The British and French Cabinets are labouring to withdraw Austria from Russia, in the purpose of driving the Turkish government from Europe ; how far they will succeed, it is not easy to foresee, for, should Austria be biassed by their menaces on Italy, he will then have to fear the terrible power of Russia, who has warmly at heart the accomplishment of his wishes.
Russia might be in complete possession of Constantinople, before England could ever indirectly assail him. for it is now too late to enter either the Baltic, or the Black Sea.
The Russians have now an army of 500,000 men on the borders of Wallachia, and most certainly from the narrowness of her finances, Alexander would not have lavished this amazing expense, were he not determined to execute his projects.
He has negotiated, till they cannot assail him, and I have little or no doubt, but he will shortly commence hostilities : besides, the war is popular in Russia, and when he holds Constantinople, he may make his own terms with the preposterous holy alliance.
