Wsuravaa Sir Owing Bsovnt opens his mouth the public listens with all its ears, certain that the pliant General will be delivered of some amusing absurdity. This expeotmion has been amply gratified by Sir Grottos's speech at the Elgin dinner. He assured his hearers that "it would be so difficult mat ter to show, that for every movement which has beet made by the Eastern army there has been a good reason." The examples by which Sir Grown pro. coaled to corroborat; this omission. suggest • curious idea of what mast appear to be a " good reason" to his mind, lie ausouuts for the time that was wasted benne the Allied Armies advanced to Varna, by stating that " the troops were sent oat without any upecific plea of operations." In other words, the Allied Governments, if we may behave Sir GEORGE Bitows, .seat armies to the East before they had made up their naiads as to what these armies were to do there, sad the Generals in command of thew armies so °opted of the charge to do anything or nothing. Sir Gacutoa went on to assign his "good reasons" for the army's not going to the Crimea earlier is the season. The first of these reasons is, that " Omit Eacna'ti army of 60.000 men could not be left to the teader mercies of 160,000 of the enemy." Bat, un fortunately for Sir GEORGE, OMER PACHA'S army was left to these tender mercies, for anything that the Allies did to relieve them. It was Oats Paean that beat the Russians on the Danube—" aloes he did it ;" for the Allies did not even make a demon stration of moving to his assistance. The second "good reason" assigned by Sir GEORGE BROWN for the late period of the year at whisk the Crimean expedition was undertaken is that "we had gone out with no specific plan of campaign, ODD sequently the campaign of the Crimea was never heard of by the army till July." It is but a sorry defence of those who bad the management of the war to say that after having plunged into it with no dis tinct plan of operations in view, they continued in the same irresolute, puzzled, and perplexed state of mind until the best part of the year had rose by. But Sir GEORGE had to account for the further time lost between July and September, when the expedi tion actually set sail. This he did by asserting that they " knew nothing of the ground at all," and " the Admirals had no flat-bottomed boats." As excellent reason for the mode in which the expedition was carried out, certainly : those who had the management of it did not take the trouble to reconnoitre the ground before hand, or to provide themselves with the kind of boats necessary to effect a landing. We will trouble our readers with only ore more of Sir GEORGE BROWN'S "good reasons." He accounts for the Allied Armies allowing themselves to remain so long cooped up on the west side of the Tchertaya—at once be sieging and besieged—by naively confessing that until the town war taken, they were unable to fight on open ground—in fact, " were tied by the leg." But if so, it was the Allied Commanders who tied the leg of their army, as the gifted man in the old fairy 'tale of "Fortunio” was accustomed to tie up his legs, to prevent him from running too fast and over- running his game. Could we persuade ournelves that the "good reasons" which Sir Gismos BROWN has assigned for "every movement which has been made by the Eastern army," were those which really influenced the Allied Governments and their Com manders, we should say that a more incompetent set of bunglers never undertook a great enterprise. We are not however so unjust as to hold any person responsible for the nonsense spoken by Sir Gismos BROWN but Sir GEOZOE BROWN himself. And we do not think that we should have given ourselves the trouble to expose the inanity of his twaddle bat for the offensively insolent manner in which he has, sines his return from the East, repeatedly taken upon him to speak of all who have ventured to 'skids' the general conduct of the war. At Elgin, indeed, he abstained from the silly and vulgar abase of the press in which he has indulged on other ocessione but he attempted to be witty at the expense of those who—so be alleged—" fancy they know other people's business better than themselves." Hs tried to raise a laugh by asserting that " we have had more great generals and admirals at the clubs and coffee-houses than we had in the army or navy." Sir °tows wilfully ignored the fact that a large proportion of the critics of the management of the war has been made up of military and naval men. He affected to be unaware that the nepotism and favouritism which prevail at the Admiralty and the Horse Guards have often led to incompetent mea being seat out, while those who were better able to serve their country have been left to rust in in action. Bat waving this consideration, it ill became one who is so indignant at non-profeesionaleridcism, to give a decided opinion on a question which can best be solved by medical men and naturalise. Sir Cisoaos denied that the sitnation selected for the encampment at Varna was unhealthy. "We had the most beautiful ground you can imagies It was like the finest English park, with the finest water you could wish." Fair it might be to the eye, and yet unhealthy. And medical men on the spot hav ing concurred in attributing the diatom prevalent in the army to the site of encampment, has not Sir GEORGE, in contradicting them, in curred the censure he has himself expressed against those who " tansy they know other people's business better than themselves?" Sir Grown, too, ought to have recollected that there is a letter of Ones Eames in existence, in which he warned our Go vernment that the locality selected for the Varna en campment was unhealthy. Bat Sir GROROR bee convenient memory, which retains only that via& suits his own purpose. Hs has also a knack of foie tifying his hearers by a kind of verbal leger demain. When he undertook to prove that a good reason could be assigned for every movement made by the army of the East, he led his hearers to believe that these good reasons influenced the determinations of those who directed the movements of the army. Bat when be alleged in extenuation of the late mean of the year at which the Crimean expedition set sail from Varna, that "the attack on the Crimea was never beard of by the army till July," he spoke of the army exclusive of those who directed its movements. Then is no doubt en immense deal of stupid blunder ing in Sir °Boson's apologetic orations, but there is also not a little of premeditated insincerity and 'maks. firsessmed madams to b. well filled, beefiness is Web, sad the patent Ms fat to be the soot Amara& mem kr sone pen. gut Court.

The late commander of the find corps d'armee, General Paniatine, has been definitively appointed Commander-in•Chiet of the Army of the Centre at Kiel. POSITION OP THE RUSSIAN ARMY. The Nord of yesterday thus converts the taking of Sebastopol into a Russian victory. It says: "The triumph of the Allied armies is more appa rent than real; and, comparing the situation before and after the 9th of September, it must be inter preted in the inverse ratio of the victory—that is to say—to the advantage of the Russian army. The crossing to the north side had been foreseen, and was in preparation for a long time. Russia had done enough to satisfy her military honour in contesting Sebastopol for a whole year ; but fighting fora pria ciple, she was not called upon to continue the contest for a heap of ruins. By crossing to the north side the Russian forces are concentrated, resting to the right on formidable fortifications, which have been raised in that direction, and having the Mackenzie defiles on their left. The Russian army, therefore, holds the Allies shut up in the plateau of Balaklava sad Sebastopol. There, in a more imposing and stronger position than before, it can await the attacks of the Allies. By this mancenvre Prince Gortchakoff has doubled his army—in a strategic point of view, because, with his forms concentrated, he has com plete liberty of movement—in a tactical point of view, from the superiority of his position, which is beyond the range of the siege guns of the Allies, and at the same time enables him to use his own field artillery with greater advantage than the Allies can Ogre." AUSTRIAN MEDIATION. The Paris oortespondent of the Isdepeadance Beige has the following, the correctness of which, be says, he can almost guarantee :—" At a conference which took place some days ago between Prince Gortcha koff and Count Rue!, in the cabinet of the latter, the Prince made overtures and threw out hints of great importance. He left it to be understood that Russia was quite disposed to come to an arrangement through the mediation of Austria, in which case she (Russia) should place in the hands of Austria the sum of the conditions which she would ousint to make, leaving it to Austria to present them, to put them into shape, and to weigh them. It wu quite a confidential mission which Russia was giving to Austria. Count Buol listened to the end, and when the Prince had quite concluded, replied, that if he was anxious for a mediator he knocked at the wrong address in coming to Vienna; that he ought to call at Berlin, where no engagement had been entered into." TEE CRIMEA. Yesterday's Debate e.ontains the following notes on the present occupation of the allied army, from the pen of Colonel St. Ange : "It has been asked if the Allies will have to undertake, now or later, the siege of the forts on the north side. There appears no absolute necessity foe so doing. That would be binding ourselves down again to labours slow and painful as those which have occupied us so long, and cost us so many efforts, so many men, and so much money. The key to those forts is in tact a victory over the Russian army in the Crimea; then they would fall of themselves, seeing that they must be instantly abandoned. Or, if the Russians chose to retain them still, a blockade and famine will compel them to surrender; and this is a humiliation that Russia's pride dreads more than all the rest. The forts of the north side can consequently neither prevent our occupation of Sebastopol, nor can they thwart our operations is the interior of the Crimea, on account of their eccentric situation. We should not be surprised at their being blown op so soon as the Russian army is compelled to retreat from the neighbourhood of Sebastopol. "The respective position of the two armies remains the same, and will do so until one of the two shall take the initiative of a movement that will force the other to manoeuvre in its turn. For the present, the allied army holds its strong positions on the Toher naya, on the Fedukhioe mountains, on Mount Saponee, and the table-land of Sebastopol, until the occupation of the town shall have been properly arranged, and its chief defences thoroughly repaired. It does not appear to have anything else to do at present. " The Russian army, for its part, occupies the excel lent positions of Mackenzie, strongly entrenched and lined with redoubts like oar own. On both sides the capability exists of receiving the attack with chances tolerably equal of serious resistance and success, and with the equal risk of losing a great many men. The Russians will probably continue in observation before us within their strong positions until the allied army gives signs of some movement. But what will that movement be ? Shall we venture to attack is front the Mackenzie heights, where the road from Bimpheropol winds along? Shall we penetrate into the heart of the Crimea by another route ? If so, by what route, and when ? All these are premature questions. Let us avoid tracing out imaginary plans of campaign. Rather let us permit time to develop the events, or if our imagination mast seeds outstrip facts, the field of conjecture is open." TELEGRAPHIC COURTZSIES.— Oetterale Pelissier and Le Valliant, the Minister of War, are schoolfellow', and 1 bays always been each dose and intimate friends, that they swop, seek other. The telegraphic essamuniostions be tween them during the siege were of a very amusing cha racter. Oa one osessitre, Yelissier, being a little trend, answered, " Ta seouttB , e." The Emperor wee very anzioas that somethieg should be undertaken on the 18th of Jane, and Le telegraphed to that effect. Pelissier answered "Impossible !" The reply was, " L'Empereur dit cm% s'y a Asa riaspossible." Mosier rejoined, " Meese done le faint lalindete." The Emperor leached heartily at the reply.

OWN 001 OWN PARIS, FRIDAY Branum. You will have observed that the ifoniteur, in its report of the address to the Emperor of the Arch bishop of Paris, omits the particularly interesting paragraph which I sent you yesterday by a tele graphic despatch. This paragraph is, however, reproduced, word for word, by the Pays and the Constitutionnel, and there le not the least doubt that the Archbishop really need the words stated. I have heard it suggested that recog nised rules of etiquette prevent the Monacor from alluding to the pregnancy of the Empress until the fifth month is accomplished. Bat it is curious that the Archbishop should on so solemn an occasion have pronounced a speech which cannot be officially published, more especially as according to all usage the speech mast have been submitted to government beforehand. Neither the Press* nor the Pottle take any notice of the version given by the morning semi official prints, which must be considered as repu diated as much u the celebrated phrase " great man," in the recent cue of the audience to the Turkish am benador. The Coratitutionnel thinks it may state that France has to deplore the loss of five, generals killed in the taking of Sebastopol, and that six were wounded. The names of the killed are, on this authority, mid to be Generals Saint-Pol, Breton, bisrollee, Rivet (chief of the staff of the first corps), and Pondered, who has died of his wounds. The generals wounded are, besides General Boequet, Generals Mellinet, of the Imperial Guard, Lamottrouge, Conston, Bison, and Troohu. General de Failly is not among the wounded, as had been rumoured. It is said that General Bosquet was wounded on the Bth by a frag ment of a shell, while encouraging the troops . by his example. The following important observation appear in the Pays : The taking of Sebastopol marks the commencement of a new period in oar military operations. Oar army has hi therto had a triple task to perform. Ist. To work at the trenches; tad. to repulse the sorties of the besieged ; and 3rd. to defend the line of the Tchernsya. In fact:we have had in the Crimea two armies, one is carry on the siege properly so stalled, end the other to protect the first. One I a rmy will, now be mutilation% to follow up the enemy and sham him in the open field. Our siege materials and the enormous quantity of ammunition necessary to feed it, are now not wanted, and they will probably be re shipped, unless circumstances should lead u to besiege the northern forts. Bat at present nothing leads to the supposition that we shall be fused to take this muse ; and in any case the operation may be effected with mach smaller means than were required to besiege Sebastopol, and to defend our en trenched camp at the same time. It is remarked that at the Te Down, yesterday, the Ministers of Austria and Prussia were both pre sent, but those of Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg were absent. No political inferences, however, one way or another, can be legitimately drawn, either from the presence at, or absence from, the ceremony of the different Foreign Ministers enumerated. It would be as absurd to suppose the representatives of Belgium, Sweden, or Denmark purposely kept away from Notre Dame, in order to make a hostile demonstration, as it would be to admit that Prussia is friendly, or Austria sin cere, because their ambassadors went to the church and illuminated their houses afterwards. We read in the Prase: The little squadron which England has sent to the bay of Naples has the privilege of occupying the press almost as much as the news from Sebastopol, and the great question naturally is to know whether the French government is associated in this demonstratioo. The Unsure positively affirms the contrary, and the Gault* de FriM6oo intimates that it would be too happy to feel as confident on the sub ject as the Unseen does. It is certainly possible that Eat land may be taking an isolated part in this matter, but it is very uniikely. We will not go so far as to say with the Add petulance Belgv,that since an English squadron is on its way to Naples "the proximate arrival of a French squadron in the sass waters is inevitable." But it is certainly not too much to prestime on the Anglo-French alliance, to believe that the Freadi Government has been informed of the expedition, and even consulted about it. The Gamete object. that the ethane* was made simply with a view to the war in the East, that England is an island and France a continental power, that England is Protestant and Franco Catnolio, and finally that "The throne of Naples stands upon a volcano more dangerous than that of Vesnvias." These objections see weak. In this affair there is no question about is ands et continents, ayebeta stated as ortatrlirgiosis cor rec t, e or vol v tianyody mastnotlf the filotttswhis that the Two Sicilies has given just reason for complaint to France, as well as to England. That is the whole question. It is reported that 25,000 men have embarked at lealalava for the north of Sebastopol. This news appears to be highly probable. " The Emperor," says a letter front Bt. Omer," b daily expected here to review a brigade which is tie' set out shortly for Rome." A solemn service of thanksgiving for the capture at Sebastopol was celebrated yesterday in all the Jewish synagogues. At the Bourn to-day there has been a great decline in every description of securities. Credit Mobilise tell to the enormous extent of 115 fr. The refusal of the government at the last moment to sanction the issue of the large amount of obligations which this society proposed to put forth is naturally calculated to shake confidence in the management of the establishment. Instead of 240,000 obligations the society is only lauthorised to create half that number. The sta tutes have been revised by authority, sad it is understood that no new obligations are to be created in future without the express sanction of the govern ment. The brokers charged enormous sums for car rying over this security to-day, and many orders to sell at any price could not be executed. The Rent, fell 800., closing at 66f. 80c.

' Sinai the commencement of the war, Russian arrivals in the Eternal City, which were previously reckoned on by the multifarious tribe who live on foreigners, as their best resource after the English, are now indeed " like angels' visits—few and far between." Last week, however, two Russian gees, tele passed through Rome en route for Naples, sad thread time to visit the lions, and to spend money is the studios also, the war contributions apparently not having as yet exhausted their finances. They purchased a fine statue of Eve by Benzoni, end ordered another Eve (they are evidently admirers of I the terrestrial paradise) of Gajassi. It is shrewdly surmised that it is not merely to cultivate the fine arts that these gentlemen have got permission to visit Italy, when there is so much for men of their probs. don to do at home, but that political conferences I with the Pope and the Bourbonic sovereign of Naples, and arrangements for a future line of action in the Italian peninsula, are doubtless the real objects d their mission. It appears that the last-mentioned potentate w. riously contemplates fortifying himself against any coup de main on the part of the Allies, in ease of a rupture, by admitting a body of Austrian troop within Lis territories. An Imperial Commissary by been recently visiting the frontier city of Asoo li, which would be on the line of march from the Lep. Lions, through La Maros, to the Neapolitan protium of Aquila, to see what supplies of provisions sad forage can be depended on for the Austrian forme to be detached in support of King Bomba's throne. Another Austrian envoy, Count Esterhazy,brother of the charge d'affaires at this court, who is now et Paris on leave of absence, arrived in Rome at the be. ginning of last week, and had an interview with the Pops and Cardinal Antonelli, after which he est oat again for Naples immediately. M. ?demotes, the Spanish chargé d'Affaires, who remained in charge of the embassy on the coati* of M. Pacheco's mission, left Rome yesterday, thus ' potting an end to the representation of Spain at this court. The next sale of the Ambassador's effects takes place on the 12th. Satisfactory accounts have been received by Carat Montevecchio, who resides here, of the health of hie brother, who wee so severely wounded at the battled the Tohernays. The General is a native of Fins is the province of Ls Marc., and therefore a subject d his Holiness, although in the service of Piedmont The religions corporations are in an ill-hossom with the Pope, because he insists on their investing their 'commutating money in government secant* and shares of the salt and tobacco monopoly, rather than in more landed property. As a temporary sovereign, Pio Nono is, doubtless, right to eadeavour to prevent his dominions from gradually becoming one vast mortmain estate, but, as the head of the church he is hardly protecting ecclesiastical into:ate when he compels wealthy confraternities to prefer fluctuating scrip to fat glebe lands and broad-speed. jag lati-fonds: A society of amateur chorus-singers lately proposed giving a vocal entertainment, under the patronagerf the French General, at the Colosseum; but the Pops absolutely refused his permission, whether on account of the consecrated nature of the edifice, or through fee of any disturbance taking place, is not known. The choruses are to be executed in the privileged Ine. elects of the French Academy, at the Villa Medias instead. ... The Government is in a continual state of In& pinion and alarm, in the present condition of Euro. pean affairs. The Pope inquired recently of the Minister of Arms, General Farina, whether thorough reliance could be placed in the Roman army, to which, of course, the Minister replied in the affirmative. Exchange on London, 468. Roman Consols, HI: The French steamer Chaptel, 2 guns and 150 men, arrived at Civita Vecchia, on the 6th, with 200 soldiers to reinforce the garrison of Rome, and take the place of those who lately volunteered for service in the the Crimea, and have been waiting some taus at Civita Vecchia for embarkation. They wiU noW proceed directly on board the Chaptal. The Piemonte of the 11th inst. states that ths Neapolitan Government has offered the most humble apology for its conduct to Mr. Fagan. The same paper atates that the affair of the Sardi• nian Legation in Tuscany had not yet been arranged' notwithstanding pressing notes from the French and English Ambassadors. The Duchess of Genoa has sent I,ooof. to the committee for the Piedmontese army in the Crimes.
