Russians were generally wofsted' driven out OF
Turkey proper and TIE Principaities, unable to

of the Allies in the CIimea, or for throwing
them into the sea during the frs. confuslon I'M
sedistely after the landing. AZ Aims, Prince
Menchikof could not hold his admirable posi-
ton on the hghts against the impetuosity Of toe
diers; and if Lprsnci was wise enough to con-
tent himself with the possession OF the Woron-

down in the same ratio as the prestige OF Russian
diplomacy goes up. We are therefore not At
all astonished to hear that Gen Muravief, who
might have restored the balance of victory IN
Asia, has made the great blunder Of dividing bis

The Queen has returned from France to her
favorite residence at Osborne On the Isle of
Wight. She is very much pleased with Paris;
and strange to cay, even with Napoleon. The
Emperor has succeeded in overcoming the dis
trust and disgust his former life has excited

pared with the angular stiffness Of the English,

like magic wand on the Sovereigns of Europe.
Victor Emanuel Of Sardinia is the next t.
pay visit to his ally at the Tuieries, the Kings
of Bavaria and of Wurtemberg are to follow
him; and courtiers may dream that the days of
the great Napoleon seem to return, when kings
thronged around him and basked in the sunshine
of his luck aud genius.
1t is significant that the affairs of Italy con-
tinue to furnish theme for the leaders of the
French and English ministerial papers. The
object is evident. Austria is to be buled into
an effective alliance with the Western Powers,
and accordingly the question of Italy comes into
the foreground. Comments upon the wisdom
of Victor Emanuel of Sardinia as coutrasted
with the brutality Of the King of Naples, who
tries to initiate his august kinsman the Enpe-
ror of Austria, fill the papers, but as the diff
culties of the Austrian exchequer are regularly
brought into some connection with Italian al
fairs, We cannot fail to discover that all the
Italian synpathies displayed by the ministerial
adherents have but one tendency: to force
Austria into the Western League. AT the same
time Napoleon begins seriously to speak OF
campaign on the Danube in 1856, which, II
Austria goes openly with the Allies, might be
put under the direction of Francis Joseph,
while, in case of neutrality, the Allies
would consult only their o1n convenience. Such
hint, which might mean that Poland disturbs
the temper Of Francis Joseph so much the more
as Baron Bruck, the Finance Minister, fears
he should be unable to extricate Austria from
her financial difficulties unless the good will of
London and Paris is secured to the Cabinet of
Vienna Holland Frankfort and Hamburg are
glutted with Austrian paper. London and Paris
might easily absorb an Austrian lOan but if the
Austrian Cabinet is looked upon with dstrust
