THE EDINBURGH REvIEw-for January,
among the able articles with which its pages
are filled, has an interesting article on the
Ottoman Empire," its resources, condition
of the people, manners, decay, &c. The
writer contends that elements of decay which
have been long at work undermining the Turk
ish Empire, will inevitably work out its de-
struction as a Mussulman Power; and that
the only hope for Turkey lies in her restora-
ton by the Western Powers to civil freedom
and 10 Christian laws. The remaining arti-
cles in the Review are Of solid character, a
popularity which makes this one Of the most
acceptable to the American reader, of all the
foreign periodicals with which we are favored.

for so bold man as Narvaez, to put an end to
this system of interference by direct means,
SO long rs Cuba was threatened by the United
States and its surest protection lay in the Bri-
fish and French fleets. Having to choose be-
tween two evils, Spain has generally preferred
to submit to the interference Of her neighbors
rather than risk the loss Of her colony. 1t is
now proposed to extricate her from this diem
ma by renouncing our views on the island, in
consideration Of her agreement to the demands
we have mentioned above, and which obviously
look TO the benefit Of Spain as well as our own.
Should these proposals be approved, the United
States will exchange places with Great Britain
and France at Madrid Our influence will be-
come paramount; theirs will disappear. We
shall agree to give whatever moral support
and comfort we can to the progressistas or their
successors; and they in return will agree to re-

Mr.. Sickles left New York with the
basis Of this diplomatic arrangement in his
pocket. The new government of Spain had pre-
viously given an earnest Of their willingness to
embrace it by taking vigoqas measures for
the suppression Of the - vade, and by SUI
perseding Pezuela by Concha, whose popularity
in this country was large and whose character
stood high. Great Britain had tried to or

put creature of their own--Don Pedro of
Portugal--on the Spanish throne. The battle

need give himself no concern about them for
the present. The convention between Austria
and Turkey, by which the former Power has not
only secured the right Of occupation, but also an
express condition that these provinces are not
to be made the theatre Of hostilities, secures
him against any causes Of apprehension that
might have arisen on that side, whilst it at the
same time leaves him free to concentrate all
his nearest available resources on the points of
his coast which are more Immediately threatened.
The Importance Of this relief, forced though 1t
may be, can only be appreciated by those who
are acquainted with the difficulties attending
the transportation Of troops from distance in
country where the facilities of conveyance are
but few, and where, as in the case Of q sudden
demonstration like the present, delay might
occasion the most disastrous results. With the
achievements which he will now be able to draw
from his armies on the Pruth, it is hardly pos
sible that he will not be able to make such
resistance as will give strength and moral Dig
nifty to his cause. He has this advantage in
the struggle for the possession Of the Crimean
Peninsula, that although it's loss may discou-
rage and weaken him, 1t Is contingency
which has long since entered into his calcula-
TONS To the coalition defeat would be ruinous,
for IL would lower the prestige Of their milf
tary and naval supremacy in the eyes Of Eu-
rope, and confirm the wavering Russian ten

The License Question:.

There have been within two weeks past
two prosecutions in our city for violations
of the License Law, in both which the city
authorities have come off second-best.
In one case the Justice imposed fine
in default Of the payment Of which the Of
fender was committed to the county Jail
but he was let cut by the county Judge or
a writ of Habeas Corpus, owing to some
defect in the naittinaats.
In the other case the defendant was ac-
quilted by the Jury on some bubble Of the
law, although the fact of his having sold
liquor without license was proved to the
satisfaction Of everybody.
These trials will, we hope, do this much
good: They will convince people that al
attempts to regulate the traffic are vain and
foolish. License laws never did, and never
will do any thing more than to add res
probability to the business Of selling whis-
key.
Either let us have Prohibitory law
which can be enforced, or let the trade be
free to all. If the trade is legitimate
and useful one, it is wrong to require mer
10 pay for engaging in it. If on the Other
hand, it only tends to demoralize tht
community, to produce crime, pauperisn
and misery, (as We think it does,) it i
outrageous to sell indulgences to a few t.
produce all this evil, for the sake of receiv
ing a few pieces Of silver Oshkosh Dem
