Though the Ostonsan Manifesto had appeared, men
with confined views contended that the question was
still the same—that of Greece and the Treaty of My..
We, however, do not hesitate to consider it a declaration
of war against Russia ; and we may believe that hOs-
tilities base either lOW aimed, or are on the point of

commencing. •
Some persons, however, wish to persuade themselves
that sheungovernable genius of Mahmoud, under the,
influence of fear. will abandon its pretensions to. Greece,
And will leave France, England, and Austris free to
regulate the movements which • lead the inhAlsitants of
the !men bank; of.tl;e Neva towards the convenient
clima'e of Ram lia, and the opulent shores of the Bos•
pbotus.- The. people of Mabmoud, are, however, ac-
customed to see in Greece a portion of sacred tertitory ;

• If France be,directed- by a great and wise policy, she
may play a magnanimous part, worthy of her great-
ness. It would suffice to allow England to finish the
affairs of Lisbon, rather than to unciectake the eufran-
