THE WAR IN THE CRIMEA.
The last aeso,snts from Europe has not chang
ed our opinion in reference to the hazardous po-
sition Of the Allies before sebastopol. We
consider it exceedingly. critical; for it appears
that the Russians are Strengthening their forth
fcations Of The city; arming their vessels Of war
and reinforcing their garrison while the army

not proved themselves so reliable as either the
English Or French soldiers.
We some time ago expressed the opinion,that
the Allies would either have to storm and take
Sebastopol, or retire from the contestant such
is our present impression IF they remain idle
until the spring, Russia win have assembled an
army against which it would be vain to contend
We see the Allies talk Of storning the city; but
this has been their talk for a long time. 1t is
now said, that the French forces are to attack
the city, whilst the English and Turks hold the
army of Mensehikof at bay. If this design be
carried out, the whole allied forces will be fully
occupied, and It is difficult to say which viii
have the most dangerous position; that Is, If the
Russian army outside has been as largely rein
forced as is reported.
It is supposed that Prussia and the whole
Germanic States will make common cause with
the Allies. We do not believe that blow viii
be struck against Russia either by Austria or
Prussia: for we are of opinion that they are act
ING with duplicity towards the Allies. They
may be instrumental ii bringing about peace,
which we think is their chief design--and for
which, we suspect, all hands are eagerly looking
notwithstanding the war speech said to have
been made a short time since by the Emperor
Of France. Indeed, it would be their best pol
iey---for they are wasting their resources, and
sacriicing thousands of valuable lives, to obtain,
perhaps, At last no better terms for either party
than could be had at present.
