LONDON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1855.

Our readers will be gratified to learn from a
despatch from the Crimea, which appears in an-
other column, and to which we beg to call atten-
tion, that our losses on the recent storming of
Sebastopol—serious and to be deplored as they
are—are by no means so heavy as had been anti-
cipated—the French, who have reaped the most
glory in the affair, having been the principal suf-
ferers. Their loss is computed at 5 generals killed
and 12 wounded, and their killed and wounded sol-
diers at between s,oooand 6,000, while on our part
not a single general has lost his life, and not
more than 500 soldiers have been killed, and
1,600 (officers and men) wounded. We have
reason to be grateful that our loss is not heavier.

Austria still preserves "a mediatory attitude."
No doubt of it. Now that complete success has
crowned the exertions of the Western Powers—
that Sebastopol has fallen—and the Black Sea
Fleet of Russia no longer exists, she would be
but too happy to resume her sinister interference
to spread a shield of protection over the defeated
ArITOCRAT, and to prevent the victorious Armies
from realising the legitimate fruits of their con-
quest. Gladly would she avert any diminution
of power that might obstruct her protege from
following up the traditional policy of his House,
and retrieving the bitter humiliation which he has
experienced—the prestige which he has for ever
forfeited ! But it is too late ! The hour for
Austrian intervention has passed away. Her du-
plicity and insincerity have been too clearly' and
unequivocally manifested--her soleiniiiabligations
too flagrantly and basely violated--.4opermit the
slightest confidence to be reposed by those whom
she has so scandalously deceived iu any future
promises. Austria has deliberately chosen her
course, and she cannot be permitted to retrace
'the path. In place of a straightforward and
manly policy, she professed a despicable neutrality.
She must now abide by her selection.
It is impossible to suppose that the Allies would
now listen to propositions which they so decidedly
rejected under far less favourable circumstances,
or that they would even be contented with the
unqualified acceptance of the Four Points, once
so contumeliously and un wisely rejected by Russia.
They have acquired an indisputable right_the
right of conquest—to impose new and more
stringent conditions, and they will unquestionably
avail themselves of the privilege. They will natu-
rally insist on ample security for the future good
behaviour of Russia, and in the most approved
form--that of "material guarantees," and also on
a full indemnity for the expenses of the War into
which they were forced by the unwarrantable ag-
gression of Russia on her inoffensive neighbour.
The Crimea, already virtuallyconquered, obviously
constitutes one of these securities. As we have
repeatedly pointed out, it can never under any
circumstances, or on any pretences, be restored to
Russia.

But even that will not be sufficient, for it is not
in the East only that she has menaced her neigh-
bours, or unduly extended her dominions by
making might prevail over light ; nor would the
surrender of the Crimea be an adequate restitu-
tion for the innumerable and grievous wrongs she
has committed during a series of years, and which
cry to HEAVEN for vengeance. The justice and I
expediency of enforcing pecuniary compensation
for all the costs and expenses of the War is so
palpable that we can scarcely conceive a British
Minister daring to submit to the consideration of
a British Parliament any treaty of peace in which I
it did not form a leading feature.
