PARIS, April 18.

It was while the south of Europe was exclusively attached to the war against France, that the Courts of Vienna, of Petersburgh, and London, concluded that famous treaty of Alliance, of which the invasion of Poland was the prelude. This event, so important in itself, has not turned the attention of a single Power of Europe from the war they carry on against France.

It has been demanded what part Great-Britain has to take in the invasion of the Ottoman empire by Russia. The writers clearly see, that no tender regard for the Empress would lead that Power to engage in a business from which no particular good could result to herself; they therefore concluded that the part she takes is positive and real. This conclusion, however, has been called chimerical—but the chimera will become reality, if Europe do not recover from the delirium of its rage against the French Republic, and the Ottoman empire will fall a prey to the ambition of Russia.

Austria will obtain an aggrandizement of territory near the center of her hereditary states, and in the neighbourhood of Hungary or Tyrol—Turkish Croatia, Dalmatia, would approach her nearer the Adriatic Sea, which she touches now only in the port of Trieste; and we know that any thing which conducts her nearer Italy, the eternal object of her ambition, pleases her infinitely.

It is highly worthy observation, that this ambitious house has never yet insisted strongly with Russia, that her share of Poland should be strictly defined. Perhaps this may be deferred by consent until the success of the invasion of the Ottoman empire be known—and we have read this year back—that by an eventual treaty of partition, the court of Petersburgh would have for its share, the Turkish provinces to the east, as far as the western coasts of the Adriatic. It is easy to see thus how the Republic of Venice would run a risk of being enveloped in the mighty design of the two Imperial Courts.

England, who probably cares little for retaining Corsica, and who notwithstanding keeps a fleet of 23 ships of the line in the Mediterranean, meditates, beyond a doubt, some important object in consequence of her new treaty with the Imperial Courts. With remarkable tenaciousness during a century, it must be observed, she has retained Gibraltar, which gives her the command of the Mediterranean. She has successively occupied Minorca and Corsica, to have in fact her hand always stretched out to the commerce of the Levant.

Now sole mistress of India and Bengal, she is more than ever induced to open the shortest course to her commerce with the Ganges and Indian by the Red Sea, and the Isthmus of Suez.

England has therefore calculated her advantages in being able to cover with her ships the seas of Constantinople and Greece, when the victorious Russians shall be received under the protection of her flag, no doubt some solid and imposing establishment, either in Candia, in Crete, or in the Morea.

Such an invasion would cause so immense an alteration in the political system, that one is amazed at the inaction of the powers of Europe, and their little care to prevent the destruction of the Ottoman empire not being as speedily effected as that of Poland. The present war must have annihilated all political foresight, that we permit an astonishing revolution to be accomplished without impediment, and of which all Europe is ready to become the theatre and the victim.
