As far rely the professions Of the En
OF Russia British MERCK and shpowners have nothing
TO apprehend, should the present crisis result in
between England and Russia As stated in paper
of YESTERDAY the Car have given sufficient
surance to merchants that should war break out,
not only will the property OF English merchants be secure
ping without giving timely notice There are many
reasons why the Emperor Nicholas should deal thus
literally with the English nation The commerce of this
country Is probably the most profitable in which the
empire epgagei and to be deprived o. 1t would not
only seriously affect the Russian treasury, bat would
render the war which would the cause Of unpopular
throughout the Cars domiDons. Again. it must be
great object to him that England should not proceed to
eAtremites while he has such serious and doubtful war
his hands he is engaged in The enty OF the
English feet into the Black Sea would the exertions
of the Russian army it would, almost to certainty
TURKEY 1t might and probably 1t would lead to the loss
OF Sebastapo ODESSA and the Russian ports in the Black
sea- and completely cut OIL her connection between Asia
vious policy Of the Car to prevent Great Britain with the
powerful fleet fhe has at present off taking
part in the present begerent operations Such
alone will induce the Emperor Nicholas to
be civil long possible to England and If it be true,
that the entry of single English French ship
into the Black Sea would be con, |, cred declara-

well point Of Rus sa in the present war; particularly
while he has such thanking force as the mountaineet
| Of Circassia to contend with At tt time
may consider the Black Sea inaccessible, except by the
European pavies, which in reality it is We have then
confidence certain extent in the professions of the
Gar expressed by the Russian Minister OF Finance
The part of Emperor to the English merchants in st.
Petersburg The letter addressed to the Minister will be
found in columns to day No doubt the Gar In act
ng thus literally towards the rehans of this country
making virtue of necessity, which Ia generally the
best guarantee for good faith is however, satisfactory
er our trade and shipping to know that they hus
AR SAFE and thai they will have timely notice before any
thing more serious may arise
one important point, however, remains as yet undo
cided not merely regards Russia but other naval
rs Does the rality of the flag the
chat may be on board? We showed in former article
chat the events OF the last with France and the Bsr
In and Milan DEGREES of Bonaparts, had overthrow
everything that had been previously recognized the
Aw OF neons and regret TO say that the matter still
remans In this doubtful and unsettled state and will In
all probability be 40 until makes II necessary

rumor has prevailed in the ci u has been stated
some OF the morning papers, that epataion Of Rus
sian merchants had interview with Lord Clarendon
yesterday to ascertain from his lor shp IL IL voud be-
safe for them to nay in ADVANCE they ad been In the
aabit of doing for consgnments ordered from Russia
nch taow, hemp, &C. We can take upon ourselves
that nothing Of the sort has taken place and that
deputation bad interview with the Foreign
ry for such purpose. Two individuals, bsevs call
I'D upon his lordshp last week TO elicit info nation on
the subject ON their account but, might be
peoted Lord Clarendon declined to give them advice
