LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1854.

Additional troops are being despatched to the
Black Sea to aid those already under Lord RAGLAN
and Marshal ST. ARNAUD, to assist OMER PASHA.
in his operations on the Danube, and to co-operate
with the combined fleets under Admirals DUNDAS
and, HAMELIN in their probably speedy descent
upon that part of the coast of the Crimea guarded
by the stupendous fortifications of Sebastopol.
As yet, however, no military force has taken its
departure from our shores for those of the Baltic and
of the Gulf of Finland. Much less, therefore, are we
thinking of sending out supplementary soldiers to
aid the operations undertaken in those northern
waters by the war-vessels under Admiral NAPIER,
or those adventured upon by the French ships of
the line, under Admiral PARSEVAL-DESCHENES.
More troops to the Black Sea—to facilitate the
capture of the Crimea and the storming of Sebas-
topol t

Rene whatever to the Baltic, to assist in the
attack upon Cronstadt and the snbsequentadvancs
of the British and French armaments to the Rus-
sian capital of Si. Petersburg !
How is this ? Why this preference for the
Euxine over the Baltic? Why this lavish squan-
dering of military aid oar DUNDAS and HAMELIN,
and this niggardly reluctance to afford any assist-
ance at all in the way of "''''-operative land forces
to NAPIER and DescHENEs ? Why ? We have
explained why more than once already ; but the
reason is sufficiently peculiar and important to
merit yet further repetition. It is simply
this— because, when the hardest blow that
can possibly be stricken against the Russian
Empire in the vicinity of the Black Sea
may have been stricken —we shall then be,
- comparatively speaking, almost as far as ever from
having brought the struggle to a position necessi-
tating a decisive settlement and a conclusive paci-
fication ! It is because any blow evidencing
similar determination and energy stricken against
the same Russian Empire in the Baltic, must lead
the conquerors in the event of success directly to
the metropolis of Russia, to the Palace of the

repeat, accusations which could not be shown to
have the slightest foundation beyond that of the
malignant slanders of those whom he chooses to

of an united kingdom, and who owe allegiance to
