The Porte seems resolved 10 fulfil its desti-
nv, and rush into war. A proclamation like
that of March 800 has been issued by the
Sultan, declaring Islamism in danger, and cal
ling OH oil Mussulmen to arms. The demons
OF bloodshed have not been evoked in vain :
the h..so: dils have been loosed 10 the wind,
and l00, 900 Aslatics are stated to be in full
march to Europe The Pacha of Egypt, the
most powerful teudatory Of the Sultan, has
been summoned 10 give all mis- aid to the reprs-
sentative of the prophet But Mehemet Ali
will not be Suffered to float his swarthy bands
to Greece, or Southern Turkey; if his Arabs
nngle in the combat they must crsss the de.

Mahmoud has dared as yet no act o. hostility;
he seems resolved not 10 strike the first blow;
but lists of prescription have issued, which IN.

III vain. 1t is question, however, whether
the lives ofthc Europeans would be safe on the
arrival of the Asiatc horde Those rufhan
bands in l520 spread murder and pilage along
their whole line of march, they massacred
without mercy in Smyrna and Constantlnaple,
and it is therefore better that the subjects OF
the three Powers should be deported, than re-
main at the risk of being butchered in cold
blood Russia is not insenslblc TO these pro-
ceedings: Wttgenstein is concentrating his
force. and the Polish army, the elite of the
Russian troops, is in march TO the Pruth.
Poland now forms the van of Russia, her
national existence has been recognized she
has her own laws, her own language, X her
territory free from the charge of other troops
she has obtained a great dminuton, OF her
ilnposts, and her revenue is applied to the i'm
provoment of her own soil, and the repara'

moud iniagines that he can choose the field OF
combat, he will find himself mistaken. The
Russians will mask the iortresses on the Dan.

Mamoud may have to fight for empire and ex.

troops are about To be withdrawn from Portu.
gal We should not be surprised If, with the
consent of our Allies, British force to the
same amount was sent to clear the Mnrca oi
any remnant of the barbarians, and secure At
tica and the Pcloponnesus against attack
The policy ofsuch an expedition must, how
ever, be governed by circumstances.
