trade. These things We rejoice to have done, but
little inclined to forget that the very enemy
whom have treated has realiated upon US, not,
certainly, to the extent but still in degree per-
ceptibly injurious and unpleasant. The heavy fall of
rain which has arrived at this, the most critical
period Of the year, comes to remind that by the
war the area from which derive supplies
of wheat is considerably diminished. We reminded
by the rain that is about this of year that

If we exclude Russia from the Baltic and the Euxne
there doubt she excludes just etecually from
the produce Of the rich valley Of the Danube and Of the
Southern provinces of her empire by her control the
Suna mouth There are enormous stocks OF grain locked
up within that river Of which Russia holds key. Why
have we not attempted to open our way into this vast
servor food and to berate the produce Of these fer

laid upon them This must arise from Of two

possible that, possible, il Is not worth the trouble

enterprise there NAV OF course be reasons of which

forcing the entrance Of the Danube and asserting the

abshed those Of the Euxne and Sea of Azof With
the cooperation OF land force and with the probability
almost amounting to certainty that the extreme in
which the Russians have found themselves of sending

sons in this quarter far below the point OF efficiency
enterprise would appear more promising and more
never be said in warthan the attempt to give back
TO this noble stream and 10 silence the bate

cannot avoid the suspicion that something of the
kind would have been attempted long ago, with
the very ample placed at our disposal,
had not been for the fear OF offending that Power
which has conrived possess herself of the Principa
Titles, but evinces very strong desire to open
the readiest to them to the fleets and armies
Of the allies However this may be, we apprehend that
there the strongest reasons military and commercial
why such On attempt should be made In a military
point Of view the ascent of the Danube by the allied o
la and the attack Of the fortresses its banks by
such forces could be spared to cooperate with the
Turks would not only hold out very reasonable pros
pect of success but would certainly operate very
powerful diversion We have hitherto voluntarily denied
to ourselves the advantage which might attain by at
lacking Russia on many different points distracng her
attention, dividing her forces and wearing them by
constant marches and counermarcEes. Now that Aus
tra and Prussia have relieved enemy from any ap
prehensions TO their possible hostility Russia Is free
to concentrate all her forces except those required to
guard the shores Of tin Baltic from purely naval attack
