The WAR.-Europe is awake to the fact that
the mightiest resources are required by the
) magnitude of the struggle in which it has be-
come involved by the difficulties between Tur-
key and Russia. If there ever existed doubt.
none exists now that the Emperor Of Russia
will not abate one jot of his original demands.
and that the reverses he has suffered on the
Danube have not induced him to swerye from
the pretensions which he so arrogantly advanc-
ed year and a half ago. Such q resolution
can betOken nothing less than q protracted
war; but as the forces of Austria will now. by
conditions of her own making, he brought into
action. and as the unanimity Of France and
England is entire and Interchangeable, it is con-
idently predicted that the result of the con.
f1ict will be the discontinue and chastisement
OF that power whose overbearing ambition has
brought such a calamity upon the world
