FIELD MARSHAL
LORD RAGLAN.

One word for emigrant soldiers. Tl2ey are
among the very best we can have ; only let them
be emigrants from oppression, and not from star-
vation merely. The life-blood of America is in-
herited from its Puritan forefathers—from the
men who had conscience enough to seek religious
liberty, and manhood enough to seek civil liberty,
at any cost. The men who groaned or died under
the tyranny of our TUDORS and STUARTS, or who
preferred the forest and the Indian to it, these
are the meu who have made A.raerica what she is
—the men who had souls as well as muscles, and
who therefore preferred voluntary banishment to
political slavery. Even all our present colo-
nies which manifest any British vigour, Canada
for instance, are composed of the class
of emigrants who have found the means to wrest
I
1 Colonial liberty from the reluctant Lords of
Downing-street.
Yet it has been the miserable course with certain
journals of this country to have the sneer editorial
ever ready for the noble-hearted but unfortunate
political emigrant. Now and then, perhaps,
affecting tenderly and condescendingly to speak of
them as refugees, their very pity being contrived
to brand them with imbecility, rather than to
exhibit the wrongs of magnanimous, though un-
successful, patriotism. As honest Englishmen we
have long marked the language of certain writers
respecting these noble people, with regret for
their own sake, and with indignation for the
misrepresentation of our country in the eyes of
all the better spirits of Europe. The real senti-
ments of Englishmen are but little known
abroad, and it is to be feared that we are
suspected of loving Russian and Austrian
" order" better than the freedom for which
the subjugated and oppressed territories cannot
cease to pant. It has, indeed, been roundly said
on the Continent that the English love freedom
for themselves, but slavery for other nations.
Let the despised exiles of despotism, and the suf-
ferers beneath it, too, fully understand that Lord
DUDLEY STUART'S sentiments, as Mr. COBDEN tes-
tified in the House of Commons, are the senti-
ments of the great mass of Englishmen. The
difference between the English people and certain
journals which affect to speak their opinions can-
Hid be more accurately described than in the
well-known line Victrix causa deis placuit ; sed
victa Catoni. In other words, the order estab-
lished by bloody, relentless tyrants—being con-
querors, pleases the Jupiters of the press, but
the noble minds who vainly have struggled to
burst the tyrant's yoke are the hearty favourites
of sturdy JOHN BULL.
Give us, then, a legion of emigrants, but not
of emigrants wandering from home merely for the
reasons which induce the very animals themselves
to migrate. What have such men to do with
fighting against oppression ? They would enlist,
if, indeed, they can be got, not from courage—.
not even from the love of adventure—but merely
to be clothed and fed. What could be expected
of troops so minded amid the discomforts of
Balaklava and Sebastopol ? No, let us send the
enlisting sergeant to every land where there are
haters of Russia and Russian antagonism to Euro-
pean liberty. Let us begin with the Polish prisoners
and emigrants in our own country, in France, and
in every place where they can be found. Let
us publish to every Pole, Hungarian, and Italian,
that whoever is the friend of liberty and the
enemy of its arch-enemy, ,he is the man for us. 1
That we want his services ; that they will aid in
the final emancipation of Europe; that he will
be welcomed not as a mercenary, but as an
ho.nourablo and hearty coadjutor. Let every
actual exile, and every one whose heart is in the
cause which has banished his countrymen, be

Dec. 30, 10 o'clock a.m.
His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day
received a Despatch, of which the following is a
copy, addressed to his Grace by Field-Marshal the
Lord Raglan, G.C.B.

Before Sebastopol, Dec. 12.
My Lord Duke,—Your Grace will be happy to
hear that the weather has continued fine, since I
had the honour to address your Grace on the Bth
instant.

The enemyhas made no movement of importance,
and nothing of any material sionsequence has taken
place before Sebastopol.
The Russians moved upon our advanced pickets,
in front of our left attack, the night before last, in
some force ; but they were instantly driven back
by a detachment of the Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade,
on the right, and by one of the 46th on the left.
The firing, however, was kept up fer some time,
and the 3d and 4th Divisions were held in readiness
to support, in case their assistance should have
been required.
I inclose the return of casualties to the 10th
instant.—l have, (to., RAGLAN.

boldly invited to join the Allied standards. The
conflict now waging is not one for the mercenary.
Soldiers of that stamp are ♦ery well for the ser-
vice of ambition and the rewards of conquest, but
their hireling presence is a profanation of the
battle for liberty. We know the technicalities
which some, and even Mr. MILNER GIBSON,
allege against enlistment in other countries ;' but
if ever a war was mismanaged by deference to
antiquated technicalities, it is the present one.
From the commander to the drummer boy privation,
disease, and death have been the sacrifices offered
to technicality. We must be cursed with it no
longer. We are face to face with stern realities ;
and the punctilios of feather-bed times cannot be
thought of in the tempest. When CROMWELL de-
termined that the Parliamentary side should con-
quer, his first step was to get rid of all the worth-
less mercenaries by which it was encumbered, and
to organise his immortal regiment of Ironsides ; a
regiment of men whose souls were in the cause.
Naseby was the result. Give us a legion of men
eager to fight the first great battle of Euro-
pean liberty, where it must now be fought—in
the Crimea—and the result is certain. Sebas-
topol will be to NICHOLAS another Naseby.
We repeat that this is no time for military or
diplomatic pedantry. The Ministry which wants
the moral courage to use freedom's friends to fight
freedom's battles, is not the Ministry to retrieve
the disasters which routinism has inflicted on our
troops. Some mercy may be shown to their ap-
prentice mistakes and timidity, but it cannot be
extended further. As they are bound to rise to
the mechanical and engineering standard of the
present time, so they are bound to rise to the
moral principles of free Europe, to renounce the
hireling, and to fight her battle with men whose
hearts are loyal to her cause. If this can be done
with the good-will of Austria and Prussia, well ;
if not, do it in spite of them. As to the former,
Spielberg, "damned to eternal infamy," can fill nisb,
we suppose, at once half a regiment of patriots in
fetters there for their love of liberty. Venice,
whore arrests have been numbered by the hun.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Last night M. Jullien commenced another " month "
at this theatre. The great success that attended the
efforts of the maestro at Drury-Lane bids fair to be out-
rivalled here, judging from the crowded state of the
theatre last evening. The arrangements which have
been mace by M. Jullien betoken considerable activity
in preparing for the new campaign. The "Pantomime
Quadrille," especially contrived for the holiday boys
and girls, was the novelty of the evening. It was
more ludicrous than important, as may be imagined.
It consisted of "Hot Codlings," and other tunes of
the same comic family, served up in various odd and
whimsical ways, the great feat being a reading of " Pop
goes the weasel," by Herr Kcenig, on the penny trumpet,
the tiny sounds of which produced peals of laughter.
The other matters may be dismissed with a general
compliment to the delicacy and finish with which they
are rendered.

OSIEN-SACREN IN COMMAND. —A. well-informed writer,
in a letter dated from Berlin, Dec. 27, says :—" We
shall see whether General Osten- Sacken will make a
better hand of the command than his predecessor.
Certainly General Dannenberg did not spare his
own person. The official report says that he had
two horses killed under him, and all those around
him were either killed or wounded.' General
Osten-Sacken's arrival must, however, be looked upon
as an advantage to the Allied Army in case of another
battle. His humane conduct to the captives of the
Tiger shows that he is not a man to countenance the
brutal outrages palliated, if 'not eno3uraged, by Prince
Menschikoff."

selves a free choice, and that they rill not accept of any

SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE AT SELBY.— A very
melancholy catastrophe happened a t Selby on Christmas-
day. A keel, coal laden, belong leg to Mr. William
Broadhead, of York, and who w in on board with his
wife (near her accoucheinent) and three children, was
sunk owing to the strong wind blow ring. The vessel was
running before the wind, up wha t is called the Long
Reach, when she became unmana ;cable and in a very
short time she went down. Captait t Broadhead and his
men tried all they could to rescue t hi family, but with-
out avail ; Mrs. Broadhead and her three children being
at the time in the cabin, and were dtfowned. When our
correspondent wrote the bodies had slot been recovered,
although every exertion was used to ado so. A few years
ago Mr. Broadhead's brother lost his wife and some
children within a mile of the same place by a similar
misfortune.—Eastern Counties Heralti .

thern portion of the North Eastern tailway, which it
will be recollected fell in on a passenge T train in Septean-

months the traffic between Leeds and the north has had
to be carried on via York, at great inct 3nvenience to tra-

SUPPOSED MURDER AND SUICIDE.---:. PRESTCN, Friday.
—An inquest was held yesterday i n this town oh the
body of Phoebe Rose, a single we en an, 18 years old,
who had been missing since the 1 34,h inst., and who
was found in the canal on Thursda r. Deceased was a

13th inst. she left home with her infra, tin her arms, and
neither of them was afterwards seen a live. Last Mon-
day the body of the child was disco, ered in the same

days before her disappearance, throe gh the closing of
the factory, and had then no moans of support. She

Austria no harm in the Crimea, and admirably
'would they match with our troops, since their only
clime has been that of aspiring to those institutions
uadar which every Englishman was born. Why
not propose to our new and noble Ally to open
her infernal prisons and spare us her political

piisoners for a regiment ? We do not know
wiether they would not make two. English

bEef and fresh air would soon restore their ema-

ciated limbs aid pallid faces ; and most willing
would our recruiting serjeant find them to ex-

change the patriot's dungeon of Austria for Eng-
lish service against the man who enabled Austria
to throw them into a felon's prison.

THE CRIMEA.

The following telegraphic despatches were re-
ceived in Paris last night :
MARSEILLES, DEC. 28.
The packet from Trebisond has arrived at Con-
stantinople bringing news of the 18th.
At that date the Russian army was marching
on Erzeroum and Redoubt-Kale; an attack against
the Circassians had been vigorously repulsed with
the assistance of a body of Turks, commanded by
English officers.

The army of Asia, notwithstanding this suc-
cess, is insufficient in strength, and has demanded

reinforcements.

The Sultan is about to send commissioners to re-

organise the army, and they will be accompanied
by English and French officers.

The Egyptian troops at Constantinople are
about to leave for the Crimea. During the last
month 14,000 men have left to reinforce the
Allies in the Crimea.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 18.

It is in contemplation to form a body of
French and English police to prevent any distur-
bance during the continual movement of troops
in this capital.

The reinforcements of the Allies are concen.

trating near Eupatoria, where a camp of operations

is being formed.
The troops of Omer Paella will be directed to-
wards Perekop.

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 20.

It is confidently asserted that the resolution has
been adopted to storm Sebastopol as soon as the

Turkish reinforcements come up. The French,
it is said, are to storm, whilst the British and
Turks attack Menschikoff.

There is a report that Omer Pacha has written
to the Sultan, making it a condition of his ac-
cepting the command, that he shall have two
votes in the Couwil of War, in order to prevent
his being outvoted by Lord. Raglan and General
Canrober t.

VIENNA, DEC. 28.

A despatch from Warsaw announces that the

Russian naval artillerymen. taken out of the Baltic
fleet had arrived at Sebast:opol, and that to their

presence is due the recent precision of the fire
from Sebastopol, as well as the new-found bold-

mess of the fleet.

It is stated that the Raassians are advancing in

force to the Pruth.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
RIECEPTION OF THE CORPS LEGISLATIF
AT THE TUILERIES.
Yesterday evening, at; nine o'clock, Count de
Atorny, the President of the Legislative Corps,
awl the members of the 'bureau of that body, pro-
ceeded to the Tuileries with the bill relative to
th.e loan of 500 millions, which had been voted in
the course of the day's sitting. The whole of the
deputies accompanied -Chose gentlemen, and all
w ere assembled in the ga.4llory of Diana, when the
Fimperor, followed by the great officers of his
Lmusehold, and by his Xinisters, entered. Count
do Morny then, presented the bill to his Majesty,
sand spoke as follows
Sire,—l have the honour of presenting to your
Majesty the bill cencerninz the loan, which the Legis-
lativo Corps has this day voted unanimously. The
whole of the deputies have accompanied the menibers
of the bureau, in order to give, in the eyes of France
and of Europe, a striking toe timony of their devotedness
to your person, and of the rinlireited cooperation which
they are decided to afford you. They have also desired
that their President should place in your hands the ex-
pres.sion of their sentiments for the English army and
fleet, and their illustrious commanders, as well as the
expntssion of their solicitude and admiration for our own
valiant land and sea forces."
T he Emperor replied as follows :
" The Legislative Corps has already given me so
mao.,,r proofs of its patriotism, that I cannot feel
astor,ishment at the readiness with which it has voted
the bill which is to insure to me the means of prose-
cuting the war with vigour. I thank you for the senti-
ments which you have just expressed to me through
your President ; and I will direct my Minister of
Fore.ign Affairs to transmit to the Government of the
Quee n of England the testimony of sympathy and grati-
tude of the Legislative Corps towards the English army
and ;Beet, and their noble commanders. France, with
the loyal and energetic co-operation of her allies, can
await. without disquietude the issue of the war in which
she ill engaged ; and relying on her valiant forces by sea
and by laud will know how to uphold the rank which
is due to her in Europe."
These, words were received with the liveliest enthu-
siasm., and were followed by cries of " Vive l'Em-
pereu rl" The deputies afterwards proceeded to
the di jawing-room of the Empress, and were per-
mitted to present their respects to her Majesty.
The following is the report drawn up by Count
de Mc irny, in the name of the committee charged
to exa mine the bill on the loan
" Ge ntlernen, your committee, in accordance with the
sentiments which you had manifested, assembled imme-
diately Tt charges me unanimously to propose to you
the adi.sption of the bill which accords to the Govern-
ment the authorisation to contract a loan of 500 mil-
lions, •rvhilst leaving an entire liberty as to the manner
of effetsting the loan. Your committee is anxious that
the en emies of France shall be well aware that the
Emperor will find every heart determined to support
him, and that the representatives of the country, the
faithful interpreters of its sentiments, are ready to
vote all the men and all the money that may be de-
manded. from them, and will not recoil from any sacri-
fice. This war has been undertaken without any desire
of conquest, •r any feeling of personal ambition on
the part of the Head of the State ; the permanent in-
terests 'af France, and all the traditions of her policy
impese on her the duty of protecting a weak state against
an unjulst aggression. The Emperor has made the most
sincere effirti to reconcile that duty with the maintenance
of peace. Russia only responded to him by a blind
obstinacy ; but thanks to the wisdom of our Sovereign
and to his loyal, disinterested, and generous policy,
France, who a short time back was alarming Europe
by revolutions, has beheld the holy alliance of former
times succeeded by another alliance, infinitely more holy
because more just, against Russia. The loan which is
proposed to you has appeared to your committee the
most lep:itimate mode of meeting the expenses of the
war. It will turn to useful account the savings and
capital that can be disposed of ; and the funds, em-
ployed by the State, will soon again return to general
circulation and reconstitute the capital of the country.
If the amount of this loan is higher than that of last
year, the circumstances in which it is to be contracted
appear to us more favourable. Men's minds were
then less familiarised with the idea of war. At
present, according to the just expression of the Em-
peror, if it causes each heart to throb, it does not
alarm men's interests. At that period, the adhesion of
Germany to the policy of the Western Powers was
doubt fel; at present it is a certainty. We are convinced
that t his lean will be subscribed to with even more
eagerness and just confidence than the first one. The
dentin ation of this loan will he besides the most power-
ful inqucement to the subscription, for the important
point at issue is to urge on this great war with all the
vigotar of which France is capable—with all the vigour
wllich 'is required for eventual success. Likewise the
sufferings of our valiant army in the East must be re.
lievall; and the Emperor be permitted to continue the
careful attentions with which hie provident solicitude has
enveloped our soldiers. The English Parliament, which
assem bled before us, has had
it the advantage of antiei-
patinv us in the expression of sympathies for our
land :‘nd sea forces. Your committee
with urea,t satisfaction the unanimous desire of your
burea ux to respond to that friendly demonstration, and
to ad, tress to the English army and fleet and their conareanders the warm thanks of the Legislative
Corps, and its sssurance of the most,
y admiration
for a e invincible courage of which they h -
so
ma, or proofs. As to our own valiant soldaievres giwvheao
share I,heir dangers and their glory, they havtehen:eritedd
well of their country. France is proud of
happy to behold thus cementing an alliance which is
becom log the most precious guarantee of civilisation,
and th a most certain pledge of a lasting peace."
Th© Moniteur announcest that on account of the
death of H.R.H. the Princess Caroline-Fredericka
Wilholmina of Ifease: sister of the Elector of Hesse,
the Court has gone into mourning for three days—
namely the 29th, 30th, and 31st. The Minister of Marine has addressed a circular
to the Maritime Prefects and other eminent func-
tionaries of his department, stating that he has
