We must make ui our minds to fight it out with a stout he ar t and a strong hand. The people have been disgusted, and with reason, with4the mismanagement of the army; but, though these things have roused their indig nation against our Ministers, they have, so far as, we are aware, done nothing towards.lowering their spirit or their .well merited confidence in the courage and resources of the nation. When we I K)k.nt their mismanagement we may in deed feel shame, but when we regard our own conduct we have nothing to blush for. The pcopl of this country undertook the war on a clear and well-defined principle, from which they, at least, have never shrunk or wavered. They hare undertaken the burdens of fresh taxation without a murmur, and relieved the wants of our neglected army with princely munificerce. , All that we have lost has been from cans , s clearly preventible. Our men were sent to Pevno in despite of warnings of .4 deadly malaria. Starvation, over- ' work, expsure, want of medicine, want of medical comforts —nay the very shipwrecks themselves --were all occasion. d by causes within our own et ntrol, and which, if we could only rescue ourselves from the-deadly incubus which op resses us, need never return again, We have never met the enemy but to conquer them, and" ipliicted upon them losses and dis graces such as broke the'proud Sprit of one Emperor and already throw a dark shadow far into -the reign of his 5a , ..- cessor. We have shut up the Russian fleets, demolished at a blow ti-e commerce of the country, And are at this moment spreading terror on the coasts of provinces which hundreds of thou Sands of men are deemed barely sufficient to pfoteet. Our army is in high discipline and fall -f ardenr—ournavy desires nothing so much as an opportunity of distinction. - We have maintained ourse ves by our own strength and that of our ally for six months, under every possible disadvantage, -in a position from which all the efforts of so many Generals and -armies have been unable to dislodge us. Ad i to this the necessary derangement of the finances of a vast and poor - country, called- on- for enormous pecuniary -sserifices and drained of its very hea t's blood by the ever-increasi g draughts of the conscription. Why should we despair with such a prospect ? Why tarnish .our honour and lower our prestige by attempts to wheedle from our en my that peace which we must eventually be able to . dictate on our own terms, and conciliate that support from timid and vacillating Courts, without which we are well able, by courage and per ' severance, to reduce our enemy to submission ? Let us have no Ministers but those whose hearts are in the cause, no Generals, no Admirals, but those who really mean to win by the utmost exertions of courage and enterprise, and we need no shabby compromises, no discreditable and colourable con cessions. But, if we are determined to carry on war in a lukewarm way —if we are to link more of conciliating sup port than of winning battles—if we are to have Ministers who represent their own timidity and feebleness, instead of - the manly and earnest spirit which animates the country,—then, with or without Austria, with or without Prussia, with or without nego• iations and protocols, there is nothing for us but to descend from our 'high position among the nation , and confess that we are unable to fight for our rights, because we have not patriotism to form an honest, or courage to sup port a vigorous, Government. 11 It.

SPIRIT OF TILE PUBLIC JOURIyALS. (From, the Times of yesterday.) One of the most important changes whiCh could possibly have been introduced into our military system has been well commenced by the issue of an unassuming memorandum from the War-office under the date of May 1. This memorandum is very short, very important, and, as far as it goes, very wise, but. it-is couched. in a strain of pleasing irony, "In order," writes Lord Panmure, "to remove any doubt which may exist as to the rank awl precedence of the officers of the Hon. East India Company's service ;"—why, there never has been any doubt at all upon the subject. Any schoolboy who has paid decent attention to the gossip of bis elders is perfectly aware that hitherto the rank of an East Indian officer was altogether lost to the west of the Cape of Good Hope. In a' sort of loose fashion, we have been in the habit of receiving at our London dining-tables and in the pump-rooms of our bathing towns a host of generals, colonels, and majors from India, but they had no more real right to the titles conceded to them by the courtesy and good sense of their countrymen than so many members of the Society of Friends. We are not, however, disposed to be critical upon forms of expression where the meaning of what follows is so reasonable. "It is Her Majesty'• pleasure that officers of the East , India Com pany's service, whose commissions shall be signed by autho rities duly deputed to do so by her Majesty, shall have rank .and precedence with officers of her Majesty's regular army, according to the dates of their commisions, in all parts of her Majesty's dominions or elsewhere." As yet, there is nothing announced more important than the cessation of a silly etiquette. The mem random of the War-office is not osten sibly pointed at any higher result than the rectification of a great injustice, which denied to so many veteran soldiers the honours and privileges of their well-won grades. If the re form,stopped short here, however, little would be gained. Changes more important will soon follow, which must ulti mately end in the important conclusion that we shall have a list of effective land officers capable of serving the public three or four times more numerous than before. Until now, whenever a position has been made for inviting the services of East 'ln dian officers in time of public exigency, the invariable answer has been, that out of India these gentlemen had no military rank at all ; how could it be expected that officers bearing the Queen's commissions could act with or under civilians I The Indian officers out of India were scarcely of as much account as the Yeomanry or the Militia. It was but natural ; under such circumstances, that the youngest cornet who ever docked the tail of his companion's charger, or the most buoy ant ensign who ever smashed the crockery of his brother offi cer, should indignantly refuse to listen to so shameless a pro position as that of companionship with the military Pariahs. To be sure, in Upper India, on the banks of the Indus, and elsewhere, the seniors of the mess had occasionally seen the fellows fight, but the rules of the service must not be in fringed. The Hon. Cornet Spoonbill, as he rocked about on his great black horse, regarded Messrs. Pollock, Outram, Mayne, and other civilians of that description, with justifiable professional disdain. The equalisatioit of rank and preoedence is the first step, and but the first step, in the right direction. If we are not mistaken, officers of all ranks and of all arms in the regular army, save those who have seen Indian service, have a great deal to learn from Indian officers. In saying this we me them no disparagement. With the likd advantages, with the like opportunities of service and chances of distinction, no doubt they would have attained the same point of professional advancement ; but the science of war is not to be acquired by young men who never saw a brigade drawn up. The great necessity of the present time—and, indeed, of all times in the history of a powerful empire—is that its rulers should at any given moment have the power of securing the services of officers fit for high military command—above all, of one officer fit for the highest command. As we stand at the present moment, we are compelled to choose between two categories of officers the old Peninsulars .and the young " know-nothings," The old Peninsular veterans who are to be produced upon the scene at all may be taken as a year or two on the sunny side of -70, t.o that we may calculate their military experience in the Pyinsula to have lasted until they have attained the ripe ago of 25. From the age of 25, or thereabouts, until this Crimean war they have not seen active service, so that unless there be some irocess for keeping veterans fresh it is to be presumed that t, : , Cy have not improved in the interval. When we have ex ha -sated the Peninsular list we are next compelled to turn to officcis who have not seen service at all, many of whom we most unfeignedly and sincerely believe will turn out excellent soldie.'s when an opportunity for gaining experience and dis playing ability has been afforded to them. Meanwhile, let no t these' gentlemen take it amiss if we say that, of all quali ties in the world, ability for high miliiary command is pre cisely the .3 ne which cannot be taken on trust. A man may be an excelk lit regimental officer, may be an unequalled dis ciplinarian, yet be entirely deficient in those higher mili tary qualities Of combination, foresight, and determination which constitute' the consummate military commander. Of course, if all officers in the service of a country are equally unknown to fame, the choice must be an afthir of chance ; but surely nothing can be more suicidal than teat policy which deliberately postpon, , s the claims of acknowledged merit to antiquated prejudice, class jealousy, or obstinate adherence to custom. Startling as the doctrine may appear in the ears of our friends at the Horse Qua rds, we must express a confident be lief that henceforth the selection of an English Commander-in- Chief to act in the field mw it be made from among Indian offi cers. It does not necessarily follow that he is to be what was kno'wu until the Ist of May As a Company's officer ; but, at least, he must be a man of Indian experience and Indian dis tinction. Unless the war with Russia should last long enough togiveusa t categoryoturn h Crimeanotfan ththe scenes of I -officers we have wart a d v i epo w si a tively nowhere else re for a supply of officers capable of exercising the most import antpriu principal employments . commands . itary it credited chief, ted th so at withwhi while the p Quartermaster General of the army in the Crimea has shown himself such a man a- , Sir Charles Trevelyan dew,' ibed, we have actually resident in London the very officer who ga thered Lord Gough's army tozether from all points of India, concentrated it at the necessary time and at the necessary place, supplied it with every requisite, and produced it in fighting order on the field ? That officer has been in London any time since autumn, but he was -of , no more account in the eyes of the good people at the Horse Guards than if he had been the commis voyageur of a French pomade establish ment. The same anomaly has met us at every turn, and de pp r r o i v b e a d b i u l i s ty o! he would sae have rvice services o v f e r t a e s d e r allie is t o h f e able a s n e e r n a , w w h h te e h , in h a a v l e l occurred in the Crimea. But then they were Indian officers ! (Front th,e Times of this day.) The explination of Lord Clarendon in the House of Lords last night has given official confirmation to that which rumour had already suggested with'regard to the details of the Con ference of Vienna. It appears that the &lies proposed to Russia two alternatives —one that the Euxine should be de clared a neutral sea, open to the commerce, and closed to the ships of war, of all nations ; the other, that the Russian force in that sea should be in some degree limited. The i-ius sian PleCip)tentaries rejected both these propositions, and afterwards made some counter-propositions of their own, which England,- France, and Austria unanimously agreed was inadmissible.. Still, however, Lord Clarendon is unable to tell us what course Austria is about to adopt. Count Buol considers that the means for obtaining peace are not wholly exhausted, and that it will be the especial duty of Austria to endeavour to discover some means of attaining that end con sist..nt with the engagement she has entered into with the other powers. This; then, is what we know with certainty of the present state of our foreign relations. We confess we read these revelations with feel ings of no small mortification. We cannot com mand the fortunes of war, though the most earnest advocate of our late and present Ministries must admit that we could have played much more boldly and fairly for success. But, if we do not carry on military operations like a wise or far sighted Power, we ought, at any rate, to conduct our nego tiations like a firm and magnanimous one. We have under taken to humble the Emperor of Russia. The very statesman whom we sent to Vienna has pu liely 'denounced his policy in terms seldom indeed applied by Ministers in public to the acts of crowned heads. After having, by his own language in Parliament, greatly embittered the quarrel, Lord John Russell broke up the Government of Lord Aberdeen because it did not carry on the war with sufficient vigour, and him self invited a vote of censure on conduct for which he was equally responsible with his colleagues. A new GoVernment was formed on the principle of pure Whiggism and a vigorous prosecution of the war, and the first act of this Government was to despatch Lord John Russell to Vienna to negotiate a peace. As if wore thoroughly to identify the Ambassador with the Ministry, he accepted on the road to Vienna the office of Secretary of State for the Colonies. Had not the country, then, a right to expect that a man so deeply con cerned in the commencement, so entirely committed to the objects, and so strictly pledged to the vigorous prosecution' of the war, would submit no propositions derogatory to the dignity of the country, or compromising the principles upon which England and France engaged in hosti Wes? Yet we find Lord John Russell at Vienna offering terms to Russia which, if accepted by her, would render useless all the sacri fices which England and France have hitherto made, and leave the undisputed supremacy of the Euxine in the hands of Russia. We offered to make peace, if Russia would limit the number of her ships in the Black Sea; but what gua rantee could we possibly exact that these terms, if conceded, would he faithfully observed ? Who could prevent Russ a from holding in readiness in the naval stations which she posses- es on her great rivers any number of ships which she chose to build, ready to be armed and manned 'whenever the moment of final action should arrive Z . While England and France are united, present events prove that it is in their power absolutely to annihilate the Russian 'naval preponderance in the Euxine ; but, if these Powers were un happily divided, nothing could prevent Russia from gaining that preponderance in a moment, and tearing into pieces the treaty which so idly sought to check it. Fortunately for the dignity of this country, Russia, in the plenitude of her arro gance, refused these overtures, and left us to seek for other terms still more conciliatory, in order to mitigate her resent ment at our interference on behalf .of a nation which she bad marked o'd'or her victim The immediate dander is past, but we have a right to ark why, after this insulting rejection of terms which should never r PRICE SD. to the deck.

The 98th (23d Leger) made here a brilliant debut. The enemy gave way after a very sharp fire, which did not cause our men to retreat even for a moment. These ambuscades were occupied and destroyed like those on the right. "Protected by this vigorously conducted double' operation, the engineers were enabled to complete their levels and push on their works with activity. A new parallel was formed ; we propose to turn it to great advantage. "In this nocturnal affair, which was very brisk, and } which does the greatest honour to our troops, we had 40i men killed, of whom 4 were officers, and 117 wounded. "As regards our approaches on the Flagstaff Bastion the effects of the enemy's artillery, acting at a very short distance, almost rendered them impossible, or at least; they were only practicable at a considerable loss. Undexl these circumstances we endeavoured to form a trench, half-way between our own parallel and the salient of tli4 bastion with the assistance of our mines, which bad beeil conveniently placed for that purpose.

The engineer officers and sappers were immediately enabled to lodge themselves in an ire; mense fosse, of au av e r age d ept h o f f our metres, the post session of which was not disputed by the enemy. Their troops lined the fortification, and kept up a sharp fire of musketry and caution, " Our mortars, on their part, sent a shower of bombs upon the thickly-massed troops ; and I am informed by a non-commissioned officer who deserted that the garri son there suffered considerable loss. Our workmen, though id a difficult position, worked actively all the night on the disputed ground to conip!ete as much as possible the crowning of the shaft, and to connect the new trench with the third parallel. That night the tro cps continued their labour with ardour ; 100 picked men of the 74th now occupy this fourth parallel during the day.

The adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Paddington station, to consider some railway bills now before Parliament, promoted by other companies ; Mr. C. Russell in the chair. Mr. STEVENSON read the notice convening the meet ing, and the short titles of six bills submitted in com pliance with the *handing orders of the House of Lords. The CHAIRMAN explained that two out of the six bills were approved at the l as t mee ting, and he was pre pared on the present occasion to submit only two more —the Cornwall and South Wales Bill. The bill relating to the Plymouth Great Western Docks contained no clauses in reference to the Great Wester', Railway Corn paoy, and they would therefore withdraw it. The bill for the extension to Brentford was not sufficiently ad vanced in Parliament to submit it to the proprietors, aud they would therefore have to adjourn the meeting to consider it ou another day. He concluded by ruovin; a formal resolution approving a hill for extending the time for the completion of the Cornwall Railway and works, and for making further pi...visions as tr its share capital, and for leasing the line to the Great Western, Br,stuland Exeter, and South Devon - Railway companies. Lord BARRINGTON seconded the motion, and If was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a formal resolution, ap proving " a bill to consolidate and aurend the acts re lating to the South Wales Railway Company, and to authorise the ccnstruction of new works and alteratienq of existing works ane for other purposes." Lord BARRINGTON seconded the motion, which, after some explanation, was carried unanimously. The Plymouth Great IVestern Docks Bill was with drawn, and the meeting was adjourned to the 17th of M:,y for the purpose of considering the last bill on the list, for making a railway from Southal to Brentford, and docks at the latter place. The meeting then separated. mea,ure. " Ta the right, on the side of the Malakhoff Tower, the superiority of our artillery has also been main tained, but without succeeding in sileneng that of the besieged, except, however, in the two works of counter approach of Careen mg Battery, which have not fired a gun for the last two oays. In this part of our attack, as in the other, we advance slowly, perfecting our exist ing trenches, and leaving nothing to chance.

The Moniteur also publishes the following : " BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, April 16.—Monsieur "le Marechal,- r General Eizot has just succumbed, at the very moment that I received assurances from all sides that he was out of danger. " This death is truly a public calamity, a grief for the whole army. Gettetai Bizot enjoyed the most deserved popularity. He pushed his love of duty almost to fana ticism, and for six months we have seen him day and night at work, displaying in the midst-of the most ar duous difficulties the most extraordinary calmness, deci sion, tenacity, and serenity. All our soldiers knew him ; they admired his zeal, his dashing courage, and they were surprised at seeing him return every day from the trenches after confronting danger with a recklessness and gaiety which gave a peculiar stamp to his courage .and character. "I should never end. M. le Mardehal, if I were to repeat to-you here all that this excellent man was to us, and the regret we feel at his loss.

Everywhere the population crowded the churches to thank God for having so visibly protected France, and to pray to him to preserve days so precious. "Although the Emperor has expressed the desire that on this occasion no official address shall be presented to him, his Majesty could nut behold without being deeply mo Jed this unanimous and spontaneous manifestation of the sentiments'of the nation.

THE FRENCH BALTIC FLEET. Rear-Admiral Penaud, the French commander-in chief, with a port on of his fleet, arrived in the Downs yesterday from Cherbourg. The Fre.:ch admiral has his flag on the screw ship Tourville, and he has with him the Austerlitz and Duquesne, screw ships of the line, and the screw corvette D'Assaei. THE WHITE SEA SQUADRON. Captain Baillie, of the Meander, 44, now in the Downs, was in town yesterday making preparations for proceeding at once to the White Sea, to commence operations on the Rus sians in that quarter. The Phmnix, 9, screw, Commander Hayes, and Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Luce, accompany the Meander. The squadron is quite ready to depart as soon as Captain Baillie has received his orders. Doubtless in the White Sea, as well as in the Baltic, the enemy will be better prepared to meet us than they were last year. It would h e been better, perhaps, if Captain Baillie had been supplied with a couple of gun-boats. LAND FORCES FOR THE BALTIC, Orders have been issued for the line-of-battle-ships St. George, 120 , Neptune, 120 ; Powerful, F 4 ; Calcutta, 84, now lying at Spithead, under orders for particular service, to be held ready to embark a division of the French troops from the encampment at Boulogne to co-operate with the allied fleet in the Baltic. The Foreign Legion, Lein .. embodied and trained at Heligoland, will also furnish about 10,00 J men for this service. THE GLATTON FLOATING BATTERY. The rig of the Glatton floating battery, now in dry dock at Sheerness, has undergone a third alteration, considered more appropriate for taking her across the North Sea. She is not to take her armament on hoard until she arrives in the Baltic. Her iron plates for covering her deck will not be put on board until she gets up the Baltic. Much discussion has arisen among profe-sional men as to the certainty of the iron plates, when expended from heat, dr.wing or breaking through their fastenings in taking their curve by expansion, the joints and butts being quite close. An es ; ecial survey has been held by Admiralty order. The most serious defect is the leaky state of the vessel, as a considerable removal of material must take place to ascertain the cause.

ENGLISH CAMP, HEIGHTS OF SEBASTOPOL, Arnim 17. The mines which the French sprung under the Flag staff Battery (Bastion de Mars), the particulars of which I mentioned in my last letter, were made, not only with a view of injuring the work, but also for the purpose of throwing up sufficient loose earth to enable' them to rush in with their gabions and endeavour to effect a lodgment close to the battery. This latter attempt, on the night of the 156, was only very partially successful. They , ' succeeded in filling several of the gabions, and throw ing up a kind of breastwork, but the musketry fire from the Flagstaff was too hot to enable them to remain there and complete it. Yesterday night they renewed the attempt, and nearly completed a strong breastwork breastwork before they were discovere d b enemy, when they again retired.

Our troworks ops remained in possession of th e trench unmolested for a short time after the enemy had retired. The batteries then opened, and knowing doubtless the precise range; we suffered severely from some of the shells, and the round shot also injured the new work, but not to any seri ous extent. After the cannonade had continued about half an hour a few skirmishers , again approached the trench, no doubt in the expectation of finding it evacusted ; but, on discovering that we still maintained our posts, they beat a Precipitate retreat, and the men were no further inter fered with for the rest of the night. The total loss to the English in this affair was sixteen men killed, and 29 wounded. While this struggle was going forward on the right a strong and sudden attack was made upon the lodgment which the French had effected in the Flagstaff Battery on the extreme left. Our allies appear ,to have been slightly taken by surprise, as, after a brief resistance, they Were compelled to abandon their lodgment, and fall back upon the first breastwork, which they threw up immediately after the mine was sorting.

The attack on the r ifl e - p i ts on the night of m the 19th was more severe in its rents than was at first supposed ; 2 officers and 21 men were killed, and 5 officers and 30 men, it is said, are wounded. Last night another attack was made upon the second rifle pit. At the first symptom of our advance the Rus sians fled with precipitation, and abandoned their post to our men, who instantlyoccup'ed it. Later in the night a considerable number of the enemy's skirmishers came down, and between them and our men in.the pits some hot volleys were exchanged. A desultory skirmishing fight was maintained in this manner for three or four hours, when the Russians, having sustained considerable loss, again withdrew. In this affair our casualties were heavy, but by no mears equal.to the loss of the night before. AR yet I have heard of no officer being either killed or wounded. Last night orders were sent down to measure the steamers in Balaklava, to ascertain the stowage for troops. It is rumoured that an expedition to Yalta is intended, so as to take the Russian defences round Tchourgoum in the rear. THE TURKISH ARMY IN THE CRIMEA: -______..._ • , TURKISH CAMP, HEIGHTS ABOVE BALAKLAVA, April 20th.—Yesterday the Turkish corps gave the first signs of its existence here by taking part in a reconnaissance, which was undertaken towards the valley of the Tchernaya. • They took- one day's provi-ions with them, and they marched down in silence towards Balaklara. When ar rived there they halted fnna moment„.and thin bega n to ascend the steep mountain road which le ids up to the heights on the east of Balaklava. After having passed Vie list sentinel on the road the avant-garde, formed of the Chasseurs and a battalion of the 6th Regiment, under the command of Colonel Ogil vie, advanced carefully, exploring the country and on copying the heights on both sides of the road, whiht the rest of the infantry, the mountain guns, and half a rocket battery which had been lent by the French, fol lowed in a long line. The avant garde halted on the slope on which the rop.d divides, and Omer Pasha, with his staff, came up, in company with General Estcourt. The road to the right was explored, but no trace of the enemy seen any where. , At the village of Samara, near the church, a squadron of Cossacks--the first trace of the enemy—were seen lounging about in careless security, from which they were awakened by the sound of a few rockets which were sent down among them, and which induced them to retreat towards a, solitary mamelon, situated behi n d Samara, towards the river b e d o f the Tchernaya. The Chasseurs were sent down and occupied the church and the wall around it. Their tirailleurs took up a position along the Woronzow-road, which runs close behind the •rillage. At the name time our cavalry was seen to ap proach from Balaklava in two columns. The English cavalry, with the 10th Hussars in front farming the right, and the French and Turkish cavalry forming the left. The Russians did not wait for them, but slowly re. tired over the Tohernaya and occupied the road leading up behind the village of Tchorgoum. The Chasseurs followed them down to the river, where the Comeau, who, contrary to their habits, had scarcely fired a shot, gave a harmless volley. As there 3emed to have been no intention to push for xard the reconnaissance the order for retreating was given, and the troops marched back through the plain, bringing with them three lances, one of which was pointless, which had hem left behind, besides a quantity of salad which was found in the church of Damara. The Chasseurs d'Afr'que, with their usual carefulness, took likewise wood with them from the hovels of the Cossacks. It is rumoured to-day, in the Turkish camp, that the Cossacks have been more successcul, as they caught an English commissariat . fficer, who, with two companions, had remained• after the withdrawal of the troops. I cannot tell you how far this may be true. APRIL 21. Last night the watch-fires 'of the Russians shone much brighter than they for some time have der e, and appre hemioris seem to h've been enter d of an a'fack, so the Turkish am kg went out at dawn and exchanged a few shots with the Cossack; but did not see any trace of an army.
