The EDgiish papers are calling the war shan-a
hnnbug; en0uncing treacbery, and accusing British
ministers of preventing their admirals from at
lacking Cronstadt and >ebastopol. The ministerial
Journals begin to hint tnat the season is advancing,
and that nothing can be dsne before next year, and
then we are to "see what we shau see.' The expect
alton that some decisive blow vas about to be struck
has vanished. 1t was stated that the Russians hay
ing retreafed across the Danube, and the Turks
being more than match for them, the Anglo
French army would be en- gagged in the Crimea. But
this tui ns out to he not true. That army is said
now to have joined the Turks on the Danube; but
this is doubtful. The Russians have sho wed fight
again, and have been defeated by the Turks, unas-
sisted by their allies. In Asia the Russians have
defeated the Turks with great slaughter In Eng
land, troops are, with rest parade aud seeming
hustle, packed off To the East. In France, troops
are with the parade and hustle sent Of to the
Baltic in English sh 8. LIus Napoleon harangued
the troops befo they left the shores OF France and
remin5 ed them Of AusIerltz Eylau, and other bat
ties in days gone b.. These troops, it is
reported. will be Joined by 10000 Swedes.
1t is said that nothing can be done in the
Baltic until the arrival of ganboats and SOL
diers. of course this could net be foreseen by the
sagacious and earnest English ministers. Napier is
described in the ministerial papers as pacing up

the deck with sou'wester on his head, like Gagged
lion. Such Is the stuff now written to appcAse Eng
lishmen. Dundas is busy writing home letters to
his political and eiectiopeeing fiends. The ewspa-
per correspondence tn the seat Of war is filed with
the pal ticulars how Prince Napoleon was offended
because the Sultan did not nod his aead to him, and
how the wife of ST. ArDand was introduced to
the Sultan; how lieutenant -, Of the - regi-
ment, broke his leg, and how Sergeant soand SO vas
In the meantime in Eng,and the national revenue
is decreasing ana war prices are pinching the peo-
pie. The double income tax ia cursed. The poorer
gentry are focking ~ the Channel islands and
to remote hooks and corners Of the land, where an
absence OF taxes or q wait OF locomotive fsci-
ties make provisions q little cheaper than In the
heart Of the country. Disturbances are expected
In the winter among tae ab0ring classes. Bank
ruptcy is more than Usually prevalent. Trade is
unusually dull, and tndesme5, who have been aping
the gentry In their mode OF dressing and living feel

which absorbs their incomes, every one has got re-

These has been sor. OF ministerial crisis. There
is great dissatisfaction N Tie country and in Parlia
uent about tho War Minister. In consequence Of
the III suc ess Of the war measures, there is dspO
sition 70 try Palmerston In it. His activity aud
mischief would 10 is believed, lead to some striking
results The opposition who Of course do no, lose
chance Of damaging the ministry, say that Sidney
Herbert who was Secretary Of War, should be the
rev Minister Of War, and not the Duke Of Newcas
tie, who was the Setsetary for the Colonies
In fact, the perb.ites, the discontented wings
AID the disgusted radicals sire trying to create a
schisn, in the cabinet, by working upon the ambi-
ton and disappointment q old Palmerston and
sidney Herbert. Blu. inc ministry, it appears have
met with so many defeats that they cannot afford to
meet with another, and 80 Lord John Russell, as
leader &C the liberals in the House of Commons,
called his party together aud threatened them that
ifthe new dispute about the war minister caused
the ministers to be defeated last Monday, he limited
at resignation or dissolution. The liberal party in
the House of Commons have been very uniuly lately.
They have thought nothing Of defeating the minis
ters by their supneness or votes, and, therefore,
Lord John puts tight rein on them. The threat
OF dissolution will be Quite sufficient, for the pre-
sent House Of Commons Is most corrupt one.
Still the ministry Is held IN most profound contempt
by both friends and foes, and next week Lord John
viii be compelled to ofer to try the question Of
n want Of confidence on D money vote for carrying
on the war generally.
The revolution In Spain Is not yet over. The
Spanish government telegraph, like that of Vienna
s the very devil for y'ng and when it stated that
the nsarrcction was qnelled, il false. Spain is
evidently in the .hroes OF convulsion. The gene.

will have Cuba. She viii either pay CT fight for it,
but lave it she viii. SO think the thinking men in
England. bM.
The United States have done decd which has
made England ashamed. She has caused to be
brought to England the quickest mail from Aus
tralia ever known. The West India mail steamer
Magdaiena arrived at Southampton on Monday last
with an Australian mail landed at Panama from the
American steamer the Golden Age. This ste amer
has proved the Pacific and Panama route as the
best for Australia, and she has performed q feat
which will interest the vsrld, for she has sho wn
that paddle wheel steamers can navigate the great
oceans aud 90 round the world. The Golden Age
brought from Australia Ia rrobe, the late Governor
Of victona, and Haigrayes, the discoverer OF gold

There are reports that the Anglo. French army
