THE MAILS.

Her Majesty's Government having found it necessary
to employ several of the contract packets belonging to
the Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company, in the convey-
ance of troops to the seat of war, the Company will be
unable to provide vessels for the mails to Brazil, and the
River Plate on the 9th December next, or for those to
the West Indies on the 17th December next. No mails
for Brazil, the River Plate, or the West Indies, will
therefore be made up for despatch on the dates above
mentioned. The Mails for Brazil, and the River Plate,
which should be despatched frem Liverpool on the 24th
inst., will not be forwarded until the Ist proximo,
In consequence of her Majesty's Government re-
quiring the use of several of the British North American
contract packets to convey troops to the seat of war no
British packet can be despatched to America on Satur-
day next, the 25th inst.
The General Screw Steam-Shipping Company having
represented that they are unable, in compliance with
the terms of their contract, to provide a steam-vessel to
convey the mails to Australia in December next, the
Postmaster-General has consented to the transmission of
those mails by the sailing 'vessel James Baines, from
Liverpool ; but, as it is stated that this ship cannot be
despatched before the 9th December, letters for Aus-
tralia will be in time to be sent by the next mail, if
posted or received in London on the evening of the Bth
proximo, or if posted or received in Liverpool on the
morning of the 9th proximo. Those postmasters whose
instructions direct them to forward letters to Liverpool
by cross post, will send in the same manner, on the

Description :
Introduction : —Time of Peace.—The dances and songs 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 blessings
of peace, is wafted through 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 spreads itself abroad—whole nations
arm themselves, and the tranquil inhabitants are aroused from their
peaseful occupations to prepare for the dreadful strife.

wards tirnr distant fatherland, and the prayers for their safety, offered
uP by t'neir friends at home, seem to hover about them. In the still-
ness of the night the bells of the neighbouriug villages mark the hour
of midnight—all is quiet, save the footsteps of the sentinels. The
been ac fires burn brightly, and the fitful breeze of the night agitates
their flames. The advance of the Russians is heard in the distance,
and the alarm is sounded in the camp. A short but fearful 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
all sides, rages with renewed fury. The English, who receive the first
attack, rush forward and charge the enemy with desperate determi-
nation. The French, at a " pas de course," bound forward to join
their allies in the onward movement, and the Turks, who were at tint
astounded, and for a moment reeled under the impetuosity of the
,ttack, now take part in the conflict, and one general and furious
barge of the whole line decides the fortune of the day, and leaves
;he 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 MENSCHIBOFF 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 bettor, too, of late, and
every Englishman likes him all the better for it.
He also makes immense sacrifices to carry his
point. But Austria, and her still meaner oom-
peer for the leadership of the trumpery little Ger-
man States—they, too, have an object. Self-
aggrandisement is as much their aim as Russia's ; but
nee; a florin or kreutzer do they part with for it—
D.ot 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
de frauds 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
at him. And this is precisely the feeling of all
tngland, and we believe of France too, towards
those Royal caitiffs—Austria and Prussia.
These unworthy Monarchs, rivals for German
ascendancy, but confederates for common despot-
'sal, have from the beginning acknowledged the
ilara4t injustice of Russian proceedings against
Turkey, but doggedly refused to move a soldier
against the enemy
to him. of Europe, although next door
They were at least afraid of further
Russian aggrandisenaent, they knew it would re-
duce them to a serfdom more degraded than
their present one, but they have gone on ap-

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