The 9,000,U00 of eastern Christians that arc under the crescent, and subject to all its insults, its oppression, and its tyranny, may rise up a glorious nation— $ a mighty dynastry—a nobler obstruction jk, to Russian ambition than the decrepit and (lying Turkish empire, which western nations vainly try to keep up. Turkey, just I at the period predicted in prophecy, 'began to die out, as we have already seen. The a evidence of this is recent testimony respectss ing her. Lamartine, in one of "those sagacious aphorisms by which his eloquence is distinguished, says "Turkey dies for want of Turks." The grand" decay of li the Turkish empire identifies the period in which we are now with what is called in the Apocalypse the Sixth Nial.

manner in which he thought it might be concluded to the satisfaction of both parties. At the very time that this occurred, and with that'double dealing which is characteristic of Spanish ministers, the Government here had decided to send a special messenger to the United States, to try to settle the question without Mr. Soule's intervention. Accordingly, within forty eight hours after the conversation, Mr. Galino started for Washington, the bearer of written dispatches and oral instructions from Mr. Calderon de la Barca. Affairs of State, however, are not long secret in a country ruled by a woman so indiscreet of speech and so addicted to favorites as the present sovereign of Spain and it appears that before the departure of the special envoy, Mr. Soule was acquainted with its approach, and with the nature of the mission. The ministers then tried to persuade him that Mr. Galiano's papers and instructions had reference to the settlement of old affairs£pending between the two countries, and had nothing to do with the Black Warrior but Mr. Soule, it appears was too well informed to be put off with such idle tales, and doubtless considering that a well intended attempt on his part to facilitate the friendly arrangement of a troublesome affair had been met with duplicity and underhand dealing, he referred to Mr. Calderon's note to the U. S. Government, from which he awaits instructions before proceeding further in the business. The chain of circumstances and the actual position of the case are not generally known here but to a few persons they are known, and I must say that I have heard some of tho?e whose regard to fair play and straightforward conduct is superior to the narrower feelings of nationality, strongly censure the proceedings of ministers in this last phase of the affair, in which Mr. Soule, upon the other* hand, appears to have acted in a manner tending to refute the charges brought against him of sharp practice and a hostile disposition in the earlier stages of the question.— The Spanish Government, whose representatives at Havana—as I have in a former letter shown—certainly brought it
