AI Id so Lord ABERDEEN is to have the vacant Blue Riband ! The " dear and excellent" States man— -" the friend of forty years' standing " of the En speror NICHOLAS, is to receive the highest honour in the power of his SOVEREIGN to bestow —an h ononr coveted not only by the most dis tinguish ed subjects of the British Crown, but even by ► independent Sovereigns. The services must, in deed, have been highly meritorious that require o r can even be recognised by so great an aeknowle , igment. The arbiter who has had to decide on , the conflicting claims—whose task has been more ► onerous and more invidious than that of PARIS, inasmuch as the candidates were far more num , wow and the pretensions more nearly balanced— must have been deeply impres se d w ith the responsibility of the duty —must have shud dered when n delivering his award. Although divesting h imself of every personal and selfish feeling, an( I determined, to the best of his ability, to I.( 'commend " the most worthy" to the favour of his SOVEREIGN, he must have hesitated when choosin g Lord ABERDEEN as tha one whom her MAJESTY should select from the mass of those who have des( awed well of their country ! The choice, howev( has been made !—the invidious task has been ( ,xecuted ! For good or for evil, GEORGE HAMII TON, Earl of ABERDEEN, has been nominated the new Knight of the Garter, and is with all convent ent speed to receive the insignia of the illustrious I order. Who, then, w, ?is the arbiter to decide on this interesting topic ? Who was the impartial and high-minded judt Te on whom devolved the grave l responsibility of a dection ? " The QUEEN can do no wrong." That is a constitutional maxim to which we yield a I 'eady and unhesitating assent. Her MAJESTY receiN 'es the advice of her Ministers, or rather of the Minister who presides over the Cabinet, and is justl, y responsible for its decisions She has been influet Iced by her Prime Minister, who virtually nomin: ttes the successful aspirant, and renders himself 1 iable to any objections that may be put forward . This Prime Minister is GEORGE HAMILTON, Ea xl of ABERDEEN !—and with extraordinary disinter( Istedness he has nominated GEORGE HAMILTON, I larl of ABERDEEN, to the coveted distinction. He had previously held many honours, without looking to those which he derived from the "accident of birth." The Peerage tells us that he i s also a " Knight of the Thistle," Lord-Lieutenai tt and Sheriff Principal of the County of Aberdee. a, Ranger of Greenwich Park, Chancellor of Kin, es College, Aberdeen, President of the British Institute, &c., &a. One might have supposed that these distinctions might have satisfied the most ambitious man. But not so ! Lord ABERDEEN migh t exclaim that— " His great revenge had at mach for them all ;" aye, and for something more, for the " LG." is henceforward to be added'. to the list, the enviable title which Lord ABItaDICRN has conferred on Lord ABERDEEN (!) to the exclusion of many really meritorious men, who had high claims to the distinction. There will, however, be more impartial judges by whom the title of the Noblo Earl to the hon our will be strictly scrutinised'. There will be men who are ready to investigate the services evidenced by so high a reward. Is it by his conduct since he has occupied the position of First Lord of the Treasury ? By involving the country in an expensive and sanguinary war which a slight exhibitio4 of determi nation in the first instance might have averted, or for the grievous mismanagement which has occurred since its commencement ? For these he might have earned honours from his " dear" friend NlCHOLAS—honours that no doubt are still in store, and which, no doubt, will be duly accorded when the " Peace at any price, or on any conditions," for which he has been labour ing, has been patched up. We shall not eavy him their possession, although we moat complain of the strange selection of the new Knight of the Garter, under the advice of the Preml:er. It may be said that the shaft has been drawn from another quiver !—that the " modesty" of Lord ABERDEEN has been spared the trial of pro posing himself—that, in fact, the selection is ascribable to another and a less constitutional in fluence ! We trust, however, that this pew phase of " Germanism" may still be wanting, that the country may have less reason to regret the nomi nation than is yet known. Although Loth ABER JAEN should—if he had any sense of shame— blush at the appointment, it would still be only disgraceful to the individual, whereas the alterna tive is one that would be deeply felt throughout the length and breadth of the land ! There is but ono fair solution of the problem ? —one mode in which the nomination would be re ceived with pleasure in place of sheer disgust. Men when retiring from office frequently rweiyo some mark of respect, some honour from their most gracious Mistress " to break the fall," to re concile them to the mortification. If this b, the true cause of the selection, we shall at once re ceive it joyously, and shall rapturously hail . the accession of GEORGE HAMILTON, Earl of ArEß deen, to the ancient order—not for the honour he confers on it, but because of his retirement ; and the appointment of another Prime Minister would be a blessing for which no price would Ile too great—not even the annihilation of the Garter itself, a n d the object of til such i earneststi n g uis h e ig b o n mp et lu iti e ri band, once o n.

Ho is so beyond doubt on moss commercial questions, and truly sorry should we be to lose him from the House of Commons, w e can afford to put up with his crotchets on foreign policy for the sake of his great economical value. The Leeds meeting, however, will rectify all the injury his name might do abroad. It will prove to all the bourgeoisie of Europe that the manufac turers and traders of this country demand the "prosecution of the War with the utmost rigour until a fair and honourable peace is ob . tamed." With hardly a dissentient voice, i n one of . the first manufacturing towns of the kingdom, after a long speech from its favourite county representative, and on tlie pas motien: t ' l hi a s principal supportersi the vast toasting THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 19, 1815, resolution in the teeth of Mr. COBDIEI'S speech. The threats of an extension of the naturally odious income tax, the terrors of a loan, and every appeal drawn from the purse, were all in vain. A few brethren of the Friends deputation to St. Peters burg, Christians who believe in the unlawfulness of any war, who would send supplications only to a conqueror threatening their own dwellings and firesides, were the sole supporters of the amend ment. Such a result of a meeting called at Mr. COBDIN'S own wish will do excellent service. It should refute all the calumnies which have some times been too freely cast on the great manufactur ing community. It is quite clear, if we may use Sir Conni CsatrnEtn's language respecting his men abroad, that at home our manufacturers " are bricks." Nicnones, for his comfort, will wen know it, and, if he really be thinking of peace, this resolution of our men of business to conquer a peace, will materially serve the purpose of peace making. Nothing would prolong the War more than the English people voting for a Vienna-made peace. As to Mr. COBDEN'S arguments, they had nothing of novelty in them, though of course his " unadorned and homely eloquence " was not wanting in some happy hits. When, for instance, he remarked that this is a War " in which we have a despot for an enemy, a despot for an ally, and a despot for a client, and that for twelve months we had been endeavouring without success to make an ally of another despot," the merit of this epigrammatic statement of his case is undoubted. But a moment's reflection shows that the merit is that of expression only. Our despotic ally is the elected of his own nation, and fights for national independence. -Our despotic client is, even by Mr. COBDEN'S confession, the unquestion ably wronged party ; the despotic Ally we would have is the pet of our Court only ; the English nation loathe Austria hardly less than Russia ; while our despotic enemy uses his despotism singly and simply to wrong and rob every neighbour— to break even the Treaty of Vienna, by absorbing Poland, and giving Cracow to the other treaty breaker, Austria, and to filch mischievous treaties by combined fraud and cunning from the " sick man," till he thought him really at his last gasp. The argument employed by Mr. COBDEN illus trated most happily the strong English sense of justice. He relied mainly on the sacrifices which our Taxpayers must prepare for. When the great Anti-Corn-Law agitator used it against the Corn-laws, it was indeed a telling one. The cheap loaf was a reason with every pater farnilias ; but, the dearness was an injustice. That was the real point of the argument. Paying an unfair tax, a mere class tax, was the strength of the plea. Could a bread-tax have been shown to be just, Englishmen would have net to uphold it to their cost, rather than to abolish it. The case was now reversed—it was the experimentum crucis. Mr. COBDEN was again arguing for immense sav ings ; but, as all his hearers felt, for unjust savings. A vast English meeting of the classes who feel an income tax and a beef tax severely, yet manfully voted for both, because demanded by justice to the oppressed. Whether to spare or to tax themselves, whether with or against a people's orator, Englishmen voted for justice. It is not for us to canvass every statement in a speech of an hour-and-a-half, its only arguments of weight were the pocket one just adverted to, and the incompetency of the war management. To the latter, the reply of course is, mend it. Our readers well know that we perfectly agree with Mr. COBDEN on the thorough exposure made by the War, as to the utter inefficiency of our aristocratic administration under any strain. The exposure is complete. We believe that just now it is the thing which makes our aristocrats sigh for peace. The nation charges the " homicide " of thousands, at Varna and in the Crimea, at the door of aristocratic office hunting, and office keep ing, and its shameless nepotism. Thousands are in their graves, and tens of thousands in England are clad in mourning for them, because proved capacity is neither noticed, encouraged, nor sought, while party and family have engrossed the salaries for which the nation ought to have had all its work done. ABERDEEN and the COBURGS will sign utterly worthless preliminaries, if they dare, the one to save places for a useless set of aristocratic brothers, nephews, cousins, and supporters ; the other to save despotism ter despots. If the War lasts men must come into office and yawning dan dies go abort their business. This, above all things, makes us fear we shall be sold. Our hope is rather in the roguery of the Czan than in the uprightness of our Cabinet. He, we have some hope, may be demented a little longer. It was somewhat absurd for Mr. COBDEN to dilate "to democrats" on the inconsistency of upholding Turkey against Russia because the governing class in the former are in a minority. Why, if Russia were polled, too, how would Finlanders, Poles, Tartars, Caucasians, Persians, and ifty smaller communities ♦ote ? Would not Musco vite Tartars be in a minority f What he stated from Lord CARLISLE of the wretched ness of the Turkish country beyond the great towns is, at least, quite as true of Russia ; let any one but read Da CIISTINIeS ad mirable work, or, among the last, the " Eng lishwoman in Russia, and they will be satisfied on this point." Mr. CoBDEr thinks the coun try was deluded with the supposition that this was a war for Polish and Circassian. freedom. The country thinks it ought to be so. It thinks these the essentials of a safe peace, but it knows that ABERDEEN and his colleagues have quite a diffe rent end in view. It only hopes they will be forced by events to do their duty. We believe that no sentence ever uttered by Lord J•RN Rue- SELL was more repugnant to the feelings of the nation he professes to act for than his declaration that we did not want to deprive Russia of any of her territories. In one sense we agree with him. The Crimea, Poland, and Circassia, are not Rus sian territory—we would restore them to their owners. But that is the reverse of the Courtly Lord's meaning. Universally admitted and pretty generally obeyed ac the maxim, " Be just before you are generous," is, it now and then happens that a kindred obligatiom, that of being just after being generous, is overlooked. Cases of distress, where much misery has been undeservedly endured, ;rarely fail, when brought to light, in finding ready uympathy and effective relief ; but it quite as .rarely happens that justice is dealt out in an vaccinate degree to the wrong-doer, more especially if, in an el eva t e d p os ition aid urging a colourable plea i n hi s d efence. The B r iti s h pu bli c i s se ld om vindi c ti ve, 'which is so far well ; but it is often natrue to its own interests in failing to award the moral reprobation it is bound to dispense. Its generosity generosity by yno means too great ; th e d e f ec t i 8 is too impulsive too tila tits is little governed by fixed principle. The natural con sequence is, that while effecting immediate goo(i, it occasionally is the cause of permanent I evil. Ti w present War furnishes us with a ease in Point. No one needs to be reminded what cruel • uffer in in the tent, the geld, and the hospital ' our glorious troops have endured. The record is in the heart of the British people. Witness the painful eagerness with which the harrowing nar ratives from the Seat of War have been perused, and the benevolent and patriotic efforts that have been made to improve the suffering soldiers' oondition. The heart of the nation is unmis takeably soind ; for, not in one quarter, nor among ono class alone, but in every quarter, and among all classes the pulse of humanity beats true to the call of duty. Englishmen in foreign lands may feel proud of their countrymen at home as the latter do of their gallant defenders abroad. Yet, with all this praiseworthy benevolence, with all this high-toned patriotism there is reason to fear that the element of justice is to a large ex tent wanting, and that the tide of suffering once stayed the desire for searching inquiry into the cause or causes of its overflow will cease. How much this is to be deprecated the reflecting reader can hardly fail to perceive, considering, as he must do, that the neglect which entails the most fearful suffering on helpless thousands, and these enti:led to the most careful consideration—the neglect that strews the shores of a foreign land with countless victims is mere than a fault—is a crime of deplorable turpitude —a, crime in whose non-recurrence the interests of humanity are deeply involved. Idle to him must appear the excuse of ignorance, wholly inefficacious as a pal liation the plea of well-meaning incompetency. Ignorance and incompetency, ordinarily evils challenging pity, he cannot but regard in a case like this as grave delinquencies, challenging retri bution. Information he does not require to be told was available, and retirement from respon sibility not only possible, but also peremptorily called for. The bitternetlt °however, of his, as of EtTS' our regret, should the af)rehensions we hare ex pressed prove well-founded, and we trust they may not, will be, not so much that great delinquents have escaped punishment, as that their evil example, owing to ill-judged or careless lenity, can hardly fail to insure future imitation. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, JAN. 18. The Earl of Cardigan and Viscount Flardinge had the honour of dining with her %iajesty yesterday.

Her Royal Highness the Countess of Trapani was, on the 7th, happily delivered at Naples of a princess, who has received the name of Maria Theresa. A STRANGE RUMOUR-GENERAL SIR DE LACY EVANS. A rumour has circulated among military circles in Paris, for the last few days, which it is difficult to believe. It is to the effect that the English Government have, by way of compliment and distinction to the gallant officer, and as a recompense for his important services in the Crimea, offered General Evans a staff appointment in India, which said staff appointment has been recently held by an officer who has never seen service in the geld. This is very strange. It is scarcely possible that such a proposition, which is little short of an insult, should be made to a veteran whose services range over space of more than half a century, &nd who has just returned, with impaired health and a shattered frame, from the horrors of the Crimean campaign. It is to be hoped that Sir De Lacy Evans has spurned such an offer with the contempt it me rited. The wish to send the general to India is under stood by malicious people here as indicative of anxiety to get an inconvenient member of the House of Commons out of the way. It is probable that some discussion will take place in Parliament on the state of our army in the Crimea, and in such case every one will be anxious to obtain information from one who must be so well aware of the facts as the gal lant General in question. In various letters from the camp the most earnest desire has been expressed to have the truth known as to the neglect, the ignorant assump tion, and incompetence of those who, for its misfortune, are at the head of that army ; and I can safely and that the utmost reliance is placed en General Evans's advo cacy of its cause in his place in Parliament. The Go ♦ernment may be wronged in having such motives assigned to them, but there can scarcely be two opinions on the offer of each an appointment to a man of the age and the services of General Evans.—Times. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT—Jan. 18. (FROM OUR OWN dORRESPONDENT.) VALUABLE REVENUE PRIZE.-011 Monday last the Stag cutter, Captain Broad, brought into this harbour a vessel of between 20 and 30 tons, which she had cap tured off St. Catherine's. She h a d on board 99 bales of manufactured ar,d leaf tobacco, weighing 3,8171b5., and 16 quarter boxes of cigars, and six men, only one of whom belonged to the island ; the others were from Portsmouth and Shoreham, or parts unknown. The vessel, under the circumstances, as might be expected, had no name, and the port she hailed from had been painted out ; but the word " Emsworth" could still be seen. As for her port of destination, it certainly was not the one to which the revenue officers introduced her. She will prove a valuable prize to the captors. It has been the practice heretofore to burn all the tobacco taken; but an alteration has just taken place, and the probability is that the whole of this will be sent to the troops in the Crimea. The crew will most probably get six months' imprisonment each. SPRATS.—Such large quantities of sprats have been taken here lately that they have been sold for manure at 6d. per bushel. During the late north-east gale great quantities were thrown on shore, on the Parade, the quays, and the beach. PROMOTION IN THE CRlMEA.—Serjeacit Lawson, of the 42d Regiment, has been promoted. He is now Ensign and Adjutant. BIRTH.—On the 18th inst,, the lady of Dr. Hoffmeis ter, of a son.

The Earl of Aberdeen and Sir James Graham left town last evening- for Windsor Castle. Prince Leiningen arrived at Galt's Hotel, Portsmouth, on Wednesday, and proceeded to join her Majesty's ship Victory. The Marquis of Lansdowne du,' not come to London on Tuesday to assist at the conference of his colleagues, but remained at Bowood, where the venerable states man is entertaining a select circle. Viscount Palmerston, who came to town on Tuesday expressly to attend the Cabinet Council at the Foreign office, 'after the deliberation of Ministers, returned to Broadlands, near Romsey, Hants. We regret deeply to have to announce the death of Lady Gore Booth, which took place on Wednesday. The marriage of Sir Humphrey de Trafford, Bart., with the Lady Annette Talbot, eldest daughter of the late Colonel Charles Talbot (by Julia, daughter of the late Sir Henry Tichborne, Bart., now re-married to Captain Washi ng t on Hib bert), an sister to the present Earl of Shrewsbury, took place on Wednesday at Bilton grange, situate within three miles of Rugby, the seat of Captain Hibbert. The ceremonies were very much of a medieval character. The costume of the principal lathes of the party, without being literally copied, was as near an approach to the dresses worn in the thirteenth century, as could well be imagined. The bridesmaids, twelve in number, were a tti re d in the same style of cos tume, though with lees elaborate effect. PHILIP PUSHT, ESQ., LATH M.P.—We are happy to find from recent inquiries that Mr. Pusey is gradually improving in health, although yet unable to return from his brother's residence at Christ Church, Oxford, to Pusey House.

The Wanderer of Vienna, of the 13th, pub lishes the following details of the movement of the Russians into the Dobrudscha :—" The Rus sians crossed the Danube at Tultscha. Favoured by the obscurity of the night they reached the right bank in boats, surprised the Turkish gar- rison, and, after making great carnage among them, recrossed the river laden with booty, and taking with them a number of prisoners. The loss was considerable on the part o the Russians, as the Turks fought with the most desperate courage. Among the slain is a Pacha, but the name is not mentioned. The inhabitants of Tultscha fled into the country with their wives and children, and did not return into the town until long after the departure of the Russians." A letter from Copenhagen, in the Eamburg Correspondent, says :—" It is generally believed at Helaingborg that in the spring an army of 50,000 Swedes and 15,000 Norwegians will be placed under arms. The men belonging to the late levy are to join their regimeits one month sooner than usual." • SPAIN . We have received the following telegTaphio despatch : PARIS, JAN. 18.

A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles, in the Moniteur, states that the number of the Imperial Guard which has just embarked for the East is 82 officers and 2,053 rank and file. General Niel, Colonel de Faubert, aide-do-camp to General Canrobert, and two Protestant clergy men, took their departure from Marseilles on the 16th in the Gauge, proceeding to the East with troops. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" General Beatson, who is at Constantinople, with numerous officers belonging to the Indian army, and who is charged by the Ottoman Government with the for mation of a corps of 4,000 cavalry, is about to pro ceed to Thessaly to recruit for this corps. Thessaly is the province of Turkey in which the best cavalry is to be met with." The Hydaspe, which brought the last intelli gence from Constantinople, left in that port on the inning of tho 4th, the lallay, the Jupiter, and the Bayard, line-of-battle ships, and several war steamers. At Gallipoli, the Laplace was preparing to return to France. The establishment of a. telegraphic line between Constantinople and Belgrade, whereby the former city will be placed in direct communication with northern and western Europe is proceeding rapidly. A number of stations and of houses for persons employed in the service of the line were built as far as Silivri, but they were greatly damaged by a recent gale. They are, however, being rebuilt. "We have received," says the Pays, " a letter of the sth from Constantinople. A - column of riflemen has taken possession of the important po sition of Camara, near Balaklava, after driving out the Russians who occupied it. The enemy in this way experienced severe losses, they were com pletely put to the rout and fled precipitately, burning their forage and tents. The loss of the Russians at Sebastopol and neighbourhood during the last days of December is estimated at more than 6,000 men." " Tlio infantry regiments stationed in France,' says the Constitutionnel— v•V•VVY "Are about to supply a new contingent of 75 men each to the army of the East. The detachments levied in the regiments of the army of Paris are to leave on the 20th by the Lyons Railway for Marseilles and Toulon, where they are immediately to embark for the Crimea."

Montrose commands at Perekop, ,General Korff before Eupatoria, General Pawloff at Simpheropol, and General Osten Sacken at Bakshi-Serai. The last-named officer received a reinforcement of 12,000 men on the 28th ult. General Liprandi, who had received orders to advance against the gorge of the Valley of Balaklava, where the Turks are posted, executed the order with success. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 8. For the last five or six days a white snowy mantle has spread over Constantinople. Every change in the weather here is anxiously watched, and digressed upon with regard to the effect or conse quences it may have produced in the Crimea. The Turkish arsenal is at the present moment literally crowded with British and French men-of war, all undergoing repairs. Great preparations are also being made in the arsenal for the fleet which is to transport the army of Omer Pacha to ttie Crimea. It will consist of sixteen skips, amongst which aro eight Turkish steam-corvettes —the Tale, Medjidie, Caiki-i•Chadi, Mouhbiri Surer, Chehper, Nil, and Feiji-Bahri. The line of-battle ship Mougaderne-Khair will also form part of this squadron. In two or three days this fleet will leave the Bosphorus for Varna, where the troops are to embark. Admiral Ahmed Pacha will command the expedition. Yesterday evening an Austrian Lloyd's steamer arrived here from Trieste, laden with winter cloth ing for the British army in the Crimea. General Salles, commanding the eighth division of the French army, has arrived at Constantinople. The 2d brigade, and General Morris who commands that division are shortly expected. The let brigade of French cavalry, commanded by General Cas saignoles, and consisting of the 7th - regiment of Dragoons and the Ist Hussars, arrived the day before yesterday from Adrianople, and took up their quarters at the great barrack of Daoud Pacha. AUSTRIA. VILNYA, Jan. 14.—0 n the 10th or 11th Prince Gortschakoff received despatches from his Govern ment, confirming the electric message which had reached him on Saturday, the 6th. Of course, the exact contents of such an important document are withheld from the public but it is related that Russia has again exp resse d her readiness to re nounce her claim to an exclusive protectorate in the Principalities and over the Greek Christians in Turkey. The St. Petersburg Cabinet is said to propose that the protectorate shall be exercised by the Five great Powers ; but, if this be the case, matters are just where they were some weeks ago. The Emperor Francis Joseph is, however, extremely anxious that peace should be restored, and the most positive assurance has been given that he is resolved to act as a moderator for both parties. He will, however, firmly insist on Russia's accepting those conditions which his Cabinet considers neces sary for the future peace and welfare of Europe, but he will hesitate to conclude an offensive treaty of alliance with England and France until he ex actly knows what will satisfy those powers. It is evident that it is in the power of Prussia to prolong or to put a speedy end to the war. If she accedes to the treaty of December, and places an army of 100,000 men in Silesia, the pacific professions of Russia will become sincere and she will make con cessions ; but as long as the St. Petersburg Cabi net has the indirect support which it now receives from Prussia it is not likely to make any real con cessions. The unwillingness of Omer Pasha to go to the Crimea at the r eques t o f t h e allies of the Porte has excited considerable surprise here, and probably elsewhere, but it is easily accounted for. The flower of the Turkish army is gone to the Crimea, and the 18,000 or 20,000 men in the Dobrudscha are ill-shod and worse fed Redifs (militia). Should it be asked what has become of the remainder of the great Turkish army, it may be replied that war has a strong appetite and requires continual feed ing. Riza Pasha sent no reinforcements. ODESSA. The Soldier's Friend of Vienna, which has taken the name of the Military Gazette, and the tendencies of which towards Russia are well known, has re ceived from Odessa the follow ing account of the movement of the Russians in the Crimea : "In order to prevent a coup de main against Perekop, the division of General Pawloff, the bri gade of General Wrangel, the four regiments of dragoons, were detached on the 18th u lt . towar d s A.rn]gansk, and took up a position on the road which commands the isthmus. The light division of Hulans, under General Korff, was still holding its winter quarters near Eupatoria, its head-quarters being at Saki. The 51st regiment of Cossacks of the Don had joined it, and these troops will in the early part of January, it is said, commence an offensive movement against Eupatoria. In the meantime, in order to secure the communications with Perekop, reinforcements are being brought up from Odessa. The total force now at Perekop, in cavalry end infantry, amounts to 50,000 men. The Bth division, which arrived at Bakshi-Serai on the 28th December, was immediately after reviewed by General Osten-Sacken, who complimented it on its fine appearance, and said, You have come by or der of your august sovereign to maintain the glory of your ancestors and the honour of Russia, our sacred country ! my children ! It is unnecessary for me to tell you that the eyes of your sovereign, as well as those of your fellow-countrynten, are on you, as the defenders of the word of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. There are among you many whom I have already commanded on fields of battle in Persia, Poland, and Hungary ; re member the past, and continue to behave as becomes brave Russian.. The moment . will soon arrive, when you will leave no other choice to the enemy than death or captivity. Until that time, adieu." Letters from Odessa, of the 6th, state that a hard frost, equal to 9 or 19 degrees below the freezing point, had succeeded to gusts of wind and falls of snow, which prevailed throughout nearly the entire month of December, and the roads had thus been brought into a fit state for the conveyance of troops and muntitions of war to Perekop. Generals Daunenberg and. Read were at Odessa on the 6th ; the former was on the point of setting off for St. Petersburg, where ho is going to take his new scat as member of the Upper Council of War ; the latter was going to assume the command of the third army corps of infantry. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Jan. 15.—The notorious organ of the Russian party at Berlin, the Kreuz Zeitung, of to day, proclaims that the belligerents have effected a compromise. After laying great stress upon thii last word, it proceeds : "The public. gill do us the justice to say that we are not in the habit of making' announcements without being precisely informed on our subject ; and our readers may rely on us implicitly when we say that the account of the recent conference published in the /Aoki is almost entirely false. For instance, nothing was said to Prince Gortscba koff about the destruction of Ismail or the con struction of a neutral fortreso on the Dikuube s ilor does Russia • give up her sovereign e r ightS 03 tbe l' Danube, and much less those she posseasl ig ,b o at Crimea.
