From BelVs Weekly Messenger of WarchlS.

COMMENCEMENT OF WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA

AND TURKEY. Whilst the question of the policy of the

battle of Navarino has been debating in

the British Parliament, Russia, irritated

and stung by the Ottoman manifesto, has

issued a declaration of war against Tur

key, upon independent grounds. This

declaration appears to be founded, first,

upon the non-fulfilment of the tref ty of

Akerman; secondly, on the alleged dis

covery of a secret treaty between the Turks and the Persians; and lastly, upon the tone of insult and defiance in the late

manifesto issued by the Turkish Divan.

but notwithstanding this declaration of

war by the Court of St. Petersburg, and

the personal and independent ground?

upon which it is placed, it is stated that Russia is most desirous to obtain the concurrence of her allies to those measures, which, in the new state of

circumstances, she deems it necessary to

adopt; and it is also added, that if Ureat

Brit'.an and France shall abet her in her

hostilities against the Porte, she will

respect by the circumstances which arise. Assuming it therefore as a fact that hostilities have actually commenced between Russia and Turkey, and that the troops of the former power have been pushed across the Pruth and the Danube, let us for a moment consider the position and characters of the two Empires now opposed to each other. For if the war should not speedily be stopped, it will doubtless lead to the general convulsion ol Europe, and may kindle ailame, burning at first in a remote corner, but spreading by the quick contagion of excited passions through every part of the civilized globe. On one side there is a power, a worn out and feeble despotism indeed, but larger in extent of territory than any in Europe; which has maintained its station for near four centuries in one of the most commanding positions in the world; w hose integrity has been admitted by all the other great powers to be essential to the general peace; ready, by the nature of its government, to enter upon war at

a short notice, and furnished with all the fiscal, military, and naval establesh-'

ments ol a monarchy of long standing. It is true, indeed, that the inhabitants of

the provinces of this extensive Empire on the confines of Russia, are without any

central authority, without cavalry, artillery, magazines, hospitals, or military

chests, whose force consists only of a

rude, undisciplined infantry, armed with

an awkward low musket, to which are

added, according to the circumstai.ces of the individual, pistols, a dagger or a sword ignorant of the use of the bayonet, acknowledging no discipline, and more uninstructcd in war as. an art, than the Greeks of the heroic ages; but still naturally warlike, and enthusiastically attached to their country. In addition to this weakness of the Porte upon her frontier provinces, may be reckoned the degeneracy of the present race of Turk

ish soldieis in the districts best peopled,

and nearest to the capital; the ignorance and inexperience of their commanders, often raised from situations the least fitted to give military knowledge; the total want of subordinate staff officers, or of officers of any kind qualified for the con

duct of a campaign; their deficiency in any organized system of supplies in the field ; the corruption of the government in every gradation; and though last, not least, the poverty ol the Porte, which has long disabled it frem supporting a corps of Janissaries, greater than is necessary for the garrison of the Empire; thus leaving an army in the field to depend principally for its numbers upon the followers of the provincial governors. If we add to this the feudal and local militia, who, from ancient custom, are exempted from keeping the field between November and May, and who never fail to return home in the winter, we have a picture of the military strength of Turkey. And hence it has occurred that, for many years past, the Porte has been unableexcept perhaps on the northern

frontier, where the principal garrisons of

the Janissaries are maintained, to keep together an army of 10,000 men for more than six month?, or even for a short time,

unless when plunder was immediately in view.

Whilst the Greeks, in the conduct cf

their warfare with Turkey, have dis

played a remarkable quickness in adopting the improvements of European art

& science, of which we have a striking ex

ample in the use they have already made

of lire-ships; the i urks, whose patriotism chiefly developes itself in bigotry and

the persecution ol all other religions, and

whose government, however desirous,

has always found it impossible to give the

necessary encouragement and protection to Europeans willing to assist them with their military skill, is left to its own exertions, and the precarious aid of the Mussulman powers of Africa. Such is the condition of one of tbe contending powers. But if we look at Russia, we behold tbe strongest military empire which ever existed upon the face of the earth; au ?nipire decidedly invincible at home, and though

not tbe most powerful or formidable assailant 1

abroad, frcm the imperfection of her Commis-

aa the campaign will be carried on in thepro-Iof the globe; and that it will be made vinces of Turkey, the invading armies will in also to appear that thriving village can

a great measure be enabled to subsist them

selves in, the country of tbe enemy. In

word, thera is no equality between the parties

nothing like a lair and reasonable competi

tion; and unless the war be stepped, either

by negotiation, tbe concessions of the Porte or by some treaty of defensive alhance, in aid of Turkey, by the other Eurcpean powers, wc can see no other termination to it U an the overthrow and dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. The Porte has cot strength enough to stand the first blow, she has no barrisr within which to retire; no bayonet for temporary shelter; so that the very rst break cf the billows will bring her upon her beam ends. We may add, moreover that the war will be decidedly popular in Russia, The Gretk cause wouhl itself he sufficient; but the late infraction of the treaty of Akerman, and the contemptuous tone of the Divan, hate given to the quarrel a pajriotis character throughout the whole empire And if Rusaia should ence more fiVsh her sword in the Turkish provinces her appetite will not be sated till tbe whole empire of the Turks shall be swallowed up.
