The accounts from The Crimen, hich
reached us by tie Asia, on Saturday
evening last, are very barren of news.--
The signs OF peace are less naitering than
Tor weeks past, and there is every appear
ance of preparation for more vigorous
campaign on the part of Russia, and Sc>
bastoPol is 10 nearer being taken Than q
twelve month ugo.
The English have been conpeiIe,f TO
give up portion of their lines To- he
French, in consequence Of the want Of
men to defend them. Sorties were made
every night, attended with considerable
loss OIL both sides.
A French force Of $4,000 men has been
scntto guard tho Austrian frontier.
The news from Great Britain is both
exciting and important. Our accounts say
That the week has been one OF anxiety in
England. The whole Ministry had re.
signed and their resignation was accepted,
and the Aberdeen Cabinet only hold office
until a new Ministry can bc formed.
Various rnlnors point TO Lord Palmer.
ston, Lord John Russell, and lastly to
Lord Lunsdowne, as those who would
probably be placed at The head of the
Ministry.
Nothing in regard to the future ministry
is certain and much difficulty is expert
enccd III forming new cabinet.
Prussia is preparing for action. An
important despatch, dated Berlin, the 3ist
ult, says the Pruss ian Govern mcnt has
deeEced tI,e immediate ,nobiIizatio n of her
own army, and the 4tli and 5,h corps are
ordered TO occupy The provinces of Saxony
The treaties between England, Frunce
and Sardinia are published. Sardinia
engages to send, in EngIlsh ships, fifteen
thousand nicn to The Crimea, under The
command OF Sandman generals, and En-.
gland agrees to lend Sardinia million
sterling, or two, il wanted, at three per
cent; and France and England together
guarantee to- srecr Sardinia during tho
present war.
PrnsEecs S Of peace arc gloomy, new
complications having arisen in the Ger
manic rclntions, inasmuch as Prussia has
gained triumph over austria i'll the Ger.
man Diet, the motion OF the former TO pre-
vent the mobil'zatioL of the German Army

leans more strongly than ever in favor Of
Russia. She has placed her Army on a

French Army 10 pass through her torrito-
ries.

THE Complications Of tl,c War.

..15 Every account from Europe seems
to eomplicatc the war question still
more and more. Bnta few days since,

willingness to treat for peace; and
while many believed that all parties

and would agree upon terms of settle

thought that Russian policy would be
SO quickly rcpudiatcd and Russian az.
grandizemcnt so readily Abandoned
We think that the premises of both
opinions arc i: ::ca. respects true.
Russia did not, in the commencement

tensive and organized opposition: she
expected to gain her points more qui.

only in disappointment and disaster.
AL the parties arc now fully sensible
of the inconvcnicnces of the var; but
Russia is as yet the least affected by it
Her strength las been less exhausted
by it than has been tha: of The Allies,
whose resources are now we'll nigh
gone. Her military reputation is as.
yet untarnished, for Scbastopol still
thunders upon the remnants of the AL.
lied forces, while England and France
cannot cheer and stimulate th, ilaygng
energies Of Their people by the an.
nouncement that one single thing has
been done towards the accomplishment
oflhcir purposes. To the thousands
of eager cnqnirers the response is daily
made, 'No Progress. The Baltic fleet
returned home irglorions, but intact.
The conqucring army Of the Crimea we
fear will never, even inglorionsly, re.
tuln. The dcnunciations of tho Times
have been justified by the facts: and
instead ofrejoicing over the capture Of
Sebastopol, the English people may,
now we'll fear lest the army which was
to humiliatc the Gar may soon enter
the capital Of all the Russians, ,bu: only

the heap Of disaster is the dissolution
ot,the British Cabinet. At the most
critical period Of the war, one of the
chief BeIigcrents is left without head

The spring is in a mound of symme

the mounds are siN feet high, and
