THE MILITIA.—A. priest in a neigh bouring parish has fallen on a singular, and, as it would seem, successful device for replenishing his pocket at the expense of her Majesty's service. He has announced from the altar that no married man will be taken in the militia, while all bachelors are liable to be ballotted for, or even impressed. Acting on this hint, backed by his strongest recommendation todo so, the eligible bachelors of his flock have very extensively entered into the matri monial state. As each marriage secures a handsome fee to his reverence, his advice was not very disinterested. —Connaught Watchman. EDUCATION IN THE HIGHLANDS.—The annual meet inc, of the Association for the Religious Improvement of the remote Highlands and Islands was held on Thursday in the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh. Mr. Donald Mathe son, who occupied the . chair, explained that the object the society ha d in view was to provide education for the people in the remote districts of the Highlands, and otherwise improv e their social and moral condition. The report, which was read by the Rev. Mr. M‘Lauchlan, gave an account of the successful operation of the so ciety. At present the number of schools in connection with the association was 17, attended by 1,300 children ' • and.fresh application s were daily coming in from di s t r i c t s where great educationa l destitution prevailed. Profes sor Miller, Dr. Candlish, and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting in support of the association. Sir JOSHUA WALIESILEY, the chairman, then addressed the meeting as follows : — Gentlemen,..... My gratification in taking part in your meeting at this important crisis is clouded by the remembrance that death has deprived us of the countenance of one who had always taken a leading part towards the restoration of Poland, and who deservedly enjoyed the confidence of his own countrymen. His life was shortened by his exertions iu the cause, and in him Poland has lost an earnest a dve ) 9AtOe liberty one of her best and truest champions, and ess4s et us a friend. Ever prompt to relieve suffering hull:Anil - be whatever form it appeared, his zeal was so telUp 9l ll4 .4 geatlelms as to dis arm even his political opponents. (aseerf.) • Mho spirits of immortals can mingle with the saairs of mortals, his will aid our efforts : his example is at least worthy of all imitation. (Cheers.) Before entering on the business of the evening it is necessary I should know your wishes as to the manner in which you desire it to be conducted. A programme has been furnished me by the committee with the names of.the several speakers. It will avoid confusion if this!programme be followed. I will, therefore, ask you to agree to that course. Louis Kossuth will be the last speaker on the list, and, if it be desirable, other business may then follow. One of our greatest poets has said, " Thrice is ho armed who has his quarrel just," and none, at least none here, will question the justice of the objects we are met to promote. If this be so, we can well afford that the moderation of our language shall comport with the dignity of those objects. (Hear, hear.) I believe the time is at hand when tho friends of freedom may prove their sincerity by showing that they seek net the interests of a section, but the will of the whole people. Oar efforts should be directed in unity and sincerity to give Poland the opportunity of selecting her own future. (Hear, hear,) It is not my province as chairman to declaim against the perfidy which enslaved the Polish people, uor upon the ingratitude which so basely be- . trayed the Hungarian nation ; neither would I venture to eulogise tho heroic efforts each has made to gain their independence. Others will better portray the miseries of the past—l will merely express the earnest hope for a brighter future. (Hear, hear.) But I cannot forbear to say that I feel shame and remorse that England, enjoying the blessings of true liberty and constitutional govern ment, should have suffered without an effort the happiness of millions of their fellowmen to be sacrificed to the in sane ambition and thirst of conquest of men whom wo de signate as Allies. (Hear, hoar.) I sin persuaded I speak the sentiments of the great body of the English people when I say they look upon these acts of tyranny with ab horrence, and are prepared to make the necessary sacrifices for the independence of both Poland and Hungary. (Cheers.) lam no advocate for war, unless it be just and necessary. I believe it is so now. I know that war must increase our burdens, diminish our commerce, and restrict our national industry; but I also knew that there are higher aims and aspirations than any which can arise out of mere monetary considerations. I believe that national interests and national honour are involved in the struggle. It is not simply a question between Russia and Turkey, neither is it one to be settled by diplomacy, but between aggression or non-aggroasion, between despotism and free dom. I cannot forget that Russia and her allies have been the means of enslaving Italy, of subjugating Hun gary, of blotting Poland from the map of nations, and would now make Turkey the means of introducing her 'barbarous hordes to western Europe. (Cries of " hear, hear.") What her course would be were she mistress of Constantinople will beat be gathered frcea the'uuscrupulous policy she has hitherto pursued. (Hear.) Of our alliance with Amatiia I will not hem tie./ sees A£ speakr I shall be glad to find it does not end , in disaster and disgrace. (Hear.) Apartfrom the justice of the objects to be attained, I am fully persuaded that it is the interests of Franco and England to make common cause for Polish independence. I believe it to be the will and wish of the people of this country. The sooner we direct our efforts to the real issue the sooner shall we be able to check this game of aggres sion and tyranny, and insure a pormaneet and honourable peabe. (Hear, and cheers.) Mr. SHAEN, the secretary, then reed the address of the Polish committee to the meeting. The document, which was a lengthy ono, was listened to with some few signs of impatience, the anxiety of the auditory being to hear M. Kossuth as noon as possible, but the substance of it was a recapitulation of the efforts of Poland to recover its liberty, and an assurance that the Piles were now ready to rise against Russia, if properly supported by France and England. The address also pointed out the success with which Russian power might be assailed in the Polish territory. Mr. P. A. TAYLOR moved the following resolution : " That this meeting, believing it essential to the freedom and peace of Europe that the encroachments of Russia should be successfully resisted, approves of the present war as a just and necessary one, and emphatically records its conviction that that object can only be achieved by the frank and unhesitating recognition by the Western Powers of Polish nationality, without which the risk of disgrace in the conduct of the war is imminent, and its termination will be disastrous—immense treasure will have been squandered in vain, the unequalled heroism of our coun trymen and our Allies wasted, and their lives sacrificed, not as martyrs to freedom, but as victims of a vicious diplomacy :" at the same time denouncing in eloquentterms the conduct of Austria, which had enabled the Czar to murder the British troops in the Crimea. Ile ridiculed the military array of Austria, which he said consisted of Italians, Hungarians, and Bohemians, all of whom would be ready 'at a moment's notice to turn their guns against their oppressors. He was reluctant as yet to believe that our Government wilfully starved the war, but results which must immediately take place would be the test of their sincerity. Professor NEWSIAN seconded the resolution, at the same time pointing out the necessity of seeking alliances with nationalities rather than with Governments. We were now, he trusted, in firm alliance with Erases, and should, as soon as possible, draw closer our alliance with Anierica, else the Czar would be enabled to recruit his navy by pur chases in the dockyards of the States. If we had with us the nationality of Poland, of Hungary, of Sweden, of Germany, and of America,lhe war 'would become merely the question of a day. The resolution was put, upon which Mr. Earnest Jones endeavoured to obtain a blowing; but upon a show of hands it was decided that the ressolution had been sufficiently dis cussed. The resolution liras thou put and carried unani mously. U. KOSSUTH now came , forward to the front of the plat form,, and his appearan oe was the signal for loud and general cheering. After paying a graceful tribute to the memory of Lord Dudley Stuart, 111. Kossuth said—All of us hale present harmonise in the sentiments prompted by the solemnity of the occasion ; all of us chains an equal share in paying a tribute of veneration to the memory of that noble effort of national virtue which we had assembled to commemorate, and all of us &ate in good wishes for the full and perfect,- restoration of Poland, such as justice claims, her imperescriptible national rights de mand, her dreadful long :sufferings deserve, and the se curity of Europe requires. (Loud cheers.) But though all of us claim an equal share in these sentiments, the part we have to take in the proceedings is different. Since the thundering roar of cannon from around Sebas. topol continues to rouse :ian echo of moaning grief from thousands of British h omestea.ds, is there one British heart all along these isle as, the recesses of which had not t h b r e i e ll n ed a w sk it e h d, th a e n i a n l q v a h i e r u 2 si r— ve w r he i t t he s r ti t r h r e e, p i, el t i h ey e pre sideswpahliech spectre of assassinated overthi Polandswarbaam-Ivasitsehoanvee ? risen before your those eglo riousdead, w h om t h e v torld a d m i res, an d whom Great Britain b ewa il s, h ave fall ion a sangu i nary tribute to dire necessity ; or h ave th ey fa ll en b u t a wan t on sacrifice, im molated on th o s h r i ne 017 the errors o f t h ose who rule ? Can the aged mo th er, pri sud in h er ma t ernal joy yesterday, and childless to-day --ca, a the fatherless orphan, s t an di ng like a broken ree d — can the w id ow, cas t upon public charity (and 11,000 alre lady they are)—can the na ti on , maimed by the l oss o f tl m b raves t an d b es t of her sous— can they comfort themselves with repeating th e wor d s Paulus Armidius sp o k e , w h en f rom th e f uneral of both his sons ho rode up in_ triumph to the Capit o l ? C an they say, " I feel the 117. 1 U o f my h omes t ea d consoled by the good fortune of o.e commonwealth ? " (H ear .) I s there one man all along ith ese i s l es , in the br eas t o f w h om the question had not r iseis,whethor there be no better course for carrying on the war? A course sure to succeed, an d richer in results, anclamt no dreadful in sacrifices ? Ye s , th a t question has been asked. by all, it stirred like the thrill of co nscience through the * breast of all, and whenever it has and the words I have six ken on the subject to the British nation must have haunts (.1. the very conscience of Britan• nia. Dissimulation may feign indifference, and make a show of such slighting opinions which it dislikes ; yet, when sad reality bears out the truth of disregarded anticipa tions, their very resting-place of proud indifference, and of careless neglect. (Loud cheers.) Under' these arcane stsnces, the Twenty-Fourth Anniversary of the Polish Revolution of IS3O is not a mere Polish domestic com memoration, intended to rouse the spirits of the living by recollections of a glorious past—it is a solemn warning of self-preservation, addressed to the British State's wisdom; it is a query, by which the genius of the future is about to test the vitality of the British Empire. (Cheers.) Hence the difference in the part wo have to act. Poland makes the query—England has to answer. England, gentlemen, and not this assembly. The transactions of this evening will not be wound up by words spoken within these walls, nor by the passing cheers some of them may have met. This is no question which England might dis pose of by passing in silence over it. No answer will be an answer likewise. And such will be England's fnture as England's answer will be. As to ourselves, representatives of other nationalities, we, while waiting till the hour for our own battle strikes (and while preparing for it, perhaps) we recline on our arms, and watch, and witness, and warn. In keeping within the limits of this sphere, I would address myself, first, to you my brethren in misfortune, the Polish exiles, and then ,to England, sir, if you give me leave. (Hear, hear.) To you, dear brethren in exile, I have a word of thanks to speak, and an assurance to give,' and an advice to impart. It is eighty-one years sine° Poland first has been qiusr tered by a nefarious ad of combined royalty, which the Swiss Tacitus, Johannes Miller, well characterised by _saying that " God permitted the e,c,t, to ..shess: forth the morality of - kings." (Cheers.) Arid 'it is twenty-fonr years since down-trodden. Poland made the greatest—not the last—manifestation of her imperishable vitality, which the cabinets of Europe ureic) either too narrow-minded to understand, or too corrupt to appreciate. Eighty one years of still unretributed crime, and . twenty-four years of misery in exile. It is a long time to suffer and not despair. And all' this time along, you proscribed patriots of Poland, you were suffering and' did not despair. You stood up before God and the world a living " statue," with the unquenchable- life-flame of patriotism streaming through its petrified limbs. You steed up a protest of eternal right against the sway of impious might, " Mene Tekel upharsin," written in letters of burning blood on the walls of overweening despotism. Time, misery, and sorrow thinned the ranks of, your scattered Israel ; you have carried your dead to the grave, and those who survived went on to suffer and to hope. Wherever oppressed freedom reared a banner you rallied round—the living statue changed to a fighting hero. Many of yours fell, and when crime triumphed once more over virtue and right you resumed the wandering exile's walking-stick, and did not despair. Many amongst you who were young when they last saw the sun rise over Poland's mountains and plains have their hair whitened and their strength broken with age—with anguish, and with misery; but the patriotic heart kept the freshness of its youth. It is young in love of Poland—young in aspirations for her free dom—young in hope, and youthfully fresh iu determina tion to break Poland's chains. (Loud cheers.) What a rich source of noble deeds patriotism must be that gave you strength so much to suffer, and never to despair. You have given a noble example to all of us your younger brethren in the family of exiles. When the battle of Canna was lost, and Hannibal was measuring, by bushels the rings of the felled Roman esquires, the senate of E01:110 voted thanks to the Consul Torentino Varro for "not having despaired of the commonwealth." Proscribed pa triots of Poland, I thank you, and history will thank you, that you have not despaired' of liberty. This Is the thanks I had to give. The time draws nigh when the oppressed nations will call their oppressors to a last account, and the millions of free wen, in the fuluess , of their right and of their self-conscious strength, pass judgment like arrogant conquerors, privileged murderers, and perjured kings. (Cheers.) In that supreme trial the oppressed nations will stand one for all,qcad all for one. (Loud cheers.) Faults, errors, and misfortunes of the past were not in vain. It was a terrible ordeal school, but a school it was. All of us have learnt something, and the best of what we have learnt is, that the principle of national fraternity is more than a philanthropic emotion—it is the only effective guarantee of that freedom which we have to conquer, and which we will oonquer. Let England and America, proud in their present security—let all those whom it concerns — mind my warning, while it is yet time to mind it. Those who will not have contributed to the triumph of freedom, while they had the power to contribute to it, shall have forfeited their claim to a share in that mutual guarantee. (Cheers.) If all the sitns do not deceive us, the men of Poland may be the first called upon to batter a breach. Many will stand by you, and others will fight the common elaewbere ; hut though thattly. they be e nearest is nearest, and close by is best. It is not in vain that na ture, and nature's God, made Hungary a neighbour to Poland, and Poland a neighbour to Hungary. Our ene mies are the same, and our cause is identical. The much I feel, the little I may know, and all I can, my heart, my brain, my arm, shall be with Poland, Remember this. Yet, though I may have learnt something, the pledge of my own fraternal assistance is a small matter anyhow, and oven that little may be lost too soon. We aro mortal men, and I grow old, and am careworn. However, that is not worth while speaking of. I may be nothing, but Hungary is much; and it is the genius of Hungary which assures you, through my lips, Hungary will stand by reviving Poland. Remember my words. (Loud cheers.) This is the assurance I had to give. Last comes the advice. The present complications of Europe —a necessary result of the crimes and errors of the past--cannot be brought to a definite end without Poland acting her part. Of two things, one. Either an insufficient arrangement, leaving the future unsettled, and the war sure to recur again, more dangerous to some, more frightful to all who are parties to it ; or the war carried on to a definite issue. This is the only alternative. In the first case, Poland may lose time, but will not have lost her cause. It is others shall have to meet the imprudence of such an irresolution. And none more so than England, be sure of it ; England, the great nation which the T bites estimates to be " tottering on the climax of its greatness." If this war is not carried to a happy definitive issue, the next time itrecurs, I apprehend, it shall be England's turn to present in her fate a second Poland in history, may be even hero at hand, who knows ? But cer tainly in and about America and in India England's proud standing presents many a vulnerable point. So far there is a difference between Russia and the British empire, not to the advantage of the latter. England has many a vulnerable point, Russia has but one —Poland ! Woe to those who, though at war with Russia, still disregard that fact. (Cheers.) In tho second alternative, why it is perfectly absurd to believe that matters can be carried on without Poland. Those who mind this too late will be brought to remember it with regret. Therefore, I say to you, men of Poland, gird your loins, watch your opportu nity, slumber in your armour, but from this moment never more sleep. Remember the French proverb, "Aide toi et Dieu t'aidera" (Help thyself, and God will help thee). (Loud cheers.) The moment is critical. It requires all the wisdom, all the discretion, and all the resolution of every Polish patriot. I have heard some whispering about tricks discussed in the dark recesses of secret diplomacy. Oh ! the fatal word ! that workshop of conspiracy against mankind, fraught with more and deadlier crimes than ever wore brought to light by tribunals and police-courts. I warn the Polish nation to be on its guard. Cabinet diplomacy may call on Poland out of dire necessity, but if Poland, the nation, takes not in time a stand to revindi sate her personality, and to reassert the position of an equal, who as well has assistance to give as to receive, not merely an object, but a party to the transactions, you may once more experience what you have already experienced from the secret transactions of the Vienna Congress of 1815, where the name of your nation has been made use of to secure concessions, which were net of your concern, and the concession once secured, Poland thrown overboard and sacrificed to expediency. You may see the trick performed once more. Nobody in the world has the right to dispose of Poland's destinies but Poland alone. I call on the Polish nation to take in time such a stand, that on the one hand nobody shall dare to usurp her rights, and on the otherhand nobody shall dare to ignore her. I would say to the Polish nation, be prepared to receive assistance whenever it may come, but beware how thou puttest thy trust inkiugs. They cannot like Poland, because they do not like liberty. (Cheers.) This is my advice. Now to England, sir, if the assembly " .desires me to go on ; if not, I cart stop hero. (Loud cries of Go on.") First, and before all, I desire to pay tho modest tribute of my highest admiration to thlke heroic army in the East , which, with so much glory, was the path of honour, of danger; and of death—(loud cheers) —nothing daunted by the reflection which could not have escaped the mind of many of them, that the post of honour to which they have been sent is certainly not the best which might have been chosen to begin with a war against Russia, and that a wiser pol'ey, by not fettering those auxiliary elements whom circumstances imperatively ad vised to resort to, might have spared much of their heroic blood, all in promising richer results. Sir, I can tell some thing about what heroism is. The unnamed demigods of Hungary who fought the gigantic struggle of 1849 may well claim a place of immortal renown in the ranks of the bravest of the brave. And I who have witnesed this, I say history must go back for centuries to find out a battle like that at Inkerman, where 14,000 men resist victo riously the valorous attacks of 60,000 well-disciplined troops, and where almost every man who fought on your side laid low one of the enemy. The battle of Alma, do. festive as it was in disposition, and therefore barren in re sults, has been glorious in execution, and covered with a lustre of immortality the renown of the British and French soldiers ; but the battle of Inkerinan, from the first in rank to the last, was a prodigy of valour, scarcely inferior to the miracle of Agincourt. (Cheers.) The history of 1854, whatever be its records about the State wisdom of those who rule, will hand down with im perishable renown to the admiration of posterit y the im petuous military ardour of the French, and the stern, im movable courage of the Britons who fought in the Crimea. However, they fight on a battle-field richer in glory than in possible results, and richest in death. One m or e s uch victory as that of Inkerman and the army is lost. It is a sad consolation to know, that the tombs of those glorious dead around Sebastopol can say, like those of Thermopykr, " Wanderer, tell England thou halt seen us slain obedient to our country's laws." The English public have been told of late, that there never was a position of mere press ing necessity, demanding so imperiously a mild that can forestall instead of waiting on events, and can avert evils which it may be impossible to repair. (Applause.) That is perfectly' )ust, though somewhat of an after-fact wis dom coma out too late. But if it be just, then there is no good service to England in lulling public opinion to sleep by advising it to let bygones be bygones. A forestalling mind must look to the past for instruction. And the great lesson of accomplished facts is, that England's policy, in reference to the present war, has been wrong in its dime- tion, and inefficient,: . ful, and disastrous in details. Let us analyse the situ' tEt.Y-our gigantic armada in the Baltic is nearly without altintel-to rest its head upon. To do something effective there, the co-operation of Sweden was a 'fleeter of prime necessity. . England did not get it, because England's policy was wrong. I told England six months ago that the co-operMion of Sweden is to be got only by ceiling Poland to arms. And that was the answer which three mouths lacer King Oscar gave to General Ba reguay d'Hilliern. You have taken Bomarsund, a small matter forsooth, yet when the time comes that necessity will force you to remember Poland, and shall have to thank her fnr the advantage of getting Sweden over to your side. Then Bomarsund would have proved an acceptable offer to Sweden, but you blew it up, as if afraid of your own vic tory ; as if bout on the purpose not to have anything to offer to Sweden. What a gigantic blunder. (Applause.) England pretended to strike a blow at the commerce of Russia by blockading her coast, and England just succeeded in turning Russian commerce to Prussia. England has bent her mind on bringing Austria over to herself; she has sacrificed to this one aim everything : numerous mil lions spent in vain ; the life blood of the flower of Eng land spilt in vain ; principles, political reputation, the liberal character of the war, and the very issue of the war —everything. And has your Government gained Aus tria? ( No, no.) Has it gained that Austria to whom it has sacrificed everything—that Austria of whom even the Times is bound at last to acknowledge that " you are fightieg her battle mere than your own?" (No, no.) What a proud sneering there was in official quarters when I months ago told the good people of England that they believe they pay and bleed for freedom, when iu reality they are made to fight for Austria. Now it comes out at last. Truth will come out, like murder will. Well, has your Government gained Austria ? (No.) Go and read the well-founded lamentations in the organs—even the Mini sterial organs of publicity—about the treacherous attitude and the overbearing insolence of that Austria which your Government persisted in courting with so mach sub mission, and which in return facilitate§ the enterprises of Russia, insults your allies; anti coturteriets 3rOtneethibins , tions. , (Cheers.) It is licit Wee that you have not gained over Austria, but you have theTarks arrested in the midst pf theif Victorious course ; and the fruit of their heroic struggle, poor Wallachia, played over into the treacherous hands of despotic Austria. There is the•Turicish army paralysed' on the one hand, and there is on the: ther hand the Czar left free to throw oyerpowerizignumbers upon the flank and the rear of your gallant ranks in the Crimea. There you have oho spirits of the Turkish army, high flow ing us they were by the victories at Siliitria and Giurgevo, now depressed ; there you have the spirits of the Russian army, depressed as they were, now restored. And oh, I ' could tellyou what it is to neglect the moment of spirited excitement in a victorious army, and what it is to give time to a sieraoralised enemy to resume its spirits and to take breath. One such moment's neglect in a war,'and it is 1 not battlealeentletnen, not battles, but empires, that may be lost by it. And at last, ' alas not least, there is'Sebas topol. Every British heart has watched the great bloody drama there with intense anxiety. I am not wanted to tell you the tale of your heart. I am not wanted to describe how your brave suns have found there an entrenched camp with au army, instead of a fortress with a garrison, as your Go vernment appeared to have anticipated, how new armies are pouring upon your shattered ranks, as your Government does not appear to have anticipated, or else it would be more the,n an error to act as the Government did. • All lam wanted to do is to quote from public report these words : " The question is no longer whether we shall take Sebas topol or not. The siege of Sebastopol, though not raised, may be regarded as at a stand-still. We are reduced, to the defensive." Such is the situation. " The leaves have turned; Russia is the besieger, you aro the besieged." And at what price has been this situation purchased ? Gentlemen, on the sth of July, ten weeks before England embarked on that expedition, ill-advised as well as ill-pre pared, I, in a speech, the contests of which would have been well for Great Britain to mind, spoke these words at Glasgow :—" Not one out of five of your brave sons will see Albino again." Of course I used the number figuratively, as indicative of a great loss. Nov, it is a sad tale ; number your deed, your wounded—and your disabled—more than 40,030 seen out of 30,000 are already lost. My sad antici pations are literally fulfilled ! And here at home —why, here the number of widows and orphans applying for sup port to patriotic charity amounts to ]l,OOO. Such is the position, gentlemen. Now, with that position thus ana lysed, I call on contemporary ago, and on history, to say whether I was exaggerating or toe harsh in saying that England'i policy has been wrong, that it has bees successful nowhere, bit inefficient, unsuccessful, and disastrous every where. But you . are told, for all consolation, that "no Truman foresight would have fully anticipated the extraor dinary position which you find yourselves in." Now, as to this, I must say it is not true. Many a man must have anti cipated that position. I, for one, have foretold it fact by fact, and word by word. And I certainly claim not the slightest credit for perspicacity on that account. I wonder how any thinking man could do otherwise than know all this. Yet if such there were, they could have used the modest light of my poor oil lanip. It is time the people of Great Britain gave me tremendous cheers in return, and went home to toil on, and then to sleep. It is as if I would have been mendicating favours for myself, whereas it was England'shonour, dignity, interest, and success that I held up before their eyes. They went to toil and to sleep, and the flower of your nation went to die ; and now ' after my disregarded words have proved true, some of them (the Scottish Press) say—" The words he spoke read like the inspiration of a seer, or a picture drawn from history." Others, the Times, say--" No human foresight could have anticipated the extraordinary position in which England finds herself." Extraordinary ! Why, what is there ex traordinary in the inexorable logic of concatenation be tween cause and effect ? Is it extraordinary that Sebas topol is found to be an intrenched camp with a numerous army in it? Is it extraordinary that the Czar is pouring whole fresh armies to its defence ? The Czar has been left perfectly free, and with ample time afforded to do it; nay, in fact, he has been invited to it 1.3 , the Turco-Austrian treaty, negotiated under England's auspices. (Hear.) The extraordinary in the matter is not that he has sent reinforcements to Sebastopol, but that he has not sent double the number, and a month earlier. I take this to be so extraordinary that I find only two explanations to account for it. The first is, that to begin a war against Russia with a landing expedition in the Crimea is an ides so supremely absurd that the Czar, giving more credit, for perspicacity to his enemies than they deserved, did not be lieve it until you actually landed off Eupatoria. (A laugh.) Secondly, and chiefly, you are indebted to Poland for not having to meet 100,000 Russians more at Sebastopol. If England did disregard the fact that Poland is the vulne rable part of Russia, the Czar was prudent enough to mind it. In the Crimea proud England and France at tack him ' • he is content with opposing 100,000 m e n to them. On the Danube the flower of the Turkish army, elated by victory, defies and menaces him ; he is content to oppose them with 80,000 men. Bat to Poland, where there is not ono man in arms, but where the unquenchable fire of a heroic nation's hatred is smouldering, he sent an army of 300,000 men, to be prepared for emergencies. (Cheers.) Some may tell you that this is due chiefly to a precaution against Austria. (Hear.) But it is clear to demonstration that the Czar feels perfectly easy about the submissive obedience of his pro-consid in Vienna—(a laugh)—or else lie certainly would not have left the very existence of his 80,000 men on the other side of ;the Pruth at the mercy of his good friend the Hapsburg. Yes, it is -the name of Poland you have to thank for the fact that your whole army in the Crimea, all heroes as they aro, have not yet fallen victims to over powering numbers. Bat the situation is sad enough such as it is. To be sure there may have been some strategical and tactical mistakes in the operations themselves such as they ore. Sir, I have not the, pretension to say that my past career could impart authority to any remarks about military matters. I have not been brought up a soldier, neither can I claim the honour of having had to act the part of a soldier in our glorious war. My duties were high and great, but somewhat of a different nature. They were just what the duties of your Government are now, only that mine were a great deal more difficult. We had to fight two great powers alone ; you are three g reat powers united to fight only one of them. And I had no ready army, no rich treasury, no abundantly stored arsenals, and no free communication with all the world. (Hear, hear.) I had to create everything with nothing, out of nothing — money and armies, and arms, and all military implements —secluded as we were from all the world, and in the in terior with the deluded third part of our population armed with the firebrand and with murder, in a condition worse than the Vendee ever was in France, or Ireland some times to you. These were my duties ! and, besides, my duty has been to designate the objects of military opera tions, and to direct the war in general, just as the duties of your Government are. Yet, as soldier I was not at that time, I could not draw the plan for a battle, or direct it myself. But the fact is, had I been able to add the skill of a soldier to my patriotic devotion, no treason would have crept into our ranks, and Hun gary were now free—not all tho Czars of the world could have defeated us. (Loud cheers.) And who can tell whether I may not yet be called upon to servemy country? Therefore, I thought the time of my exile may be best employed in preparing for possible emergencies, by learning what, unfortunately, I have not known before. And modest as be my humble abilities, I certainly dare say, if assiduous application and discretion, guided by ex perience, may master the mysteries of an art, I am a sol dier now, and feel competent to judge of military matters. (Hear s hear.) With this consciousness, I say there have certainly been some very serious mistakes connected with the operations in the Crimea. I consider it an unaccount able mistake to have engaged in the siege of Sebastopol, without taking previously hold of the strait of Perekop in the north, and taking command by sea of the bay of Kertch in the east, so as to prevent, or at least retard, the rein forcements which it was easy to foresee that Russia would send. And that neglect ouco committed, I certainly can not understand th e logic of shifting the basis of operations down to the southernmost corner of the peninsula, thus leaving the whole of the land free to draw hence supplies to Sebastopol, and leaving the Russians not only entirely at liberty to send reinforcements to the Crimea, but and unim peded, even to enter large Sebastopol in small or numbers, just as they please, without having is called to fi g htf a or ra i o t. vea M bi y a opinion is, that, yours being what . basis (the fleet), you could choose that po N in o t w a , l t l h a e lo b n u g lk tl o m f coast which was the best to rest upon.. your Allied squadron is actually, not s o o ff ut t le he ol & S t e e r s t ri o r p e o r l . , at Balaklava, but north of Sebastopol, se Why Why not remain there with the not draw up your lines, leaning a o n the ea v l 3 2 l e r l y b r k river, r e affording more or less pretection ag ains tthe. at point where the with a well-provided redoubt only road from the interior spl b its in two towards Se bastopol and Balaklava, you, y your position al ready, had restricted the c ommunications of Sebao topol to that narrow convex where it is now your ba fortune to be pent up. You would have cut off all their supplies from the interior, and no reinforcements could have entered Sebastopol without having first to fight separately an open field battle, wherein, certainly, th e Russians are no match for your heroes there. Instead of that, your army has been established so as to leave Sebaa topol perfectly free to communicate with the whole em pire of Russia. Th is is a s trategical error, in my humble opinion, not even justified by tactical consideraticeee. By besieging the north instead of the south of Sebastopol, you would have encountered more of permanent fortifica tions, which is no difficulty for engineers, but would have, encountered lessof an entrenched camp with a less numereu a garrison which makes your real difficulty ; and, at last, once the north-side fortifications taken, you would at sauce NB Ws :s il t 'P s sae rVI 14-"' INr. k _ _.,• , ./:'.,4 -. - kss i s4. l ;', ban Weise masters of the town alike ;w , 4: ' .. t .

Even as to the ' battle of Alma, glorious as it had been in personal gallantry from the Commander-in-Chief down to the last in rank and file, I cannot help thinking that it has been a wanton sa crifiee of valuable life, and very defective in plan. A strong position should never be attacked when it can be car ried by turning it. And this was evidently the case. A march of two English miles, up the Alma, must have forced the Russians either to retreat or to change thslr front with theloss of all the advantages of the position. Not the wings of the line of battle, but the position had to be turned. And as to the battle itself, why the plan of turning both the wings of a line of battle is certainly the worst plan which could bo imagined. It is condemned by theorsans welLisly all the history of modern warfare. .. Also it did !not succeed on the right wing of the enemy where it would have been of ileportaace ; the success on the other wing was just so much as if the French had been bent on the generosity of preserving the Russians from being driven into the sea, in case the English flanking movement succeeded. And then the battle was reduced to a parallel attack in front, which will say so much as a perfect absence of any lan at all. It was a b ull-fi g ht, breasts aga i ns t breasts, and horn against horn. Thu impe tuous bearing of the French soldier, and the stern courage of the English soldier, hare carried the day. The French have gloriously maintained their military renown, and the English soldier deserved the more praise, as your shilling and pound-fashioned military regulations give a very scanty share in those impulses of noble ambition which the French soldier draws front the conscience that he carries the ry ma terialsoobueropfatErotna_gmlbi part -by s e taff in his knapsack—a neglect on ---- civilisation. w] I i c 11 is They adiam ve spo ai t n o ed the nthesh d i a n y in — g all honour t o th em —b ut the 4,000 have and dead laid low on that day could have been spared forsooth. How ever, all these and like mistakes enter only for secondary considerations in estimating the situation such as it is. The chief error (if not more) on the part of the Western Powers is in the very idea of beginning a war against Rus sia by a systematic campaign in the Crimea. Not that I am of the opinion that this war Should have been brought, or should be brought to an end without wresting the Crimea from the Czar, and destroying hi s Bl ac k Sea fleet ; but,' am decidedly of the opinion s th a t, if an attack oil " Sebastopol has nol ottduld notebetves e d by &nava toitp . cre sit a ,s m ;' I,&asterfneilidisY Wrsgr"Atfli-"Btstrageotts - slaughter at Sinop°, a spitematic expetition- to the C r i tes* . ought' to have been one of the last Strokes, and by. no means the first • in no case one which . I would h ave undertaken to deal before I had, by successful victoria* in Bessarabia and around Odessa, driven the Russians back from the Black Sea, and perfectly isolated the Crimea from the rest of the Russian empire. (Hear.) Then taking my stand with the main body of my force in a convenient lo cality, somewhere above Odessa (which, remember, might have been accomplished as circumstances were up to the half' of Septeinber)—l certainly would have sent some thirty thousand men to take Sebastopol, who, heroes as they are, with a gallant, intelligent, and experienced chief 91 their head, as Lord Raglan is, would have done their work up to this day under such circumstances, and would have found Menschikoff cut off from every hope of relief, fighting, at the best, but for military reputation, as General Chasse did at Antwerp. But in the meanwhile, I would have been perfectly content with knowing the Russian fleet was utterly paralysed by the very presence of your vastly superior squadron in the Black Sea. (An easy task with that naval force and with a little vigilance.) I would I have been rather glad to know that the necessity of keeps ing Sebastopol well garrisoned would serve me like a divers sion, by keeping so much smaller the main Russian army. which I was engaged in defeating. But before beating the Russians decisively in the field, in no case would I have severed my disposable forces us you (lid, by separating from the 120,000 Turks on the Danube—in no case would 1 have invited Russia to bring down upon my divided forces 100,000 men, to a position the most advantageous to you, as certainly Sebastopol is—in no case would I have afforded to the 100,000 Russians the additional advattage of the strength of those' f or tifi ca ti ons , o f the vast stores of their almost unlimited armament, and of the guns of the ships moored in the bay. I would have forced the Russians either to fight without those advantages, or to go of and leave those commodities without the 100,000 men; but in no case would I have permitted them to combine both those elements of strength. (Hear, hear.) Such are the facts. • I will not say that you, will not take Sebastopol ; leaders and men like thee() you have there may do prodigies, though their position is certainly anything but sa- - tisfactury. 'Whatever be the shadows which coming events cast over my soul—not for anything would I throw a damp upon the spirits of those brave men, when all - their spirits are required. Lot us take for granted that they succeed; let us anticipate the sight when the shat tered ruins of that glorious army will stand on the smoul dering ruins of Sebastopol. Well, and after ? If your secret aim in this war has been solely the destruction of the Russian fleet ; well, this will be achieved at the sacri fice of the flower of both your nations ; but this you never can dare avow ; you never can avow that your only obt in this war has been a r e he arsa l o f C o p en h agen an d of Na.N varin% from mere jealousy; and if you have higher, broader views-, as have you must, then, supposing you have taken Sebastopol, I ask you—well, and after? The Crimea taken is no security for the future to Europe. It is no barrier which defends, but an acquisition which re quires defence ; and wha t Europe expects to have for issue from this war is a material barrier against Russian preponderance ; a moral barrier of free nations against despotism. (Hear, hear.) Oh, how different would be your position now, if your Government had not sacrificed your own safety to illiberal views, and your own succets 'to regards for the worst of despots and despotism. Sups pose you had organised a brigade of Polish exiles. (Franc*, even the France of Napoleon has a foreign legion. Why not you, who are not over abundant in men, and who have foughtamearly all your continental was. w ith Igor - n't u money, but with foreign armies ; your own braves acting the part which the Old Guard of Napoleon acted.) Sup pose you had organised a foreign legion of Polanders here, and ordered Sir Charles Napier not to care about barren Cronstadt, but to take Riga, and laud the Polish legion, to call on Russian Poland to rise ; and to back them, lead the 12,000 French, who were despatched to the Baltic with such a pompous flourish of Imperial words, and who did so wondrously little there. (A laugh and disapproba tion.) Suppose this dove ; and suppose, at the same time, the Anglo-French army in the East, 100,000 strong, join ing the 12,000 Turks, elated by recent victory, pushing on after the defeated Russians up Bessarabia—what would be Russia now ? and how different would be your position ? (Hear, hear.) But Austria—what with Austria ? I hear the silent question of your heart's anxiety. Well, of two things, one—either Austria would have let you do • and then tho question requires no answer, as she woul d played false against you, and in _this case you had but to call on Hungary and Italy, and where would be Aus tria now ? England takes but too much the airs of looking down upon us with the commisseration of pride in politics, because I or Mazzini, or Ledru Rollin, or these gentlemen here, or any of the proscribed patriots of whatever land, we are but poor exiles. England forgets that those elements to which these now poor exiles belong may weigh tomorrow the destinies of Europe and your own in the hollow of their hand. Why, for a passing moment is Bonaparte not doing it? While a few years back, you have seen him nothing more than an exile, less entitled to reasonable hopes than the elements to which we belong, though not less miserable than some of us. You forget that revolution which we assemble to corn. memorato, you forget how the very Kosziners (scythemen) of slighted Poland have mown down the invincible Cuirassiers of Russia like grass; you forget that we Hun garians, abandoned, almost betrayed by all the world, we alone have stood our ground, not only against that Austria which England so much fears or so much loves, but stood our ground against Russia besides, which you are three powers to fight. (Applause.) Prudence, justice, and humanity, alike advise you to look to nations for your Allies, and 10, England flatters dynasties , and r elies on alliances with passing men instead of looking to lasting. nations. (Hear, hear.) Whatever be my opinions about Napoleon and your alliance with him, I will respect your feelings, and will not say anything to hurt them ; yet, one consideration I would recommend England well to weigh. Napoleon is a mortal man like whoever else. Ho may die by many a malady: he may be dying at this very moment. Who knows? At all events, Napoleon is but a passing meteor; the French nation is a lasting luminary. (Hear, hear.) You are allied to Napoleon. Do you believe to have secured the alliance of the French nation? No, you have not. And why not ? Because your alliance purports to barter away the freedom of Poland, Hungary, Italy, and Germany for the preca rious and disreputable friendship of the Hapsburgs and the Brandenburgs. Such is your alliance with Napoleon. Now, do you believe that the French nation, restored to its sovereignty—as certainly restored it will Le ever would sanction such an alliance? No, by all that there is sacred to men, never, never ! (Cheers.) Mind these my words. But the question is, what have you to do in the situation you are placed ? You are told, for all answers, that reinforcements shall be sent, and reinforcements will do. I went the length of England and the Hi g hlands of Scotland, and seeing the scantiness of your rural popula tion, I wondered where England could find soldiers, once u: N eeriou engaged in a great war. You r cities absorb nation, and it is to-day true what HOrace wrote 2,000 Y years ago ; it is not the cities but the J vihiuralet furnishesopulation, rusti corunt numetclor militunt proles, the stout arms for the war.

Referring to what I was saying (Rene wed cheering. ) about the ccoemsespe,narative barrenness of a success at Sebasto besides, sure to come at a later period , I sue I really believe even now it would he better for you to shift the theatre of the war (provided it be not too l a t e ). Men who, 14,000 strong, have beaten 60,000 Russians, can gain no more glory by the barren laurels gathered on the ruins of Sebastopol than they have, and can nothing lose in their reputation by being despatched to. triumph on a bettor field richer; in results. And, oh ! what could be done with men like these on the right spot ? To engage in is wrong direction may he an error—to persist in a wrong direction and sacrifice life (and such life !) may look like a crime, the retrib u ti on o f wh i ch may yet fall heavily on your heads. Shift the theatre of the war, in• sist peremptorily on Austria's evacuating the Prineipak ties, and on siding with or against you ; advise the Sultan is grant independen ce t o th Roumains and arra them. Enlist the Polish emigration —not in Turkey, but here. Mind where the weak point of Russia is, and strike there. And wherever a governmen t i s p l ay i ng false to you, sail on the nations it oppresses. These are your radical reme dies ; but remember that while in matters of internal pro gress you may say—by and bye wo shall come to that. In a war, everything depends on moments. Opportunity lost is a campaign lost—may be, even snore. Poland is your surest remedy even to-day, but how much surer and easier would it have been six months ago. Ido not speak from even patriotic egotism. This war—such as it is—and may it be carried on, as arraiuged, in the worst possible manner, is manifestly an indication of retributive justice, slow, but sure, in its decrees.
