nothing Of any importance, az regards
the Turkish War. II 10 the same old
s,ereoiyped story. Prince Psskiewiich
is not dead, three English s,esmers sailed
so near Odessa, that, by means Of q tele-
scope Of immense msguifying power they
discovered that the Russian flag was fy.
ing, the Greeks have attempted to sssss.
sinate Lord Raglan, the Aus,rians have
entered Wallachiu, ETC., etc., etc.
The allies have not, as yet, struck a
blow. The armies are marching. and
counter marching, one-half the time, the
other half lying at ease in their quarters,
living on the fat Of the land. All the
fighting that has occurred, has been done
by the Turks.
But this cannot last long. England
and France cannot retreat from the posi-.
ton they have assumed, and when they
see that Nicholas is not TO be over-reached
in diplomacy, or frightened by a mere
show Of arms, they must close with him,
and test their boosted powers. Austria
is warering, apparently not knowing
which side 10 take. Francis Joseph dare
not incur the hostility of France and
England, and he owes debt et gratitude
TO Russia for crushing the Hungarians,
and may need his services again. He too
must take a position, but upon which side
; he will throw his influence, is a question
involved in much doubt. But that there
must be general war-a war in which
every power in Europe must take sides
is evident, and all that it is wanting to sci
the ball in motion, is action on the par,
of Austria.
x And such war, about, what Cities
desolated, countries devastated, commerce
destroyed, treasure wasted. thousands o.
lives lost, mankind set back in their pro.
gress a century, and all at the bidding o.
one man, yclept an Emperor!
Yet good results may follow. Wher
: Europe is stirred to its cen,re-torn anl
rent by the fierce factions that are now
preparing, when the tyrants have grapplet
with each other, then the people will ris'
and avenge the wrongs that have beef
heaped upon them. Old ideas, old pref
udices will be swept away, new national
. tiles will spring up, Democracy will sup
. plant Absolu,ism, and then, and not til
= then, will the Reign Of Peace commence
- II may take years 10 accomplish it, bu
that it must come 10 this there can be n
doubt.
