THE EAST Elf QUSSTJOX.
The schemes of the government nt St.
Petersburg are being considered more at
tentively at this stage of the war than be
fore. The large military force which the
Emperor has in readiness to take the field
excites suspicion, and it is whispered that
he has designs of enlargement nt his
power, for which the present scents a ln\
orable opportunity. It is rumored on the
one hand that Prussia is in league w ith
Russia to make no interference with tin
wishes of the latter for increase of
power upon tho black Sea and Darda
nelles; and upon the other that though
there may be no such league, Russia is
awaiting the weakening of Prussia by the
war to make a spring upon the possessions
which she lias long coveted. In short It
is said that Russia has viewed and en
couraged this war solely for her own ag.
grandizement. and is now prepared to
strike when she judges the opportune
movement has arrived. The following
article from the London Globe of the lath
is an interesting sketch of the situation :
Should that great Power which hangs like
a thunder cloud upotf the eastern horizon of
Euiope take advantage of the present crisis
to prosecute her designs on Turkey she would
no longer, it is clear, have the Anglo-French
alliance to encounter. If France had the powi r
she would probably not have the will to join
us in another war, and if she had the wdi she
would certainly not have the power, but it
is said that the course of events in Europe
since 1834 has converted another great empire
into a much more natural barrier ugiinst
Russian ambition than France t ver could have
Deen. Ausma is umu-u viunm'^
which seem almost indissoluble, .anil are none
the weaker because they have ceased to he
political. Hut Austria has set her lace to
wards the East, and we tru*t that she will not
look back. She lias long experience in the
management of heterogeneous populations,
aud that she has held together at all i* a
proof of no mean skill. It should be her mis- |
sion to subdue and civilize those w ild and j
turbulent races which lie upon her eastern
frontier, and should the day ever come when
the Turk has to fold his robes and retire with
dignity into the land which originally sent
him forth, to step into the vacant space and
solve the Eastern question. * * * Pru»sia
can hardly either expect or desire to push her
frontier to the Gulf or Venice, and it a great
southeastern empire is to be formed at all,
she would, we may suppose, rather see it Aus
trian than Cossack. From this point of view,
then, Russian aggression might he cheeked by
an Anglo-Austrian alliance, Prussia and
France remaining neuter, as Ik fore it was
checked by an Anglo-French alliance, Prussia
and Austria remaining neuter.
The calculation is a beautifully imple one, |
but we are afraid that for the practical affairs
of the world it is somewhat too simple. We ,
can understand that Prussia might view such
a result with indifference, but there is noth
ing in the world to make her regard it with j
enthusiasm, nothing to lead us to believe that
she would continue to acquiesce in it did »he ;
see any way to benefit herself by thwarting |
it. And thus it comes that the question may
be in this shape—which can pay the higher
for British neutrality, Austria or Russia!!
And this question leads us direct to the mo-t
important considerations of all by which the j
subject is surrounded. There is a particular ,
acquisition which is coveted by both Russia !
and Prussia, which both may obtain if they ‘
agree, and which neither can obtain if they j
quarrel. Botli desire more complete access |
to the sea, and what the Dardanelles are to
8t. Petersburg that is the Baltic to Berlin.
Each State has it in iier power to gratify the
other. A Russo-German alliance lor giving
the northwest seaboard to Prussia and the i
southeast seaboard to her confederate, could j
not be resisted in the present condition ot !
France with anything like a certainty ot suc
cess. And such a bargain seems so very!
natural—the geography of Europe seems so
obviously to suggest it—that we cannot al
low the idea to be pure phantom. If, on the |
other hand, it is asked from which of the two I
Powers, Russia or Austria, have the Huhcn
zollerns the more to fear, the answer is
equally ready, hegemony of Germany has
been definitely transferred, and it is to the '
highest degree improbable that Austria should ;
ever try to recover it. liut in no other way
can the two Powers ever come into collision. !
With the consummation of German unity a
repetition ol the war of I860 seems impossi
ble. But ail this time Russia lies watchfully
in her lair, ready to come out the moment
that the newly formed German kingdom seeks
to realize its maritime aspirations. To buy
off Russian opposition to tin* fulfilment of her
darling object may seem worth any price to i
Prussia; nor do we believe that she would
hesitate when the price was merely co-opera
tion with Russia in her Turkish policy, which j
would hardly affect her own material interests
at all.
We have spoken of the chances of success
which would attend resistance to such a league,
and we have spoken doubtfully. Still, it
must not be forgotten that Prussia has note :
wade three enemies iv Europe; and that in
the event in questton the instirn t ot sdi-pres
ervation must necessarily prevail with Austria
over even those strong German sympathies,
which still attract her. It is, however, pre
mature to speculate on details. liut this
much docs seem probable, that Prussia will
soon have to decide, it she lias not decided
already, between liussu and Europe; hhJ
that Russia has, to say the least ol if, a tempt
ing bait to bang before her. To suppose licit the
Court of St. Petersburg lets abandon.d its long
cherished designs is more absurd than any hy
pothesis we have here ventured on. While
France is prostrate, and while England is .
friendless, seems a favorable opportunity lor
developing designs to which these two Pow
ers have alway s been the t hief opponents.
Should such an unfortunate event happen,
England cannot evade her rt sponsihilitn s as
she evaded them in the case of If. numrk :
and terrible will be the indignation of a de
luded people which at such a crisis finds it
self powerless to fulfil them.

THE * N It ESA SI) OAII IS A CYCLOSE.
The United States steamer Shenandoah, for
the safety of which L ars were entertained,
lots recently been heard from at Lisbon. She
was caught in a cyclone a few days after leav
ing port and narrowly escaped destruction.
A writer on board of her gives the Pillowing
account ot her experience in the terrible gale
to which she was exposed. She had just been
refitted and rebuilt at Charlestown, Mass.,
and was in splendid condition. She bad 2 is
souls aboard. i he writer says:
(»?i Sunday September 3, the Shenandoah
and her pilot parud company in President's
lioad'. liostou harbor. The same good for
tune vrhieh had attended her thus far contin
ued with her; favorable winds carried her on
her course; the weulher was a type of all that
has been described as delightful, and the ship's j
company was unusually healthy. On the
morning of September #th the w ind hauled
ahead, although the weather continued fine as !
it had been. With the exception of the usual .
di-satisfaetion manifested h/ sailor tin n at ■
contrary winds, nothing unwelcome occurred
until the thh, w hen there fell slight showers
ot rain; the sky was rather cloudy, the wind
using to an occasional squall. On the 10t*4 the
glass was observed to tali, an 1 to do so rather
rapidly, w hich caused some solicitude, hut no
apprv Pension. On Sunday the llili, just one
week from the compass buoys, the wind com
menced to freshen in the morning and contin
ued to increase slow ly, raising a heavy sea.
At twelve meridian the ship began to pitch
considerably. For some time, however, the
sail had gradually been shortened, simply to
be oil the safe side in ease anything unexpect
ed should occur, and also to be in accordance
with tlnft marine udmonisher the barometer.
Suddenly the tempest increased, and the
slop gave sueh a violent lurch that the ward
room table was completely inverted simply by
gravity, so that the loll to leeward was at
least forty-six degrees to forty-seven degrees ;
the whole distance rolled in the lurch was six
tv-nine degrees. At one o’clock the glass had
talleii to 2.) :.»5. At half-past one o’clock the
violence of the sea djmvc in the pivot port on
the larboard bow, and tin* deck was deluged
almost instantly; but by a rapid replacement
of the unshipped timbers the threatened dan
ger was averted. The water thus taken on
hoard swashed heavily about, urged by the
rolling of the ship, and as it struck either port
or starboard bulwark it seemed to completely
stagger the vessel, which responded to these
tern tic blows by a tremulous shudder, as if in
remonstrance at such treatment.
, The gale steadily continued to increase in
violence and strength,' blow ing from the cast
southeast, driving before it a blinding spoon
spray, so furiously as to render any object,
however bulkv, invisible at a distance of about
five liundrecl feet. Tt was now impossible—
uttetly so—to go aloft to furl the sail which
the force of the gale had started adrift by rea
son of its parting the port-m lintopsail sheet;
n..r could ilie sail lie elewed down in sufficient
time to prevent it from being literally blown
to ribbons. It was obliged to be so left, flut
tering and betokening distress, and cracking
iu the wind as fiexiblv as a coachman's whip.
At twenty minutes past six the niizzen storm
; staysail tuck (the only sails carried now were
ihe fore and niizzen storm staysails) parted
with a startling snap, but the sail was fortun
ately limited down ami secured before any one
whs hurt with the flying block. I cn minutes
afterward with a frightful crash the main top
gallant mast was carried away, but owing to
ihe strength of the rigging it hung swinging
violently inboard and outboard with the mo
tion of the vessel, terming a fearful and peril
ous spectacle. It "as utterly out of the ques
j lion to secure the wreck for the reason before
! jjiv, a. namely, the impossibility of goingalott;
; mi that the additional danger of the encum
brance (for such it had now become) cutting
through the standing rigging was presented.
At sev en o'clock the glass h id fallen to Js :liI,
„nd the cvclone hail reached a fury and a vio
lence without u paralU 1 in the teuietiibranee
ot ttnv individual on board.
At eight o'clock so violent was the motion
and so high «as the sea that the steam launch,
secured at the davits just forward ot the main
mast on the starboard side was wrenched
violently inboard, rnd the davits themselves
twi-ted like wire, although they were five
incites in diameter, forged in solid iron. The
heavy iron cradles in which the launch rested
wlie'll in situ were snapped like glass. Id
.. by this of the instability ot what had
hitherto been considered sufficiently secure,
extra lashings were placed on the guns and
other heavy movables, i be larger yards bad
been provided with prevent! r braces and
jumpers some hours belore. I be rigging now
began to display a dangerous laxity, and hung
loo-elv, sagging in towards the mast, becom
ing a tritie taitl, only on the more elevated
stile as the ship roiled. bashings were
stretched across the starboard to the port
tower standing rigging, with the view to pre
vent the inevitab e chafe ami weakening
which must ensue on such a continued motion.
At ten o’clock the cry cants-from the tor
ward part ot the vesse’, acquainting the laint
liearti da ml almost despairing mbrtals with the
intelligence that the flying jibboom had been
carried away. As it ti ll so it had to remain,
it being loulhardy to even think ot securing
the wreck. At half-past ten the foretop-gul
ktnt mast snappeil oil short at the cap, like the
si ivciing ot a gigantic icicle, anil tl.e wreck
hung si tshing backwards and torn aid with a
thundering clatter, adding more calamity to
that already threatvi.b g the vessel. At eleven
i „ ,1,11k the I'XCCsS HI Hlf liming ami me m .gin
; ,■! ilie* sea tore from it*- lastciiingi at the <l;ivits
i the s. c.md launch, which went down b,V the
i run in the water alongside. liy wondertul
I ifl’ort on the p rtof those in charge the tackle
was tn tmierl. the boat hoisted oil boartl and
lashed on deck.
Everything that could he don, to insure any
hope of safety had been done, l.ashings had
been placed around about every com atable
object likely to fetch away or get adrilt. so
that now in this helpless condition compara
tively there was nothing to do but to await the
issue as calmly and philosophically as one
might.
At.eight o’clock the joyful tidings were cir- j
ciliated that the glass was rsing. although the
hurricane continued w ith frightful force and
unabated violence the w hole evening and the
early hours of the next day. Sail the glass j
continuid to rise, and this inspired hope. I
1 lie value of the aseensi ill w is practically il- !
lustrated about tour o’clock on the morning of j
the 12th by a slight moderation id the gal,— j
a circumstance noted by all with emotions
'■ composed of hope and fear—hope slightly
j predominant. The improvement of atihirs
irom this point was gradual, hut it was steady ;
I but there still rimaincd a dreadfully high sea
! running. In the trough of which it was feared
! tin* 1 iw masts would roll out ot the ship. Scv- j
i oral times she t, U oil’ into it. hut providential- j
i Iv, escaped, and by skillful iiiantruvring she
I was guarded against a similar disaster. The
: pitching at these times was so great that the
! sea was more than once seen by the officer on
the quarterdeck over tiie foreyard; and the
j logical result of such motion w as unavoidably
j illustrated by the tearing adrift, through the
filling with water of the dingee. which boat
hung in fancied security close up to the after
davits.
The poopdeek for this short space of time
was actually submerged, and the heavy, surg
ing. turbulent seas resembled in their outlines
gigantic human silhouettes, on the angry, up
i turned countenances ot which the vessel was
heaved, as if sht* had grounded on the face of
some amphibious Titan.
The gale gradually subsided, taking about
forty-eight hours so to do, and it was then that
many items of damage of minor note were
discovered, and va-ious personal inconven
iences revealed themselves in the shape of
saturated bedding and wearing apparel; hut
the joy at our deliverance was too universal
to allow such tiilles to fret for one moment.
At half-past thr, a o'clock on the morning of
the 12th there drifted rapidly past us, about !
two hundred yards to leeward, the In lplcss, i
tossing, tumbling wreck of a vessel, suppos
ahly a ship, baling visible the slump of one !
i mast. The bull could not lie distinguished, be :
cause the sea was running too high, and the only
light was that derived from the moon, til
| course no life could he observed on board, nor
j could assistance have been rendered bad
ii been otherwise. That wrei k was doubtless
but one of tin* victims sacrificed to appease
the manes of the angry Cyclone, and the |
names of those unfortunates who perished in ,
j her will lint serve to swell the air,at !v mourn- i
S fill catalogue of those whose sad, simple and j
1 touching obituary must be, "Lost at sea.”
