have gathered enough 10 convince Us that

prompt and prrenp'ory the measure may

the dagger has not entirely disappeared, -
Had the revolt been confined to the capl

81 every division Of the amy IN almost ev-
cry quarter of the Empire-rasing at once
IN ~. Petersburg, at Kew, IN Bcssarabh
AID ~ Georgia. Some of the highest mo-
bity, many generals and an immense mass
Of inferior officers, have been arrested
These arrests may check the progress OF
rebellion, but they cannot destroy the ten
deDcy. Ofihe precise object of the eou-
-plrraCy, nothing certain IL yet known
somelrttrrs assert IL 10 have been the es-
tabl.hment Of a new form of government,
others division ofthe empire-and some
deal IN vague hlots of achievements and
assassinatiuus. W. cannot speak as To the
truth Of either of these rpmOgrs, since we
arr ignorant whether they are founded on |
discoveries, confessions -. Con]retnres. All
that can be- accurate y known Is, tina. there
WAS revolt and Danger, aud that the revolt |
nod danger sill rxist. Thu army of the |
South has not yet entirely Submitted, AID
several corps base refused to take the oath |
II fidelity to the nea Emperor. The be |
lief 81 whlch seems TO have extended most |
widely in Europe Is, that Nicholas has IN
uinaied to the different governments the
Necessity he IS under of making common
Cause wuh Greece a the only means ot
preserving the allegiance of his army and
securing himscf ou the imperial throEe.-
The report IS probably true, that We may |
take il ipr lanted. Nothing could more
cffpctuaIy silence the murmurs, aud mltl-
gate the disah.ction Of the army than
, war; aud Ia = ku,sIan army, no war
could be more agreeable than Que against
Turkey. " Il is almost says one oi In"
letters a religious idea among the Rus
sian soldiers" An ancient gruge against
thr Inks. the long cherished ambition OF
Possessing tonstanllnoplc, and religious
pymraihy with tbe Greeks, arr power tul |
aud sdiiicirnt motives. However cause
less may br the grudg", aud however de-
lrnsiple the amblllon, yet thr sympathy Is
neither virIous nor unh.Coulag. Ii may |
he more than surmised that thu possession
nf the Ottoman throne was one of thr
hrbrs which induced Constantine To VII
ness 10 silence and submls inn the ascent |
If a yaunger brother. Z lltical prophe-
cles are someiitne haL 1duus, bat we

Constantine before louB will nsurp some
more Oriental title thao that ot Vicr-Ro

lioos. ilahtnated Ia war, MI within few
years and from his youth, aud always
taught to look upon the Sullau's throne as
sort at possible inheritance. II is scarcely |
possible that ne " vi tamrly suffer the pre-
Sent opportunity OF g'aeplng II tn escape
Nithunt a struggle. Nicholas Is honest |
well meaning, bat slpguld'ly tlmid, lnde-
cisl,e aud uresunte. HdIrassed by the
agitations ot his army and h0onns no o.

tam that he vii submit 10 the course of |
the stream. And what Is there tn prevent
the Russians from defeating and snbinga
ting the Turks ? In the numbers aud |
strength OF Dh-st latter--nothing. The on
is sufficient halwari of Turkey is that mo-
raj hnlnmk which is to he found in the
wisdom OF the fears of the other European |
powers Austria will never quietly aequl-

| thms ri the personal politics of Great Ba-
! tain, will hrli.ve that his mission is DOT
confined IN one of mere coincidence aud
congratulation. France has a more re-
mote interest IN the affair, but il is scarce
/ ly probable she will lose this chance of
- feeding fat" her hatred of Russia by
Withholding the check of her opposition
10 any new accessions OF strength aud in
huence to the already oyergrown Colossus
Of the north. Prussia, though her true
interest hes the other way, may perhaps
on account of her family connection with
Russia, faculty ahet such a war. But that
war, come when it may, will be the f ui'
FIJI mother Of many other wars--extendns
TO every other power IN Europe.
