Prospect o. Anotker quarrel Be
tween England and Russia.

relations Of snity dnd good will between
England snd Russis. The hostile feeling /
continues to be manifested between the re-
spective governments, and il would be BY no
means surprising If the sullen streak now
existing should be followed by bloody war.
To show how the conduct OF Russia Is re-
gOrded in England we publish below an ex- I
tract from an article that lately appeared in
the london Morning Post, the especial or.

One could have hoped that with new
Gar and the return Of peace change
would have come over the spirit of Russian
diplomacy, and that, taught by disaster, the
Emperor Alexander wonh have appeared a
sndder and wiser sovereign. But adVersi-I
ty it appears, Is without its 'sweet uses" for
kingly or imperial heads The elder Bour-
bons, we know, "learned nothing and forgot
nothing" and it may be said Of the House OF

Increased experience, is no wiser us a sover.

grcssionsof Russia by the treaty signed be-
tween England and FRANCE in 1854, and
now that, owing 20 the effect of that treaty,
the schemes oil Peter and his successors, for
the possession aud Capture Of Constanstno-
! pie, are thwarted, the tactics Of the Russian
Cabinet have completely changed. Well
aware that it was only by the union oil Eng
land end France that Constantinople was
savcdthe chief object OF Russia is to SOW dis
trust between the two great Western Pow
ers, and so to sever an alliance which stands
in the way Of future aggression. To achieve
this grand objectno expenditure Of fraud, Of
; trcaehcry, oil lying, Of cajolery, Of money,
or of Mchiavelism, will be spared. Millions
aud millions o! silver roubles have been,
. and will be, expended in every quarter of
Europe, and in some quarters out oI Europe,
! to wit: America aud Africa; nor will first
n or second failure defer Cabinet which
e speculates so largely on the credulity aud
