land occupying Egypt mistress OF syria, holding 40
minion at the same time over the Red Sea and the
Euphrates she would thus connect with Europe her
vast Indian possessions, and, by this powerful posi-
ton the Eastern coast OF the Mediterranean she
would, for long period, retain the monopoly Oh uie
commerce, and Of the sovereignty OF the seas nus
sia on her SIDE would take possession, at the same
time, of the black sea- The Bosphorus, and OF Con
stantnople the secular object OF her perseVerng am

Brunow treaty 1t ranspires in every line OF the long
correspondence which preiaced IT,"
The writer adds
There is certainly, much truth in these forebod
ngs-and, probably, no other nation can so quickly
discover the intended moves oil England, upon the
political chess-board, as jealous France She de-
clares that AT every period IN the history OF England
il is the home policy which governs the foreign, and
she points to the history of Pitt Castlereagh, and Of
Canning, statesmen who, whenever serious peril

The Morning Herald announces that treaty be-

the eve OF being concluded" 1t is the same treaty
TO which have already alluded, between Russia and
England, who the chiefs, Austria and Prussia be
ing merely subordinates. We are assured, - says
the Morning Herald, that treaty. the origin Of
which may be referred to lS40 is the Of being
concluded, by which England will obtain possession
of the port of Suez free passage from Alexandra to
that port, and other advantages of Importance in
Egypt and Syria. This treaty, 10 which France is
said to be party is guaranteed by Russia, Austria
and Prussia. We know not by what intrigue the
King OF the French has been prevented from partci

has had nothing to do with the exclusion"
1t is clear, therefore, that Notwithstanding the Ia
hti and Morocco questions have been settled--and
Notwithstanding LOUIS Philippe will while alive,
exert himself to the utmost to prevent conflict his
death will probably be the signal for fearful strug
gle, with all us attendant horrors. And yet in this
age and among Christian and civilized nations
war-a system of wholesale slaughter, would, to the
calm and dspassionate observer, seem almost impos-
sibe.
