LONDON, Friday, Jan. &c 1855.
The English army 10 wasting away through the
inconpeteDey of Lord Raglan; and Louis Napo-
leon seems Likewise to be dissatisfied with Canro-
bert's generalsbip. Gen. Peliser, the daring and
relentless African comm ander, has been sent for,
and the frat division of the army is to be placed
under bis orders, while Gen. Bosquet 10 to lead
the second In the field, Canrobert, with the title
of Commander. in Chief, remaining still before
Sevastopol; Gen. Mel is sent to him as Chief of
the Engineering Staff. In fact Caurobert has
failed to supply sufficient glory, and is displaced
as gently as possible. The English Government
has not even the pluck to do so much, AMI to
save the wretched remnants OF the army by Civ
ing them better commander. The reason is
obvious: Lord Raglan is Somerset, and belongs
to the highest MiitOcracy.
DrOuyn dc rHuys seems to have taken lessons
from Lord Palmerston in bullying. Prussia is to
be deprived Of her rank as one Of the FIVE great
powers of Europe, and to be excluded from any
further participant in the negotiations of peace,
negotiated without her, putting, besides, her
army on the war footing OF course, all this Is
empty buster. Prussia will not be excluded
from the negotiations, in spite of Drouyn de
PTIuys's sharp dispatches and notes. Still the
matter looks serious at the present moment, as
Austria, unable to make stand against the Car,
in case she should declare war, sppeals now to
the Germanc Confederation, to the Die. Of Frank
fort, to take active measures for her defense,
since Prussia has refused the mobilization Of
100000 men for that purpose. There is no doubt
that this appeal threatens Germany with division.
Prussia, SsxoDy, Wdrtemberg, the Mecklenbury,
Oldenburg and Denmark (for Schleswig- fislstein)

Baden, Bavaria, Hanover Brunswick, the Hes

lar links to Austria or England; one half Of the
German thirty tyrants may, therefore, side with
Austria, the other half with Prussia. The re-
suit, for the first moment is complete neutrsliza-
ton of the forces Of Germany in which Austria
nigh. find new pre!e1t for maintaining her neu-
trality and for seeking to arrange peace at any
pIice. But stould such peace no! be obtain
able by March, then the moment Of decision
must arrive, and war may at once extend from
one end of Europe to the other.
The disasters of the English army 10 the Cri-
mea have made deep impression on the Cont
nent. Englsnds reputation as practical and we'll
administered country has faded, and France has
become the frat power of Western Europe. The
Times Of yesterday contained one Of the most re-
markable articles ever publi,Aed-a sweeping
denureistion not only Of the present Ministers,
bu, of the present system. 1--WE wipe our hands
of the war under the existing management"
the powerful organ thunders forth; "if Govern
"ment, if the House Of Commons or the British
people choose to cell themselves to the aristoc-
"r,ey, and through the aristOeraey to the" enc

.,eh a violent preamble The Times only recon-
uends the reconstruction Of the Ministry Of War.
Still. the accusations boldly directed agsins. the
sristocracy cannot fail to have most important
result perhaps not for the next future-though
even this may be questoned-but surely for the
next ten years. The aristocracy is breaking
down, and the middle classes, with their model
representatives, Golden and Bright, have not
won golden opinions. We stand on the eve Of
great changes, not only in Continental Europe bu!
likewise in England. No Ministerial crisis can
couture the brewing storm and the efete arkto-
cratic parties, the Wings and the Tories, win be
swept away without distinction BY the first sl'-
Of the hurricane.
