Whatevee may be the upshot of the differences between Russia and England, it would appear that the presence of the former's army in Eoumelia is becoming unbearable to the inhabitants, and some serious disturbances may be expected if the Russians should persist in carrying to extremities the role of conquerors. Already, we learn, a serious Mussulman rising has taken place, and ifc is feared that this may assume a grayer aspect should the Russians carry out their expressed intention of taking their troops into Stamboul to attend the Greek Churches. In fact the proposal looks very like an attempt to proroke the inhabitants, so that the Muscovites can find an excuse for taking possession of the City. The situation is certainly rery critical. With Roumania in arms and opposed to Russian aggression; with England and Austria in a decidedly ! hostile attitude; and the inhabitants of Constantinople and the country around in readiness for an active and forcible protest against Russia's demands, the position of the latter's army cannot be other than critical. It appears to us that the policy which Russia has shown throughout is unaltered. While professing a desire for peace and a discontinuance of hostilities, she does not neglect a single more that could possibly be conceived to strengthen her position. We should not be surprised to hear that the terms of peace entered into by the" Porte have been repudiated by the people, and that a new regime has been set up.
