It may b. uE1tt that, weak as Turkey
is compared " b Russia, she Will prove
more than q mo. &. for her IN this war of
sclE-defcnce, aal ltat the invaders will,
b fore many weeks are over, have to
sign nn ignomiuiouS peace. 1t may be
SO the future is always full Of surprises
But ii is easy 10 see many facts which, TO
pay the Least, make sGch a result unlikely.
This, il the st place, is not one Of
tAtse WGrs which are fought to settle
some point of h0rGuI or of minor interest.
It is a contest b.lWecn two races, in
famed by hereditary aud mutual alimoSi-
~. There ia not a Russian but believes
that his county must some day fight to
the death with Turkey. Both Russians
and turks have been prepared Ivy centu-
ries Of religious aud national ate for the
contest. The Russians. we dare say, are
now sorry that they struck a. this par
%ticulor moment. TLey may think that
they ought to have waited uutil even tia
miIit4ry organization OF Turkey had hl,en
to pieces, until theiF own army had
been better armed aud their officers better
educated. They may believe that thoy
have committed an enormous bIuuder.
But it is a very different thing to abandon
the e~nterptiee ni The fist pressure of de-
feat from such a foe as the Porte. The
Russian people have often shown that
they possess a rare store of tenacity. No
people, in fact, have more patiently borne
a succession of calamities witnout fl nch-
ing. The nature Of their resistance TO
Napoleon is sufficient to stamp their
character for ever. Thus, while we hear
from our special correspondent in st.
Petersburg of their Indignation at the
blunders of their Generals, we de not hear
one word of auy disposition to surrender.
They would find such a resolution the
more humiliating because it would give
over the Christians OF Turkey to the ven.
geapce of the Mahomedans. The advance
of the Russian armies has made thousands
of Bulgarians compromise themselves by
expressing sympathy with the invaders, or
by giving them direct aid. It has done
far more than that, for it has laid the
whole Of the Christian population open
to the, charge Of sstivs dialoyalty. Thus
