spatched. There may be adequate reasons for the
present postponement, but there can be none for
the past delay. That, at least, seems to be with-
out the slightest justification or palliation. Had
Kaffa been taken some months since, and a
demonstration only was wanting, the whole of the
peninsula of Kertch would have remained perma-
nently in our bands, as well as Arabat itself; and
with it the chief, if not the only communication
with the Eastern districts. Genitchi, too, might
have been easily held, and that would have formed
a basis of operations against the Tohongar road, as
Kaffa would have done against Simpheropol and
all the central districts of the Crimea.

of the Circassian tribes, and we may hope that
they will aid in expelling the Russians from the
south side of the Kuban and the Cauc,4us. All
this is hopeful—but it wants to be carried out in
bolder style ; the opinion of Europe, as Louis
NAPOLEON has truly said, must yat be pronounced
—but it must be so pronounced, we would add, as
to liberate Poland before this contest is over, or
all will be vain.

Cu ÜBT CIRCO LAB.

WINDSOR, Nov. 20.
There was no addition to the Royal dinner party yes-
terday.
Lady Macdona!d has succeeded the Duchess of Athole
as Lady in Waiting to her illaje,ty. Her Grace remains
on a visit.

Lord Waterpark and Msjor•General Berkeley Drum-
loond have succeeded Earl Somers and Mr. R. Ormsby
Gore, as Lord and Groom in Waiting.

We only advert in conclusion to our mechanical
failures ; there is no room for dispute here. We
have seen our Ally surpass us in our own depart-
ment, naval shipbuilding I We have seen a
splendid mistake at Sweaborg, through lazy,
obstinate, or treacherous disregard of Sir CHAS.
NArna's reasonable advice. Millions of money
were wasted on useless ships, and the right vessels
for the right place were not even built. How is it
that Lord PALMERSTON continues in his office such
a convicted incapable as Sir CHARLES WOOD ?
We might say much and justly, no doubt, on
Horse Guard appointments and maladministra-
tion, but their opponents would find ground for
dispute. The want of gun-boats, both in the
Danube, the Sea of Azoff, and, above all, the
Baltic, is the flagrant delinquency of our Naval
Minister, and one for which he deserves summary
ejection from office. Had any of Mr. PEro's
contractors failed as conspicuously, a second
tender from him would have been returned un-
opened.

Sir Alexander Spearman had an interview with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official
residence in Downing-street.

Viscount Palmerston arrived in town yesterday from
his seat, Broadlands, Hants.

Despatches from the Lord High Commissioner of the
lonian Islands were received yesterday at the Colonial-
office.

There has been even greater negligence dis-
played on the Asiatic coast. Omen Pacßa has
at length taken the enemy in the rear, and cut
off the communications. A zealous co-operation
with the independent tribes.vroula have averted
the danger to Kars, and the operations against
the Ottoman dominions in Asia, from which such
serious evils might have . occurred but for the
vigorous defence so ably organised by General
WILLIAMS, and the officers and men under his
command, and the tardy but brilliant operations
under OMER PACHA. Let the Russians be re-
stricted to the Caspian route as the only means of
escape from the trap in which they have now
sufiered themselves to be caught.

THE KING OF SARDINIA.

It will be seen by our telegraphic despatch in this
day's paper that the King of Sardinia left Genoa yester-
day morning, accompanied by a brilliant staff, and his
Excellency the Duke de Gramont, French Minister at
Turin.

His Majesty is expected to land at Marseilles to.
morrow, the 22d. There be will receive the authorities',
and breakfa't at the Prefecture.

The Emperor of the French will be represented at
Marseilles by Count Ney, his Imperial Majesty's Aide
de-camp, Viggo int de Cornegliano, his Chanaberlain, and
Colonel de V.,abreque, his Equerry.
The King will leave Marseilles immediately after
breakfast for Lyons, where an official* reception will
take place.
The Emperor will depute Prince Napoleon, accom-
panied by several great officers of the Court, to receive
the King at Lyons, where his Majesty will dine and
sleep the night of the 22d. At Lyons the Count Cavour
and M. d'Azeglio, who will proceed from Turin over-
land, will their royal master.
His Majesty will maks his grand entry into Paris on
the 23d, between the hours of two and three p.m.
In Paris great enthusiasm is Tnanifested on the occasion
of the Royal visit, and the Emperor and Empress eTe-
cially have repeatedly expresAed their sincere satisfaction
at the opportunity afforded them of doing honour to
their illustrious and gallant ally.

Now is pre-eminently the moment to look
• honestly at the causes of our imperfect success.
If we must in these days of the telegraph and the
railroad adhere to the old military practice of
retiring into winter quarters, let the Council
Chamber and the manufactory be collecting the
storm-clouds and forging the thunderbolts against
the fated hour. Nations struggling for their
own liberty have not shrunk from a winter cam-
paign ; and ever since the retreat of the ten
thousand history has recorded its instances in
which the ardour or the necessities of war have
been more than an antidote for the rigours of the
season. There were Generals in the Hungarian
War of whom their great civil leader has oppor-
tunely reminded us who could give the enemy a
sound thrashing at the season when they least
thought of it. However we are to lie by a little.
Let us then look at the past, and learn for the
future. There are some obvious oversights, if
not worse, through which we have suffered much,
and which ought not surely to occur again.
We last year overlooked the Sea of Azoff ; the 1
consequence, of course, was a well-fed garrison at
Sebastopol all the winter. The supplies were
almost at their gates. We left Odessa on the
other side, and troops and supplies of many kinds
were ready there for the Crimea in the spring.
We have done creditably this summer in the Sea
of Azoff, but have we done all we might T It is
to be feared that considerable supplies may yet
reach the Russian army, even from that quarter,
when the sea is frozen. We have not destroyed
Genitchi, which commands the entrance of the
Putrid Sea and the passage to that remarkable
road, the Spit of Arabat. Neither have we taken
Arabat at the other end of the Spit, nor yet Kaffa,
which almost commands the Spit from the bay of
Kertch. These little omissions in a great exploit
may prove sufficient to neutralise it. Is it quite
too late to complete this part of our work before •
winter render it impracticable ? The sparing of
Odessa, we regret to see, is even defended.
Another of our greatest failures is that we
have made no allies. With the exception of
Sardinia, an exception due rather to the nobility
of its Monarch and people than to us, literally
none. The very Tartars of the Crimea who at
first were enthusiastic for us, we have so dealt
with that actually a whole village of them, whom
we had fed all last winter, requested to be carried
to Russian territory I How invaluable they
might have proved. Had we assured them at
first that if we conquered they should never more '
pass under Russian sway, we might have known
through them all the Russian movements north
of Sebastopol. Semi-savages are the most adroit
of spies, and in their own country their informa-
tion would have been complete. -Russia, however,
knew all our movements—we none of hers. She
used as allies those who might for a word have

For outrageous flattery and unmitigated blas-
phemy commend us to the Archbishop of Kher-
son. Other Priests have done noticeable strokes

in this line, but we would match him against his

tribe, however gifted they may be. Some rem-
nant of self-respect would appear to check the
flow of their unctuous flattery, and some whole-
some awe their blasphemous impulses ; but Mon-
signor Innocent systematically gives licence to his
singularly perverted imagination, and deals out
flattery and 'blasphemy with a trowel. Doubtless
he understands the market to which he brings his
wares, and has reasonable grounds for hope that
they will bring him a plentiful return.
On what other supposition can we account for
the morceaux to which we are about to call the
reader's attention ? The Emperor of RUSSIA, it
is pretty generally known, does not possess the
strongest bead, and educated in a corrupt creed
is a pitiable thrall to superstition. The necessities
of despots of this stamp is generally the opportu-
nity of designing Priests, and it must be admitted
the forlorn cub of the Emperor NICHOLAS is now
drinking the waters of adversity drugged to
unusual bitterness. Posting rapidly here, flitting
wildly there, he can find consolation nowhere, and
in this condition he hies to a sacred fans, where
the wily Monsignor, in all the pomp and glory
of the Archiepiscopal dignity, waits to greet
him. Arrived at the threshold, he is thus
addressed—" Thou hadst scarcely put on the
crown of thy ancestors when it pleased PROPI-
DENCR to surround it with thorns. Our bodily
eyes are not accustomed to see such an ornament
sparkle on the heads of kings, but the eyes of
faith see in it with piety and respect a souvenir of
the crown of CHRIST." The courtly blasphemy
and fulsome flattery of these words it would be
difficult to surpass. Their absurdity, however,
is almost as conspicuous. The orphaned despot
bad " scarcely put on the crown of his ancestors
when it pleased PROVIDE/WE to surround it with
thorns." " And not so bad a protection either,"
the Great FREDERICK would have exclaimed, had
the words been addressed to him ; " thorns are
bad to handle save with an iron hand." The
EMPEROR'S crown surrounded with thorns—what
a notion I Why, it suggests a better version of
the Pilgrim and the Pease I Of course the mean-
ing belonging to the words is not that intended
by the Archbishop—what he meant the reader will
already have perceived.
The next absurdity is the idea of the aforesaid
thorns sparkling, radiance not being usually a cha-
racteristic of thorns until they find their way iato
the fire. Possibly a vague analogy of this sort
floated in the Archbishop's mind. The remainder
of the quotation is in too offensively bad t?ste for
notice. Not satisfied, however, with playing the
Episcopal Courtier after so scandalous a fashion,
Monsignor must don the mantle of prophet. De-
signating the Western Powers as " two brands"
—England, " debased and jeopardised England,"
being one " which, after being extinguished for
two centuries, recommences to smoke (who lit it?)
in the midst of a yawning gulf," he authorita-
tively declares that " the winds will abate, the
rain fall to fertilise our fields, and the brands
depart !"—not be extinguished, but be endowed
with powers of locomotion, and compelled to " cut
their stick." The Western Powers must look to
this, for if " the wind" be from the west, the pro-
bability is " the rain " will fall earlier than usual
"to fertilise our fields," which; considering the
quantity of snow upon them, one would have
fancied were not particularly in need of it.

been ours.
It is the same in the Principalities. Instead
of proffering them entire independence of Russia,
and the mild nominal supremacy of the SULTAN,
' with practical self-government ; and instead of
backing this with OM ER PACIIA'S Army, we
drugged them with an Austrian occupation, and
Austro-Russian Hospodars—till, cheated, bullied,
oppressed, and their very wives violated, they
owe us no thanks, and give us none. They might
have furnished a thoroughly efficient militia at
least, had we not stooped to gratify, at their cost,
the swaggering vanity and territorial gluttony of
the base coward, Austria.
On the neglect of the Poles we have too often
dilated—the people whose aid we should have
sought in every quarter, and by every means ;
but Austria, the feeblest power of Europe, forbade
the two mightiest of its Empires to hoist the white
flag ! We coquetted with Austria while thousands
and tens of thousands of men who might have
fought in our ranks are now torn from Polish
homes and knouted into battle to perpetuate their
own slavery. Through losing Poland, and silence as
to Finland, we lost Sweden also—all this year.
Nor could we blame her ; and even the Circas-
Siang, the sworn enemies of Russia, were turned
to no Purpose.

phancy and blasphemy. The witless EMPEROR,
who could listen patiently to it, and without ad-
ministering a rebuke to the speaker, must be sorely

hard if Monsignor, oily knave that he is, does

THE LATE O().ZULAGHATIoN IN PA tclA•z.

The Moniteur of yesterday contains the follow-
ing notice relative to the late conflagration :
" The fire which broke out on Sunday evening, at
the military bakehouse, on the Qtr-ti de Billy, has
not been attended with the serious consequences
which might have been feared. Only one store-
house of corn, isolated from the other part of the
building, and from the mill, has been burnt. The
immense supply of corn and flour remain, there-
fore, almost untouched, and they will be soon again
made complete by means of corn purchased abroad,
and which is now being received or on its voy-
age." The following are some additional details:—
"As soon as the fire was observed, General Reg-
nault de Saint Jean d'Angely ordered a party of
the cuirassiers of the guard to mount, whilst the
other part of them and the regiment of voltigeurs
of the guard went to the spot on foot at double
quick time. MM. Fleury and de Toulongeon, aide-
de-camp and orderly officer to the Emperor, were
early on the spot, encouraging the men employed,
and did not quit the spot until all fear of further
danger was removed. The Minister of the Interior
was one of the first to arrive, and on leaving he
gave 500 fr. to M. Colombe, the commissary of
police, to be distributed among four men who had
been injured by some of the falling timber. An
act of courage and coolness, which ought not be
passed over unnoticed, took place during the fire.
A well-dressed young man, whose name is not
known, heard, at a time when the fire was burning
most violently, the alarm whistle of the steam-
engine, which indicated that the boilers had Us-
come overheated, and were about to explode.
Every passage was obstructed by the flames, but the
young man, guided by the sound of the whistle,
rushed forward and opened the valves, and thus
prevented additional mischief. Two English non-
commissioned officers, in undress who are in Paris
for the service of the English Government at the
'Universal Exhibition, made themselves remarkable
by the coolness with which they went into the
greatest danger. The Minister of War, who had
noticed their daring during the fire, requested them
to call on him the following day that he might
personally thank them. All that the storehouse
contained—corn, flour, and material, as well as the
moveable granaries which were in the building—
fell a prey to the flames. The mill has been some-
what damaged. The storehouses, specially appro-
priated to keepina the flour, and in which the
greatest part of the supply was placed, were pre-
served. There still remains at La Villetto a supply
of flour for three months. The two bakehouses are
again at work on the Quai de Billy, and the ovens
are uninjured. The fire appears to have originated
in a flue running from the granary to the &team-
engine ; the soot which remained in this flue is
said to have caught fire from coming in contact
with some sparks in the chimney. The form of
those granaries, and their being built of deal, ex-
plains the rapid progress of the flames. All the
building materials of the burned premises are lost,
as the stones are calcined. On the ground-floor
there still remains a layer of corn, rice, and flour,
of a certain thickness, but it is all so mixed with
ashes and rubbish that it will be useless unless it
can be converted into starch. Behind and to the
north of the burnt building is another much larger,
but the wind, blowing towards the river, carried
the flames away from this latter pile of building,
and it was scarcely touched."
Some idea may be formed of the extent of the
establishment destroyed on Sunday evening, from
the fact that by the regulations stores were always
kept on the premises to supply 40,000 men for 3
months, and that upwards of 40,000 rations were
prepared there each day.

EMBARKATION OF THE KING OF
SARDINIA.
TURIN, Nov. 20.

The King embarked this morning from Genoa
for Marseilles, with a brilliant military suite.
The Duke de Gramont accompanies his

Count Cavour and M. d'Azeglio have left for
Lyons, where they will rejoin the King.

The last number of the Czas, published at
Cracow, states that the Russian Government is
supplying the place of the regular regiments re-
moved from Poland by the now " Militia of the

Empire." Six thousand of these troops have
already entered Poland, and will have their winter

quarters at Warsaw.

BERLIN, Nov. 20.

The mission of General Carrobert to Sweden
has caused great alarm here and at St. Peters-

It has been current to-day that his embassy
has been successful, and that Sweden has con-
sented to join the Western Alliance.
It is said that though the Western Powers re-
pudiated territorial aggrandisement for them-
selves their Allies have made no such engage-
ment.

Sweden will therefore conclude a military con-
vention with the Allies, and take part in an
invasion of the Russian territories on the Baltic

in the ensuing spring.
Russia having broken through the treaties by
which the division of Europe is regulated has
forfeited her right to those Swedish provinces she
acquired in virtue of them.

The Russian loan, so much talked of, has been
concluded.

The Swedish Government has also contracted a
loan for three-quarters of a million sterling with
the house of Heine, of this city.
The matter of the stolen despatches is treated
very mysteriously.

The Cologne Gazette states that the police
authorities of that town had prolonged from three
months to six the sentence pronounced against
the British Consul, Mr. Curtis, condemned for

ilecruitment.
The French Government is said to be negotiai

ing, in common with the Austrian, for joint re•
presentations to other Governments, in reference
to political refugees.

MADRID, Nov. 19.

Tristany has taken refuge in France. Quiet
has been completely restored to Saragossa, and it
has not been disturbed in the other provinces.
The Queen yesterday opened the University. A
grand ball will take place at the Palace this
evening.

THE RUSSIAN ARMY IN ANATOLIA.
A letter from Warsaw, in the Augsburg Gazette,
states that when Generaliplouravietf crossed the
Arpatchai to march against Kars he had only a
body of infantry of 27 battalions, and the whole of
his corps did not exceed 35,000 men, including
cavalry and artillery.
The writer, proceeding from statement to specu-
lation, adds :

" Lately, and up to the time of his assault on
Kars, he had received considerable reinforcements,
for in the reports regiments are mentioned which
before that time were in the Caucasus: The pre-
sent number of these forces, after making an allow-
ance for the losses at Kars, may be estimated at
30,000 men, but to this force must be added the
brigade of Grenadiers of the Caucasus of 5,000
men, the battalion of Chasseurs of the Caucasus of
1,000, the battalion of nobles and the artillery,
which must be reckoned at least at 3,000. In ca-
valry, there are in Turkey in Asia three regiments
of Dragoons, three of Mussulmans, three of Cos-
sacks, two of Kurds, and the militia mountaineers.
The corps of Erivan, under General Susboff, is also
in communication with the army of General Mou-
ravieff, who, notwithstanding his losses, has at his
disposal 50,000 men, if not before Kars, at least in
Anatolia. This explains why he did not raise the
siege immediately after his assault was repulsed.
The army of the Caucasus has also been reinforced."

THE RUSSIAN ARMY IN FINLAND.
The Augsburg Gazette, di: cussing the rumours
of as alliance between Sweden and the Western
Powers, volunteers a numerical statement of the
forces collected by Russia in Finland and at St.
Petersburg :
"Every one (says the Gazette) admits that the
Swedish army is excellent, and the annals of mili-
tary history have preserved the memory of its an-
cient exploits. Nevertheless, the Swedish force
is not, sufficiently strong for advantageously as-
suming the offensive, even against that part of the
Russian army which defends the empire in the
north ; the aid to be expected from an Anglo-
French fleet and a landing corps would not suffice
to restore the balance. Of good troops, Russia has
in the northern provinc;s—the first division of
Grenadiers, with the battalion of Chasseurs-Cara-
bineers, in all 14,000 men ; six reserve regiments
of Grenadiers, each 3,000 strong, in all 18,000 men;
22 Finish battalions of the line, at 600 each, in all
13,200 men (the number of these battalions in-
creases every day) - three Finnish battalions of
Chasseurs under General Ramsay, at 1,00) each,
in all 3,000 men. There are, besides, 3,000 men
of the naval crews, and the number of batteries
corresponding with these divisions. Thus Finland
is defended by an army of the best troops more
than 50,000 strong, distributed throughout this
chain of fortresses that line the coast. But General
Arbusoff has under his orders at St. Petersburg an
army of 120,000 men, together with the excellent
reserves of the Guard. The troops of the infantry
corps of the Guard and of the Ist Infantry corps,
with the reserves, occupy Revel and Courland.
In case of attack, Russia is able to concentrate on
the point threatened by Sweden imposing forces,
in estimating the amount of which we have taken
into account neither the 100,000 of the militia nor
the irregular troops. In this state of things an
offensive war on the part of Sweden against Russia,
armed with so considerable a defensive power, pre-
sents no chance of success, and ought not to be
placed in the category of probable eventualities."
