How near the tr.th was he: On anrothrr occasion he said to O'Mleara, inl the course of a few years Musia will have Constantinople, the greatest pa. t of'Turkey, and all Ureece. This I huld to be as certain as if it had already taken place. Alhost all the cajoling aimd ilattcrirnr which Alexan der practiced towards me vas to gain my assent to cfhi'et this olect. I would hit, consent, foiresecing that, the eqruili brium ot Europe would be destroved. la the natural course of things, in a few years Turkey must fall to Russia. The greateet part of her population are Greeks, who, you may say, are Rus sians. The powers it would injure, and who could oppose it, are England, irance, Prussia and Austria. Now, as to Austria, it will be very easy for l'us sia to engage her assistance by giving her .'ervia and other provinces border. iug on the Austrian dominions, reach in near to Constantinople. The only hyputhesis that Englaind and Erance with ever be allied with a neerity, will be it, orx to prevent this. But, even this alliance Would not avail. France, England and Prussia united cannot prevent it. Itxisia and Austria can at any tie ell'eet it.
