LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1855

The Allied troops having so gloriously accom-
plished the arduous and important duty in which
they were engaged, it now remains for the Allied
Governments to follow up the victory and to ob-
tain its legitimate fruits. There must now be no
waiting for Austria or for Prussia—no opening of
negotiations, the sole effect whereof would be to
give breathing-time to Russia, and to enable it to
recover partially from the heavy blow which has
just been administered. The insidious arguments
of the Peace-at-any-Price Party must now be dis-
regarded. No maudlin sentimentality can be in-
dulged in. We have sacrificed many millions of
treasure and the lives of tens of thousands of our
best and bravest, to break the pride and reduce
the inordinate power of Russia ; and, the work
having at length been accomplished, we must ren-
der the humiliation complete, and prevent the
possibility of further aggression for many years to
come. We have now acquired the 'right to im-
pose stringent terms, and not a single point can
be waived in following it up to the very utmost.
It is ridiculous to say that with the destruction
of the Russian fleet and the demolition of " the
standing menace to Constantinople and to
Europe," the objects of the War have been fully
accomplished, and that we may now safely retire
from the contest. If we did so, it would be
merely deferring the evil day, purchasing a tem-
porary exemption for ourselves at the expense of
our children and their offspring. The paper pro-
mises of Russia will no longer suffice ; " ma-
terial guarantees " of the most satisfactory cha-
racter are indispensable. The plunder of past
years must be relinquished by Russia, and an
ample indemnity given for the expanses of the
War. By insisting on those terms, we only
follow the precedent established by Russia herself
—every success being the signal for territorial
changes, and the loser invariably paid the "full
costs."

No intervention can for a moment be listened
to. Austria and Prussia have for their own pur-
poses refrained from taking part in the War.
They cannot now be permitted to interfere for the
purpose of helping Russia out of the scrape. In
this respect we have also the example of Russia
to refer to. She invariably insisted on dealing
directly with the adversary, and receiving the
propositions without any intermediate agent. She
must therefore, on the present occasion, " dree
her own weird," and come to head-quarters for
any indulgence she may require.

The next step is now anxiously looked for.
The Russian fleet has been completely destroyed,
but the Crimean army still exists. Sebastopol is
virtually our own ; but Simpheropol, Bakshi-
Serai, and other towns, still afford shelter to Rus-
sian garrisons. That army must be forced to
capit elate—the whole of the Crimea be restored
to its lawful owners. Under any circumstances
it can never again be restored to the AUTOCRAT—
never made the point of aggression to overawe in-
offensive neighbours. Once reduced into posses-
sion, it can easily be retained by those who have
the command of the surrounding seas. No army
could venture to cross Perekop and enter on the
arid stoppes which lie between it and the Crimean
capital. A thoroughly efficient commissariat, and
the certainty of ample supplies from the rear,
would be indispensable before such a movement
could be attempted.

It wowld be a hard task for Prince GORT-
SCHAKOFF to evacuate the territory, and get his
followers out of the terrible trap in which they are
caught, evc "if unassailed. But if the Allied Generals
efficiently
discharge their duty, it will be abso-
lutely impAissible. The triumphant termination
of tltie siege, will liberate a large body of men
from the harassing work of the trenches, and
ithin a few hours they may be conveyed to
Euritoria, whence a single day's march would
carry them on to Siropheropel. By doing so
promp fly they could cut off the retreat of the
Russian g•
