War Between Russia aud the United
States.

The New York Tribune of Feb. 27 does
not want to alarm any body, but it seri.
ously thinks that war between Russia
and the United States Is now among the
possible contingencies. At all events 30 it
is regarded by the Autocrat, and he is
plainly taking measures accordingly. Thus
this Tribune infers from the fact that early
in December last Count MEDEM, who has
been for three years discharging the func-
tions Of ambassador at the court Of Hayti
to inaugurate relations of amity between
Nicholas l and FAusTlN /. The latter
monarch was quite enchanted BY these di-
plomatic attentions. 1t was a new thing
for SO great power to send SO distinguish
ed an envoy to treat the Haytien upon a
footing Of equality. From Port au Prince
Count MEDEM went to Mexico. OF bis do
ings there no account has been received
here.
The Tribuns thinks that it is worthy Of
note that Hayti aad Mexico are the points
in America where hostility to the United
States could be easiest infamed; and
whence an enemy could do the most harm.
Hayti could command the Gulf Of Mexico
and the Caribbean ports with sufficient
naval force, and with a nation of emanci-
pated slaves, could furnish dangerous en-
issaries to stir up our southern slave popu-
lation to revolt. Mexico, too, has no reason
to love us. In short, in case ef war with
Russia, the Tribune thinks these two
though despicable antagonists in
themselves would prove redoubtable auxil
iaries to the enemy and Of this fact Rus
sia is we'll aware, and for that reason has
sent Count MEDEM on his present expedi-
Dealer.
