FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Austrian Observer, of March 3, is said
to have contained the following paragraph =
" The allied and legitimate powers and nations
subject to their sway, can never expect peace
unless their troops dictate it again, under the
walls of the city, which for the last forty-fve
years have vomited forth troubles over the
whole earth" The St. Petersburg Gazette, the
following go Ii is not in Poland alone, that
the revolutionary movement must be suppress
edit is France, the hol-bed Of revolutions,
which must be purged of its incendiaries. A
London correspondent OF the N. Y. Courier re-
marks, When you learn this language, you
will be truly astonshed at the blindness of the
present French Ministry, who fancy that they
will be able to preserve peace, and that France
will be allowed to enjoy the fruits of the revolu-
tion in tranquility. lam convinced it is utterly
impossible"
Bells Weekly Messenger, of Goth ult re-.
marks =" 1t seems almost placed beyond a
doubt that the Continent will be embroed in
war in vefy few months. The coming events
are legible in almost every mail which arrives
The Russians are assembling all their force on
the Vistula, and the Polish instruction has af-
forded them pretext for this concentration of
their military masses. A months march will
bring them on the Rhine, and if France, or Bel
GUM by her absurd conduct should provoke a
general war, we should not at all be surprised
to see another attempt to get TO Paris by AL
lies.
/" 1t is fortunate thing for England that she
can be neutral with equal safety and dignity on
this occasion. At the same time there are two
prpeonderating Powers which it will be equally
necessary to guard against and to watch with
jealousy, France and Russia. If France make
an attempt upon Belgium, it will be our duty
instantly to seize upor, and to garrison Antwerp
and Ostend. The Scheldt must be kept out of
the power of France. Again, if Russia seek 10
establish her barbarous hordes on the Rhine,
and to penetrate still farther into the bowels of
Europe, danger will also awa ait us from this
quarter Upon the whole, matters are involved
in SO much perplexity and obscurity, that it is
difficult TO conjecture what a few weeks may
produce"
