In these days of timorous policy and compro. mising measures, it is a relief to meet with a man like Lord ELLENBOROUGII, who will tackle a que E , tion boldly, and, while he goes into no violent es.-tremes, contrives to express his opinions in a decided manner. On Thursday night the noble lord put the question to Lord RUSSELL of which ha had previously given notice, as to ihe conduct of the Prussians in Jutland. Certainly, it would be difficult to find a subject that presents a more exciting theme of discussion, or a more fruitful topic of interest. From first to last, the course pursued by the promoters and prosecutors of this unequal struggle have carried on their transactions and regulated their policy by means of manage- ment and a course of action which we instinctively shrink from, as diametrically oppcsed to the dic tates of reason, the language of truth, and the claims of honour. It has been, however, more re- ceitly that the feeling of spite, or revenge, has so plainly manifested itself as to preclude the idea altogether that the war has been carried on in the ordinary style that prevails among civilised nations, and was regulated and controlled according to the principles inculcated among a high and honourable nation. Lord ELLENBOROUGEI very briefly but very forcibly explained his meaning, set forth his strongest points of argument in a clear and concise form, and finally wound up by telling the Ministers their duty in language that neither they nor the House will be likely to forget soon. The Con ference, which does nothing when it meets, and then is postponed for an indefinite time to allow its members to recruit after the great exertions of looking at each other, was the basis of the noble lord's speech. He said that the engagements entered into by the belligerents and stipulated for at the Con ference had not been kept, and therefore we could not put faith in any future promises that might be made in the deliberations which ensued, and were so far ratified by the contending Powers. If one thing more than another is a sham and a delusion it is to put forward this plea of a Conference to hoodwink the people of this country, and to bridle the expres sion of their just wrath and virtuous indignation at the treatment which the Dines have received. It is notorious that the Prussians have not condescended to play at keeping the engagements entered upon, and Lord ELLENBOROUGII deserves great credit for putting a tongue, as it were, to the irritated feelings, and outraged sympathies of his countrymen, and also it may be added of all men who have a spark of honourable sentiments or kind wishes animating them. The Prussians have checked the commerce, they have interfered with the means of communica tion, and they have broken off the wires of the telegraph. They have made a pretence of paying for what goods they have received, or provisions provided for them, bat it has been a mere farce of remuneration after all. When any acknowledg ment has been given it has not been in the form of money, but merely a receipt for goods delivered, or something of that nature, which documents are of no " marketable value" at all. Sach devices are almost too pitiable to think of, and it is adding insult to injury for them to perpetrate these disgraceful expedients upon a suffering and struggling popula tion. The times are not so very far distant when a whisper of such double dealing would have raised the dormant feelings of the community and pat a stop it once and for ever to the farce of a Conference, whose decrees were waste paper, and whose stipu lations as stable as water. Nowadays, however, political economists, peace-mongers, and time serving place-holders have so changed the aspect of our social being, and tampered with the inte grity of our public affairs, that all things are changed for the worse, and a hint is scarcely dropped where a generation ago there would have been murmurs loud and deep. It is certainly true that Denmark has been bitterly wronged, but the charge against the Prussians rests on other grounds, and is founded on many grave offences of a general and not an exclusive nature. It may be the first count of the indictment that they have so acted as belligerents as to draw down the indigna tion of Earope ; but beyond this, it must be added, that they have grievously insulted other nations, besides cruelly injuring the one marked out es a special victim and signalised as a spoil, where the greed for gain and the mania for the acquisition of territory, which infiames the desires and excites the ambition of the Germans of the present day, may be satiated to the uttermost. Lord ELLEN BOROUGH very truly declared that, " in not adher ing to the stipalatioes agreed to they committed an offence not only against Denmark, but against every one of the contracting Powers." The sooner the case is looked upon in this light the better. Ther© can never be any advantage gained by shirking the responsibility that devolves upon us, and persisting to put aside the real bearings of the question. We had better contemplate the aspect of affairs from the point in which the other nations of Europe and the world at large regard it. They see that we have been duped, cajoled, and completely set at nought. The next thing to do is to consider whether it is worth while to put up with these affronts, and to render ourselves so ignominiously conspicuous by appear ing so poltroon in our policy and false to our en gagements as we are, t o w doing. Another good point in this exceUeut discourse before us was that which descri:oed the opinion that prevailed in Germany at present. They have got the idea that whatever they do, or whatever we may say, there will be no ultimate measures resorted to, " that it is not our intention in any case to lift up our arm for the purpose of arresting tho progress of their wrong doing." Can a more dangerous sentiment prevail amid a nation that very plainly can exer cise no restraining power on itself by the dictates of humanity and honour. Lord ELLENBOROUGII, in conclusion, made some allusions to the imperfect manner in which the present Cabi net conducted affairs, and lamented that they seemed always willing to let German influences prevail to the exclusion of their claims, and the de triment of other States. Earl RUSSELL indignantly disdained the idea that he suffered any impression to influence his course, or to guide his conduct, and directly assumed the responsibility of all foreign transactions to himself. This is no very light thing to do, and if he is to stand or fall by his foreign policy, he and his colleagues are in a very shaky position, The attempt to rule by 61 moral" force has proved most unfortunate. It would be far more dignified to let all foreign affairs alone than to be thus perpetually mixing up ourselves in these em broglios, and then declaring when things come to a crisis that we cannot or must not go to war. Eng land attained her present proud pre-eminence under the guidance of wiser and more inspired men than any that now sway her destiny, and neither the Monarchs who led forth her armies to conquer nor the Statesmen who directed her councils to impress and influence the world, adopted the mean spirited policy that we have no claim for fighting in any other cause but our own. Selfish views will ruin any State, and it is lamentable to find them thus so prevalent in places where they Should be banished and driven forth with scorn. Lord BROUGHAM has clearly defined the state of things by Baying that never was there sa strong a feeling, SJ 1.1111L11:110U3, among all classes as that which now prevails in favour of Denmark and against Prussia. This is the text of tne ar g umen t , and it remains for the Cabinet to study its hearings and reflect en its aonsequences, for upon their issue there depends all that they hold dear as regards place and power, and all that they should raokon as of far greater moment in the way of character, and of rendering up a faithful account of their steward9hip to that public they are bound to serve. For a very long period the defects and short comings of our Admiralty administration have been matters of public comment. Whether as regards efficiency or economy, complaints are con tinual)y made, unfortunately in cacst cases with THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1864. too much reason, against our naval authorities. While the votes are censured as unnecessarily arge, and the expenditure condemned as preposte- rously lavish, it is at the same time contended that the officers and seamen of the Royal Navy are the most inadequately remunerated of any class of public servants. This is the more unreasonable, as in no department of the administration do English* men take more pride than in the navy, and no amount is begrudged to it if fairly required for any purpose of the service. Least of all is it the national wish that men who follow an arduous and hazardous profession, and the value of whose services to the country are so great and conspia cuous, should be stinted in their receipts, kept for a long term of years in a position which in many cases is scarcely raised above absolute poverty. Such, for instance, would in these days be the position of a married lieutenant in receipt of the magnificent income of £lBO, and unfortunately most of the inferior grades of the service could supply similar examples. The fault of all this seems to lie rather with the system than with any particular individual or party, and while in most other instances continual complaint and well founded opposition have at last brought about the desired reform with regard to the Admiralty, and all belonging to it, matters are left pretty mush as they were. Some faint indications of better days are occasionally visible, and from time to time some of the most grievous abuses are discussed, if not remedied. On Thursday evening Lord CLARENCE PAGET brought for ward a question of considerable importance in the Committee of Supply, and his proposal, although incomplete and partial in its nature, and subjected to severe scrutiny and considerable censure, was nevertheless a step in the right direction. The noble lord moved for a supplementary estimate for the pay of the Nagy, with a view of remedying some of the exist ing deficiencies. Lord C. PAGET proceeded to show that the receipts of naval officers had been much diminished of late years, owing to the loss of two sources of emolument—the prize money ob tainable in time of war, and the freight that was formerly received on the carriage of gold. In con sequence of the changes in these respect the pay of the navy is, according to Lord C. PAGEI"S testimony, very inferior to what it was in the days of a former generation. The petty officers are not paid so highly as the same class of men in the merchant service, and most foreign nations make more liberal allow ances for their superior officers than we do. Lord CLARENCE PAGET entered at some length into a careful explanation of the various additions which he proposed to make to the pay and allowances of the different grades of officers and petty officers. He gave also some explanation of the inconvenis ences arising from the changes of 1860, when it was ordered that officers arriving at the age of 60 should retire nolens volens—a determination which was taken with the view of assisting promotion, and of securing a more active class of flag officers. The noble lord, after concluding his observations, moved that a sum of £55,266 be granted for in. creasing the full pay of executive officers of the navy. With very few exceptions the speakers who followed approved of the principle which he advocated, and readily admitted the necessity for increased liberality, but considerable exceptions were taken to many parts of the official scheme. It contains many inequalities, and is, on some points, very unsatisfactory, but we are surprised that Lord C. PAGET should have failed to remedy one of the most glaring pieces of injustice in the service. We allude to the regulations respecting the promotion of masters. Sir LAWRENCE PALK in animadverting upon this unaccountable neglect, remarked that this valuable body of officers ap. peered to be the only ones of all the ship's crew who were diequalfied frow receiving marks of .oral approbation for distinguished services, and in support of this assertion he cited the case of Mr. Roberts, a master in the Royal Navy, who, during the Crimean war, commanded the Cyclops while in action, and performed many other signal services. The same gentlemen, it will be remembered, displayed remark able ingenuity and promptitude on one im portant occasion, when the senior officers were puzzled how to disembark the troops, and Sir L. PALK might have instanced that occasion as a proof of the sound practical ability so often pos sessed by these officers. Yet from one of those official prejudices which so often keep back merit in this country, they have never been fairly treated. Their pay is very inadequate, their chance of pro motion nil, for what reason, save routine, it would be difficult to say. The very order of June, 1863, which professed to redress their grievances by con ferring upon masters who had served 15 years the rank of staff commander, without additional pay, placed them, in all cases, junior to the lieutenants and, as Sir L. PALK justly observed, a man who' had served with credit for many years might natu rally feel aggrieved at being placed, perhaps, under a youth who know nothing of the service. Why should the masters be deprived of the power of rising in the service ? Why should they of all men in the Navy be restricted to the one particular office when in so many instancesthe h y ig a he re r ofitnaens ? and proper persons for holding much This is so glaring an injustice that we agree with Mr. DUFF in finding it difficult to understand how the noble lord who introduced this measure of so called reform could have possibly overlooked it. Why should the pay of the masters be so dispro portionate to that of other officers, so that after twenty years' service a paymaster receives £6OO, and a master £328 ? Why when men are flund capable of performing great public services in a time of difficulty and trial should those services be altogether overlooked because they happen to hold the rank of masters. Mr. ROBERTS, whose case we have mentioned, was entirely unrewarded for his exertions during the Crimean War, we believe to his great disappoint ment. This is not the way to induce able and energetic men to enter our navy or to keep them there. There can be no greater mistake than to discourage any class of public servants—to give them the conviction that whatever services they may render, or however great may be their zeal for the public good, no mark of favour or of re cognition will be accorded to them. The very men who are most calculated to be valuable officers will be the ones moot quickly disgusted with a system which cramps their energies and fetters their laudable ambition. Men of talent and spirit will be slow to enter a profession in which not only they have but a small chance of rising, but causerise, Aaunscisct eEeewTsr for o or taf seemsepivpnte eho i r a aturo t h r fihyet have r us n e to o i s p . an abs o l u t e certainty of not being permitted to relsVene t co m nf u e e s h s the flag o n o d gffiivc a ee t nr t e st n u t i t h o o n i ws than pha t t hi h ,y e ri r d g r Cie.

By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we (7inies) have received our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 23d April, Hong kong to the 15th. April, and Shanghai to the 2d of April. INDIA. The following is the letter of our Calcutta cor respondent : " CALCUTTA, April 23. " The Viceroy and the whole of the principal members of Government left Calcutta last week for Simla. Three months' experience of the new rule has proved what immense advantagea are pos sessed by a Governor-General who has that know ledge of the language and the people of the country which alone can enable him to begin his work at once. Sir John Lawrence has not lost a day since he has been here. Toe quantity of arrears that have been cleared up in every office almost exceeds belief. Departments had done their work just when and how they pleased for so long a time, that when a searching supervision came they were un prepared to meet it, end the sharp rebukes of the Viceroy startled all the sinecurists in India into unwonted activity. This has been a part of Sir John Lawrence's work, but that work has not stopped here, He has originated or pressed on some social measures of great importance. The Sanitary Commission, presided over by Mr. Strachey, is busying itself with the condition of towns and cantonments, and its efforts will in all pro ' babiiity add much to the comfort of the soldier in India, no less than of the general population. The attempt to mitigate that great evil which sends a third of cur army into the hospitals, by the adop tion of a strict system of supervision, can scarcely be otherwise than successful under the cautious regulations recently decided upon by the Supreme Council. Minuter social matters then these have received attention. The greatest—at this season of the year nearly the only—variation in the mono tony of Calcutta life, is the outbreak of a fire. Somebody sees the thatch burning upon a nat ive hut, and goes off to fetch the engine. Wi t h in finite screaming and yelling coolies drag it alon g , and by the time the fire has burnt itself ou t, and destroyed probably a hundred huts, the eng ine is got safely to the spot, and then pulled bac k a g ain with the same ceremonies. The performance has been repeated very often latterly, and at one large fire at Kidderpore the Viceroy was present with the Lieut..-Governor of Bengal. There have, no doubt, been many things in Calcutta which surprise a man who has never indulged in apathetic listles sness himself, and never allowed it in others so far as he could prevent it ; and the way in which a whole ff street is burnt down hero with hardly an save it could scarcely have been the le as( of these surprises to Sir John Lawrence. Dr. Hathaway id resolved to organize some better syste m of dealing e ort with these accidents, and he is also trying to estab lish a Humane Society, and institution for the relief of European vagrants, of w h o m there are large numbers in the Presidency towns. Sir John Lawrence's last public act in C alcutta was to lay the foundation-stone of a Sailors' Home. These are not great matters, but they ser ve to illustrate the thoroughness with which the Viceroy has set about his work. As a good many officials know to their cost, there is scarcely a petty detail of the Government machinery which tee has not personally examined. It is not at all likely t o p rove a com fortable administration for that class of public servants who consider that in drawing their salaries they have done all that the count r y can fairl y ex pect of them. ......... We take the foLoCwilinlgNsAllDmarY of news from f the summary we spoke the Overland China Mail d o meatth in at C t h h i e na la . tte l r n c o i u ty r last ove rland premature. The Taeping rebellion is still the chief subject of in teresth surrendered Awapgril of the surrender of Liyang and Kintang. The announce.. The garrison, it is true, had expressed their intention and willingness to surrender, but, unfortunately, the Im perialist forces who were to have kept Chang-chow foo in check and its garri son employed while Gordon opeiated against Kintang, fell back upon Woosih three days before Kintang was attacked. That city was, there fore, strongly reinforced from Chang-chow-fa° very shortly before Col, Gordon appeared in front of it, The rebel force thus thrown into a city which was about to have surrendered consisted of teen flora the Two Kwang (Kwangtun and Kwangsi), and are the most hardened of all the Taeping troops. These are what maybe termed the original rebels, and are the men who made all the mischief. They are brave, remorseless, and cruel beyond anything ever recorded of their opponents. Colonel GOrt101:1'0 force has witnessed the most bitter evidences of this in children slain and young girls shamefully m utilated. From Japan we have no definite news of importance. The Tycoon and Mikado are said to be on good terms, and the foreign question still engages the serious attention of native statesmen. The intelligence from Shanghai is purely local. The steamer Tsatlee has been restored to her owners, Messrs. Russell and Co., and the pira tes who took h er have been com mitted to gaol; those belonging to American juris diction have already made their escape from prison, a fact which casts a stigma upon the United States' gaol authori. ties. Bulkley, the murderer of Captain McKinnon, has been executed. Robberies of a daring kind are still re corded, the Cantonese who infest the settlement being the chief offenders. From Pekin and the Northern ports we have no particu lar news. All is quiet at the different ports on the Yang tso.e. . . The city of Hangchow, which hail been far nearly three years in rebel possession, fell to the imperialists on the 3let From the Southern ports we have no political intelli gence. Some correspondence with regard to the customs at Fuhchau has been published. The Commissioner there has been endeavouring to oblige the traders, but has not succeeded, and both parties have lost their temper as well as their judgment in consequence. At Canton and Macao matters go on as usual. Seizure of the Chinchas Islands by the Spanish Squadron, (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) The steamer Ecuador, chartered by the Peruvian Government, arrived at Panama on the night of the 27th from Callao, which port she left on the 17th inst. This steamer was despatched to convey Senor Villena, with special despatches from Peru to the United States Government at Washington relative ,o the important .movements of the Spanish equad- ron. On the arrival of the last mail we published the fact that the Spanish Commissioner had not been receired at Lima, and had sailed from Callao on the 3th to join the Spanish fleet. On the morning of he 16th H.C.M. frigates Resolucion and Tri- unfo and gunboat Covadonga made their ap pearance again in the bay of Callao under a full head of steam, and it was soon ascer tained that their intentions were hostile to the place. The day previous they had taken possession of the Chineha; Islands, hoisted the Spanish flag made prisoners of the Governor and officers of the island, and captured the Peruvian transport Iquique with her officers. Thence they proceeded to Callao for the purpose of surprising the Peruvian squadron in that port; but this was fortunately frustrated, as the fleet had time to get up steam and move under the protection of the guns of the Csstle before the foreign merchant vessels could be moved out of the way of the operations of the Spaniards. The Span. ish fleet sailed from Csllao OR the evening of the 16th, probably for the Chinches Islands. The Peruvian steamer Tumbes left Callao on the morning of the 17th to watch the movements of the Spaniards. At the time the Ecuador left the greatest excite ment prevai!ed in Callao. From the efficial documents forwarded to us from Callao we compile the following particulars : " On the 20th of March last, Senor Eusebro de Salazai addressed a note, marked confidential, to the Peruvian Minister of Foreign AffAirs, stating that H. C. M.'s Government had sent them on a special mission to Peru, and asking for a day and hour to be fixed when he could have an interview with the Minister." On the 23d of March Senor Ribeyro, the Peruvian Minister, replied, naming the 30th of March for the interview, which took place, and at which Senor Salazar presented to Senor Ribeyro a note from the Spanish Government, under date of 18th January, introducing Senor Salazar as a Special Commis sioner whom that Government had sent to Peru, considering it advantageous to the interests of Spain in her intercourse with Peru to have such an agent, and requesting that the Peruvian Govern ment would attend to his mission and receive him favourably. On the Ist of April Senor Ribeyro addressed Senor Salazar, stating that his Government would receive the latter with the greatest cordiality, and extend to him all the facilities and courtesy recog- nisen by custom and necessary for the discharge of his mission, and added in regard to his oharac- ter as CommiEsioner " As the commnnication of the 18th of January of the present year accredits M. de &Inir in a purely confidential character, to judge from its text, the undersigned at once accepts him as such an agent of the Cabinet of Madrid, because the denomina tion of Commissioner' not being in conformity with the diplomatic rules and usages, might per haps cause embarrassments in the course of nego tiations, which, for the benefit of both Governments, must be removed at any cost. If Mr. de Salazar, as is to be hoped, admits this previous and precise explanation, he may, whenever he deems it conve nient, begin his mission, sure to find on the part of Peru and its administration the happiest disposi ions to come to an understanding with the repre sentative of the illustrious Spanish nation." To this Senor Salazar replied as follows : " LIMA, April 12, 1864. " The undersigned, Special Commissioner Extra ordinary of H.C.M. has had the honour to receive the note which H.E. the Minister of Foreign Re- lations of Peru has had the kindness to address to him on the date of the Ist inst. In it the Peruvian Government repels the title of ' Special Commis sioner' as not being in conformity with diplomatic rules and usages. "The memorandum which the undersigned has addressed to the representatives of the allied nations, and of which a copy is enclosed, will explain to ILE. the Minister of Foreign Relations the signi fication the Government of H.M. will give to the proceeding of that of the Republic in these critical circumstances. "In one of the last sessions of the Permanent Commission of Congress, it has been given to understand thac the present Administration has the intention of contracting a loan of seventy millions of dollars, which, being excessively in advance of the requirements of the Treasury, is, according to the opinion of influential public men, for the object of gaining means for an opposition to the just demands of Spain. "The Peruvian Government will do what it may think most convenient ; but the undersigned hopes that during his absence from Lima the subjects of the Queen in the the territory of the Republic will be respected, whatever nay be the eventualities of the future. Tne moderation of its Government, of the authorities, and of the country in General, will give to the Government of H. M. the standard for the conduct it will have to observe hereafter ; and if, unfortunately, excesses should be committed, the reprisals will be prompt, energetic, and decisive, for modern Spain is firmly resolved not to allow her sons to be trampled upon or her flag to be blemished. " The undersigned repeats to H. E. M. Ribeyro the assuraces of his most distinguished considera tion. (Signed) "EUBERIO DE SALAZARI MAZARREDO. "To H. E. the Minister of Foreign Relations, Pre sident of the Council of Ministers of Peru." Senor Salazar then left Callao without waiting a reply. In regard to the memorandum mentioned in the above, the official organ of the Peruvian Govern ment says :—" The memorandum mentioned by the Spanish commissioner in the note that has been inserted, will be published, in order that the world may judge of the state of aberration in which it has been written, and some documents that will be sufficient to form a sentence on the immense medley of calumnious accusations with which it is filled." The document had not been published at the time the steamer left Callao. After this note complications appear to have com menced, and Senor Ribeyro addressed a long letter to the Spanish Minister of State, Senor Salazar having left Callao, justifying the course of Peru from the time of her independence, and showing the disposition manifested by her to assume friendly relations with Spain; and offering to treat of the difficulties existing between the two Governments in a frank and equitable manner. He alludes to the generous welcome ex tended to the Spanish fleet on its arrival at Callao, and complains that the Admiral of the squadron returned their hospitality with the most haughty disdain. In referring to the Talumbo affair he says that a quarrel occurred between some Spanish settlers and :some natives in which b Spania.d and a native were killed and others , wounded, and that the authorities were using due diligence to find out and punish the delinquents. That this quarrel has been used as a pretext by the enemies of the country to make complaints to Spain, and that the Spanish Admiral, Senor Pin zon, has been particularly partial and passionate in his relation of the matter. lie denies that Pen attempted to borrow seventy millions of dollars for any purpose whatever, and he expresses the hope that all questions pending between the two Go vernments will be amicably settled, and winds up by saying that Senor Salazar, in leaving Lima, has left in his note a motive for deep feeling on the part of Peru, attributing to the Government a bad dis position to enter into a settlement with the Govern ment of Spain, that Spaniards were receiving every protection according to law; that they were the con stant object of a sincere and cordial hospitality; ' that they should receive no injury either i❑ person or property, but that they should be left in full exercise of their occupations unmolested, and that these privileges were not granted them by any fear of toe threats of Senor Salezar. This is all we can find as having officially tran- spired. On the 16th, after news was received of the seizure of the Chinches, the President of Peru issued a proclamation, of which the following is a transla tion :-- "An eminently scandalous act has just been perpetrated in the waters of the Pacific by the Spanish squadron under command of its Admiral, D. Luis H, Pinzon, Our guano islands have been occupied by foreign forces which have seized a na tional vessel of war and hoisted, as well on shore as at sea, the flag of Castile. Such an act, executed without any previoua declaration of war, without any legal motive that would authok:ise it, makes its authors aggressors of the territory 0 1 our country, violators of international law, and gratuitous despoilers of foreign property. " The arrival of a p re t en ding Spanish diplomAte, with the character of commissioner, whose title alone was an outrage to the dignity of Peru, charged, as is believed, with exaggerated reclamations, has been the signal of this unjustifiable proceeding which I, fulfilling an austere duty, make known to the Republic. The Government has fulfilled its defending the honour of the country against tno pfe- I tensions of an envoy who has answered to the regard shown to him with outrages to the nation, the laws and the Government. All the documents of this affair will be published at once, in order that you may judge of my and my cabinet's behaviour, which on this occasion, as always, has been worthy of the nation's confidence. "I believe that the Government of Spain is foreign from these aggressive acts of its deputies on the shores of Peru ; but if they should, unfortu nately, be authorised by it, wa will never consent to the humiliation which those same people want to impose upon us, who in Ayacucho did not know how to fight, nor had the courage to defend the possession, held for centuries, of the conquest. The Government is taking those measures of secu• rity which the critical circumstances we find our selves in do require, and seeking means to vindicate the national honour and to save our treacherously and violently robbed riches. Still fresh are the memories of the war of independence in which 1 was an actor, however small. I will repeat those old services, not excepting the sacrifice of my life, which belongs entirely to the generous country that to me who not deserved it gave its votes to occupy the first post of the nation. " JUAN ANTONIO PEZET. " Callau, April 16, 1861." A Southern View of the Battles in Virginia, -0-- (From the index.) Lee's programme is sufficiently plain. It Is to compel his enemy to become the assailant under the most disadvantageous conditions, to fight him where his superiority of numbers will help him the least; to drag him through an unfamiliar country, away from his supplies and his base of operations, to bus'. band his own strength for the day of final struggle, and then, if strong enough, to close upon the enemy, exhausted and bleeding from his frequent wounds. From the first it will be seen that Lee has adopted very different tactics from those which he has ordinarily pursued. His is an obstinate defence. It is like the retreat of Wellington before Massena, and will end with another Torres Vedras. Grant's hardest fighting has to come ; and it has yet to be decided whether the Federal army or the city of Richmond is in the more imminent danger. If, as we believe, General Lee has been husbanding his resources for a final struggle before the walls of Richmond, saving the lives of his men, and hoarding his supplies, so as to be enabled a given moment to resume the offensive, the next few weeks may witness such a series of blows to the Northern armies as will well-nigh shatter the Union to pieces. And now let us take the other supposition. Let us assume, for the sake of argument, that the great Captain of the South is defeated by overwhelming numbers, and the bulldog pertinacity of the Northern commander. Let us further assume that Grant not only defeats Lee, but takes Richmond, though the one does not in the least involve the other, for under M'Clellan an army of greater numbers, and certainly of equal discipline, was driven from a strongly fortified position so near to Richmond that the outposts could hear the chimes of the city bells. What follows ? Would the Confederates lay down their arms ? No, for they are not engaged in a war of aggression. Like the Netherlanders, like the revolted colonists of Great Britain, they are fighting for their homes, for liberty and independence. They know what submission means ; they know how diabolically cruel are the tender mercies of England ; they know that the vile miscreant who insulted the women of New Orleans is the favourite offi cer of their enemy ; they know what M'Neil, Turchin, and many such have done ; they know what D.►hlgren tried to do. Their burnt towns, their desolated villages, the inhuman treatment of those who have fallen into Federal hands, forewarn them of the indescribable horrors of submission. The pulpit and the press of the North have clamoured for their spoliation and ex termination. In the halls of the Federal Congress resolutions to deprive them of their property, and to reduce them to political serfdom, have been re ceived with acclamation. Therefore, if their case were ever so desperate, they would fight on to the bitter end. No Northern victory oan subjugate the South. Before that can be accomplished the whole male population must be killed or captured. The capture of Richmond would indeed be a triumph Co the Northern arms, and a painful catas trophe to the South, but it would not help the North materially in its work of conquest. New Orleans has long been under the Federal yoke, yet Louisiana is not conquered, and though Richmond fell, the war in Virginia would not be over. In a military point of view, Nashville, the arsenal of the South, was a greater loss than Richmond would be, but the the South was not crippled by the taking of that town. The fall of Vicksburg was regarded as a great misfortune, but the South was not dis couraged, and took measures to deprive the North of all the fruits of that victory, and until this day prevents the Mississippi river from being an outlet for the commerce of the Wrest. After every misfortune the Confederates have come forth in greater strength. At the outset of every campaign they have manifested an increased power of resistance, and at the commencement of the fourth year of the war have proved themselves stronger than ever by recovering much of the territory that the North had taken at a tremendous cost of life and treasure. The truth is, so far as resources are concerned, the Confederates cannot be exhausted. The blockade that was to be the means of their subjugation has made them supremely independent. Luxuries they have abandoned without a sigh, and they grow and raise food to supply the army and people abundantly. Shut out from the markets of Europe, they manufacture their own clothes. They make their own guns and gunpowder, and the siege of Charleston is evidence that Confe derate artillery is a match for any artillery that can be purchased for Federal gold through the agency of Messrs. Baring and Co. But the most noted instance of their ingenuity and resources :s the construction of au ironclad fleet. \lie say nothing of the brilliant success of their irouclads, but refer only to their 81E111 in obtaining and fashioning the • materials. When the war broke out there was not a foundry or a rolling mill in .1 the country; but now full supplies of the precious ore are taken from the earth, and there is an abundance of machinery and skilled labour to prepare it for plating ships and repairing rail roads. The only doubt about the resources of the South was in reference to men, and we submit that there is not the slightest reason for anxiety on that score. The Southern army is now larger than ever. The population of the North is greater but its losses are also greater ; and, not having negrces to till the fields, a great part of the men capable of bearing arms cannot be enlisted in the army. Every year adds 60,000 men to the fighting population of the South, and we need hardly observe that the deatbe are not nearly so numerous. And let it not bo forgotten that, as an ultimate resource, the negroes can be turned into sol diers, and would, at the bidding of their masters, fight with enthusiasm against the Federals but there is not the moat distant prospect of the military service of the negroes being required. Well, then, we say there is no chance of the Con federates being subjugated. And as it is certain they will not submit, it is clear that a Federal vic tory will not bring about peace. Such an event may prolong the war by giving a temporary eclat to the war party, but it cannot give peace. Only the success of the South will give a hope of the termination of the bloody strife. We offer these suggestions at a moment when we think the South has achieved a great aid momentous victory. Still, we know the proverbial uncertainty of war, and far be it from us to imitate the jester of the White House, and triumph before we know the final re sult of the battle. • ectfurrlik HER MAJESTY, BALMORAL, May 25.
