iu Paris on this morantous- iii 446 a
Sect. "You English," "are not in eetr4-6,
nest ; you are using us in the war as your Mancbes.,.x-01
ter traders use their distant customers ; the articles,,,
you send to the seat of war in the shape of soldiers -
axe deficient in numbers, and latterly inferior in-`1
qua i ay. We submit to thecouscription from one t
' of France to the other ; our young men are taken
.1
from their homes, and hurried off in six months o
the Crimea, while your Ministers, to keep up their
own popularity, dare not even mention the ballot
for the militia. Surely there is no equality or fair
dealing in this."
These, we assert, are words commonly made use
of by our Allies, who have themselves well and gal-
lantly fulfilled their undertakings, but who can-
not be expected to continue their exertions, when
they hold, and hold with justice, sentiments such
as are expressed above. Frenchmen never will
believe that we are in earnest till they see some
effort on our part more effective than abortive at-
tempts to raise German, Italian, and Swiss legions,
or to levy mutinous Bashi-Bazouks and useless
Turkish contingents ; while in order, we suppose,
to give confidence to our latest invention—the
Cosqteks of the Sultan—Colonel Tar is left, albeit
in British employ, to be dealt with by the tender
mercies of Austria, without an effort to save him.
',Surely any sensible Englishman who reflects
upon all these things must arrive at the same con-
clusion as ourselves—that all this apparent warlike
energy on the part of our Premier is
.simply a
humbug, and that he is preparing the difficulties
on all hands which will ultimately compel the coun-
try to make peace, while he himself may keep the
appearance of being coerced by the votes of the
peace Cabinet which he himself has constructed,
and by the effects of the blunders of the blind in-
struments he has selected to assist him in "carry-
ing on the war."

of perfection ; and he trusted they might say, with the
blessing of Providence upon its efforts, strong in its faith,
in the rectitude of its cause, strong in the consciousness
of justice on its side, animattd by the unanimity of the
people and by their concord towards the common end—
he trusted they might say that there was nothing which
they might not hope to accomplish under the guidance
of skilful generals, and by means of the valour of the
English soldiery. They had been told they were fighting
without an object, because they were unable to specify the
precise terms on which they were willing to close the war.
That must be a mistake. They knew the reason that
had obliged them to take up arms—because Russia was
not disposed to obey the dictates of international law,
and set herself up in defiance of the other powers of Eu-
r )pe. Their object was to humble Russia, and injure
her and damage her in every way that they could, and
to make her feel that when the powers of Europe were
banded together in support of right and justice, any
other country, be it what it might, was powerless in
resistance, and would be obliged to bend the neck. Such
was the object of the war, but it would not be accom-
plished by terms of peace. Rus•is would have to feel
herself actually humbled. He desired not that in the
terms there should be anything that should rankle in
the mind of that country, but what he desired to see
established by negotiation was, security to us and the
other states of Europe, that if such a disposition —which
he trusted they should, by means of their armies, se-
verely chastise—continued to animate the policy of
Russia, the conditiOns of the kingdoms of the East
should be so raised for the future, that there should not
be the materials which there had been to carry such a
policy into effect. They had ...leard of rumours of peace.
lie knew not what authority there 'was to be placed in
those rumours ; but he would say, if Russ ia hUmbled, was
ready to offer suitable conditbus, he would accept them,
whether they came directly from herself or through an-
other channel ; but if on the other hand she was not con-
tent to sue for peace, and make terms that would satisfy
us as to the future, then our coarse was clear enough.
They would redouble their efforts. They would so em-
ploy the time during the next winter that they might be
fully prepared to commence in the spring of the year
with still more powerful cffect. That. way the only safe
course by which they could insure an enduring peace,
or accelerate the dawn of that day when tranquillity
would be restored to Europe, and the sanctity of public
right be established on such a basis that Russia would
not again attempt to assail. The hon. gentleman then
resumed his seat amidst loud applause.

• Take the latest appearance of abortive activity
shown by the allies, the occupation of Kinbourn:—
was any operation in war ever more false in prin-
ciple, or more iniincere in its ostensible purpose ?
Wo believe not.
Our object is professed to have been, to destroy
effectually the naval power of Riissia in the Black
Sea by ruining the docks and arsenals of Nicolaieff.
Surely, the natural mode of doing this was by go-
ing at once with a force, and at a season when there
might have been at least a probability of success.
But no, we go at the beginning of winter with an
inadequate expedition, and we take a Martello
tower, on a sand pit, 50 miles from our object ; an
o I eration which can servo no other purpose but
that of giving warning to our enemy, and by the
spring we shall find the obnoxious establishments
of Kherson and Nicolaieff surrounded by loagues
of earthworks, and bristling with thousands of cam-
non, raised and planted by the genius of Todtleben.
We can never force the river. Warned by the fate
of Sebastopol, " the Russians," as we heard said
by an expel ieneed admiral, " will never come to
the neck of the bottle again."
By this miserable peddling all chance of ever
destroying the southern arsenals of Russia has been
rendered hopeless, and if peace be made, the Czar,
in five years from the breaking up of the alliance,
may have his fleet as strong as ever in numbers,
and mannel by sailors whom there is nothing what.
ever to prevent his training in the Caspian and the
Baltic, while the disruption of all former conditions
of society in the East, which must follow the events
of the last two years, will place at his disposal the
entire maritime population of Greece and the
islands. The permanent menace of Sebastopol will
be simply transferred to the Dnieper and the Bug.
We find by the arrival of the Overland Mail that,
in addition to the circumstances prepared and made
ready to coerce this country into a peace, some or
which we have enumerated before—namely, the
artificial money, the artificial dearness of bread, the
threatened American quarrel, and many others too
numerous to mention—we find, we say, that various
Indian tifficulties have been prepared in that em-
pire in readiness for the arrival of the news of the
fall of Kars, and the effect likely to be produced
in Central Asia by that announcement.
It is now understood that the Soutal insurrection
remains in full vigour, that a religious war has
broken out in Oude, necessitating the annexation
of that wretchedly misgoverned country ; that a
quarrel has arisen between the Ameer of Caubul and
the heirs of the Khan of Candahar ; and that the
former threatens to call upon England to fulfil her
treaty liabilities, and march into Affghanistau to
place on the musnud at Candahar the very prince
whom she formerly—despite of justice, policy, and
honour—removed by violence from the government
of Caubul, under the au,pices (;) the very statesman
who is now Premier of Eugland.

If we add to all this, that it is rumoured that
Herat has falieu into the hands of the Persians, we
must admit that the intelligence of our mishap at
Kars will find a state of things in India which may,
without exaggeration, be added to the list of coer-
cive ditliculLies necessary to force England into a
peace which will certainly be anything but desir-
able or honourable—a state of things which will
afford I ut little possibility of disposing of the troops
of our Eastern Empire to assist in repairing the
errors and disasters of our " vigorous carrying on
of the war" of the West.

The surrender of Kars is announced on Russian
authority, in another column. There is now, in-
deed, no doubt of the tact. What, then, is the
amount of disgrace which should accrue to those
who left its garrison to perished unaided, or of the
punishment which ought to await them if the Eng-
lish nation are auy longer what they formerly pro-
fessed to be—resolute and honest men ?

DARING ROBBERY OF JEJVELLERY.

PORTSMOUTH, Sunday. —A daring burglary was com-
mitted here this morning on the Portsea premises of
Messrs. E. and E. Emanuel, goldsmiths and silversmiths,
situated on the Herd, facing the harbour, and within
one door of the dockyard gate, where a strong force of
police, under Lieut. Hall, is constantly on duty.
On the left hand side of Messrs. Emanuel's is the naval
provision establishment of Messrs. Chambers, and on
the right thearmy outfitting establishment of Mr. Woods.
Mr. Ezekiel Emanuel's family retired to rest between 11
and 12 o'clock last night, at which time the premises and
their contents were all safe. Between 1 and 2 o'clock

noise to their lodgers or other inmates, and went to bed
c
atterwards, and again got out of bed and looked down
with the shop, but seeing co light there, and
still bearing, as he fancied, his neighbours moving about,
again retired to bed. It would appear that this must
have been the time the robbery was in progress. On one
of the servants going down at half-past 7 o'clock this
morning she was surprised, on entering the sitting room
which leads into the shop, to find the doors of the latter
partly open, ant implements of housebreaking lying upon
the floor. She ha,tened to call her mother, who, on
descending to the shop, found that a burglary bad been
committed. The thieves had evidently been disturbed,
and most probably by his looking through theglass cupola,
under which it is euppoted some person was set to watch,

could not see any one be.ow. On examining the sho? Mr.
Emanuel found the window cleared of gold rings, chains

of which cannot at present be accnrstely estimated, but

immediately apprised of the robbery, and Mr. Superin-

cate with various parts of the kingdom through the tele-
graph and other effective means. The Mayor of the
borough and the police made an inspectian of the pre
wises robbed this morning, when it was discovered that
the thieves had effected an entrance in the first place by
the bottle store of Messrs. Antill and Peters, the wine

by removing the battens and tiles. This admitted them
on to the gutter of the roof of Mr. Emanuel's workshop
which is detached from the dwelling
and separated by e
yard. They took off the tiles of this roof so as to admit
a man's body, and thence broke through the ceiling o
the workshop, and, without stealing any of the va.uable
plate or chronometers strewn about that room, descended
the stairs, crossed the yard, and wrenched open the
kitchen window shutters, by which means they en-
tered the house, and got into the sitting-room and
shop. The fanlight over the shop door the burglars
covered -with a sheet of brown paper

flection into the street from the interior while they were
at work. What renders the boldness of the robbery an d
