al the public service is urgently required; praying.
at the same time, that her Marine will give'
directions that measures for effecting such an
improvemeat be immediately adopted. These two
motions, if nothing interferes to prevent their being
brought-forward, would go far to elicit the information
that is required, and accelerate a reform of our war

administritioa: But then are indications in the

political horizon that both may be forestalled by
th► motion of which Mr. Roam:rot has given notice
in the House of Commons. Mr. ROSBUCIeII motion
stands on the order look for this evening, and pro-
poses the appointment of a select committee "to
inquire into the condition of our army before Sebas-
topol, and into the conduct of those departments of
the government whose duty it has been to minister
to the wants of the army." The notice of this mo-
tion has buttered the official circles " like an eagle

in a dovecot." A circular Nimmons to attend has been
Wood to all the reliable supporters of Government,
couched in the most urgent terms,and announcing that
_ _

a division is oertain. It is dear that the motion is to
be strenuously resisted—probably on the ground that

its moms would be tantamount to a vote of cesium

or want of confidence ; and that considerable appre-
hensions are entertained by Ministers as to the poasi-
bility of its being carried.
For our own part, as long as there was any hope
of an improved management of the war, without a
change in the present construction of the Cabinet,
we deprecated any movement that might produce a
temporary relaxation of the bonds of unity in which
the national enthusiasm has linked all classes together
for tha vigorous prosecution of hostilities. But

that hope has perished ; and, moreover, it is
apparent that the country is bent upon having the
experiment of some change tried. All, therefore, that
remains for sincere patriots, who have no private
ends to serve, is to lend their assistance to carry us
through the crisis as speedily as possible, and to
extract the greatest possible amount of good out of it.
There can, consequently, be no objection to Mr. Roz-
Bncx's motion on the ground that it is likely to
accelerate a ministerial crisis. And, apart from this
consideration, it appears in every way deserving of
the support of independent members. It has the
merit of presenting, in a tangible and definite
shape, a mods of conducting the inquiry into the
war mismanagement which could not fail
to elicit all the information required. This
is a great recommendation, for it is more difficult to

parry a proposal obviously suited to reach the end
aimed at, than general declarations that amendment
is desirable. It is, therefore, much to be desired that
Mr..ROF.BUCH may be effectually supported in the
House of Commons this evening.

It is impossible, with a House of Commons consti-
tuted like the present, to form any probable conjec-
ture as to what may be the result of the evening's
debate. It is evident, from the excitement in Go-
vasnment circles, that the sitcoms of the motion
p regerded as within the range of possi-
bility. If it be carried, or even if it be
negatived by a very narrow majority, the
result is not unlikely to be a resignation
et the Ministry en masse. In this event, there is,
every likelihood that the statesman first sent for will
be one or other of the members of the present Cabinet.
Even the followers of Lord DERBY do not hesitate to
admit, in private, that little would be gained by sub-
stituting their NORTHIINBEILLANDS, and HENLEY%
and Pew-Norm, for the Ministers now more espe-
cially entrusted with the management of the war.
And the crisis will have come on too rapidly to
admit of the contemplated Demousis job being
perpetrated. Again, the brunt of popular odium has
of late been borne by the Conservative, or what is
called the Peelite, section of the Cabinet. This is not
to be wondered at, for experience has shown that these
once-vaunted statesmen are only fit for the smooth
navigation of a summer sea. The late Sir ROBERT
PEEL, with many estimable qualities, was not the
man to train future ministers. He was one of those
statesmen who desiderata the faculty of working
through subordinates ; hies colleagues or assistants
were allowed few chances of practically developing
administrative talents, in the high sense of the
phrase. He made good head clerks, but he made
miserably inefficient statesmen. It follows from
what has been said that the SommioN and the
nation will have but a narrow range of choice in
the event of a ministerial crisis. An attempt
will necessarily be made to save as much
as possible of the materiel of the present Cabinet
out of the wreck. The nucleus of any new
Cabinet will probably be the Liberal section of the
coalition Ministry. There is a trifling incident in the
House of Common' proceedings of Tuesday evening
that almost seems to point in this direction. The
extreme haste of Messrs. GLADSTONE and CARDWELL
to place their most acceptable measures on the books of
the House has somewhat the air of a preparation to
make the public regret them if their retirement shall
be found inevitable. Assuming that an attempt is to
be made to construct a new Cabinet out of the
Liberal section of the present, and such recruits as
they can persuade to rally round them, much will
depend upon the individual who is to take
the lead. It is rumoured that a versatile
contemporary is to lay aside its feud of many years
standing with Lord Pautnerom, and support his
claims to the Premiership. Certain it is that the
journal in question has already been offering the
future Premier, whoeverle may be, an alternative
choice of two First Lieutenants, in the persons of
Lords OM and ELOINBOROIIOII. There are,
however, good grounds for believing that the coun-
try, though noway' averse to see Lord Palo
unirrow in office, would rather demur to
his lordship's being plied at the head of her
Itemerv's Councils. With all their faults, there is
more reliance placed in ihe Rumour. section of the
Whig pariy. As to the new recruits, we again
record oar 'opinion, that ,no Ministerial arrangement
can be effective or lasting whisk doss not embrace a
considerable number of entirely new men. And
there are only two obstacles—which will, however,
probably be found insurmountable—to such an

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAx. 11.

Osumi Brunet has arrived at Constantinople. He
commands the 9th division of the Fres& army, con-
sisting of 12,000 men, which is hourly expected
here, and destined is a reinforcement for the Crimea.
Meantime letters have been received from General
Canrobert complimenting General Brunet on his
arrival, as also precise instructions to General
Larchey, commander-in-chief of the French troops at
Constantinople, to retain here all coming reinforce-
ments until further orders. The cause of this sudden
resolution it is of course a difficult matter to deter-
mine. It would seem either to indicate for the
present suspension of hostilities—or, that General
Canrobert Ands himself enabled to carry out, with the
faros under his command, any plane or operations
which may be required at this juncture. I have
seen a most interesting private litter from an officer
in the camp, dated the 7th instant, whose whole
tenor appears an argument in favour of the latter
hypothesis. General Canrobert's popularity in both
armies, you are aware, is unbounded : he is seen, day
and night, in every direction along the lines, in the
trenches, tents, and posts of danger, fraternising
with his troops, aid consoling them under trials
and privations. Their patience is, however, al-
most exhausted; and they all demand with
' one voice to assault the place. General Can-
robert, in reviewing on a late occasion his heroic
soldiery, was greeted by a general acclamation of
" Vire Canrobert l" and pronounced an eloquent
oration, terminating with these memorable words :
" Ne ditto pas, mes braves, Vire Canrobert, mail vivo
' l'Empereur! et qua oe on retention jusqu'an cmur
de nos ennemis—dont la derniire heure a Bonne !

Vow criers:, Vive votre General, lorsque je me lan-
(*raj a votre tete, et que mon corps vow; servira de
dropeau ear Is bathe. Si non. n'avons pas doani
encore Pageant, (lost pour des raison. partionlieres i
moi connnee."

The majority of our own Soars with whom I have
conversed know General Canrobert by sight, and all
by reputation—and they have assured me that he is
exactly the man to fulfil to the letter his fatal and
remarkable promise to the troops. _ _ .

By yesterday's packet, an aide-de-camp of Prince
Jerome arrived at Constantinople, and announced
without delay his intention " d'arracher, bon gre
malgre,* Prince Napoleon from his present difficul-
ties, and return with him to Paris. Accordingly all
has been bustle and preparation since yesterday at
the French Palace, and his imperial highness has
made several magnificent presents to M. Benedetti
and the personnel of the embassy. To-day, at two
p.m., the Prince will be received by the Sultan in
audience at the Imperial Palace of Tcheragem, and
starts this evening for France by the mail steamer.

The Journal de Constantinople of the 11th rectifies
its former account of Baron Bruck's speech delivered
on the 3rd inst., at the palace of the Austrian em-
busy. The following is given as an exact reading
of the Baron's words :

Hie Majesty the Sultan has resisted a most unjust aggres-
sion, and his brave army has most valiantly defended the
I territory of his empire. In this his Majesty has received
the support of the maritime powers; and his Majesty the
Emperor of Austria has concentrated his army to give the
Sultan mikado= aid, if unhapply the new diplomatic
communications should fail ; but ems peace when it will—
before or after the struggle--the pride of Russia will have
been subdued. Then will Turkey enter upon a new era;
the prejudices of race will be removed, all religiose
will be freely exercised, right will triumph over force, and
the great resources of commerce and industry be developed.
And that the Satan is resolute upon all these important
molten is well known. Aided by a devoted and able body
of ministers, his will be the privilege of fixing his mighty
empire more firmly than ever, upon the sound basis of a
wise and liberal administration. Such a solution of the

Esstorn question (exclaimed the baron, in concluding his
speech) will be truly in accordance with the civilisation of
our day.

Private letters from the camp before Sebastopol
are to the 9th. The health of the troops seemed to
improve although the cold was severe. The daily
deaths had fallen to 90. The sheepskin coats for
different regiments were being issued, and also rise
to the troops in the usual manner. Lord Raglan has
ordered that every man be served out with one pair
of boots gratuitously. The weekly average of sick
seat to Scutari amounts to something like 700 men.
A permanent staff of medical men is appointed to be
es board each vessel taking sick to Scutari. About
$OO wooden huts had arrived at Balaklava. The
Royal Horse Artillery is to be employed to carry
them up to the camp. It is intended, in
the first place, to pot up a sufficient number
of huts outside Balsklava, to relieve the ware-
houses, which are already crammed, and have
not sufficient room for•the goods which arrive daily.
It is intended to establish a depot at head-quarters,
with 14 days' provisions for the whole army always
in store. The transport of shot, &c., is stopped for a
time, and the carts are assisting in taking up provi-
sloes. Every four men carry one cwt. A body of
about 1,000 Cossacks passed down the Inkermann
valley and through Camara village on the Bth. What
their object was no one knows. The enemy has
opened a new battery opposite to the Guards' pickets,
on the heights over Inkermann. The French took
down our sick on the morning °film 4th on their
ambulance mules, and General Canrobert ordered
that the mules should return laden with provisions
to the depot at head quarters. Sixteen hundred
hands were employed on the 2nd in bringing up
provisions to head quarters for the depot.
On the Bth, Lord Raglan leaned a general order,
publishing to the army the unanimous resolutions
of the Howse of Lords and Commons, expressing
their sense of the conduct of the officers, non-com.
Widened elvers, and soldiers, in the operations in
which they have been engaged in the Crimea, in the
brilliant and decisive victory on the Alma, and in the
signal defeat of a very superior force of the enemy
on the heights of Inkermann. After giving the text
of the resolution voted, the order is continued :
Levi Raglan mogratnlates the army upon receiving this
userivosal recognition of their arduous cervices by the
pedlement el the United Kingdom, and be is glad of the
epeestasity of declaring that the manner in which the
hoops have borne the privations and hardships they have

in conjunction with the British army.
" Field Marshal Lord Raglan is charged to transmit to

Thu striking manifestation is not only a proof of esteem
of which you may be well proud; it is the expression of the
sympathy of a great nation our ally in a cause of which all
Europe proclaims the jostles.
You will feel all the value of such a demonstration;
and I shall enure Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, in your
name and my own, that it will drew more close, if that be
possible, the ties of good fellowship which strong reciprocal
esteem, and blood sled in common, have constituted be-
tween our brave companions in arms—the British army—
and onnselves.

EUPATOMA, Lax. 8.

A body of ten thousand 'good Ottoman troops is
now at Eapatoria, under the command of Bebram Puha
and TAD' Peelut the son-in-law of Omer Focht. On the
31st of December the battalion of sharpshooters landed,
►acing been conveyed from Varna by the Colombo. This
battalion consists of •boat 600 well disciplined men. The
artillery is here, and • part of the cavalry. The town bee
been fortified by French and English engineers,
and at this moment can make head against
100,000 Russians. The French, English, sad Turks
live on very friendly terms together. The mili-
tary governor of Eapatoria, • good administrator
sad an excellent officer, Y. d'Osenout, whose rank on the
staff is that of a chef d'escadron, is indefatigable in bringing
every thing into a state of order, and he has organised a
Tartar police. The Tartars ask for arms, and go out to
fight courageously against the Cossacks, whose pickets and
outposts an be seen by the town sentries. A few skir•
mishes sometimes come off, but the Congreve rockets terrify
the enemy and his horses to such a degree, that they dare
nut venture too near the town, which has now a moat
round it. This moat was dog by the Turkish
troops under the direction of French engineer officers, both

commissioned and non commissioned. There is no went of
provisions, and yet a few merchants would do well if they
came to Eapatoria.
On the 24th of December last, the Egyptian ousel on
shore, a little in front of the French Henri IV., caught fire
and burned down to the water's edge. The guns will be
saved and all that is in the hold. ♦bout fifty seamen, who
came from Constantinople on board the Mubbi Barur, are
busy at the salvage. The weather has been fine, and the
cold is not great—a fortunate thing for the Tartar villagers
who have taken refuge in the town, and are without previ-
SWIM The Tartars are employed at dinging trenches and

on the fortifications ; they are ;applied with rations, bat are
very greedy, very laity, and very ignorant.
We have in the roadstead the Leander, Capt. the Hon.
G. J. Hastings, of the English navy.

The French ship, Henri IV. has 100 men on board with
gene, and the &mime cannot approach on that side.
Their cavalry, some 7,000 strong, form a cordon about
Eupatoria; they have artillery with them, and prevent the
inhabitants from bringing supplies to the town. Every-
thing is now imported by sea.
The roadstead of Eupatoria is bad during the winter,
and the landing is difficult on amount of the surf. There is
also a deficiency of barges and boats for this service.
The Tartars break up whatever they can for fuel, and
one mat nude keep a good look out, or they would carry
away the roofs of the houses and destroy t►e boats drawn
up on the beach. The town is full of mud, and in every
street you meet with the dead bodies of animals at every
step. The Tartars eat the young horses, and throw the
offal into the streets. We are luckily in the winter, or
otherwise we should have the plague. Notwithstanding
the season, then is a high rate of mortality among the
inhabitants ; the prevailing malady is typhus.
Troops are sent every day from Varna. The Indiana
arrived on the 3rd with 1,600 troops and the ferik Mehemet
Facha on board. During the night of the 31st ult. the
Niger, a wu steamer, arrived also from flebastopoL It
brought no news of importance. They have engaged here
200 Tartar labourers to, go and work at Brinkley'. The
Ottoman government would do well to settle some of thus
folks in Bulgaria, for they would form excellent honouree,
and, es military colonists, would cultivate the plains along
the bank of the Danube.

In consequence of the bad weather on the lit and 2d of
this month, the troops which arrived from Varn► could not
be loaded. On the 3rd the weather turned out Ant, and
the Colombo, after landing its troops on board, will be able
to proceed to Balaklava with a hundred stimpter-horses
brought from Varna, for the officers of the British army.
A few days ago they brought here about 800 Tartar hones,
and sent them off to Balakiava.

A letter from Odessa of the 11th, in the Cologne
Gazette, states that—
' Ths.asssiaa troops twain the reserve of the Danube
had unexpectedly received orders from St. Petenbarg to
proceed by for marches to that town. These troops, part
of the advance guard of which had already arrived in the
neighbourhood of Odessa, were sold to amonat to 20,000
mace. The same letter states that in a short time Odessa
would be completely surrounded with batteries, and that
on the land side alone there would be 116 pieces of artillery.
All the establishmente in the interior of Russia for making
fire-arms and material of war were at work day and night.
In coasequenos of the severe frost which had set in all
navigation was suspended at Odessa, and no meal could
either enter or leave the port.
