Tp,T TURKISH WAR.


General outcrs 40 ripst the treacherous coz
az, of rrslona even before the, defeat OF Sinope
The saiatipc powers. England al, France, were wen
aware that no settlement possible unlesstsc Turks
were defeated And as Lord Redclife the mou'ePioce
of English policy believed fully in the Dragging Of Nus
STA and had no doubt whatever that Omer PArha wCi
be beaten as soon as ne encountered the Russian army
he did not oppose the plan Of the General 10 Chief for
crossing the Danube Bot as the battle OF on
teniezs was fought and won by the Turks aud omer
p.cha was anxious to march upon Bucharest and ex
mel the Russians from the Priucipates, Lord Red
ce did not cease TO enreat the Sultan not 10 risk his
army and 10 warn him not 10 tras the reports OF mar.
though the noble Lord was sufficiently informed TO
know that Prince Gorchakof could not oppose moro
than sOOCO Russians to the 10000 Turks OF omer
The reason of this conduct is selfevident The
English Government had made up its mind. that the
evacuation of the Prncpalities was TO be the great
concession Of Russia, for which the demands OF tho
Car were TO be sgreed TO in unOGendng erby
the Sultan; and had 0mer expelled the Russians by
force no such concession could be made BY the Car
Lord Redclifes counses prevailed at last with she
Sultan ard Omer received ordersto recross the Dan
ube. and to remain on the defensive. This was to be
the condition Of the cooperation of the combined aeet
with Turkey OF course the people Of Constantinople
were excited. and the Army of the Danube plainly
stated to Omer by deputation of officers of all ranks
that in case peace should be concluded and the dc hands
Of the Car conceded they would not lay down their
arms, but would march against ConstantnoPle' and
take revenge Gu the tressherous councillors OF tho
Sultan.
Soon after. when a considerable portion Of the
Turkish feet was destroyed at Snope, the Sultan sp
piled to Lord Radcliffe for the serious cooperation OF
the fleet at anchor in the BosPhOrus, so much the
MORE as in consequence of English advice that
the great Turkish fleet had returned to Constannope.
and the squadron of Snope had remained quiet In the
har6or Admiral Dundas being of opinion thai at this
advanced season the Black Sea had ceased to be nav
gable and nothing to be feared Iron the kus
slams But the Black Sea unsafe only for the
English the Russians, advised by an Austrian steamer
of the state of the Turkish squadron at Sinope, at
tackled and sunk it.
And now Lord Radcliffe backed out and instead OF
giving orders to the feet to lombard Sebasopo he sent
two steamers to Sinope with some surgeons in order
to take care of the wounded and two steamers to Var
ma in order to see whether any other mischief had
happened on the European coast The indignation at
such mean and treacherous conduct became stronger
from day to day. and at last compelled Lord Radcliffe
TO give orders to the Admras to enter the Black Sea-
In Constantnople people thought OF course that tho
English would now be as good as their word ana 90
straight to Sebastopol and avenge Sinope but am
sure that after short cruise, the heet wiz put BACK
into the Sea of Marmora as the frat excitement
has subsidized Nobody doubt any longer that twas
not in the interest of the Sultan but in the interest OF
the Car that the fleet was sent to ConstantinoPle
But in the meantime things are daily growing
more serious in England. The Morning AdoeTt'ser
aud the Tory papers openly denounce Prince
Albert and the German influence at Court; aud
by strange breach Of cOnidence-which people
are ready to impute to Lord Palmerston-the
official instructions sent the 9TH inst to Lord Red
cne have been published in the Journal dss Dsbafs,
making it clear even to the most shortslghted poit
Clans that Lord Aberdeen is only anxious to obtain
good terms for the Car, and not for the Sultan
storm is rising in England, which will soon sweep
away the laundering Ministers of the Coalition and the
popularity not only of the CObdens and Brghts but
even of persons in higher sphere. The Ministry are
beginning to be frghtened-the place OF Lord Palners
ton is not yet ledno statesman is as yet to be found
who will assume the responsibility OF the present ad
mnisraon for the pleasure OF being at the head OF the
Home Department perhaps only for month. Even
Lord John Russell has refused to accept the place LETT
vacant by his boiling colleague, and Sir George Groy
does not find it advisable to join the Ministry at tho
present crisis 1t ia not impossible that the Coalition
may seek ts safety against early defeat in Parlis-
ment by declaring war against Russia

Pamerstons resignation. II is probably the death.
