GREAT REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF "THE SUN," FROM FIVEPENCE-HALFPENNY FOURPENCE. FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION. In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers the public in all large cities and towns to which parcels are forwarded by the News-Agents, The Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half penny for the Latest Edition, containing Parliamentary Debates of the same even ing, together with the List of Army and Navy Promotions in the London Gazette, with Official Despatches from the Seat of War, the Latest Sporting, and all other Commercial News, List of Bankrupts, &C., &c., can now be had for Fourpence, being a saving of nearly one-third. Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions posted after six o'clock were charged a fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office, which made the price to the Subscriber Fivepence-Il a i fp enny. This charge must still be made to those in remote places, unless the Postmaster -General have the magnanimity to forego such a paltry :.;ource!of revenue. Sum-office, 112, Strand, Loudon, 9th July, 1855. ~. j ~ ~~1 Mf ((Ve SUIT, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1855. It is said that the Mother of the AUTOCRAT has recently addressed a very urgent letter to the Mother of the German EMPEROR, reminding her of the assistance afforded by Russia during the hour of Austria's trial, and imploring that she will in return make " Austria continue to main tain the propositions already proposed by her at the Conferences of Vienna, and approved, accepted, and defended by the English and French P lenipotentiaries." There •is a verisimilitude about th© rumour that induces us to yield it an easy credence. It seems to be consi lered by despotic rulers that the interests of the nations are matters of secondary consideration, and quite subordinate to the wishes and feelings of the members o f t h e reigning families. Royal marriages are contracted solely with this view. We have seen already some of the results in the conduct of Prussia, where a decisive and straight forward course on the part of p immit ICK WILLIAM would have brought the War to a s peedy conclu- I sion, and restored peace and tran • • quillity to Europe. B u t a lthough " nations may have cousins," d es p o ti c monarchs are differentl no y cir cumstanced, and " the good Clicquot," the Angel of Peace," as the person whose va • ating imbecility occasioned the destruction of myri • ads of human beings, and protracted all the miseries of war was irreverently termed, preferred sacri ficing the honour and ' • position of his country to thwarting the imperious will of his brother-in law, or preventing his neph ew f rom pursuing the footsteps of PETER and CATHERINE, Of ALEXANDER and of NICHOLAS, and carrying out the traditional aggressive policy of Russia. Th u curtain has now risen on a second act of the drama. We see one elderly lady writing to another resp acting a subject of the most vital im portance to humanity, on which the very stability of the Austrian empire may depend, as if it were a mere village question, only affecting the neighbouring squires, and in which the garru lous old women of the respective families might properly intermeddle. The Empress- Mother of Russia would doubtless think it very strange if the Austrian Archduchess should reply that it was a subject on which she could not possibly interfere, and that, however friendly might be the private feelings of FRANCIS JOSEPH to ALEXANDER, it could not affect a great ques tion of international and European interest, or exonerate Austria from the performance of sacred obligations which she had solemnly and delibe rately undertaken. In Russia the will of the Monarch is supreme. It knows no limits. She herself could assail her son with solicitations—to which theAuTocßATmight yield if he thought proper, and she sees no reason why the Archduchess should not act in a similar manner ! Nor is there ! It is one of the incidents of Germanic as well as of Muscovite despotism, and we fear that other and no less striking illustrations of the objection able system will yet be brought to light. The request of the Empress-Mother contains more than meets the eye at the first glance. It is not merely for " neutrality"—that has already been secured at the sacrifice of Austrian consist ency and Austrian faith. It seeks more— something analogous to the aid supplied by Russia in 1848—a direct and energetic demonstration, supported by physical force ; and we confess that we should not feel greatly surprised if it were successful. Austria must feel that she has placed herself in a false position—that she has earned for herself the indignant contempt of every right minded man. She cannot, under the pecu liar circumstances of the case, maintain neutrality ; and as she has broken with the Western Powers, and as it is merely in accord ance with human nature to hate those who have previously been wronged, we should not feel greatly surprised if she openly joined Russia. And, we confess, that we should not be greatly displeased if such were the case, inasmuch as we believe that her avowed enmity would be far less danger ous than her pretended friendship. She will do so—if not restrained by timidity. We have always felt and declared that we owed much more to her fears than her good will, and that were it not for the considerations ex cited by the talismanic words " Poland, Hungary, Lombardy," we should long since have had to encounter Austrian as well as Muscovite troops. Wo have hinted that there may be a third act of the drama, that " other and no less striking illustrations of the objectionable system may yet be brought to light." The third act may possibly relate to " COBURGISM." We have seen that the ULYSSES of the House of Coburg, who owes everything to his connexion with the Royal Family of England, has main tained a very suspicious reserve ; from which it it is manifest that he thinks more of the existing ties that connect him with Vienna than of those with which ho is bound to England. If he were really sincere, why might he not have acted in the same manly and straightforward manner as the King of SARDINIA ? He has not done so, although the position of his Kingdom might have rendered it DO less a matter of policy than it ought to be of principle to do so. On the contrary, we have had his visits, in which it is by no means impos sible that he may have been acting the part of the Empress-Mother of Russia, in striving to per suade one closely connected with the Throne to use unconstitutional influence in favour of Russia and of Austria. Such things are possible ; and, if brought to light, they may not be very favour ably received by the British nation. In our impression of yesterday we alluded to a rumour that the Black Sea Fleet is about to be made available for active operations against Se bastopol, aid that the plan which we suggested last as to a combined assault by sea and land is at length to be carried into execution. We trust that it may be so. From the very beginning we indicated it as the mode by which a brilliant triumph might be achieved. But little, if anything, has yet been done. And since the first day of the bombardment, more than nine months ago, our magnificent fleet has, so far as Sebas- topol is concerned, remained mere idle spec tators of the siege. It was always held by Lord NELSON that where there was space for an enemy's ship, there was always room alongside for an English vessel ; and, we may add, that if there be a way left for the Russian ships to get out, there would also be a channel for the Allied Fleets to get in ! Sir EDMUND LYONS is one who, if unfettered by secret instructions from " My Lords," will nobly and efficiently do his devoir. The gallant sailor—and he is every inch a true British sailor —must bitterly chafe at his forced inaction. He already, on the Vith of October, afforded unequivo cal evidence of the stuff that was in him, and, we believe, that in such a course as that above suggested he would be enthusiastically followed by every officer and man in the English, aye, and in the French fleet. He got within a few hundred yards of the chief forts, and he could, without greater danger or greater loss, have got in and taken measures to destroy the scanty remainder of the Russian fleet in the harbour where they were skulking. Had they done so there might have been a very different result on the 18th of June. Th e Russian war -steamers could not have ma nceuvred with so much effect, or thrown in so destructive a fire against the assailants of the Malakhoff and the Redan ; and Sebasto might ere this have been in our hands ; and the standing menace to Constantinople and to Europe either completely demolished or h eld b y the Allies as " a material guarantee" against Russia. At Bomarsund last year it was shown what a combined operation by land and water could effect ; and the great problem of wood v. granite ceived a very decisive solution. - Why has not the experiment been repeated ? If it were, we are convinced that the result would be equally satisfactory, that the resources of the garrison being divided, there would be a victory at each point, where either singly might fail. It is quite certain that the Russian shi ps I could not, under such circumstances, direct their fire against the assaila do ntstobtyaklae renc da,thofatthm, they e would have quite enough to selves without any diversion to the landward. When this feasible attempt is made—when Sir EDMUND LYONS is permitted to follow the dictates of his own gallant heart—to seek for " a Peerage or Westminster Abbey," we shall be sa ti s fi ed that the Government are d e t er mined to carry on th e W ar i n earnes t, an d that there is no lon ger any prospect of truckling to Austria or of subs erv i ently yielding to the interference of Cobur g i sm or Germanism. It i s on ly sur p r ising , that such a step has we are convincedthas t n i o t t i s a n l r o e t a t d h y e f b a e u e l n t 0 t f a o k u e r n A . d ß m u i . t ral. Let it nowbe taken. Let the course we indicated nearly a year ago be followed, and we have but little doubt that the result will be such as we satisfactory to lung since predicted, and entirely every true-hearted Englishman and Frenchman — every one, in faot, untainted by the pro-Russian mania. A place unmentionable to ears polite is said to be paved with good intentions. The saying may be true or false, but in the happy absence of ac quaintance with the topography of the locale in question we may say, by way of confirmation of its truth, that analogy would lead us to believe it. With the best meaning in the world, there are many individuals who, unintentionally, do their best to annoy, impede, or render miserable everybody about them. In the domestic circle, in affairs of business, in the Church, and in the State their virtuous intentions are hardly to be gathered from the tendency of their actions. For tunately, however, it sometimes happens, by a merciful dispensation of PROVIDENCE, that indivi , duals of this class while permitted to carry about with them the bane, are compelled to dispense along with it, the antidote. They cannot be dan gerously mischievous, because it is their fate to be ridiculous. How far these remarks are applicable to the enlightened Legislator who objected to the Beer Bill being read a first time last night we leave the reader to determine for himself, simply remarking that it is not necessary to our purpose that they should closely dovetail with the particular facts. The hon. gentleman to whom we refer has, it is well known, a favourite hobby, to wit, a belief that " to eat grass like a horse," ' drink nothing but the ADAM'S specific, go to bed early and get up with the lark, comprises a good deal of 'the whole duty of man. Accordingly, he has taken care every session to remind the House that "early to bed and early to rise " is the way to make one " healthy, wealthy, and wise," by pressing a mo tion binding it over not to persist in " not going home till morning, till daylight does appear," and this without the remotest chance of success. Had this been all, though under all the circum stances there might be fair occasion for blame, considering the needless waste of valuable time it causes, and the fact that hon. members generally awake at about eleven in the evening to a capacity for business, we might have been contented with following the example of the House, to the extent of laughing behind the curtain at the sexagena rian vegetarian, and pointing a moral for the edification of young vegetarians from his fate. This, however, is not all. We have some little reason to think that his legislatorial dislikings have now and then been disingenuously sought to be subserved by an apparent indulgence of his hobby, and we are apprehensive this was the case last night. To desire the failure of a bill so impera tively called for as the Beer (Amendment) Bill was foolish enough to raise doubts of a man's sanity. Reasons of state, as well as consider ations of justice and mercy, preponderated -10 kicking the beam in favour of the measure being rapidly passed. In the thick of a mighty contest, and the interval between two Parliamentary ses, sions, it was no minor duty to amend a law that hebdomadally stimulated the industrial, popula tion to discontent by its infringements on their liberties and comforts. Nor at any time could a law be amended too soon that, instead of encou raging the people to temperance, goaded them to dissipation. Not only, however, did the Hon. Member desire this, but he took up also, if we are not mistaken, the disingenuous step of opposing the going of the bill being brought in because of the lateness of the hour. Of course his opposition failed, and he was laughed at ; but his want of success, and the ridicule attaching to him do not render it the less necessary to express disapproba tion of such conduct. It may not prove dan gerously mischievous when witnessed, but with his high moral character the record of it, unac companied by rebuke, might. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.-July 26.

The Prussian officers who had entered. the Tur kish service as instructors have returned to Berlin, having been compelled to definitively renounce the employments which they held in Turkey. A letter of Berlin, of the 23d, in the Lithographed Correspondence, says :—" Little hope is now enter tained of re-establishing the treaty of commerce be tween Belgium and the Zollverein. The commercial relations between the tv. o countries have not ceased to increase even since the treaty has expired. Ac cording to a report of the Prussian consul-general at Antwerp, these relations will - meet with no I interruption so long as the tr:.nsit of the merchan dise of the Zollverein th:ough Belgium shall remain free, and the vessel: of the Zollverein be not sub jected to highe:i port dues than those of Belgium. Several BCAgian commercial journals have declared that Iff,elgium has no interest in the re-establish- EC.ent of the treaty." A letter from Berlin, of the 24th, says :—" M. von der ileydt, the Prussian Minister of Commerce, has just sent an order from Paris to organise plea sure trains, at reduced prices, for the French capital." The Empress Dowager of Russia will, it is said, accompany the Prince of Prussia on his return to Berlin. The Hanover Gazette states, in a letter from Ber lin of the 24th, that it was probable that the Diet, at its next sitting, would definitively terminate the affair relative to the Austrian declaration. The difficulty raised by the representative of Bavaria has been Lremoved by instructions which he has received to accede to the resolution of the Diet, to which the other members of that assembly had al read y agreed, THE PARIS EXHIBITION AND THB SOCIETY OF ARTS. His Royal Highness prince Albert has suggested, in the following letter to the council of the Society of Arts, the propriety of their visiting the Paris Exhibition, ac companied by the associated institutions, now, we be lieve, amounting to nearly 400 " Osborne, July 23, 1855. "My dear Sir,—ilis Royal Highness the Prince having considered the subject, which seems to have been under discussion in the council of the Society of Arts—namely, that of the society visiting the Paris Exhibition in a body, and, if possible, together with the delegates from the 400 associated institutions—has commanded me to express to you his conviction that much benefit would arise from the execution of this plan to the many impor tant and useful objects which the society is constituted to promote. " The prominent part taken by the society in originating the Great Exhibition of 1851, naturally suggests the wish that its members should visit together its sequel at Paris. " The point, however, to which his Royal Highness would attach most importance would be their being en abled by a close inspection of that vast collection of the products of all nations, and a conscientious comparison of them with those of the Exhibition of 1851, advantageously to discuss together with the members of the affiliated so cieties the question by what means the progress of science and art would best be promoted in this country. "The visit would also afford an opportunity of testing the principles upon which the acknowledged great improve ments lately made in the French metropolis have been car ried on, and considering how far they may with advantage be applied to our circumstances at home. " Sincerely yours, " P. Le Neve Foster, Esq." "C. B. PHIPPS. The council of the Society of Arts are now making arrangements to carry out the plans recommended to them by his Royal Highness the Prince President of the society. We are informed the visit will take place early in September, and that facilities for the trip to Paris and back will be afforded by the railway companies. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN.

The latter has been reinforced, but nothing of import ance had taken place. The order to attack Revel was still looked for. NYBORG, FRIDAY. The French war steamers Aigrette, Fulminante, Drawonne, and Abaranche, arrived to-clay, and proceeded to Kiel. HELIGOLAND, FRIDAY. The immediate construction of a citadel is in tended. The plans and estimates have been sent to London. FRANKFORT, THURSDAY. The Diet accepted to-day the Austrian proposal as brought before it on the 19th instant, with the additional three points proposed by Prussia. We have received from St. Petersburg Prince Gortschakoff's account of the general posture of affairs to the 10th inst. He observes that the besiegers are opening new trenches, raising the height and increasing the strength of the parapets ©f their batteries, and opening new embrasures ; and that, on the other hand, his loss has been moderate, and that the sorties of the 7th and Bth were very successful. Prince Labanoff Rostovsky writes from Genitchi that on the 27th ult. 9 steamers came in sight of that place, and next day a screw steamer and a gun-boat approached and opened fire on a convoy of salt waggons, several of which were burnt. From the 28th of June to the 2d of July he says the squadron kept up a constant bombardment of Genitchi, and the boats detached from it set on fire the farms to a distance of 30 versts. On the sth of July the squadron left. The Prince says the Genitchi detachment has since been rein forced, and the bridge of Tchongar has been pro tected by new fortifications. He further mentions a visit of an enemy's steamer to Petroasky, near Berdiansk. A eannonade was kept up for 4 hours and a half. The Russians had ono officer and six men wounded. Seventeen houses and a church were injured. The frigate had been joined by four steamers on the 25th ult., when the report left. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. 'lto following private telegraphic despatches were received in Paris yesterday : " CRIMEA, 25th, 3 p.m.—After a sharp fire from their artillery, the enemy about midnight made a sortie by the left of the small Redan. As we are very close to them, it only took them a few minutes to arrive at our gabionade. They were very warmly received by the foot chasseurs of the Imperial Guard, and by some com panies of the 10th regiment of infantry of the line. The Russians hastily retired, abandoning eight killed and some wounded between our works and their own. The darkness of the night allowed them to remove the re mainder. This affair does honour to Lieutenant-Colonel de Taxis of the infantry, and to Capt. Lecucq of the engineers. General Bisson was in command of the trenches. " DANTZIC ; 27th.—The Lightning steamer has just arrived. She left the allied fleets on the 24th at Nargen. The combined fleets at the Island of Nargen bad been increased by reinforcements from England and France, but they bad not yet undertaken anything on the coast. At the departure of the English steamer nothing import ant had taken place. " MADRID; 26th.—Reports, but entirely without foun dation, are again carrent of France having wished to form a Bpanieh Legion for service in the Crimea, The men belonging to the band of the brothers Hierros have sent to demand pardon. The cholera is stationary ; general tranquillity prevails." The Emperor arrived at Biarritz at noon yes terday, and the Empress at about six o'clock in the evening, from Eaux Bonnes. The health of their Majesties is excellent. The Messager of Bayonne, of the 25th, says : " A body of 150 men belonging to the 35th regi ment of the line have left this place to-day for Biarritz, to act as a guard of honour to their Ma jesties. They will occupy the wood barracks estab lished near the Imperial residence. The band of the 9th Hussars is also to proceed there, and to remain during their Majesties' stay." The Moniteur contains a decree promulgating the Consular Convention concluded on the Bth ult. between France and Holland. The official jour nal, after giving the above, makes the following remarks : "This treaty, which is intended to fix the positions of the consuls in the colonial possessions of the two coun tries, will be received with satisfaction in our commercial ports. The absence of agents specially charged to pro tect our interests in the rich Dutch colonies in the Indian Archipelago and the Straits of Sunda (and the import duties on the productions of which latitudes have just been reduced in France) has frequently led to disputes. The captains of our merchant vessels have certainly had re complaint to make of a want of courtesy on the part of the Dutch authorities, wh), on the contrary, have always acted with the greatest impartiality ; yet they have frequently had to regret the absence of an agent specially appointed to protect them—a want which will be supplied by the present convention. The treaty in question is based on principles of perfect reciprocity, conferred on the consuls of the two nations in their re spective possessions, and these functionaries will be in vested with all the powers necessary for the support and protection of their fellow-countrym en , whenever th e y i may stand in need of t." The Courier de Marseille publishes the following letter, dated from the Plain of Baidar, the 12th:— "The main body of the division of cavalry, com manded by General d'Allonville, is encamped on the banks of the river, near a pretty village most delight fully situated. The inhabitants have recovered from their first alarm, and come and visit our camp, and do not conceal their preference for us over the Russians. It is the same in all the villages through which we pass; the Tartars collect acd follow us with visible satisfaction. The women, who were at first timid, do not now fly at our approach, but stand at their doors, or if they retire for form's sake, it is only behind hedges where they can readily see and be seen. On the first day of our reconnais sance the Tartars presented coffee to the general, and brought refreshnaents for the men of his guard. Every day we see families return who had quitted their homes at the commencement of our little campaign ; and they quietly resume their former labours. Among their fur niture and utensils, there are some very curious forms, and which are doubtless very ancient. All the forage of the oountry has been purchased and conveyed to the main camp, and it was more particularly for this im portant operation that the division has occupied this part of the country. A great quantity of timber for building has also been cut down and sent to the camps before Sebastopol." BOURSE, JULY 27.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. e.

According to a letter sent from Vienna to the Journal de Frankfort a misconception has existed as regards the movement of troops between Aus tria and Upper Italy. The troops belonging to the army of Lombardy, which bad been tempora rily summoned to Austria have now returned, or are returning, to their former quarters, and this, the latter says, has given rise to a belief that the Austrian Government was sending reinforcements to its Italian provinces. The Carlshruhe Gazette states that, according to reports which appeared to be well founded, the delay for the mobilisation will be extended from a fortnight to a month, and that the Governments will consequently be able, to a certain extent, to effect that the Bank directed li ghten the military burdens imposed on their countries. The Presse of Vienna mentions a rumour which was current at the Exchange on the 20th, to the adds that M. de BruckfhVals.esninganifiheaddtot by the Government to ent to reduce its discounts ; it o f the Bank that the sum total of its discounts beenhe directors must be reduced - to what it was at the beginning of the year, viz., 72 millions of florins (the florin is about 2 francs). This would cause a reduction of 11 millions of florins. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC', JOURNAV. (Prom the Times of this day.) it is related by oie of our correspondents, on the Authority of a private letter from Vienna, that a pressing appeal has lately been addressed by the Empress-Mother of Russia to the Archduchess Sophia, mother of the reigning Emperor of Austria, conjuring her, by the re collection of former serviees ken.clered by the trnperor Nicholis.s to Austria, to make Austria maintain the pro• positions of Count Buol at the late conference—propo sitions approved, it is true, by Lord John Russell and ivi. Drouyn de I'Huys, but rejected without hesitation by the Western Governments. Without vouching for the truth of this anecdote, it is at least a probable oc currence, and it denotes the change which has undoubt edly taken place in the relations of Russia and Austria within the last few weeks, The gloomy and reproach ful air of mistrust which was worn at St. Petersburg towards the agents of the Austrian Government has been thrown aside; the large assemblages of Russian troops on the Ponsh frontier have been dispersed and moved off towards the Crimea, ; every artifice of flat tery, cajolery, and corruption is again employed in the German Courts, from Vienna to Carlsruhe ; and among the partisans of Russia in Germany a cry may already be heard that the worst is now over, since the union of the German States with the Western Powers is dissolved, and that the next step will be to throw the military strength of Germany into the opposite scale. We are not ignorant of these things ; we are not indifferent to these things ; on the contrary, we know the cause of them, we measure their extent, and we aro prepared for their consequences. The rupture of the conferences of Vienna Marks an epoch in the present war, for it wasthere that the last and greatest war was made by the Western Powers to obtain from Austria the fulfilment of her engage ments, even at the cost of considerable sacrifices to the German alliance. Lord Clarendon had said in his ad mirable instructions to Lord John Russell on his pro ceeding to Vienna, that "if peace could not be arrived at, it was her Majesty's most earnest desire to see the great Powers of Europe arrayed in a combined effort against Russia, not only because such a league would most probably lead to a termination of the existing con test, but because an assurance would thereby be obtained that the termination of the war would place on a solid and secure basis the general interests of all Europe." We all know how these hopes have been disappointed. We have seen hove it came to pass that the German States, one after another, increasing the relative weak ness instead of upholding their mutual strength, fell short of the policy they had themselves approved, and subsided into that neutrality and dependence on Russia which they at first disavowed. But, although this policy has not been successful, it does honour to the efforts and the temper of the Western Powers, and, whatever may hereafter be the result of these differences, it will stand recorded that the Governments of France and England omitted nothing which could serve to identify their cause with the general interests of Europe, and even offered to make any sacrifice for the restoration of peace short of their own consistency and honour. We do not, for ourselves, regret that these disinterested exertions were made, although they have not been rewarded as they deserved to be. On the contrary, if they had not been made, the British Government might have been accused of neglecting its former allies. The t, a,s matters now stand, we have ascertained beyond all further dispute the real value of these German alliances. In a cause in which the interests of Germany and the independence of Europe are more nearly engaged than the separate interests of Great Britain, after numerous protocols and treaties had been signed by these German States abso lutely identifying ourselves with the course of our policy and the objects of the war—when nothing was needed but the combined resolution of Germany, acting in con cert with ourselves, to restore peace on a solid and secure basis, we have found the secret sympathies of the rulers of Germany turned against us, we have seen them with matchless duplicity serving the policy which they affected to condemn, and we have learned that the people of Ger many, though not on the whole approving the dishonesty of their Governments, are tco feeble or too apathetic to control the course of public affairs. Such, then, is the state of Germany—lower, it must be confessed, in every respect than could be imagined, although we were aware that the debauch of 1848 had left behind it very general traces of nausea and debility. The Emperor Nicholas was, after all, not altogether wrong when he expressed to Sir Hamilton Seymour his opinion that Austria had only to learn his will to obey it, and that Prussia deserved no mention at all. With a generous feeling of sympathy for the Germans we repelled that withering sarcasm, which blotted out 40,000,000 of men from the policy of Europe. But the Czar was right ; he had nothing to apprehend from them. Of the internal government o a country of which such things can be said without contradiction it is not our business to speak. But its foreign policy is a matter of general interest, and we are led to the conclusion that the ten dency of that policy is, first to withdraw entirely the support which was at first tendered to the Western Powers, and ultimately, should occasion serve, to throw the weight of the German States against us under a pre tence of mediation. That may not now be their intention, but their intentions have very little to do with the matter. The affairs of Germany have been conducted throughout this contest by a foreign Power, and con ducted, we must say, with great ability for the purpose that Power had in view. To have dissolved the con federacy which at one time protested against the aggres sion of Russia, to have neutralised the treaty of the 2d of December, to have saved Poland from the danger of i n vasion, and perhaps of a war of independence, are re sults of which the diplomacy of Russia may be proud. That point once attained, we do not conceal from our selves the possibility that her increasing ascendancy will not stop where it is, and we have abundant evidence that the Courts of Germany are full of agents who are straining every nerve to turn the course of public opinion and of German policy against this country and France. We know not to what extent these machinations may succeed, but we'are on our guard against the worst they can accomplish. To maintain a position of strict and permanent neutrality in a contest like that which now divides the leading States of Europe is beyond the skill of any statesmen, and the mere act of shifting from one side to another is a sign of hostility. But, although we regret that Germany has failed to give the Western Powers that support which would have enabled them to terminate the war, the same internal divisions and evasive policy which have extinguished her influence as against Russia render her equally powerless against France and against ourselves. If the mere chance of a campaign on the Polish frontier sufficed to arrest the movements of an Austrian army of 200,000 men, in what condition is Germany to provoke the resentment of the maritime Powers ? We will go further, and assert that the loss of confidence and respect which the German Go vernments have already sustained in this country is a ma terial diminution of their security. The whole tendency of their policy for many years past has been to alienate themselves from England. The statesmen who laboured to cement the alliance have been sacrificed ; the pro• mises held out to the Germans of institutions more analogous to our own have been violated ; the press has been stifled ; and now, when a great occasion pre. .sents itself to enable us to unite in defence of European interests, every secret wish of the German Sovereigns points to the camp of the enemy. It is impossible that these facts should be lost upon the people of this coun try, and they are rendered more striking by the contrast between this state of things in Germany and the ener getic alliance which has sprung up between England and France, even under the absolute government of the Bonaparte dynasty. That same alliance was offered on the same terms to Austria and accepted by her, inso much that a military convention was prepared, honours and congratulations were exchanged between the two Imperial Courts, and it seemed as if the union of France and Austria was once more to regulate the affairs of contir ental Europe. But the Cabinet of Vienna stopped short in the course of policy it had professed to adopt, and France and England once more stand detached and independent in the conduct of the war. We, at least, have no reason to regret the change in our own interest, for it relieves us entirely and for ever from those pre tensions to conduct a mediation between the belligerents which some of the German statesmen have flattered themselves would fall to their lot. But the effect of such a position on Germany and German institutions is not a matter of indifference. She might a few months back have dictated peace to Russia by a bold and united display of her forces ; she has now become the tool of Russia so long as sh preserves her neutrality, and will be her victim when that neutrality is at an end. *We expect no change, we anticipate no improvement in her relations with ourselves, and, having laboured in vain to obtain her co-operation, the next thing is to pursue our enterprise without it. (From the Morning Post of this day. ) Sir Charles Napier is, no doubt, a gallant and merito rious officer ; but, unfortunately, the new character which he has chosen to reassume of a political agitator is little creditable either to his taste or dicretion. In our literature, any one can easily place his finger upon many inimitable pictures of the British sailor—Old Com modore Trunnion, for instance, who would not ride in the wind's eye, and his faithful attendant, Toni Pipes ; and the more modern and civilised heroes of Marryat and Chamier, not forgetting the illustrious Capt. Cockle of Charles Dickens. But no writer of fiction has ever endeavoured to portray that rare and mongrel speci men of a sailor—the sea politician ; and if Sir Charles Napier condescends to play such a part, with the addi tional attractions of party spite and disappointed vanity, he can neither be surprised, nor complain if his former services be temporarily forgoten, or if he be subjected to that criticism which his eccentricities naturally a n d irresistibly provoke. For the sake of making a speech, he yesterday appeared upon the hustings as a candidate for the borough of Southwark, knowing, of course, that he had not the remotest chance of being returned. What was the tone of the address of the gallant admiral? Was it such as becomes an officer of high rank in her Majesty's navy, who, according to his own notions, hav ing been slight ed or disgraced, is anxious to vindicate his honour in the face of his fellow-countrymen ? It was, we- regret to say, a mere exhibition of spleen and disappointment, utterly unworthy of the individual, though suited to a portion of the audience to whom it was addressed, who cheered on the gallant admiral with such choice expressions as these—" Go it, Charley— you're a jolly fellow, Charley." The gallant admiral, although he stated that he would not " stand a single sixpence, hire a carriage, or print an address," excused his interposition in the election by declaring " that Sir William Molesworth was one of the men who had ill used him. Sir W. Molesworth was one of the Adminis tration which had sacrificed him to that perfidious Minis ter, Sir James Graham." Sir Charles is rather ungene rous in thus stigmatising the right hon. member for Carlisle, for he forgets that his whole case has been sub nutted to Parliament during the present session by an able and learned advocate, and that he has had his say, although the right hon. baronet was compelled, by a regard for the public fiervice, to remain silent, Sir Charles .. . . f Iff says that the Government wanted -something to s-a e d .s and therefore they attacked him. But the), not only 1 this, h but they took his letters and perverted theinii'; ad did shamefully and disgracefully perverted thena--a ia ; ( - no hesitation in saying who was the man who visit it." Why, we may ask, should the gallant admiral 'll',. upon Sir William Molesworth the personal quarrel wh.lcl he has with the right honourable member for Carlislt.% Itis not necessary to follow the gallant admiral in his criticisms upon the Sebastopol Committee, the caolo,,lfe. in the Crimea, and the ret..ent operations in the Bsl'e r The moral of the whole is, that, if the advice of Pl_ Charles Napier, on every 'conceivable subject, b a d bel l ': implicitly followed, everything would have gone well. He sought an opportunity of self-laudation, an r • availed himself of it with his accustomed skill ; but or e thinly it is a little too bad in him to enter into all t h b° 3 s o details which he stated yesterday about our ge n. " ° ol y, and steam-batteries, which may be valuable to the e ne e t, should they happen to be strictly and literally Orrhiech With great conclesecension, "in the recent honour / 0 had been offered him, he acquitted her Majesty fro. s ~ desire to participate in the insult intended for W e i, adding, for the satisfaction of the mob of Southwer "that he Would rather have lost his right aria than IV raised it to allow the ribbon to be placed round his 9 e rn c ot o a declaration which was received with an ilue ° 7o,t, shout of "Bravo, Charley." The exhibition, we r L e r t l is was utterly unworthy of the gallant admiral ; u u t i g s another Minister is to appear on the Marylebone hu e I re to-day, and as Sir Charles once had the honour of re venting that borough, it is extremely likely that wineew for the sake of making another speech, repeat the rip g of yesterday, without "standing a singl e six Pence, hi a cab, or printing an address." (From the Morning Advertiser of this da?1;) w here It will be seen, from the account which We e lse. tbot give of the proceedings at the Southwark Election er all we yesterday stated respecting what migh t b Sir peeled to take place has been fully c onfirreed . ,,,if fiet Napier appeared on the hustings, and wen u' e - l o rtb• in nomination, in opposition to Sir Wm. golee - t or But he did not go to the poll, the shortness of th i s till allowed him to prepare for the contest precluttrol probability of success. But, though the Gallant doot did not proceed to the poll, he made, as we erePsirac readers to expect he would do, a bold an d tet s ' speech. He was unsparing in his censures on . 031° ; He denounced their ignorance, their incaPn e ` tj 'ar, i ° their culpability too, in connection with the ; - g terms which they are not in the habit of Il es ff w eP ° ., dressed to them.
