After much negotiation a plan for the 1 settlement of the Turkish difculty, so ` faras it relates to the rebellion inihe 3 Proviiices, has been proposed by the Austrian Government, which has really- the chief interest in the matter, and uotxapted by the other powers, England included. .l.t is, however, one tliing for the Porto to promise and another for it to perform, and it is just in the cli'er- ence between the two, that trouble is ` likely to arise. ltis further reported that in the meantime Russia is ninking prepamtions for possible emergencies by moving troops and munitions of war , towards her South-western frontier. By some who liave been discussing the Eastern question it is suggested that the" conquest of Turkeypby Russia, or any other European power, might not be such an easy task as is generally assumed. The rapid growth of Mahometanism in Africa and India, to say nothing of Central Asia, shows that any power which could rally around it in it religious war the many wm'liker:1ons by which the religion of lslaln is professed would be a formidable opponent. No men ght more stubbornly than the Turk when his funuticisin is aroused, and though the Governinc-ntal departments of the Porto are elfet-e and corrupt, the nation at large has yet iinmense vitzility, and, if driven to the wall, and colnpellvd to tight-,.uot for com piest but for existence, , it would light as it lies never fought for many centuries past, and would, there is no doubt, in such a contest, be largely reinforced not only by Europem`. a(l\`<-11- turers but by fierce and tzuizttical tril-os A from many dirfereut pmrtcrs. s`.\..u.'..L ..'..iun l....yn Ln...` ...\..._ . ,,.i PARLI AMEN TA RY.
