To the Editor of the National Era.
The failure Of Count Orloff's insidious mis-
sion is the best sign of the times Opthalnia
could not avoid seeing through the dust he tried
to throw, and the unanimous rejection of his
oyertures must produces very grave effect upon
the statesmen OF st. Petersburgh, and middle
classes of the empire Are thoy committed
past all recall, or can few headlong pllnges
more be ventured, for the chance Of soothing
wounded pride and disappointed ambition
An immediate retreat would BIO the wisest
and, on the whole, the most graceful policy
but il will be hard to bring the stubborn heart
Of the Emperor to that humiliation Other
devices may be resorted to, but all the devices
in the world can never restore 10 Nicholas the
character he has thrown away, nor blind the
other nations Of Europe TO the vile hypocrisy
with which Russia endeavors to conceal and
advance her overreaching and abandoned
designs The veil has been torn Of. and the
sham exposed in its trne colors Those who
could be blinded after this would deserve the
suferings prepared for them. France ard
England will not be hoodwinked and both
Austria and Prussia are awake 70 the fate
which must follow their connivance in the ex-
tension Of the empire Of the Romanoffs.
Among the Vaccinations TO which wo have
alluded, the cndeavor TO excite Greek insur-
rection along the European frontier OF Turkey
may be specified. A conspiracy for this pur-
pose is stated TO have been detected, and many
arrests TO have taken place. Another consists
in the attempt to make u tool Of Bavaria, by
the promise t. raise that Government 10 q
higher scale in the German system, and Mt
the expense Of Prussia, should that become OK
pedient; az well as by the formation q con
glomerate, or union, Of some OF the smaller
German States, under the rotectorate Of Rus
sia.
There il no turn to which the crooked and
willy policy Of the Gar has not resorted; and
whether Count Orlof7a propositions were more
insidious or arrogant it IL impossible to deter
mine. Ho is now on his return 10 his master,
with their rejection, whatever they were, as
the four Powers declined 10 insult the Sultan
by sending them 10 Constantnope At once
they we're pronounced inadmissible; and as the
Russian ambassadors, Brnnow and Kissileff
have migrated from London and Paris, and
Seymour and Castelbajac are recalled from St.
Peterborough, il needs but a shot on the Black
Sea, whilst conveying Turkish transports to
Varna or Batoum, to snpersede formal doola-
ration Of war on either side
Meanwhile, energetic exertona are making
to DO ready for the Baltic in April or May, as
the weather may deal with the ice; and also
IN organizing large bodies Of military force,
both French and English, to proceed to the
seat OF war in the East, M circumstances may
require. The recruiting in England is going
on most successfully, and the hint wc gave in
our last letter, about means adopted TO raise
sufficient number Of able sealuen, at n very
short notice, to man the fleet, has already par
tally transpired, by the act Of calling ont
considerable portion Of the coastguard Rnt
the measure goes much farther than that ~
will be seen in due time in case Of necessity.
The latest accounts received relate to a
change in the Turkish Ministry where the
Seraskier and Capudan Pasha have been IN.
pcrseded by less warlikc individuals. We are
convinced that this has been Effected by anoth-
er Of the Russian intrigues; the consequences
are yet IN n,ibibus, but as Redchid Pasha still
remains at the head of the Divan, and Omer
Pasha at the head of tho army, we may hope
that the change will have no injurious opera
tion on the policy Of the Grand Seigaior. Va
