LqNDON, MONDAY, MAY 29, 1854.

It is gratifying to observe that the reiterated
complaints to which we have for a long while past
given utterance in these columns, are at, length
beginning to be repeated by several of the* most
influential of our morning and weekly contempo-
raries,
_Those complaints,; ,we mean, which we
have considered it our duty as patriotic and con-
scientious josirnalliti to reiterate, almost we had
said usque ad nauseam,, in regard-to the delays
which lia:Ve occurred in the conduct of the war
against Russia_ by a hesitating or procrastinating
Qcoverninent. " Heaven knows how the excuses
pat forward in reference to these delays 'have been
spun out and" stretched; to the utmost degree of
diplomatic attenuation. Let it be remem-
bered that first of all, month after mouth
slipped .by when, everybody else recognised the
absolute certainty that an open rupture with the
AUTOCRAT was altogether unavoidable, and Minis-
ters still shut their eyes obstinately against the'
truth__they still obdurately insisted that a satis-
factory compromise might be arranged—they still
perversely babbled " Peace, Peace, when there was
noPeace"—nay, when there was actually and noto-
riously a ferocious and sanguinary struggle going
on, along. the whole line of the Danube,- between
the Muscovites and the Musitxlmans. It was like
some monstrous infatuation. So monstrous, in-
deed, so- utterly inconceivable under ordinary
considerations that it was no wonder at last sinis-
ter rumours began to be whispered about im-
puting little short of treason to the First
I.inister of the Crown, and involving serious in-
uinuations against the integrity of an illustrious
rsonage nearly related to the SOVEREIGN. No
7nder hinti even as dark as these should have
s
Pr gN4Aellgtll out of proceedings so very sus-
picious and bewildering. In so far, in truth,
was the 'polley of the Cabinet incomprehensible
otherwise than ti_ ugh. those deplorable infer-
ences, that it ,eksrd,
the Parliamentary cf.3ly be marvelled at when,
that the alternative of

it, was only then, when further talk about pewl
with Russia had become utterly and absolutely
impossible, that Ministers consented at last to re,
cognise the unavoidable necessity cf war. And
war, consequently, was thereupon declared by the
Allied Governments.
England and France, it was given to the public
to understand, were then at least to be compen-
sated, by a tardy display of vigour, for all the dis-
a.strons delays, which had taken place in conse-
quence of. se many fruitless and reiterated nego-
tiatiotis., Well—then came all the banquets, and
reviews and: halls, and the rest of the dawdlings
contrived by maritime entliusiaim and military
comphstnot?ti,-- by, 'Royal etiquette and Imperial
Inagurgqence, belays at Paris and at London—
at Ma,r_stsll„ and at Southampton—at Gibraltar
and at -Malta----and at last even at Scutari and
GallipOli, in the Bosphorus and in the Darda-
nelles! All the while Turkey fighting to the death,
single-handed, along the banks of the Danube
from Kalafat to Ibraila, from Little Wallachia
to the'Dobrndscha;against the enormous forces
perpetually poured across the Pruth from the
interior of Russia, by order of the CZAR, to swell
