• In the "Review" we predicted that no full and precise explanation
would be attempted, and the result has proved the accuracy of the
prediction: instead of an open and direct answer in print, 'the pro-
jector has forwarded written statements to individuals complaining
of oar "incessant" attacks upon his book, but omitting to state that
the staple of each of these consists of an exposure of stale, old re-
printed blunders, each time a different catalogue from that appa-

THE REINFORCEMENTS.

--- •
. ,
The steam trans Port-ship Robert Lowe sailed on Sa-
turday evening from Portsmouth, with stores, the
cylinders filled with gunpowder, ecc. (13 in number),
which are to be employed in blowing up the sunken
ships at Sebastopol, and the following troops, besides
about .4,000,000 Minie rifle balls :-
4th Regiment-1 officer, 2 serjeants, 100 men.
28th 13,egiment-1 officer, 3 serjeants, 150 men,
Rifles-2 officers, 2 serjertuts, 100 men.
Soots Fusilier Guards-2 officers.
38th Regiment-3 serjeants, 160 men.
44th Regiment-2 officers, 3 serjeants, 150 men.
MediCal-1 officer.

. NO. 3 Company of the Bth battalion of Royal Artillery,
eoturnanded by Captain Traverg, was under orders to
leave Plymouth Citadel by the 4 o'clock train yesterday
(Sunday), evening for Woolwich. No. 6 company, 13th
battalion, statigned at Devonport, will shortly leave for
Ireland. No. 3 company, 13th battalion, commanded
by Capt. Englefield, will then be tho only Artillery
coinpiny at Plymouth: •

The /Zoyal mail steam-ship Tnanar Captain R. Revett,
left Southampton On` :Titurday morning for Gibraltar,
with the 66th Regiment of Infantry (750 strong), and
the 4th company of the Gth battalion of Artillery. The
former is to be landed at Gibraltar, to oczupy the garri-
son there, to relieve portions of the 17th and 80th
Regiments, ordered to the Crimea, and which will take
passage by the Tamar, while the Artillery will proceed
direct to Balaklava after touching at Gibraltar. The
Artillery consists 'of -1,10 men and four officers. The
Tarnar will, probably•reaCh Gibraltar in four or five days ;
one day will suffice for landing the 66th Regiment, and
for-the emVareation of the lather troops, and the run
.thence to the Crimek*ast*ably etsMapy from eight to
ten days: The Tamar has on board a number of can-
vas tents, valises, tent poles, packsaddles, spades and
shovels, bales of blankets, and other military stores. A.
large number of persons assembled in the docks to wit-
ness the departure of these troops, and heartily cheered
them during their—niarch fronik,the railway to the docks
on Friday morning. The Penineular and Oriental
Company's steamship Nubia Captain Harris, sailed
from Southampton on Saturday afternoon for Toulon,
there to take on beard 1,200 French troops for
the Crimea. The West India Mail Company's steam-
ship Magdalena, 2750 tons and 800-horse power, due
at Southampton on the Ist of December for the West
Indies, has been chartered by the Government for
the transport service, and is to be got ready for sea
without delay immediately on her arrival. The steamer
Iberia, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental' Cora-
pony, leaving Southampton this day with the Peninsular
mails, is to take out a detachment of artillery for Gibral-
tar. The screw steamer's Norman and John Bowes have
been taken up by the Government for the conveyance of
stores from Southainpton to the Black Sea. About
2,000 tons have to be despatched from that port, most
of which will consist of frames and other fittings of the
wooden houses intended for the winter quarters of the
British army in the Crimea.

The Niagara took her departure from Liverpool on
Saturday afternoon for Gibraltar, with the 64th Itegi-
naent;and a detachment of Artillery, under Capt. Camp-
bell, on board.

For the future all troops for foreign service that can
conveniently do so are to embark from Portsmouth, as
the facilities of that port for the embarkation of large
bodies of troops are pronounced much superior to those
of any of the commercial ports.

AUSTRIAN PERFIDY.

(From the Times.)

, •
We do not envy the Emperor of Austria, if he
bear in his breast a single spark of that manly and
resolute spirit for which the world has been willing
to give him credit, when he read the despatches
which describe the ebb and flow of the obstinate
and sanguinary Battle of Inkerman. State
policy is not to be influenced by merely sentimen-
tal considerations, else one might well imagine
that the descendant of a line founded by a .riero
which has ever known how to draw the 'sword
when danger menaced could not read without
burning shame the tale of the struggle waged
against such fearful odds for a cause the righteous-
ness of which he has emphatically asserted, in which
ho above all men is deeply interested, and which
he above all men is bound by every feeling of
honour, consistency, and self-respect to support.
" Why lie I here, like a bed-ridden monk," said
Ivanhoe, " while the game on which depends my
life and death is played out bythe hands of others?'
The game on which hangs Austria's political exist-
ence is being played oqt by England and Franco
before Sebastopol, and Anstria stands at the case-

Major Cole, 17th depot, has returned from leave of
absence to make arragements for forming his draught of
200 men, to join the 17th Regiment, for service in the
Crimea. Captain Colthurst has also returned from leave
of absence. The draught expects to leave Kilkenny next
week, and to sail from Cork ora the Ist of December in
the Clyde steamer. A large number of volunteers from
other regiments have arrived in Kilkenny to join the
17th depot for service in the East.

. .
meat, like Rebecca, the Jewess, behind her shield,
a trembling and impotent spectstress of a drama
in which she seems resolved to have no part except
tne catastrophe. Is it nothing to Austria that the
conflict now going on should be decided in favour
of either of the combatants, to each of whom she
secretly lends support, and each of whom she has
mortally offended ? We do not pretend to overlook
or misunderstand the policy on which Austrian
statesmen profess to act. They avow the policy of
selfishness, but they forget that selfishness is isola-
tion, and that Austria cannot afford to be isolated.
It is thought a masterstroke of policyto have occunied
the Danubian Principalities with the consent of one
party, and without incurring the immediate hostility
of the other, and thus, as it is said, to have secured
to Austria the Fr:ze about which the East and
West are contending. It is thought to have been
a master stroke of policy to allow the other three
great Powers to wear each other out by an exter-
minating conflict, and thus, as the result of every
battle and every campaign, to make Austria rela-
tively, if not absolutely, stronger ; and, finally,
when the weary belligerents shall make peace, to
secure for Austria so great a preponderance in the
councils of Europe as to enable her to take to her-
self what portion she pleases of the spoils of war.
'To enjoy during war all the advantages of peace,
and to gain on the return of peace all the ad vantages
of successful war—what policy can be more subtle,
more far-sighted, or more profound ?
We have not, we think, understated the case
which may be made in favour of that double policy
in pursuit of which Austria made public prof( siion
of her sympathy with the Allied Powers after their
first victory, and then prevented a diversion in
their favour which might, have enabled them to
reap that victory's fruits. Russia will not forget
nor forgive the congratulations on the Alma, nor
England and France the policy which has concen-
trated on their armies the forces which, but for
Austria, would have been occupied in a hopeless
campaign among the pestilential swamps of the
Danube or the deadly marshes of the Dobrudscha.
One condition of the success of the gam© which
Austria is playing is, that at the close of the
present contest neither of the belligerents should
be in a condition to give effect to their dis-
pleasure. Let Austria weigh well her own posi-
tion, as compared with that of those great Powers
whom she has thus mortally offended. It has
been the tradition of European policy to main-
tain the Austrian empire, first as a bulwark against
the Turks, and next as a defence against Russia.
Austria has been the spoilt child of European
diplomacy, the favourite of conferences and con-
gresses—an empire made up of dowries, appanages,
and donations. Hence she is composed of the
most heterogenous elements of races, held together
by the merest vis inertice, each kept down by the
rest, and performing in its turn this duty to its
neighbours—each more strongly attracted to some
foreign State than to that of which it is a reluctant
federate. Hungary leans to Russia, Italy to
France, and the Slavonian provinces own but
slight sympathy and give but doubtful allegiance
to their German masters. Such are the constituent
parts of Austria, while England, France, and
Russia, though differing widely in everything else,
agree at least in this—that they are nations pos-
sessed of national feeling and spirit, with a popu-
lation speaking the same language, organised under
the same institutions—that they form, in faCt, each
a complete whole, which nobody dreams of being
able to disintegrate ; while Austria can hardly
keep down the centrifugal force which is driving
every province to fly off from the rest. For such a
country firm allies are absolutely needed, and firm
allies can only be secured by a policy of honest and
energetic consistency. Austria greatly deceives
herself if she thinks that the consideration she has
received is a tribute to her strength. In the in-
terests of peace and order, in a spirit of forbearance
and conciliation, England and France have ab-
stained from raising questions to the solution of
which Austria can hardly remain indifferent. How
long will this state of things last, and when it ter-
minates what resistance can Austria, disjointed and
disorganised, offer to a serious attack, or where is
she to seek for an ally ? Let the storm come from
what quarter it will, Austria will be sound isolated
without and divided within. Who would stir in
defence of a Power which has betrayed every one
in turn, and which seems to have been placed be-
tween the belligerents expressly to compensate
with a province or two the loser for his losses ?
The frontier of Austria towards Russia is' a mere
geographical line, and, should it ever be the
will of the Czar to celebrate a Te Lemont iu the
Church of St. Stephen, lie will find Western.
Europe and Northern Germany attentive and not
unedified auditors, and Italy and Hungary lending
their voices to the chorus. Nor is this the only
danger. Two previous visits have made the French
eagles perfectly well acquainted with the road to
Vienna, whether it be sought by Austerlitz or by
Eckmuhl. These things were done while Austria
had Russia for au ally. Have they become impos-
sible now ? Hew many sparks from a French cor-
poral's pipe would it require to set Italy in a blaze
from one end to the other, and what prospect would
there be of a reconquest of Lombardy, with France
and • England instead of the small kingdom of
Piedmont to conduct the war t When Austria
measures herself against the great Power', she
must not forget that wherever her enemies appear
they may count on the support of her own sub-
jects. She is in the most imminent danger of be-
coming a second Poland, and affording, by her
dismemberment, an indemnification for that war
which she fondly thinks is being carried on for her
exclusive advantage.
We have no wish for this consummation. We
have no other than a sentimental interest in making
Venice a free port, and thus blighting in the bud
the fortunes of Trieste. But we have an enormous
interest in the success of our present operations.
Give us time, and we can place any number of man
required in face of the Russians ; but for the mo-
ment our armies are oppressed by superior num-
bers, while Austria sits complacently by with five
hundred thousand men at her disposal, and
watches our efforts and our sufferings with cold and
callous indifference. This it- is allowed her to do
now ; but let her be assured that the opportunity
is great and fleeting, and that if she allows us to
struggle alone through our present difficulties she
will have united the vanquished and victorious in
one thought—the desire of vengeance on a Power
so specious, so timid, and so perfidious.

Considerable excitement prevails among the military
in Plymouth garrison owing to the number of volunteers
offering from the West Somerset Militia. Recruiting
sergeants are on duty from the 13th, 20th, 34th. 40th,
and 46th Regiments, and from the Plymouth division of
Royal Marines. The last is the favourite, but as their
standard is .5 feet 64- inches, while that of the 40th and
other regiments is only 5 feet 41 inches, the numbers
entering are restricted. However, the "Jollies" have
obtained about 100, the 40th 80 men, and the 13th AO ;
the others have not been very successful. 13 of the South
Devon Militia stationed at Davenport went to the Ma-
rines' head-quarters on Saturday, and a considerable
number are expected there after parade to-day (Monday).
The stature of the South Devon Militia is, on an average,
less than the West Somerset. The depot of the 34th
Regiment in Plymouth citadel amounts now to about
400 men. During the last week volunteers have joined
from several 'regiments,lViz.,:OroiVtbe sth Fusiliers 7,
22d Regiment 5, 24th 4,'27th 3,53 d 2, 76th 8, 96th 7,
and 83d 5. The regiment has lately left Corfu for the
Crimea and the draught of the depot to follow the head-
quarters will consist of a major, four subalterns, a doc-
tor, three sergeants, and 120 rank and file.

Great enthusiasm prevails among the militia in gar-
rison at Portsmouth to volunteer for service in the field,
and upwards of 100 have gore into the marines alone
since the circular appeared.

OUR CAVALRY REINFORCEMENTS.
We understand that Lord George Paget (whose light
cavalry exploits on tho 25th of October will nnt soon
be forgotten) is on his way home to superintend the
preparations for cavalry reinforcements. In no better
hands cenld they be, but we aro sorry that the army
in the Crimea should lose his services oven for a short
time. What can by have to do, however, in that penin-
sula for some months I The Duke of Newcastle may
be able to answer the question.

(From the Morning Herald.)
" The taking of Sebastopol is new a question of
secondary importance ! !"
"If the siege be not given up, it is at least at a stand-
still."
Such were the announcements with which the Minis-,
terial organ must have astounded its readers in the course
and at the close of last week, if the readers of the groat
imposters which performs in this country the part of the
Mormoaite leader in America, and shows that human
nature in all countries is capable if any amount of delu-
sion, could be astounded at anything with which the great
Joe 'Smith of Printing-house-square chooses to adorn his
columns.
If the ;boy* statements be correct—and mach we fear
they are perfectly so—what do they mean ? They mean
this, that 20,000 English troops—the best and bravest
soldiers that de, or ever did, exist upon the face of the
earth—have been sacrificed fir nothing.
The landing at Eupatoria, the battle of the Alma, the
march to Earaklava, the three weeks' bombardment and
unceasing cannonade, the work in tho trenches, the suf-
fering, the exposure, the decimation of the army—what
were they all far ? If not for the taking,of Sebastopol they
were for nothing ; and now it appears that the siege is at
a stand-still, and, above all, that it has become a matter
of "secondary importance." It is too true—second, in-
deed, to the necessity of saving front destruction the rem-
nant of our noble fellow-countrymen.
Englishmen are ready to make any sacrifices to secure
them anything but the right thing—money, troops, any-
thing will they vote—but they will not take the trouble
of seeing that their wishes are carried out ; and they per-
sist in leaving the army in the hands of the very men who
first sent them to the Crimea as a clap-trap for separating
Parliament—and then sacrificed and deserted them.
" Let bygones be bygones," says the organ, as a fitting
corollary to the above ominous sentences. Such were the
words of Lord Fitzfillima in the Upper atm() nearly

year ago, and now. repeated by the limo. • Against
this, when first uttered, we protested. His lordship
owes a heavy debt to the country ' • for the adoption of his
ill-assorted adage—contrary to all common sense as it was
—has cost us another year of, postponements, and—an
,English army. If Lord Fitzwilliam be the man we hope
he is,. he must reverse his policy., But. England herself
has no feeling for her sons, or she would not let them run
the risk of being betrayed a second time by the same men.
In this case well may. Englishmen be addressed in the
words of the Roman Tribune to the populace of that de-
graded city :
" Ye blocks, ye stones, ye worse than senseless things,
Oh ! ye hard hearts, ye cruel men of Rome."

- What, wo ask, will be the feeling in the hearts of our
poor fellows p,t Sebastopol when they learn that their fate
is still entrusted to the hands of Newcastle and Aberdeen 9
It can be no other than this, that England has deserted
them, and that they have nothing left to do but to sell
their lives as dearly as they may.
" Let bygones be bygones."
What is this but the expedient of the desperate gambler
who insists Kinn being. permitted to redeem his luck by
being allowed to " play double or quits ?"
The loser cannot he worse off, for he has lost everything,
and he may reverse his desperate pesitiou at the expense
of his adversary. This is the case in ordinary life.
But if the people of England have any sense of feeling or
humanity left they should consider, that in the present
instance every additional cast of the dice which they con-
cede to the reckless gamesters.of the Coalition is granted
at the expense of the life-blood of their brothers and sons.
Go out into the world and hear the conversation of men
of all nations collected in this hug. metropolis. " Your
Ministry have sacrificed your army to petty questions and
crotchets of finance," said in our hearing an acute Ameri-
can. " You will have peace in the spring if you do not
take Sebastopol," is the statement of an astute • Greek ;
" but if you do you must prepare for a war of years." This
may require a little explanation. .The Greek's view is
this :—Oar Ministry look -to making•peace during the
winter, and by means of , the intervention of Austria. 'lf
the'English army is compelled to raise the siege of Sebas-
topol the Czar will consider it as a set-off for-his defeat
before Silistria; but if it be taken he will listen to no
terms, for he will be doubly a beaten man. The taking of
Sebastopol would render a patched-up peace impossible.
Let our readers draw their own conclusions, and remem-
ber our words, in conjunction with the discovery that the
taking of Sebastopol has become a mere " secondary con-
sideration." _ _

vVe 'IA intended concluding these remarks by a few
observations on the reinforcements now requisite for the
East, but our attention has been caught by some state-
ments which must not remain an hour without an
answer. There is a weekly journal, conducted with high
talent, which does not think it unworthy of its reputation
to take a rather devious course with reference to the war;
it professes extreme candour, and blames the Ministry
loudly, and often justly, when the Coalition is in no danger ;
but let the sea be rough and the frail barque be threatened
with destruction, sod then it rushes to their assistance,
and no efforts are spared to save the vessel and its freight.
We need hardly name the Examiner. In the present
desperate circumstances of the Coalition the Examiner
makes two extraordinary assertions in its leading article
of Saturday—namely, first, that no one knew the strength
of Sebastopol, therefore it' was impossible to estimate the
force required for its reduction; and, secondly that no
one could anticipate the Czar would send his Bessarabian
armies to defend it.

Let us for the moment suppose the first assertion to be
true—Englishmen will appreciate the gratitude duo to an
Administration which sends 30,000 of their best and brav-
est to make "a leap in the dark," in order to close the
session with a clap-trap—but let this pass. We shall
prove, however, in a very few words, that both assertions
are utterly untrue—the lefloistry might have been ignorant,
but it was because they were wilfully so—the information
lay on the high road, if they had chosen to pick it up.
On the 12th of June we wrote as follows—speaking of
the probability that Austria might occupy the Principali-
ties : _ _

" The moment the Czar retires-from the provinces, the
proposed attack upon Sebastopol will become impossible—
for he can at once send to the Crimea a force—thus ren-
dered disposable—so powerful as to render the attempt all
but an act of insanity. A high military authority has
asserted that even under present Circumstances (that is,
supposing there were no relieving force in the field) a
siege from the land side would require an army of 70,000
men, and an expenditure of 15,000 lives."
Is this distinct enough to prove to the Examiner that
if the Ministry were ignorant they must have been so wil.
fuaf ? We will give them further proofs, merelyobserving
that the above statements were repeated in every shape
they could be written by us for more than three months
isefore the sailing of the expedition.
We shall now quote a private letter, which has been.
placed at our disposal by a friend, written by one of the
best officers at present in the Crimea, and dated the day
but one after the battle of Inkerman

"We look anxiously for reinforcements, both English
and French. You may remember I said more than a year
ago, we ought to have 120,000 men to take Sebastopol, and
that 100,000 was the least figure I considered safe for the
operation. I fancy most are of my mind now."—Camp,
Sebastopol, Nov. 7.
If the Ministry did not know that an army of 120,000
soldiers was required for the operation, we say that nothing
more is required to prove their utter incapacity.
Lot us now bring against the Coalition a witness which
even they cannot gainsay. They may assert that they
never read our warnings, but they cannot plead the same
with regard to the Tines, whose correspondent writes from
Vienna, as we remarked at the time, a letter which "con-
veniently arrived three days after the prorogation of Par-
liament." "The Russians have informed the Government
that they shall cross the Prath in five places, aid march
at once into the interior, instead of remaining on the fron-
tiers. The meaning of this is that the troops will be di-
rected at once against the Allies in the Crimea !"—Times
correspondence.
.Et to Brute. We suspect the Exvitiner has had enough.

THE PROPOSED NEW GOVERNMENT

OFFICES.

Amongst the most recently suggested schemes of im-
provement, we must mention the designs which were
submitted a few days ago to Sir Wm. Molesworth (in his
capacity of Chief Commissioner of Works), for the erec-
tion of an extensive pile of buildings for Government
offices at Downing-street. The design is by Mr. John
Tarring. architect, and contemplates the j-emoval of the
buildings between tke Horse Guards and Great George-
street, Westminster, as far as Charles-street. It is also
proposed to remove tie block of houses between King-
street and Parliament-street, although net absolutely ne-
cessary, to open the thoroughfare and improve the appear-
ance of the new buildings. Dever liouse, which is
situated between the Horse Guards and the buildings
occupied by the Board of Trade and Council-office, it is
suggested should also be removed, in order to form a
public entrance into St. James's-park, instead of a pas-
sage through the Horse Guards as at present : this would
have the effect of giving a good view from the park of
the Banqueting-house, Whitehall. The block of build-
ings now occupied by the Council-office and Beard of
Trade, as refaced by Sir Charles Barry, would remain,
and is taken as the basis of the new design; it wou'd
form one wing of the facade towards Whitehall : a
similar wing would extend from about Fludyer-s, rent
to Charles-street, the intermediate space between be
inn filled up with a grand centre of considerable
height, end a lofty arched entrance. The whole
frontage would be about seven huedred feet. On the north
side facing the Horse Guards, and the south side facing
Charles-street, the buildings would be carried down at
right angles into the park, to a distance of 400 feet, and
,have in each front a centre and arched entrance. The
front in the park looking westwards, would be similar to
the front in Whitehall, and the whole would form an
oblong pile of building, 700 feet by 400 feet, with four
façades. The interior would be divided into three
squares by two rows of buildings running parallel with
the north and south sides ; the centre of these squares
would be the largest, and there would be an archway in
the middle of the north and south sides of it, in a line
with the archways in the flanks of the buildings. The
cost has been estimated at nearly 700,0001. and to meet
the financial difficulties started by Sir William Moles-
worth, the parties who submitted the plans, offered to
carry them oat, and present the buildings to the Go-
vernment, on condition of receiving 32,0001., per annum
for fifty years. It is stated that the Government are
now paying nearly 20,080/. a year for rent and repairs
of disconnected and inconvenient buildings. We shall
probably give our readers an opportunity to judge of
the effect of the proposed pile. Without reference to
the character of the buildings, we must say that the
proposal to bring together the various Government
*Sees, and to make the whole an architectural adorn-
ment of the metropolis, has our full concurrence. It is
evident front
is the statement of Sir William, tiat some-
thing about to be done in this direction, and it is of
the utmost importance that it should be looked at in a
comprehensive spirit.—The Builder.
