RUSSIA HUMBLED.

we need barely cell attention to The remark
able 'e.ter which we plblsh in sro:he, cOlamn.
touching the corssqusncss to Russia aud to Ed

A the Judgment OF wen-informed and
clesr.seeirg man. who helts tae oonvie-
tion-snd in our estimation It q well
foupd.d-sbat in the present struggle the
cause of Russia is tbat OF civilization, and Der
defeat an injury to the progress of the world the
contents OF this letter merit 8 careful consldera-
ton even from those who DO not tolerate Its opin-
ions while the most enthusiastic partisan of the
Allies could not desire more frank aud sweeping
admission of the scope of their victory than is
here made, by one who deplores it az calamity.
1t is true that feeling Of bitter regret coors and
hphtens these interesting statements, jus! as some
other parts of the letter,-the allUsiozs to Kos
suth for example.-sre marked BY tone Of pas
sion bnd breadth of expression, which, though
they may be excused by the fact that the author
did not write for publication, his friend, to whom
we are indebted for the letter would not allow US
to admit or modify.
In one respect we cannot altogether agree with
the view Of this letter concerning the continuance
of the war We are told that il has but now COM
mepced, ard will be waged henceforth upon a
prander scale but where it is TO find it's theater,
we do not perceive The intelligent publlclst,
whose letter we are commenting on, admits That
the Russians will not attempt to regain the
Crimea certainly neither Austria nor Prussia will
now be likely to join them against the Western
alliance thus transferring the to the Rhine
and to Italy; and as for sending another and more
powerful army to resume the last combat on the
lower Danube, that would be almost as difficult for
the Russian Government and as Improbable as an
attack upon the Crimea. Under these circum-
stances the war would seem to be virtual! con-
cluded in Europe Let the Allies maintain sutli
cie1t force 10 the Crimes, with reserves az hand
to strengthen the Turkish army on the Danube
up to the necessary point; and let them occspy
the Baltic, the Black Sea and the Sea of AEON,
ss they have done during the past season, sad
we DO not ses what Russia can DO to help her
self She will probably not make peace at once
On the conditions shich the Allies may pre-
scr be, but if they hold out, she must swallow
the m a. last, however hard, unless some unex-
peoted ch.Dge Of fortune should reverse the
relstive positions of TIE parties. But we doubt
whether very hard conditions will be imposed
upon herr both Pslmers.On and Napoleon will
be inclined to spare her all avOidab.e hpmilia-
ton, and there woald be nothing to cause sur
prise in the conclusion Of pesce before another
campaign
