discontent is almost uni-
versal : the Prussians are disgusted with the faithless
promises that have been from time to time made to
them, of a Representative Government. In Italy,
force alone keeps down the spirit of-opposition to the
iron yoke of Austria which prevails. In Naples and
Sicily, the Government is still afraid of trusting
either to its character or authority ; and the edicts of
the Sovereign are carried into effect by the bayonets
of the Austrians.

In France, the people are so far from getting recon-
ciled to the BovaEols, that provinces long distin.
Fished for their unalterable attachment to the fa-
mily are the foremost in expressing their discontent;
and men without means sufficient to disturb the
tranquillity of an ordinary village calculate so largely
on the spirit of discontent which pervades the coun-
try, as to attempt to ovettkrow the Government
with a band of school-boys, or a file of fifty men ;
and although the plots are discovered and defeated,
yet The principals arc never given up, but left at large
to form new conspiracies, and again speculate on the
weakness and unpopularity of the Government.
Such being the state of Europe, it is easy to per-
ceive how much force the discontent would gather
from war ; and how probable it is that the People
would seize on such in opportunity to rise against
the Powers that oppress them. The Holy Alliance
may endeavour to stifle public opinion, and while
the world is at peace, transfer their legions to crush
the Pecile of any State who dare to think for them-
selves; but let the tocsin of war be once sounded in
Europe, their unhallowed league would be dissolved,
we trust never again to be united.
