LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1856.

What would we not all give for a peep into two
mysteries--the interior of Russia and that of our
Cabinet ? The second mystery is just now the
more important one. If we knew the state of
our antagonist's resources to be the most calami-
tous conceivable, we have been already pledged
by our Cabinet to a certain extent ; and such is
the native honour of JOHN BULL that it would
be hard to persuade him to take undue advantage
after he had agreed to fundamental terms. He
would "abide by his bargain." Tell 11F, how-
ever, what our own Cabinet is really driving at,
and we might let them know our mind to some
purpose. If appearances do not deceive us, the
final terms of the present peace depend on the atti,-
tade of the Engli,qh pe,.9ple. We will give our
reasons.

We shall assume, what the most recent appear-
ances indicate, that Russia begins to feel she must
make peace ; be it, which we think most probable,
that she is in a most deplorable social and mili-
tary condition, or that the more independent airs
of some little German subordinates begin to toll
upon her—or that she fears an irresistible coali-
tion and our immense preparations in the spring
—be it any or all of these reasons, it does seem
that she would like to get off now ; plainly fore-
seeing very different terms as the ultimatum of
another winter. In that case the English people
are the only power which can turn the miserable
Vienna m,inirwu m, to the best advantage. The French
people, and we own it freely, are not so earnest
on the terms of peace as we are.• England is
practical, France chivalrous and impulsive. The
latter is satisfied with military glory, and her
troops have gained it for her already ; we, on the
other hand, want a solid result also. France is, we
doubt not, therefore ready to make
easier terms than we are, now peace on much
that Russia con-
fesses to defeat, and that her arms have had the
most brilliant share in its infliction. We cannot,
therefore, number France amongst the forces
which would assert the utmost against Russia in
a Peace Conference. Her Emperor is so c
pletely the Emperor of the people that he must,
whatever his personal views, aim to carry out
theirs ; but we do not know that there is any rea-
son to think the Monarch's sentiments and those of
his people materially differ. On the other hand
both France and the EMPEROR of France are so
heartily and honourably in alliance with us that
they would, as we believe, fight for ten years
loner rather than concede to Russia a peace dis-
tasteful to us. They have fought side by side
with us in the fiel l, and the enemy will not find
them divided from us in the Council Chamber.
Hence, ao far as France is concerned, much de-
pends upon what we, her ally, are earnest in
desiring.

Of course Hot a single potentate of Germany,
from a ten-acre Mike to the magnates of Berlin
and Vienna, want the best terms from Russia ;
they want them for her. To the lazy, selish, and
cowardly Teutons, however, and the despots under
whom they smoke and drink in quiet, the will of
the English people is no trifle. They will urge
much higher terms on Russia if they think
England will not put ul► with lower ones. They
would like to have peace again at any price. They i
