The contest pursued in the former required every practicable means to insure success, perhaps, may be said, even military safety. The garrison of Kars Perforated a great duty in arresting the march of the:Russian columns till the resources of the allies could be turned to Asia, - either in consequence of a development they had not already reached, or of liberation from the Crimes. Some months since I ventured to predict, in private conversation, that we should have to be satisfied with such an issue of the operations of last year ; and that, assuming the allies to he prepared to take advantage of what has been thus achieved by the devoted garrison, we should have 4o reason to be disappointed when viewing the two theatres of war as one comprehensive whole. I have no reason to depart from the opinion then expressed. With regard to the proceedings of the embassy, I may be permitted to add, that after a disposition was shown to enable Omer Pacha to go to Asia, no effort was spared to ax pedite his movements ; and that of events had . marched with the same rapidity as the wishes of his Exc e ll enc y, we possibly might not now have to lament."

A conference was called, and held at the French head-quarters on the 14th, Omei Pacha, General Pelissier, Gen. La Marmora, Vice-Admiral Sir E. Lyons, Vice- Admiral Bruat, Rear-Admiral Stewart, and General Simpson were present. Omer Pacha urged that his army was the only one, and he the only Torkish general who could successfully oppose the Russians in-Asia. At the same time, if a decisive operation were in contemplation for the execution of which the presence of his army was necessary, and which would have for its object the capture of Sebastopol, he should consider himself bound to remain, as, Sebastopol taken, the affairs of Asia become of com paratively trifling importance. If, on the contrary, no vim likely to lead to a decisive result has been decided upon, and the fate of Sebastopol should not be settled this summer, the position of the Russians in Asia becomes of the last importance, and might eventually decide the fate of Sebastopol. All the members of the conference, without excep tion, objected to the withdrawal of any troops from the Crimea at that time; and Omer Pacha, dissatis fied, left the day after for Conitantinople. General Simpson wrote to Lord Redcliffe, to beg him to use his powerful influence with the Porte, to cause the 'opinion of the conference to prevail over that of his highness,. and the ambassador wrote in the same sense to Lord Clarendon. paay.

Lord Clarendon's instructions to Lieut.-Colonel Williams, upon appointin g hi m comm i ss i oner to attend the head-quarters of the Turkish army in Asia, are dated Aug. 2, 1854. Col. Williams was to act under the orders of Lord RAglan, and from him receive more detailed directions for his guidance. On political matters he was to keep up a commu nication with the Foreign-office, sending his cor- . respondence with Lord Clarendon through the em bassy at Constantinople, under flying seal, and also transmitting copies of all his diplomatic letters to Lord Raglan. Any representations he might wish to make to the Porte were to be made immediately through Lord Raglan, and by him through'Lord Stratford de Redcliffe. On urgent military matters he was allowed to communicate with the Porte di-, rectly through Lord de Rebliffe. When Colonel Williams arrived out at Constantinople news of the defeat of the Turks at Kuruk-Derek and the occu pation of Bayazid by the Russians had just been', received. On the 22d of September we find Lord Clarendon, writing to Lord Redcliffe :-- "The Turkish Government still seems animated by the Fame spirit, and determined that the army in Asia shall bring defeat on the Sultan's onneetand continue to be-au-, embarrasszieht to the allies of her Majesty. A foreign general of distinction, and said to possess great milita r y talent, is on the spot and willing to take the command of Kars. His appointment is advised by the Commander in-Chief of the allied armies ; it is specially recommended by the British ambassador, and agreed to by the whole of the Ministers, with the exception of the Grand Vizier, and against all this weight of authority his decision is allowed to prevail.

The effects of civilisation, which have spread far and wide from Europe to the remotest parts of the world, have not failed, in spite of ancient prejudices, to penetrate gradually the Tierkisla Empire, and it is not too much to say that a complete revolution in the manners and customs of Ottoman subjects is rapidly progressing, and that but a short time will elapse before Turkey and its population will enjoy the advan tages of European institutions. The project novetubmitted to the public has been for some time under the consideration of leading and influential parties in Constantinople. Turkey has hitherto been, and still is, deprived of many, Alseful and even necessary provisions for the comfort and eithainent of its numerous cities, not except ing the capital itself: Foremt st amongst its most urgent re quirements must be placed the adoption of Gas, now wholly unknown there; and it has been ascertained that the intro duction of this admirable and economical mode of public and private lighting will- be hailed as a boon by all classes of the population, from the lowest up to its high-minded and en lightened Sovereign, under whose immediate patronage it is . proposed to place the present uneertaking. . The Ottoman Empire affords a wide scope for the opera tions of this Company, as the following facts will demonstrate. Constantinople has a mixed population of Mussulmans, Enro- Peans, Greeks, Armenians, die., approaching a million of souls ; it contains n. large number of palaces and public edi fices. The Sultan alone has several immense palaces; the Sublime Pert., where the Government affairs are carried on, forms of itself a small city ; there are also extensive barracks, colleges, manufactories, cafés, theatres, club-houses, and other places of public entertainment, several hundred mosques and bath -houses, a large number of which, for the comfort and Convenience of the inhabitants, are, kept open during the Whole night, as the time most suitable for the enjoyment of that oriental luxury. Steps have been taken to procure from the Sultan of Tur key a firman or concession, securing to this Company for a term of years the exclusive privilege of supplying with gas all places within the sovereignty and dominions of the Turkish empire. Ter.) of the directors, one h wing an intimate knowledge of the country, the other being practically acquainted with all the details in relation to the manufacture of and lighting by gas, have already left this country for Constantinople, with full powers to conclude the necessary arrangemen's. Coals are to be had in Turkey, and it is believed that Eng lish enterprise will work the native collieries more vigorously than hitherto ; but shipping employed extensively between the countries, esAffially in the grain trade, will always carry coal in lieu of ballast from England at a moderate rate. The coke, tar, andather products arising from the menu feature of gas, are Jive to meet with a ready market. Calenlatien;havolnen made as to the expenses of the present Mode of lighting 4ritit OUT e oil, and the directors are enabled to state that gas can be supplied at a rate which will compare so favourably as to render certain its general adoption. Power will ho reserved to take advantage of the privileges of any law that has been or may be passed for limiting the liability of shareholders in joint-stock companies. The directors have every confidence that the privileges they are seeking will be granted exclusively to this Company; but If from any cause they should deem it advisable to abstain from proceeding to carry out the objects of the Company, the capital will be returned, lees preliminary expenses, which shall not exceed one shilling and sixpence per share. Applications for shares to bo made, on or before the 10th Inst., at the offices of Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, 29, Threadneedle-street.

The object of the letter is to urge on the attention of the Go vernor the benefits that would accrue to the trade tact the river St. Lawrence and provincial canals from the reciprocal exchange, free of duty, of the productions of Canada and those of the West India Islands, by which measure the commercial inter course between the British Canadian colonies would be assimilated with that existing between the northern and southern States of the adjoining Union. In his answer Mr. Hincks promises that the sub ject shall receive his best consideration, but declines expressing any opinion as to the arrangement until he has ascertuined the views of the Canadian Go vernment, as well as the state of public opinion in those islanis with which he was about to 19e con nected. Intelligence from Panama reports the isthmus to be unusually healthy. Business was improving, although everything continued to look dull. The opening of the Central American line of steamers was looked forward to with anxiety, as it would be the means of having a very beneficial effect upon the commercial affairs of the isthmus. Rice and corn were very scarce, and hardly procurable at any price. Flour, preserved meats, beef and pork, Ste., were furnished to the Panama market almost exclusively from Aspinwall ; but prices varied- so much that it is impossible to give quotations. The railroad was in good order, and trains passed over generally two or three times a-day. Although there was considerable disturbance in the interior of the State, Panama and the surrounding country was perfectly quiet. A great deal of agitation appeared to exist at Bogota respecting the coming Presidential elec tion, and it was by no means improbable that another revolutionary movement would take place. The British mail steamer Valdivia arrived at Panama on the sth ult., with dates from Valpa raiso to the 16th, and Callao to the 26th of Jan. Business at Valparaiso was better, and large speculations were making in the wheat of the coming harvest. Wheat was sold at from 3.75 to 4.00 the fanega to he delivered in March or April. Flour had fallen off in price. The grain crops pro mised abundance.

The French transport Infernal, 6 guns, arrived on the Ist of January, 51 days from Rio. She brought 36 passengers. She sailed from Brest with the Perseverante. The two arrived only a few days apart at Rio. The French brig Alcibiades, 20 guns, 43 days from Rio, had also arrived. She saluted, on anchor ing, the English and French Admirals. Peruvian intelligence contains little beyond the Congressional debates respecting the constitution. The Diario reports the arrival at Callao, in the French frigate Ama, of a Mr. Pelissier, who, it says, is brother to the F renc h General of that name. The yellow fever is repo r t e d as rag i ng a t Hua naaehueo, near Trujillo. And five days later Lord Clarendon writes to the same :--- " Your Excellency wll inform Reschid Pacba of the great dissatiafaction which all the proceedings in connec tion with the army of Asia have caused to her Majesty's Governm en t. " Ismail Pacha was the new Asiatic commander proposed by the Turkish Government at this time. Col. Williams saw Lord Raglan at Varna on the 18th of nd by the 17th of Sept. h a d reac h e d Erzeroum. Aug.,kis correspondence concerns the want of fuel, provisions, clothing, and pay. His des ' patches to Lord Clarendon on these subjects are full of details respecting the resources of the Asiatic army, even to a tabulated statement of the aecommo , dation for troops and horses existing at Erzeroum. One of the first things he mentions, and it is a topic to which he frequently returns, is the cowardice of Selim Pacha, he who afterwards de ceived the garrison of Kars until its surrender. In a letter from Lord Rodeliffe to Lord Clarendon, dated Sept. 27, the ambassador expresses a hope that the Allies may be able next year (1855) to send troops to Asia ; in another, from Lord Cla rendon to the same, dated Oct. 21, it is represented that " the operations in Asia in that year will pro bably be carried out on a large scale." Oa the 25th of Oct. Colonel Williams writes his first letter from Kars, which he had entered the day before. He transmits to England detailed accounts of the force there, and recommends certain arms and equipments, and expresses the opinion " that the general officers and colonels commanding are un worthy of holding commands." The difficulties these persons and their chiefs threw iu his way, the' frauds practised on the army and on the Sultan at Kars—for instance, rations being drawn for 35,000 men there were only 14,000—a1l these things, and the exertions of Col. Williams to overcome them, are sent. On the Gth Dec., 1854, Col. Williams has to com plain in another quarter. TO Lord Radcliffe he writes : " Since I fulfilled the duties confided to me, as her Majesty's commissioner to the head quarters of the army of Kars, I have had the honour of addressing to your Excellency 54 despatches. Each packet has been accom panied by a private letter containing details and sugges tions, which, had they found place in my public com munications, would have ipconveniently lengthened those documents. On the 23d of September, I was honoured by a-private letter from your lordship, appeal tO.EDy • @pink...and, a r7itcfatunr WPM .rap= tivity of unfortiinatelruistati dies who bad then recently been seized and carried int the mountains by Skeikh Schaniyl, the Circassian chieftain. Since the above date, I have not been favoured with a line by your Excellency, even with an acknowledgment of the recep tion of my public or private communications. To one who has served your lor iship for so many years such an avowal on my part can only he recorded with feelings of deep disappointment and mortifiea'-ion — feelings which I have studiously eudes.vouret/ to conceal, even from my aide-de-camp and secretaries, because each successive post was anxiously looked for, in the hops of receiving answers from your lordship on the pressing and impor tant affairs connected with my mission to the headquar ters of the army of Kars. I need not trouble your lordship with a recapitulation of the contents of my various identic despatches ; but as the Earl of Clarendon and Genera'. Lord Raglan will be furnished with a copy of this communication, I owe it to her M.ijesity's Govern ment and to myself to remind your lordship of c Hunan nications public and private especially addressed to you." Having referred to the points contained in his former letters, ho concludes : "I shall fail to preserve the power that I have. I shall not succeed in shielding the troops from starvation unless my demands be complied with." But three weeks before Colonel Williams made these complaints, Lprd. Redcliffo had presented the whole of that officer's representations, recommen dations, and suggestions, in an imposing and autho ritative form, to the Ottoman Government to ob tain the rank of Ferik in the Ottoman army, equi valent to that of General of Division, for Colonel Williams. To Lord Clarendon Lord Redeliffe writes, on the 15th Nov. "Knowing the extreme importance which your lord ship attaches to the reinstatement of the Turkish army at Kars, I make no apology for trapsmitting the rapers inclosed herewith, which I drew up myself from Colonel Williams' voluminous despatches, and submitted it to the Turkish ministers, with an instruction to M. Pisani, recommending the whole of that officer's demands and suggestions to their most serious and immediate atten tion. Later portions of the same correspondence have been conveyed in a similar form, and with similar re commendations, to the SeraskierlPacha and his col leagues. lam assured by M. Pisani that on the vile of the Turkish ministers there is every appearance of a sincere intention to comply with my demands. As RPM al I am satisfied that the supplies are aotually sent, and orders corresponding with the suggestions of Colonel Williams, issued in stringent terns, I shall not fail to apprise your lordship of so gratifying a result. The sub ject being now relieved of much superfluous and exagge rated matter, the course is made clearer to Turkish ap prehension, and I trust that the experience of last year, which certainly was painfttKenough in its most reduced proportions, will have its effect in contributing to the success of my endeavours, grounded on the strenuous exertions of Colonel Williams, and aided by the peon niary supplies derived from the loan." The paper, which Lord Rsdcliffe says he drew up himself, is a very elaborate and complete state ment of the condition of the army at Kars, contain ing a series of specific and detailed demands for the repair of its deficiencies. In a letter of the 28th Dec. Lord Redoliffe writes to Lord Clarendon : " It remains for me to say a word respecting my silence towards Colonel Williams. It has, in truth, continued longer than I intended. It originated in my anxiety not to occa,ion disappointment by announcing measures which might or might not be carried into effect. I knew that, durin; the winter season, little, comparatively, could be done; and I preferred, under the pressure of business flowing in abundantly from other sources, to give my correspondent an answer in full, rather than keep up a succession of partial communications." The ambassador encloses in this communication an enumeration of the demands put forward by Col. Williams, and which he (Lord Redoliffe) had successfully enforced on the Porte. They refer to the reeall, displacement, nomination, and promo tion of officers, including the commander-in-chief, and the advancement of Col. Williams himself to a position of influence and authority with the army. In a despatch dated Jan. 11, Lord Clarendon re grets the silence which Lord Redcliffe, the natural protector of Colonel. Williams, shouldhave observed towards him when "surrounded by robbers and traitors."' By the en , ' of D3oember, 1854, the diploma of a Ferik in the Turkish army was sent to Colonel Williams ; the old commander-in-chief at Kars had been superseded, and Vassif Pacha was in com mand. The corruption and peculation pervading every department of the army and its auxiliary services is the theme of nearly all the letters writ ten during the intervals of war. Ex pede Ilerculem. An apothecary at Pent was employed to supply the army with medical stores. Dr. Sandwith reports to Colonel Williams : "M. Della Sulla delivers the medicines at the retail price of the shops in Constantinople. No control, I sin told, ;a exercised over him. His interest is to supply as much as possible; but quack ?leaflets ' veicka inOrt4. " It is not enough for me to know in general terms that Brigadier• General Williams is a military officer, in structed to act as her Majesty's Commissioner with the army at Kars. It is further desirable that I should be made acquainted with the extent of his powers on the spot, with the degree to which he is independent of the Commander--in-Chief, and how far it is expected by her Majesty's Government that I shall insist on obedience to his demands without reference to any doubts enter tained of their expediency, either by the Porte or by me. It appears that the Commissioner asserts in practice a right of being obeyed without hesitation, whether the objects of his suggestion■ be the punishment or. removikl of an officer accused by him, the correction of an abuse, the introduction of an improvement, or the direction of a military operation. If such are his powers I know noE in what he differs from a commander-in-chief, except that he is net charged with taking the field in person, and directing the whole of the operations on his single re- Jionalhility.. The Porte most-certainly does net- puttlair construction on the authority with which he is invested, nor have I so read my instructions as to ask for more on his behalf than a fair reliance on his judgment in mat ters affecting the administration of an army, a respec.- ful attention to his advice and suggestions for the pro motion of its efficiency, and that amount of confidence as to military movements and plans which ought to be inspired by the intimate relations subsisting between the respective Governments. Observing in your lordship's instruction to General Williams that be is directed to maintain the most friendly relations with the Turkish officers, I venture to ask whether the tone which he has assumed towards them, the abruptness of his charges, the violence of his threats, the dictatorial spirit which, according to his own account, has generally characterised his proceedings, can be said to correspond with that in tention, or to favour those dispositions to reform which it is our object to produce no less at Kars than through out the Turkish empire. We should be inconsistent with ourselves if we sought to trample down what remains of Turkish independence." Another reference to General Williams's authority occurs in a message from Rescbid Paella, who sends word to Lord Radcliffe (Despatch 136) : " The British commissioner has a right to be consulted on matters immediately connected with the army in ge neral, hut not to interfere with orders issued direct from the'Porte to its own officers on internal questions." On the 25th January, 1855, General Williams still complains of Lord Redcliffe's silence, and ex claims : " What could I not have done in the shape of reform, had even a note from Lord Stratford and an order from the Seraskier reached me by the return of the first Turkish post, which was then as regular in its arrival as that between London and Constantinople." As to the reforms obtained by Lord Redcliffe of the Porte, he says : "My recent reports show that the army of Kars re mains without a single reform but that which has been worked by a commissioner unacknowledged, though feared, by the base man who commanded it, and by those equally despicable officers who are still, at the end of January, 1855, at the head of its various regiments and corps." In a report addressed to Lord Redclin by M. Pisani, occurs the followin g passage, illustrating the feeling entertained t owar d s General Williams at the Turkish Ministry at War. The date •is May 15, 1855 this the Seraskier answered, that all this was very well, but that he wanted to know, for his information and guidance, whether General Williams was actually the commander-in-chief of the Kars army, and by whose au thority he a-sutned the command. I said that General Williams was not the commauder-in-chief of the army, but her Majesty's commissioner, and as such it was his bounden duty to keep his Government informed of every thing going on in that quarter, The campaign, which ended with the fall of Kars, was about this time commencing. On the 3d of June General Williams writes to Lord Clarendon : " If the Russians leave Georgia to attack Kars, it would show that our spies and travellers have under rated the:r strength, or that they find no succour coreirg to-us .itli r E. v,u I)4* y 0 or Datown ; 0, 1)e this as it MAY, I have now moiithst proiisionala • that gird'. son, and I tru,t the central Government and the allies will soon prove to this remnant of an army that it is not absolutely forgotten by them." On the 20th Juno Lord Redcliffe writes : " I went over to the Porte yesterday. The Seraskier expressed his decided opinion that a body of 10,000 min might be detached from Batourn without danger to that establishment, which would still have 4,000 or 2,000 for its protection. It was proposed, at the same time, that some vessels of war should be directed to cruise along the coast of Circassia, and I was requested to submit this plan to Rear- A.diniral Sir Rimund Lyons, under an itn pression that a joint operation, in concert with the French, would he desirable." It appears that the Turkish Ministers did not at this time believe in the possibility of maintaining. Kars, and looked forward to a retreat upon Erze- TOlllll. On the IGth of June the first attack on Kars was by the Russians. On the 30th of June a council of Turkish Ministers was held, when Lord Redeliffe was present. He writes of Kars : " It appears from the English statements that the de fences of the fortress were deemed to be of considerable strength, that the place was provisioned for a month, and that the Turkish army may be estimated at 18,000 men. It was clear to all present, that whether the Rim'dans besieged or turned Kars, the Turkish army re quired an effort to be made for its relief with all practi cable de-patch, and that of three possible modes of act ing for that purpose, the only one likely to prove effec tive was an expedition by Kutais into Georgia. To send reinforcements by Trebizond would be at best a palliative. Tu establish an entrenched camp at Re clout Kaich would at this unhealthy season be equiva lent to consigning the troops to destruction. The real question was, whether a force numerically sufficient, and in all respects effective, could be collected in time at Kutais to make an excursion iuto Georgia and threaten the communications of the Russian army, Wacing it in deed between two hostile forces should the Turkish army still be in a condition to take the field. It was for the Turkish ministeri to solve this problem, and they pro peeed that the expeditionary force should be composed of 12,000 men trim Bitterne and the aeighbooriug sta tions ; of the troops made over to General Vivian, and estimated at 10,000 of all arms ; of General Beatson'e Irregular Cavalry; of 10,000 men to be detached from the army in Bulgaria as the complement of the Turkish Ceutingent ; of 5,000 more derived from the same source ; of an Egyptian regiment of horse now here, and of another regiment expected from Tunis. To these the Seraskiar proposed .to add 2,000 Albanians by way of riflemen. These several forces completed, according to the figures, would present a total of 44,400 men, not perhaps to be ,reckoned with prudence at more than 36,000 effectivee." Lord Redeliffe called attention to the importance of not exposing the Turkish Contingent, or Gen. Beatsou's Horse, prematurely to a trial beyond their strength. The Seraskier reported that no aid was to be expected from the population of Mingrelia after the events of the previous year. The Porte proposed to give the command of the army to General Vivian. This general was invited on the following day to give his opinion, and i asked for exact details of the means on which he might reckon of transport inland. They could not be given, and he said it was one thing to throw an army on a coast, and another to feed and move it. He was asked then to make out a list of what would be required. In a despatch dated July 13, Lord Clarendon condemns the whole scheme. He said : "It would be in the greatest degree imprudent to throw on an unwholesome coast, without means . of land transport, without any certainty of provisions, without an assured communication with the rear, without an ac curate knowledge of the country to be traversed, or the strength of the enemy to be encountered, and with the probability of a hostile population, 40,000 men, hur riedly collected from various quarters, imperfectly disci plined, doubtfully armed and equipped, and as yet un organised, and to expose them at once to all the hazards and difficulties of a campaign against a Russian army. They would fall ill between Redout Kaleh and Kutais, and be defeated between Kutais and Tiflis." He advised that reinforcements should be sent to Trebizond, and thence to Erzeroum "If the army at Kars cannot maintain that position against the Russians ' it should fall back upon Erze roum, and the whole Turkish force should be concentrat ed there. If the Russians are to be defeated, it will be easier to defeat them by the whole force collected, than by divided portions of that force ; and the defeat would be the more decisive the further it took place within the 'Pinkish frontier." On the 14th of July Lord Panmure wrote to Gen. Vivian on the plan proposed by the Porte : " It is too late to regret the policy which has left Bri gadier-General Williams and his army exposed to such straits ; but it would be only opening the way to fresh failure to follow out such schemes as have been proposed for the purpose of relieving him." In the middle of June Omer Pacha sent to the ge nerala and admirelecommanding-in-chiet the French plan of Omer-Par,ha,. ar-submiittetttp the conference, was characterised -by its 'author as a powerful diversion from Redout Kaleh, and its ob ject, as described by its author, was to " menace thence the communication of the Russians, and so oblige them to abandon the siege of Kars. "The pro ject found favour at Constantinople, and Lord Cla rendon was of opinion that Omer Pacha should be at liberty to employ his troops as his Government might think fit. To Lord Cowley he wrote regretting that the French Governinent should oppose the expedition, and stating that her Majesty's Govern mentd doubt whether it were wise, even if they had the right to do so, to object to the adop tion of such a course by the Porte, since the void by the withdrawal of Omer Paella's troops from the Crimea might be filled up by sending Vivian's Contingent to either Balaklava or Eupat or i a . O n the 4th of Aug. Lord Cowley replied by telegraph : "The French Government will not oppose the pro jected expedition to Asia Minor, under Omer Pasha, provided that the numbers of the Turkish Contingent before Sebastopol are not diminished." On the same day Lord Clarendon telegraphed to Lord Redcliffe " Omer Pacha can go to relieve Kars provided he does not diminish the Turkish troops before Sebastopol, or disturb the garrison of Yenikale. Desire Vivian to hold himself in readiness to go to Eupatoria with his Turkish Contingent." The French Emperor's opinion of Omer Paella's diversion is thus intimated iu a despatch from Lord Cowley to Lord Clarendon, dated Aug. 29 "The Emperor has no objection to the removal of the Turkish troops from Balaklava, and to tieir being re placed by others, provided that the allied commanders in-chief have no objection ; but he will not take upon himself the responsibility of saying more." Omer Pacha was exceedingly anxious to take with him to Asia the troops before Sebastopol, as bailie a more homogeneous and better trained corps than that at Enpatoria ; but General Simpson pro tested against the exchange of those troops for the Contingent. The fall of Sebastopol put an end to these difficulties and delays. On the 13th of Oc tober news reached Constantinople of the glorious repulse of the Russians before Kars, on the 29th Sept. On the 12th of Oct. following General Williams was writing to Lord Reddliffe : " Notwithstanding the severe defeat experienced by tbe enemy, he still blockades us closely, and the erection of huts in his camp this morning shows that he intends to continue this course. He knows that all our cavalry horses and the great majority of the Artillery horses are dead of starvation, and that we cannot take the field he is also aware that cholera inflicts severe losses on us, which are aggravated bylthe difficulty we;have:of burying the horses. Under these circumstances I address these few lines to your Lordship, with a hope that such repre sentations may be instantly made to General Omer, to act with vigour and decision against Georgia ; otherwise, in spite of our brthiant victory we must ultimately fall into the enemy's hands." On the 6th of November Gen. Williams writes:— "I hope Omer Pacha is acting like a brave and palan47, 194_ .414 L, ce.mll , lo.ink,Otat tbak.ctom *itn -pay*-noc,refoWtb his letters . ‘s:'Qtr.tite of November, Lord Redcliffei'bids M. Pisani ex press to the Turkish government " the regret which I feel at the apparent inefficiency of Omer Paella's movements, at his neglecting to communi cate by Batouna with Kars." At the same time Omer Pacha was entreating the ministers at Con stantinople to send him every available trausport horse. The Seraskier exonerated Omer Pacha from the blame cast on him by Lord Redcliffe, and said— "AU this requires money for its execution. The treasury is much embarrassed, and unless 100,000 purses or 50,000,000 of piastres are paid them on account, out of the luan, every operation must be stopped. Omer Pacha demands money, Vas;if Pacha likewise, and the ccuntuanler at Eupatoria. B,sides, the grain merchants and others refuse to give provisions notes] they be paid reedy money. Under these circumstances, both the Grand Vizier and Fuad Pacha urgent'y beg of your Excellency to be so good as to take their demand into duo consideration, and issue oriers to the proper quar ter." General Mansfield gives an account of an int, r view he had with the Seraskier at this time (No ceinher 25.) " Is conclusion, his Excellency turned round to me and said that I was as well aware as ho of the continu ous exertion made to help the garrison by him, but that front the first we bad been agreed on the neces , ity of a large and well-combined eff,rt. That Omer Pacha had been delayed by causes over which, unfortunately, he could exercise no control. It was as affair of the Alliance. It had all along been understood that such measures ah it was in their power to take without the army which had been detained in the Crimea, would not suffice for the object in view : still they had persevered, as in duty bound. His Excellency then proceeded to tell one, with much force, that the 'rinks were absolutely debarred front executing what was necessary for the prosecution of the campaign, by the de!ay in giving them the advan tage of the loan. The grain, to the amount of 1,000,000 of'kiloes, bought by him for the service of the army, was not for,varded to the coast because they could not pay for it." General Mansfield added his own conviction that in a supply of money lay alone the chance of re lieving Kars. Meanwhile General Williams was straining every nerve to feed the garrison and town, and induce Selina Pacha to join him with his forces ; but nei ther persuasions nor orders would induce this man to move : to every solicitation he replies with a promise, which is never fulfilled. Au order was sent from the Port to advance at all hazards, with the assurance that he would not be held responsi ble if his army were lost in the attempt to help the garrison of Kars. By the 19th of Nov., Col. Simmons was writing to Lord Clarendon that Omer Pacha had nct many more than 20,000 men wherewith to meet the enemy in an advanced position, and on the 19th of Dec. Lord Clarendon was impressing on the French Government the danger to which Outer Pacha was exposed. On the 21st of Dec. the Earl of Clarendon re ceived from Consul Brant, of Erzerourn, whose zeal chines through the whole of these papers, a note, dated Nov. 27, announcing the surrender of Kars. The fall of this fortress increased the anxiety of the Porte to strengthen the remains of the Asiatic army, but on the 10th of December we find Gen. Codrington writing to Lord Redcliffe : " I wrote to Marshal Pelissier in the general tone of your letter, expressing to hint the great object it seemed to be to get the Turkish troops to Trebizond, and that, if done at all, it should be done at once, and offering m y assistance, if I could, by communication with our navy, to further this object. His answer was, that he could not consent to their leaving Eupatoria, without the ex. press sanction of the Emperor of the French." And Lord Radcliffe replies 4 , The Turks are sadly mortified by the embargo which appears to have been laid on the Egyptian troops at Eupatoria." We conclude this examination with an extract from General Mansfield's memorandum on the measures taken for the relief of Kars since his arri val at Constantinople on the 26th of June, 1855. He says : " The ambassador never ceased from making the most urgent representations to the Seraskier and the Porte. On the receipt of every fresh despatch from Kars or Erzeroum, either M. Pisani or myself was sent to enforce the necessity of relief. My appearance at the Somas kierat might indeed have been considered an ill omen for the garrison of Kars, so frequently was I obliged to make the same representation. As may he seen from my numerous reports of the last four or five months, there was no want of alacrity on the part of the Turkish Government. There was a dilemma from which they sought to extricate themselves, but in vain. They could only accomplish reinforcements by driblets to the garrison of Erzeroum, and they were thwarted by the apathy of their own commanders. If I may be allowod to offer An opinion on the real cause of Ulf dOltroue On the first day of the session very little is done in these colonies. The speech is read by the Speaker, and ordered to be printed ; then, instead of moving the address in answer to the speech as in England, a select committee is appointed, con sisting of members from both sides of the house, to prepare the draught of an address. This draught is reported a few days after (in this case on Tues. day, as the house does not meet on Saturdays or Mondays), and then debate takes place, but seldom to the extent it does in England. Under the new constitution the English practice will probably be adopted, as more consistent with a responsible Ministry. There is one fact connected with the new mem bets for the diggings which deserves notice, and which may very considerably affect the future of the colony. I may here remind your readers that the new act giving to the several mining districts power to return members adds eight elected mem bers and four nominees to the house. Some of your readers will remember that one of the un caught leaders of the Ballarat insurrection was one Peter Lalor, an Irishman. A reward was offered of 4001. for his capture, and it was said that th e Government knew of his whereabouts, but that they had captured more than the law officers of the Crown could successfully deal with, and after the first acquitt d Peter Lalur was left to his own devices. He was wounded in the attack on the stockade, and has, I hear, had his arm amputated at the socket. This is the new member for Bal larat, and his leadership in the insurrection and. his lost arm—" lost (of course) in defence of the liberties of the country"—now constitute his poli tical capital. I am not aware what his qualifications for a member are • his friends and count r y men sa y h e i s a man. of intelligence and of some power as a speaker. But speaking to a mob is not the best training,for legislative debate. Everybody wanted to see this Peter Lalor, and many anxious inquiries were whispered about him. I doubt very much whether any constituency in the colony would have deliberately recorded their solemn approval of in surrection, excel). Ballarat. But even there we meat accept the Governor's testimony that con tent and satisfaction prevail. It is not the intention of the Government to in troduce any bills, except such as are absolutely necessary. Among those an. anKfor the - registra tion of voters awl an act for'the prevention of bribery are, as it were , conditions preced en t t o the first working of the new constitution. The other Government bills merely provide for the keeping alive of certain expiring laws. There is also a disposition among; members not to prol o n g the session by the introduction of new measures, and the only bills likely to be brought in are one, or perhaps two, for the amendment of the admi nistration of the law ; one for the adaptation to this colony of the Common Law Protedure Acts of 1852 awl 1854 ; and ono for the introduction, with the necessary modifications, of the the English Trustees Act. The Estimates will, it is said be passed for six months only. This seems to me to be no more than a becoming abstinence on the part of the present Council—consisting, as it does, of 22 nominees, of whom 11 are official and 11 non official members ; and of 44 representative mem bers, of whom 20 were elected when the population was under 80,000—about one-fourth of the present population ; l6 more when the population was about 160,000 or 180,000, and the remaining eight recently by the milling constituencies, the new elements not being represented. A large meeting has been held in Astley's Am phitheatre to take steps for the repeal of the grant of 50,0001. for the several religious denominations. The Independents will accept no aid, the Presby terians object to it, so do the Wesleyans. The members of the Church of England are divided upon it, on grounds of expediency, not conscience; while the Roman Catholics desire its continuance. I do not know whether the question will be mooted this session, but it will be carried in the new Le gislature. The gold brought down by escort this week is 45,809 oz. The market is without change. MELBOURNE, Nov. 24.—Yesterday the GovernOr opened the last session of the present Council. As the same day was chosen to proclaim the new eon. stitution, a good deal of interest was evinced in the ceremony. Moreover, there was some curiosity to see what sort of folk would come up as representa tives for the new mining constituencies. I believe some people expected to find in the " diggers" members some rude, unwashed fellows, with un shaven faces, clothed in " jump e r s ," w ith revo l vers in the broadbelts, and short black pipes in their mouths, so' that when one or two prelinly-diessed, sober-looking citizens came up to take the oaths there was a little disappointment. The house was filled with ladies—the wives of members and others —that hon. members were obliged to creep - into holes and corners, sit on the steps of the Speaker's platform, or get out of the way aOssksiry coui4., - TM3 --- strungerte AfelleiritiiiVjte — Wotters' gallery were both full ; indeed, I never saw greater evi dence of intense interest on any previous occasion. There was also a, greater crowd out of doors than usual. The day of the proclamation of the new constitution had been proclaimed a holiday. The shops as well as the public offices were closed. The Supreme Court did not sit, so that to-day counts as the ikird day of term instead of yesterday. After the delivery of the speech there was a _gentle but very general and unmistakeable expression of applause from hon. members, and when the Gover nor left the house he was well received outside by the crowd. 856. 10 very.l it3 66 t 4 0 w ir i L o re jej iese 13°D° . , :k 60 t o ...._ to 0 5810 60 ii- _to' 613 k t to "T o a to Oboti , Ds 11 1 0 1; 0( fl i to I )/ Is to to 13 59 r5t 50s tO ' j og iw g tO o d to 145- 214 :•., „ 9:1;1 • • • 48 ,321, 5.%Yi ••• ~, ght __ •• „, rwl v" . 9 E 3 17 a • 0 O 2 0 0 " 0 O 0 root oir dtv En mAr.
