The Earl of Clarendon has received a despatch from Major-General Williams, K.C.8., her Majesty'e, Com missioner attached to the Turkish Army in Asia, of which the following is a copy : ars, ct. 31. My Lord,—ln my despatch o f t h e 3d in K stant O , in which I had the honour to detail the movements of the battle on the heights of Kars, I omitted to slate that the enemy in his retreat left a tumbril on the field. I have now great pleasure in stating for your lord ship's information that immediately after the battle, his Excellency the Mushir, in virtue of the authority with which he is invested by the Sultan, conferred the second class of the Imperial Order of the Medjidie on Lieute nant-Colonel Lake for his distinguished services on that day. On Major Teesdale, Captain Thompson, Mr. Churchill, and Dr. Saudwith, his Excellency conferred the third class of that order, to mark his sense o f t h e i r conduct and gallantry ; a n d on Messrs. Zehrab and Rennison he bestoged the fourth class. As these decorations were received in view of the position which their courage and conduct so materially assisted in defending, I trust that your lordship will obtain for these officers and gentlemen her Majesty's gracious permission to accept and wear them. His Excellency the Mushir has also named Colonel Lake a General of Brigade in the Turkish army; Major Teesdale a Lieutenat-Colonel, and C...ptain Thompson a Major in that army ; and his Excellency assures me that he has written for the confirmation of these ranks, so honourably won on the battle-field by the officers in question.—l have, &c., (Sivne.d) W.

Spirit of the Public Jounals. TREASON IN THE CAMP. (Prom the Morning A dvertiser of this day.) Though at present there is no loud expression of public discontent at the mode in which the war is being carried en, it is impossible not to observe that the public mind is fix from being assured of 1 --- the good faith of those who have the direction of z' l, affairs. We do not mean to say that Lord Palmer ston is playing false with the country. We believe, on the contrary, that, as far as he has the power, 13. i he is zealously and sincerely endeavouring to main tain its honour, and so to carry on the war as to 31 hasten the period of a satisfactory and durable peace. But we are by no means sa ti s fi e d t h a t he 27! possesses that power which of right ho ought to 22 possess. On the contrary, we believe that, while 21; he alone appears before the country as the director of its fortunes, the Royal Councils are swayed by 4 4 ' men in whom the country has no confidence, but tot are justly regarded by it with somethi ng " more th an suspicion. , The selection of a popular Minister like Lord 20 Palmerston to stand forth to the world as the Pre- 20 mier, while the Government is really influenced by 18 others, was a stroke of policy which might, for its £0 depth of craft, have been suggested by the Court 50 of St. Petersburg. But honesty is the best policy 25 in the end. The obstinacy of the enemy, who re fused at Vienna such terms of pacification as he is 1 ( t ) . not likely to be offered again, and the progress of st. success ever since then, have averted the storm of dt, public indignation which would have burst on those A 5 who were seeking to betray their country, and who 25 would have betrayed it, had Russia not despised !t,.' their assistance. From the c on t emp t w hi c h has '0"" overwhelmed their tool—the N o bl e M em b er for 3t. London—let them learn what is in store for them- IC selves, whenever occasion is ripe. 50 Who aro the really war Ministers who fill, or zo wait in expectation of filling, the high places in T o the Government ? On which of them can we de- s t . pond ? From a Michael in arms Lord John has F , t. sunk to the condition of an itinerant lecturer, Si. seeking to turn into political capital the prejudices of the day. Sir James Graham, Mr. Gladstone, 4 . Sidney Herbert, and several o th ers , h ave o pen l y deserted the colours under which they led us to .2 battle. Who was there, in that hour, in the Cabi net or out of it, sincere enough to tell the people 41 how grossly Government was betraying their in- i t. terests and squandering their resources ? Who 3 told them that their army was ill officered, ill ,;0 commanded, ill cared for ? While the sapient pub- ZIA lic were up in arms about some trifling barbarities 3 t• 4 of uniform, dear t o th e mart i ne t, G overnment was iob committing the fate o f our on ly arm y t o a man 10 who had only seen half a year's service, and even 12 1 that in the character of a secretary, not of a sol dier. Who was there, then, to warn us that under 'so the administration of a civilian England was send Zb - ing out the greatest fleet that had ever left her 25 shores in a condition which rendered success im- 3t. possible ? What can we think of the sincerity of 25 the men who have been conducting our affairs, 11 2 p when we see they have done so little, and yet, with i st. ° the excepti on o f Sebastopol, have done all they st. have unde r t a k en so easily ? 50 In all their operations in the Sea of Azoff they 25 lost not a man. How easily was the capture of 100 Bomarsund effected. How almost bloodless the g r , bombardment of Sweaborg. What had they to do ' 2 ,5 at Fanagoria, and Taman, or at Kinbourn, or Ta ganrog ? Why were none of these feats attempted, except the taking of Bomarsund, till millions had been -squandered ? In every one of them the Rus sians suffered in men, in materiel, and in supplies, to an immense extent. Had those losses been in flicted earlier, our loss would have been less, and our triumph the more speedy and signal. Those successes prove how much might have been done had the Admiralty choSen. But even experi ence has taught them in vain. They refused to learn. They saw last year that nothing could be done without gun-boats or rafts, yet this year they seat very few of the former into the Baltic, and none of the latter, though the experiment of " Lady Nancy," at Taganrog, had been perfectly successful. Are preparations now being made to remedy these shortcomings, and to give the British navy a chance of doing something next year, worthy of its antecedents ? If we have really em barked in this war in a spirit of chivalry ; if we are really determined to fight the battle of civilisation and freedom against the despot of the North, let us do it in a manner worthy of the cause. The present war has most fully proved that Russia ever will be the curse of Europe and of Asia until so totally crippled as to be compelled to abandon that system which she has incessantly,'and by every means overt and covert, pursued now a hundred and fifty years. The ambition of some nation or individual has for centuries made Europe a vast camp, but the diminution of agriculture, and by actual devastations, causing famines, and compell ing the nations, instead of employing their re sources in internal improvements, to waste them in warfare, and burden themselves now with enor mous debt, now with bankruptcy, in supporting standing armies and fleets which have deluged half the world with human blood. At this moment is it Russia who—by the help of her friends in Eng land—is discharging this amiable duty to mankind, at a time when the friends of human progress were congratulating themselves on the hope that this overwhelming evil had worn itself out. Whatever our opinions are as to the present Government of France, it. cannot be denied, for already it has, in part, been proved, that the Emperor of the French has, as he himself declares, a destiny to fulfil. No man ever had a nobler one, and British traitors alone can prevent its fulfilment. Before he had been long elevated to the supreme rule of France he began to reduce its army. Sixty thousand men were restored to the avocations of peace. There was then throughout Europe a desire to follow that excellent example. Russia alone insisted on main taining her nominal 800,000 men under arms ; not, indeed, that she really had that number, but she could, without awakening the suspicion of other nations, fill up her regiments to that standard, and too pounce on any defenceless neighbour, the acquisition of whose territory might conduce to th e po li cy of WO Peter, Catherine, and Nicholas. What destiny, 20 that contemplates the benefit of mankind, can be ac- 5 complished, while a nation, animated by so devour- 6 ing an ambitimi t has the power to give effect to its 5 desire by engaging in war for their accomplish- 10 merit ? z 0 !O to 10 5 5 2() 10 20 5 18 Let Russia be so completeiy crushed asto be com polled to abandon for ever her systematic encroach- merit on adjacent nations. Let h er b e ren d ered 20j powerless for any mis ion but the b enevo l ent an d Lou much-needed one of endeavouring to instil some principles of integrity and virtue into her demoral- PO ised aristocracy, and sowing song© seeds of civilisa- 600 tion amongst her barbarous people. Then, if th e mission of Louis Napoleon contemplates the estab• lishment of constitutional liberty amongst the peo ple he has saved from anarchy, ho will have an op portunity of layingaside the dictatorial power which, in the first instance, was undoubtedly necessary, but which can never permanently consist with the happiness, the dignity, and prosperity of a nation, any more than it can consist with its freedom. Then the alliance of the Western Powers, which attracts to itself the admiration of the world, and to which mankind looks up as to the bulwark of their liberties and the ground of their hopes, will no longer depend on the life of one man, but will exist by similarity of institutions and an indentity of feeling and interests, a bulwark against aggres- 10 sion, an example of the blessings of constitutional 20 rule, and a guarantee of peace. 10 What traitor shall dare to stand in the way of 20 this blessed consummation, which is equally the interest of all, and which alone can render existing 20 institutions safe and stable. Should, however, 1 0 treachery at home or in Germany keep Russian 20 ambition alive, the first victims will assuredly be 20 thirty German tyrants already detested by their people, whom the burde n o f standing armies fill 20 ' T reduce to beggary, rende r hostile to monarchical 10 Governments, and finally subject them either to 20 the slavery of Cossack spoliation, or to the con vulsions of Democracy, Anaray, and socialism. 20 9.0 16 20 :0 [ADVERTISPNENT.I—It is with pleasure we notice the daily in,rense of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow ing ; —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct. 31, 1818.— Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention. When I began taking the Itevalenta 1 was in as deplorable a condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed, and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and being compelled to have recourse to, aperients every s. cond or third day; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice. There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right 100 car, that when I turned my head on the pillow it resembled 100 the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I 100 had it pain and rort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat, 20 and a slight cough; but the pain around my loins was so 20 great that I could not remain in the same position for ten minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed 20 to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about tiiree 50 inches from the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry's 10C Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in water and 50 salt ; and iu less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly 100 improved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished 100 .bat- I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind 20 since. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, and 50 less like a drunken man, &c.—JouN VASS, Land-steward.- 20 In canisters, 11b. 2s. 21b. 4s. 6d.; 511% lbs. ; 121 b. 22e. 25 The 121 b,, carriage free, on receipt of Post-office order.
