II appears from the latest intelligence that sal
sfactory adjustment ofthe difficulties between the
Sultan and his rebelious Pacha has yet taken
place; and that both parties preparing for fur
ther hostitcs If these accounts should prove
correct, is not improbable that these difficulties
may become the bone of contention between Chris
ian, as well as Mahometan Monarchs. The Rus
sian Gar has been zealously and actively ofHcious
in proffering aid to the Sultan, and, from the last
accounts, Russian troops were pouring into Con-
stantinope from every direction and in formidable
numbers. What part ofthe Turkish empire the
Car proposes to appropriate to himself in requital
for such signal services to the Sultan, remains
matterUf conjecture amongIsAe various European
Cabinets, who stand ready to oppose the partition
Of the Turkish empire, and to resist, with open
force, any further extension Of the possessions Of
the Russian Autocrat in that any other direction;
whose colossal sway already threatens destruction
to that balance power which has heretofore been
considered essential to the peace Of Europe. 1t is
not to be doubted that the Rr.ian cabinet have
long had an eye to more extensive and permanent
footing in the east, and have only been deferred
from asserting her claim to slice of Ottoman soil
by ,he watchful jealousy Of her neighbors
At this time, however, the Autocra. may deem
hispower sufficiently formidable to prevent any
hostile interference Of his European neighbors but
France aud England are ON the alert, and no ar
rangement with the Sultan which shall give the
least extension to the territory influence of Rus
sa in the east, will be acquesced in by either Of
those powers,-.so that if this be attempted, Rus
sa will be opposed by two other most formidable
neshbors acting in concert. The conflict will be
long and bloody, the whole Of Europe will feel the
shock Of the encounter, though Asia may witness
The carnage.
