Dusnesss Of this argument:-

In the above calculations we have purposely
omitted the new loans about to be contracted
for war purposes by the different Powers and
the results of which cannot as yet be obtained
with any degree of eyactness. 1t is estimated,
however, that the aggregate of these loans will
add little short of 100000, 900 to the financial
obligations of the countries above enumerated
1t will be seen from this statement that CON-
mercially speaking, there is no country in
Europe more Independent of other nations than
Russia. With population more than double
that of Great Britain, and nearly double that
Of France, her exports are only in the proper
tion of fifth of the one and q fourth of the
other. Of these, cereal productions constitute
a major part; and as the large landholders are
in fact the producers, the loss arising from the
interruption of this class of exports would fall
entirely upon them, and be little, if at all, felt
by the great mass of the population; but, put
ting this consideration aside, it is question
whether the withdrawal of such large proper
ton Of able bodied agricultural laborers as will
be required for the service of the vast armies that
the Gar will be compelled to keep on foot
will not in itself sensibly affect the amount of
production, and keep it within the limits of
home consumption. In any case although the
suspension of her foreign trade would no doubt
cause considerable inconvenience, and perhaps
even distress, in some districts, it would not be
of a sufficiently general and pressing nature to
influence for moment the policy of the gov
erUment
But in calculating Russia's power of endu-
rance under the pressure of the most adverse
circumstances in which continued blockade
might place her, there is one important element
that must not be lost sight of, and which must
in the end react fatally upon her opponents:
Her public debt amounts only to about
twelfth part of that Of England and third
part of that of France. AS long as she con-
fines herself to defensive operations within her
own territories, her expenditure will be com
paratively light and will be met by issues Of
paper roubles--the usual currency in which her
troops are paid until they cross the frontiers.
Thus situated, she can afford to wait patiently
the course of events. Time will do for her
more than the most powerful armies or the
most lavish expenditure of money can effect
What Moscow proved to Napoleon, the system
of blockade, if persevered in, will prove to the
allies
It requires no prophetic eye to trace out
clearly the results of this suicidal system of
warfare on the part Of the coalition. They may
Il is true, interrupt the trade of Russia, ami
hilate its feet, and perhaps succeed even in
burning It's capital; but will they have thereby

curtailed it's real power or advanced by an hour
the objects which they have in view! To do all
this they will be compelled to keep up enormous
ornaments at distance rom their own terri
tories, and that, too for an indefinite eriod of
time. Every day, every hour, lost in this fruit
less contest, will be adding to the heavy bur
dens Of their already over-taxed subjects. They
cannot, like the Gar, pay their soldiers, sailors
and contractors in paper money They must
carry specie with them wherever they go. This
continual drain of bullion, increase of taxation,
and consequent depression of commercial IN
terests, will eventually produce misery, discon-
tent, financial and political explosions, both IN
England and France, and thus OF itself Will dis
solve this apparently powerful coalition, whose
magnificent armies and fleets are just now cx-
citing the admiration and terror Of the world.
So much for the system of blockade, which
appears to be the present plan of operations de-
cided upon by the coalition. We have shown
that unless bent on their own destruction they
must soon abandon that line of tactics; and then
comes the question whether they will resort to
the only other alternative left open to them
namely, to carry the war into the interior Of
Russia. Let us see how their chances of sue
cess would be increased by such movement
TO obtain the elements of correct opinion
upon this point, we must again have recourse
to figures The following table shows approx
matively the military and naval resources Of
the different Powers who will figure immediate
ly upon the scene =

OLD NEws.-The Tribune yesterday gave us
a column of important State secrets connected
with the Gadsdcn treaty, the substance Of which,
and a great deal more, was published in the
HERALD several months ago. Two or three
months hence they will probably discover that
Mr. Buchanan has made an important treaty
with England Our philosophers must whip up.

The RECENT STATE EIEcTIoNs.-The Wash
ington Union says that the Nebraska question
did not enter into the recent political contests at
the elections in New Hampshire, Connecticut
and Rhode Island. In this opinion we are In
clined to concur. We don't think the Nebras-
ka question or the proposal to repeal the Mis-
souri, compromise had any thing to do with the
recent defeats of the democratic party. We
trace those defeats to the connection of the
democratic party with the administration and
to no other cause : the character of Mr. Pierce's
Cabinet quite accounts for the disasters. So
far us the Nebraska question and the Missouri
compromise are concerned, they are still be-
fore the country and will remain so for some
time: they will be thoroughly canvassed and
discussed both in and out of Congress before a
final vote is taken upon them.

tion on the part Of the three governments VIII
be an effort to crush him. Judging from the
present equivocal attitude of Prussia, and it's
consequent influence upon the policy of the
Cabinet of Vienna, there is nothing extravagant
in the speculation that in the year 1855, as in
1914, we may behold the spectacle of north
ern coalition laundering at the gates of Paris,
whilst the incumbent of that "bascless fabric,
called the imperial throne of France, is putting
a lifting climax to his career of avuncular imi-
tation by signing the abdication Of his functions
on the famous round table of Fontainebleau
Nothing more likely unless Louis Napoleon to
save himself from ruin in time, should head the
revolution, and abandon the English alliance
for sudden compact with the newborn democ--
racy of Europe.
The FRENCH AT HAYTL-We published few
days since full details Of the difference between
his sable Majesty Faustin the First and the
French Admiral at Port au Prince, which was
near leading to open hostilites In another
part of our paper will be found letter copied
from the Courier des EtatS Unis, which seeks
to establish different version Of the story, but
which, it will be seen, substantially confirms it.
1t is not long since the Courier endeavored in
the same manner to qualify a statement trans
mitted to us by one Of our correspondents
respecting similar attempt on the part of the
commander Of q French ship to bully the gov
eminent Of Santana at st. Domingo into COM
pliance with his demands. We Thought that we
had administered a lesson to our contemporary
on that occasion that would have effectsally
prevented his attempting again to impugn the
accuracy of our information. 1t appears. how
ever, that the French government organs here
have too strong an interest in mrepresenting
and perverting the facts at present transpiring
in the quarter referred to, to render it
scrupulous about the truth Of what it pub
lish. The recent occurrences at St. Domingo.
and Port au Prince show pretty clearly that
France has Interior objects in view with regard
to the island, which it requires but favorable
opportunity to develope.
