resolution never to yield to any of the terms proposed
by the Russians, had begun to experience some per-
plexity with regard TO the course OF his own motions
in the event of the cncmy arriving triumphant at the
gates of the capital. Little could be expected from
his presence near the scene of operations, whereas it
was of the highest Importance that his person should
BIO far from the reach of the Russians. The city of
Broussa, on the Asiatic shore, about 100 miles from
Constantinople, across the Propontis, was therefore
the place supposed to have been selected by the Sui
tan as a retreat in the first instance. TRANQUILITY
prevailed in the cpital up to the departure of the mail.

As yet, the Sultan had not removed his headquarters
from the valley Of Bouyouderay. The EXCHANGE on

The Constitutional, after giving the extract from
the Gazette de Munich respecting tie affair Of ker-
keleisa says
"Thc taking of Constantinoplc, if this news is
confirmed, will be only tie signal OF n greater roliti-
cal movement in Europe. England has declared that
Turkey, as an independent power, was necessary TO
the equilibrium of Europe, and especially TO the COM
inercial interest OF Great Britain.-Austria is alarm
ed at finding herselfin contact with what the English
call the giant of the north. 1t will then be necessary
TO drive this giant back towards the Pole. This win
be the task of the giant of the seas united to Aus
tria. But the combined forces of the two mowers
would not be sufficient TO attain the result which is
desired. The assistance of France would be naces-
sary for her to display her force i'll order TO calm the
fears of Austria, and insure 10 England, in case of
war, the possession of Malta, the Ionian Islands, and
her commercial influence in the Levant.
In truth, England and Austria. who did not sut-
fer us TO preserve our ancient limits, who pillaged
our museums and enriched themselves with ransom

US to draw for them the chesnuts from the fire.
This we shall see. The secret OF the formation of
Polianac ministry will cease soon TO be a mysteSy, and
the fleet will make us acquainted with the causc-&
Prussia and the Low COuntries-we already hear of
political necessities which may break up the neutrili-
~ in spite of all possible repugnance. Is it to be
supposed that Russia has not provided herself with
niiies? Is 1t to be supposed she will let go the prey
che is ubout to seize? And in such circumstances we
have for ministers Messrs. de Polignac, Bourmont,
