General WILLIAMS'S mission partook more of a poli tical than a military character. His reports were banimitted to the Arabaessdor at Content's's*, aot to the --.......5ger.u5-Chief, sad forwarded to the Fereign-oMeo, not to the SICISTAIIT of WAR. 0.. seral Wthuthis and his Staff wings the service not of the Turkish, but the Beglish Government ; and upon the English Government devolved the duty of stria, for their preservation. It is from the English Goverauseat that an account will be densaoded of the reasons why six loog months were allowed to elapse without one 'Motive struggle being made to relieve them. If there is one Englishman doom's( of the name in the Parliament of Ragbag this question will be put to Ministers on the 31st of January—on the very fleet day of the melon. An evening contemporary, which is emessionally charged with (or takes upon itself) the diMoult teak of palliating ministerial short-oominge, says with reference to the maps of General LINTY :—" We confess that the escape of the brave Hungarian, who for two years has done his duty as • soldisr so ably on the frontier of Turkish Armenia, is very gratify ing. He had every inducement to get away. Had he been captured, it is not improbable that be would have found his way into an Austrian prison. General Bum Barred too conspicuously I. Hungary, in 1848 49, to be forgotten.' The Turkish authorities and the English odious is Ears knew this, and when it was found necessary to capi tulate they took measures to prevent General Litirrr's felling into the hands of the Russians, and being delivered up to the Austrians. Bat what have the English Government done is the parallel ease of Colonel Tuna P That " brave Haogsrian," who "served too conspicuously in Italy in 1848-49 to be forgotten," was sent by the English authorities in the Bast on a mission which brought him within the reach of the Austrians. He was seised by the Austrians, and hes " found his way into an Austrian prima." What have the Ear limb Government done to rescue Colonel Toga from the perilous position in which he has bee, placed by the act of their own accredited agents P According to a statement transmitted to us from a trustworthy source is the north of Italy, and as yet aneontradicted, they ant to Turin to ask of the political police what were the antecedents of Colonel Tina. What had they to do with the antecedents of a man whom they had employed and placed in peril, and whom they had it in their power to relieve ? The arrest of Colonel TV= by Austrisa soldiers, in a foreign territory, was a iron violation of the laws of nations. About the time he was arrested some deserters from the British navy had found their way to a neutral German port. The English admiral did not land a force to seine upon them by his own authority. He applied through the British Con sul to the local authorities, and they, after dos inquiry, arrested and delivered up the men. The limited extent of Count Coaorthfs authority in the dad- Woos of the SULTAN was to &nand from the loud authorities, through the intimation of the Austrian Coosa], the extradition of the man whom he these, to call a deserter. In that case, Colonel Tuna could have called for the protection of the Comsat of the nation under whose banes: he was serving; and as it could easily have been proved that he was not a deserter, bat a polities' els* the same answer would have been made to the Austrians that was made to them when they demanded the extsadi tion of BEM, KOSSUTH, and the other heroes of the Hungarian revolution. It is act for the organs of an English Government which has se shamefully shrunk from the assertion of justice to prate about gratitioatios at the escape of General MONTT. If a hair of Colonel Tulsa's had is allowed to fall to the ground, indelible disgrace will attach to the existing English Cabinet. BT. PAUL AND ST. BAINANAIL—DLLIIIIIINOTC...

It was a 'lever sonabinatiom ea the part of the Bastian generale, but it ruined them, because Napo leon maimed to turn it against themselves. In the Polish campaign of 1807, Napoleos, after occupying Wittaw, had seat his army into winter quarters ea the right beak of the Vistula, and the Russian army was cantoned towards Baste= Prussia. Daring the latter days of January. this arms, oollectthg all its forces, marched on the Lower Vistula, in the hope of cutting off and vanquishing is their (autcasseste the various seeps form's' the left slug of the French. Napolara hastened to parry this danger by promptly rioneentrating his army, and from these impective movements a conflict ensued, which was the battle of Byline.
