f The sutan II be true that KOssuth goes to Tur-
kew At the request Of AbdulMedjid, with regard TO
which we await further information there can no oag
., be doubt that the Porte anticipates the addition
Of Iustria to It's declared enemies and s preparing to
keep that power busy at home by new rising IN Hun
rar an example which. OF course, viii at once Do ioi
lowed in Italy. At the same time, we hsve to an
noupce that public feeling in England Is daily 0econ-
inc more inAamed The excitement is not only d.
rected against the Ministry for its weak and
treacberous conduct in the Turkish question, but
Prince Albert is openly charged with CON-
plieity with Russia, and the Queen herself
is no longer regarded with the exubersnt loyalty
as before 1t is surprising to the rOughness with
which the Prince is handled by journals once filed
with respect ard devotion for bis person and character
Indeed there has been no such srringup OF the pop
ulsr elements in England since the times othe Reform
Bill The public at large are hot for war; and Of this
the late articles of The London Times upon the Turkish
naval disaster alone afford conclusive e7dence AT no
moment since the commencement of the difficulties
have the chances peace been 80 faint and the proba
btes Of general war strong That such dire con-
yulson is certain do not say it may be that some
means Of escape yet be found but we are bound to
declare that the horizon reddens with the menace OF
universal eonfagration. We do not hail the omen
with pleasure Our faith is in the triumPhs Of indus
try, of science, and the gradual acquisition Of free
dom through the growth Of material and social we'll
being In the caDg Of arms the arts which elevate
the masses and add to the capabilities Of man are 81
fenced and obscured, and military power asserts its
brutal supremacy. II is possible that when Europe
emerees exhausted and decimated, from the now i'm
minent contest, some few districts may be in more
conpenia hands some single tribes have achieved
meature of independence; just as it is certain that
one power which has played mOmentOus part in
history, and one ancient house, that of Hapsburg-
which has long boasted an almost unequaled sway
will be overthrown and abolished But leaving aside
these circumstances we can draw no smiling horo-
scope for the now probable cOnvulson nor do we be-
ieye that the liberties of Europe in general or the
progress Of all that really elsvates and ennobles Man
can be advanced thereby But in saying this, let us
never forget the truth that if general must fol-
low, it has two causes, namely the wicked and un-
jusfabe pretensons Of Russia, and the tmid, base,
hypoc1itical conduct of the British and French Gov
ernments The weight Of responsibility leson these
powers but above all on Russia, the sggressOr and
source of the entire difficulty. 1t is the Car who
fears not to disturb the peace Of the world to inter-
rupt its prosperity TO bOundless and irrepara
bic waste of money and Of life, all upon the most
frivolous and worthless pretexts. Let there come,
then if the struggle is inevitable BETTING chsstise
ment for the fragrant and gigantic wckedness of the
despot who thus arroganty CANDLES with the blood
and treasure Of his people, and puts in peril the
dearest interests of Mankind
