aCroRGE SANDERS, Esq--My Dear Sir: II is now two
yeas since yenured observe that Fsnce and EOgand
would ultimately unite, and become formidable thorn to
America in laval affairs; 6nd cannot bat think things
ere rapidly working bring about my prediction Ii has
been my lot for years and upward TO watch the contnu
ous changes which have taken place in the worlds govern
mont and have seen with the allpowcrul inha
ence Of England in keeping back improvement under the
dolusve plea that her glorious constitution" was the
acme ofhumcn invention, and that must be taught to
feel the truth by every possible means which its a
tocrstc rulers could devise quite agree with distn
cushed emb,r of the late Government of England when

"sy" end should not be doing justice to my experience
IL did not consider this the appropriate definition Of
her glorious Constitution Of which the i'll informed subjects
of Her Meesiy boast much Russia blind to this
fact and The time has arrived when she feels herself pre-
rsrsd to prove that she will longer submit TO be duped
by the crazy statesmen OF her once mot faithful ally.
mo sensible can, for single moment believe that
England feels any further interest for the unfortunate Turk
than What serves her special purpose and she has been

il apps that she the defender Of the weak against the
strong How far France collectively believes her know
not but the purpose Of the present Emperor act
in concert with her under this barefaced presumption The
late King France purchss his right TO wear the crown
from England and Napoleon very clearly treads in the
Path of his predecessor aud most probably will share the

uniting Prussia with Denmark the side and Sweden
and Norway the other side in confederate union with

but she will not be able 70 absorb those countries and
smalcsmase them With Rus,s II she wished IT, and
further England and France woud ultimately hberste Eu
