We may take as an intmaton that the Imperial Court
will one dny be transported ihhcr, and that IL viii
become In TACT the metropolis of the empire leaving to
81 Petersburg to Moscov, nothing but the nominal
sp,ndor and occasional activity Of capital This is
not ain cd nj. but il cannot be avoided The ancient
and everlasting spell Of that delicious city will have its
effect The monarch and his grandees viii yield
TO the temptation. They will abandon the cold'
misty, frozen, marshy, moldy and gloomy region OF
ST. Petersburg with its monuments of murder, OF
pntricide and matricde for the unriyaled beauty OF
the Bosphorus where in their ambitious ntoxcaton,
they will believe themselves masters Of the world.
Here will date the decadence Of their power HiStOry
attest that to conquer and occupy Byzanum is to sink
into eeniuacy Constantine and his Romans wentthere
but the latter disappeared from the Courtand from
public life and hardly a family of Roman descent was
prominent during the Eastern Empire. The Russian
autocrscy once established there, will become disabled;
it i'll lose its control over the people its old ndigen
Gus favor will disappear We may then expect to see
varied reproduction of the worst Byzantian ePochs;
the historic tie between the Car and his subjects will
be rent asunder the of the north will cease to re-
coenze his hereditary master in the despot revealing in
oriental luxury and the throne Of Peter will disappear
in the ashes of some modern Sardanapalus. The
Muscoyite desposm has muscles of iron and nerves Of
STEEL let these relax and it dies Let it become BY
zantle and Fanarote, and the nation will rise for its
overthrow. Nobility, clergy, the men OF Moscow, OF
tie Don the Volga, and the Baltic all united in the
common cause. will execute its doom and close its his

Thus the possession of Consantinople seems neces-
sary fatal tie tyranny of the Cars The only atern
alive is the conversion Of that city into mere sarapy
ard the appointment of some noble general to govern
it, but this is hardly possible What subordinate could
safely be intrusted with the power and influence in
berent to such position Among the actual or posi-
bic possessions of the Empire there is none whose con-
troll would so stimulate ambition or furnish such re-
sources TO crafty it. Mehemet Ali in Egypt was far
more dependent the Sultan, and had less the means
of gaining power for himself, than would Russian
Governor at Constantinope. Besides, though Russian
does not become Pole at Warsaw, or a Georgian or
Armenian at Tinis how easily the sternness Of bis
tiona feeling would be dissolved amid the recOections
of Greece and OF Byzantum surroundedb by anunwOnted
life and breathing atmosphere teelning with new
and irresistible aspirations There is not man in all
Russia that the Emperor would long trust there we
nay be sure then, he will never send satrap to Con
stantnople he will govern there himself with such
consequences as we have shown above.
1t now remains to inquire what influence the an
nexaton of Turkey and its capital must have the
condition of the Russian people, and of the various
tribes resident in the conquered country. For the
latter the change may, politically, be for the worse, at
the outset ndustraly, and in the long run, it must be
greatly for the better Annexation to Russia is thee1
tension Of the protective system and the exclusion Of
domestic industry. To the Greeks, the MoldO
now destroys and prevents everything like
English manufactures, whose delusiye cheapness
Wallachians and the Sclayes, this will be q boon Of
endless and varied good and the foundation OF real
independence hereafter The Russians will also be
benefited and strengthened in the sphere of industry
by the accession of SO many millions OF men to the
Customs League of their Empires and their material
progress will be far rapid than ever. New CON-
nercial relations and more extensive foreign trade
will also grow up with the increase Of native produc-
ton and resources, and the opening of new marts.
Now they have DO commercial relations with other
countries during six months Of the year when the
Baltic is frozen. And when they do send produce
to market, it must be laborOusly transported by
the small natural channels of the Dwna the Neva and
the Niemen but make Constantinople their emporium,
and the lordy currents of the Dnepsr, the Don and
tie Volga will float d traffic uncOnceyed before.
But this Metropolis of the Globe, as it has been
called, will not only be great market for the ex-
change OF goods, but likewise for that of ideas.
Petersburg" says Kukonik, Russian poet, is
"a window cut out into Europe by the Ak Of
Peter the Great" CoDsantinople will prove an
immense gate not only opening to Europe, but to all
the world. At ST. Petersburg the Gar with his vast
