LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1854.

Sanguinary fighting on the Danube at Matchin
—suppressed rage among the Russian maritime
authorities at Sebastopol, on learning intelli-
gence of the entry of the combined fleets
into the Black ,Sea—a revival of confidence at
Constantinople—an anticipation, both at Paris
and at London, of the speedy withdrawal of MM.
Brunnow and Kisseleff—hesitation at Berlin—
anxiety at Vienna—evidence of the calm and re-
solute determination of the CZAR to persist in his
desperate policy, according to the latest advices
from St. Petersburg. Behold the situation im-
mediately before the re-assembling of Parliament.
" To this complexion it leas come at last"—as we
predicted as far back as the spring of 1853—in
spite of all our repeated evasions of the difficulty,
and of alt our reiterated attempts at negotiation.
War has not been avoided: it has only been mag-
nified, Peace has not boon secured : it has only
been rendered less attainable. Hitherto the
danger has been shirked, it must now be
looked boldly in the face. The evil can
no longer be avoided, it must be grappled
with and crushed. It has so been. insisted by us,
day after day, almost without any intermission
whatever during the last half-year and upwards.
Vainly, until now, so far as concerns the recog-
nition of the truth by her MAJESTY'S government.
It is satisfactory, however, at last, to feel con-
scion; that the rapid approach of the Legislative
session urges the Cabinet on to some show at
least of resistance to the criminal aggressions of the
Russian AUTOCRAT. Whence, in a great measure,
we rest assured the modifications recently ob_
servable in the course pursued by this country
towards the arch-assailant of the Turkish empire.
Whence,
,indeed, the entrance into the Euxine of
the combined fleets under Admirals DUNDAS and
HAmELTN. Whence the warlike tone in which
the crew of H.M.S. Thetis was addressed the
other day by a flag-officer at Portsmouth.
But for the hastening onwards of the
time when the discussions of Parliament
will be resumed, we question very much whether
any of these signs of awakening energy would have
been perceptible. Nevertheless, howsoever this

may be, those tokens of resolve have at length
S Nen vilnessed, and the nation at large must feel
thankful :that it is so under existing circum-
