LONDON, FRIDAY, NOMMIR U.

Witmer we gladly calm the advantages which
have already attended the expedition to Labors
and the expedition of 011111 PACZA to Asia, and
the moral abet which they meet necessarily have
had in depressing the spirit of the Hainan, in ele-
vanes that of the Turk, mad a teething both himself

dons will in any material degree teed to the general
coaelesion of the war; or even to the conquest of
Geergis. It is, lased, highly probate that the
Terhish Osanal may even this winter be able
to nein upon Hens; bat it is very questionable
whether he will the be aids to proceed further.
The distance, the lateness of the meson, the difficulty
of supplying an army, and the eaters of the country,
meet, we think, prevent an advs.°. upon Tiflis
towards the east; whilst towards the south, the die-
taries sad the diflialties of the ground must equally
present him from molesting the Raisin army about
Rare; ex we find that Has is distant some 130
mike from Huta* and that between them two
towas lie the Adams mountains and the
fronidable Russian fortress of Akhaltaik. It would
seem, therefore, that, so far as commas any scheme
of operatiou which Gases' MOTIPATII77 may be
contemplating between the pressat period and the
.awing spring, the faros under OM PAOLA may in
the meantime be aegleeted. In stat, r. feel pretty
seefideat that until the spring the Remises are afe
their posesesion of Georgia. Nor, Wood, is it quite
clear in a men military point of view that the affairs of
the Allies is Mingrelia and in Armenia would have
been less prosperous than they now are had Oats

Gamut Mousavarr biome as, in his despatch,
that the accumulation of troops on the oast of Aida
was sae of the reasons which Wooed the Heenan
Gann of War to eons to the umaimas resolution
of assaulting Rare, we cannot bat suspect that the
inevitable approach of winter had quite el flag to
de with that resolution se any evened attack from
031/31 PACIIA. Be that, however, as it may, it is ob-
vious that the Allies having failed to strike an effee-
tive blow at the main Russia army since September,
and having theaters been compelled to prolong the
war midi next spring, have exposed themselves to
two disadvaatsges ; tor, first, if they negotiate for
paw, they mat negotiate with the Crimea in the
heads of the emery; and, if they continue the war,
next they mast meet a Remise army is the spring,
an only with its morels partially reestablished, but
posted la a defensive position as difileult and perilous
of appro.& as the muter. of military O&M will
reader it.
It is, indeed, dificalt to exaggerate the value to a
Ruske diplomatist of the anal omapation of the
Orissa. If it were true, se some seamiest. amen,
that when the terms of pease come to be damned

that previa" the prospeets of the Allies would be
all that and be wished, sad the enpalations to be
mob would abed small matter far diseession ;
bat is truth the meat position of the opposing
armies thinly denometrates that the grand object
Cl the expedition is still to be attained. The
northers side of the harbeer le still in the
bade of Ramis. sad both the Allis. sad the Rus-
sia. seem to be agreed that until that mothers side
km bees won the straggle for the Crimea is some-
thing of a draws battle. For how, let us ask. can the
Allies be said to be in posennion of Sebastopol, when
in harbour is still Heed with the...see Gannon and
the town le itself in rains and sailer fire P Until the

'egotists. we must come prepared to treat to oar
disadveatap, sad to An Rama terms which will
in themselves imply that her power in the Black
See, however crushed for the present, his not yet
hese annihilated.
If, therefore, the Allies would complete the work
they have begun, nothing remains for them but to
attack the Russian army in the spring; sad between
the math of November and the month of Marsh, how
traustermed will be the approaches to their position!
Impassable as the Allies have already found the
Heights of Meekeosie, it is more than probable that
in the spring they will, if peril* find the same
Heights even more impregnable. Should the adorns

perienced in obtaining sulkiest water for a march of

will hardly diminish the digitally. Upon every road
leading to Simpherepol will be found strong entrench-
ments armed with game tithe heaviest alike; and in
this way the priecipal point d attack will has to be
won by a sucesseien et Alines. Again, should the ad-
vance be made from Kale, that town meet be ea-
geared ; a new base of operations must be organised;
and in order to gain Simpheropol, difilealties will be
laterpond similar in kind to them ou the Beaton=
side, but aggravated in degree, for the dieting to be
marched will be nearly trebled. It I. set, them-
ha, to be denied that the Anise, by delay-
iag their attack apes the Rodeos until the
spring, have enormously increased thdtt own awes
of tailors, and have proportionably dissiaithad Sus
of Ramis.

A deputation from the Belgian Chamber of Re-
presentative* have waited upon the Ring, to present
the address in reply to the Royal speech. To this
address the Ring replied as follows :
" Gentienten,—l thank you for the sentiments of
sympathy and devotion which you convey to me
from the Chamber of Repneentatives. It is permitted
us to look with satisfaction upon the tableau of the
first twenty-five years of our national independent*.
Belgium and its dynasty are loyally associated to
swan and consolidate that independence, and Gan
but gain in identifying their interests and blending
their destinies."
The address was voted by a small majority only,
the opposition interpreting one portion of it as con-
veying an expression of confidence io the Ministers.

A.d therefore it well behoves the Allied Com-
manders and the Government at home not to waste
their thne, bat diligently to prepare for the ender 1
straggle, for is all likelihood that straggle will be
one of the moat obstinately motested the world has
ever witnessed.
