u ! ne elllance between England ana
France is virtually dissolved, as all mutual
confidence has bssn apparently destroyed
The treaty Of Paris remains unfulflled in
some of It's most important stipulations. Aus
tria refuses to evacuate the Turkish princi-
palities, and England declines to withdraw
her feet from the Black Sea. England, Aus
tria and the Porte are suspected of acting in
secret concert, and France, Prussia and Rus
sis have counter designs. Lord Palmsrston
openly declares that renewal of hostilities is
possible that under certain contingencies war
will be inevitable. He has already preferred
before the English public long bill of indict-
ment against Russia for various acts of bad
faith, both Of omission and commission. The
English papers declare that Europe is over
run. with Russian agents and spies, who are
controlling the measures of courts and direct
ing the opinions Of influential society by a
lavish expenditure of gold. It is an old charge
against Russia that she accomplishes her de-
signs throughout Europe, by bribery and the
intrigues of hes secret agents. There is
seeming Inconsistency now in these charges,
when we were, but few months ago, told
that the Russian treasury had been entirely
drained, and her resources exhausted by the
var, TO close which she had submitted to
terms of'an degrading peace tosave herselffrom
bankruptcy.
The Moniteur, the organ Of the French EN-
peror, accuses England of attempting to throw
obstacles in The way of complete execution
Of the terms Of peace, and of sowing the seeds
/ of discord among the allies, to bring about a
renewal Of hostilities, in which she hopes to
repair the damages done to her honor and
fame in the last war. England evidently has
no great dread Of naval war, that shall not
disturb or endanger her commerce, and in
which she could Theoretically seal up Russia
by closing the entrances to the Baltic and
Black Seas. England, with her navy could
cut off Russian maritime commerce, and with
out attempting to invade her territory, infict
serious injury and maintain the war at small
cost, beside the ordinary support of her navy.
Franco on the contrary, is in political
financial and commercial condition, that re
tquires the whole energy and sagacity of its
government 10 prevent an internal explosion,
that will oysi throw the government and derange,
for period the industrialand commercial in
torests of TIE Empire Napoleon anxiously
desires to preserve peace, till France shall
have passed the present crisis.
Russia never designed to relinquish much
by the terms Of peace; and probably sought
only time for the new Emperor to reorganize
the administration Of the Empire, and firmly
fix himself upon the throne, and change the
front Of his army; and he is now ready to
meet his foes. If England cuts him off from
external commerce by sea with Europe
which is Of small consequence to the prospect
ty OF his Eupire-he will cultivate the inter
nal trade, and the foreign trade by land with
Europe and Asia, which is of vastly greater i'm
portance than the maritime commerce And
while the English fleets are lying in the Darda-
nelles and at Elsineur, Russia will be pushing
her gigantic sr4-lios through Persia into Brit
ish India. SIZE has already, by her intrigpes
at The Po4alsn ~sG4S ST. the Key 70 India by
the possession Of hcrat; to regain which Eng
land IS about haginning n war with Persia
II Russia shall sornbine Persia and the warIike
tritas Of Northern India INTO an alliance
against the British possessions in India, they
iwould be swept from the British crown in a
single campaign. In alliance with Prussia. the
Fl German States, and France on the West
Russia would haze little to fear, although
backed by England, from Austria on the South
west, whose Hungarian and Polish provinces
ever ready for revolt, lie open to the invasion
, Of the Cars gigantic armies. One reflection
goes through all these speculations, that what
ever may be the course of events with these
rival jealous powers Of Europe, peace or war
will bring haryests of commercial prosperity
to US. War under the new principles of inter
national law IN regard to neutrals-Will secure
us profitable carrying trade; and peace can
not fail, with its benefcent influences on Eu
i rope and Asia,-in opening new channels, ant
{ improving old routes of trade; and bringing the

our commerce. AS we survey the course o
