Political Speculation.
WVe copy the following curious paragraph from a French evenirng paper of WVdtnesday, in which it appears in the form ot a communicatioA from Vienna. It will be evident, oii the slightest inspection, that it assumes as true, facts of which we have no proof, and ascribes to our Ministers magnificent designs and projects, of which it is most pro- bable they are entirely innocent. WPe have yet to learn that Egyp! lies between Russia and Hindostan,and that the Enmperor Alexander, if once in possession of Constanti- nople, would have to ask permission of a western Pacha to advance to the Ganges:- iEngrland, present in aU[ the Cabinets ef Europe, had prepared a long time ago the revolution of which Egypt is now the theatre. This great power, which scatters gold with unsparing hand, had made, it is said, a secret treaty two years ago, with the Viceroy of Egypt. It is even pretended, that one of the articles of this treaty purports that the Prince who governs that country should take the title of King, and, supported by the subsidies of England, should makc Egypt an insurmountable bar- rier agaisiat the ambitious projects of the Russian Cabinet on the Eonglish ossessions in Hindostan; for it migbt happen that the fonnidable power of Russia, if put in possession of the capital of the Crescent, might direct its forces towards the Ganges, and attack the British Empire in the centre of its power. We might men- tion, in support of these assertions, the fitting-out of Turkish frigates in the Thames two years ago, and the providing of them with all the munitions of war. AHi the Englisb journais at that time stated that these arimaments were making for the use of the Vicro of E vt. I" Theo proc!amation of Independence of that country, which has arrived on the eve of commenctng a fourth campaign against tht Greeks, is the most complete triumph of English policy in Dasope; forat asingle stroke it levels with the dust Ottomanpride,counter- acts the plans of Russia, and gives a victory tooppressed humanity. Never did the Cabinet of St. James's conceive a greater plan, or one which at the same time conciliates so many interests." POLITICAL SPECULATION.
