sia is not to be restored by holding Han for three
or even six months ; nor is the glory or the power of
the Western Powers to be extinguished by so paltry
a misfortune.

The war has been brought to a roselasion in
which all reasonable mem acquiram. Nor is this fast
to be explained away either by the fall of Bars or by
the ill-nature of a British Ambassador. The story of
Ham is an episode in a great war, and Lord STRAT-
FORD'S aoudad is an episode of an episode.

THE CRIMEA.

TIMIDAT.

The Sinai has arrived with advioe; from the
Crimea of the 19th inst., and from Constantinople of
the 21st.

The evacuation of the Crimea is taking place with
all possible despatch. The shipof•war Doperre has
arrived at Toulon from the Crimes, with 860 military

THE D]

IN NABLOUZ.

Accounts from Jaffa of the 16th state that on the
previous day another sanguinary fight had taken place
at Nablous ; the greener had finally beaten the rebels.
Assistance had been demanded from Jerusalem, but
the Pacha of that city kept for himself his troops
and cannon, in the anticipation of die.
orders which might break out. At Jerusalem,
moreover, the energetic attitude of the Pscha
and of the consuls promised to conjure away all dan-
ger. In the disturbance of the 4th at Nablona, the
consular flags were pulled down, but the houses of
the English agents were alone burned down. It is
the father of the Premien consul, and not the consu',
who has been killed. The Greek church and the
English chapel have been abandoned, but no consul
has perished.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(1/011 OUR OWN

PARIS, TVISDAT EVINING.

This afternoon Count Orloff went to the Tuileries
in state to announce, in his character of Russian Am-
bassador Extraordinary, the secession to the throne
of the Emperor Alexander 11., which, it must be
borne in mind, the Emperor Napoleon lIL has been
all throughout the war supposed not to know of.
I understand that the Emperor Napoleon is on
terms of extraordinary friendship and intimacy with
Coast Orloff, and that he is frequently seen walking
about with him arm-in-arm.

The Petrie of this 'teen prefaces an article upon
the Belgian press with the words "It is known (ow
soil) that in one of the sittings of the Congress notice
was taken of the attitude of certain journals of Bros.
eels." Now it is undoubtedly known, owing to the
publication in the Daily Neter of a speech of Count
Walewskl, that the French government made a bitter
complaint of the Belgian press, and endeavoured to in-
duce the Congress to interfere with it, but beyond this
reported speech, which the Petrie:ought to ignore
sines it has not yet been allowed to publish it, no-
thing is known as to the sort of notice which the
Congress took of the matter. It may be surmised,
on very solid grounds, that Count Walewski took
nothing by his motion ; therefore the Congress of
Paris is somewhat unduly lugged in as an abettor of
the French attempt to put down the liberty of the
press in Belgium. The Petrie cites from
the Yerite of Lill, an article setting forth
that the writers for the Belgian papers
which give such serious umbrage to France are some
balf-cicsen very mum fellows—miserable wretches,
altogether out at elbows, " who cannot obtain ad-
mittance into any drawing-room," and who for a
orown-pieos spit their venom at all that is virtuous
and glorious. Owed them, it appears, wrote the other
day "To-morrow, Monday, April 28, is the first anni-
versary of the celebrated attempt of Pianori." There-
upon the Petrie, echoing Count Walewski's words
pronounced In the Congress, asks whether it is possible
that the state of the press in Belgium is to be tolerated
any longer. I understand that M. F. Bar►ot, the
French ambassador at Brawls, has been instructed
to make a formal remonstrance. This fact is a con-

firmation of the opiates that the Congress declined
to meddle in the business, and shows that France is
already making that remonstrance which Count
Walewski declared would "resemble a threat."
There have been some fluctuations at the Boma
resulting in no great change. The Rents opened
with much firmness, then gave :way to the extent of
10e. or 15a, and ultimately rallied to nearly the
opening prime, closing at 73fr. 75fr. for cub,
and 731 r. 750. for amount, with a rise of 16e. and
10e. Credit Mobilier fell Mr. The Northern Rail-

was very little alteration, and no great business
