The correspondent Of the London Times pre-
sents a most appalling picture Of tie drunken-
ness ofIhe English army, particularly on Sundays.
Unde. date of Oct. 22d, the writer says:
Yesterday was Sunday; rode into BalaklaTa
At one P. VI through Kadikni Major, and retnrn-
ed towards dusk. through Kuffikot MintiE. The
sights saw, both in going and returning, were
enough 10 make an EugliShnan despair oil his
cOmntEymen. All along the road weEe men, mol
only privateS. but MN commissioned officers, in
every stage of drunkenness. SObIiety was really
the exception, irtox,cntinn the rule. The drunk
enness onl INSTRUMENTATION Of this army is here
matter OF common conversation and lament. The
Oldest officers declare, that in all theit experience
theynty.r saw. anything To equal it. II may he
asked why then, do not the officers, having 50
keen sense of the evil. take immediate measures
TO put stop 10 it2 Simply because it is not in
their power"
In reference 10 the intentions Of the Russians, 1t
is OF course, quite impossible tc do more than give
| a Shrewd guess. But GOrtsrhakof'S oder ut tie
day dated Oct. 10th, part Of which is published
in the Paris Constitutional. in which the General
announces that Il e Emperor has invested him with
IN powers to cease continue the defence OF tie
Russian position in the Crimea according to cir
cumstances, there IS this very significant passage
something which certainly opens TO The army the
possibility that they may be compelled tn retreat
| from the Crimea. The cOmmamIer-in chlet says:
ave will never voluntarily abandon this couN-
try where ST. Vladimir received the water OF grace
after his conversion TO Christianity; but there are
conditions that sometimes render the frmeSt reSe
lutlonS impractcable, and the greatest sacrifices
useless. The Emperor has designed to leave me
sole Judge of the moment when we ought 10 change
our line of defence. II it should be the will OF
God we should do so, il is for us to prove that
know how TO justify the boundless confidence ol
the Czar, who has arrived in our vicinity to pro-
vide for the defence of the conntTy, and the wants
| of his army"

WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES
The L,verpnol Times, in an editorial in relation
10 the foolish rumorS of war with the United
States, says:
a. war with America can form no part OF the
BnnaparliSt policy of France, and if the Bourbon
isl schemes which were defeated al The commence
ment Of The war in the East are seeking through
this country vent in the States, let us hope that

Times
Thrre are two cases respecting which Gu own

which, regret 10 say, have each arrived at

The chief details OF tie above mentioned cases

of great respectnhlily, had been resident for ID
years in the Island of Cuba. and was established
Mt Santiago lie Cuba, where he carried on an tx,
tensive commerce. About two years since he
ordered by the authorities 10 leave the Island,
and proceeded to England 10 lay his case before
his own government. 1t is said, though no proofs
whatever have been brought forward 10 back the
report, that he was suspected by the Spanish au-
hurties Of being implicated in political utrigues.

contrary, that he has never inter(ered or had any
thing 10 10 with politics at all, aud that his ow
