THE VIENNA MISSION.

Canal SI IiTHORP moved for au address for returns of
the expense of the Be y of Stan fur the Colonies, with
record to los leedship's minion to Vienna and conference
with ttre other miesionarles of France, Austria, and the
Bablime Porte, there assembled for neintiatien sad treaty
with Ramie for the restoration of peace. Of the somber

Waeupation on this mission irons Chest Britain, the date
of appointment of his lordship, the period of depsrture from
thiseountry, the number of days absent on such duty, the

and distiaes amount of all expenses chargeable to the

giat

with hint no fewer than th,rty-two person., male and
female. (Laughter.) It was from a vase of public ditty,
and cot from esy feeling of 111•141 private eorioeity that be
so eel for these returns; and he hoped that the noble lord
would without nay mental reservation state overythins
°wily and tarry. kLaeghter.)
Vise:mut PALMERSTON objected to the return, en the
ground that it wee wholly without preccdear, sad could
only have bees intended as a vote of censure. The expenses
of the rnivii..ci waled in due course be lain before the house,
and would have to be voted in the civil contiageneiss of the
year. It would then be found that they had been by no
image beyond the ordinary and usual amount. The house
was aware that in cues of this kind no salary whatever
was allowed toe ambassador, and no penitents were made
to him herd,' his bare espenees. Not the shadow of
teams had been given why the 'notion should be agreed to,
end be (the noble lord) trusted that it would receive so eon-
sidaratios fr. es the house. (Hear, heir.)
Coleael SIB THORP had only discharged his duty, and
it would be 1.4 the pnblio to draw their own inference* from
flue salver ,he noble lord. The government were afield
to ley the revenue of the mission before the house ; and it
was • low underhanded sorted basin's,. (Great laughter.)
The motion was withdrawn.

they sailed immediateb, afterwards. Lard WINFO&D,
who lappeard to be apse the spot at the time, Imre
gametal testimony to the asefesion in which the em-
barkation MIS performed. Lord SALISBURY is 1
more precise in his allegations, sad Wu;
whether it be not true that the most essen-
tial portions of the clothing for the men
were left behind ? The noble Marquis fur-
ther inquires whether it be not a fast that, in-
stead of being furnished with Misfi6 rifles, the
Guards were suffered to quit England with no other
arms than the old smooth-bored muskets? Lord
PANMURE is reported to have met these pointed and
pressing interrogatories by an observation on the in-
convenience of putting questions not fully fore-
shadowed in the notice previously given ; by an
assertion that, although the men went on board in
r suits that had been some time in use, the Guards
were always allowed an additional suit of clothing;
and finally, by a declaration that " he could not believe
' it possible "any regiment would have been allowed to
' go on foreign service with the old &docks! And this
• is the whole amount of satisfaction which a War Minis-
' ter is able to afford, when questioned in Parliament
about one of the last reinforcements sent forth at •

juncture of surpassing interest and peril.
Lord Permute not having ventured to grapple
with any one of the statements made by Lord Sams-
BUSY, an unexpected interlocutor appeared in the
person of the Duke of CAMBIUM'. As Colonel of
the Guard., his Royal Highness felt called upon to
bear his testimony to the manner in which they had
been treated. He stated broadly and distinctly that
the five hundred pairs of trousers and eight hundred
pairs of shoes which had been sent to Portsmouth to
be shipped along with the detachment had all
bee, left behind, because at the last moment
it was discovered that there was not room to
stow them in the vessel; and he added his strong
impression that they had never yet been forwarded
for the 11613 of the men. With reference to the arms
he was equally plain-spoken. Mini& rifles, be feared,
had not been supplied to the soldiers, and the only
hope he cherished was that at Constantinople they
might be furnished out of the store established there.
Aod what is the rejoinder of the Secretary of State
specially appointed to superintend and direct all
matters connected with the efficiency of the army ?
He rejoices at the pains that are taken to point out
instances of this description, because the atten-
tion of heads of departments is likely to
be thereby directed to what otherwise might
never come to their knowledge. Certainly, if
official sangfroid at home could win battles
or retrieve disasters abroad, our War Department
as at present constituted would justify the most pro-
found reliance on its competency and ability. Bat
entertaining some doubts upon that point, we mg
be permitted to observe that there is probably no
civilised community save our own where a man who
has been put into the Cabinet and who receives 6,0004
a year, with the disposal of extensive patronage, for
acting as War Minister, would venture to confess on
the 30th of April that he could not tell whether a
detachment of choice troops, ordered by him to sail
for the scene of conflict on the 12th of the same
month, were provided with proper shoes, or with
proper arms.

Allowance ought to be made, we shall perhaps be
told, for Lord PANNE:EC 011 account of the anarchic
state in which he found the department three months
ago, and further on account of his recent indisposition.
We must say we think that great allowance has
already been made on the score of both these consi-
derations; and that the time is past when we can
afford to listen to apologies based on either of these
grounds. We have no desire to lean heavily on Lord
PANYURK'S personal share in the general blame
But it is really indispensable that he and his
aristocratic colleagues should be roused by some
means to a sense of the danger towards which they

are staggering like demented men. At the rick of
ruffling their courtly humour, or sullying the plate-
glue through which they look out listlessly on the
wintry field of plebeian life, they must be awakened,
if it be possible, to the fearful huard they are incur-
ring by their infatuated persistence in their present
system of unpardonable apathy, ignorance, and neg-
lect. The SECRETARY for WAR is not, indeed, ac-
countable for the blunders that may be committed

once or twice in the office of the Quartermaster Ge-
neral, but he is responsible for acquiescing twenty tour
hours in the continuance in office of any man who, at a
time like this, has been found to fall short of the
highest degree of efficiency. It will not do to tell
as that as the department now stands the supreme
control over the various military sub-departments is
not vested in the Secretary of State. If so whose
fault is it ? Why are we still without even a project
of War-office reform ? Bat in truth the want of
such a measure forms no valid excuse. The Minis-
ter for War is responsible for the conduct of
the war in every particular that depends
upon the home administration. The existence
of an army and the honour of a nation
are at stake, and a stern accountability must be

maintained and enforced. If Lord Peuxtruz finds
his orders thwarted or neglected, his plain and ob-1
'ions duty is to call for the dismissal of whoever is
in fault, and the substitution of better men. Failing'
this, his imperative duty as a conscientious man is to
resign, and to tell Parliament the reason why. But
to go on condoning from day to day the perpetration of
sins against the life and honour of the country like
those thus brought to light is more than the national
patient* will endure.—Doily News.

EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 2,

The Journal do St. Poterabowy of April 22 pub-
lishes Prince Gortchakoff's full report on the first
three days of the renewed bombardment (April 9th,
10th, and 11th). The allies, he says, opened fire
with, in all, 250 guns, and in the course of the 9th
threw 20,000 projectiles into the town (la vino). An
active bombardment was also kept up during the
night. The next morning, the 10th, the cannonade
was resumed, and "it was et ident," says the Prince,
"that the object of the enemy was to dismount our
guns, as they employed their batteries so as to enfilade
our artillery. We replied with success, considerably
damaged their works, and in the course of four hours
silenced 60 of their guns. Their lose most have been
serious. In the first two days we had four officers
and 141 men killed, and 15 officers and 673 men
wounded. In these two days the enemy dismounted
some guns, but they were immediately replaced by
others, and all the damage done to the epaulements of
our batteries--which, in fact, was insignifloant—was
repaired with equal success. On the night of the
10th the enemy again bombarded the town with
much vivacity, but without doing us any great harm.
On the 11th, six picked French companies preci-
pitated themselves upon our lodgements in front
of the Flagstaff Battery. These they occupied
for a time, and were proceeding to convert them
into trenches, but we drove them out with grape.
Two encounteit with the bayonet succeeded, the
result of which was that the lodgements were reoc-
cupied by our rifles. On the morning of the 11th,
the enemy opened a cannonade of extreme violence
with all his guns. After a space the fire slackened,
but became again very hot towards evening. Our
garrison comports itself in the most heroin manner."

The Journal de St. Peterabourg publishes in its en-
tirety the article recently given in the Moniteur re-
specting the expedition to the Crimea.

The Invalid. Rune gives the following particulars
of the Russian loss at Sebastopol, from the 9th to the
15thof April :—Killed,ll officers and 687 sons-officiers
and soldiers; wounded, 55 officers and 2,572 some-
officiers and soldiers.

Sr. PETERSBURG, Aran. 20.
Telegraphic despatches from Sebastopol arrive now
three days earlier than formerly. Sirmons has car-
ried the direct electric line as far as Kief. The two
last despatches, the 178th and 179th since the be-
ginning of the siege, were transmitted direct from
Kiel to St. Petersburg.
Prince Charla, brwher of the King of Prussia.
returns to-morrow. He has visited all the fortified
points on the coast of Ingermanland, been an eye
witness of the extensive preparation made along
the immense line which extends from Libau to St.
Petersburg, and gone over the forts of Crenate& in
the company of the Czar Alexander. At this latter
place the boom of last year has been replaced, and
Jacobi's vaunted infernal machines have again been
resorted to.
