WAR WITH TURKEY.

War is at last declared on the part of Russia against
the Ottoman Porte, and no one will presume to calculate
beforehand all the consequences which must necessatily
be the result of this momentous event ! In both the
Manifesto of war and the Declaration to the European,
Powers, the Cabinet of Russia strongly points out the
very mischievous and injurious effect which the arbitrary
closing of the Bosphorus cannot fail to have on the
commerce and prosperity of the SJuthern Provinces,
actually *most valuable part of the Russian Empire.
This is certainly one of the most solid giounds on which
Rossia will attempt to act, not only in invading the
Christian Provinces of Moldavia, Wallachia, and Ser.
via, where its approach is hailed by delight, not only
by the great mass of the inhabitants, but also those
Plovinces'where Islamism prevails; and we may pre-
dict that it will not rest satisfied till it has planted its
baolter on the Patriarchal Church at Constantinople.
Every thing indicates the conquest of the capital of the
Turkish Empire to be the plan of the Russian Govern-
ment ; and in what other manner, indeed, can that
Cabinet secure to itself the undisturbed development
of the commerce and industry of her Provinces of the
Black Sea, but by keeping hold of that key whieb alone
secures the natural communication between those
countries and the rest of Europe, and the possession of
which will yield to her that direct influence upon the
Councils of the new Greek Government, to which she
thinks herself entitled on the score of policy, religion,
and tuitional sytr pathy.
The politkal existence of the Ottoman Empire is at an
end ; her power is broken, and we apprehend she will
not sow with that assistance and devout support in the
patriotism of her subjetts, which alone might, in her
boor of trial, impede in some degree the progress of her
enemy. The present SULTAN, by attempting to refines
so many institutions, which the mass of his people con-
sidered as the hula ark of their national existence, has
thrown the seed of discord and disaffection amongst
them, and their antipathy increased with his deviation
from the internal policy observed by his ancestors.—

sepabled in the Capital. for the purpose of making
