T 7 EAJRS for the result must by this' titae » have J ? 'finally , lodged themselves in the capital of Cassia . It is , indeed , far too soon for us to boast that the victory is ours : man cannot reckon upon his ovfn achievements . But , without arrogating to ourselves any exploits , other than those which may be claimed by clear resolve and open resolution , it is clear that the combination of events
is already beginning to tell upon the power . ^ of Russia . Unless the 'whole enterprise is a delusion , Ufa ! i ^ % ' Reckon tlie driving back of ^ Russiajby the clpck ^ and say that every time the sun igoes down the enemy of Europe ' is nearer to his -seh ^ ejice . Although the reported taking of a fort in Han go Sound is not confirmed , the advance in that quarter is steady . The Russians are shut up in port . It will be seen from the letter of a naval
correspondent of owf own , in another column , that the direct attack of Cronstadt can scarcely yet be in contemplation , but the position established by Sir Charles Napier can scarcely fail , should it be supported , to Lave important political consequences . The Swedish people were alreudy inclined to join with the West , as our correspondent shows ; and the Aftoriblad , the leading journal of Stockholm , has recently come round to a national point of view , and is supposed to indicate that the Court has done the same .
At the other end of the semi-circle of tlie Western operations the vicissitudes are more numerous ; but the balance is largely in our favour . The report that the Tiger had been stranded , and had been compelled to surrender , is now confirmed ; but it is followed by the report that the bombardment of Odessa was to be renewed , to compel the return of the prisoners . After reconnoitering Sebastopol , to wliich the Russian fleet kept itself closely confined , a squadron has been sent , under Sir Edmund Lyons , to take possession of the Russian forts on the
Circassian coast , and to open communication with Schamyl , the chief who has so long resisted the Czar single-handed ; while a Turkish fleet has carried reinforcements to the Ottoman army in Asia . That army had retained its allegiance under circumstances of interrupted pay , failing provisions , and 'broken communication , sufficient to Lave excused any amount of despair , even to the abandonment of the Sultan ' s flag . The latest accounts from that army represent it as deriving
animation from the , r ^ orts ; Western Powers had declared war against , Russia ; and these reinforcements will no- doubt renew its courage and make it once moie an active power in the field . The position of Russia on the Danube , not materially altered , appears by the latest accounts to be anything but hopeful . It cannot be said to be entirely without motion , since there is constantly
going forward an active mlirch from tte ground occupied in the Dobrudscha to the hospitals in the rear , and it is now reckoned that the Czar can muster for his support and glory - an , Army of 26 ^ 000 strong of well - qualified hospital patients , haunted by all the demons Qf typhus , dysentery , callenture , and hospital gangrene . JTow , however , Prince Paakiewitch threatens Silistria , atfd » hew contest is expected ; the allied forces are advancing to take their part . .
By degrees further light is thrown upon the position of the Qerman Powers , which is daily assuming more importance . We have now the text of the treaty between Prussia and Austria , to which the other German Powers have given their adhesion . In order to appreciate the force of this document , let us remember that Prussia suggested it , but that Austria , not then perfectly broken with St . Petersburg , hesitated . When Austria , more distinctly understanding her
position , its liabilities , and balance of chances , agreed to accept the treaty , it was Prussia ' s turn to hesitate , and Prussia insisted upon the insertion of an additional article . Now what does the treaty stipulate ? The body of it stipulates that in the event of a war , which the two Powers agree in regretting , they shall be bound jointly to defend each other ' s territory , German or non-German ; in other words , attack from any
other power upon any province of Austria or Prussia would , under tin ' s treaty , be resisted by both of them . The additional article reports that propositions have come from St . Petersburg which give ground for now hopes of a pacific accomrno - dation ; the formal document thus confirming a previous report to that effect . It likewise confirms a statement that thcEmpei'or Nicholas had admitted the reasons of his original occupation of the Principalities to have "been removed by the concession made to the Turkish CbrisLians . The
treaty , therefore , establishes these facts—that Russia was making proposals through Berlin during the negotiations for the treaty ; that Russia admitted the pretext for her invasion of Turkey

couple the other ; that throughout , probably-dpjw ^ t to the last moment , Prussia has rehiftined in communication with , the invader of T ^ rKey ^ th ^ e enemy of the Western Powere , and the ttreatenqr of Austria . . , . ' - ' , < 3 « bseqiient to the conclusion of . thia treaty ,- i , t is said , the other G-erman Powers haye adopted i | . This fact is important , as snowing hpw > strong l ^ r the balance of German conviction is in favour of the policy and , necessity recognised by Austria , and against the double-dealing of Prussia . It is possible , '—indeed , and we strongly suspect such
to be the fact , —that some of the German ^ Gojiusl f S may enter into the alliance with th € ^ 4 e ^ b ^| r $ Je intention of playing traitor along with ^ j ^ ri ijsj ^; and Saxony , we count at the head ; of that doubtful party , Bavaria not in its . rea ^ . Still there is reason to believe that the German , peoples rfgree with the counsel of Austria in joining to defend their territories against attack—tne attack being threatehed only by Russia . It is possible tlat rumours of risings in Italy and in Hungary may have accelerated this union .: we trust that no patriot party will consent so far
to play the game of Russia . They bring us reports , indeed , from the territories beyond North-Western India , that Dost Mahommed , Khiva , and Persia , -am < ull Jytaitfuing to play into the lands of ^ ft ^^ J ^ FX ^^ gt ^ V ^ reports are the pretences of ^^^^ y ^^ WmUMl Czar to believe them succ&' ^ uffiwJKlS ^ tilMHr ) SC really failing .
