mars well !) Republican branch of the An » lo-Saxon stock melted in one might ? nationality of freedom with the Celtic and with the German race , never forgetting the oppression of their ancient homes , I tell you , are brought to the same place of immediate conflict of interests with Rug ^ a by the extension of your territory to the Pacifio Ocean whera you are now drawn by a thousand natural ties of activity toward Asia . Thus you see that Russia must try to dom ' ii nate Asia , if she is willing not only to be the master of the ^ orM , b » t if she only desires to Ike . To dominate Asia she innst become the master of Europe—partly bv conaneit ' partly by preponderance-aud to ensure the autocracy over Asia as well as over Europe , the United States mu " t li * ^ ML ^^^^ ^^^ PI ^^ of power ; and it the law of nature that *« i « i «> t- wAII 1 ) TfrnnnMiMTi liratiftli nf flia An .

being a people must ether pr ^ e or decline to check the process of American power S n « mast be crushed . Thus you are brouaht bv the de " e-Sr- n ° iJ ° Y fT Ki 5 tence illt 0 t »> e ^ mpass of Russian hatred and lluasiau ambition . Either you or Ru , s . * must fell You beco « for the world whut Germany Hun ^ T" WUJ 0 Ut tbe freedom * "d independence 5 iiungary , fcurope can nsver become free : but without the freedom and independence of Germany . it cannot remain iree . bo , without ruining your power , Russia could not remain the master of Asia and Europe , should she even succeed to establish her sway . Germany is tbe heart of ^ urope . You , by having extended your dominion to the Pacific , become tic heart of the v ? orl < L Great powers nrast have broad views in their policr . You cannot more
encompass your activity and your policy within the narrow circle of domestic life . This situation must be comprehended , or eise notwithstanding your' prodigious growth jour very existence will but prove a short dream , a passing episode ia the history of nations . Let ths be remembered by your politicians who like to press your "igantic liraba into the dres 3 which you wore in your Infant age , and let this ba remembered by tbe public opinion of the people which always is in advance to feel the exigencies of time ' Bat to pursue my deduction . The double direction of Rug , sian ambition , which I have explained , imposed upon her
the necessity 01 desire to conquer Constantinople . Without the conquest of Constantinople she can never carry the idea of Panslavism , because it is in European Turkey that is dwelling the stosk of ths Sclavonic race , from Bulgaria over Serbia and Bosnia down to Montenegro , and across through Itoumelia . Without the conquest of Constant ! - nople " Ka ? s : a csnnot cantrol the Mediterranean Sea ; withoat that she cannot become a maritime power , and without becoming a maritime power she cannot rule the woil i The position of Caastaminople is such that she is the key to the dominion of Europo as well as of Asia for Russi i Xapoleon already has said it , and he was , to he snre a mighty genius . It is , therefore , that the conquest of Constantinople is the hereditary leading idea of Russian policy . It would be not without ink-rest to sketsh the history of Russi b
a , step y step advancing toward that aim by war and by emissaries , by diplomatic corruption , and by corrupted diplomacy , from tho time of Mehemet Baltadpi , of carsed memory , through ail subsequent wars—at the treaties of Kutskuk . Kijnadje , Balta , Lilian , Jassev , Bnkarest , Ackenmar , Adrianople , Unkian , Iskelessy , down to the treaty as to the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus , and to the treaty of commerce , which made two-thirds of Coratantinople itself , in their daily bread , dependent upon Russlau wheat , to the amount of thirty-five millions of piastres a year , while Turkish wheat is selling in the stores of A 3 ia Minor . By each of these treaties Russia advanced its frontiers and pressed more closely Constantinople within its iron grasp , with such persevering consistency persning her aim that even in other political transactions
, apparently unconnected with Turkey , it was constantly this aim which she viewed . As for instance at the peace of Tilsit , ¦ w hen she surrendered continental Europe to the momentary dominion of Xapoleon , provided Turkey was consigned to her . And still she did not succeed , and so still Stamboul statds a barrier to her dominion over the world . And why did she not succeed ? Because the European powers , conscious of the fact that the conquest of Constantinople is so much as their own submission to Russia , have in the last instance always prevented it , in uniting to treat the question of the Orient as a question of life and death for their own independence . And—mark well , gentlemen—in consequence of the geographical situation of her dominions , and being also sovereign of Hungary , it was chiefly the House of Austria which was considered to be and cherished as the
great bulwark against Russia , charged especially with a jealous guardianship of Turkish rights . And , indeed , had the house of Austria , comprehending the conditions of her existence , attached Hungary to herself by respecting her independence and her constitutional rights , and devefoped the power of her hereditary dominions by placing herself npon a constitutional basis , she could have maintained her respectable position of guardianship for centuries . Russia ¦ was aware of that fact . "When Catherine vis ted the newly conquered Crimea , Poteakin raised to her honour a triumphal arch , with tbe moito , " Hereby is the road to Constantinople . " Czar Sicholas has since learned that it 13 by Vienna rather . Russia , therefore , decided to get rid o this obstacle , and to convert it out of an obstacle into a tooL A direct conquest would have been dangerous ,
because it would have met the opposition of all Europe Russia therefore tried it first by monetaty influence , and had pretty well advanced in it . Metternich himself was a pensioner to Russia . But the watchful independent spirit of constitutional Hungary still hindered the practical r ? o < o ° th } 3 J bnbeTy ; an (? seeiu S' by our teform 1 ™ 3 of lbiS , an independent national government established , a d . !*» constitutional spirit strengthened by Bub ' Btitutiiig Democracy for Aristocracy , she determined to destroy . be power of the house of Austria by destroying Hungary . Austmbad the destination to be a bulwark protectine Constantinople from Russia ; now it becomes the hi « h road to Constantinople and an auxiliary army to flmk it for Russia . —Angina never more can bo restored ; she ia not only doomed—she ia dead . Xo skill , no consideration , can
revive her . Having previously broken every tie of popular affection and of allegiance , she cannot vegetate but by Russian aid , turning in return in obedience around her . Let the reliance upon that aid relax , and there is no power on earth which could prevent the nations groaning under her oppressing and degrading tyranny , to shatter to pieces the rotten building of her criminal existence ; and , as to my nation , I declare solemnly that should we be left forsaken and alone to fight once more the battle of deliverance for the world , and should we in consequence of it succeed in that honourable strife , we will rather choose to be Russians than su ' - jeci to the house of Austria ; rather submit to open manly force of the Czar than to the heart-revolting perjury of tie Hap 3 burgh ; rather be ruled directly by the master than submit to theshatce to be ruled by his underlings
. -ine tetters of force may be broken once , but tbe affection of a morally t-fiended people to a peijurous dynasty can never be restored . Russia we bate with inconceivable hatred , but the house of Hapsbursh we hate and despise . " After predicting that war must inevitably ensue between Turkey and Russia , in which , if the Turks were beaten , the balance of power would be overthrown , and the Russian autocrat become the master of the world , he concluded as follows : — "The only question is , will the United States remain ifcdifferent at tbe overthrow of the balance of power on earth ? ^ o , they will not , they cannot remain indifferent . Tneir being reared oa the coast of the Pacific , and that being brought to an immediate conflict with Russian
auto-rat c tendencies in Asia , answers No . ' Their Re . publican principles beingabout to be brought into a chahing conflict with Russian Absolutism , ' . ansWera ' No . * Tbe voice cf the people clustering in thundering manifestations around my own humble self , " answers ' No . ' Tou yourself , Sir , in the name of the people of Syracuse , which is but one tune in the mighty harmony of ail the people ' s voice , have told me So .

INDIA Ai \ D CHINA . THE OVERLAND MAIL . THE BURMESE WAR . -Burmese reward for the Jteads of Vie British—Rumoured i ? etwlution at Ava—Burmese attempt to recapture Martaban—The cholera cutting of the British . Onr town edition ol last Saturday contained an express trom JIarailles , per electric telegraph , bringing later intelligence from the seat of war . We now subjoin particulars obtained from the Indian papers . We hive intelligence from Bombay to the 12 th nit .
Accounts from Rangoon state that no further collision with toe enemy iiad taken place . Cho ' erawas abatiug ; the place was getting into some orde and cleanliness ; Burmese labourers were flocking in m search of employment , and glad to work at two annas ( 3 J . ) per day ; several cargo-boats were in the river , and every d * y furnished new Bymptoms of a restoration of tranquillity and resuscitation cf trade . On the other hand , the rations for European troop 3 were dear , scarce , and of bad quality , principally consisting of i ! l-cured pork , no beef being as yet obtainable . Temporary wooden barracks were expected from Moulmein , hut , meanwhile , the troops were without proper shelter , though the monsoon was daily eiDected .
Nothing ! 3 known regarding the number or position of the Burmese troops in the neighbourhood of Rangoon . Some accounts state the force of the enemy at 25 , 000 nien ; otters say that the troops that were assembled for j t fenco of Kan P ° ' disbanded them 3 elve 3 on its fall , and that the ex-Governor had only 100 or 200 men remaining with him . Tho influx of Burmese labourers to Rtngoan appears to favour the latter supposition ; if the Burmese were in force in the vicinity they would drive off the inhabitonts , as they did last war .

It is also asserted that the King is dead , and has heen-suceeeded on the throne by the Primo Minister . On the nisht of the Uth u't . the Burmese made a spirited attempt to " recapture Martaban . They got witliin our pickets , but retired after about four hours' firing . Our loss was two artillerymen slightly wounded .

The cholera amongst the troops is universally attributed to the unnecessary fatisuc they underwent , and General Godwin is severely Warned for landing them so long before the guns . b
INDIA . A correspondent of tho " Calcutta Englishman " supnlies the following paragraph in reference to tbe state of the ^¦ zun ' s dominions : — " The contingent is csla ' oWshsd in eight cantonments , in positions to facilitate the protection of the whole country . Datachmer . ts from seven of these ca ntonments , in some instances with guns , are now out against marauders , who are laving waste not only villages , but . whole provinces . "
CHINA . . General Garibaldi had arrrived at Ilong Kong from Callao , in command of ihe Peruvian vessel Carmen . She has proceeded to Amoy , with her cargo of guano . The chief matter of local interest during the month is the trial of twelve men of the late ship Herald , for the murder of Captain Lawson and others on board , in the stHuta of Acjeer . Ten of them were found guilty , and condemned to death . The insurrection continued to spread , and it was daily strengthened by desertions from the Imperialist arrar . In consequence of these desertions applications for aid had been made by the government to the ministers of England and America .
CEYLON . The "Colombo Observer" of May 10 says : — " One of our criminal courts has been tbe scene of an unusual occurrence , four soldiers of the 37 th Regiment charged with burglary having made an outrageous attack on the committing magistrate and * uo executive officers of the court . These desperadoes have met with due punishment . A few days ago Colombo was startled by tho discovery of a fearful murder and suicide , a Mahomedan having cut the throats of two women ( mother and daughter ) and then hung himself ,

LATEST A EWS FROM TEE AUSTRALIAN DIGGINGS . By the arrival of the merchant ship "V'imcra , Captain Xeatby , we have intelligence from tbe gold mines three weeks later than any yet published . Xew mines were being daily discovered . The yield at Sydney and Port Phillip was daily increasing , and thousands were flocking to the mines . A vigorous stream of emigration was setting in from California and the South Sea . Islands , and hundreds of American diggers might he seen walking in the streets of Sjdney working towards the gold regions . The new Settlement of Canterbury wa 3 deserted , 'Wellington and Auckland were ue ; ir'y in the same condition , and at Van Diemen's Land a similar result was expected . Flour was down to from £ 10 to £ 12 per ton retail , and several hundred tons from Chili had been sold by the cargo as low as £ 710 s .
Meat , tea , sugar , and other articles of domestic consumption were abundant and cheap . Tho agricultural interests bad not suffered—the pastoral interests , especially in the Sydncj district—but at Port Phillip labour was getting extremely scarce , and it was feared that shepherds' wages in Port " Phillip would run up to an unprecedentl y high rate . The " Sydney Morning Herald" has a cheering account of the state of the colony . Xo workman need starve at home while comfort and independence await him in Australia . • .
The admirable order which has all along be maintained at our aiiKJniis , not by military restraint , hut y the good sense and moral rectitude of the great mass of the diggers themselves is indeed a ja « t cause of pride to the colonists and ought to encourage thousands of out fellow subjects at home to come over and teAp us . We need their help . Our flocks and herds are increasing , while the labour market is eshaustcd . Wages have consequent )? advanced at rates averaging on the whole somewhat ubout thirty per cent . We have ample employment for many thousands of emigrants , provided they he men who really give a good day ' s work for a good aay ' s wages . We do not want idlers : neither do we want any more ofthatswarmiuR class ot young gentlemen who can do nothing but sit on a stool and handle a quill ; of these we have always more than enough . But persons accustomed to hard work , whether mechanical or rural ; and persons liavin ; monev to
invest , whether of large amount or small , vrill find in Sew South Wales a fiw-r opening than any other part of the world ptesentR , or than was ever before presented . Let them remember that for mildness and salubritv our climate cannot be surpassed ; that our soil is capable of producing all that man requires for sustenance sid most of the luxvries which he prizes j and at the time our gold fields were discovered the population of less than 200 000 souls possessed above 100 , 000 horses , 1 , 500 , 000 horned cattle , and more than 8 , 0 ( 10 , 001 ) sheep , yielded an annual iucomc of £ G 00 000 and esnj . tted of her own prodn . ee ov manufacture to the extent of £ 1 , 090 , 000 per annum , independently of her gold . Conplin ? these facts with the great fact , tint in ten months we have shipped a Jnulions worth of pur new found product , the fruit of peaceful in-F ^ ii' ^^ f ™ Al t 0 / st l ? hter future ' our Mend ! ^ whKlTw ^ * that our shores have wrong attractions for all wuo tlank » t better to emigrate than stuy at home .
VICTORIA . The following letter ia from a Sydney paper : — T , . . . Melbourne , March 2 . i returned yesterday evening from the forest Greek digeivws , alter a sojourn of some fourteen days , during which lime I have employed myself in collecting such information as may prove serviceable to your readers . Any description of the scene which bursts upon the ne * comer as he descends the ranges that border the creek would be next to supeiflaous , for so many writers have gone before in the portraiture of jour ewn numerous diggings t ^ at it would be but repetition were I to delineate those of 'Mount Alexander . The same numerous tents , the same blazing watchfires , the same barking of dogs and firing ef gunB , the same busy hum of man invading the territory hitherto given up to the beast or the sa « age ; all these are the
same as with jou ; if I perhaps except that with , us there is much more of each and every of them than there is in your colony . The Forest Creek diggings extend for a distance of some ten or twelve miles down the creek of that name , which is atributoryofthe Loddon , the whole of tbe short riJ ? es and gnlHes runniug d-wn into it having proved highly auriferous , while many of the back ranges and gullies have also produced good samples of gold . In the localities where digging was first commenced there are still very many cf the holes that are being profitably worked . From these the diggers have gradually extended themselves , till there U hardly a range or . a watercou < se that has not been delved into in the set rch for the glittering dross . ' This is more tbe case at present than at any othir time , as the scarcity of water wil ! not allow o any earth being washed but such as wUl produce a ' vervlar ee amount of goW . Water is attainable , but not in the water holps nf the creek , every one of which h now chnkid up l . y thefcdlintB . f the cradles ; butby risking on the flatsof the creek very go * 13 ? er is procured at a depth of about twenty fe . t .
