Tub game which Rusi is playing is at once so 
audacious and so transport, that unless we are bound 
over, bv the nature of oiiounmU to keep the peace, 
and use no angry word.it would be easy and far 
from unpleasant to wax dhmatory, and set our minds 
at ease by a little Anglo-am undefiled. But as this 
is not our province, we >e only to record the des- 
patches that have been rt'ved by the Russian Am- 
bassador here, Baron BrW, during the week, and 
that his Imperial masteiistead of desiring liim to 
demand his passports, tejhim to ask an innocent 
question. It seems that Niqlas cannot, for the life of 
him, make out what all tin big 1 ships have come into 
his sea for, and, not out oflriosity (for he really asks 
for information!, he hopeshat England and France 
will be so very kind as m;o tell him— what does it 
all mean ? For himself, khas no idea of declaring 
war — he shrinks front sue'a responsibility (an Em- 
peror of Russia ownhg t« responsibility!) but he 
must entreat Lord (larendi to let him know about 
the ships. Meantme Nijolas is pressing on his 
armies, and of coure his gegals are instructed at all 
hazards to strike nieavy bl« at Turkey before he gets 
irreparably embrofid with hi formidable friends. Both 
Russians and Tu>'s are strivig to secure the whole line 
of the Danube the rehive positions of the belli- 
gerents are well /Q ted as follows : — ■“ The Russians have 
the advantage/ operating \ an interior circle, and, 
consequently,/ moving mo? easily and rapidly than 
their antagonfe- The Ottoran troops, on the other 
hand, have /gWMr fortresseL into which they can 
retire if the*n’e forced fron their original position. 
Widdin, Sob Rutschuk, SilisVia, and Varna, as well 
as the grea/rtified camp of lchumla, must be taken 
or masked/fore an invader ton, with any decree of 
prudence, /vance far on the toad to Constantinople. 
The facilip which the Turks low enjoy for sending 
reinforceihts by sea, while the enemy is confined to 
operation^ land, will also add greatly to the strength 
or their fence.” The last affair, which is henceforth 
to be kp’n as that of Csitate (so many new names 
come u |/ war-time that it takes time to settle ortho- 
graphy^ been described with minuteness by corre- 
sponded on the spot, and all agree that it reflects the 
utmostfcdit upon the Turks, who fought on open 
groumhnd without advantages, and succeeded in 
aefeatil the Russians with terrible slaughter. There 
were ipniirmed reports that the Russians had taken 
KharslAdviees from Constantinople, up to the 16th, 
state d the combined fleets had made sail in the 
direct j of Varna, and that the Russians were cruising 
near 1 straits which lead from the Sea of Azof into 
the Bk Sea — so that the armaments are keeping at 
a mojespectful distance. This is at present the last 
newspVe are not inclined to think that Lord Claren- 
don :1 give Baron Brunow any other reply to the 
Emprs innocent inquiry, than that the intentions of 
the jvers have been already stated, and that the 
Enipr may determine for himself whether they 
meaiostility or not. There is still the Vienna note 
to bjonsidered by Russia, and this, it is supposed, 
will evasively treated, like everything else, by the 
dipldcy of St. Petersburg. 
Iifiree days Parliament will he ag-ain at work. 
Theleen will open the House in person, and unusual 
intel will attach to the ceremonial, in consequence 
oftieculiar crisis which Her Majesty will have to 
destfi. We believe that all the Oriental negocia- 
tionfe ready to be presented, and will be at once laid 
upohe tables of the Houses. It is stated, also, that 
the (form measure will be divided into two portions ; 
onejected against bribery and corruption ; the other 
relit to the franchise. The two young members 
wli ill appear in uniforms, and move the address, 
lui\ een named, and it is understood that no amend- 
me will be put forward. A Reform meeting 
hai en held at Manchester, where Messrs. Cobden, 
Br and others have spoken; and the two gentle- 
men have named deem it necessary to show their 
coi ency — some persons give it another title — by 
ad ng to the arguments they adduced towards the 
‘do f the last Session, against our taking any part in 
th< isso-Turlcish struggle. Russia, they insist upon 
it, ja better customer than Turkey ; and they also 
co&d that Russia has done no more in the Princi- 
pals than England has done in India, and France in 
A a. Curiously, too, the praises of Manchester 
dttid upon Lord Aberdeen, who, they declare, 
aprs to have done as much as he could to sustain 
thfinciples for which they contend. 
pm the United States we leiun that Senator Cass 
(til-reverent rhyme made upon him by one of his 
edr ymen may be in the recollection of some of our 
n[rs) has delivered a tremendous speech in the 
Ste, on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,— tremendous, 
wiean, as to length, for it fills fifteen columns of 
si type. He is pleased to ratify the treaty because 
hilieves it will deprive England of her power and 
influence in Central America. But, as Bombastes 
says : — 
“ Thus have I seen, on Afrlc's burning shore. 
Another lion give a lowj/r roar, 
And the first Hon thought the lost a — bore." 
For Senator Clayton was answering - Senator Cass, in a 
speech which had occupied one whole day, and was not 
finished when the steam-ship Alps left. It would be pre- 
mature to adjudge the victory. Several of the leading 
merchants of New York have had goods which they 
had smuggled to the amount of 150,000 dollars seized 
by the Custom House. A strong Anti-Catholic sensation 
is arousing in the Union, and in one place the Pope’s 
Nuncio has been burned in effigy. 
Continental news is scanty. The Danish people are 
represented as eager that England should at once take 
part in the impending war, and save them from Russia. 
“ Let England come first,’’ is the cry. The Swiss are 
proposing to found a new Federal University, but the 
Catholic and Protestant elements are coining into 
collision, and may destroy an excellent scheme. A 
subscription is being raised for erecting a monument to 
the trallant Arnold Von Winklereid, who won the battle 
of Morgavten for his countrymen. They could do 
nothing against the serried phalanx of Austrian nobles, 
when Winklereid, exclaiming that he had a dearly-loved 
wife and son, and that he left both to the care of his 
country, flung himself headlong upon the Austrian 
spears — a dozen met in his body — but he broke the 
ranks, and the Swiss, charging over bis corpse, made 
a terrible slaughter. It is fitting that such a man 
should be remembered.
