Description :
Introduction : —Time of Peace.—The dances and sings of the in-
habitants of a village are heard. and towards the close of day, the
hymn of the peasants, returning thanks to Heaven for the blessing-3
of peace, is wafted thrcugh the valley. Suddenly the trumpet of
discord sounds In the east. and fills the valley with its harsh reve-
berations. From the north and west its challenge is quickly
answered,
and rapidly the ferment of war eprea is itself abroad —whole nations
area themselves, and the tranquil inhasitants are aroused from their
peaceful occupations to prep ire for the dreadful strife.
No. 1. The French Army marches—Pas redouble', and Duo, " Ten-
dres Adieux."
No. 2. the Irish, Scotch, and Wel .h Regiments arrive and join
the Forces.
No. 3.—Th3 British Army assembles—Quick March.
No. 4.—The Turkish Muezzin—the Moslem Hymn to Allah—sung
from the towers of the Turkish Mosques, to excite the populace to
defend the standard of the "True Believers," is heard—Turkish War
March.
No. 5. Night. —Bivouac of the Allied Armies.—During the sium•
hers or the weary soldiers their dreams are supposed to wan ler to-
wards their distant fatherland, end the prayers for their safety, offered
up by th, it friends at home, seem to hover about them. In the still-
ness of the night the belts of the neislibsurius villages mark the hour
or midnight—all is quiet, save the footsteps or the sentinels. The
bivouac tires burn brightly, and the fitful breeze of the night asita es
their flames. The advance of the Russians is heard in the distance,
and the alarm is sounded in the camp. A short but fearfil struggle
takes place, and the enemy, though repulsed, soon obstinately re-
turning
to the charge, and protected by the darkness of the night,
seizes several posts ; but morning dawns, and quickly the battle, on
/insides, rages with renewed fury. The English, who receive the first
attack, rugs forward and charge, the enemy with desperate determi-
nation.
The French, at a " pas de course," bound forward to join
their a lies in the onward movement, and the Turks, who were at first
stoanded, and for a moment reeled under the impetuosity of the
Back, now take part in the conflict, and one general and furious
barge of the whole lire decides the fortune of the day, and leaves
I,e Allies masters of the field, amidst the shouts of " Victory'."

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1854

Two sentiments now occupy almost equally the
breasts of all honest Britons, righteous indignation
against Russia, and contemptuous indignation
against Austria and Prussia ; indeed against all
the mean and skulking Governments between
France and England on the West, and Russia on
the East. We are, in truth, come to respect our
great antagonist much more than our dishonest
but professedly neutral friends. Could we forget
that MnifsoninoFF and his Master were once at
the lying stage of that business to which
Austria and Prussia have succeeded, or in
which he has left them alone, we should sincerely
respect their present manliness, however we might
condemn their cause. NICHOLAS does fight for
his object; he has fought better, too, of late, and
every Englishman likes him all the better for it.
Se also makes immense sacrifices to carry his
point. But Austria, and her still meaner com-
peer for the leadership of the trumpery little Ger-
man States—they, too, have an object. Self-
aggrandisementisasmuch their aim as Russia's; but
not a florin or kreutzer do they part with for it—
not an enemy will they face in battle To lie and
juggle, to juggle and lie, is the only variation hither_
to in the policy of these odious and ignominious
Governments. All possibility of a cordial alliance
between England and such Governments is out of
the question. They will be loathed and detested
while the present generation lasts. We can pity
the bold robber, especially if he comes to his
senses on the scaffold; but the dirty trickster who
defrauds us on the safe side of legal
formalities we loathe, while we still bow to
him, and only wait an opportunity to indulge an
Englishman's solace of telling him what we think
of him. And this is precisely the feeling of all
England, and we believe of Franco too, towards
those Royal caitiffs—Austria and Prussia.
These unworthy Monarchs, rivals for German
ascendancy, but confederates for common despot-
ism, have from the beginning acknowledged the
flagrant
injuatice of Russian proceedings against
Turkey, but doggedly refused to move a soldier
against the enemy of Europe, although next door
to him. They Were
at least afraid of further
Russian aggrandisement, they knew it would re-
duce them to a serfdom more degraded than
their present one, but they have gone on am
proving, in words, the cause of the Allies,
yet shielding Russia. They aspire to be the
Athens and the Sparta of Germany, and
want to have a PHILIP of Macedon at . yet
bandwho
will be their upholder instead of their conquerur.
T ley would like the great setni-barbarian tyrant
to be strong enough to intimidate their oppressed
and cheated subjects, but not strong enough to
r( duce themselves quite to puppets. Hence all
the tergiversation and the unintelligible corres-
pondence among the German Powers.

But surely all this has gone on long enough.
England and France can with decency endure it
no longer. Its last phase is a pretence ou the
Part of Russia of accepting the "four points" as
hthe basis of negotiation with Austria, and, through )
' wesuPPose, with the Allies. Possibly the i
