The War In EurODe.

The last mail brings us news of interest
fromt the theatre Of the European struggle,
Russia has definitely evacuated WaIlachia
and Moldavia; or more properly speaking
has been driven out Of both provinces by
the Turks A resumption of negotiations
has followed this event. Count Nesselrode
Minister Of the Gar, has attempted to
show, in diplomatic note, that Austria
has now no reason to side against Rnssia,
seeing that the evacuation Of the province
Of Judgad, by Austria, q necessary -eOndi-
tion, has taken. place The British, and
French cabinets have penned, 6h thiS-occa-
sion, several new notes to show that the Fs-
treat from the Danubian- provinces having
been an act Of necessity, cannot be viewed
as an indication of any new concifiatory
disposition on the part of Russia The
Austrian government looks and talks big,
in proportion as the chances Of war 90
against Russia. The statesmen Of Vienna
now put on fierce look towards that pow
Ier, and soy, with England and France,
that she must give security for her future
good behavior. IL is evident that Austrio
would have now no particular objection to
the oyster, ID est, the Danubian provinces,
for which Turkey and RussiA have been
contending. .srzT5,
Our Eastern contemporaries make merry
at this state of things, and indulge in o.
considerable amount Of paradoxical reason
ing. If we may believe them, the war Is
now no nearer close than it was year
ago, and they taunt the allied powers, pai-
tcularly France and Great Britain, with
the Insignificant results that have been OBJ
tanned by their past and cumbrous arms
ments. .T a'l .>o7g z7t ~ II
We are net exactly Of -the-OPiniOR -of tho
papers referred to- ,Wethinh i is great
deal to bold Russia, blockaded within her
ports, in the Black Sea, as wen as in the
Baltic, to have compelled her, like huge
snake, to gather in her folds and withdraw
from the Danubian provinces p 1t appears
to US, as il must appear to every ldispas-
siouatS observer, that the power which has
been forced to abandon the positions she
held in the outset, is worse of than those
that have forced her to this abandonment.
Had Russia evacuated Wallaehia and Mel.
davia, when summoned to do it at the com.
mencement Of hostilities, Great Britain
and France would have forthwith counter
manded their ornaments. Now, she, offers
this concession, and they refuse TO accept
it, The induction Is irresistible; the chan
ces have so far gone against the Gar, and
have turned against the Allied PoweplsIo
Neither do we think with our Eastern
exchanges, that it would be better for the
United States, or for civilization, were
Russia to get the upper hand. Ai Whath
terest can the people Of the United States
take in the progress Of q domination, which
Is hostile to human freedom, which IS hos
tile to the expansion Of the mind, which
brings ignorance, fanaticism and human
degradation in its tSain. ''so .ul ',Il
Why, our very negroes are supelrios to
the degraded serfs, Of Russial Fdnaticlsm
and the knout have nearly obIiterated that
divine spark which Providence has planted
so deeply in the breast Of man /; have near
ly ,extinguished those noble aspirations Of
knowledge. and freedom which have ever
characterised the white branch Of the .hn-
man family ! Were the Cossacks to bring
in their train freedom and civilization, II
would matter little in our. eyes, whether
they or their opponents prevailed, the "
suit being the same for humanity. But foes
as they are to those great interests which
we, as q democracy, have, and must Non-
tinue to have at heart, We moan freedom
and civilization, our sympathies must, at
least for the present, 60 with their ADVERSE
