that the Court at ST. Petersburg, has add ressed
brief and conclusive note to the Government

LETTER FROM GEO. SANpERs.-We find in
the New York Herald the following letter from
the U. S. Consul in London
LONDON, Nov. Is, 1853.
You will see by Nesselrode's late dispatch
that Russia will do every thing in her power TO
conhne the war to the narrow limits Of the pro-
vinces. Yet you must not come to the cone luz
sion that Russia car entirely control the action
of Europe. For know that the Porte has ask
ed France and England to guarantee the neu-
tra!ty OF Austria, alleging that it takes as large
force to guard the rear of Omer Paschas ar
my from sudden attack of the Austrian army
Of observation as it would require to march to
the heart of Hungary.
! also know that unless Austria, wthdraws
her forces, or that England and France shall
guarantee her neutrality, the Porte has advised
her that he will declare war against her, and
that she cannot be regarded as neutral
while she has large army on his frontier
which requires an equally strong force to watch
it, /
We have advices that Kossuths agent was
openly received at Conslan,inople, and that the
Porte made NJ secret of the fact that unless
Austria withdraw her armies from his frontier
or that England and France shall accede to his
demand foI a guarantee of the neutrality of Aus
lria, Kossuth will be invited to Constaninople
and placed at the head Of a strong division TO
march on Hungry.

6 1t is said that the wisest of English states
men are confidently looking forward to the time
when it will be to the advantage Of us both that
we should be seperate and independent OF each
other, and that when that time shall arrive, it
will be disgrace to the British people if we are
