ENGLAND TRICKED.
The Ottoman Capital Occupied by
the Russians.
Russia's Triumph-The Feeling in
England.

LONDON, Feb. THE advertiser says
We have reason to believe that the gov
eminent has received information OF tho
entry OF the Russian army into Constan-
tinople. At any rate, If the government
10 not In possession of this news, the
Russian embassy is.
The Post says the Russians are In Con-
stantinOple. This was the news last
night current In London, and we incline
10 think 1t is based upon official authentic
Intelligence. The message has come via
Alexandria. We do not know at this
moment what the precise nature OF the
occupation is. According to some diplo-
matists the Russians have possessed
themselves OF two forts on the BoyOnk
and Chemdi lines; according to Others
they have gained still greater advantages.
Details are OF small moment practically.
All are agreed that the capital OF Turkey
and key to the east Is in the hand, of the
car. Indignation will be OF little avail.
1t will be alleged that no deception has
been practiccd, and We shall discover
that this was one OF the terms OF armis>
tice which was never communicated to
us. Yesterday British military and
naval force could at any moment have
occupied Constantinople. while the
Austrian army could have cut Rus
sian communication. To>dsy the
situation is entirely altered. A British
feet can no longer advance to Constan-
tlnople and may lind itself even barred
out Of the Dardanelles. The car can
now afford to laugh at Austrian menaces
since his communications are open from
Constantinople to Odessa or Sebastapol.
! Our pottering over trumpery of six
millions will probably cost US ten times
that sum. But, whatever the cost, it is
still to be hoped that the country will see
its honor vindicated. This direct at
tack upon our honor will raise feeling
OF resentment not to be appeased until
we have taught our foe that we have the
will and power 10 punish chicanery and
maintain the empire which he is seeking
70 undermine.
