LONDON, TUESDAY. NOVIINBEE 17.

Ora military enrrespeadent at Calcutta has
enabled es in soar degree to fill up the void hitherto
left in the sierratke of HA TILOCK'S proceedings
between the purge of the Ganges and the relief of
Locknow. We see eel yet in poseamion of those
graphic details, which will in due time be supplied
by the letters of the gallant men, who, flinging
aside the sward for the pen, dash off in
hot haste pictures whose vivid freshness no
distant chronicler can hope to rival. The
correspondence we pablietted yesterday, however,
supplies oce or two facts respecting the proceedings
of the relieving form which it may be se well to re-
capitulate. The Ganges was crossed by the troops
on the 19th, by the heavy guns on the 20th. The
maw took place shoat without resistance,
and the enemy fell back en a strong position
at no great diatance from the river. On the
21st this position was attacked and carried. The
rebels lost four guns, and suffered severely, espe-
cially from our small force of volunteer
cavalry (under two hundred men), led by
Sir Lulu Orra.iii, who are stated in HvveLorx's
despatch to have sabred 120 of the enemy. No time
wee lost in pressing the advantage thus pined. On
the 21st, the day of the engagement, the British
force advanced 20 miles, the pest day 14; the re-
treat of the enemy thus hotly pursued was too pre-
cipitate to allow of their breaking down the &intim
Bridge. On the 23rd and 24th the advance appears
to have beea motioned withcat intsneptica
on the latter day the relieving army distinctly
heard . the firing at Lockaew, end the General
in command immediately ordered " a royal salute
" from our 24-pounders to amioneee our approach to
" our friends ;" that was the first amounonsent to the
heroic little garrison at Lucknow that the hour of
deliverance was at hand.
On the 25th, at the distance of five miles from
Locknow, the British came in sight of the enemy—
in number about 14,010--entrenched in a position
which appeared impregnable. There was not a mo-
ment's hesitation about the attack. " liarnoce
" went at it at once; and, after a desperate
0 struggle, our troop', to the cry, Remember
• Cairopore,' carried it." This is where the
great km took place. Here fell NEIL L—
imn fell between 400 and 300 of his gallant brothers
in arms. Beyond than point we know nothing except
through the medium of the telegram. By this means
we know that the result of this action was the imme-
diate relief of the Residency; that on the 213th
the batteries of the besiegers were amaulted ; that
between that day and the 29th the possession of the
city wee desperately contested ; finally, that the ram-
latiou had been taken to fall back on Cawnpore with
a portion of the force, leaving the residue to
strengthen the garrison of Locknow. Of the desperate
heroism of the relieved garrison our correspondent
supplies a brilliant example. When the intelligence
reached the besiegers that HA V ELOCK was again
crossing the Ganges, they despatched to meet him
the knee, whose dispersion on the find day of the
ass& ors already been noticed, and then made a
insporate last effort to overpower the obsti-
nate resistance of the besieged. " They were
oen the verge of success ; some of them were se-
" tinily penetrating into the entrenchment when
" a saddin inspiration seized our men ; there were
• phony of shells, but no mortars ; car ono, reek-
s hos of life and resolved to conquer or to perish,
" seieed the shells, lighted the farm, and taking
" than in their Made bared them with all their
"lhaaa at the clay.' Well may the enemy have
Wm bask, no we are told they did, " awed and
" cowed.' It we. the last attempt they made
against the beak garrison. Three days afterwards
HA A/LOCK KM upon than.
With men rased le web a strain of endurance
and daring as this, it is impoilible to assign any
I;enit, founded as the ordinary calculation of pro-
babilities, as to what they can or cannot do and
Win. We cannot apply roles drawn from quieter
tines and more ordinary transaction to a crisis like
this or men like these. And this mast never be
lost sight of in estimating the probable lame of this
desperate campaign of Hamm' and Orrasti.
Upon all the ordinary rain of etiology, even
making every allowance I. the superiority
of Earopean over native—the pedals of
the Mines army as one of the extronest jeopardy.
Bat they, is something in that " Ramtber Cairn-
" pore which has istradred into the Manses of the
banir-Ileld an slimmest whom hints no military
menses can compute. It ie • misheard whose
sheen power has fired hearts. and none" armm
with superhuman ligOltr, the winos edge
0 of battle'—io every field that has dams ham fought.
The miracles of ram it his wrought have not
ceased yet and we have a firm reliance that it is
strong enough still to open a path for safety to the
heron Englishmen and Esglidtwoneu whoa fate
has so loaf centred the eager interest of the satins
an the 'slimily defended Residwac7 of Liiikam.

CIIID'S salami wade part of the eteaceetioe eared

to Promo ea that occasion, and that the re•eppotat•
mot al itsecate is a withdrawal of at WM a par.
dee of theme essosoiame.

The pretension is monstrously tuijnet. For cer-
tainly the SULTAN MOTET meant to deprive himself
in sternum of the services of almost dread, capable
diplomatist in his empire. In oar late quarrel with
Pin* we demanded of the SHAH the removal of
bs Primo Minister ; to which his Fenian Illaraffr
replied, "If you can find another man in my deed-
" alone capable of filling his place I will dimities
" him. Bat until yes do so, I must beg leave to
" keep him." The SULTAN might my the same with
respect to Reneuin PAULA, for both Funa and Ai=
bare been tried and •ad wanting.
But however ire mitythink M. Tnorostrat. wrong
with regard to Ram®, as we thought Lord Da
Rancurra and Mr. ALBION wrong in supporting
the unwarrantable and virdest conduct of Vow-
RIDES, we must say that nears of these errors, sir
quarrels, or cireematinees, sone of sufficient import-
ance to occsairm • war, or even a threat of
war. We consider the question of the Prin-
cipalities in a more serious light than many of
our contemporaries, but at the same time we should
regard a threat of war, either to prevent the Union or
to procure it, as one of the most signal absurdities.
We we sorry, therefore, to find that a portion
our Prime Minister's speech at the Mansion-house
has been considered as nothing less than a menace
of war, in case Entice should persist in maintaining
her present attitude at Constantinople and in the
Levant. His lordship said in that speech that if any
Power should assume a menacing attitude to England,
on the 'apposition that her force was absorbed in the
prosecution of the Indian war, each Power would
find itself grievously mistaken. Then followed the
boast that the English were the first soldiers in the
world ; and so on. It is mined in the Imperial
circles of Paris that Lord PALMERSTON could have
alluded to no country but France. A similar Lila-
Moo was made in a debate of last session, when it
was proposed to employ the fleet in transporting
troops to India. Lord PALMERSTON then observed
that doing so would expose England to
the insult or invasion of ambitious neigh-
bours. It may be well foe a Prime Minister
to have these thought', but to tapers them is a
mach more serious matter. At the present moment
Lord PALMERSTON is thought to have had in his
mind the attitude amused by M. TnotrvereaL, an
attitude in which he was supported by his Govern-
ment. Let us add, that from what we have heard.
however much the French Government might have
been previously inclined to yield somewhat, that
Government now ocmaiders it impartible to give way
one iota since the utterance of those wade of Lord
PALMERSTON at the Mansion-house.

We have throughout expressed apprehension' that
the policy pursued by oar Government and its agents
with regard to the Principalities would tear asunder
the Treaty of July, or at lout so far nullify it as to
prevent that guanuitee of the integrity of Turkey by
all the Powers of Europe which was the great aim
of that Treaty. In that Treaty, and in the acts of
Congress which accompanied it, certain assertions
and promises were made with respect to the Prin-
cipalities of the Danube : if those promises are not
kept, or if those stipulations are violently set aside,
there is more than one Power which may declare h-
ull ao longer bound by the Treaty. We do not
thick that this will lead to war, because we know
fall well that Austria would not join England in a
war with Russia sad France combined ; and we
know, moreover, that the people of England would
not sanction such a war, if engaged in for the vile
and illiberal purpose of sacrificing the Principalities
and their five millions of Christian inhabitants.
Lord PALMERSTON himself ought to be mare
aware of this than be seema to be. For were he
duly impressed with such a truth, undeniable and
indubitable as it is, he would not held forth such
menacing language, which actually prevents any-
thing like common agreement.
For our own part, we regret that England and
France did not in the week after the fall of Sebas-
topol mettle between themselves the question of the
Principalities. France and England supported the
brunt of war—they won the triumph of victory.
It was for them to have declared their will, and have
established on the Danube that order of things
which would beet render the provinces attached and
linked to the defences and the politics of Turkey.
That done, the adhesion of Russia to the arrange-
ment should have been one of the conditions of
peace. Instead of that, we called in, not only
Ramie and Austria, but a number of minor Powers
toe touncil or toe Congress. We might have known
that accord in such an assembly wu almost impos-
sible. It was a blonder to refer such a question to it.
Bat when once we had deferred the question to a Con-
ran of many powers, then at least we should have
given over the blustering and dictatorial tone of
having everything our own way. That tone would
not have been out of place from Varna or Beeklace,
bat from London, after a year's peace, and a world
of protocols, it is most imprudent and absurd.
Eighteen months ago, Lord PALMERSTON and the
Emperor of the FRENCH could have disposed of
I the Principalities in a halthour's conversation. But
the truth is, both were sovereignly ignorant on the
"object, had not made ap their minds, and in their
irresolution referred the matter to Europe. Let
Europe settle it in fairness and in honesty, by doing
what is really best for Turkey, as well as for the
Danubian'. To set than both at variance, and in
antagonism, to end in civil was, cannot conduce to
this.

But in order to the pacific solution of thin matter,
let it be u soon as possible taken out of the
hands of these two fighting oocka at Comdata-
tinople, and out of those of the corrupt Turks, who
ars but fanning theism, of discord between Fame
and Bogland, and take so ratiosal step to taesiaate
• quarrel that has arias mat of their own ignorance,'
incapacity, and pestassissa. Above all, let as hays
no big bullying words of war, or of England being
is well able to thresh all her neighbours. We
may try this tone min too sites. Foe eves when it
is not speedy resented, it inks into the bosom of
foreign Princes, guy' harts • deep though therm.
bled feeling of indigastios, which might be meted
on—not while we bad the spirited PALIIIIILITON to
resist it—hut when, perhaps, England WY slum-
