FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.


| You will have received doubtless by the Liver
pool steamer of the 16th since the date of my last
the three important documents which have just
been published touching the Turco-Russian war
now raging | allude to the circular despatch of
M. DE NEssELRoDE, addressed to Russian diplomatic
agents at foreign Courts dated October 81 (Octo-
Der 10 O. SD the manifesto of his Russian Ma
iesty himself, dated one day later, and the COM
ments on the latter document published last Satur-
day in the official journal, the loniteur of Paris.
You will have appreciated these papers, and have
remarked that they corroborate, in remarkable
manner, the speculatons already emitted by the In
telligencer relative to the probable course to be
taken by events in the East. The position of Rus
sia as defined in the two aforementioned official Rus
sian Documents position the sincerity of which
no events which have yet transpired OF nature
to make US question-was distinctly defined by you
several months ago. 1t is Of unyeldng persistence
in the terms of her ultmaum continued provisional
cupation of the Principates till the utmatum shall
been accepted by Turkey the resoute defence of
that military occupation, accompanied with the explicit
disclaimer of all intention to the Danube and at
tempt the dsmemberment Of the Turkish Empire by per-
manent territorial conquests.
The FIRST remark is constrained to make on reading
the manifesto is in reference the religious character
with which the Gar is solicous to invest this war in
the minds Of his subjects He knows that is upon
gous subjects alone that it would be possible to excite
enthusiasm which would make the hordes which CON-
pose the of his armies efficient soldiers in
foreign They ignorantly and bigotedy Greek,
and therefore easily made the subject Of fierce reli
gious natcsm, which, excited, becomes quite
efficient for all the Cars purposes would prove had
almost said V prove) the political popular enthusiasm
which Napoleon would appeal in for extending
French limits the Rhine, and which would burst forth
so magnfcently in the United States if should be-
come necessary in support of the " Monroe doctrine
touching European interference in America Besides the
enthusiasm Of which the Gar is now making use is
much safer element Of power for himself than would be
the political enthusiasm which may be in States
Of more advanced civilization.
The only remark which have to make upon the cir
cuar Of NJ de Nesserode is that while it contains very
explicit averments of the Cars intention remain pure
y the defensive avoiding further aggressive measures
it takes suspcousy special care to speak Of this mode
ration strictly in the present tense Thus, for the mo-
ment" the Gar is Practically disposed ever; he
ohas not for all that as yet" abandoned the position
assumed in the circular Of July I'd at the present
ment the intentions Of his august master remain the
same One is almost led 10 suppose that NJ de Nesse
rode is announcing and would prepare the way for an
advance hostile and aggressive policy on the
part Of Russia But as yet, my confidence is unshaken
in the correctness of the considerations heretofore
scented determining the Cars course in this war
still think that those considerations will prevail to keep
him from committing any act Of nature to provoke an
abandonment Of their neutrality by England and France
until shall have occurred to induce him no longer
to apprehend their cooperation in the East
The page Of comment in the MoHHew by which the |
Cars manifesto was introduced French readers fatty
but politely contradcts the leading ayerments Of the
Gar in justification of his position II is not however
Of very warke aspect when one reads il for the pur
pose Of discovering some indication Of the future
of France Ii may therefore, il contains nothing con-
Trajectory be taken conrmatory Of the view all along
taken in the Inelgencer of the role to be played by
France during the war. That view is further corrobo
rated by the similar nconclusiye character Of mpos
ing multcoumn article just published simultaneously in
the two semiof6cal journals the Pays and the Consu
donnei These two papers, which have played con-
spicuous part in public affairs in France during the last
few years. have just been united form single
individual sort Of Siamese twins in the natural history
Of journalism While the distinct identity of each is pre-
served in many parculsrsesch retaining its old corps
