The most and only important movements, howe^jjjr, we shall ngt fail to cliromole. . 1 At present* the star of Russia would seem to 1 promise rather unpropitiously. She has gotten r more in this fracas than she bargained for; and if it be true^hat Austria and Prussia have ' fell in with the allied Powers?England, France ' nndTurkey?and all shall prove determined, Nicholas will have about as much to attend to as any man could desire, with as little prospect of fair wages as ever one bad.
