Inost active measures for the war in En.
rope. OF the Russian treaty less ap-
pears than before, and the national con-
Germs seem to interfere with any expeeta-
tons of important interference in the
qreat controversy between France and
England. While Russia has been busy
ia is attempts toforce lis troops into the
northern parts oil, Persia, We are assured
that the resistance has been worthy Of.
better DAYS, and that the Persians do not
resist the last drfence Of their country.
Il is represented that Turkey Is more
yielding and the Russians encroaching,
nut no facts have yet been published
which discover late violation of the
: Turkish territory. The Russians con-
template not only the trade of the Medi-
and ofthe Black and Caspian
Seas, but have repeatedly examined the
waters Of Aral and B4ikal, and Of few
seas do no accurate surveys exist. They
also look towards the recovery Of their
ancient trade to China, free from the re-
straints which il now finds AZ Kaishta. 1t
is even said, that previous measures
have been concerted, which have obtains
ed assurances Of the best success. In
accomplishing such great objects, we
have nothing 70 cause our surprise at the
conduct of Russia in, European affairs.
In regard TO Turkey, predictions CONT
nue. 10 be made that such country as its
European provinces contain, cannot
long continue in its present defencsless
state. Situated in the most happy man.
ier for commerce, and lmostnecessary
for the greatest nations Of Europe, the
temptation 70 seize and possess them, is
almost irresistible. The northern pro-.
vinces continue IN the greatest internal
confusion. The Austrians and Russi-s
ans discover the stateyof Macedonia and
The Morea, and the extreme timidity Of
the Porte strengthens his enemies.
The last accounts from Egypt gave Cal
70 TO the Beys, so that Egypt il no lon
ger under the Ottoman power, unless
continusd wars re store is The condi.
ton Of Syria is not represented as CON-
Portable, and the new powers of Arabia
contribute 10 theuncertain state ofthings,
inthese countries. In regard to the
new kingdom of Italy, its limits appear
not 70 be sfttIed. II is suspected that
several Of the neighbouring states will
be united to it from the various causes
which their late revolutions have put in
action, so that ofthe increase of this new
kingdom few doubts are entertained. In
regard to Spain, aspirit ofwar pervades
every part ofthe kingdom. The Spani.
ards have entered into the system Of the
French gln-boats, and their naval pre-.
parations are extensive and important.
The co-operationTof the French and Spa.
fniards against Gibraltar is announced as
the full discrimination Of the TWO powers,
and nothing indicates ielsy in any mea-
sures for the most vigorous exertions.
The asets at sea determine that both ma.
tons are resolved to meet the English
upon the element in whichthey have dis
played The greatest glory And as-e-.
vent has yet contributed 10 retard their
naval arrangements. Il is believed tina,
the Brest feet is ready for sea. Indeed
that all their naval arrangements were
ready at the first sailing of the squadron
for the West Indies. In this crisis all
Europe is in full expectation Of some
most interesting events. The aeetwhich
arrived at Martinico, had sailed from
that island after delay, which the 6rsr
squadron most cautiously avoided. The
destination Of the Beet no conjecture can
reach. What English fleets will follow
them into to those seasis still uncertain.
II appears doubtful whether any part Of
the English channel fleet did attempt 10
follow them. The West India Heet
under convoy which sailed from En-.
gland in April, had put to Cork, in Ire
land, in May. The troops in ireland
were under orders to march to Cork
The existence Of the French feet upon
the high seas, is an event so new and inn
portant, thar We maybe sure Of the most
speedy information Of every. interesting
occurrence. The Dutch fieets had the
