at once curious and important and that his intelligence is drawn from all points and quarters which bear upon the question and the various topics discussed in all enlarged and statesmanlike manner

liiioiiipuro wwi some fifteen years ago upon these argu ments it appears to us that while there can be uo doubt of the rapidly increasing strength of russia there are securities against any undue use of her vast force such as the wild aim at universal empire could inspire the author indeed him self suggests at the present moment a close union between england and france as sufficient to recall the emperor nicholas from the prosecution of the turkish war with any idea of aggrandisement and should the russian eagle even wave over the minarets of constantinople and all the country submit unless a wise and mode rate system were immediately adopted in unison with the common interests of na tions surely a timely sense of common dan- ger would combine the three mighty pow ers of austria france and england against the aggressor and who can doubt the result rut this is presuming of which there is no proof that russia enter taius such boundless prospects of extended rule and domination hitherto she has gone hand iu hand with other kingdoms and we believe there is jealousy enough alive every where to lead to precautious and resistance whenever any disposition is evinced to overstep the right line of gene ral policy besides we are among those who entertain no very appalling dread of universal empire the history of the world shews us that tho attempt has in variably brought rum on the attemptcrs and the very lesson of buonaparte him self to whose efforts those anticipated by the author on the part of russia are com pared is surely too recent and too terrible to encourage any similar mad scheme of ambition and again we would suggest as a consolatory reflection against these predicated evils that ave are unacquainted with any period at which it could be shewn ntof one

we shall therefore copy a few paragraphs to illustrate ii from the many that are most worthy ofbeing well considered on the subject of milita ry colonisation in russia respecting which it will be remembered dr lyall first sounded the alarm colonel evans ob serves the foreign policy of a state whose grandeur is founded upon conquest must characteristically be that of conquest ltis of course in furtherance of this policy that the great and novel plan of military colonization has been devised eventually this it appears is to place at the disposal of government three millions of males trained from the earliest age to military exercises and lo beheld constant ly in readiuess to reinforce the embodied army whether this number is to be the maximum will of course depend upon cir cumstances the settlements granted to the roman legions wcro chiefly for de fence and for services performed these appear to concern the futuro more than the past arc obviously calculated rather to assail than protect the consequence if not the intention is plaiuly the founda tion of an immense military caste whose confirmed habits aud separate interests must no less dispose and qualify them to rivet the chains of their owu countrymeu than to impose an equally galling bondage ou every surrounding people what po litical institution democratic or other wise can be so inimical to the safety of other states as the uucalled for prepara tion of such permanent and overwhelming meaus of aggression again in addition to the enormous and unprecedented military establishment of russia an ukase has been just promul gated for the conscription of a reiuforcc- allegin grieved nd thus tho moderating impar tiality and controlling discretion of the government is but too often subdued to the purposes if the complainants the reality of the poer mans distress is all this time overloukrb or made use of to point some collateral argument as matter for some vague hai or perhaps is didatcd on with st
