nothing TO impede the march Of the Russians

Adrsnople, which, fer the sake Of effect, they
may leave unreduced m their rear. 1t is true,
that II the Turks posses the enthusiasm and
love af country fer which they were xnciently
80 much distinguished, they may. still make q
nest formidable resistance; but this does not
appear to be the case. Vhe ievy en- ,ua.sie it is
sad, IS very siuggishly executed, the people
taking arms only in these districts where there
arc treers enough to csmpeI them to military
service; and Of volunteers there are very few,
il sny ali. Such being the case, the ques
tion 10 whether Russia viii forcgc the glorious
opportunity Of oonquering Turkey, ber ancient
and Tnveteratc enemy, merely because oee or
two OF the great Europsa an Powers may declare
war against herr For our part we are inclined
to asswerNo! The Emperor Nicholas knows
thst England will avoid war, &c possible, for
obvious reassbs. He must see hoe indisposed
the people of France are to thwart his vie VS.,
however censrarily disposed she Ceurt may be.
He is well aware that Austria is too poor to
declare war without the assistance of England;
while Prussia, there can be little doubt will
enter into his views provided she il oil lev ed to
share the spoil. 1t nsy be said, however, that
Russia is under engagements nct to press things
TO extremiiies This may be the case, or It
may not but whether it be 50 or not. we ap
prshend tina, ehs wild not fad it difficult to
evade or break through such engsE ements --
when Russia involved Englsnd and France in
the Treaty OF the 9th of July, ii was certainly
not expeeted. nAy,i must have been fscitly
understood, that, when she assumed the char.
acter of medtating Power, shc would net
act a. bellgerent. But this She did do. and
an doing this she cartsinly ected with bad faith
Taxing all circumstances into consideration, we
must say ahat. in our humble opinion, it il not
very probable that Russia will seriously speak
Of peace till she has planted the Eagle on the
walls of Constantinoplc; and VIVA, sort of
peace she will then propose it will nst be diff
cult to imagine.
In Asstc Turkey, the Russian arms have
been equally successful. Erzerum, the capture
