The tribute of gratitude paid, last night, by both Houses of Parliament, in the name of the wake, to the Army and Navy, for their services during the war, has bees nobly earned. When we make this afilnestion we do it without reserve; we do not ask that one complaint which has bees urged against the ecadect of the war should in a courtly spirit be hashed (cc the moment, sad mere lip homage paid in the hour of triumph. Eves these who have most ezeggersted acknowledged shortoomioge cannot deay that those have been owing to anything but want of good-will be the emus. And the national basks were voted to the Army and Navy for what the aggregate body have effected under all disedvanteges—for the truly British courage shown oa the field of battle, for the hero* unmurmuring medusas' of searing through months of privation and Messes. So long as the war was in progress it was our duty to direct attention more exclusively to mistakes and =Woos, is order to compel amendment ; sow that it Is at an med. it is our duty to strike a fair balm* between what has been blameable and what has been merit*. risme; and when this has been dons, we fearlessly imelatain that Great Britain has wog reams to be proud of the efforts *be has made in the late heist but glorious struggle, and in the part she has horse is the hordes and toil of the day. The statistieal details submitted last night, by Lord PANIII7/11, to the Howse of Lords, prove that Great Britain has played no secondary or subordinate part in the war. Though our Navy his been denied an opportunity of putting forth the whole of its might, yet its operatioos more than anything elm serve to place, is their tree light, the exertions of Great Britain. Daring the years 1864 and 1866, British transports sad esmi of-war conveyed 123,106 sass (inolteding militia, &a) hoer this country to the Mediterrasesa, and 26,669 hoe the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. Daring the more period they con veyed 62,919 French soldier' to the Baltic and Mediteresuesan, and 19,301 Sardinians to the Black Sea. In the Black Sea they moved 170,634 troops ; and they moved 43,186 coastwise. In short, the British Navy were instrumental in Deluging into active service an aggregate of 436,803 men. Their services did not stop here : they conveyed 23,068 British hones, 2,195 French, and 3,326 Sardinian, to the seat of war. They also conveyed 316,739 teas of British stares, 18,881 French, and 4,298 Sardinian, to the seat of war. These figures speak for themselves more eloquestly than words. They show hew mew Mal, how indispensable, hes been the eaopeeation of Great Britain in enabling the Allies to bring Into the field a force adequate to some the triumph which they have sehieved. We turn now to eonaider what Great Britain has done is the purely military field of operations. The amused straegth of the regular British army in the Crimea woe 70.000 men at the dais of the war. The number of militiamen enrolled during the woe was 63,603. The militia has given 33,104 men to the line sibs November, 1864. The 3rd Lancashire, the Northampton, and the 2nd West York Militia Regi ments have seat 1,777 sea to genii= Gibraltar; the But Heat 626 to garrison Malta; the Ist Lanceskira 3rd Middlesex, the Oxford, the lot Stafford, sad the Wiltshire have sent 3,648 to garrisoa the losila lolanda. Besides these, Great Britain has raised three Foreign Legions with a total of 16,821 ease, and has organised and 'maintained a Turkish Chstingest of 10,479 men (of whom 17,271 were natives), a corps of Osmanli cavalry umbering 2,733, and a Turkish artillery corps of 327 men. La addition teas sunless rendered to the common muse by beingiag the armies lato action in an efficient condities, Groat Britain hes seat her fair proportion of fighting ma M the field, and to the namely km important charge of gamines duty. How oar soldiers and sailors have blight whom ever an opportunity offered—how they have endured toils, privation, 'Whams, and danger in the field or . imminent deedly beanie —we coaldeatly leave to be told by their gallant comrades in arms of other nations. Or rather, Alma, Balaklava,and Inkermana, the ma attack on the Sebastopol forts, Bettie, and the Sea of Agog %inborn, and the Basilian navy sosspelled to skulk ender the shelter of its Baltic forts speak for themselves. A more :melancholy tale remains to be told. Sines the commencement of the war &gland hes lest 19,664 gallant wen by death in action, wounds, sad disease ; and 2,873 have been Weida: discharged from the navvies on account of the two latter cams. Keg land hes sealed her declared= of undisching devotion to the canoe of national independence by the seerilse of 22,437 gallant soldiers. Of three, 1,999 fell bravely in swim ; about 1,621 sunk under their wounds, 4,279 died of cholera, and 11,461 of other diseases. In justice to those who have had the arduous :sharp or conducting the war our knees ought to be empered with those of the other belligerent armies. Ragland hie lost in all 22,457. The lanes of the French, an far se they have bees secertained, meount to 60,000. Count OaLorr ban admitted in Petis that the Reselan lees has been not less than 600,000. The l loss sostained by the Sardinians hes net been, and the, loss sustained by the Turks never will be, ascer tained. Two Istituto' may be drawn from these sets. Is the Int place, it is obvious that the lives of oar British sold*s hare been at least es well eared for as than 'of the French. At present the health of oar troops in the Crimea is tally as good as the health of those stationed at Aldsrebott. Accord ing to the latest Crimean returns, in an army of 70,000 men, the admission to hospital were 1.48 per cent. ; the deaths 0.002 per cont.; the sick 3.72 per cent. At Aldershott, out of 16,000 men, the admis sions to hospital were 2.71 per end.; the deaths 0.008 per cent. ; the sick 3.69 per cent. In the snood pima, it is obvious that the Allies, by waging a partly land and partly maritime war on the frontiers of Ramie, have placed their sntagonist at an immense disadvantage. The losses of the Allies, who moved their men and supplied them with stores and prod sloes by sea, have bees immeasurably fewer than those of the Russians, who moved their by land. It is ad mitted on the part of the Russians that fully two thirds of their lases were sustained, not on the mosses of actual warfare—in the valley of the Demobs or in the Crimes—bat upon the marshes ham the interior. With a view to guard their capital, and to preserve Sebastopol, the great instrument upon which they relied for carrying into effect their ambi tious projects, the Russians have been obliged to march troops from all parte of the empire to their southern and northern frontiers. These movements were made entirely within their own territories. An absolute Government had at its command the entire supplies of the empire and all its means of transport. Yet in their marches alone they lost upwards of 300,000 men ; whil^ the French and English, who had to wage the war at a distance from their own territories, have not lost more than—in battle and in marches together—about 80,000. This proves how incompetent the vaunted might of the Russian Empire is to con tend, even on the defensive and at home, against the combined might of the more completely aivilind Western Powers. It also shows the wisdom of that strategy which concentrated its efforts in the attack upon Sebastopol and the blockade of the Russian Baltic Beet, instead of tempting death and disaster by moving troops into the intake of Russia, or even of Asiatic Turkey. In the muse of two brief years, with a loss of nearly 23,000 brave men, Great Britain has mate rially contributed to arrest the march of Rug= soequest asd aggression—if not for ever, at lesat for a period the termination of which no man can discern. Our material resources have not felt the drain upon them; oar fineness ere uemnbarramed. We have an Army brave es ever, hardened for mill. tats efforts by actual service in the field, and im proved by expels's°, of real war. And we have a Navy ready at a moment's warning such as the world he. never before seen. The voice of Great Britain will be respectfully listened to in the amens of the nations; and we hope—we know—it will as sert in tames of command He emancipation of Italy from tyrants, and the maintenance of the °make- Banal liberties of the Belgian people. TER debate on Sir Da LAcr Evans's motion is the subject of the Purchase of Comatiesions in the Army. terminated, it will be recollected, by Lord Paulin 'rote undertakiag on the part of Government to appoint a Commission to inquire into the subject ; and the lißcemar of Bran for the WAR DitrAwritarr has, we learn, lost no time is performing the under taking sabred into by the Yana Muturrsa.

Sir DR Lacy EVANS will repre sent those strong military opinions against the present system, combined with whet knowledge of all subsidiary military matters, which are to some extent prevalent in the army.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. IBCIMION IN THE BELGIAN CHAMBER UPON THE FREEDOM OF THE PRES& The Brasses papers of yesterday contain full re ports of the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives on Wednesday, in which interpellations were ad dressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs relative to Idle attack made upon the Belgian press in the late Congress at Paris. The sitting commenced at half past two p.m. The galleries open to the public were densely crowded. The interpellations, of which notice had been given by M.Orts, were Ant on the orders of the day. E. Ohre sommeeeed with shading to the 'question nested is Belgian by the grave accusations and seem isseneenasedtreoted against Belgium and its press in the late sittLege of the Paris Congress. Ha would not deny that a few of the joursals of Belgium had indulged in violent and unpatriotic Impale, bat even this wes not exclusively directed spinet France ; and certainly posensed no feature& which mould not be remedied by the wagtail' laws. He then pointed oat the exceedieg stringency of the sots regarding the press, end demanded to be informed of e single cue in which the application of the law bai been relined. But was the Belgian press the only oats in Europe in which vio laters of language wee In be found ? He wished to know of the government if myelin. had been done to communicate to the Proud government or the governments represented at Paris, the protest of Belgian against the accusations of which it had been the object. The speaker then proceeded to remark epos the charge that Belgium had failed in the exercies of its. International duties,—reviewing the history of the many due the declaration of Its independents', and shaming for it the virtu of ►ewing by its attitude rendered the greatest service. to Europe. " They speak," he rot eluded, " 4 the dimmest to whisk I have referred, of reforms asomeary, Indispensable, to the rep os and traaquility of the European states—reforms which the Belgian government and the great majority of the eolietry ere sot able to effect. What us these reforms They are—we have the right to suppose so, at Inset—re forms In the institution, seeing that for legal reforms the legislative majority is trufficient. In the presence of these words, I am authorised in demanding of the government a plate reply to the following questions the French go vernment, en say of the other governments which took part in the Congress of Park, in the sitting of the Bth of April, asked the Belgian government to introduces any reform late war sonstitutioto ? and, if such a demand is one day placed Wan the cabinet, I ask that it tell me cow, is it Its Intimation to empty 1 Such are the questions which, In order to reassure and j notify the cowry, I believe it my duty to put to the cabinet." (Cheers ) Y. ViLLI3I, Minister of Forslgn Afia re, roes amidst pro found silence. He sald,—Gentlemen, I have the honour to reply in a very words to the three condone put to me by the honourable K. Ora, H. asks me, in the first plus, if the cabinet has made any communication to the French government or to any of the governments represented at the Congers, of Paris, shore the publCation of the protocol of the 8 h April. When I read this pro•oeol in the journals I believed it my duty, in spite of engagements of a melancholy character, to prepare—in case the Fr. nob government, or any other government represented at Pale, should transmit officially the tnaty of pace with the protocols to the cabinet of Brawls—a reply, whieb should be communicated to all the governments taking part in the Cannes. This response was finished four days ago; it is ready, and if it was permitted me to read It here, perhaps the chamber would find la It a portion of the considerations which the hon. H. Orts has set before us. (Hear, hear.) There is only wanting to this doeument,—whCh has been finished and ready, I repeat, for four dap,—there is only wanting my signature. It was my inter Von to deliver it on the day after that upon which any of the powers repreestried at the Caress of Paris, notified to us the treaty apace and the protocol.. Is the second plaos, the hon. U. Otte wishes to know if any one of the g iveramenu represented at the Cou pes& have demsaded that the Belgian government should propose some modification in the constitution. Noes! Finally, the hon. K. Oren asks If the cabinet, in ease such a demand should be made, would be disposed to propos, to the chamber any cheeps in the con , stitation ? Never (This last word pronoucced by the misister In a load vole*, was received with "bravos " and prolonged applause by the left, by the entre, and by some members of the right, at also by the galleries.) Y. 01T1—I thank the minister for his reply to my inter ' pellations. After the reception which has been given by the chamber to that reply, I have only on. sentiment to expreees and that is my pride at having heard sub • reply mood from the lips of a former member of the National Coupons. (Renewed appl nee.) - - , The PIISIDEXT—After this peffotic words of the Mi nister of Forsiga Affairs, the sentiments expressed by M.

The President proposed to go on with the orders of the day, but 13 great was the euftement that upon the request of several members the chamber adjturued. ADDRESS OF THE CIRCASSI TO THE SULTAN. The following Is a translation of the address pre sented to the Porte on the 24th ult., by a deputation from the mountain tribes of the Caucasus: "TO U. THE SULTAN ABDUL NEWID KHAN, &O. "The undersigned have the honour of setting fortk, that although you have been at all times our Padishab, our refuge, our light, and the fountain of our prosperity,.the invasion of the accursed Mus covite has brought us in some sort under his tyrannical sway, and caused many and grave die uteri. Nevertheless, even as when the sun sets, his rising is certain, and may be predicted —so have we with equal constancy ever refused to listen to Russian blandishments, or yield to his schemes; neither has his gold purchased u, how great soever may have been our tribulations. We have never erased, se all the world knows, to risk against his strength our lives, our fortune*, and those of our sots, struggling on and combating night and day with the sole aid of the Most High. "Thanks be to heaven, the light of the Imperial sun, so ardently longed for, has at length shone, and shed its glory on all the Mussulman rase; but espe cially on Cireassia. May God Almighty, for the love of our holy Prophet, guard your Imperial High ness and sacred person from all the ills of life, and grant a complete victory over all your enemies. "The proverb say., time out of mind, that we should never allow an old custom to fall into disuse I and according to that of our country and its im perishable law; after having sworn we set about the work without delay. Some thirty years ago, your servant, Zanude Befer Bar, having chosen twelve delegates among the twelve Circassian tribe., pro vided them with credentials and dispatched them to your Imperial Porte, with • declaration that the Pad - shah—our only light and fountain of prosperity —being our only sovereiga and master besides—we were determined never to separate from his rule. "Ever faithful to the state, and to the true faith, we lived in expectation, when a great functionary tame to Circaseia with a mission, and ,provided with your Imperial firmao. "Your sovereignty was thus established in M oues. We rejoiced with our children, offered up prayers and sacrifices to Heaven for the prolongation of our Padishah's days and his triumph over his atomics; swearing also before the Eternal God, that never till doomsday should we acknowledge any other master. " When this war broke out, in which our Padi shah, together with the two Allied Powers, fought the Muscovite—the undersigned, your servants, en• tared the lists and did their best under the command of Befer Puha. But as now the news of peace hu reached, and there is no mention made of Circus* this petition, drawn up by the different tribes of our rue, and declaring that we shall separate from our Padishah, has been entrusted to 360 delegates. Now, aceordlng to the maxima that all things return to their source, we have turned towards your Imps. rial Majesty, and while we kiss the dust under your feet, we adjure you to order that we be placed for ever under the majestic shadow of your Imperial throne."

The following telegraphic despatch, received to. day, has produced a great sensation in Paris: Brussels, 7th, Evening. In the Chamber of Represent .tisea t)-day, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply to iota rpt Hatton. addressed to hien, stated that the speech delivered by Count Walewski in the si Unit of the Congress of the Bth ult., had not yt t been officially notified to the Belgian government. When that notification should have been made, the government, he said, had a reply ready which w3uld energetically maintain the rights of Belgium u an independent nation. "No power," added the minister, " hts ever claimed any modifi eation of the law on the pries in Belgium, and the country submit to such a pretension—never!" This declaration was received with immense ent►esiaam; sp ittines lose from every bench, and from the tribalism, which were filled with .pictatore. The chamber rase immediately atm. The government journals have received orders not to publish the text of the above despatch. They all in a paragraph, evidently communicated, notice shortly the contents, omitting all that is emphatic, and say they shall wait for a textual report before they make any remarks upon the subject. In anticipation, doubtless, of what was about to take piece in Belgium, the Constieutionnel has been instructed to back out to some extent of the preten alone put forward by Count Walewski. It feigns great astonishment at the misconstruction that has been universally put upon the celebrated sally of the French plenipotentiary, recorded in the 22nd pro- tocol, and protests that all that Count Walewski ever meant was to deprecate the right of a foreign press to advocate the assassination of his sovereign. It is very difficult to believe that journals in Belgium can be in the "daily habit" of doing this, and yet the Pays only yesterday affirmed that the "excesses complained of " assume more monstrous proportions every day. The Seek comments on the above subject with much good sense in 'Ate following terms: For oar own part, we are unab'e to judge ct the extent to which the cowl hints of the Pays ere founded, from the foot that the incriminated journals do not enter Franco, and are consequently unknown to us. Ws need not add that we disapprove of the savage doctrines alluded to by the Pays, but at the saws time we opine that the faults com mitted by the press, which turn against their authors, should not serve as a pretext for measures which, directed against abuses, only too often extend to the liberty of die suasion, the vital strength of existing governments. We have often been told that thew joarnals calumniate ns; we have pitied them witt•out being inspired with the slightest desire to peruse their I:entente. The Pays announces that General Edgar Ney has already left for St. Petersburg, and that he is charged to present to the Emperor Alexander 11. the answer to his letter informing the Emperor Napoleon of his accession to the throne. Count de Moray, according to the same authority, will leave Paris about the 15th of Jane, to represent France at the coronation of the Czar. In answer to various paragraphs in foreign journals, giving lists of the personnel of Count de Morny's suite, the Pays says that nothing has yet been decided on this head. Although in a contra dictory humour, the Pays does not deny the truth of the reports of the immense sum of money to be given to M. de Morny to represent France appropriately at the Russian coronation, nor of the unparalleled magnificence of the carriages now build ing for him in Paris. It, however, contradicts in a lump all the news given by foreign journals relative I t o the consulates to be established on the coast of the Black Bea, affirming that nothing is yet settled even as to the towns where consuls will be stationed, much less as to the persons to be appointed. " Continuing in the same order of ideas" (to use a diplomatic ex. pension) the Pays says that, although the announce meat that Prince Dolgoronki will be the new Ras. aian ambassador at Paris is not improbable, nothing has yet happened to confirm the news. The Archduke Maximilian, of Austria, will, it is said to-day, arrive in Paris on the 14th. The gene ral who accompanies him is cousin-german to the Queen of England, so at least the Pays says. Prince Oscar, of Sweden, will a rive on the 18th. Baron de Hubner has been promoted by the court of Austria to the rank of Ambassador, instead of Minister Plenipotentiary. The Havre journals state that Prince Napolsoe will go on his minion to the:north In a few days, and repeat the rumour that he is to escort the Queen of Sweden to Paris, which has lately been doubted in certain quarters. At the Bourse the Rents opened with some heavi. ness, owing to a Ml of } in Consols, but isuberquently, on the strength of a report that there is a great increase of bullion in the Bank of France, there was an improvement, and the closing prices, 74fr. 90c. for cash, and 7Mr. 40c. for account, were sc. and 10c. higher than yeatetday. Credit Mobilise wu again in great demand, and rose 25fr. I am informed that M. Periere has signed a treaty with MM. Stieglitz, the great Rue. situ bankers, for the establishment of a Cre• dit Mobilier Society at St. Petersburg. It la confirmed that • Credit Mobilier will also be very shortly set up at Constantinople. Most of the rail• ways gave way. Some lines, however, were very firm at the close, and Orleans rose 23fr. in a few minutes. The Press* of Paris and two minor journals, the Verite and the Vol: de la Verite were all convicted yesterday of the crime of having copied from the Independance Beige, a paragraph which, as the court holds, amounts to a report of the proceedings of the Senate, contrary to the imperial decree in such case made and provided, according to which the debates lin the Senate are to be kept profoundly secret. The defence was of the nature of that oelebrated one set up before a country bench in an affiliation case--" it was such a very little °Da" In fact the paragraph was nothing but a short sum• mary of the report of a senatorial commissioner and of the discussion that ensued theron. Not even the names of the speakers were given. Still the court felt bound by the text of the imperial decree to con• riot. It however only sentenced the editors of the journals incriminated to 60h. and the coots. I
