DIPLOMATIC BUNGLING OF THE EASTERN WAR . Iu Count JJTesselrode ' s circular , issued on the 19 th of October , by way of Russian comment on the Turkish declaration of war , there is this passage : — ¦ " We will await the attack of the Turks , without taking the initiative of hostilities . It will then depend entirely on other Powers not to widen the limits of the war , if the Turks persist in waging it against us , and not to give to it any other character than that which we mean to leave to it . "
The meaning of this passage , in the place where it occurs , is plain enough . It is a hint to Great Britain and France that it will depend upon them whether the war now begun shall go on as a mere incidental dispute between Russia and Turkey , to be fought out by the two parties in a friendly way , on tne narrow arena of the Principalities , or whether it shall take a wider development , and become a question of the balance of power . The events of the last three weeks have
antiquated Count In esselrode s circular , and it is now in the waste-paper basket . The passage we have quoted from it , however , ought still to be conned over . There is a meaning in it beyond what Count Nesselrode intended . If what Russia desired with respect to the present war was , that it should be regarded as an incidental quarrel between her and Turkey , to be fought out on the
arena of the Principalities , without disturbing more general relations , the Governments of France and Great Britain have shown that they are disposed to " widen the war" beyond those limits . They have declared that they assign to the Principalities-question a figure so high as to make it a question of the balance of power . But , on the other hand , just as Count Nesselrode was an-vions that tho limits of tho Trar should not be
widened beyond certain limits , so there are certain other limits beyond which even the Governments of Britain and France would not like , on their parts , to see it widened . The development which tho Governments of France , Great Britain , and flomo other Western States would like to give to tho present war in the Fast is intermediate between that which Count Nesselrode says he desired to bco given to it , and that Avhich those most vitally interested , the peoples , desire to see given to it . Count Nesselrodc , if we may believe his word , desired to cork the war into a very small bottle ; the Governments of France and Great Britain denire to cork it into a somewhat
larger bottle ; there are others , liowever , who desire to see it corked into no bottle at all , but freely following the laws of fluid expatiation . While the present Government holds ofliee in Great Britain ( and , alas ! who are to take their places F ) it in positively certain , that all British policy with respect to tho war , so long as it lasts , Avill be directed to the object of seeing it ho conducted a « to produce the minimum of what , is cnllcel " democratic disturbance" ' throughout Kuropo . So with ( he Governments of France ,
PniHfiia , and Piedmont , toftav nothinirof Austria , J'niHfiia , and Piedmont , to say nothing of Austria , which holdH ii position quite peculiar in tho matter . To ^ ivo Homo kind ofrelmil' to lUiflnia , more or Ionh court couh n ; s tho case may be—thin will he the positive aim of theno Governments with regard to the Avar . The ueeoHHilicfi of tho situation require thin ; for were the Turku tho Pariahs of the' world , and their case never ho ( leHpicablo and unreasonable , it would be impoHHibJo lor thcHo Governments , for their own Hakes , to Avinh RuHflia to he tho winner . But if
tho adnuniHt ration of hoiiio kind of check to Russia , muni , of neeensity iigure as tl «\ positive aim of thene GovornmeritH with regard to tho war , this aim will he negatively conditioned , if we may Uflw the philosop her ^ phrase , by imotliwr
aimthat of conducting the war so as to keep down the democracies . , That this will be the case with each ' of the Governments individually ,, who can doubt P "We know what our Government is . Democracy in its dictionary is synonymous with Devil . It needs no conjuror , either , to know with what face Louis Napoleon and his Government would contemplate the prospect of a democratic rising . To Prussia , as all know , the mention of democracy conveys a prophetic twinge suggestive of a process vulgarly known as royal decapitation Lastly , how anti-democratic is the Government of Piedmont , all who know anything of that Government ' s relations with the rest of Italy are well aware .
So much for these Governments , one by one . The important thing , however , is—and we beg our readers to attend to it—that these Governments are not to be taken one by one in this matter ; but that there is good reason to believe that there is at this moment a distinct understanding , almost a diplomatic pact , between them binding them to aia each other in so managing this war , in their respective circles of influence , as to permit the minimum of democratic u prising in connexion with it . The Constitutionalists , the Balance-of-Power people , have subscribed for all the ' shares : of the war among themselves , so as to exclude disagreeable partners .
This might have been anticipated ; but there are direct proofs of it . Take Hungary , for example . If the diplomatists knew what they were about , if they had anything of that "large discourse" which seems to have been denied to all their kidney , Hungary ought by this time to have been in the field . Here was a ready-made magazine of power for the speedy solution of the war . A summons from Turkey— -such a summons as France and England might have permitted with a wink—would have done the business . Yet what do -we see P
While , in Asia , Circassians , and all the whatnots of the Caucasus , are helping the Turks to hack and hew the Russians ; while remote Affghans are nudging Persia that they may go together and help their co-religionists to beat the Sclave ; in Europe a huge Hungarian force of insurrection , separated but by a paper wall from the scene of the war , is lying idle and unemployed . Kossuth is still in London . How account for this P Clearly , the diplomatists want no help from that quarter ; they want to conduct the war on genteel principles , to make it slide in a narrow groove , and would rather not have the foul company of a
Hungarian democracy . Can it be true , as was reported , that the assisting Powers , through Lord Stratford do RedclifFe , exacted a promise from the Porte that they would conduct the war so as not to damage Austria , by creating Hungarian or Polish revolt in her dominions P . The promise , if made , cannot , in the nature of things , be kept , If the war lasts , Hungary , whether invited or not , mnst take the field ; Xossuth , whether a Sultan ' s letter comes to him or not , must go where the tones of his voice , heard over Hungarian churchyards , will call the very dead to arms . But why this delay , hut that diplomacy has paralyzed si natural movement P
In Italy the case is even more plain , the facts even more glaring . Italy m farther oil than Hungary from the scene of the Avar , but thero is an underground connexion between them ; ami the natural result of tho Wallachian Avar , it it lasts , in a sympathetic rising of Italian democracy . Diplomacy knows this , and what 13 it doing P Why , it is guarding against tho co » j ; " 1
coney . It in paralyzing Italy beforehand . J "' Piedmonteso Government is the iminediato agent ; France and Great Britain are conniving ; franco is also acting directly . For some months the Pirdmoiilcflc Government has been carrying on n nyfltomatio persecution against tho MazzinianH , or men of the national party , without any show oi reason connected with , its own Hecurifcy . ^/ v f and expatriations of men of this party , or ot XW ~ publican nentniients , have boon going on at an oujt
unexampled mte in Piedmont .

Saturday , November 19 . Yesterday morning came the news , brief and unexplained , that the Turks had recrossed . the Danube at Olteriitza . It was so expressed as to imply that the Turks had been forced back upon Bulgaria . Prince Gortschakoff ' s account of the affair , sent on to Vienna , says that his strategetie combinations around Qltenitza obliged the Turks to recross the river . The truth is supplied this morning . The Patrie of yesterday announced that the Turks , being retarded in their
advance on Bucharest by the inundation of the Danube , have decided on arresting their onward movement After having destroyed the quarantine building and the works at Oltenitza , they have rcpassed the Danube without being molested by the enemy . That is , the Turks have left the Russians in possession of the swamps of Wallacliia , taking themselves the high and healthy bank . All along , the operations of Omer Pasha depended upon fine weather ; now the wet weather has set in before he could drive out the Russians , he is forced to retire , not before them , but before the elements .
It must be remembered that the Turks are still masters of a great part of Lesser Wallachia . Strong Russian reinforcements are marching on Bucharest from Moldavia . From Constantinople we hear that the British vessels Vengeance and Albion , and the French vessels Jupiter and Henri IV ., and eight steam-frigates , are at Beikos , close to the entrance into the Black Sea . The Ottoman naval division , which is to cruise in those waters , consists of four frigates , two steamers , three corvettes , and two brigs . The vessel Mitjeddctie and two frigates have lately joined the squadron .
