this occasion lias made an honourable com mencement in the name of europe she has prepared arms for common assistance in her situation no ambitious projects can he ascribed to her she returns with respect to russia in favour of europe to the grand part she has been playing against austria in favour of germany this thought is far superior to thrt which has been expressed before the french deputies sometimes even in a harsh manner so much the better has it been said that the russian colossus should take a direction towards the east well but who has told you that this torrent will not move back again towards the north and the west that after having enlarged itself and ac quired strength towards the eastit will not fall with renewed weight upon the western nations let rome take the

charta let us enter into the charta do not let us go from the charta respect fidelity and success to our institutions no thing can be better but the charta will not save constantinople nor greece nor eu rope the charta will give us much without doubt but it will not take from russia an inch of ground that she may wish to con quer aud retain to the common detriment well this is what we must obviate and against which we must prepare ourselves since these six years that we commenced writing on the affairs of greece we have uot ceased anoouncingthe certainty of war between russia and turkey in spite of the perseverance and the efforts ofcabiuets to prevent it the treaty of ackcrman never appeared to us to he any thing more than au adjournment which hid but for a very short time an unavoidable explosion even had this treaty been concluded with sincerity by turkey it did not attain the real cause of quarrel always existing between these two states this is in the nature of things that is to say in the weight with which russia bears upon turkey for these hundred years the former is advancing to wards the latter she increases and turkey diminishes until now they have been at a distance and the weight has been support able but having come so close as they now are it has become overbearing it is to shake it off it is from the feeling tho evils it causes that the sultan as taken up arms pie words r ussia is crushing mc i can no longer remain in this oppressed state it is in this general view that the question is to be considered let the present quarrel be appeased loiiiorroiv for the same causes a new one will arise it is tho history of the three punic wars succeeding each other in spite of all the pacific solemnities be cause there was something above all these the natural incompatibility of rome aud carthage in all our former works as well as in this we have endeavoured to show the weakness and imbecility of the ottoman empire the proof was shown by the impossibility of her reducing the greeks to submission when 3001 eu ropean soldiers could have conquered aud exterminated them tho present war completes the demonstration of this falling off of turkey she has not been able to show an army worthy of this name some of her towns have defended themselves others have opened their gates the turks fight well under the cover of their walls

russian loss is stated to have been 3- 000 killed aud 24 pieces of cannon taken the odessa account of the 3d alludes to the attack but with great brevity and without saying a word about the result it says merely that the last account from head quarters at bazardjik mention that the turks attacked our position in the night of the 27th of august it was in the action with gen itmliger at este stamhoul that lieut ivanhofl was killed he had been at tschifick between choumla and este stamhoul and is sup posed to have advaoccd to the support of gen rudigcr at the latter place the russians

ofnccelerat- nough to return thither on that lino the turkish frontier is studded with fortresses it seems that the russians at first in or der not to waste time thought of taking these places by

ineontestiblc fact which is that sinco the departure of the emperor the chances of war had not been favourable to his armies the bloody sortie of varna the check of general rudiger and the retaking by
