bring the Muscovite at to terms, but not else.
The French and English commanders are anxious
10 do as much damage to Russia as possible with
the least sacrifice of life and the smallest damage to
The shipping on their own side; for they know well
that Nicholas cares nothing about the sacrifice of
Russian blood and treasure, and that bloody en-
yagements, in which both sides suffer, would be
represented in Russia as victories.
All eyes are now directed to those renowned for
tifcations, sebastopol and Cronstadt. Before very
ong these places must be attacked by the French
and English. No serious impression will be made
Dn the Autocrat until they are in ashes and the
general impression is that it will cost the allied
Powers many lives and ships to destroy them.
Slowly the Northern neutral Powers are arming;
and their refusal to speak out to which side they
Intend to take and the gigantic nature Of their
ike preparations, show how well matched the chief
CONTESTANTS are believed to be, and what stupen-
aous and enduring struggle is considered to be i'm
pending. Formerly England would have made
short work Of this neutrality. She would have pro-
nounced, in voice Of thunder, " She that is not
with me is against me.' But England now en-
treats-she does not demand. The Duke of Cam
bridge delayed joining the army in the East in
order to visit Vienna, to compliment the Emperor
Df Austria on his wedding and to coax him to join
the Western Powers Admiral Napier has attempt
ed to visit the neutral soveregns in the Baltic but
sometimes they have not been at home. All this
Is significant. The Queen Of England has h0nored
the French Ambassadors ball with her presence.
This was to proclaim the alliance Of the Western
Powers as ostentatiously as possible. It .was an
unusual honor conferred on diplomatic junction
ary, and considering her Majesty's friendship for
the Orleans family, and how scErvily the latter
have been treated by the French Emperor, the at

Greeks have promoted instruction in Turkey,
and are now following their old trade of pi-
racy; an English merchant crew have been bar
barously murdered by them. Old Goblet foretod
that the Greeks would be Russianized; and 1t has
proved true. The land Of Demosthenes and Peri

paraguay d'Hillers, the French Ambassador at
Constantinope, has been bullying the poor Sultan
es bad as Menschikoff did. How deplorably weak
has the poor Ottoman become, to be browbeaten by
friends and foes! The Turks say that the Russians
tore leaves from the Koran, but that the French
will kick the holy book into the Bosphorus. The
strength of the Western alliance will be sorey tried
when the soldiers of France and England, who
have nothing in common but bravery, commence
fighting together. The alliance OF the two! ar

more harm to society than the Car il doing: The

monarchy. The Times openly denounces the Queen

Naples is called the modern Caligula; and "a for
the Gar Of MusOovy, nearly all Europe would glory
In his assasaination. When the reigning Duke Of
