Cambridge, Hamen, and Dundas, being four to four,
must have been overruled By some high consideration

One thing at least is clear The responsibility OF
this fatal expedition lies ON Louis Napoleon. A Bnt
ID writer exclsims: he has utterly destroyed our
" Army and half destroyed his own If he listens to
"ipalerious terms If be paters with Austria, 1t he
" hesitates with Russia, he is irrevecsby lost. En-
glishuen are patent but stung ~itn disgrace, they
" have swept away, like cbaf before the wiad, the

" honorable peace brings back defeated host We
" are no friends to Napoleon; but. though we hate
Ften cb despotism much, hate Russian despotism
" more. In France the Empire wll pass but de-
" mocracy will still remain-Russian Autocracy Is
slavery at home, ard brutal domination
" Enemies then, to Louis Napoleon, we give him the
sovice Of friends. Let him humble Russia, curb
the Cxar-lst him forify the liberties of Europe.

On Sept. IL the army disemb srked
"At the muster of the 18TH 1t was proved that the
Allied forces amounted to SO 600 men, 2s 900 French,
q, 900 English, and 5000 Turks
1--WE invaded Russia as the Normans invaded
8icy, o. Pizsrro invaded Peru, as Fernando Cortez
invaded Mexico. The army felt vague apprehen-
sion, an indescribsble anxiety. Every man was
ready to do bis duty and to sell his life dearly Bat
this s certain, that il the Russian Genef ais had had
more foresight We should not have psssed one night
In the Crimes, and we should have been driven into
the sec without respite and without mercy. The
Rustisn Generals however, have this excuse which,
moreover, they have themselves put for ward-thst It
wss impossible for them to suppose that the Crimes
expedition in the month Of September could ever De-
come an actuality."
We psss over the account given Of the battle Of Al
ma. The celebrated flank march the writer pro-
nounces an error, IS The TRIBUNE hiss always
done tending TO prove still more the words which
AdmBal Hameln had uttered at Alma, eve are
ealing at all hszsrds for adventure" and when
on the goth and 9th Of September the army took 40
lie position on the south OF Sevastopol, 81 the great
fault OF the compaig was contaminated"
The writer does not hesitate to ascrbe the disasters
Of Bslaklava and Inkermaun to the carelessness Of
the English General The following Is his description
Of the former:
Che taken at the frat two redoubts and the
staff General Lord Lucsn, gailoped full speed to
make the EDglish General acquainted with these
detsls. Lord Raglan, without examining the posi-
Russians with tho light cavalry, and bring back

Lord Lucan had the order repeated word for
word, and Joined Lord Cardigan, who occupied the
plain before Tchergoum at the hesd Of his brigade.
An explanation took place between the two1oficers,
which occupied seven or eight minutes; then we
eaw, with stupor mixed with fear, the English
cavalry, as rapid ss lightning rush into the mssses
Of the enemy. They broke through the Russians,

"a cold thrill Of horror went through the ranks Of
the battslions who were witnesses Of this dreadful
scene. We thought that they were going to give
way and march without orders. But the attitude Of
the Generals convinced them quickly that they must
suffer without doing anything, the loss the Russians
had Inflicted upon
Out Of the entire brigade, we saw group Of sev-
