The Peace Sentiment In England.
From the London Chronicle. March 2s.]
We are called upon to forget the iuvidous and trea-
cherous proceedings Of Russia from the very commence
ment Of this dispute aud to clutch with eagerness ct
settlement which would leave unrestricted ner power Of
future aggression. Our dplomatists at Vienna dis
credited and their means Of projecting the national
honor and interests impaired through the open sdvo
cacy Of shameful peace, by some Of the most nausn
shape somewhat different in each Of the two countries.
In France. the political and personal enemies Of the
march from his projected visit to the Crmea, now seek
TO thwart his grander views Of the interests OF his
country by exciting the commercial classes favor of
''pesce." This they can only do furtvely, and by

scene Of action, there to animate his own troops to

the magical influence of his name. Nevertheless
it Is at ths crisis in affairs that desperate and dis
appointed faction seeks to par.zs the action Of both
governments. Calculating on the force Of mere hume
rical strength unregulated by moral law they pretead
to great desire for peace in order to obtain certain
votes in the House of Commons which they think would
enable them to thrust mefu peace upon the
