Constantine, if we except Adrianople,
! which, for the sake of effect, they may leave
unreduced in the rear. Burgas is not more
than hundred miles from Constantnople,
short distance, when it is considered the
immense extent that the Russians have al
ready marched, and the great natural i'm
pediments which they have surmounted.
1t is true that, if the Turks possess the en-
thusiasm and love of country for which
they were anciently so much distinguished,
they may still make most formidable re-
sstance but this does not appear to be
the case. The levy en- maSSe, it is said, is
very sluggshly executed, the people tak-
ing aims only in those districts where there
are troops enough to compel them to mill
tary service; and of volunteers there are
very few, if any at all. This, it is true, is
the Russian version of the state of things in
Turkey, but there is reason to believe that
1t Is pretty correct. Such being the case,
the question is whether Russia will forego
the glorious opportunity of conquering Tur-
key, her ancient and inveterate enemy,
merely because one or two of the great Eu-
ropean Powers may declare war against
her! For our part we are inclined TO an
swer No. The Emperor Nicholas knows
that England will avoid war, if possible,
for obvious reasons. He must see how in
disposed the people of France are to thwart
his views, however contrarily disposed the
Court may he. He is we'll aware that Aus
| tra is too poor TO declare war without the
assistance ofEngland while Prussia, there
can be little doubt, will enter into his views,
provided she is allowed to share the spoil.
1t may be said, however, that Russia is I'M
der engagements not to press things to ex-
ttropoitio, FNbia bo fbo -
not; but, whether it be so or not, we ap-
prehend that she will not find it difficult to
evade or break through such engagements
I When Russia involved England and France
IN the treaty of the 9th July, it was certain
ly not expected, nay, it must have been
tacitly understood, that, when she assumed
the character of mediating Power, she
would not act as belligerent. But this
she did do; and in doing this she certainly
acted with bad faith. AS for what has
been said about the Haiti Sheriff, of the
Turks justifying her conduct, we shall only
observe that we look upon it as a mere ex-
cuse, and a very paltry one too. The bat
tie of Navarino was an event which ought
to have excused little big talk on the part
of the Turks. Taking all circumstances
into consideration, we must say that, in our
humble opinion, it is not very probable that
Russia will seriously speak of peace till she
has planted the Eagle on the walls of Con-
stantinople and what sort of peace she
will then propose it will not be difficult to
imagine"
FRANCE. The new French Ministry ap
pears to be far from settled. Ii is violently
opposed by the whole liberal party, who
accuse it of being the creature of British
influence. Admiral de Rigny has refused
to accept the place for which he has been
designated, or to join it. NJ. Mangin had
i; been appointed project of police, which had
given very general offence. The Courier
of the 18th ult. says, cit the ministry re-
mains in state of inactivity, which might
be mistaken for hesitation in the midst of
the furious attacks of its enemies These
are SO incessant, so fierce, and so unani-
g nous, that the cutlery appears universal
Meanwhile the Moniteur is silent, and were
it not for the solitary voice of the Gazette
de France, the ministry would not have one
word said in IFS favor. Wha: must be the
issue OF such state of things, if it be per-
mitted to continue, cannot be long doubt
full" The liberal journals of Paris were
already loud in expressing their belief that
there would soon be another revolution in
) the ministry. The ministry was acknowl-
edged to be in minority in the Chamber
of Deputies.
ALGIERs. The Dey had received a
French cartel with much cordialtv, decar-
ing that he should be happy to have all DIFF
ferences terminated. He thought that the
prisoners had been so we'll treated that they
would be unwilling to return to France, if
permitted.
In consequence of these prelminaries.
Il the Provence, French ship, was to enter
F the bay of Algiers, the 9th July, and I'M
mediately open the negotiations with which
her commander is charged. Many persons
are of opinion, that the overtures will be
unsuccessful, and that the Dey is only en-
deavoring to gain time, in order that the
fine season having passed, it may be impos-
sible to lombard Algiers this year.
t LATE FROM THE PACIFIC. The shin
, Orbit arrived at Baltimore on Tuesday last.
in the short passage of65 days from Valpa-
} raise, bringing advices from that quarter to
J the 18th Of July.
: A revolution in Lima, in favor of the b.
, llvian party, took place in the evening of
) the fifth of June, and was carried without
bloodshed. Gen. Gamarra was made Pres
! ident, and La Fuientes Vice President !;
the former is from Cuzco, and the latter
. from Arequipa. It's the general impress
sion that the first act of the new govern
ment will be to repeal the prohibition of
Flour, Domestics, Soap, Tobacco, &c., as n
, popular measure. A dreadful accident
happened at Guayaqui. The Presdente
trigate Of GO guns, was blown up, and near
200 men were lost-the steward was draw
ing off some spirit by candle light, and the
, flame communicated, and in few minutes
