K tP* regard it as uselesfc aa^ jt is impracticable
to publish detailed accounts ofrtbe -movements
in the East. Such details fall tt> interest us, and
j we believe would afford nothing but drowsiness
to our readers, "W^h^ye a horror of all these
t details in reference to the affairs of the Eastern
belligerents. The names of men and places
there are enough to strain the philological
powers of any one, and wlien wc have guessed
i at the pronunciation of half of them a dozen
p times, wo cannot be certain whether any two
s guesses were the same, or any single one within
- t?n degree^ of the correct. We fafite to read
s anything%nlesB we can tell?or st least think I
E ?over afterwards what we linvc read; and for
i the life of us, we^can't tell, after looking over
the Eastern news, what has been done, or by
whom it was done. 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. "

of true men, in disputes ..of this kind, to

, general such a course is proper; for it is usual*
, ly tbe weaker eide who are oppressed?a weak
. power has sense enough to know" that an aty
tempt to oppress a strong power would cert 5
tainly result disastrously to itbelt Thus whei? 1
this-Eastern disturbance first began, we>b^ve
no doubt American' sympathy was towards
Turkey, the weaker party in the affray. But
now when four other formidable kingdoms

is not always rightly directe2t& In this

mis-directed. If she attemjited^ "to tyrannize
i ov_er and aubdue the Turks, ..and they resisted
jier, the aid of the whole-itrdrld in assisting to
repel the aggression should not divert our sym
pamyv ueapotism ought to be crushed, though
' the combined powers of earth and heaven .
' were necessary to iho blow.? " '
But we cannot be ,yery certain as ta?the .
1 faithfulness of Turkey's'allies. Unless a strong
sense of .self-interest bind them fie$ we'shall '
1 look tfo-ri&e her deserted when the hoar of fierot <

are generally.more pwynpt to,espouse theca&o '

But even'should the allied 'Pdwera continao
in the field, we can but ,doul}t the possibility. o| j
Russia's subjection even then, -^fiho is gigantic
in proportion#, fierce in conflict, inexhaustibio
in respurccs, and indomitable iu energy ond

"We lqarn from undoubted authority that Mr. 1
Soule has written to the Stat* Department, that
thp.grounds assumed by the Spanish GoVera- 1
montin relation to'the Black Warrior affair,
were1?-first, that that vessel' violated tho law, ;
and was jwtly fined ; thatthe application for
liberty to make a pos^ entry of her cargo was
not made within the time allowed bylaw. - Fi?

their fault, and implored remission of for- rJ1
fciture, the same bad been, remitted, and that ed;
matter, had been adjusted. That the CubAU nti

are only anxious and will continue to inaniifcat

It .frill seem from this that Spain placcs her
remiesion of the 53,000 Jino upon the gWund of fu]
mercy, and not justice; that tho owners of the jR(

and "implored" forgiveness, they aro forgiven. to

The charges against the Cuban officials of bo- jQ
