FROM THE JOURNAL DU DEBAT&

PARIS, Sus. st.
• The truth makes its way wigs such difficulty through
the obscurities and contradictions of which the news
from the East have been filled since the opening of the
,campaign, that it is almost impossible, at the distance
which we are in from the theatre of events, to judge
with ce•tainty on Vein in the whole or in part.
Military operations have, at the least, both times and
places; and by this double aid their results can he in.
terpreted. Whether the details come to us from St.
Petersburgh, from Berlin, from Vienna, or from Can.
stantinople, we are not the less certain that the Turkish
inovincee are invaded, some of their fortres•es in the
power of the Russians, their right wing extended to
the frontier of Servia, Abasia occupied, and the Pacba-
lick of Ervereum on tile eve either of shutting or of
opening to the at my of Georgia the Asiatic road to
Constantinople. With respect to these leading facts
we are at all events certain. But if we treat of esti-
mating with more (Jr less certitude the elements of re-
sistance possessed by the Turks behind their mountains;
if we proceed to admit into our calculations their fana-
ticism, now stifled, but afterwards to be awakened with
energy, then the sources of our intelligence begia to
re-act on the consequences which we ought to draw
from them. From Poland the Turks ate ppresented
to us as indifferent during the present crisis. From
Austria they are painted to us as rushing to aims at
the signal of the Sultan. The strength of the. armies
increase or ditninishaccordini as we learn their num.
bets from Berlin or Vienna ; and the Balkan itself is at
one time dismantled of cannon, and at another crowned
with an immense artillery —today the seat of a starve
ing army, to-morrow a camp which is crammed with
ammunition and provisions.
It military events only present themselves to us with
data so imperfect for enabling Us to divine their reeets,
bow much more difficult must not those local political
combinations be, disentangled from the frequently in.
terested mystery•which envelopes them? In a head-
quarterevrhich reckons within it as many Ambassadors
as there are greatPower' in Europe, there are doubtless
other matters concocting besides bulletins; and from
Constantinople we learn that the same system is put,
sued, and that the Sultan has chosen his Commissatiei
from the Plenipotentiaries of Ackermann, and who:
has given his Minister of Foreign Affairs as second JO
consul and to his General-itoChief.
Under these circumstances; the journey of the Bits-
peror Nicholas to Odessa, at the very mimetic when the
most decisive action of the campaign seErnedatout to
come Oa; arkfthe invitation to follow Lis 'Nfajesty, ad-
dressed to the principal diplomatists at the camp of
Schurnla, have given rise to the idea of a negociation,
which two great European Powers urge forward by
their wishes and their efforts. But before,. perhaps, the
basis can be agreed upon, on which this negociation is
to be opened, and certainly, at the least, during the time
necessary for its being carried on, if, as every
.thing.
seems to announce, an effective armistice has suspended.
the operation of the Impels' Army against Schumla
and Varna, events will have proceeded to a denoue,
meet, and there will no longer be any necessity .for
diplomatists, in order to our knowing whether Constan
tinople be or be
,not saved this year. Now is not that
the first que.tion to be resolved; and would not its so-
lution dispense with a number at notes and counter
notes, respecting the balance of power in Europe
We confess that the conferences of Oilessi, from the
moment that the war shall conch-At:, do not appear to
us capable of producing any serious result. They will
last just long enough for Europe to know without them,
what idea is to be entertained as to thefate of 'Cur key. •
In October every thing will be cheated. Either the
Russians will be under the'irralls of Constantinople, or
they will have renounced the idea of arriving there.
In the first case, we shall, of course, have a Congress,
at which the Sultan alone will not have a repeesenta.

We have received trol/1 V ern:a, under the dati'of the

stantinople. They are much mere mi to than those

have published.
Notwithstanding the bulletins, which have continued
to beat the Russians, it is evident that the Mussulmen
have had the worst of it. The people begin to marital .
the Del vises cry, and there is teams to tear that when
the S 'crest Standard is carried forth, a general Massacre
of the Christians will accompany it. This event. whit h
the Ku:quail policy in pronouncing so decidedly five
years ago, in favour of the Cheeks, may be said to have
• produced, is almost inevitable. It was by shedding the
blood of all that was Christian that the first rage itt the
Turks, when obliged to shut themselves up in Varna,
was signalivd.
The whole of the vessels that are in the roads armed,
- or on the point . f being so, are in defect of sailors; they
are send•ng on bond its crowds whatever subjects they
can pick up in the streets, without even excepting the
Culhanes, a speces of lazzaroni that spend the'r nights
among the a•hes of the public baths. Sixteen field trains
have been t tken out of the arsenal, and dispat:hed

been marked out, its the midst of an er.tienehed enclo-
sure, if the march of the Ruslans allow him to establish

pear to have made any further progress; it will probably
c-ncenirate itself on this side of the frontiers of the pro.
vir.ce of Armenia, in order that it may advance, when
necessary or c..avenient. upon the important city of Er-
zurum. One of the Embassies of Pere has inturmed
the Sultan, that a French expedition. ot from twelve to
fifteen thousand men strong, will be fitted out at Toulon
in die month of August, with a view to invade the
Mot ea, and to drive Ibrahim and his Egyptians from it.
This news has given rise to several Councils, in which
it was di-cussed whether war should not be declared
against Fiance ? The question was not decided in the
affiimattve. but firma'ss wee dispatched to all the
Pachas of the empire, and to the commanders of mari-
time places; and lastly, to all the Officers of his High-

We Ailed in our last atticle upon the Small Note
Currency. th.t when we resumed the subject we should
" direct our attention to some of tte practical points
connected with it, which have been most perverted by
its opponents."
It is impossible not to perceive that the whole end
and aim of those who advocate the continuance of this
sptem.no matter what their professions may be, or
how much soever they may inroluntaidy dec,ive them-
.e:ves—is the introjucion of a depr coved cuttency.
Yet, .fter what has already occulted. ofer the be tto
espeatente stitch the country has hal of the come-
qu nces of the restr ction t f 1797. it is surely di matter
f deep regret to think there should be any influential
mbers t f the legislature prepared to urge a re
cursetice to such a system—a system voich, some, or
tatet. is certain to produce the most calamitous results.
Can we forget the sufferings which the country en
dured from that system—sufferings which it is sr. t
hazarding tiro much to say, are even still partially
rvlt ? Can we banish from • ur recollection the sort of
intoxication which prevailed from 1797 to 1815, in ad-
ventures and enterprises e f the wildcat character ? To
atha.t, we ask, did these owe their origin, but to the
paper system ?

It is contended that the national debt was contracted
in a deprecta:ed currency.—Granted. The country
conic, not Ite'p it.eit—it bad no choice: but was it ni,t
Aso conttac ed under a solemn pledge from Parliament
that a sound currency should he restored within is
months after the termination of the war ? This, too,'
must be wanted as well as the former p 'sition: and
n having redeemed that pledge—not indeed to the
stria letter of tile engagement in p ii:t e f time—but
having actis illy returned to a sound currency, in
Heatte•t's tame, why think of retracing our steps, n
re adopting a mischief, for which we have no longer the
SA me plea-that of hard necessity?
To prevent the circulation itf small notes i, an act, as
has been more than once insisted on, no less of huma-
nity than of sound policy. We have already shown to
what perils the po ,rer classes ate filmed by the on•
limited circulation of small notes by country bankers;
and we now affirm, that the country bankers themselves
will be safer than at preset.t, v ith I circulation of notes.
none of them lower its value than fire pounds; for such
notes would, of course, get chiefly into the hands in
peto.us less bk. ly to be acted nom by an unfounded
panic than t•te holders of one pound notes. We ate
aerate that the power i f citculatiug one pound notes
existed before 1797; but it was n t exercised to any
constd rable.extents The power. thought recognised by
law, had not received the sanction of cuttorn and prac

lice. 11 is, thereftne, both wise and just to attempt to
go back to the point at which we sto .41 previously to
the ttnk restriction of 1797, ani to limit the amount
of the uur pound note ciisulation.
