BY the highest parliamentary authority in Eng
land, he has been emphatlcslly declared not to be
minister Of England, and yet, says every Frsnchman
with one voice, this man forsskes the cabinet at
moment when, forgetting ancient feuds, France has
become her ally In order 70 resist to the death the
arrogance and assumption Of these Same Powers.
The consequence is, that remarks are made which
fall harshly on the English ear-such as that the
English faith b too convenient-go0d only for the
existing ministerial arrangement, and liable to be
principles are perpstualy made subservient to CON-
mercial expedency-that grandilloquent, in express

France is not without its personal jsalousies 1t re-

There seems little doubt that France heartily de-

That otilla, consisting Of six frgates, three cor

protection Of thick fog by eighteen Russian ships,
consisting of three deckers two deckers rgates and

the Tartars than the imperial flag Of Russia, is an
event that has produced sensation here which has
excited more lively sympathy in the cause of the
Turks than if they had gained o dozen battles. It
is certainly asked why under the circumstances in
which they were attacked did they lnordesert their
ships having run them into the harbor and so save
their crews? It must have been evident that they
were surprised and overmatched by an overwhelm.

at appears that during his cruise, Vice. Admiral
Nachemon had discovered the Turkish squadron, but
had been prevented from coming near them by heavy
weather. When the sea bad moderated, the Russian
admiral followed in the direction it had steered and
discovered it in the roadead Of Sinope where it had
taken refuge under the land batteries. The action
Immediately commenced by the Russian admiral
placing his vessel between the batteries and large
Turkish frigate, built for the Ottoman government
in the United States. 1t was between this frigate
and the Russian Vice-Admrals ship that the combat
first began, but did not become general till after the
destruction Of the frgate. The frigate made vgor.
GUS resistance but at the second broadside Of the Rus
sian line battle ship, she blew up and some of her
lighted timbers falling in the town, set fire to several
houses. The Russians then directed Their fire against
the batteries, which were soon slenced. The action
had in the meantime commenced between the
other ships, and the fire was very warm. Five
Turkish vessels blew up after . vigorous re-
siatance, and the others sunk. The Turks would not

on board the frigate, with his leg shattered, and
there was scarcely time to remove him and convey
him on beard one OF the Russian vessels before she
remained three days at Sinope. The town had been
abandoned by the Turks, and the Russians only
found it occupied by Greeks and Armenians.

announcing that Prinse Beboutof had completely
beaten the Turks at Ughasti, and taken from them

quantity of warke stores Abai Pacha after this
defeat retired on Vaes."
1t is even reported that Kalsfat has been taken
by surprise, and 10000 Turks slaughtered, but
ever, the effect Of the disastrous intelligence thus
falling IN in such rapid succession is beginning to
produce visible elect on the public mind OF Paris.
The government papers begin to speak Of the pro-
liability, under such adverse circumstances Of the
Sultan's acceptance of an armstice but there is q
feeling Of such intense indignation swelling up tn 1t
serious consequences may arise, unless it be alayed
by intelligence that position more worthy Of q
nation like France is speedily taken up. The Cos.
sacks of Russia have left an indelibe mark ON the
French memory, and 1t is even said that Napoleon,
alive TO this is not sorry that, by apparent tardi
ness on his part, the public mind should seem to
force him into position which from the com npnce-
ment, he has been only too DESTROYS of occupying.

gion-which Of course will be transmitted 10 you by
this mal-in which it appears, by the statement OF
General Andronkof, the Russian commander at Akal-

the fire on both sides lasted several hours, and
that not till he bad recourse to assault could
