Austria is at her dirty work again ! She is
striving to get up a cause of complaint against
Sardinia, hoping that a diversioi in favour of
Russia may thereby be accomplished, or that she
may have some excuse for setting aside her pre.

Fpirit of Germanism, so long prevalent in
British councils, will still induce our Ministers to
truckle to her most unreasonable behests, and to
receive her ukases

very important element in the account, has been

or Coburg influence can neutralise or effectually
oppose the cu. rrent which has set in so steadily and
strongly in the right direction ; nor could any
Mministr.? .tion hold its ground that should attempt
to substitute back-stairs intrigues or unconstitu-

The Russians have, it appears, deserted " the
second pillar " of the gate of Xlcolaieff. and to
Kherson. Clearly perceiving that they could not
maintain their position against the English fleet,
they blew up, up Thursday rooming, the 18th
instant, their fortifications at Otchakoff Point,
mounting 23 guns, which were assailable by our
mortar vessels. We have thus obtained the full
command of the estuary of the Boug and the
Dnieper, and can operate either by land or water,
on any side, against the Russian towns. The
vast importance of combined operations, where
troops and vessels can mutually support each
other, is now thoroughly understood and appre-
ciated. We cannot doubt that these first sue-
cesaes at Kinburn and Otchakoff will
be duly followed up, and that it will
bo our pleasing duty to record other valuable
acquisitions. There are numerous small batteries
erected at various points along both roads that
cannot possibly hold out if properly and vigorously
assailed. We shall probably find that the Rus-
sians will anticipate the impending and inevitable
blows, and spare us the trouble of assailing these
detached and isolated batteries, by blowing them
up themselves. Our troops are within two days'
march of either town, and they can be accom-
panied by a number of gun-boats and mortar-
vessels—all ships, in fact, not drawing more than
eighteen feet water. The admirable chart just
published by Mr. WYLD shows how feasible is the
project above referred to. If we do not capture or
destroy these important towns it will not be the
ability, but the will, that is wanting. We do not
fear that there shall be any deficiency on the part
of Sir E. LYONS, unless he be fettered and re-
stricted by instructions from
the people speak Whitehall. If
out firmly and resolutely the
necessary authority will be given, and Sir CHAS.
WOOD prevented from marring our most brilliant
opportunities. On the proceedings of the
next
few weeks the eventualities of the War may
mainly depend. We must see that they are be-
fitting the honour and dignity of the British ne.
