THE STATE OF EUROPE.

Eameutsry debste on the want Of success with
NE Vienna Conferences has not tended to raise
ne character of the present House either for
yatriotmm or real ststesmsnship. All the lead
srs of the different parties and factions proved
beyond the slightest doubt that they are most
accomplished politicians, always ready to seize
Spon the weak points Of their political ADVERSE
Sies, and surprising one another in sudden
attacks, in clever replies, and ia canningly
framed amendments, in order to get party
triumph. But neither Lord Palmerston nor
Disraeli, not even Golden aud Bright, were able
to rise above party politics-nOt one of them
took broad and comprehensive view oil the
present crisis, and Mr.. Lowe allowed himself to
be cheated out Of his speech by the forms of
the House. Still the nation finds the occasion
TOO serious for a mere prize fight, in which
PaImerston may be exhibited as over-seach-
ing his antagonists, and is utterly cisgusted with
the system. The tfeschery of the Peeltes,
who BY their own testimony are now con-
victsd Of having mismanaged the first cam
paign out Of Difference for the Gar, has
destroyed them as q political party; they
had to join the Peace party which by the access
sion of so many talents has gained in material
strength, but not in moral weight. The next
recruit of Messrs. Bright aud Golden comes
probably from the camp of the Tories-I mean
Lord Stanley, who begos to emancpate himself
from his fathers politics, and personally likes
the conversation of Bright far better than the
twadde of the efIete political adherents Of the
EaIl Of Derby.
The brilliant success OF Sir Edmund Lyons in
the Sea of Azoff gives great uneasiness to the
friends of Admiral Dundas, who pretend it was
in consequence of Sir James Graham's private
letters, containing the order not to attack
Kertch, that the Admiral remained passive all
the while he commanded the feet in the Black
Sea-
The English public begins at last to perceive
that the great statesmen Of the West have all
been bumbugged by Francis Joseph The Vi
emma correspondent of The Tines acknowledges
that "the greater part of the diplomatic world
"bas for the last IL or Is months been led by the
"nose. Few persons who have carefully watched
sthe progress Of events during the last few months
"ean fail to entertain some suspicion that per-
seet understanding preraiis betoeen the Courts Of
+" Rsssia. Austria and Prussia, even though the
Governments Oftwo of those countries still seem
"to be playing at cross purposes" After the
failure of tn Conferences, Francis Joseph thinks
he has done enough for the Allies and while still
keeping the Prncipalities occupied by his troops
he resolves to reduce his army Of observa-
tion in Gallicia by 100000 men. It's losses by
diseases during the winter amounted to 1900
men; one cavalry regiment, the Nicholas Hus-
sars, was reduced to l50 men, while it numbered
924 when entering Gallicis. The Russian Guards
which until now stayed in Poland, hasten all
to the south, the reduction of the Austrian army
releases them; and the Car may concentrate his
best troops against the Allies without fear of
FrancsJoseph. The friendsh P of Austria proved
destructive to Turkey England and France, adj
vantsgeous only to Russia.
Since Canrobert's dismissal and Pelisser's
accession to the Command-in- Chief the Allies
continue to be successful. Sir +. Lyons has
lately visited Tagsnrog at the mouth of the Don,
Marianpel and Gheisk or Yesk, and destroyed
the stores of the Russians. TaganrOg was
founded by Car Peter l. in l706, Marianpol by
Empress Catharine in 1888, Yesk by Nicolas
in l64s. All these towns have good harbors,
second only to Berdiansk, which has likewise
been destroyed by the Allied fleets. They were
regarded as the principal corn markets of South
eastern Russia. Pelissier is not less successful.
The Mamelon was taken by assault; above sew
enty.three cannon and five hundred prisoners,
among them twenty officers, were captured, and
the Allies are now enabled to begin the real
siege of the southern portion of SevastspOl All
the offensive outworks erected by the Russians
since the 18th of October have been destroyed
or stormea by the Allies, who at last are OPP
posed to the original defenses of the southern
fortress. The capture Of Sevastopol begins to
become probable; all the advantages OF superior
Numbers, thorough discipline, plentiful supplies
and easy communication are on the side of the
Allies; aud we may now state without fear of
being wrong that the conquest of the Crimea
may be accomplished before the month of Sep
fember. 1t is far more difficult to say what
may result from such a success. Thus much at
least is certain-that the Russians will not sue
for peace, and that the destruction of Seyastopol
cannot lead to speedy arrangement Of the ORR
entail question.
The importance of the capture of Kertch and
Of the stOppage of the supplies from the Sea of
Axof begins seriously to be felt by the Russians.
They had to evacuate the important fortress of
Anspa on the Circassian coast which kept the
mountaineers in submission. The Notifications
were blown up by the garrison, the csnnons
spiked and the place, Immediately after the de-
