On the 7th of May, at four in the morning, the
'Russian army was to cioss the Pruth, and the first
cannon shot will announce to Europe and Asia that the
approaching dis.olution of the Ottoman Empire, and
the downfall of that Throne of the dynasty of OSMAN,
which had already been tottering horn the moment
when Rossia entered into the ranks of the civilized nations
of the occident: Of Europe. A (pestl, will be put this
'evening to Ministers telativeto the affairs in the I?. ist, and
a question of deep import indeed it is. The legions of
Russia are now marching with rapid steps towards the
Capital of the Turks, the seat of then Padish to, and of the
defender of Islatobn. What, next to the will of Puo-
vmatice, can and will prevent ahem from executing
this enterprise, so replete wit:, consequences of, the'
highest magnitude? Since the general imutrection of
the Greek nation, the power of the Porte has been bro.'
ken and its resources have become drained ; but for the
faithful exertions of one of its vassals, the Master of
Egypt, the traces of its armies would long ago have
dis-
peered even before the it regular forces of its revolted
subjects. Russia advances through countries, of which
the immense majmit sr of the inhabitants are ont e• el ) de.
voted to her cause. Tire Turks in the Provinces of Rome-
Bulgaria. Set via, and Bosnia, form scoicely a fourth
part of the Christian population ; the peopottion of
their number to the latter is calcula..ed to be like 3 14ths
to one. Thus the approach of the liberating 'armies'
ili everywhere be hailed with the same joy *Melt the
Armenians of Persia have lately manifested to the
I world. And what besides has Russia to apprehend
from demonstrations on the Continent of Europe? Al:
ieady do we see the Cabinet of Prussia backed by an
army of 500,000 men, declaring to the European Powers
its adhesion to the measures adopted by Russia against the
Posere, and that it would not see with indifference Russia
disturbed in the exercise of its tights. Austria, the only
Power in that past of the Continent which might have
proved an off ethic cheek against the plans of her neigh-
bour,is thus frustrated in her designs, and the fate of Con-
stantinople is decided. We hear, indeed, it often repeated
that the treaty of the 6th of Juiy will not be' abandoned
by either patty of the hien contracting Powers, or, to
speak more explicitly, that the ArticlerV..of this me-
rnorahle document is still in force, and which declares
that the contracting Powers will not seek in their
arrangements (i. e. respecting Greece) any augmen-
tation of territory, any exclusive influence and
commercial advantage for their subjects, which the
stitjects of other nations may not equally obtain :"
but how differeot the situation of Turkey iu its rela.
lions to Russia, to what it was when that Treaty was
signed ? The character of she Mediator has given way
to the claims of a formidable hostile power ; every step
forwards will lead to new claims and to new preten-
sions, and the Ottoman 2orte will be crushed, eye any
itatous policy can lend her its aid. With the passes Of
Ithe Ararat, Persia has lost her independence, and with
the conquest of Constantiuople, the fate of the Ottoman
Empire is sealed.

The private accounts received at Paris from Lisbon
of the id May, state, that two Councils of the Ministry
were held, to determine if the Regent should or should
not be proclaimed King, but no final decision had taken
place when the express left the above capital, and the
Regent had not proclaimed himself King at that period,
but it was expected that he would proclaim himself on
the bth or istli May. The official auxdfc is filled with
