uatter OF making Perekop as strong at least
- Sebastopol was. Previous to the late action,
the combined feet could work their will in the
Black sea and the sea Of Azof, and they can
do no more now. The elite of the Russian
troops were on their way to the Crimea, when
that action occurred, and are probably now
near ct hand to support the garrison holding
out on the north side of the devoted city.
The Allies admit q loss of 10000 men in the
prolonged action. If they lose as many in
the assault on the remaining defences they
will be in poor plight, indeed, to encounter in
the field the fresh troops that Alexander is
sending against them.
We do not see how it can be possible that
Peiekop can be taken In less than q year;
when they will really have gained possession
of the Crimea at q cost if taken at all, it seems
to US, Of quite as many men, and as much
money as have been expended by them up to
this time. In the meanwhile, there can be no
more equality between the English and French
in the conduct Of the war; the great battle
having been gained almost wholly by the lat.
ter, the former being almost useless Allies to
them, their inferiority becoming so marked
hourly, as that it is the subject of the derision
Of the civilized world. The French, too, are
now masters Of Constantinople, to prevent
which, as the result of French alliance with
Turkey, England went into the war. The
prospect for termination of the alliance thus
rapidly increases, the chance being strongly
in favor of a rupture between France and
England within the year. We really do not
perceive that the Allies are at this moment
any nearer their object, practically, than
when they first set down before Sebastopol.
Nous rerrons.
We take from the New York Tribune, usu-
ally well posted with reference to occurrences
in the war, the following views of the proba-
BILE picture Of the campaign, which it will be
perceived are different from ours:
+" The Karabelnaya side being completely in
the hands of the Allies, they are in a position
to undertake operations in the field. Though
they will not be able to establish many batter
les or many troops in that suburb, on account
OF the fire from the northern shore of the har-
Dor, they have succeeded in reducing the Rus
sian portion of Sebastopol to less than one
half Its extent before the 9Th inst, and to a
fortress capable of holding but a limited mum.
Der of defenders Not only is the offensive
power Of the garrison completely crushed, bat
its defensive strength is greatly reduced. A
Tar smaller number ofmen will suffice to carry
on the seige, and the troops thus set free, with
the re endorsements now on the road or at the
camp of the Maslake, will be available for
an expedition to Eupatoria. The more we
examine the relative position of both Russians
and Allies on the Tchernaya, the more evident
nj mott Il al
other away hence without great superiority
aud enormous sacrifices. The opinion in the
allied camp would seem to be that from 60 600
to 90, 900 men should be sent to Eupatoria, in
order to march upon the communications Of
the Russians at Sympheropol. Suppose the
Russians to have 200, 900 men in the Crimea,
(which they certainly have not) so 600 men
would be required for the defense of the North
Forts, go, 900 for the position on the Tchernaya,
and 90, 600 to meet the allied army of Eupato
ria
Go In the present spirit of the allied forces
1t is certain that with equal numbers and in
an equally divided field they will beat the
Russians; and as by taking up position on
the Russian line of communications they can
force them to give battle, there does not seem
to be any risk in such an undertaking. On
the contrary, it is probable that the Russians
would be able to oppose this expeditionary

They now have both moral and numerical su-
periority, and we doubt not they will profit by
1t before another winter on the plateau has
reduced their numbers and damped their
spirits. Indeed, the latest report is that, by
the 18th, Is 900 men had already sailed for
Eupatoria, and we shall doubtless hear of a
still greater force following
