LACED the people Of Wallachia and Mol

countries with their unjust treasures,
the fruit of their rapacity and tyranny.

The RESULT and not the PROBA-
BlLlTY, of war between Russia and
the Turks, must now be the subject of
speculation. The Moslems, from the
Sultan TO the slave, are both infatuated
and infuriated. They seem to exult
over the severed and CHASTITY head of
Ali, as if, when it ceased to plot mis-
chief, the spirit of the Greeks and the
ambition of Alexander had been ami
hllated. Under those circumstances.
we doubt not but the Turks will fight
desperately, but in them appears also a
pretty certain presage of their final
overthrow.
1t is not extravagant to anticipate
that Russian GOVERNOR will ere long
take up his abode in st. Sophia-and
that power, whose dominions already
glrdle half the globe, and are washed
by nearly twenty seas, and inhabited by
almost hundred different nations, will
push her domination into that fair Pc

regard to the mere change in temporal
matters. we know not whether Russian
subjugation Would do any thing for the
Greeks but we are sure that it would
relieve them from monstrous load of
religious oppression
This is all that the fondest dreamer
OF human happiness can indulge, as re-

the Turks by Russia for we must not
hope that Greece is Immediately TO be-

becomes free, she will be restored TO
her pristine grandeur. 1t is not in the
nature of Russia to conquer for other
nations. She has already come, not as
an eagle to rend the prey, but as
vnlture to feed upon the dead carcass.
She clutched Finland through the
rise Of Napoleon, and grasped Poland
a second time at his fall.

The Turks, elated by their success
over Ali Pacha, appear to have thrown
OIL all prudential care, and it is said
have refused the Russian ultimatum.
That this IS exactly what the Muscovsites
wish, no one, we think, will doubt.

States, contrives to get early intell-

to be preparing his golden forces for
campaign, and has sold out largely
from the English funds, which, together
with many other corroborating circum-
stances, induce very general belief
that the Russian troops will soon APP
