War in the Crimea. After an interval of " thirty-nine years " the peace of Europe was again disturbed. The Czar Nicholas of Russia moved, it is said, by prophecies, which assigned to the dominion of the Turks in Europe a period of 400 years from the taking of Constantinople in 1453, thought the time was come for seizing, after he had in vain proposed to divide with England, the inheritance of the " Sick Man, " as he called the Sublime Porte. He marched his armies into the principalities of Mold...avia and Wallachia, and his Black Sea fleet issuing suddenly from Sebastopol, destroyed the Turkish Navy at Sinope. In the following spring, England and France declared war in defence of Turkey, and sent expeditions to the Baltic and the Euxine to adduce u the last reason of kings. "* The noble defence of the line of the Danube by the Turks under Omar Pasha " left the allied armies available for an attempt to destroy the fortress of Se- Smith. bastopol (or Sevastopol) —which means ' The City of the Emperor or Czar, Se^o-aros being the Greek equivalent for the Latin Augustus '* whence Russia dominated the Euxine and menaced Constantinople.
