Thirteen months since we earnestly protested against the mode in which Lord ABERDEEN':. Government conducted the War, then recently declared against Russia. The only principle which the then Premier seemed to recogeise was to make the evils inseparable from hostilities, and to make them as little onerous even to our ad versary as possible. Russia was still to be enabled to carry on her trade and commerce with few im pediments, and to obtain the sinews of war, that of which she was in greater want than men, or what are usually termed " articles contraband of war," even from English coffers. It is true that our merchants could not directly deal with Russian subjects, or import the produce of Russia from Russian ports. But they were enabled to evade, with the greatest facility, every illusory restric tion, and to obtain, albeit by a circuitous route and at a small additional cost, all that they re quired. This extra cost did not fall on the Rus sian producers ; it was defrayed exclusively by the English consumers, and was divided between the Prussian agents and the persons engaged in the land carriage to the Prussian ports. Had the British Government bona fide determined to cripple the finances of Russia, and to induce Prussia to take a manly and decided part, they might have done so with a very trifling additioe to the inconvenience necessarily sustained by the consumers of Russian produce. But under the plausible pretext of averting this slight inconve nience—of preventing any unnecessary obstruc tion to trade and commerce--they provided the unscrupulous aggressor with the means of carrying on the contest and of persist ing in his untenable claims, while they held out a direct pecuniary inducement to Prussia to persevere in its pretended neutrality, and to avoid the honourable and decided course that would long since have led to an honourable and satisfac tory Peace. These have been some of the result:. of the very injudicious attempt of the late Go vernment---the elder Dromio—to wage "a rose water war," and to avoid any unnecessary injury to the enemy. e o Peeple now clearly perceive the grievous th then committed . They can directly trace C d ft rea ter,,:ortion of the calamities they have and, still , 4 _ enormous expenditure of money, the folly of t m e he s ir of the lives of their brethren, t( " senile" m i and the puerile—perhaps 2 138 attempts at t he mor e appropriate phrase— conciliation. proc lheziosi: ofid hostilities , bad rouble, which, at the fir s t bad been depreciated to the extent of 8017E18 16 pe: cent., recovered its value on the of the iil-advised order in Council, which declared that her MAJESTY would " waive the • right 0 seizing enemy's property laden on board neutral They also beheld with disgust and in. aignation the conduct of the Prussian Government. "which found the new trade created by the folly the British Cabinet too profitable to be willingly " Non old Nummus" was the motto of FREDERICK WILLIA3f, and so long as we conti nue t he inducement, so long will he parse- Tere in th e • clucreditable course he then adopted. Most unexpectedly be found a trade created which he had never previously possessed, which he held by no previous use or habit, but which sprung entirely from the War, and which he could never have enjoyed but for the maritime supremacy of the Western Powers, which enabled them practi cally to close up the Russian Ports. By his conduct in not merely permitting, buteven encouraging, his subjects to engage in that trade, to lend one of the belligerents the assistance she required, in order to exchange her produce for money, he practically neutralised the exertions of the Allied Fleets, and thus grossly violated the neutrality be professed to observe—a course that would long since have called down the punishment it so richly merited but for the undue truckling to "Germanism," which is so deeply to be deplored, and which has produced so many untoward re sults. We fully appreciate the patriotic motives which induced Lord ALBEMARLE to sever himself from those with whom he had previously been so long connected. The course adopted by the Noble Earl was that of a true-hearted English man, one who keenly felt the magnitude of the present emergency, and was resolved to spare no efforts— to refuse no sacrifice necessary to produce a just and honour able peace. For so doing he will obtain the thanks and gratitude of his countrymen, and, better still, the approbation of his own conscience. He can bear with profound equanimity the taunts and sarcasms of the friends of peace at any price or on any conditions. Indeed we cannot imagine a more honourable tribute to an Englishman's con duct in relation to the War than the vituperation of Earl GRKY, respecting whom, we may parody his own expression, and declare that the country " would now regard his accession to office not only with regret, but with dismay." Lord ALBEMARLE has for the time being failed in his object. His motion has been rejected by a majority of 16 in a House in which only 78 Peers divided. But he has the proud consciousness of having discharged his duty ably and efficiently, and of knowing that an overwhelming majority of his countrymen participate in the sound and patriotic views to which he gave expression. He may rest assured that the verdict returned by the majority will not be acquiesced in by the nation ; that it will be reviewed in another place ; and, if the new judges be really independent, really de sirous of expressing the opinions of their respec tive constituents, unhesitatingly set aside. We must, now that the delusive expectations so long persisted in have been unequivocally dis appointed, adopt decisive measures, to prevent our enemy from fighting us with weapons provided by ourselves, to prevent Prussia, under the garb of a specious neutrality, from encouraging the enemy, and striving to maintain the state of affairs by which she has avowedly been so great a gainer. If the people are in earnest, as we be lieve them to be, let them set their own shoulders ' to the wheel and compel both Ministers and Legis lators to respect the voice of public opinion when clearly and unequivocally expressed. Give, we repeat, office to any men who will faithfully and zealously discharge its duties, and direct all the national resources to conquering the honourable and satisfactory peace which cannot be obtained on other terms. Why give a further thought to Austria ? Be she coward, traitor, or selfish knave ; or be she, as Lord ELLENBOROUGH would have us believe, in capacitated by our own plans in the East from joining us in humbling Russia, the result is the same. Those who do not with us regard her as the Srs - yrnus' stone of the Allies, ever rolling back upon them after every renewed and weary effort, must yet regard her as useless lumber in the business. We want to march straight and quick to our task, and, to say the least, we have been as much hampered with her cumbrous diplomatic formalities, as our soldiers were with their cross belts, stocks, and head gear. All England detests her. We may except a few peers and aristocrats ; a few personal friends of Old NIETTERNICH, a few Jews who enrich themselves by "loans" to save her from beggary ; a few engrained Tories whom neither the atrocities of S'pielberg, nor the perjury and brutalities under which Hungary groans, can wean from their des pot love ; and a few dynastic Whig families of the Lord J. RUSSELL stamp. With such paltry and unworthy exceptions, all England detests Austria. Dark, perfidious, Jesuit-led ; intolerant in religion even to exile and to blood ; the sworn foe of all liberty of thought, speech, and action ; bloody in her revenge as an Italian or a Spaniard, without the excuse of their passion, Austria is and ever must be the most odious to every high souled Englishman of all European States. The folly of our statesmen in wooing her aid so unweariedly has sickened the country ; they have had her in tow too long for the patience of the country. Let them cast her off and shoot ahead without her ; and they would have the confidence of the nation. Every Englishman's heart would best lighter. Turn her adrift. She can do us no harm. She dares not join Russia. HEAVEN grant she !night. The hounds she now hunts with would devour her in a trice. KOSSUTH and MAZZINI would in forty-eight hours be at the head of armies. The miserable HAPSBURGS would in vain appeal again to the cheated CROATS; Russia would te unable to help them. Poland and the Allies would give her plenty to do. H tppy for the per jured HAPSBURGS if this time also they got off without the reward of our own Royal Martyr to Royal perfidy. Austria attempt war against ~he Allies for national independence I Why, it Twould, be the signal for every defrauded- State Test of the Vistula to seize back its own. Leave her, then, to her contemptible and im poverishing neutrality. Let her bully and swagger tmong her disarmed populations, but let her be Ls neuter as she claims to be—the very eunuch ,European States—with Prussia for a fellow. Never again make her the president of a peace conference, or the arbitrator for nations of men and soldiers. If neuter she wish to be, let her have her fill of neutrality. Let neither party care for her. As her policy is destitute of the slightest oretensions to honesty, honour, or manliness, let her receive not the slightest consideration from thosena tions whose present alliance is cemented by the 'noblest of all bonds. Post her neutral in the face of Europe. Afraid to attack Russia, afraid to attack ;he AllieF, afraid to attack any one, indeed, un less perhaps an unarmed Englishman in Tuscany, )r an unarmed Wallachian in Bucharest. Yes, )OSt her coward—for that is what neutral means —and shut her out from all honourable society. 1 How is it, then, that Ministers are fir ever loud in their own praises of their splendid liplomacy with Austria, while not a single echo of those praises is heard in either House of Parliament, or in the country ; and when en ev ,_ leviathan contemp orar y, w h o s a id the oest f or them and their Austrian doings till the l asts begin, t no tr , wto turn ro un d?

The phrasing of the verdict is indeed lenient ; it is not guilty of foul play, or guilty of siding in heart with Russia while out wardly siding with the Allies, but guilty of good for-nothingness. Austria is pronounced useless to the Allies. Well, that is enough. The crisis is too grave for us to lose a moment longer par leying with a poltroon. The Whig families may wish it—the Atistro-Coburgs may wish it—but it will not do. Ministers must dismiss her—with a bow if it please them ; but JoRN BULL would prefer to send his finale by the Draymen of Bank side. The result of the debate on Lord ELLENBO ROUGH'S motion was hailed with infinite satisfac tion by the supporters of the Ministry and of things as they are, with contemptuous indifference by those who have no faith in the aristocracy, and with no little disappointment by the constitutional advocates—and their name is legion—of Admi nistrative Reform. That a majority of 110 on a motion of such im portance should have'these effects is by no means surprising. The division was no chance one ; the intention of the Noble Earl had been duly an nounced, and had been the subject of animated discussion in all circles for several days previously. By some it was attributed to personal, by others to party, ambition ; by others again to the promptings of a patriotic and energetic spirit born to command, yet inspired by no inordinate desire for power. But however it was regarded, this much was certain— no one was ignorant of it. By no plausible ex cuse could the ugly fact be done away with, that, to a reform, on the carrying out of which men " slow of speech " and of great weight in their re spective spheres had pronounced the stability of the constitution and the welfare of the country to depend, was vetoed by an overwhelming majority of Noble Lords, the very first opportunity, and, as thoughtful men, pondered over the aristocratic deliverance, no wonder if they exclaimed, "A signal triumph may be a very serious affair!" One thing, certainly, occasioned some remark. On looking over the division lists no proxies ap peared among the number of contents, while 66 were recorded among the non-contents. How this came to pass was certainly surprising, and difficult to be accounted for. The notoriety and. importance of the motion, however, rather misled than guided curiosity, and the conclusion arrived at was that there were no proxies to record. None but those well versed in political matters dreamt of a dodge having been perpetrated, or, to take the mildest view of the affair, of this total absence of proxies having arisen from a misconception ; and yet so it was. The noble teller on the Mi nisterial side, it would appear, without having giving notice of his intention to call for proxies, contrived to call for them in a tone of voice which wholly escaped the ears of his colleague on the part of the opposition. The result was that the latter noble lord only discovered the fact when it was too late to be amended—those noble lords who carried proxies for the motion having left the house immediately on giving tbeir votes, under the impression that proxies would not be called for. Had thiq misconception —so let us call it— not taken place, the division list would have pre sented a different appearance. It would then have run thus : Content, present proxies -114 Not content, present ll5 2, proxies -181 Majority against the resolutions 67 instead of 110, the proxies not presented for the motion having actually amounted to the above number. While regretting the occurrence of such a blunder, the preceding explanation must dissipate much of the disappointment experienced by the advocates of Administrative Reform. It will show the great majority that the confidence they possessed in the patriotism of the Peers was not so much misplaced as they apparently had reason to believe, and that, in the long run, there will be found no sufficient obstacle in the house itself to prerent its maintenance as an institution of the country. And, gratifying as it will be to many on this ground, it will show to the satisfaction of all that the cause they have at heart has numerous sincere friends in influential quarters, whose co-operation must greatly further its progress, not only in the House, but also in the country, where their ex ample cannot fail to have a speedily appreciable effect. To Ministerialists, and other supporters of abuses, the effect will be of a less pleasing, not to say opposite, description. They may not be able to understand how serious and determined the people are in their intention to have Administrative Reform, and what deplor able results would assuredly flow from opposing them in their endeavours to secure it ; but none are unable to appreciate the difference be tween a majority of 110 and 67, and to see in the 43 proxies carried off in the pockets of reforming Peers so many more enemies to be en countered on a future day, with a vastly dimi nished prospect of success.

PARIS, Tuesday Evening.—The ceremony which has taken place to-day is not the least interesting event of the reign of Napoleon 111. France had hitherto been contented with a periodical exhibi tion of native produce ; she has now, for the first time, invited the whole world to the peaceful rivalry of the industrial and fine arts of modern civilisation. The rapidity with which the buildings have been completed, considering their solid character, the unusual severity of the season, and war excitement, all combine to increase our admiration of the per severance displayed. There is one feature about the Paris Exhibition which is perfectly original. Never before in any country, or at any period of time, had we an op portunity of beholding the painting and sculpture of all nations under the same roof. Many will linger with reflecting curiosity about the modern productions of France, England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and America, and contrast the varied influences which have given individuality to works of modern artists. The long gallery dedicated to machinery will be visited by the commercial world with Pagerauticipa tion. The producer will make his calculations round the iron giants of modern invention, whilst the philosophically curious will be struck with the economy of labour, which the brain has made for the hand. In a distinct building these marvels of modern science are all collected, and will, no doubt, receive the attention they deserve. Arrangements for the ceremonial of the inaugu ration were completed yesterday, the throne and seats for the constituted bodies being tastefully disposed, and a considerable quantity of goods ex posed to view. Yet, notwithstanding the exertions made, not fewer than 20,000 packages of all sizes have still to be opened. Although the weather has been unfavourable, the whole of the engagements of Messrs. Yorke and Goldsmith are perfectly executed, and the general effect of the changes is alike tasteful and convenient. The annexed connecting galleries of the three large buildings are not in a state to admit the public yet. No blame can be attached to those who directed the construction of the same ; limited time and bad weather are alone the causes of this delay. The interior of the building presented this morn ing a gay and animated appearance, although the weather was somewhat gloomy. From the grey glass roof the flags of all nations and the proving s of France were displayed, affording a feast of colour for the eye, shut in at either end by the two large painted glass windows. The Emperor left the ¶Puileries at one o'clock. The cortege was one of the most magnificent ever beheld. Their Imperial Majesties were preceded by six carriages. The State gilt-coach was an ele gantly designed vehicle, of the best style of Louis XIV., drawn by eight beautiful horses, the glass being cArried down to the foot of the carriage, thus showing the whole persons of the occupants. The Hundred Guards, with the Equerries of the Imperial Household, escorted their Majesties, who were cheered by an immense crowd throughout their route from the Tuileries to the Industrial Palace. About 20 minutes past oue o'clock the Emperor entered the grand doorway of the P.lais de l'ln -lustrie, when the band struck up " Partant pour la Syrie." The Emperor was dressed as a divi sional general (the same as when in England), and the Empress wore a light green robe of exquisite taste. Her Majesty's head gear consisted of an ornament of pearls, which suited admirably her charming blonde hair and complexion. Nothing could be more majestic than the deportment of the Empress, who smiled courteously to all around her. Their Majesties ascended a crimson throne erected in the centre of the grand nave, on either side of which were elegantly disposed seats for the members of the Imperial family, the Ministers of State and their ladies, the corps diplomatique, and civil and Military authorities. The whole formed a magnifi cent glittering group, the elegant toilettes of the ladies breaking the golden glitter of the group of officials who surrounded the crimson throne. Prince Napoleon, President of the Imperial Commisssion of the Exhibition, having read an ad dress setting forth the origin, progress, and cha racter of the undertaking, The Emperor, after some complimentary words, said : _ _ _ " My dear Cousin,—ln placing you at the head of a Commission that had so many difficulties to overcome, I wished to give you a particular proof of my confidence. lam happy to find that you have so fully justified it. I beg of you to thank the Commission in my name for the enlightened care and indefatigable zeal it has displayed. " I open with happiness this Temple of Peace, which invites all nations to concord." Their Majesties then descendt'd from the throne, and, accompanied by Prince Napoleon and imme diate suite, proceeded to walk round the nave of the building. A dense crowd of spectators greeted their Majesties with enthusiastic cheers, as they passed round the building, and again arrived at the throne, when they retired by the same door-way which they had entered. Every corner of the vast building was occupied, and the galleries presented a remarkably animated appearance, from being filled principally by ladies, dressed as French women alone know how to em ploy the modes. There was an immense gathering of English. The imperial cortege was magnificent. The Em peror's carriage, which contained, besides his Majesty and the Empress, Prince Jerome and the Princess Mathilde, was quite new, and was drawn by eight horses. The exterior of the palace was gaily decorated with flags, and although the day was cloudy and threatening, an immense crowd had collected out side to congratulate the Sovereign, who, whilst the nation is engaged in a deadly war struggle, had this day inaugurated a temple of peace and in dustry. The Galeries des Arts were opened at 2 o'clock. ERECTION OF THE PRINCIPALITIES INTO AN INDEPENDENT STATE. (From the Paris Correspondent of the Times.) It is now two months or more since I noticed a pro ject said to be entertained by some of our diplomatic personages, and which referred to the erection of the Danubian Principalities into an independent State, under the government of an hereditary Prince, under the pro tection of Austria, France, and England, but, it is hardly necessary to add, completely free from the domi nation of the Porte. The subject is again revived, so far as relates to the total disseverance of the provinces from Turkey, but otherwise in a far different form. In fact, it is affirmed that Austria has pretty plainly sig nified her intention of mainttining a strict neutrality, or of declaring war without any further delay against Rus sia, but on the condition that Moldavia and Wallachia and the Danube shall be ceded to her absolutely. Such is the price she demands for her active participation in war, if I can credit the person who gives the in formation, and who appears very confident in its accu racy. I mention the fact as it has reached me, with out in the slightest degree guaranteeing its correctness ; and only observing that this venal adhesion to the noblest cause for which a nation ever yet took up arms is quite characteristic of the P.twer to which it is attributed, and would, if true, explain her pro crastinating policy hitherto. Austria is not led away by romantic notions as to the defence of a weaker State by an aggressive, unscrupulous, and overgrown Power ; she will incur no risk for such an object ; but, lik6 the leader of the condottieri of the iziiddle ages, she will give the blood of her men—for a cons,deration. It is, moreover, stated (and this, I confess, staggers my faith in the story) that Turkey does not offer the objections one ,might suppose she would to this wholesale transfer of what, at all events by courtesy, is still her territory, but that she makes a demand for compensation of a pecuniary kind of enormous amount.

There were prestut nearly all the members of the corps diplo matique in London, the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, and the Hon. Sir Ed ward Oust, &c. TURKISH STOCK.—The rapid advance which took place in Turkish stock occurred in consequence of a belief that the 2,000,0001. which remain to be raised to make up the 5,000,0001. originally contemplated will be brought out under the guarantee of England and France, or that the two Governments will lend the amount in a direct manner, analogous to that of the advance made by Eng land to Sardinia. An impression that this coin sesnlight be adopted has prevailed since the interview between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the London capi talists on the subject of the Consul loan last month, when it was intimated that the Government reserved the right to do so ; but yesterday it was looked forward to with much more certainty, and, although nothing has yet been definitively arranged, there are strong grounds for the expectation. The benefit of such a measure upon the old stock would consist not only in its preventing the additional amount from being brought upon the market in a competing shape and on onerous terms for Turkey, but also in its identifying the two Governments in the financial interests of that country by giving them a claim the enforcement of which would necessarily involve due care for the rights of the origi nal bondholders, who, as first mortgagees, would in such case always be entitled to a prior satisfaction of their domande. INDIA We have received the following telegraphic de spatch from Trieste : TRIESTE, TUESDAY, MAY 15. The steamer Calcutta arrived here this morn ing at 4.30 a.m., in 131 hours from Alexandria. ALEXANDRIA, MAY 9. The Indian mails have arrived with intelligence from Calcutta of the 10th April, and from Bom bay of the 17th April. A treaty was signed with Hyder Khan at Peshawur on the 30th March by Mr. Lawrence, containing three articles :- 1. Perpetual peace between Dost Mahomed and the English. 2. The English to respect the territories of Dost Mahomed. 3. Dost Mahomed to recognise the territories of the East India Company. There are rumours of hostile preparations at Ava against the English. There has been fighting between Gholab Singh and his nephew. The Afreedees have beeii chastised by Colonel Craigie. Lord Dalhousie's health at Ootacamund has greatly improved. The Five per Cent. Loan makes slow progress, owing to the scarcity of money. THE 4AST. VIENNA, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 15. The Oester. Correspon,denz publishes the follow ing, under date of Constantinople, 10th inst. : " The capitation tax on Christians is abolished. "Christians are to render military service, and to form a separate corps. "The departure of Redschid Pasha for Vienna is fixed for Saturday, the 12th. " The first Piedmontese division went straight to the Crimea." MARSEILLES, TUESDAY, MAY 15. The Pericles, which left Constantinople on the 3d of May, has arrived. Despatches leave at 8 p.m. The Thabor, which left Constantinople on the 7th, is due, but has not arrived. There is nothing new from the Crimea. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 12. 6,000 Sardinians have gone to Sebastopol. Excessively heavy firing takes place between the French and the Russians every night. The British are within 50 yards of the Rus• sian sentries. The British are constructing new batteries. The Sultan reviews the French imperial Guard to-day. BERLIN, TUESDAY, MAY 15. An Imperial manifesto, dated St. Petersburg, the 6th May, declares that it is indispensable to maintain the full complement of the army and navy, and orders a fresh levy of 12 men per 100 in 17 of the W estern governments, to commence in ' June and end in July. Jews are excluded. News from Stockholm confirms the statements about the ultimatum offered to Sweden by the Allies. Orders have been given for the immediate mobilisation of the militia ; a step that has been taken, it is supposed, in consequence of the above transaction. THE BALTIC FLEET. BERLIN, MAY 12. Fishermen had already brought news to Stock holm that English vessels (it is presumed, mer chantmen) had arrived at Rodham, the most southern point of the Aland Isles, of which lies the anchorage-ground of Ledsund, and had sold salt to the inhabitants at prices considerably below the current figure. It was understood at that time that there were no Russian troops on the islands. From Helsmgfors we hear that as far back as the 26th ult. three English vessels of war had been seen off Hango Udde, and, as the last post from Fin land is long overdue in Stockholm, it may be in ferred that the communication by water has been again cut off, and that the mail bags have been sent round by Tornea. The screw ship of the line Orion, 91, Captain Erskine, anchored in Kiel Harbour early on the 10th instant. The pad.lle-steamer Bulldog paid that harbour a short visit on the Bth. The Kielers having lost the pleasure and the profit arising from the stay of the English fleet in their harbour are now looking anxiously for the arrival of the French. The entire Prussian fleet is now collected at Dantzic—the frigate Thetis in the roads, the frigate Gefion in dock, the steam corvettes Dantzic and Barbarossa, the sailing corvette Amazon, the trans port Mercur, and the war schooner Hela. The Thetis, Amazon, and Mercur are about to start on an educational trip for the benefit of the youngsters on board. The arrangements made for provisioning these three by no means very large vessels had caused a panic among the housewives of DAntzic, probably artfully spread by the butchers, &c., of the 'dace, to the effect that the allied fleets were about to resort to those roads for victualling purposes. The mail bags brought by the Driver on this first occasion of its landing the correspondence of the fleet are stated to have 4,000 letters; it will therefore not be astonishing if the small staff at the Dantzic post-office should not be able to sort and expedite them all the same day as they arrive there. SPAIN. MADRID, 14th.—The payment of Coupons in arrear was recommeneKl to-day. The Committee on the Budget has decided that an extraordinary forced contribution is necessary, and the amount is to be fixed this evening. The proceedings in the Cortes to-day were without interest. FRANCE. PARIS, Tuesday.—The Universal Exhibition at the Palace of Industry was iraugurated at a quar ter past one o'clock to-day by the Emperor and Empress, in the presence of about 8,000 persons. The weather was heavy. " The Emperor and the Empress," says the AfessagEr of Bayonne, " will again spend a part of the summer a t Bi arr itz. The health of her Ma jesty was so much benefited by her residence there last year that sea-bathing has been again consi dered advisable. It is said that his Majesty in tends inviting several of the august visitors at the . Exhibition to accompany him to the new Imperial, residence, which has been built by his orders. The works at the Villa Eugenie have been urged on so rapidly that in the month of July the building will be ready to receive its illustrious occupants." The Moniteur announces that two lieutenants of the navy have been promoted to the rank of officer of the Legion of Honour, and that eleven officers, sailors, or marines, have been nominated members of the Order, for having distinguished themselves in the attack on the Chinese rebels at Shanghai on the Gth Jan. last. General Allard, president of the section of war at the Council of State, and Colonel Edgar Ney, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, have been promoted to the rank of Commander in the Legion of Honour. A telegraphic despatch has, it is said, been re ceived from the French camp before Sebastopol, of yesterday's date, which announces that, in conse quence of the heavy rain which fell on the two or three days previously, the trenches were filled with water. This, I presume, will have suspended for a while the operations of the siege. The Emperor, on the proposition of the Admiral Minister of Marine ; has ordered that the name of RUSSIA. We have received the S Petersburgh journals of the Bth instant. _ _ Th© Invalide Russe publishes the following from the Crimea : " Aide-de-Camp General Prince Gortschakoff has sent the following telegraphic despatch, via Kieff, dated Se bastopol, 18th (30th) of April : " `Nothing of importance took place between the 15th and 18th (27th to the 30th) of April. Oa the whole the fire of the enemy is slack. As on the preceding days our loss has been comparatively very small ; the greatest loss was incurred in the new trenches in front of Bastion No. 5 ; it is against them that the enemy concentrate their heaviest fire during the night ; to-day two attempts were made to smoke out the enemy, both of which were suc cessful. (On a donna le camouflet is l'ennemi avec succes.) " ' Nothing of importance has occurred on any other point of the Peninsula ' " The Invalide also publishes the following :-- "Yesterday a report was received from Prince Gorts chakoff of the 18th (30th) April, which completes the news contained in his two last telegraphic despatches, respecting the operations before Sebastopol. " On the 12th (24th) April the fire of the enemy was principally directe,l against Bastions 5 and 6, and against the redoubts and lodgments in front of those bastions ; from the 13th (25th) to the 18th (30th) the fire of the besiegers was on the whole moderate. The number of men put hors de combat, killed and wounded, or who receive contusions, amount to from 100 to 175 daily. _ " The approaches of the enemy meet with a powerful obstacle in the fire of the artillery of the town, and of the musketry from our lodgments, which prevents their advance on the enemy's side the mining operations against Bastion No 4 have been confined to the explo sion of a mine on the verge of their central entonnoir, with a view to destroy one of our galleries ; but the ex plosion did them more damage than us, for it only destroyed five feet of our gallery, which was immediately repaired, whilst it destroyed a portion of the enemy's entonnoir. "To prevent the French occupying an eminence situ ated 40 or 50 sagenes in advance of Bastion No. 5, and upon which they might easily have constructed a battery which would have taken in flank, at short range, half of the right face of Bastion 4, we constructed, under the enemy's fire, in five days, two strong trenches, with a private communicatio❑ between them. "Those works were commenced in the night between the 12th and 13th (24th-25th) April; special detach. ments were entrusted with the operation, and they were supported by three battalions of the Infantry Regiment Catherinebourg and by two battalions of the Alexopol Chasseurs, under the chief command of the brave Alajor- General Khroustcheff, Commander of the First Brigade of the 16th Infantry Division, who already distinguished himself by his courage and talent at the time of the de feat of the enemy when they attacked the Selinghinsk and Volhynia redoubts, on the night between the 12th and 13th (24th and 25th) March last. "On the 12th (24th), at 8 p.m.. whilst our detach. ments and their supports were being prepared, the be siegers opened a violent fire of musketry upon the works under construction, and, after various rounds, made a charge upon them in great force. Having driven back our advanced troops, they commenced destroying the lodgments. "But then, by order of Major-General Khroustcheff, Lieut.-Colonel Boguensky, in command of the Catherine bourg Regiment, with 'dru ins beating and loud hurrahs, charged the French with the bayonet at the head of two bittalions of his regiment, and drove them back. At 9 o'clock the enemy renewed the attack ; they were re ceived,,however, by a well-sustained fire, and compelled to retire to their trenches, from which they kept up a fire of musketry during the whole of the night. " Nevertheless the half•destroyed lodgments remained in our possession. Towards the morning of the 13th (25th) they were already repaired, strengthened, and two new ones constructed behind the former ones. " The vigour with which we maintained possession of these works, and their construction under the very close fire of the enemy, does the greatest honour to our troops and to Major-General Kriroustcheff, under whose command they were commenced. At different times our men had to drive back the French at the point of the bayonet, and every night the latter direct a heavy fire of artillery and musketry on this point. In thee engagements we have unhappily to deplore among others the loss of Captain Lavroff, a young officer of brilliant parts and of great promise. " During all this time from the 12th to the 18th (24th to 80th) April the enemy's fleet remained at anchor as before, and did not attempt anything against Sebastopol. " Everything is quiet on other po , nts of the peninsula. "In terminating this report, Aide-de Camp General Prince Gort , chalioff announces that on the 17th (29th) April, the anniversary of the birthday of his Majesty thi Emperor, after divine service and a Te Deunt in the principal church of &bast - To!, in presence of the com mander and all the officers of the garrison, and after offering up prayers for the preservation of the days of his Majesty. and of all the august members of the lie perial ,Family, a salvo of 101 cannon balls was fired against the enemy in honour of the occasion." A supplement to the Invalids Busse publishes the following : • "A telegraphic despatch from Prince Gortscbakoff, via Kieff, dated Sebastopol, 21:4 -of April (3, 1 . May), says— " From the 18th to the 19th April (30th April to Ist ty) the fire of the enemy was moderate, but on the even• ingot the lit it became very heavy against Bastions 4 and 5. On the following night the besiegers concentrated 10,000 men against our new works in front of Bastion 5, got posse. , sien of them after a vigorous attack, and captured nine small cohorn mortars inside ; they were prevented progressing further by the fire of our batteries. " On the 20th April (2d May) the enemy kept vp a most violent fire az tinst Bastions 4 and 5; and against the a ijoining fortifications, but all the damage they did us was repaired during the night, and five times we suc cessfully employed smoke-balls in their entonnoirs: " A letter from Vienna of the 11th, in the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" Ali Pacha, the Plenipotentiary of the Porte, will not await the arrival of his successor, but leave next week for Constantinople to enter on his functions as Grand Vizir. A telegraphic despatch has been received announcing that Reschid Pacha, the ex-Grand Vizir, will replace Ali Pacha here. The Grand Vornick Constantin-Negir has arrived here for Jassy. He has been selected both by the Sultan and by the Hospodar of Moldavia to attend the Conference 3, and give any information that may be required on the affairs of the principality. He is accompanied by A. Laurian, a Moldavian aga." A letter from Vienna, in the Dresden Journal, says :—" There has lately been much talk at Bu charest' of the discovery of a political conspiracy, but the persons arrested appear to be only secon dary agents. It is reported that papers of a com promising character have been found in the posses sion of those arrested, and it is supposed that Kossuth is somewhat connected with these pro ceedings." We learn from Frankfort that a despatch dated from St. Petersbur g , 30th ult., addressed to the Russian Minister atllarmstadt, states that Russia considers that the understanding which was come to iu the Conferences of Vienna on the first two points of guarantee as a useful result for Germany. Ia thus separating German interests from the Eastern conflict, the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, stys the despatch, relies on the States of the Con federation persisting in a strict neutrality, for it is only on that condition that Russia will consider herself bound to maintain the interpretation which she gives to the results acquired at the Conferences of Vienna. The Corriere Italiano of Vienna, of the 11th, quotes correspondence Mini Poland quite in con tradiction with late accounts, as to the severity of the Russian Government at Warsaw in political matters. It says that measures calculated to give just satisfaction to Poland are impatiently ex pected there, and that the police has been ex tremely indulgent ; so much so, that people talk freely of public matters at cafés and theatres, a thing unheard of before, and which excites the astonishment of all those who know what severity there was before. The latest advices from St. Petersburg (sth inst.) mention that commanders have been appointed to the various druschines of the Militia already con stituted. The highest serial number of these druschines thus provided with commanders was 164 ; from which it was rather too boldly assume i, that as each druschine was to be 1,000 men strong so there must be at least 164,000 men of the Militia already under arms. It may be interesting to our merchant marine, and to mariners generally, to know that one good result of the inundations in the province of Ost Preussen has been to deepen the sailing channel by which Pillau is approached. Where there were formerly only 12 feet water there are now 21 feet. The Rev. James George Darling was on Saturday last instituted by the Bishop of Chester to the rectory of Lowton, in the county of Lancaster, upon the present tion of the'Earl of Derby. mmitm.............V......••••••••••••1 TllO DISTR IBUT IoN OF CIME,IS MEDALS BY HER MAJESTY'. ---4.------ oroPli' The Secretary of the Admiralty presents his c . mies tin nintssetroth: thee diteonrcolofsTedheinSttoot,.rnanodrrnwsvoisldpabpeer hi üb :_. lige d ' l7 Admiralty, May 15. • .......--- " Upon the occasion of her Majo(s‘tAy apffireisreantiling3jruaelAt:t. a portion o f the officers and soldiers entitled to th 10 0 , 0 of service in the Crimea, and also to tha officers day ?) 1 the he Royal Navy and 'Marines, who co-operated l;,. wil l army from the date of the landing in the Crimea,l,',A or not be p oss ible to give notice to all officers unernPlcld. on l eave o f abse• ce, the Lords Commissioners of V ste d, miralty request that those officers of the n avy, o °, t to w it. whom ay be entitled to medals, and who may vn° loyal ness - the ceremony, will make application at the _ ..0d 0.
