war with the United States. The article OF The
London Pines, which We copied last week, and
the burden Of which was fllibusttr invasion of
ireland from this side Of the ocean, has been
followed up by two others in the same journal,
which We now transfer to our columns. the text
of these disquisitiOns is found in Mr Caleb Cush-
iue's instructions TO bis official subordr ates con.
cerping the enforcement of the neutrality Laws.
Starting from this text, and including in the &C
count the other causes Of difference between the
two governments The Times makes out, il
not an immediate casuS 6clH, at least a
ground of quarrel Of sufficient importance
to have alarmed all England. Not only The Times
but very respectable journals out Of London,
propagate this curious delusiOn while all sorts Of
rumors are thrown in to hghten the excitement
as, for instance, that Mr.. Buchanan had actually
broken off diplomatic relations and demanded his
passports The alarm, however, seems to be
rather noisy than real since it had no effect on
the stock market. For the rest, so absurd and
groundless an agitation must presently come to an
end. Whether The London Times can gain any
thing by making such disturbance about nothing
is question we do not undertake to settle.
Journalism would rather seem to be degraded than
elevated by such course.
From the Crimea we have a. last the details of
the expedition to Odessa snd Kinbum. They add
nothing of straegica or tactical interest to what
we have had occasion to observe before with
regard to that expedition. The rapid destruction
of the desenses of Knburn is accounted for by

sonry on the outside and filled up within with sand
only. The twO-feet thick riyetment WAS of course
speedily battered down, and the loose sand rolled
down as soon as the wall had ceased to hold it
together
Another resultless expedition was undertaken
from Eupatoria toward Sympheropol The French
and Sardinians have retreated from their advanced
posi- ions, AMI again occupy the Chernaya. Ac-
corditg to dispatch from Gorchakof, however,
they have again appeared on the upper Belbek
Whether the Allies will be in position. even If
willing, to attempt any thing serious against tn
Russians in this quarter depends so much on the
weather that all speculation on this score is use
less. 1t is certain that they have lost seven
eight valuable weeks in forming plans and counting
the cannon balls found in SevastOpOl. GOrchakof,
armed with Discretionary powers from the En-
peror, declares he will hold tie Crmea at all haz-
ards, but we orgly suspect this to be feint
The preparations for war still continue, but
along with them rumors of peace extend quietly
more and more over Europe If any belief is to
be attached to the statement, the powers of the
second order especially 10 Germany, and the King
of Belgium likewise, are among the busiest pa:if-
Gators How far these rumors are credible it is
ficult to say, but their repetition shows that on
both sides the belligerents are tired of the war.
Paris and Louis Bonaparte are visited by special
and extraordinary ENJOYS, whose visits at this
stage of affairs seem of peculiar character. NJ.
Won der Pfordten, president of the Bsvarian csbi.
net; NJ. de Beust, premier Of Saxony, were re-
ceiyed at the Tuileries along with Gen de Wittisen,
the ancient mediator between his master, the
King of Prussia, and Louis Bonaparte-and they
were there not merely to pay courteous visit.
The two first were the principal movers and work
ers of the opposition Of the German States to the
active alliance of Austria with the West-the
more astonishing, then, their actual presence in
Paris. At any rate, however, should it come in
reality to negotiations, the difficulties appear still
greater than previous to the fall Of Sesastopol.
We cannot imagine what concessions the Russian
Emperor could make after the partial defeat of
bis armies. He cannot now recede or yield with
out endangering his popularity with the nation,
excited TO the utmost. Not on account Of the war,
but BY his signing dishonorable peace would he
run the risk Of q revolution in the palace and in
the squares and streets Of st. Petersburg, and of
an indignant rising against him of the whole ma
ton thus we sre almost sure that he is far from
thinking of concessions, and his acts show it. 4
new recruitment of ten in the thousand is decreed
1t is also rumored that Alexander intends to spend
a great part Of ire winter in Warsaw, which is
nearer TO the theater Of war and lastly that in
the Spring he is 10 lead the army in personal
sny rate noble and manly decision, for now as Of
old soyereigns as well as their subjects should per-
sonally face death.
Should there be any truth in the preparations
for peace, which we accept hesitatingly, az any
rate it is not Vienna that is likely to become their
center The conference will meet in some other
spot; or what is more probable, the powers wdl
try to avoid publicity, and the noisy, boisserous
interference of public opinion with the negota'
tions. Most probably the affair will be carried on
BY unknown secret medistors aud whoever such
may be, the negotiations viii be covered by an
impenetrable veil of silence and mystery, aud only
when the affairs are brought to their 6nAlty will
the doers be thrown open, the public admitted,
and some city chosen for the meeting Of the diplo-
mate, giving thus legal. formal conservation to
things secretly predetermined In whatever way
tSey tobe conducted, open or occult, peace is
