Eu. this is not the Only lesson taught to the hu-
man race and 70 ambitions princes, by the war in
the tTinea. Men are not only startled by this ex-
peno:tlre Of blood and Of treasure-n an age. toe,
when the Improvement Of cur kind is one OF the
boosted advantages Of our lot, as compared with
past geIeradons-h but they are made sensible OF
the hollow pretences that too often nGugurete and

the cause that inpeiled England and France to de-
clare war against Russia is at all understood oy the
world at large it was that Of protecting Turkey IN

separating the city, probably, into two divisions,
tie one English, the other French. The inposs-
bilty from its importance of giving it wholly to
either party will compel 10 this arrangement, with

There are sixteen millions Of Christians in Tur-

the Allies mean 10 operate the dismemberment Of
