hardly uttered in the bmise. The universal dis- 1
gust, for instance, with Austrianism, Coburgism,
and Germanism generally, is never heard of there.
It would be uncourtly, it would inconvenience
LEOPOLD and his relatives ; it would show the
German people that tke English people sympa-
thised with them, and not with their detested
Courts. It might issue also in a demand for
Ministers, who would be not the Ministers of
Saxe Coburg Gotha, but the Ministers of Eng-
land ; it might surround her MAJESTY with ad-
visers whom no cajoleries and no obstinacy could
divert from a straightforward English course, and
from utter contempt of the endeavours of German
influence to turn them aside. With an outspoken
House of Commons, what Minister would have
dreamed of sending a Plenipotentiary to Vienna,
to discuss those Four Points which all now blush
to recollect, especially one so devoted to the
Austro-Coburg policy, as to have swallowed a
proposal which the French Government and ours
equally rejected, and which he himself was ashamed
till compelled, to acknowledge in Parliament. How
very few dare utter the honest sentiments of the
people, while those who venture to do it are
baited by the subordinates, and jeered, or occa-
sionally lectured by their master. There is no-
thing, however, approaching to a manly, general,
and steady enforcement of the people's views on
the great matter of the day. The consequence
has been that the foreign policy of the War has,
as we have shown repeatedly, sacrificed more victims
than even mal-administration. Had Saxe Coburg
Gotha vanished prior to the war in some blessed
geological convulsion, we believe that Cronstadt
and Sebastopol would have been in our hands
last autumn. This would equally have been
the case if the representatives of England did not
allow themselves to be checkmated by the Coburg
nominees of our Cabinet.

Tho titled, then, or the competent, for leaders.
This is the fundamental question. Our House
of Commons itself will be worthless till it has
settled it in favour of the latter ; Administrative
Reform, while aristocrats and tools of Germanism
are the exclusive masters, would only give a more
perfect machine for working out German, not
English, views. A Foreign Enlistment Bill,
which contained no clause for raising a Polish
Legion, was bad enough, and ought to have been
contumeliously rejected ; but the grand evil is an
aristocratic, family, coronet system of Cabinet
making, which makes all the regiments of our
army an enlistment for carrying cut a foreign
policy, which is at the same time a Foreigners'
policy.

Disguise it who will, it nevertheless is a fact,
and one which cannot too generally be accepted
and acted on, that the Allies have nothing what-
ever to hope from the absolute Courts of Europe ;
not even the preservation of a decent appearance
of neutrality, unless enforced by fear. Russia is
the modern centre of despotism—the baleful orb
round which the minor Courts revolve—and pledge
themselves to what they may, their sympathies
will ever be with her, and their secret efforts
always at her service. The hearts of the people
of Europe, manly and generous, may throb
in sympathy with the career of our brave
troops—may bound with exultation, or tremble
with eagerness, as news of a success or a
repulse of the Allies reaches them, but to the
crowned vultures on their necks nothing could be
more grateful than the Russian cry of victory
unless it were the scent of carnage among her
foes. Their instincts and sympathies point to
Russia as their natural protector, and if Russia
were likely to win, Russia would have almost
every one of them openly going over to her side
instanter.

As one proof among many of this, the recent
proceedings of the Neapolitan Government may
be noticed. Not daring to follow his instincts
and join Russia, the legitimate King of the
Lazzaroni is indulging his bent by forbidding
the export of any of the productions of the
kingdom for the use of the Allied Armies in the
East, and this under the hypocritical pretext
of enforcing a rigil neutrality I To such an ex-
tent has this been carried, that not only cereals
and live cattle, but also tallow, salt moat, hemp,
&c., are now included in the list of articles pro-
hibited. Hay and straw, too, have an export
duty levied on them, which was not the case
before. Unfortunately, matters have been so mis-
managed that our Government, more than any
other, have relied on obtaining supplies from this
well-ordered kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and the
consequence is that want is felt chiefly from
their comparative nearness to the seat of War, and
remonstrances on the subject have been made by
our Government. Of what nature these were we
are unable to say ; but, to be effectual, France
and England should couple them with threats or
a demonstration stirring enough to bring back his
senses and the show of honesty to a BOURBON,
and to convince him that his exegesis of the law
of neutrality partakes too much of the nature of
a fraudulent gloss to be orthodox, while its en-
forcement involves consequences too serious to
permit o icing persisted in. Why not block-
ade or bombard Naples, and seize BoatßL's fleet f

The following order of the day has been addressed to
the French army by its commander-in-chief:--
Soldiers in the battle of the 18th, our eagles were car-
ried to the works which form the very precincts of Se-
bastopol ; but it was necessary to abstain from carrying
to the furthest a contest whose incidents I Lad not fore-
seen would be so bloody, and you returned to your
lines in order, the enemy not daring to leave his en-
trenchments or disturb your return.
Our actual situation is that of the day before the
combat ; my confidence in your ardour and in our suc-
cess is the same. The arrivals of every day suffice, and
mcre than suffice, to replace those amongst you who
have gloriously fallen, and whom in your hearts you
have sworn to revenge.
We have gained ground, and in compsessing the
enemy more and more, we strike him with snore cer-
tainty. He cannot subsist, fill up the gaps in his ranks,
or provide himself with munition, but at the priue of un-
heard-of efforts ; while we, masters of the sea, inces-
santly and plentifully renew our means.
Soldiers !—You will show yourselves more patient
and energetic than ever in this obstinate contest, which
will decide the peace of the world, and in which you
already have given proofs of self-devotion, bravery, and
patriotism, adorning your flag with immortal glory.
I need not cite here any one individual out of so many
brave men who honoured their names in the heroic con-
test of dune 18.

In consequence of the fatigues which the troops have
to undergo during the great heats, and for the promotion
of the general health, every soldier will be allowed, from
the 22d of June, ore ration of wine and one of brandy
every day, independent of the sugar and coffee ration.
The regimental officers will have to take especial care
that the brandy is not drunk neat ; it must be mixed
with water, to serve as a beverage during the day.

There was a very thin attendance of the firms of the
district, and only a small amount of business transacted
during the day. The price of pigs has improved, and
the quotations of manufactured iron, settled at the pre-

tain*l. The state of the trade of the districts will be
more fully ascertained at the meeting to be held in Bir-
mingham to-morrow, and where, as usual, the attend-
ance of ironmasters and merchants will be more numer-

ATEST NEWS.

SUCCESSFUL BOMBARD-
MENT OF THE REDAN.

-
WAR DEPARTMENT, JULY 12.

Lord Panmure presents his compliments to the
editor of The Sun, and has great pleasure in
transmitting the enclosed intelligence which has
this day reached him from General Simpson :

" CRIMEA, JULY 11, 4.45 P.M.
" Our fire yesterday had good effect on the

Redan.
" Cbolera is decreasing, and the health of the

army is satisfactory."

PARIS, THURSDAY, 8 A.M.

The Moniteur announces that the last de-
spatches received from the Crimea are dated the

10th of July, 2 p.m.

General Pelissier writes as follows to the

Minister of War :

" I have nothing new to announce to you to-

day. The firing has been very brisk during the
whole of the day between the English and the
Great Redan. This evening that work is very
silent, consequently our Allies will be able to ad-
vance their works."

The Moniteur publishes despatches from Ad•

coital Penaud, from the Baltic.

A despatch from St Petersburg of the 13th inst.
states that the British ships bombarded Krasnaja
Gorka on the forenoon of the 3d inst. for five
hours. They destroyed the telegraphic station
and barracks.

A private telegraphic despatch from Barcelona,
dated the 10th inst., announces that the work-
men had left the town, and were encamped in
the open fields with bands of peasants.

The National Guard had given its support to
the Government, and mounted guard in the town.
The troops were oufzide. The town was tran-
quil. The shops had re-opened. The manufac-
tories had struck work.

General Zapa,tero had received reinforcements.
He awaited more, to be able to act.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 2.—Sir George Brown
sails this evening from this for England in the
Nubia.
The barracks at Scutari are this day to be va-
cated by the healthy troops, who will be encamped
a little distance off, and the whole of the buildings
will be appropriated for the reception of sick and
wounded. The deaths are not more now than
four and five a day, but cholera is making its
appearance.
Miss Nightingale is at Therapia, and does not
intend to return to England unless obliged.
The Oneida arrived here this morning, and sails
again this evening for Balaklava with all on board
except the officers of the Turkish Contingent.

Die imperial family has been plunged into deep
affliction by the death of the young Prince Djemal-
Edden, who expired on Friday last, after a short
illness. His remains were conveyed with great
pomp to the mausoleum of Sultan Mehemed, and
all the great functionaries assisted at this mournful
ceremony.
Mehemed Bey, ambassador at the French Court,
is about to start in a few days for that destination,
and will, I believe, be accompanied by M. Musu-
rus, who has been lately appointed Charg6
d'affaires at Turin.

Yesterday, General Vivian, accompanied by his
staff, had a long conference with the Seraskier, at
which the Minister of Foreign Affairs was also pre-
sent. The Turkish Contingent is daily increasing,
and consists of about S,OOO men at the present
moment. They are encamped at Hasap-den.
THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Cottrrier de Marseille publishes the follow-
ing letter from Constantinople, received by the last
mail :

" The Turkish army of Roumelia, which had been
concentrated between Silistria and Rustchuk, has
moved towards the Dobrudscha, which is the only point
by which the enemy might attempt an invasion,
Austria being still bound to protect the Principalities.
On the 12th of June, from three to four thousand men
arrived at Toultcha, under the command of Hassan and
Saly Paellas, and immediately began to fortify that place
as well as Issaktcha. Between the latter place and
Matchin, there are from 12,000 to 15,000 infantry
and cavalry stationed, with 32 pieces of artillery, and
on the river a steam-boat and three gun-boats. These
are said to be very good troops, but the same praise
cannot be given to the five or six paellas who command
them, and who do not inspire much confidence from
their military talents. On the evening of the 17th a
report was current at Galatz that the Russian flotilla
had bombarded the points where the Turks were throw-
ing up fortifications, but flies rumour requires confirma-
tion. The greater part of the Austrian troops quartered
at Bucharest, Jassy, and other points of the Principali-
ties, have evacuated them, and retired towards Gallicia,
which will bo henceforth the basis of the operations of
that army. The Austrian general who commands the
garrison at Galatz, after having made a tour of insp;ction
on the borders of the Pruth, has retired to Ibrail. There
is every reason to believe that the Russians wish to make
a diversion in the Dobrudscha, now that the attitude of
Prussia and Austria allows them to dispose, without
hesitation or dread, of the greater part, of their forces.
