Without Disgusting from ourselves the lmpor-
lance Of the last news from Constantnople, we
cannot believe that the suspension OF diplomatic
relations between Russia and Turkey, on the
Porte's refusal of eXtraditon OF the Hungarian
and Posh refugees, will lead to war. On the sup
position, iced, that Russia was only seeking a
pIetext for fresh luroaos on the Ottoman empire,
il might appear possible that she should regard the
prestn MT circumstances Of Europe as aifording OPP

universal feeling of Europe, which was The prime
mover of his overthrow, would be manifested on
the attack Of Turkey by her lmperous neighbor
on such preiexis those which II Is now threat
ened. The Austrian note, demanding the extra
dition of the fugitive chiefs OF the Hungarian

The FIRST objection which AT once occurs against
the application Of the Article 10 the Case now IN
question, is that The Hung 4nan fugtiyes, at least,
are not Russian subjects; and, therefore, the terms
of the treaty can, by no s,raining OF constructions
be applied % them. Ii was the Intention of Prince

Turkish government should make Itself accessory

has refused that compliance! The Porte might
well hold itself dispensed from overstrained obser-
vance Of The treaty of kutechuk-kamardJi, con-
aidcnng how little ceremony RUSSIA has shown,
on repeated occasions, In infringing the terms OF
that treaty, especially at the epoch ct the Greek

Within his own empire the Car has to eontend
with no assertors OF the law OF nations. His
people have ahundinty strong national feelings,
but no troublesome political notions. They are
well instructed TO regard their Emperor as the visit
be representative Of their country and religion.
The grandoquent style which the Car has lately
adopted on the affairs Of Europe IS no more ndicu-
ioue therefore relatively TO It's object, than were
Napolt on's bulletins. Taste and truth might re-
sect their inflated assumptions; not so the grand
