effect that taking the two years preceding the gres

THE EASTERN WAR.

If the statements by the Arctic are relia
able that Austria and Prussia have Joined ii
Western Powers in guaranteeing the integri
| ty of Turkey, and will demand that the Czal
evacuate the Principalities, it is not probable
that Russia will hold out long against such a
combination. 1t is impossible for Nicholas
to face the whole of Europe in arms, and in
such case, he may be pardened for conclu-
ding that discretion is the better part of va.
lor. The world will not think less of his spi.
rit for making an honorable peace, if it can
be made, when there are such Overwhelming
odds against him. He can afford to 'bide his
tlme,' with France and England and here
after leave his ungrateful neighbor of Austria
to put down her own rebellions. a
We fear there is but little chance for an
united popular movement in Europe, now
that Russia and Austria have joined the Yves
tern Powers, and arrayed themselves appa-
rently in opposition to despotism. This whole
Eastern question is so far magnificent fai-
lure. .a-
