LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1855 The Allied troops having so gloriously accom plished the arduous and important duty in which they were engaged, it now remains for the Allied Governments to follow up the victory and to ob tain its legitimate fruits. There must now be no waiting for Austria or for Prussia—no opening of negotiations, the sole effect whereof would be to give breathing-time to Russia, and to enable it to recover partially from the heavy blow which has just been administered. The insidious arguments of the Peace-at-any-Price Party must now be dis regarded. No maudlin sentimentality can be in dulged in. We have sacrificed many millions of treasure and the lives of tens of thousands of our best and bravest, to break the pride and reduce the inordinate power of Russia ; and, the work having at length been accomplished, we must ren der the humiliation complete, and prevent the possibility of further aggression for many years to come. We have now acquired the 'right to im pose stringent terms, and not a single point can be waived in following it up to the very utmost. It is ridiculous to say that with the destruction of the Russian fleet and the demolition of " the standing menace to Constantinople and to Europe," the objects of the War have been fully accomplished, and that we may now safely retire from the contest. If we did so, it would be merely deferring the evil day, purchasing a tem porary exemption for ourselves at the expense of our children and their offspring. The paper pro mises of Russia will no longer suffice ; " ma terial guarantees " of the most satisfactory cha racter are indispensable. The plunder of past years must be relinquished by Russia, and an ample indemnity given for the expanses of the War. By insisting on those terms, we only follow the precedent established by Russia herself —every success being the signal for territorial changes, and the loser invariably paid the "full costs." No intervention can for a moment be listened to. Austria and Prussia have for their own pur poses refrained from taking part in the War. They cannot now be permitted to interfere for the purpose of helping Russia out of the scrape. I n this respect we have also the example of Rus s i a to refer to. She invariably insisted on dealing directly with the adversary, and receiving the propositions without any intermediate agent. She must therefore, on the present occasion, " dree her own weird," and come to head-quarters for any indulgence she may require. The next step is now anxiously looked for. The Russian fleet has been completely destroyed, but the Crimean army still exists. Sebastopol is virtually our own ; but Simpheropol, Bakshi- Serai, and other towns, still afford shelter to Rus sian garrisons. That army must be forced to capit elate—the whole of the Crimea be restored to its lawful owners. Under any circumstances it can never again be restored to the AUTOCRAT — never made the point of aggression to overawe in offensive neighbours. Once reduced into posses sion, it can easily be retained by those who have the command of the surrounding seas. No army could venture to cross Perekop and enter on the ar id stoppes which lie between it and the Crimean capital. A thoroughly efficient commissariat, and the certainty of ample supplies from the rear, would be indispensable before such a movement could be attempted. It wowld be a hard task for Prince GORT SCHAKOFF to evacuate the territory, and get his followers out of the terrible trap in which they are caught, evc "if unassailed. But if the Allied Generals efficiently discharge their duty, it will be abso lutely impAissible. The triumphant termination of tltie siege, will liberate a large body of me n from the harassing work of the trenches, and ithin a few hours they may be conveyed to Euritoria, whence a single day's march would carry them on to Siropherop e l. B y d o i ng so promp fly they could cut off th e retreat of the Russian g• But no time can be l os t i n considera tion. the enemy will make up th e i r m i n d s very rapic 14., and leave nothing but a de vas t a t e d ruined towns behind them. They country, a 13 d can use the r he else well, and if time be allowed TEE SUN, LONDON WEDNESIAY EvENiNti SEPTEMBER 1 4 2 1855. may get off before our troops get to the scratch. A single day's delay may impose the necessity of sending troops to the Tcheterlik, where the fugi tives could easily be intercepted, every road to the Isthmus being commanded, there is a glorious opportunity for the Generals to show the stuff of which they are mad•, and t• render the conster nation of Russia decisive. We hope it may not be- neglected or misapplied. The hour of success is also the hour of danger. We do not, indeed, fear imprudence on the part of our Generals; they have hitherto rather shrunk from heavy risks. The danger is at home. If our Generals aid Admirals recei►e orders to clear the Crimea of Russians from Balaklava to Perekop before winter, we believe they will do it ; but our fear is for the effect of ►ictory on the people; if it lead them to relax their vigilance over their own Government they may lose in an evil hour the fruits of all their blood and treasure. While exulting in the first grand success, the first achieve ment to which the Alma, and Balaklava, and In kerman, and the Tchernaya were but preparatory steps ;—while soothed by the retribution which has overtaken the savage pirates of Sinope, driven to naval suicide by remorse and cowardice—we must yet keep our heads cool, and not suffer the reins to fall from our hands. Hitherto we have proved true, because honest, prophets. We take no other credit to ourselves for having foreseen so frequently and so correctly the diplomatic and political issues of things than is due to the instinct of straightforward advocacy of the nation's views on the War, and the most rooted hatred to the Germanising and Russia sparing policy of our public men. With the vast majority of the nation, a majority which ought rather to be called unanimity, we have held that Russia ought to be humbled and reduced without mercy. From the beginning our argument has been that mercy to Russia was cruelty to our soldiers, cruelty to all Europe, cruelty t• our selves at home. For every house spared at Odessa, for instance, and elsewhere, we main tain that scores of English and French lives have been sacrificed, for the lenity evinced in takiug the now scouted Four Points into consideration our army suffered in the slackness of the siege operations, and in the opportunity gained by Russia to liberate her troops from Poland. But, worse than all, there have been traitors in our camp from the time of ABERDEEN, GLADSTONE, and GRAHAM to this hour. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or his principles on this question, have been and will be, unless the nation forbids, the curse of the War. He might have been more willing than Lord ABERDEEN to frighten Russia, if she bad not been far too cunning not to see through masquerade war, but his leading and avowed principle is as disgraceful to a war statesman as it has been ruinous to our army and costly to our finances. The territory and the dignity of Russia have been Lord JOHN'S avowed care from the beginning of the War till his great Vienna downfall. All the GREYS andßusszus, with their alines, have shared the folly, and, we must say, the political turpitude, of their leader ; at least so far as we can gather from their doings and their not-doings, their sayings and their not-sayings. The whole influence of the old family clique, backed, we fear, by the despotic affinities of the Court, has been directed to conducting the War on the mad prin ciple of sparing Russia, so far as the English people would permit. Think of a MARLE•ROUGH, or a WELLINGTON, a RODNEY or a NELSON, au ALFRED or a CROMWELL attempting their campaigns on such a drawing-I-nom t England's great, men hitherto have gone to war with but one idea, that of sparing the enemy nowhere when they could light upon him. They let him know that he continued war at the peril of losing more and more, and losing it irrecoverably, each year. We believe it to be the height of wicked ness t• draw the sword on any other condition. The bloodshed of war for mere victory, but war not intended to disable the enemy permanently from renewing his aggressions, is, we believe, greater than that of a war which aims by every means at the latter. We suspect a Cabinet which dabbled with the Four Points, and a Cabinet which avows no sym pathy with the rights of the nations which Russia has absorbed, and by absorbing which she has become formidable. We suspect a Cabinet which has ignominiously courted the Austrian Alliance, and sacrificed to it not only Poland but a Polish legion also. We suspect a Cabinet which has scoured Europe for foreign soldiers, but has re fused the only foreign soldiers whose very name and banners would have struck Russia with dis may. Above all, we suspect a Cabinet in which Sir CHARLIE WOOD follows Sir JAMES GRAWA.M, and under whose management the 1311 tic Fleet has doubled our Income Tax to do next to nothing. The relative of Earl GREY, the long associate of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, a man, too, of confessedly mediocre ability, could never occupy his all-im portant post at the Admiralty but as the fitting implement for not doing too much. We think it is now demonstrated that it was not intended to be too successful in the Baltic. The NAPIER correspondence has, at least, proved one thing— that even Sir CHARLES 'WOOD knew how to lay Sweaborg, Helsingfors, and Cronstadt in ruins, and has not done it. The autumn exploit at Sweaborg proved also what could have been done, had it been wished, at any time this summer. The requisite means were known, the requisite means could have been provided in any one of half-a-dozen iron works in England, but the re quisite means were not forthcoming ! The reader must draw his conclusion ; he may, perhaps, waver between a verdict of incapacity, or of des i gn. We ourselves can feel no hesitation. Whig and Peehte politics; throughout the whole War forbid us to doubt. We implore our fellow -countrymen to watch their Government. Influences from Whig and Peelite Aristocracy at home, and from despotic connexions abroad, will spare the great culprit if possible. Even now that war is throwing its weight into the scale of justice it will be attempted to save Russian territory an d Russian dignity to the last. Vienna gave Russia the means in 1814 to attack the liberties of Europe; Vienna will aim to perpetuate that wickedness. English States men are not to be relied on in Germany. Th e War must now be pushed till a Peace Congress he held at London or Paris, or, bettor still, at WARSAW. Russia must send her Plenipotentiaries to the capitals of the Allies, or to the capital of reconstituted Poland ; she must be fined to the amount of the interest of the debt she has created in four countries, and of a sink ing fund to redeem it. Her revenues must, after a peace, be employed, not in training her slaves for fresh aggression, but in remedying the pecuniary losses caused by her late one. Above all, her dangerous territory must be taken from her. The Crimea, of course, is all but gone . already, Bessa rabia and ea ev c e o n asts si m r u o st . follow ; and ifth ia e w WOOD dares not deny that Fi n l an d mus t b e re united to Sweden, and Poland fulfil the duty which all common sense allots to it. Sebastopol teaches, one great lesson. That by throwing her strength into her frontiers Russia has given up her most terrible defence. CHARLES X 1 I. and NAPOLEON alike found that her inte rior was their ruin. It may be hard work to re duce her Crimean, her Polish, and her Baltic for• tresses, but to carry war successfully into her in terior would be the more fatal undertaking. Sebastopol, Warsaw, and Cronstadt may threaten Europe, but they also enable Euroge to wear out and to chastise Russia. ARRIVAL OF PRINCE AAPOLEON BO v APA RTE. Cowls, Sept. 11.—His Imperial Majesty's steam yacht Ariel arrived here this afternoon when the Prince and his suite landed. The Earl of Burlington and Lady Louisa Cavendish have returned to Holkar-hall, near Milnethorpe, from ♦isiting the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth .

Sir Charles Wood, the First Lord, and Admiral the Right Hon. Sir M. F. Berkeley and Admiral Richards, Junior Lords, left the Admiralty yesterday forenoon, by the Great Western Railway, for Plymouth, Devonport, and an inspection of the naval establishments in the two districts. Sir Charles and the other Lords of the Admiralty return to town early in the ensuing week. Sir Charlee Morgan, Bart., and family have returned to Tredegar, near Newport, from a tour of viiiti in Scotland. It is understood that a matrimonial alliance will shortly take place between the Hon. Francis Stonor, second son of Lord Camoys, and Miss Peel, daughter of the late Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel. Lord Panmure is to pay a visit to the Royal Arsenal, 'at Woolwich, this evening. The Deke of Somerset has arrived in town from a cruise in the Baltic. His grace was unable to attend the obsequies of his father, not having received intelli gence of the late duke's demise until he reached the north coast of ScotTand. The Duke and Duchess of Montrose and family are staying at Buchanan Castle, N. 8., and do not return to the south until the second week in next month. The Marquis and Marchioness of Huntly are enter taining a select party at Aboyne Castle, Aberdeenshire. The noble marquis and marchioness, with their youthful family, were present to receive the Queen at Aboyne, on Friday last, when her Majesty passed through, en route for Balmoral. The Earl of Carnarvon, the Countess of Carnarvon, and Lady Gwendoleen Herbert have joined the select party •t Eggersford, Devon, visiting the Earl and Coun tess of Portsmouth. The Earl and Countess of Roue, we regret to learn, are plunged into grief by the death of their second son, the Hon. Wm.

The Minister of State, as a special favour, has allowed M. FeHelen David to cause some of his musical works to be executed at the Conservatoire. The first perform- ance is to take place on Friday. The greatest activity prevails in the dockyard at Roch fort in the construction of the Redoubtable and Intro pide, screw 90-gun ships. The former will probably be launched in October next. THE ITALIAN VINTAGH. The satisfactory appear. ance of the vineyards in the province of Asti and Ales sandria has lately led to a reduction of 30 per cent, in the price of wine, and the glapes themselves are sold at a low price. PAPAL DIPLOMACY AT A DISCOUNT.—The Venice Gazdte observes that the Papal See has no nuncios at present in Spain, Sardinia, Switzerland, Brazil, and New Grenada. Senior Surgeon Chisholm, of the Royal Artillery, has been appointed to take medical charge of the York dis trict. He is now the only remaining Waterloo officer in the Army and Ordnance Medical Department, and was on the platform, alone, with the other otFieep on - Thur,day 14,,t, co receive the Queen on her _Majesty's arrival at York, en route to Balmoral,— Yorkshire Ga- zette. Mr. Nicholson, organ builder, of Macclesfield, has met a singular death. He was in the act of " voicing " or "sounding " a pipe, and applied his ear to it, when from some cause or other, a splinter flaw out, entered his ear, and gradually penetrated to the brain ; after three weeks' illness he expired, suffering great agony. MILITARY BARRACKS AT DUNFERRLINE.—Robertson's factory has been leased by Government, and is to be fitted up as a barrack. The place, which is walled in all round, and at a distance has rather a military look, would, including mill, weaving shops, and hackling shops, be capable of lodging a whole regiment, and_ cou!d be turned into the purposes intended at very little cost.—Ediabitrgh Courant. THE HON. F. H. BERKELEY.—We regret to learn that our respected representative, the Hon. F. H. Berkeley, has met with an accident which deprives him for a time of the power of writing. While in the act of raising a window the pulleys gave way, and the sash descended with such violence as to fracture the bone of his right thumb. Medical aid was immediately summoned, and two surgeons attended the honourable gentleman and set the bone. The pain and irritation, however, consequent upon the accident, we are sorry to add, brought on a fit of gout —Bristol Mercury. Tne Spa of Buxton is at present full of company. Or Sunday afternoon the Rev. Dr. M'Neil, of Liverpool, preached in the open air. The rev. gentleman took his stand in the colonnade of the Crescent, and preached a powerful and eloquent sermon to a large and attentive audience. THE WILL OF THR LATH ABBOTT LAWRENCIL—BeItidO3 numerous private gifts, the will of the late Abbott Law rence bequeaths 130,000 dollars for public benevolence, as follows :—The Lawrence Scientific School, 50,000 dols. ; for building model lodging-houses, 50,000 dols. ; Bi , ston Public Library, 10,000 dole. ; Franklin Library in the city of Lawrence, 5,000 dole. ; American Bible Society, 5,000 dole.; American Tract Society, 5,000 dole,; and Home Missionary Society, 5,000 dole. One-half of the net rents of the lodging-houses is to be annually di.- tributed to various charitable institutions in Boston, and the other half is to accumulate in order to constitute a fund for keeping the lodging-isouses in order. Lieut. A. Campbell, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, eldest son of Archibald Campbell, Esq., of Blythswood, at present serving with his regiment in the Crimea, was wounded on the 22d ult. by a piece of shell which struck him in the face. The wound, we understand, is not of a serious description, and his parents have had the sati- , faction of receivingaletter from the young officer, written by hi. own hand, assuring them that such is the case. FIUNGARY.--Fieid-Mar-bal Count Nugent was attacked on the 23th ult. with cholera, while at his country house of Susika, and on the following day he received the last 'acraments. Letters from Fiume, the Hungarian port in the Adriatic, however, state that he afterwards ral lied, and that his physicians now declare him to be out of danger. The Peninsular and Oriental Royal West India Mail and General Screw Companies have arranged with the Electric Telegraph Company codes of night signals, by xhich the arrival of their different steamers is commu nicated to the Telegraph Station at Hurst Castle, situated at the entrance of the Solent Sea, and by that means intelligence of these steamers is conveyed to London and Southampton in the dead of the night, two hours before the arrival of the ships at the latter port. When a steamer arrives off Hurst Telegraph Station in the night a gun is fired from it, which awakens the telegraph clerk. Lights, differtntly arranged, according to what corn ' pany the steamer belong., are then hoisted on board the steamer, and as soon as the telegraph clerk has recog nised them he hoists a light which informs the captain that his signal has been seen ant understood. The sig nal is hoisted on board and understood on shore while the steamer is in motion.

NEW FOREST.—Ten thousand acres of land in various parts of the New Forest are about to be planted. About 70 acres of the New Forest were sold last week b e t the Government, and fetched about 231. 10s. an acre. The land sold is on the outskirts of the forest, and is covered with furze. It bas to be fenced by the purchasers. Among the numerous inventions which are being shown at the French Exhibition, the portable press of M. Racrueneau has particularly attracted the attention of the Emperor, who has watched the working of the machine with much interest; and on his last visit with the Queen of England their Majesties both expressed their satisfaction at witnessing the process by which any one can produce as many copies as he pleases of writings, circulars, musio, drawings, &c., with the greatest facility. LAT Err N EWS. PARIS, IVNE.Day, SEPT. 12, 8 A.M. The Moniteur trounces that the Emperor will, on Thursdaynt, attend at noon in the Church of Notre Ime a Te Deism, to be cele brated as an act of kanksgiving for the capture of Sebastopol. The Ministers, .e Senators, the Legislative Corps, the high funionaries, &c., will also at tend. Gratuitous perfoitances will be given in the theatres of Paris. At night the pdie buildings will be illumi nated. The Times Paris )rrespondent estimates the loss of the gallant fillies at from 10,000 to 12,000, and the forning Past Paris cor respondent at about 1 , 000, including killed and wounded. FRiNCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Times Paris corremdent says :—" I am in formed that the official ist of the losses of the French army during tin terrible assaults of the Malakhoff and Sebastopo have not as yet been re ceived by the Governmen It is stated, however, that three Generals, one o whom is General Ver det, have been killed ; thlt General Bosquet has been wounded in the slou'lder by a musket ball ; that General Trochu wasovoanded in the leg ; and that Generals Bourbaki, La Motte Ronge, and Mellinet have also beer hit. It was rumoured that General de Salles, vro made the unsuccessful attack on the Central Bation, was killed, but this is denied in well-informeclivarters. General Mac- Mahon is also said to be bunded. In the absence of official intelligence we cri only form a conjecture as to the total number (inluding the English) hors de combat, and these wouk place it at from 10,000 to 12,000. It is not beliyed that we have any thing to apprehend on he Tchernaya, or that the Russian army will venture to attack us. I need hardly say that toe reports of the Gene ral-in-Chief are awaited with the most intense interest. In the meantike, we may now be al lowed to ask—What has become of those con fident predictions, those rophecies of evil, which declared Sebastopol impregnable, mocked at the immense labours of our aulies, and believed in the failure of the allied foi:es against the bastions of the Russian fortresses Where are now the guns of the allies that went° be sold as old iron ; and those profound strate&sts, who thought that all our efforts should be drected to securing the safe embarkation of our toops before the enemy came down upon us in overwhelming numbers ? And above all, where an our Plenipotentiaries and our Ministers, extraordinary and ordinary, those profound diplomatiss, who would accept a degrading peace, t o s ave usfrom the deeper humi liation of a precipitate reteat from the Crimea ; and his Majesty of Prussic, who was founding a system of neutrality, if nd - , of hostility, to the Western Powers, on the failure of our armies before Sebastopol ? I halt) not heard that the Emperor of Austria has yet written an autograph letter to his Imperial brothor of France, congratu lating him on the brilliant success before Sebas topol. I have little doubt t will be forthcoming in due time." The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says :—" The guns of the hvalides have at length proclaimed a great victory. The allied armies have, after beating the Russians iY their pitched battles, driven the Czar's best trocps from the strongest military position which a besieging army ever en countered. The telegraphic intelligence which reached Paris on Monday was somewhat confusing as regards dates, and even at the early part of the day left some doubt of a final success. Beyond the pub lished news other official despatches throw some light on the great struggle. They are necessarily brief. It appears that the French storming parties, as well as our own, were on more than one occasion repulsed, but having 011C3 cialtlea a 0.... z- +he Malakhoff they kept it, heroically and at a great loss, were able to make use of their commanding position by turning their guns on the Russian reserves and defences behind the Redan and Mala khoff itself. The result of the attack was long dependent on the gallantry of the French, and they have earned immortal glory for their firmness. By holding their position, our own troops were enabled to return to the attack and successfully carry the points they ware originally destined to capture. General Pelissier says, on the 9th, three in the morning I have passed the night in the midst of my troops ; I can assure you that everything has been blown up in Karabelnaia, and according to what I have been able to see the same must have been the case before our attacks on the left. This immense success does the greatest honour to our troops.' "After this a despatch, dated daybreak, morning of the 10th, told us that the whole of the south side of Sebastopol was in possession of the allies. Tne enemy retired, leaving Sebastopol a heap of ruins, covered with dead bodies, accord;ng to the orders of the Czar. " General La Marmora tells us ;—{ During the night the Russians withdrew, after having burned the t 'wn, blown up the works of defence and the public edifices, and sunk their last vessels.' " It was a cruel and useless sacrifice of life on the part of the enemy ; for, after having twice at tempted to drive the French out of the Malakhoff, prudence would have directed retreat. But I gather from the despatches that the enemy still lingered to destroy the town and blow up their works, during which operations they were under the fire of the allies, and probably hundreds fell completing the barbarian will of the Czar. " A sad list of losses will follow this brilliant tri umph ; the flash of victory is always succeeded by a temporary gloom ; the heart must weep out its sorrow, before it can grow proud beside the glory grave of the departed. In the streets of Paris, yes terday, I observed more than one of our fair coun trywomen hurrying along weeping and agitated. The questions were frequently put to me, " Was the Light Division engaged ? Was such and such a regiment told off for the storming party ?'' Alas ! I could give no satisfactory answer ; I was no wiser than the rest of the world. " Whilst the few were thus seeking to know, and yet dreading to learn, masses of the people eagerly crowded together at the corners of the streets to read the news. The scavenger and the dandy were closely pressed together, peeping between the heads of those who immediately stood before them, regardless of each other, requesting to hear the de spatch read aloud, When each one had satisfied himself, he tore his way from out the mob, with an expression of proud joy, exclaiming "En fin ! Vive l'Armee ! Vive l'Empereur !" and other little broken fragments of speech, in which Se bastopol occurred very frequently. Here and there groups of Parisians might be seen discussing the battle, and speculating on the fate of the Russian army. Paris was alive with military pride. The people's heart beat as it used to beat when the great Napoleon's victories electrified heroic France. You saw in people's faces an ex pression of proud satisfaction ; it was the feeling of half a century past again animated by a Napoleon. The joy of this victory will bear reflection. The brave who survive are the conquerors not only of Alma, Inkerman, and Tchernaya ; they are the heroes of European civilisation. " Last evening all the public buildings of Paris were illuminated, as well as many private houses, and crowds of people thronged the public thorough fares. " I believe the Government is in possession of the amount of casualties up to a certain period. Va rious numbers are stated, but the best author I can quote says no less than 15,000 French are hors de combat. The losses we know are great, and when the nature of the operations are considered, pro bably this amount is not greater than might bo ex pected. General Bosquet, I am told, is slightly wounded, aid one general officer is killed." The Emperor yesterday gave a private audience to General Count de Loewenhielm. Envoy-Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Sweden and Norway, who presented to his Majesty a private letter from the Prince Royal of Sweden and Nor way. " A new promotion of colonels to the rank of general of brigade has," says the Dionit6ur de l' Arm ee , " just taken place, and it comprises the followi ng C o l one l s o f th e arm y o f the East ; Mazure, of the artillery, director of the siege train •, Borel de Bretizel, chief of the staff of the 3d division of infantry of the Ist corps ; de tostarges de Sainte Alvere of the 52d of the line ; de Mal horde of th e 96th ' • and Jouvin of the Zouaves of the Imperial Guard." A solemn funeral service took place on the 27th ult. at Canino, in the presence of the magistracy, to the memory of Princess Alexandrine de Ble ehamp, the widow of the late Lucien Bonaparto, Prince of Canino. Her mortal remains had been transported to Canino since the 26th of July, and deposited in the family vault of that branch of the Bonaparte family. BOURSE, SEPT. 11.—CLOSING PRICES Cr.3h. fr. ' e.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 23d ult., in the Austrian Gazette, says :—" The last despatch from Count de Nesselrode, so frequently alluded to of late, is dated the 10th August. The Russian diplomatist gives an exact view of the losses which the two parties have had to sustain in the war, which menaces, he says, Turkey with complete ruin. He afterwards endeavours to prove that Russia entertains no fear of seeing her men, money, or resources exhausted, as the Western Powers appear to imagine. His conviction on this point, he says, is founded not only on statistical returns and well-known facts, but on the patriotism of the people and their moral and political sentiments. ' The Emperor Alexander,' says M. de Nesselrode, ' has received from his father as a sacred inheri tance the mission to combat for the honour of his people. All Russia is convinced of that. The reigning sovereign has changed, but the will re • mains the same. The resolution to oppose to the aggression of the enemy all the resistance possible has remained immovably the same as before.' Count de Nesselrode, however, allows it to be seen in his despatch that Russia is very far from reject ing pPa Pe, :Ind lAN: nn nnly rinpAndcz nn the conditions which may be laid down to her. Rus sia,' he says, will be able to find in her national sentiment, and in the force which she derives from it, the means of opposing a sufficient resistance to her enemies, until the moment at which they shall be disposed to enter into an honourable arrange ment.' " AUSTRIA. The German Journal of Frankfort states from Vienna, that the Hospodar of Wallachia has re quested Austria to exercise her influence with Wurtemberg and other German States, to induce them to allow 50,000 German families to emigrate to Wallachia. The Government of that province engages t© grant them land from the property of the religious foundations, and to exempt them from taxes for 10 years. A letter from Vienna, of the 7th, says :—" The Turkish Ambassador Arif Effendi left yesterday for Constantinople, accompanied by his son, and will remain there to the end of December. Before leaving he had a conference with Count Buol. Prince Karagiorgievic, son of Prince Alexander, of Servia, arrived here yesterday from Paris, and is shortly to proceed to Belgrade. At Paris he was decorated with the Legion of Honour. The Hunga rian fortresses of Munkarz and Leopolstadt are no longer to be considered fortresses, but are to be em ployed as prisons. Baron de Back is to be re placed during his absence by Baron de Werner, The Prince of Hess's regiment of infantry, which was on the frontiers of Wallachia, and which was to enter the Principalities, has received counter orders, and is to go to Bruna and Olmutz." A private letter from Vienna states that the negotiations relating to the construction of a canal, with a view to avoid the mouth of the Salina, are in a fair way of success. The construction of this canal is to be effected, it says, at the joint expense of Austria, France, England, and eventually of the Porte. A letter from Munich, of the 7th, says that in consequence of the continued illness of the King, the opening of the Chambers cannot take place be fore the 15th, his Majesty being desirous to make the opening in person. The Senate of Hamburg has passed a vote of thanks to the officers and crew of the French ves sels the Salve, the Arquebme, and the Sainte Barbe, temporarily stationed at Cuxhaven, for having, on the 22d ult., assisted in extinguishing a violent conflagration at Ritzebuttel. Baron Kindiner, the Russian Envoy to the Swiss Confederation, presented his credentials to M. Furrer, the President, on the 7th. On this occa sion Baron Kindiner is said to have expressed the desire, in the name of his Government, that Swit zerland should not in the present cr:ir,ig depart from 41,,,0 pulley of neutrality imposed upon her by Euro pean treaties. The Piemonte of Turin states from Venice that the number of persons arrested in that city and province from political motives during the month of August last was 414. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 6 th have arrived. The Queen had sent 10,000 reals to the sufferers from cholera in the province of Ciudad Real (the real is worth fire sous). The Gazette denies that the works for the canalisation of the Ebro have been suspended, and states that the Government has taken the neces sary measures for continuing them. The Queen had approved of the survey made by a Commis sion of Portuguese and Spanish engineers for the passage of the Madrid and Lisbon Railway across the frontiers. A letter says :—" The troops which were recently sent from this city to Barcelona have received orders to cease their march, and to remain where they now are. This proves that the Govern ment has no apprehension with respect to Cata lonia." STATE OF TRADE. (F ma the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Sept. 11.—The excitement produced by the gratifying intelligence from the Crimea, has mani fested itself not only in the ringing of the cathedral and other bells, and in the exhibition of flags along our principal streets, but also in a cheerful and animated One of feeling on 'Change. This feeling has, how ever, been expended mainly upon political affairs, and but little upon commercial matters ; so that those spinners and manufacturers who come to market expecting a rise of prices to ensue upon the fall of Sebastopol, have found reason to doubt whether there is any necessary connection between the two events. Each class of producers has attempted to obtain an advance—spinners dto I. per lb., and manu facturers 11(1. per piece ; but the buyers have shown no disposition to fall in with the demand thus made upon them ; and yet they are not entirely uninfluenced even in their character of traders by the news which moves society to its foundations. It will be recollected that the market at large became sensibly tamer in the latter part of last week, affording the buyer a slight advantage in price. What was then lost may be said to have been recovered to-day, so far, at least, as yarns are concerned ; both the home consumers and the exporters being now willing to operate, to a limited extent, at the quota tions of this day week, which, at that time, they were showing a backwardness to pay. Altogether, this may make a practical difference of ,Id. per pound. Some sanguine persons say it is more than this ; and, taking exceptional instances, it may be so, but not if we make that wide comparison, which alone can give us anything like a just idea of the state of the market. The greatest tendency to rise is found in the medium counts of pincops and cop twist (about ',`2.'s). On the whole, spinners have effected but a moderate amount of sales. The India houses have made less attempt at business than was expected. The buyers for •tke Levant are quiet, and the Germans cautious. In the department of goods, the state of things is much the same as in that of yarns ; what difference there is being rather in favour of the latter. Long cloths, T cloths, printers, and narrow shirtings, of various qualities, are stall the articles most easily sold. ROCHDALE, Sept. 10.—We have had rather a quiet market in flannels today, and without any change in prices. Pieces are taken off the market about as fast as they are made, and there is not yet any accumulation of stocks. Wool is steady in price as well as demand. HUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 11.—The important news from Sebastopol received this morning has unquestionably had a favourable influence upon our market. While the attendance of buyers has not been larger than usual, there has been more activity visible throughout the morning, both in the Cloth-hall and manufacturers' shops, and plain goods of all kinds have met with readier sale. Several extensive purchases of black, steel, and other mixture doeskins have been made in the hall, and this description of Hud dersfield goods has hung on band now for some time, as we have from week to week reported. Fancy trouserings in new styles, such as have been previously described, have also been in demand, although the de mend for bordered goods do not appear to be quite so brisk as hitherto, many of the tailors cutting the borders to waste. We have as yet no improvement to report in the state of the country trade. In styles for fancy trouserings we have nothing new to report. We have pleasure in noticing that the operative classes generally, throughout this district, are now in more regular and constant employment. THE VACANT ALDERMINSHIP OF FARRINGDON WARD WITHIN.--- Upwards of sixty signatures, in addition ito those already received, were added yesterday to the re quisition soliciting Deputy Eagleton to permit himself to be put in nomination for the Ward of Farringdon Within, in the room of Thomas Kelly, Esq., the late Alderman (deceased). Mr. Benjamin Phillips (of the firm of Fandel and Phillips) was named as a candidate, in opposition to Deputy Eagleton ; but yesterday, i n consequen ce o f th e l arge num b e r of signatures received by the friends of the worthy deputy, that gentleman, in the most handsome manner, withdrew From the field. The Lord Mayor has not at present named the day for • the election. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. (From the Times of this day.) The first question which presents itself to our consideration, after we have given utterance to those feelings of exultation and of gratitude which the glorious termination of the siege of Sebastopol excites at this moment throughout the empire, re lates to the military consequences of this victory, and to the strategical measures best calculated to bring the campaign and the war to a speedy and triumphant termination: A tremendous blow has been struck at the military power and fame of Rus sia, and her naval forces in the Black Sea have been annihilated. The courage, the perseverance, and the incessant labours of the allied armies have al ready disposed of the arguments of those who con tended that Sebastopol was impregnable until it should be invested, and that the Russian soldiers were invincible within its redoubts. It now appears from Admiral Bruat's despatch that the mortar boats of both squadrons took part in the attack, and threw shells against the marine batteries, so that from the heights of Inkerman to Streletzka Bay the whole fortress was encompassed with a storm of fire, and an enormous number of men must have been engaged in the works. Neverthe less, upon the final establishment of General Bosquet's division of the French army in the Malakhoff Tower, Prince Gortschakoff instantly proceeded to execute a pre-arranged plan for the destruction and evacuation of the town. All that night the harbour was illuminated by the lurid glare of burning ships, and from time to time the explosion of vast magazines rent asunder enormous piles of masonry, while an ail -devour ing conflagration swept like the scourge of Heaven over the devastated city. Sebastopol has pe rished, like Moscow, by the hands of her de fenders, while her successful assailants witnessed the awful spectacle unscathed. Means of retreat had been secured by a long bridge of rafts across the great harbour, and for many hours large masses of troops were removed by this passage to the eorthern nine ; but at 8 o'elock in the morning of the 9th this communication was stopped, the whole of the works and town being then evacuated. If, as is probable, any of the Russians remained on the south bank after that hour, they must either have perished in the fire or fallen into the hands of the besiegers. About 500 of the wounded, we know, remained in the Fort St. Paul, and for them an armistice was asked ; but, with their accustomed indifference to the preservation of life and property, the Russians were determined to destroy the city rather than capitulate, and they executed their design. The position of Prince Gortschakoff's army, after the main body had effected its retreat across the harbour, was, therefore, as follows :—His extreme right, consisting of the corps most actively engaged in the defence of the place, rests upon the Sever naia work, or Star Fort, and holds the strongly in trenched positions on the north shore, where, no doubt, considerable preparations have been made for this emergency. His centre covers the Belbek, and is protected in front by the field works thrown up along the ridge of Inkerman. His left wing consists of Liprandi's corps, occupying the ground from Mackenzie's Farm to the heights of Aitoder on the Bakshi-Serai road. No attempt was made by the relieving army under Liprandi to effect a di version during the assault of the Bth, and the severe defeat of the 16th of August appears to have satisfied the enemy that the lines of the Tcher naya were not to be carried. But the result of the general assault and the occupation of the southern side by the Allies entirely changes the strategical positions of the combatants, and alse the objects of the campaign. The struggle for the possession of Sebastopol is at an end. That prize is in our hands, and, as the defence of the fortress and the harbour was the grand object of the Russians, they have nothing left on that spot to , contend for. The mere occupation of the north side of the port is a barren advantage, for, though it might hold a garrison, it cannot shelter a defeated army ; and it is obvious that, after the failure of the main object, all the ability and generalship of the Russians will be required to save the whole body of their forces in the Crimea from destruction. We therefore infer that the northern forts will either be held for a time by a limited garrison, or, more probably, altogether abandoned, in the hope of saving the army. Never was an army in a more critical position. They are confined within a penin sula which affords them no other fortified position, no sustenance for the troops, and no water beyond a certain line. The sea, covered with hostile ves sels, surrounds three sides of this theatre of war, and the fourth is separated from the Rivelan base of operations by steppes and —.sties. The allied armies already oceury.t.one, positions at Eupatoria and Yenikale, which can be reinforced in a few hours by sea, so as to threaten the Russians in their flank and rear • and while it is impossibl e f or the enemy to hold his ground in the south of the Crimea—for which, indeed, there is now no further object—to retreat in this season across the country is a formidable undertaking, while the loss of a battle in the open field would be absolute destruc tion. The Russians are in a trap, from which the Tchongar road and the Isthmus of Perekop are the only means of escape, and even there their com munications may possibly be intercepted. No doubt all these contingencies have been fore seen ; Prince Gortschakoff's plan of campaign has long since been made ; judging, therefore, from the accustomed tactics of the Russian army, as well as from the extreme difficulty of his present position, we incline to the opinion that he will adopt the course of a general and immediate retreat. To hold the Crimea without Sebastopol, and even after the harbour of Sebastopol itself has been transformed by conquest into the base of operations of the invading armies, would be a boot less and unprofitable task, and the danger is greatly aggravated by the fact that the whole body of the Allies, with unlimited means of naval tran sport at their command, will shortly be at Ebert) to advance upon any part of the peninsula which is accessible from the coast. These immedi ate consequences of their own success in the siege operations must have been considered by the Al lied Generals, and the moment is now arrived when they may proceed to open the campaign of which the reduction of Sebastopol was the first preliminary. That field operations of this nature have long been contemplated by the Allied Govern ments is obvious from the large cavalry force they have continued to send to the Crimea. The British army alone can bring upwards of 3,000 sabres and lances into the field, and the French cavalry is still more numerous and impatient of the inaction to which it has hitherto been condemned. Hitherto the contest in the Crimea has been confined to one single object, and, with the exception of the action of the 20th of September on the Alma, and the flank march to Balaklava, it has been a war with out a single tactical movement. General Pelissier has shown, in our humble opinion, very admirable military qualities since he assumed the command, and he has been ably supported by General Simp son ' • but the present state of our affairs deserves to call forth abilities of a still higher and more bril liant order. The Russian army in the Crimea is probably not superior to the forces of the Allies in numbers, and it is immeasurably inferior to them in resources and supplies, as well as in those moral qualities which at once constitute and enhance the prestige of victory. On every occasion on which they have encountered an enemy in this war— whether Turks, French, English, or Sardinians —the fortune of war has deserted the Russian eagles. For them to advance is impossible, for the whole coast is guarded by the enemy, and no Russian vessel floats on those waters. The strong hold in which the Czars had accumulated during the last two reigns an incalculable amount of war like stores for the subjugation of the East has been reduced to a blood-stained ruin by the troops who were glad to escape with life from its burning walls; and the question on which the attention of Europe is now fixed is no longer the fate of Sebastopol, but how is the Russian army to escape from the Crimea, or to maintain itself there ? Wo trust that no considerations whatever will prevent the Allied Generals from giving the most vigorous and imme diate effect to the great advantage they have won. Beyond the time absolutely required for the re moval of the wounded no armistice should be con ceded. To give the campaign its full effect its success must now be rendered absolute and com plete. The Russians are a people who will deny to the last that any advantage has been gained over them, and Prince Gortschakoff boasts in his ac count even in this sanguinary defeat that he was extremely successful in carrying off his army. Fi g hti n g, as they are, in closed lists, without the means of escape, the defeated Russian army should be compelled to lay down its arms, or to fight a general action, which would crown the series of our successes by a still more decisive victory. The peninsula itself is besieged and well-nigh invested by our fleets and armies, and if the command of a single road be lost, the whole line of retreat, and the only line by which supplies and communica tions can reach the Russians, is gone . Such we take to be th e re l a ti ve pos i t i on of the belligerents in the Crimea, and, with the means of acti o n at the disposal o f the French and English Generals, we have confident hopes of a glorious result. ( From the Daily News of this day.) There is a cool, self-complacent effrontery in the bulletins and despatches of Prince Gortschakoff that has never been surpassed. He can make a defeat a theme of congratulation ; and, when he has nothing else to brag of, will boast of the alac rity and prudence he has displayed in running away. He appears to think that hill Imperial mas- - ter will be reconciled to his recent loss, by being toll that "the enemy found nothing on the south ern side but blood-stained ruins." He announces that " the passage of the garrison from the southern to the northern part was accomplished with extra ordinary success," with as jaunty an air as if he were talking of an advance, and not of a retreat., A man of this character—who is equally proud o,t drubbing and being drubb e d—does not take much pains to conceal his losses. It is true Prince Goes' chakoff—or the officials at St. Petersburg who pub' hah as much of his reports as is deemed expedient does not go the length of telling explicitly lief many of his men have been put hors de combat , but he gives a tolerable inkling of it. He aukn°lcr ledges to the loss of a hundred men while crossing the bridge ; and adds that he was obliged to leave " five hundred men grievously wounded on the southern side." If the wounded, whom it was found impossible to carry along with the retreating _ army, amounted to so many, th ose who were ab, l 7, to accompany it, or who w ere sen t aw ay before te; retreat commenced, must have been much incr numerous ; and if 100 men were killed in crossing the bridge, the number of those who fell during' the bombardment and in the assault must ka le been much greater. The epith e t, too, which the Prince applies to the fire of th e a lli es (feu deive r , —infernal fire) would seem t o i n dicate that i ll s nerves had been a little shaken by it. It is ecru' valent to what decorous Englishmen would call an admission that the Allies had made th , place t° : hot to hold him ; or, as mor e pl a i n -spoken 1:) ", -. 1 ple might say, that they had pl a y e d the d e with him. Prince Gortscbakoff's despatch plies that the whole of the southern side has b ee t ; abandoned by the Russians. This is a point as which some—to us unaccountable—doubts w e 'i expressed in certain quarters during the early k g t of yesterday. The croakers would have it t t _ u3 o only the town and the Kai abelnai a su b u rb has '-'``. 6 evacuated. But, even befure Prince Gortsobaki v report was received, all doubts w ere c l e ared 1 1 1 ) 4 the explicit statement of Admiral Bruat approached, this morning, the Quarantine batters e l on board the Brandon, an d ascer t a i ne d m yself tb a o they are now evacuated. They have just blowe up. Our soldiers have left th e i r t renc h es , and al. spreading themselves in groups over the fort tions of the town, which seem to be totally serted." The blow which has just been struck by the s. - 1 , armies is sufficient to insure ou r u lti ma t e triling h - 4 if it is promptly and vigorou s ly f o ll owe d up/ ' - „ - a is what the English public must now look to aall insist upon. There is a natural indolence in A Tf, men that prompts them to withd raw f ro m ani" t h ficult undertaking provided th e y can do so t ot eclat ; and our Ministers—no disrespect to o : ay is meant—are, after all, mere men. Besides/ t ',l o will immediately he besieged by all who hay : e bi - e , interest in letting Russia down as softly as pos h ,, / a There will be renewed offers of mediation ' i t ' o f Austria ; and the Aberdeenites, and the whe lB- 0 the Peace-at-any-Price party, will be brew - i! out into choral chaunts in honour of inage B ; : t o mous forbearance in the hour of victory, and ,to demonstrations that we can now "put an en", o the war with honcur." It is not enough that wel t do so with honour ; we must do so with pr o we must gain something by the efforts we made. When the French and English Governr9e of recognised the four points as a possible W i l c o negotiation, they expressly reserved to there ° o co a right to modify their demands in accor da with the progress of warlike events—that is/ t f ile it crease their demands if success should put it i n ' eo li power to exact more. Russia is now in a T he a worse condition to stand out for easy terms she was then. We say this in no vindictive s P l eo t towards Russia, but with a view to the perril etj peace and security of Europe. It is our busi ll os to render the Government at St. Petersbu r g er , innocuous as possible. We must not allow o t selves to be deluded by such vague talk a s o d. " the war was commenced to diminish the ase e es a ancy of Russia in the Black Sea." That maY ru o ia anything, or nothing. The war was undertake or the fir , t place to compel Russia to abstain frc eil t be propriating territory that of right belonged 0 , 0 0 Porte, and from usurping a (le facto Buze ral oir over the Sultan ; and, in the second place, t° ° re d lish the general principle, that the Great Fol ge f Europe will no longer tolerate the wresting 0 e of ritory from the weak I y the strong by 01 % if arms. The war will have been waged in 3 ,1, it Russia is not compelled, in the treaty by vo'" $ ll is terminated, to renounce in express tertesee. attempts in future to extend its territories by tir o• quest at the expense of any member of they t o ~ean system of states ; and to promise to a ol 3' in future from all interference in the domestic' 00 corns of the Ottoman Empire. N a y mor e, 11 no p ' good faith of _Russia cannot safely b e re li e d °r of fof material guarantees must be e xac t e d f rom bet the fulfilment of these promis es . Th e natcr,",, 03 8 these material guarantees is a consid era ti o n 0f 8 ; to delicacy and difficulty. They must be sueit t a 'ali, impress Russia with the danger of breaking 13 ;d and at the same time such as are least likely to lea the national pride of the Russian people. l o° any portion of the Russian territory—proPerfloat' called—severed from the Empire, the sense° v get raged nationality would expose Europe tothe es or ge of a speedy renewal of hostilities. But there are f p tracts of territory subject to the Government ° pal Petersburg,which the Russians have not yet lestereil to con sider as their own; these might safely be se: c for ai from the Empire. Again, it has been the 1111 ,,, 1 the practice of Russia, when victorio u s, to 1ng,,05 of conquered bear in a great measure the exP7i o 111 , the war ; she could not reasonably cornP,,, - o iiii having " her own measure meted to her so n were France, England and Turkey to exac, t v B a sfiis damnity at the close of the present war.
