LONDON, Friday, Nov. "a, 1855.
"Things have, since the fall of the south side of
"Sevastopol, been sadly mismanaged," says cor
respondent of The London Times. The successful
storm of the Maakoff shed such luster on the
Allies, in spite of the repulse on the Redan, that
under the fret impression great things might have
been achieved in the Crimea, as well as with the
Courts of Europe. But things have been sadly
mismanaeed. Prince GOrch ,kOf was allowed to
winter another year in the Crmea the dropping
spirit of his troops raised by the personal In
spectiOn of the Car, time was given to the re-
endorsements to arrive and the prestige of the vic
tory faded away The King of Naples who had
yielded to the pressure of events, raised the OBJ
nolious Don OrsziO Mazza to higher rank, in the
teeth of the English ambassador; the Superior
Court of Cologne extended the sentence of the
British Consul, Mr.. Curtis, for aiding aud
abetting the enlistment Of Prussisn subjects into
the British Foreign Legion, from three months to
six months imprisonment, and the Austrian Cen
ersl Cor onn offered STUD led insult to the uniform
of the Queen by arrestiDg Col Turr on neutral
Turkish ground as deserter from the Austrian
army, forgetting that Omer Pashs is likewise q
deserter from the Austrian ranks But even
in England the popularity of Lord PalmerstOn
and the stability Of his Administration seea to be
doubted by the professional politicians. He was
unable to get a man OF political note for
the Ministry of the Colonies formerly coveted as
ole of the great prizes of the Administration, and
even now very valuable on account of the pstron-
age connected with it and as TO the Postmaster
GeDeral-a post becOms vacant by the nomination
of Lord Canning for the GOvernOrship of India-ho
could not find any tried public man to accept it
and the Duke of argyle, who received the appoint
nent will continue to hold his Office of Lord Prvy
Seal, until the first Parliamentary struggle puts
the strength of the parties to the test In fact,
after the coalition Of Gladstone Sir Jas. Graham,
and the Peeli,es with the peace party, the very
dubious behavior of Disraeli, and the Known
friendship of Lord Stanley and Bright, the mon
strous alliance the fusion of PrOtectionsts aud
Free. traders under the banner Of peace at any
price, may succeed greatly to embarrass Lord
PalDerstOn.
The mission of General Csnrobert to Sweden
alarms Austria and she has sent her ambassador,
Count IaDgenare, who on private affairs was ab.
stDt from Stockholm, back to the court of King
Oscar and the Austrian and Prussian statesmen
cannot conceal their apprehensons lest the ,opu-
lar demonstrations which accompany the French
General should force Sweden into the arms of the
Western League. Fully aware of the Russian
leanpgs OF King Oscar, they believe tha should
the pressure from without become irresistible, he
would rather abdicate than declare war against
Russia The Crown Prince is said TO side with
the people and to be eager to reconquer Finland
Still In Europe We we're ltng ago accustomed 20 |
see the Cr0wn-Princes on thu side of the op posi-
ton during the lifetime Of their fathers and it s |
one Of the state Government tricks, which can |
deceive but the gresDherns Yet whatever be the |
intentions of King Oscar and his son Charles, it
cam OF be denied that Sweden has for mo nent |
become Of tbe highest importance in Europe sod |
may by her alliaOce with the West recoDqner her |
l6De-lott European position. The respondent
Of The Times is nguiDe enough to pretend that |
General CSnrobert has already succeeded in bis |
mission, that the terms of a mitar, convention |
have been agreed uoon, that "a army composed of |
French English and SweC es will be sent TO Car. |

be forced to declare themselves.
The English public feels outraged at the conduct |
of Prince George of Mecklenburg who gets an an-
