We mus st imagine from the contradictory
accounts, &c. which we have received from
Europe, that the long talked of war between
Russia and Turkey IS approximating to its cri-
81, III fact. from the time Alexander first at
tempted to operate against the Porte, it has
been nothing but a combustion of threatening

IN believe that effective operations VIII sPeeoiy

Th editor of the London Courier, lmaSineS
from the protracted state of things, between
russia and Turkey, that the former dare NOT
carry his views into effect, without the co,nci-
aence of the Allied Powers. We must sup
nose from the almost voluminous accounts re-
ceived of ~couriers passing and repassing, De-
tween the courts of Vienna, Petersburg and
the Ottoman Government, that his observe
tons may be considered partially correct. But
we anticipate the result win be YEAR, a bloody
s,ar. withoutthe assistance of any of his noble
allies. One would imagine from all accounts
that the Emperor's intention was for Peace,
but the unsuitable desire of ambition feeds up
ON him as much, or more, than it did upon the
vitals of Napoleon.
