General Ulrich (Commander of the Bd. ! gads of the Imperial Guard), Colonel Marollea, and the Voltigeurs, arrived on the 26th,. in the Ripon, and on the 27th, the Byzantine brought a strong detachment of Grenadiers, under the orders:: of Colo nel Blanchard. The Imperial Guard-,is to embark immediately for the Crimea. Three English Generals, Lord Rokeby and Messrs. Barnard and4ories, have arrived from England in the St. Jean d'Acre, with 1,100 men on board. They all left to-day in that ship for Ba'alslava. Our last accounts from the Crimea are of the 23d. At that date Omer Pasha had landed`ht Eupa toria with 30,000 or 40,000 Turks. This arnrycis to oo cupy the:road leading from Sebastopol to Simpheropol, arid, the moment it is in possession of it, a tremendous fire will be opened by the Allied batteries upon the place, which, being isolated, must capitulate. Every day parties were sent out to reconnoitre the poeition_of Prince Mensehikon army, but they generally returned withoet having met the °family. The latter, low ever, must show themselves in order to relieve Sebastopol, and we will then fight that pitched battle which we so impatiently await." .

In fact, by his own act and choice, at a moment when a strong Government is an imperative necessity to the 'salvation of the army-and the country, he has selected to be a " Minister on sufferance," . . . „ familiar ; above all, who has been accustomed to make the influence of England felt, and her name?eSpeeted, throughout the world. POlitical accidpts, it may be said, have left Lord. Palmerston "master of the situation ;" but his personal at tributes constitute him the man • for the times. He is sum moned to .power at a moment of urgent need. Trusting to his antecedents, the nation looks with confidence to his genius for its preservation.

For the last eig%t days our labour is almost ex clusively devoted to removing the snow out of the trenches. As for, the works they are completely sus pended. The troops continue to arrive in small detach ments, and to leave in considerable numbere. During the last eight or ten days about 2;000 sick have been ssnt :If—one-third, or nearly so, with their limbs, frost. bitten. SirecC yesterday the weather has become fine. The snow is melting. If we have but 15 days like the pre , ent weather we shall have a serious affair with— if not, the army is much to be pitied., Tlie vacancies will scarcely be filled, up by the new reinforeemente. The climate, the privations, the snow, the mud, try the new arrivals in a most severe manner.. Those who it-be conceived that it is merely periOnal vanity, and that he preferred being a powerless Premier to taking his place as an honoured. member of a great Ministry ? Such wickedness would be hardly conceivable, and yet there have been men who were content to go down to posterity as the perpetrators -of great crimes sooner than be forgotten altogether. Perhaps the noble lord has taken a leaf out of the book of Erostratus, THE "RIBALD PRESS !" • (Prom the Times of thiS day,) - In both Houses of Parliament a good deal .of time .was given last night to the instruction of the pl'esB in its special duties under present eiremnstateet.

We ourselves ad monished by Ministers and ex-Ministers, by Lords..and Commons, by all sides - of - the house. • Lord Lansdowne having sweetened - the lip of _ the outs ..with his most honeyed terms, trusts - that 'we will say _ nothing to disturb the general unanimity on the subject of the war, Lord John Russell, who has given currency to some of the strongest expressions about the state of our army and the character of, its management, now turns round, abuses the " ribald press" for what it has done, expresses his entire satisfaction with Lord Raglan for what he has done,. announc ing his intention for supporting the Ministry for-what it will do, whatever that nlay be, and speaks as if it were the 'greatest crime in. the world to do what he has hiniself done in helping-to burst the bubble of our late War Administration. Mr. Gladstone adheres to his figures, and, in the face of every letter that arrives, still maintains that there is a British army of near 30,000 fighting men before Sebastopol. Mr. Wortley thinks the tone of the newspapers likely to create despon dency in our own soldiers and confidence in the fo3 ; and, moreover, that their hecounts are grossly exaggerated.' In fine, we have received a great deal of advice, civil and un civil, but in purport very much the same:---the same, in fact, as that which certain allied Kings in the Bible aro said to have given to a particular prophet who would persist in giv ing a different account of their prospects from the' rest of his class, and ' which somehow or other they could not but suspect to be true. " Prophesy unto us smooth things" is the language of all self-constituted masters. It is evident that we have only to burke our correspondence from the camp and Constantinople, and compose letters from the Crimea, describing a perpetual improvement in the weather, Lord Raglan always seen everywhere, order reigning at Balaklava, the men in excellent health and spirits, and the army always standing at 30,000, and we shall be in better favour. at head-quarters than we have been for many a long month, and shall . continue to enjoy this favour,- till some fine morning Lord Raglan and his staff return with their horses, their plate and their china, their German cook, and several tons,weight of official returns —all in excellent order, and the announcement that, the lait British soldier being dead, they had left our position in the The Neptune, 120, Captain Frederick Hutton, arrived at Spithead yest,-r lay afternoon from Matti, which she left on Thursday, the 11th cf January, with 200 military invalids from the hospitals in the Bosphorus, being sick and wounded soldiers from the army before Sebastopol. They are from almost every'regiinent at the seat of war, several with limbs amputated, and' otherwise badly maimed. It is quite moving to hear how they speak of Miss Nightingale and the female nurses. All these in valids came home in charge of Captain Grogan, of the 14th Foot. Mr. E. G. Noot, AssiStant-Surgeon, of the 50th Regiment, is the only invalided officer by her. The Neptune passed Gibraltar-on the 25th, and Las been just two months since she left Spithead for Malta. She left all her stores at 'Malta dock yard that were not necessary to bring the ship to Eng lead. She has proved herself a noble three-decker, and in every way a truly "first-rate" man-of-war. She beat the St. George by a week in the inn out. The Brittania, Trafalgar, and St. George three-deckers may be daily expected in England, having lett Malta on the 15th, 17th, and 18th ult. respectively, leaving all their serviceable stores behind. Only one invalid died on the passage home in the Neptune, and he of pneumonia, on getting into the easterly winds on Wednesday. The whole will be tran snipped in steam-tenders for landing, and forwarded by land to sick quarters to-day. The Exmouth, 91, screw, Captain F. T. Pelham, was not tried at Devonport, as intended, on Wednesday, in consequence of the non-arrival of the engine contractor. The Edinburgh, 61, screw, Captain Hewlett, arrived at Spithead on Wednesday evening, from the coast of Scotland. That false edge of jaied appetite Which haunts the latter years of vicious men."

That this mockery of a Cabinet can last, we do not believe even Lord Palmerston dreams. There are two rocks ahead, either of which must be fatal to the crazy craft —Mr. Roebuck's committee, and the impossibility of carry ing on the war without a loan. The first must be carried out if the country is to be saved from the connivance of one party playi-g into-the hands of the other. Should the Government contrive to exist, however, even for a short time the nation must prepare itself for one of two things—either the total destruction of our unfortunate army, or the raising of the siege of Sebastopol. The present Cabi net is incapable of working out any other solution. Supposing, however, that it fails, the nation wilt remember, should the Palmo-Peelites attempt a dissolution, that to thorn they will owe the loss of two irretrievable months, on which certainly the fate of our army—perhaps the position of England in Etirope—may depend. We fear, however, that the experi ment, however fatal its results, was absolutely necessary to get rid, once and for ever, of the " great Palmerston delu sion." ing "The Russians have modified their system of attack.

Perhaps it is solely owing to the change of their commanders, which, according to the deserters, is very frequent. Towards 11 o'clock on the night of the 14th ow r advanced piquets gave notice of the approaxls of the: enemy. There were " thew in the trenches two companies of , the 95th Regiment of Infan try, and two others of the 74th, under the orders of Com mander Roumejoux. Our works are so near the Rus sians, on that point, that they came down upon us nearly as soon as the advice of their approach, with ex traordinary boldness, their officers marching at their head. We coolly awaited them, and when sufficiently close we charged them with the bayonet. A dreadful melee ensued, but the Russians, unable to resist when attacked with the bayonet, were speedily driven back, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions they made to maintain themselves on our line and penetrate into the battery. The melee continued during their retreat, which does honour to their officers, three of whom were killed at the first rank. You will remark probably that this account pretty nearly resembles what I already wrote to you respecting the sorties of the Russians. They are no longer the men we had to contend with at the begin ning of the siege, and I can assure you that we have now opposed to us adversaries not to be despised. More over, our losses indicate the gravity of the affair. .We had two captains and several men killed, and fifteen wounded, amongst whom were Commander Roumejoux and two other officers. The Commander is still living, which is truly miraculous, for the upper part of his lungs has been perforated by a bayonet. The Russians left 30 killed in our trenches.

From Lord Derby's statement to trio House of Peers last light, one thing at least is elenr„ that a Derbyite Ministry was at the present time impossible. His lordship is certainly not chargeable with the sin of timidity. He has, before now, undertaken bold if not rash experiments. He last night re counted to the house the number of gentlemen who think with him, as though they would think with him on all sub jects. We who know—the public which knows—how grie viously these ranks are broken, on almost every point that can arise—know also how little Lord Derby could count on their votes, following one of Mr. Disraeli's brilliant 'speeches in the House of Commons, or calculate a favourable division with any degree 'of certainty. His lordship talks of the cordial support of two hundred and eighty members of the House of • Commons -being still at his command. It may be so, but recent division lists do not show that exact disci pline—that perfect confidence—that entire abnegation and surrender of all personal will—which aro desirable in a party doomed to follow blindly measures, not because they are good, but because they are the measures of the Ministry whose name they bear. • The Arrogant, 46, screw, Captain Yelverton, hauled out of dock a: Portsmouth yesterday morning.

The tents will aceotnmodate 24 horses each, and are roofed with waterproof cloth, the sides being filled in with stout canvas. One of the principal improvements is, that the tents, if necessary, can be fitted up together, forming one gigantic erection, with or without partitions.

Observe- _oppo site the York Hotel. The long aeries of Ministerial explanations which have pre ceded, accompanied, and followed the formation of the pre sent Administration was brought to a close last night by the statements of Lord Granville, Lord Derby, and the Marquis of Lansdowne in the Hbuse of Lords, aid by the observations of Lord John Russell in the House of Commons. At any ordi nary time Parliament and the country would hive listened with - unusual interest to these incidents of political life, which display.the action of parties and the personal relations of public men ; but, from first to last, in the present state of public affairs, there has been a strong and just feeling in the country that these discussions were paltry and mischievous. As Parliament adjourns this day for another week, to enable the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary to be returned by their respective constituencies to their seats in the House of Commons, very nearly three weeks will have been consumed in this crisis from the day of Mr. Roebuck'S motion to the recommencement ot the session on the 16th of February ; and, what is of still greater importance, the action of the public departments has for a considerable portion ,of this time been suspended. It is impossible not to remark that a little more foresight and candour on the part of two or three members of Lord Aberdeen's Cabinet might have avoided all this incon venience, by effecting a modification of that Administration during the recess. The proceedings of last evening in the House of Lords were opened by Lord Granville, who will now act as the principal organ of the Government in the upper house, with the assistance, - or, as he himself modestly expresssd it, under the guidance of Lord Lansdowne. No man is better qualified than Lord Granville for this hon ourable duty, and we remember that the discriminating judgment of Lord Lyndhurst marked him out at a very early ago as the member of his party best fitted to succeed the emi nent statesmen who have filled - that post. Lord Granville's Statement of the policy of the new Cabinet amounted to no more than a renewal of their solemn pledges to adhere to a liberal system at home, and, above all, to carry on the war with vigour and effect abroad. These,expressions have been used so often frOm the very commencement of hostilities that they might 'be stereotyped in every journal, in every debate, in every public meeting, and in every official declaration. There is absolate unanimity in the sentiment. But the ques tion addressed to the late Government was " What do yon mean by carrying on the war with vigour and effect ?" The House of Commons was of opinion that the measures taken or promised for this purpose were not an adequate performance of the engagement, and Lord Aberdeen's Ministry fell. The present Cabinet has the advantage of knowing by melancholy experience where our military system is most defective, what men have- proven most incompetent, what evils we have to surmount ; and we are therefore entitled to expect that they will apply their efforts in the right direction, and especially to objects which it is but too easy to point out. Lord Derby's account of the transactions in which he has recently played a considerable part was elaborate to minute nese and admirably eloquent ; but it had in some degree the tone of an exculpation, and of an exculpation addressed to his own adherents, rather than to his opponents or to the coun try. We have not 'the slightest desire .to address to Lord Derby any adverse criticism upon the conduct he pursued ou this occasion ; on the contrary, it appears to us to have been sensible, spirited, and patriotic ; and perhaps it is to be regretted that he was not more successful in his attempt. But that conduct is a complete disavowal of all that the Tories have been professing and demanding for seve ral years ; and Sir Robert Peel's announcement that he meant to repeal the Corn-laws was scarcely more startling to the rural mind of his party than Lord Derby's declaration that he desired to place himself at the head of a Coalition Govern ment. He boasted, indeed, of the strength of his phalanx in the House of Commons-280 good men and true, whom ad versity itself has not reduced. He told the House that Lprd Ellenborough was ready to assume the direction 'of the War Department ; that the " commanding abilities" of Sir Ed ward Bulwer Lytton would add their lustre to the Cabinet ; and that Mr. Disraeli had waived his pretensions to lead the House of Commons. Yet, such 'Was the unanimity of the country with reference to Lord Palmerston's high qualifica tions for office in the present conjuncture, that Lord Derby felt it necessary to address himself in the first instance to that nobleman, and the proposal was accompanied by an offer to include Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Sidney Herbert in the same Ministerial combination. Considering the language which has been addressed to these statesmen by the Tory party and its organs for the last seven years, it must bo confessed that Lord Derby was'prepared to construct his Cabinet on a very broad basin of reconeiliation.. But he did not stop even hero. He proccededto pay a just tribute to the ability .displayed by Lord' Clarendon in directing the foreign affairs of the country, and he intimated that, if the arrangements for this Adminis tration had not been cut short by Lord Palmerston's refusal, it would have been his duty and his desire to urge Lord Clarendon and Lansdowne to lay aside all party feelings and join ,in the formation of this national and - patriotic Govern ment. Such schemes are, unhappily, too brilliant to be realised, and, even if the attempt had been made, we could scarcely have hoped for success in the combination of elements at once so powerful and so various. But what are we to think of the effect of this disclosure on the Tory party' itself ? What are we to believe when Mr. Diiraeli, who declared that ‘ 4 England loves not coalitions," was pre pared to sacrifice his own personal pretensions to the most wonderful coalition which had been projected since Mr. Fox joined Lord North ? What has " the great country party" to hope for when the possibility of their return to power was made to depend on the consent of their antagonists to act as their leaders ? These are the questions Lord Derby en deavoured to answer, and the difficulties he attempted to remove ; but his speech only confirms the opinion we ex pressed at the commencement of theie transactions -that his return to office was impossible without extraneous support.

We are bound to assist the cause of our country, not merely by a passive acquicsence in the sacrifices required of us, but by vigorous efforts to improve what is amiss, and to supply what is wanting and we in' must ve be allowed to add that in this respect the press and the country have set an !example to the Government,:and not the Government to them. In the efforts in which we have had the honour to participate we acknoWledge no object, we are conscious of no motive, but an earnest and ardent desire to throw our whole power into this national cause. We have spoken the truth without respect of persons, even when it was most painful to do so ; we have exposed abuses wherever they could be detected ; because these are the duties which immediately devolve on our own profession. In every in stance a tardy confession or a reluctant discovery has demon strated the accuracy of that information. Let the Govern ment and the officers of the Government in every department of the public service be equally ready to give effect to their resolutions, and to enforce in every instance the paramount obligations of public duty, and we shall have little reason to complain ; but at present the most essential condition of im provement and success is that these principles should be not only addresaed by the Ministers to the country; but applied to their subordinates and s ternly enforced by themselves. (From the Morning Herald.) We arc glad to perceive that a period is approaching in England when her people are likely to throw off the various delusions by which they have been misled to follow one poli tical nostrum after another, instead of looking steadily to honesty and integrity as the only things needful to secure the safety of the nation at home, its honour and its authority abroad. We need not attempt to run the gauntlet through the various erroneous phases which have signalised the long years since 1830, durinc , which the nation has bee n running to and fro, vainly demanding " who will show us a n y good ?" The first'wds the greatest—the Reform delusion ; and .to that after the test of experience has been applied, we find the miserable residuum to consist of that exposed humbug—Lord John Russell, and the powerless and factious assembly called the Reformed House of Commons. Next.the Peel humbug lasted a considerable time, but we think the condition of our army in the East has finished that delusion, as the nation is now convinced the whole of its mis fortunes and miseries is the work of Peel's clerks. During the last two years we have had the Coalition hum bug, divided into various small delusions. Suffice it to say, wo have had the diplomatic humbug—the Sehastopol delusion -- the alitic font dream ; and now thr nation stands aghast at the fearful reality of the Crimean catastrophe. There remains, however, a last delusion, which the people of England must throw off before they are entirely restored to health—the Palmerston delusion an t this we hope will be the work of a very few, but alas, very precious weeks. The Palmerston delusion has already cost this country and the world : • The Affghan war, and the destruction of our army in the Khyber Pass. The breaking up of the Protestant kingdom of Holland. The sacrifice of the kingdom of Poland. The treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, handing over the Dardanelles to Russia--the direct cause of the present war. The destruction of freedom in Portugal, by the treacherou arrest of the Junta of Oporto. The non-execution of the cession of the Milanese to Pied mont, as proposed by Austria in her extremity, thereby sacri ficing the liberty of north Italy, preventing the strengthening of the constitutional kingdom of Sardinia, and, as a conse quence, aiding the entrance of Russia into Hungary, and the establishment of her influence in central Europe. These few items may suffice for the present ; it would be easy to extend the list of our debts to the present Premier. But one evil more, the last and the worst, remains behind— the present state of things. Lord Aberdeen and Lord Derby both declared that what England required ut the present moment was a " strong Government ;" and no one can deny that Palmerston is the man who has forced on the country the wretched mummery which now mocks the nation by assuming the functions of a mi n i s try. Look to the Treasury benches. There sits the phantom, mopping and mowing —the ghost of the old Coalition, " sitting crowned and ghastly on the grave thereof." Now, it is a fearful thing to ask for what has this Minister, who has reached the full period of human life, interposed, individually and personally, to prevent the possibility of a strong Adthinistration being formd adequate to the emer gency? The great difficulty of carrying on the Government of this country since the Reform Bill, and the destruction of ' the confidence of the nation in tho honour of public m en, has been the difficulty of obtaining. a reliable Parliamentary ma jority—from the vast subdivision of members into cliques, and the impossibility of those cliques trusting each other. Au opportunity occurred, however, by which a party might have been formed capable of commanding the majority of the house, and so carrying out the wishes of the nation. The 'great Country party under Lord Derby amounts to something between 270 and 280 votes-40 more of the men wno may be classed as waverers and supporters of all 'Governments would have joined this, and by a junction with this mass Lord Palmerston'might have aided in constructing a Ministry able to count on supporters numbering consider ably more than half of the entire house. • • • Nevertheless, this patriotic Minister has preferred to join himself to a wretched and feeble clique, already condemned by the nation, w hi c h h as even coerced its representatives to endorse the sentence by a majority 0f157. Even. with the aid of these condemned men he cannot Command a sixth of the house, but must entirely depend upon the forbearance o, But Lord Derby, failing himself and by his own weight to form a Ministry, bethought hhnof the'nobleman whose name was on all lips—Whose ieputation was in all hdarts—as the man to lead And to save the country, lie offered seats in the Cabinet to Lord Palmerston and to two of his friends—Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Sidney Herbert—and professes himself somewhat surprised at the receipt of a negative reply. We should have been surprised had .ho received any other —had Lord Palmerston disappointed the demand of the country 'by accepting a nominal office, such -as • that of President of the Council, at a time when Lord .Ellen borongh would have held the War Secretaryship, at a time when ho himself would have been virtually shelved, and the fate of England would have been entrusted to a Ministry in which the country could not have felt that'Cotifidenco now so essential. No man stands higher than Lord Palmerston above all suspicion of selfishness in such matters.. Ho has repeatedly sacrificed 'personal claims and personal considerations to the desire of serving his Queen and his country. *The country will decide whether he was not justified in concluding that his presence as President of the Council iu the Ministry of Lord Derby would be 9f no service either to that Cabinet or to the nation. The houses of Parliament will .seen be called ou to decide whether or no they prefer the Ministry of Lord Pahnerston to the raw recruits whom Lord Derby would be forced to call into office. (Front the Morning 'Chronicle of this dag.) At a moment when the fortunes of England are depending . alike upon the conduct 'of a great war, and the successful management of her foreign policy, it is a circumstance of pe acideiharieffeliwcihtoysewhpireho, tonged e l i e C eri ab oi i i n c e e t n i u n de a r th4 the n4 pr t e ra si u de o n n cy h , a o s f been derived from services iu The War-bffib and iu the Fo reign -office, of nearly equal duration. Lord Pabnerston has spent in each department a term of years which would have entitled him to rank - Mutest as a veteran functionary, and has in both achieved a reputation for singular ability and success. At the War-office his services extended in au un broken series from 1809' to 1828, during which • time ho gra dually add literally worked his way to the chief administra tion of the department.

Europe as the :check and opponent of.absolutism. When Canning died, the Liberals of the Continent looked to Palmerston as his politi eal heir, and the trustee of their own future 4 hopes. The functions of a Secretary-at-'War were, .and are, chiefly executive. It was; accordingly, not until he became Foreign Minister that Lord Palinerston was in a position to put the stamp of individuality upon his policy. Since 1530, while administer ing the foreign affairs of the country, he has encountered twice over, at distinct intervals, the perils -of a republican cataclysm which shook the thrones and submerged the nations of the Continent. He has also conducted us successfully over succe ssive crises, which threatened to plunge us in war with one or more of our powerful neighbouN—crises of the greater peril on' account of the unconquerable apathy that per vades the English public with regard to all foreign affairs until they are roused by the actual presence of insult or policy only nl preserved b es e er derived ve the d from the charac ter support of danger, and leav es th e Minister; at moments of the In: culic most press i n g exigency, witho u t th e strengt h wh i ch, infeoo prudentlyhi s e i s v t i i sc uc o yunto'e, to restrain the aggres ssiblEvery-where l ie s t oo d f orwar d to rebuke,p unpdperorotin- of popularcoustitut o iontl in sy io s u te .

In the first month -of his Foreign Secretaryship.a trivial incident created a disturbance • Poland, which rapidly acquired the dimensions of an in . Polish he fem lad:cell:: d surrection. Two students drank the health y of Kosciusko and the unwise attempt to punish their offence produced a ' conflict against their Russian oppressors, at first for g freedom, and g i n i t e e d rer e heroically.i in ~ th e afterwards ' for existence. At. this time the - Enalish/ svmp grievous fault with the in which the has assailed the noble viscount from the s t :o u contest further than by an assauranee that England would keep watch over the faithful observance, by Russia, of tho obligations entered into at the Treaty of Vienna. Much more recently, an Foreign nts mwinitihsterthbe-ecPauoslees outcry, excited by a partisans of Hungarian ~ nationality, " 1 pre cisely parallel event, his• n both instances Lord Palmerston never concealed personal predilections for the cause of liberty, nor abstained from g i v i ng express i on to his opinions eit her in Parliament or through his official corre spon d e nce with foreign diplomatist s . ' His fault lay in his not allowing those predilections to overbear the dictates of prudence and the responsibilities of a Minister of State. He would• not involve the country in the dread hazards of war, even for the propagat ion of liberty and constitutionalism, when those principles were erab (1' o led in the conflict between a people and their recognised Sovereign. The propagandists of liberalism have censured Lord Pal merston for timidity in the advocacy of abstract principles. As an English Minister, and in controversies wherein the dignity or interests of England were engaged, ho has been taxed with temerity. B o th charges aro equally unsubstantial. The allegation of rashness has been raised once and again, at times when the country seemed verging u pon hostilities with Franco; Just as. often has it been disproved by the result, which allowed that the Foreign Sceratary was able to obtain the desired end without paying the heavy penalty of war, and what events could not do for him the noble viscount did for himself during the session of lB5l, when all th e pleas i t was possible to collect from fifteen years of administration were piled together into a monster indictment, and provoked that memorable reply which formed at once one of the most triumphant vindications of statesmanship and splendid effu sions of eloquence to which the House of Commons has ever named. May we not include it among our coincidences, that this noble speech was elicited by A motion proposed by Mr. Roebuck, just as it has boon another motion of the same honourable member which has resulted. in placing Lord Pal merston at the head of the Cabinet ? Ono epithet was attached to the name of , Palmerston dur ing the debate to which we have alluded, earned throughout his whole career, and constituting new his great claim to the confidence of the country. Alanlys, and at all i Dints, he is pre-eminently an " English" Minister. English in his sympa thies for liberty--English in the po'icy which ho has enforced, and the interests he has. fostered throughout Europe—he is not the less English iu his personal character. In courage, vigour, perseverance , a nd patience Lo rd Palmer eton exhibits the endowments which his countrymen Most cul tivate and admire. His Parliament:lly career has testified to the possession of qualities of intellect and temper that pro mise to fit him well for the performance of the arduous duties he has now undertaken. Alike as a Minister and as an aspi rant for Administration, be h as shown himself prudent, pa tient, and bold. He has never _snatched at power, nor fled from responsibility. No momentary petulance has caused him to throw up a great schem e of re f orm, nor any hope of Personal aggrandisement induced him to plunge the Go vernment into confusion and paralysis. The critical times that have come upon us demand the interposition of a Premier who can act withooat fear and 1 without haste ; who unites great administrative vigour with mature official experience ; to whom the intricacies of our mili tary system and of oin• foreign diplomacy ArQ equally care of our gallant Allies. • We are fully prepared for this sort of advice, or rather re proof. It is the language of , all barbarous and semi-civilised nations, who either decapitate the bearers of ill -tidings or pro mulgate false news, turning defeatsinto victories, multiplyiug their own army till the• hour of action, and ; then .multiplying as much .the slain of the enemy. The readers of " Hadji Baba" will remember just such a scene. At the opening of the present war the - British people chose to consider the Russian accounts very much exaggerated, and took occasion to con trast, very favourably to themselves, their own candour at all costs. Indeed, it is popularly supposed that the English can not lie, and are, if anything, rather too frank, so tha t if you want to know the worst of them you have only to hear what they say of themselves. -We believe that- this is true. But then it is -not true of the whole nation s and , certainly is not true of the whole house of Lords-or the whole House of Com mons. If it had been true of every part of the common wealth—if there had been no statesmen, no classes, no in terests, no professions, no combinations of any kind, always having an eye to fair seemings, hollow consistencies, and pre sent inconvenience, rather than the plain truth, we should never have had the management of this expedition left so many mouths in the same incompetent hands. Indeed; on this very point of plain-speaking, we beg leave to challenge a comparison. between Lord John Russell' part and our own throughout this war. As . soon as there was the least chance of fighting, we - sent gentlemen to various stations in the East with one and the same simple instruction-4o describe what they saw, and relate what they heard on the best authority. Had. we given no such com mission, the necessity of the case would itself have prescribed the same thing, for no acknowledged correspondent of this paper could show his face in the army if that army did not find him faithful and exact in the discharge of his mission. licides these letters, we have also inserted many others from all ranks in the army, and the remarks we have ventured to make ourselves have been simply in the nature of the com ments on those letters, generally with no other view than to • call attention to them, and secure for them the weight they deserved in regard to the administration of the war. From • the first landing at Gallipoli and Varna, and again, with still more, urgency, from the lauding in the Crimea, we hive, on the indications supplied by our correspondence, endeavoured to impress -upon Government many deficiencies to be sup plied. When the siege operations threatened to be pro tracted, • and still morn when the news had arrived of the failure of the first general attack, we innnediately offered many warnings on the prospect of a winter campaign, and the result was a great number of letters, from persons en titled to respect, on the proper means of preparing against the winter of the Crimea, and the peculiar • hardships of a camp in so exposed renrt„Ti z a ,a, s e i ni t a t t i b a el t er i f,lL,vs.eo thise k n h o 7 d e l: 0 ; 0 s t :: hesitation in disaster saying that if the suggestions which appeared in this paper , laew ast half c b e e i f v o c r , e , th i, e nel c y n c , l u o t might have been averted. We regret, however, to state that such was not the . feeling at head-quarters in this country, and that about that very time a contemporary, in the confidence of a section of the late Cabinet, and evi dently under its inspiratiOn, published a series of articles lampooning all the suggestions that had been made in those columns—railway, lists, sheep-skins, woollens, &e., with the general remark that it was just as absurd to send these things to our soldiers in the Crimea as it would be to a friend who was going to spend the Christmas iu the same latitude at Dijon. . We have described our course. Now for LLY d John Rus sell's. He confesses ho was never satisfied with the adminis tration of the war. Ho always wanted it to be in stronger and more experienced hands. First he wanted one man, with more authority; then, when the Duke of Newcastle seemed to have settled into the office, and his colleagues more immediately concerned in the conduct of the war began to complain that the Duke did not take sufficient notice of their suggestions —still more, when matters looked ill, Lord John then began to talk about a Board of War—a second best ex pedient to supply what was wanting in the actual Minister of War. In fact, however, he did not press his advice, and for months he gave so little vent to his convictions, his words and deeds so little corresponded to his information and his judgment, that not only were his colleagues all under a rills. take to the last, but Lord John has been utterly incapable of doing justice to his own mental history in the matter of the war. With much humility he has confessed that he ought to have resigned very much earlier, and it is obvious that ho ought not to have resigned without first saying and doing everything that was possible—short of resignation. In fact, therefore, his fault has been not speaking out, and a very seri ous error it has proved. Had he spoken out in time, no doubt the administration of the war might have been rendered much more effective. Indeed, Lord John said only the other night that, had Lord Aberdeen had a better servant, or the Duke of Newcastle a better master, things might have gone right. All, therefore, that was wanted was the application of the Cabinet stimulus to the Duke, which Lord John Ems .sell confesses he did not give as he ought to have done. The result has been a break up of the Cabinet, and a new Admi nistration, much too late, .we fear, to save more than a frac tion of the army, and only just in titne=if in time—to pre pare for the campaign of 1855. With a course of conduct so mysterious, so untrue to conviction, so dilatory, so timid, so uncertain, so bari-en of present results, so abrupt and appa rently so treacherous at last, so indefensible, so calculated to shake the mutual confidence of political men, and finally lead ing to such negative and even injurious-results, we fearlessly contrast the open, decisive, and uniform course taken by the "ribald press" Lord John now petulantly abuses. But there are accusations which in their subitance, their spirit, their time, their occasion, and their authors are the strongest testimony one 'could receive in one's favour. Mark, an inefficient - Administration is overthrown, the faulty mem bers removed, and a new Administration formed on the un derstanding of prosecuting the war with new vigour. Thu three members displaced aro the Minister who would not do his work, the chief who would not make him do-it, and the colleague who would not speak his mind till it was too la o. As we, by the consent of all, have spoken our mind all along, and newspaper and, statesman have Ml in turn had to come round to us, the result is a triumph. We may now hail it as a triumph, for we find ourselves greeted with a storm of abuse from all the disappointed personages. We say " all," for several of the Conservative leaders have joined in the cry, evidently chagrined to have gained so little in the scramble, which has merely ended in the substitution of one chief for another and tho strengthening of - one particular department. But why are we abused just now, when so much good has been done, if it be not from a general conviction that we have done it I No sooner does the new Administration meet Par liament than the malignints in both houses, instead of at tacking the new Administration, turn round and attack us. Nay, they attack us under cover of civilities to the new Ad ministration, as if it mattered very little whether they praised or abused Lord Palmerste4 or Lord Pamunre, but was very important and very appropriate to the occasion to abuse us. • So much for the charge of plain speaking, and letting the British public know more than they are likely to hear from Cemmanders-in-Chief and Chancellors of the Exchequer. One word for the very much smaller affair in which Lord Malmes bury has a flinr , at us. Does he pretend to say that rank, private interest, * and money. have not more influence in the British army than in any other army in the world ? Does he pretend to say that personal talents, personal virtues, and experience in actual service, have• not loss influence in the British army, and in the whole military system of this corm ' try, than in any other ? If ho cannot say this, what is the ' value of all the details he can rummage out of the Army List? Mr. Thomas B. Curtis, of Roston, f, rmerly of . the United States' navy, has lately issued p rinted circulars, both in the United States and on th is side, to urge an alteration in the course pursued by st.aners in their pa , sige from Europe to Ann-Tina. The present plan is to keep as northerly as pos s ibtey passing over the length m and breadth of the Bank s of Newfmiland and sighti ng Cape Race. It is in this vicinity, however, that the most deplorable accidents, including the loss of the Arctic, hays happened, and Mr. Cultic clutends that an agreement should be adopted to let the course be shaped so as to on 8; int.relv the WI of the banks, and leave Cape Race 100 or 150 miles t!) the northward, th u s escaping the possibility of wreck at th a t point, and alio in a great measure tho danger of collision with v grto the foggy b an k s. Th e t em pt a ti on to ricsosrkt.eh has e s r been from an idea that the more course involves a s h or t en i n g o f dist anc e vari nlelyrohsisitlii e vari ously estimated at flo n 75 to 300 mike, but, according to Professor Peirce, of Howard Univerzity, the lois by the new route would be only 20 miles. The accounts from all parts of the country describe great stagnation in trade. Probably, however, it is due to the severity of the weather more than to any other cause, . . _ ..... column, and Were supported by a corps of reserve of novel descripton. That corps, composed of Men, spe cially chosen for their agility and dexterity, was only armed with slight but solid ropes, at the extremity of which was a running knot. On arriving within reach of the batteries, and during the engagement, they threw on our soldiers those lassos, which they had handled with much skill. They did not even spare our wounded. We have been told that this new weapon was used in Caucasus. This may be the case, but as we are not the half-savage populatiOns of Caucasus, we could not help branding that barbarous proceediin as unworthy of a European army. Publish the tact in your journal. It will be a reply to the fine sentiments expressed by the Empe ror-Nicholas, which we read to-day in the papers. Every thing in that sortie was strange indeed. It was evidently organiied by a man of great skill and boldness. Those lassos, the peculiar arms borne by the officers,—long straight swords with poinard hilts,—the nails and hammers • for spiking the guns, found in their pockets, all showed that the, attack was planned and conducted by men who were determined to die or succeed in the attempt. One of the officers, in his despair at not being able to climb on the epaulement, ran his long sword through the gabions to wound the soldiers placed behind him. One of the latter broke the sword in two with his spade, and , then, leaping over the parapet, he attacked the o ffi cer who had only his broken sword to defend' himself, and killed him. No doubt remains as to the worth and rank of the brave chief, who commanded that coup de main. The next morning a flag of truce presented himself with a letter from General Osten Sacken to General Furey, in which he expressed his deepest regret for the death of that most distinguished officer,' and requested the Commander of the besieging corps to give up his body to him. Gen. Forey immediately acquiesced in his desire, and by the same opportunitydelivered to the Russians the bJdies of 26 of their comrades who bad not yet been in ' interred. This delivery took place within the buildings of the Quarantine, in the presence of an officer of an eccentric character, who spoke French very fluently, and said to us This is a shocking work we are engaged in ! What binders you from taking the town r All this cannot amuse you. For our part, we are heartily tired of 'it.' What did be mean by putting to us such questions 2 I cannot, I merely repeat his expressions verbatim. The artillery of the place has modified its firing, and has of late adopted thu strange syr-tem of letting off several mortars at a time. This producf.s sit extia,ordinary coin motion in the air. The plan is not a bad oue, fur it is easier to avoid one bomb than ten. Since the return of the fine weather the sanitary condition of the army has sensibly improved. The arrival cif an immense supply of winter clothing, and leather ,and wooden shoes, will hereafter protect our soldiers from cold and damp. One' would suppose we had" Turks to command. All our men wear the red fez, which has been given to them in lieu (e nightcaps. They have, besides, received wooden shoes, with excellent socks and woollen gloves. Those particu lars will afford you an idea of the minute care taken of our soldiers. A large cargo of charcoal has just been landed at Kanaiesch, for distribution among the divisions. Some vessels laden with firewood have also arrived there. The Government, you see, does not let us want for anything. Since the night of the 14th we have not heard of nor seen the Russians. They have only retained posts of observation in the valley of the Tchernaya, Since their last unsuccessful attempt to penetrate by Inkermann into Sebastopol they can only communicate with the army outside along the roadstea 1. Neverthe less from our positions we can see them regularly attend ing to their usual occupations. They establish works of defence, carry gabions, and, like us, often blow on their fingers to warm them. On the 12th of January (the first day of the Russian year), I was standing in our new battery (the one we received from the English, and which is to batter the tower of Malakoff), whence I had a full view, between the fort of the Mat and the city, of the fine promelade, on which the theatre stands. With my long glass I perfectly beheld five or six female figures, dressed nearly alike, enjoying a morning walk. Every body was anxious to have a peep at them, for it is now eight months since such a sight relieved our eyes. Two of them appeared handsome. We followed their move ments with a certain pleasure, when they were ac costed with many demonstrations of politeness by two officers, in Whose company they shortly afterwards dis appeared." The Constitutionnel contains the following from the Crimea, under date 25th ult. : " The weather • has become very fine. Every night we have a strong frost, followed the next day by a bright sun, when we begin to bestir ourselves and set to work as if nothing was the matter. Our batteries are all finished, and armed with 230 guns and mortars. The English, en their side, lose no time. They have lately received a number of horses mail mules from Spain. The armament of their batteries is proceeding rapidly, and will be soon completed, provided the fine weather lasts some days longer. The Ottoman troops are fast arriving at Eupatoria. The Russians continue to fire upon us as usual, but the moonlight has no doubt dotal-led then. from making sorties. It was Colonel Papof, of the Im perial staff, who was killed in the sortie of the 14th, and whose body was delivered up by us to the com mander of the town. The general health of the army is good. We have lately received supplies of provisions and effects, as well as presents from private individuals. The city of Algiers has sent to the General-in-Chief a large quantity of cigars and tobacco for our soldiers. This is a kind and noble actiou, and the gift of cur colony will, I am sure, be gratefully acknowledged by .our brave troops, who for the most part commenced their military career in the country. Yesterday, I suet my General Emperor, dressed in a fur cloak sent to him by the All the Generals have received from his Majesty a similar gift.
