1/)tiDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1857.

According to the Times the War proclaimed
against Persia by England, on the Ist of Novem-
ber, 1856, involves the possibility of the ultimate
conquest and annexation of that ancient dominion
to the vast Asiatic Empire already established
by British valour in Hindostan. According to
the Edinburgh, on the contrary, that same war
has been declared not even for the purposes of
weakening, but simply for that of a wholesome
intimidation. Now, each of these two extra-
ordinary announcements we look upon as nothing
less than monstrously extravagant. At the same
time, we must protest, at once, that we
would prefer to abide by the former rather than
by the latter—we would rather regard
the Declaration of War against Persia
as involving the necessity of additional conquests
in the East than as indicative of that effete and
.miserable mockery of a policy of which the late
Crimean struggle against Russia may be taken as
a type or representative. It wiil be remembered
only too bitterly by the majority of our fellow-
countrymen how the very soul seemed to be
taken out of the Cause of the Allies almost from
the outset of that memorable contest with the
legions of the AUTOCRAT by the formal assurance
made to the world by several of our leading
statesmen that England and France meditated no
diminution of the realms of the Cult—meditated
no aggrandisement of their own territories—medi-
tated carrying on the war against the great northern
despotism upon certain high-flown and ultra-chi-
valrous principles, which, in point of fact, were
in themselves utterly and monstrously preposter-
ous. Upon those Arcadian 'principles the late
war was declared. Upon those principles it was
conducted. Upon those principles it was brought,
after the lapse of two disastrous years, to a boot-
less, and a fruitless, and, we cannot but still
think, a most ignominious conclusion. It is
most earnestly to be hoped, therefore, we conceive,
particularly with the miserable experiences of
the late war so recently before us—that we are
not again plunging into another imperial contest
upon a policy thus avowedly irrational. it is
nothing less, we maintain, than the height of folly
to announce to the foe at the very opening of the
first campaign that we don't intend to do him
any permanent injury ! Yet this is literally what
we did with regard to the Russian A.T7TOCE,A.T.
And this, moreover, is pi eeisely what the
Edinburgh tells Us we are now doing with
reference to the Shah of Persia ! Rather than
this, we say--let the War proclaimed on the Ist
of November, at Calcutta, be
to be what the Times has
called placing matters " in a traineforx
thel)i
caocnint qleyun etaesvrt opr
iJesde
annexation of that ancient dominion !" Better
anything than the wilful and deliberate stultify-
ing from the very outset of all our -vast and
costly, and most difficult warlike operations:
Altogether, in truth, we cannot but regard the
view taken of this Persian War by the Whig
re-
viewer, who examines into the problem of its
origin, in the recently published number of the
Edinburgh, as most speeiou4, and, therefore, moat
