REMARKS on IT IN one of our late London

We should be very glad to understand

because II Is not by these means that the
cause OF the Christian religion could be

Ottoman Porte? We confess we should
be more inclined to impute sucb a nro-
lect 10 desire for territorial aggrandise
ment than TO desire for the propagation
OF me gospel. We noticed Yesterday am
article in Brussels paper, in which the
necessity oil seIzlng upon the dominions
OF the Porte was enforced. A morpino
paper observes, that, in the present state
OF Tie press upon the Continent. such am
ari,cie could not have been published
without some authority. Are we then to
consider all the articles in the Brussels
papers as official? II is impossible that
we can so consider them. But hence il
becomes more indispensable on the part
OF the Neiherland government TO check
such practices. Far be it from ne to
throw doubts and suspicion upon the mo
tives of any of the European Powers.
and therefore if is that we think some
more. exI,llcit declarations, with resnecf
