Lowrie' all thane, therefore, to occupy the minds
of such as dellibsis dabbling in the 61th and villainy
of the Borgne Courts, let us teke a view of the die-,
putt. and ofits probable constitute:lces, in their bear-
ings epos no. Stripped of ell the flatumery, hypocrisy
stud pomposity of State papers, the Autocrat of Rus-
sia hes quarrelled with the Tork, became the Turk
has adopted some very severe and very ferocious sea-
sures towards his soldects of Greece, who are Cbris-
Goes of the Grecian chords, to which church it pleases
the Reasisa to belong. In abet degree the treatment
of the Greeks by the Ticks, differs from the treatment
of a weaker sister kingdom by a stronger sister king-
dom, which might be named, it may cot be se very
easy to ascertain, sewing that no predse intelligence
appears to hart reached this country, as to the mirth
eater number of hours, that the Turks sailer the
Greeks to be out of their houses, without bd.; liable
to be transported for the offence. We have heard of
great cruelties practised tithe Turks epos the Ca-
tholics of liners, sod we most abominate the condnct
of the Turks; but it is by en means eertaiu shot the
King of the Coesults has the must pare objects is
view, in his quarrel with these same Tasks. In
short. that man most be pretty tench of a fool wbe
can be made to believe, that it is a love of justice, of
humanity, and, above all things, a love of
,freedern.
which has put, or is potting, the armies of Raven in
movemrat; such a man mast have welly forgotten
Po!and, and, indeed, have forgotten every war in
which Russia has ever been engaged.
The parties to this war, then, are, in point of mo-
rality, and In point of state polity also, perfectly upon
a level. And, therefore, the only question with an
Englishman is, or ought to be, the success of which of
Meta is likely to ite least injetrioes to England : And,
there can be Act doAitt, in the mind of acy man that
reflects, that England ought to wish for the success of
the Turk. Let no one attempt to persuade us that
reit:hut hes say thing to' do aith-the matter. If it
had, the Tork's religion has nothing in it more es-
nodally hostile to ours, than has the religion of the
Autocrat. Out Chase!) protests against the religion
of the Autocrat, and calls it dcausalk ; and though
the religioa of the Turk may be very bad, it certainly
cannot be worse Mae dannwitle Let us east this
consideration aside, therefore; let as get rid of this
mesas of delusion; and look at the thing it its true
light ; namely, as a thing that may effect our imme-
diate in , and our percnanest interests and power;
bearing in mind, that no nation has ever been fool
enough sot to pursue these objects, though to be se-
cured by the amity or assistance of those whom it
calls ittiLlels. The Americans are an titularly pious
people= hot, when Mr. .41,1111E0N (them President
of the United States) foetid that the interest of his
country required a !nag of amity with the Deg of
Algiers, he bad no scruple to declare, " that there
rt was nothing is the constittatiou of the United States
0 hostile to the Alarketnedon realists." To be sore,
Repahlicose. like the puritans in Iludibras, are al-
hewed grease liberties of conacieuce than oilier peo-
ple; bat if Mr. Jsereasote could go this length, sad
with the approbatiou of so pious a people, we are,
surely, sot to be bound so our rain, or, at least, to oar
great injury by an over-scrupulonsoess with regard
to this same matter of religion.
Leaving religion, then, eat of the question, we ,
shall find, It is firmly believed by all men of cues s on
sense, that the objects of the Antocnt are these ;
namely, to invade a part of the Tark's dominions; to
conquer and fe bold thou dominions ; to got and keep!
possession of several commodious sea ports in the;
niters part of the Mediterranean; to keep up Stout ;
leen la that part of the world ; to be able to make a
formidable opposition to Realised in that quarter;!
sad, in conjenctioa with the Americas's, in case of
,war with Ragland, to master the Reglish in the Me-
&ermine en. This is the plain view of tie matter;
and, we soy be well assured, that. religion and the
deliverance of the Greeks have so more to do with
the matter, thus relightsn and the deliveranne of the
French had MO wilt the movements of the lastly
Mitten.
What Beillehntaa caressay thing about the lurk?
But, le Tarte, at present, pretests the Autocrat from
erecting the objects just erantiowed; and, therefore,
common Hese tells as that England ought to be for
the Turk. It is oar llOAL____illf•A to preserve our power;
sad sot to siak dove into a little pitiful insignificant
state. Our great Staiennen hare keen so busy in
building bareacks at boom, and in filing the nanber
of square incise, of paper to be contained in a six-
penny pamphlet, that they have not had time to be-
stow on thinking about the constantly growing fiendl
ship and constantly strengthening ties between the Au-

dearest friends in the world; nothing is neglected tbat
can teed to further their conjoint interests. There is
a large and most formidable deet growing tna on the
other side of the Atlantic. At present there is little
point of contact between that and the force of the
Autocrat; but, let him base ports in tire Mediterra-
nean ; end, in case of another war, those rights, their
maritime rights, nithout which England must ba de-
feated in any war with Prance. Spain and Gotland, or
