Dent of the London Times says
Although it maybe dangerous to

Gus to conceal the truth from the Eng

later, that the siege has been for many
days practically suspended, thai 0ur
army is exhausted by the effect Of the
excessive labor and watching to which
it has been so necessarily exposed. The
Russians know this well enough. Tho
relaxation of our FIRE is self-evident but
our army, though weakned by sickness,
is still equal to holding its position, and
to inhictchastisement on assailants who
may renture to attack. Nothing would

formers, with their vspid speeches, without
practical resalt; the Pesee party and their inn
practicable theories; and the 60 called isdspcnd-
eft members, with their sDobbish 6unteyism-
have shaken the faith Of the nation IN Paris-

in spec cbes and debates, and criminstion, and

Sividuslly or in their collegiate OPACITY; bat
for Ed gland nobody has cared. They have f'1zbt
for the triumph Of party or Of an abstract prin-
eple rot for the elevation of the sinking pres

been most terrible blow for TIE reputation Of
England.
Only three measures Of any importance have
been carried this year. The abolition OF the
Newspaper Stamp, which in the long run must
democratize and repu,licsnize public opinion; the
Limited Liability Bill, which cannot but add
new stimulus to commercial enterprises; and the
Metropolis Government Bill the first step toward
giving political life and some sort OF selfgovern
nent to the two millions of Englishmen living in
London outside the City. AL the other bills Of
the Government have been lost by sheer misman-
asement and want Of earDestness on the part Of
the Ministers.
The visit Of the Queen TO Paris again affords to
the English press opportunity to degrade
itself by fulsome praise Of the Emperor. The
Daay Ners speaks even of the personal esteem,
which the talents Of Napoleon must have excited
in the Queen!
The news from Kars is satisfactory. The
town is well provided with supplies, the garri
son enthusiastic the officers good, and no Tork-
i.h Pssba mars the efficiency of the army By "a
pacity or distrust Of the refugee commanders
The Government of Portugal is likely to join
the Western League and sell Contingent of
5000 or G, O00 men for pecuniary consideration
in the shape Of a guaranteed loan.
The reports about the harvest are less bril-
liant than hitherto. The rains of the last fort
night have done immense harm to the wheat crop,
and developed the potato disease in Prussia and
Northern Germany. The Principalities are more
fortunate, and Wsllachian corn mill soon fnd its
way to the English market.
Brigandsge is on the increase around Athens,
where King Otho is trying to get rid OF the
Ministry forced upon him by the Western Pow
ers. and TO surround himself with men Of the
Russian party. Bozzsris is likely to supersede
