E been argued by our own statesmen, and as event ab fully Justited, that we cau erdsh Reus Whenever we think proper to forth oar This, indeed, he said in 1791 of Saqtand , an It is no great wouder if in 1363 we only ventured 0 fay this of the two great Western Pow- ers. He predicted, indeed, that the task must be more dificult year by year, and accordingly aska— “Firet, whether it is equitable aud politic that the shold be given out of bac if frour the promontory ividing and conne ting the Euxins ard Mediterranean ; secondly, whether it is consistext with the safety of Great Britain ‘to allow the Court of St. Petersburg to found, as it were, a new sovereignty on the destruction the Ottoman empire.” “Assuming the only ible answer to these questions, he proveeds:— * How can Ministera acquil the'nselves to their sovereign, their country, and posterity, if they permit a Power to rise ito existence, to maturity, thst will not only eclipse, het may eventually extinguish ‘tie very me of Britain?” He proceeds to poiut ont that her Powers aiming at universal empire had so dealt with; that France herself had deen forced to confine her dominion ia Euro) between the the Rhire and the Pyrenees; and ho only the same measure to Rissia:—' Way should claim an exemption from restric: tions to which other sovereizus have submitted? ‘Why should Russia be suffered to acquire an ad- edition of force that may enable her prescribe the law imperiously to surrounding nations, and be- seome the arbitress of the world?” And the writer sadds— It ia not against what ebe will, bu agiiast what she may hereufter do, that we are to guard; to prevent oppresi than test ier We have opp! ion than to resist it.’ ‘e have ha the hart ler ee ee to - a pete b teers yepared, cked wit! whole force of Buses. ‘The increase of difficulty is the price we pay for our protracted aufftrance. Wo have at last been obliged to come to the very expedieut suggested by the writer before us, and which, sixty- four years ago, would doubtless have been more ef- fectoal. “A British fleet at this instant,” he says, “in the Baltic would, perhaps, operate more strongly ‘in persuading Russia to restore to Turkey, and leave our »lly in repose, than all the rhetoric and all the arguments in favor of equity and ex- ediency that the noble lord in the Foreign nt and the two geutlemen on mission at St. Petersburg cold possibly advance.” ‘We need haidly say what uoble lord or what gen- tlemen in the British Parliament will suggest them- selves to the reader of this passage. We are now sufficiently aware of the superior eilicacy of a fleet in the Baltic and another in the Black 3ca compared with all the eloquence or argument that miuisters or plenipoten' could address to Russia. In this respect the lapse of two generations has not altered the comparative power of words and deeds whea ad to the Russian ear. Such, then, was our case pasty fous years ago, before the extinction of the French monarchy and the terrors of the Revo- lution played the game of Russia by directing the attention of Europe to anew danger. Here, then, in the heart of the last century, we are to look for the origin of the ant war; not in the arrogance of the Menechikoff mission; not in the failure of recent negotiations; not in a quarrel about holy places; but an the ambition, the insolence, and the audacity of Russia, which two generations ago were clearly seen to menace the liberty of Europe, and which even a minister of peace wus driven to meet with the threat of an appeal to arms in behalf of Turkey. Bg i 4 g i #2 Anothir Defence of England’s Recruitment =The Causes of Our Lisle Quarrets. {From the London Times. Nov. 10.) There are citizens of the United States who scem to think that their national dignity takes a great deal of keeping me We do not remember a time when there was uot some question, more or leas recoadite, on which Americans were not found ready to prove that either they or we must suffer a painful hainilia- tion. There have always been several long letters to this effect on our file, such as that froin “Americus,” in our ‘orstpen ly ‘ee er,40 positive in their assertions, 80 convincing eir argument, and so threatening in their tone, that the wonder is how both couutries have survived @ thousand appreximate collisions, not only without disaster, but even without disgrace. For aught we know, both sides have had to exhibit -occasionelly a little Chri: meekness. Certain] England his, and that not occasionally. Every Bi tish officer from Canada has borne witiiess to the fact that it is scarcely ible to keep regiments station- ed near the frontier, it being a favorite amusement with the citizens of the neighboring republic to seduce our soldiers to desertion. However, we swallow it, though our regiments sometimes come home 80 re- a ped that they might have been at all the battles in the Crimea, instead of leading a quiet barrack life in Canada. Then we are uupleasantly conscious that the Americans are ail this time driving a very retty trade with the Czar, and that their manufac- i res of small arms, gunpowder and other munitions of war are enjoying @ mysterious prosperity. If auy remonetrance has made, or any attempt to ee “the contraband of war’ inthe American ports, it has not been of a very vigorous or effectual charac- ter. But, while we have to bear with patience so much that is actually done, and that comes home to usin the form of substantial damage, there is a con- siderable party in the States who can show no such forbearance for that which, at the worst meant no offence, was only tulked of apd, sever done, and which stopped at the very threshold at the fir-t word De We say, ‘a party in the United bj States,” because we are agsured, and believe. that there are people there, and they not ivconsiderable in either number or importance, who take a very differ- ent view of international relations, and who do not think the iutercourse of two sister empires should ly be a series of violent apologies. There could be nothing very unreasonable or immoral in the idea that in the territory of the United States there might exist men desirous to fight in the cause of freedom, and even of Old d. Unquestionably, the Czar is the chief pil of de-potism in the world, and when the Americans guve Kossuth an enthusiastic reception they knew pretty well who had driven him to look for their «;mpathy. What amount of substantial sesivtance the illustrious Magyar received we do not happen to remember, but, at all events, he was feted and listened to, and encouraged to persevere, aud his health drunk o thousand times, and so many speeches of his reported at lenzth that an abridg- ment of them makes quite aviline. There was something, too,about several thousand sadd!es,which seemed to point to active operations. Was, itthen, 90 extravagant a hope, so injurious to the honor of the Americans, and likely to be so distastefal a thought, that a few of these enthusiasts might be willing to join the free States of Karope in striking a blow at the arch despot, and cutting off the foun- tain head of op; ion? There are in the terri- tory of the United States vast nambers who are not yet citizens, who are by ail law British subjects, and who have not outzrown British sympathies. The very utmost that was done at the breaking out of thas war was to open recruiting offices on British soil near the frontier, and lot it be knowa that anybody ‘would be welcome from the American side who was at liberty and telt dis to join a good cause. No office was opened in the States, and even those that ‘were opened near the trontier were shut up and the whole scheme abandoned betore the arrival of any remonstrance, and without the enrolment of a single citizen. This was the head aud front of our offending, and before even this was dose strict orders were given th)t the manicipal law of the States should be carefully respecte found, however, before anything was actually done, that there was in some quarters a disposition to fix a quarrel upon us, and #0 the whole scheme was dropped, and, if the United States wanted any satisfaction to their honor, they had it in the instant closing of recruiting offices, nut on their soil, but in their vicinity. There are those, however, who al- ways think that something must be denanded, and that nothing which is spoutaneows can possibly be enough. Sd choise in their exaction, and must have their fancy as well as their hovor fied. In Enyland we have our quarrels, and are al- ways ready to accept an explanation, in whatever shape the offender may please to offer it. Kven where there is just offence, a man who is exacting, and who shows 4 pleasure in apology bunting, turns the tables against himself. We ant pre d to say what is the internal usage in the States in this re«peet, and whether it is thought honorable or not to go o1 “ipping up asore for the pleasure of the sport; but that is what some of the citizens have Leen doing in this instance. But what a noble cause for the State to be up in armsfor!

(From the London Times, Nov. 13.) Just as we were hoping that the cloads which have fora moment obscured the Western horizon were beginning to scatter, we are awoke from the agreeaLle delusion by anotifer manifesto from Mr. Attdrney General Cushing. The sight of the small- est portion of blue sky seems enough to excite the izextinguishable love of strife that burns in tho breast of this distinguished legal authority. Do the oyle of England ‘begin to believe that they have Boar too hasty in elevating a mere electioneering Bodgs to the dignity of, @ national demonstration ; do the people of America begin to think that the; are ing matters a ittle too hard against frien and relatives who have showa the most siacere aad unmistakable desire to NAC no reasonable ground for offence? The soul of Caleb Cushing is troubled, and he rushes between the half-reconciled disputants to point out that his side have been much worse used than they seem to think, and that there is nothing lelt tor Brother Jonathan but to exact from Brother John that most unsatiafactory satisfaction which used to be considered the peculiar mark of a geatle- man. The first thing that strikes us in reading the last circular of Mr. Attorney General Cushing, which will be found in our American intelligence, is the utter uselessness for any good purpose of Putting forth any such document at all. {n this country it isia the Queen, in the United States it isin the Presi- dent, that the constitution vests the power of calling attention by proclamation to such tions of the law as are in danger of being violated or overlooked. In neither country is such a er vested in the Attorney General. His expositions of the law are of no authority either with judges or juries. If it be intended to put any more persons on their trial for siege enlistment of American citizens, such semi-official declarations only tend to prejudice and embarrass the case. The judges of the land are competent to declare the law, and will doubtless do 80 as they understand it, without reference to the opinions or circulars ot the Attorney General. If, on the other hand, theiutontion of this circular be to prevent any future violation of the neutrality of the United ‘State }, it then weirs the air of an inten- tional insult to Great Britain, inasmuch as it pre- supposes that she will do that which she has moat formally and deliberately announced her in- tention to the United States of not agai. attempt- ing. No one will dixpute the position taken up in this cireular—that the United States have the right and the power to prohibit foreigu eutistment within their territory by an act of Congress, though many may doubt whether, without s:eh act of Congress, the enlistment of troops within the territory by a lee would be a hostile attack on national s0- vere’ gnty nor are we prepared to admit, as asserted by Mr. Cushing, n defiance of Vattel, that to allow one belligerent party and not the other to enlist troops in a neutral State would be a dagrant breach of neutrality. But surely both poets and the United States have a right to complain when the Attorney General of the United States takes upon himself, rot merely to lay down the law, bat, of his own authority, to find facts, and those facts which have no bearing upon his duty as Lega prosecu- tor, but are matters of discussion solely between the two nations. What right has Mr. Cusning, in his official capacity, to assert that Great Britain, in attempting by the agency of her civil and military authorities in the British Nortn Ame- rican provinces, and her diplomatic and consu- lar functionaries in the United States, to raise troops in the United States, haa committed an act of usurpation against the sovercign rights of the United States? We do not object to this assertion because it is manifestly wntrue, inasmuch a3 Great Britain never attempted to raise troops inthe United States, but only established recru‘ting depots on her own territory; but because, be it true or false, it is a matter entirely out of the Attorney General's cog- nizance, in dogmatising on which, Mr. Cnshing, to use his own expression, “commits an act of usurpa- tion” agaist igite of the Foreign Minister of the Union ually uncalled for, and equally ob- jectionable, is the statement that the indictment and conviction of any such consul, or his escape, by ar- ranged instructions or coxutrivances to evade the eration of such stitute, is subordinate to the con- eration of the national insult involved in the tact of a foreign government ingtructing its officers to abuse for unlawful purposes the privileges they hap- pen to enjoy in the United States. Mr. Cushing can only imagine that the consols of England must either be convicted or escape by ua- worthy contrivances. Why not suppose—at feast, for the sake of apparent candor and impartiality— that they may be able to establish their innocence? Such a presvmption is not nnwarranted by the or- dinary ri les of evidence, and would not, we think, have been unwor' of the high legal siwatioa which Mr. Cushing fills. It is the duty of the Attor- ney Gexeral to prosecute to conviction those who have offended against the laws of the republic; but how is it Lis duty to remind the people that after these trials have taken place they still have a ground of quariel aguinst the country whose agents have offended? Such remarks introduced into a professed @xposition of the law, which ought, above all things, to be calm and di jionate, convey but an indit. ferent compliment to the community to which the: are addrested, and do but small credit to the officiat who thus goes out of his way in order to take upon himself the odious office of “stirring up strife and diseension. We cannot believe that such arts will have any permanent effect on a great and intelli cemmurity like that happil y established on the side of she Atlantic. Until much better evidence is afforded to ns than we at present sess, we shall persist in believing that such an abave of high oil- cial position can have no other effect than to bring discredit upon him who resorts to it, and to place men of all parties on their guard against persons coutent to achieve the smallest political object at the expense of a national conflagration.

Tn a few days we shall seud out a new Governor- General to India, and, as usual, a man of the :nost eaceful intentions. No one ever doubted that Hir- inge and Dalhousie were sincere, even to simplici- ty, in the pacific protestations with which theystart- forthe East,and noone now doubts that Lord Canning would rather leave the Crimea behind him than find another in the heart of our Indian empire. These protestations are evidently meant to tell not only on the British public, but on the Hindoo, and, if possible, 06 desti ny itself But destiny hay not hitherto been controlled by words of good omen, and there is no reason to believe that the new Gover- nor-General cf India can shape his own career more Pe & than hie predecessors.

Those usual conditions have hitherto been disregarded to an extent which is probably lit- tle known, we will not say to foreigners, but even to the ma, lority of our own people. For the guke not only, then, of jealous rivals and unfriendly cri- tics, but of our own less-informed readers at home, it mest be explained that, while England may be said to “‘poasess” and directly t» govern tue greater part of seaboard of Hindostan, a great rt of India consists of States ‘under British pro- ection.” Jt is as if England held the coast of Iro- land and a few of the more populoas or mercantile countics on the banks of the papalpal rivera, while the descendants of the ancient kiugs of Ireland still reigned by misrule, commanded, or were comm: ed by, disorderly armies, pentane the most hi ous moral scandals, and kept the whole islaud oa the brink of a general commotion.

The Copenhagen Federland publishes the fol- lowing letter from a correspondent in Stockholm dated November 2. It appears that the mission o Gen. Canrobert was likely to cause considerable em- burrawment to the court of Sweden:— ‘The apparent repose not to kay slumber, of all matters of poliier! inverest which how prevailed in tie capital during the last few months beg ain to give way to a vader or the rebel in the field. A dominion of this sort, in which so many squares of the chessoard were British possessions, so many under British pro- tection, and #0 many others nominally independent, never yet preserved long its checkered character, and the influences tending to political unity are cer- tainly not fewer or less powerful in India than else- where. A community of religions, of commerce, and of arms, pervades, and continually assimilates all India. The sacred shrines of either faith are visited by pilgrims from all parts; the population follows trade wherever it goes, and our armies are recruited indiflerently from all the three classes of States we have enumerated. When this is the case it is quite impossible that any disorder should tinue to be local. There are no “ party walls" be- tween the States, and a conilagration, once lit, is surg to spread from one to another. Hence there must be a unity either of order or of disorder. The two States that press most for tis decision are the kingdom of Onde and the territory of the Nizem. The former of theve lies in the great gang- way of India from Bengal to the porthwestern pro- tinces, in the very track of our armies and our trede; the latter commands all the internal comma- nications of southern India. With the character of the Court of Oude most of our readers are familiar, and the knowiedge will have prepared them for the circumstance that it is found wholly incapable of seouring the territory from the outbreaks of the most barbarous fanaticism. Mahomedin and Hin- doo zealote, the former with the connivanse of the averniog powers, and the latter with the favor of the population, are threatening a collision which might easily and natarally spread throngh the pe ple and divide our own armies throughoat the whole of India. On some question of the shrine of a ver- tain god, and some alleged profanations and mur- ders,a Mahomedan fanatic is marching undisturbed from Cae to city, with a force quite sufficient to be the nucleus of the largest ay that ever overr. the peninsula.

The aspect of the danger is all the more serivas from the presence of other disorders in our own States. The Santals, and other tribes occupying the hills that run from Bengal to the western coast, have not been reduced to order, nor is there any present likelihood of tranquillity. By their atroci- ties they have succeeded in striking a terror into our native aimy, while our European troops are bat a handful to keep the peace of the immense district threatened by the coy cos Such a danger, it is evident, must be met by a concentration of the troops on which alone we can depend; but that concentration will be impoasible, if we are to allow the internal disorders of Unde to come to such a 28 as to inflame the religious animosities of all india, and set the Sepoys of every regiment in our rervice the one against the other. T> pernit this would Le something worse than a suicidal delicacy ; it would be the test cruelty to India, the para- mount rule of which we heve undertaken, with all ite reeponsibilities. It is our plain daty to do what we alone can do—to stay the conflagration wile it may yet be , by placing the Territory of Oude at once in the first class of our Indian depentencira, under the rule of our own governors and the pro tection of our own armies. That we have #0 long delayed to do #0, in xpite of the ever increas ing necemity, and have allowed a great State on the Ganges to be independent while we have cartied our arms up the irrawaddy and wasted oar blood and treasure in « Pee sraggle witha fierce race, argues more forbearance than wisdom Indeed, it savors of that romantic sort of enterprise which neglects what lies in ite way to embark in the distant and unkuown. Shut the nece«ity long fore seen has now actually arrived, and the only 4 vestl n is, whether we shall pt down a disorder in all bodia ‘not with our Indian army, but in its very ranks, or confine the evil to the piace which gives it birth This cau only be done by the annexition of Oude, a measure which it is said Lord Dalhousie has, after » decided to be inevitable. and find it already doue, Lord Can- ning will find his first work on his arrival.
