The subject f deliberation among the
Diplomatic water driiikers at Carlsbad - for delibeta
tion of a political kind. it is still insisted tittle has been'
though not perkips invested with all the formality of
a regular Congress—is now said to have been, n•.t the
preservatio►. t the Spanish, bur—tie partition of the
Tarktrh rioninions It is stated, that to induce Austria
to join t..e spoliation, she had bren -offered the pro-
♦inces i f Albania. Servie, and Bosnia, and that the
late c!is,ioii Canitnl Gamines into Servi 4, by which
he lost his life. had an intimate connection with the
design. Some difficulties, it seems, however, were
started by others of he Powers which e' cannot kret
over,"—and so, "for the present," this notable prdject
has been laid asleep, almost as coin as it is coaceived.
—The ►act we veril► believe is, that the story, from
first t.. last, is an entire fiction, and never had any
other foundation, than in fiat dearth of real events—
or more properly speaking of real calamity—which
is ever sure to set the genius f mischief at work, to
agitate, by false and evil-stirring rumours, that tran-
quillity which it would fain, but sickens to find it
cannot destroy. With respect, in the first place, to
the only one matter of fact which is made subservient
to the veri.imilitade of this fancied scheme of parti-
tion—it is quite certain, that so far from Curtin
Gconatis having gone iato Silvia, under tto direc-
tion, acid to serve certain views of Austriei:,he went
thither in direct opposition to most poritiie iojunc-
tions issued by the Austrian Government, to prevent
his crossing into the Tuekish territories.

In i late article from Vienna, it was stated, that
as soon as the Austrian Gi.vernment received intelli-
gence that Gaoaoas had come into Gallicia from
Russia, orders were immediately issued to the pro-1
per authorities to keep the strictest watch over him,
and on no account to allow him to pass into Turkey
through the Austrian territories ; and'that it was by
false passports he had found means to evade the vigi-
lance of the Authorities, and cross the Danube into
Sonia. So much, then, for the mission of Cann
Guar:in--the only real circumstance in the case.
And as to the political grounds on which this scheme
of partition may be supposed to rest, we presume
it is unnecessary to say much. Russia—for it is
Russia, which is always pointed to as the great mover
in the business, made, we are told, a peace with
Turkey, which was, disadvantageous, because 't
forced Russia to surrender so many square leagues of
territory. But what is territory to Russia ?. Are not
her dominions already by far too widely extended ?
Does not this empire already groan under its un-
wieldy bulk; and for what should farter
useless territory be desir,d, of no strert§th ?
The a wandizement of Russia lies ila4eittliera. d
aorhertic improvement; her poiicy is to Ciatiiite
-ant
ber own half-desert territories, in place 8f desolating
those of other countries; to enlighten her own half-
oyhar, us population ; to train diem to industry and
to the arts of civil lite.; to improve the structure of
society within her err Ore by emancipating the great
bass of the Comoro, mLy from oppressive bondage;
and by thus subst!it.Lioig for the coats masterials which
(DRUM the different orders et Lit- subjects, those
mid relations which prevail in more enlightened

communities, and which, by softening harsh &tine:
time, and breaking down the barriers which separate
dif•rent classes, have imparted to modern saciety its
moils tone and c Inuring. By pursni.ig those
cts Russia will be truly great, and will acquire
more real and durahle p wer than by projects of fo-
reign conquest, while si,e will teach her subjects paci-
fic habits, and will thus give tie world sane addi-
tional security for the continuance of that peace which
is so necessary to repair the mischief occasioned by
the recently-concluded wars
