Will SebasfOpol be Taken?

IoN," the intelligent correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, takes the following sensible view
Of things in the Crimea -
1t is now ten months since the allies commence
ed their operations in the Crimea, and the results,
so far, are very favorable to their success. Their
exultation at recent successes is quite diSpropor-
tionate TO any advantage they have gained. They
have taken Kertsch, which they could have at any
time, because Russia did not want il, and have
therefore neglected to fortify and defend it. They
have simply used the fort as long the allies
chose 10 let them have it, but it was by no means
regarded as necessary to their supplies. They
have taken, with immense loss. two advanced
works Of the Russians before Sehastop"l, which
works have already answered their military pur-
pose, and which can be renewed on different lines
wheneve. it may be expedient.
The Ma melon, little round hill was for
fled by the Russians after the battle of nkcrmann,
and like their other advanced works, had given
The allies much trouble by inflading their advanc
ed works. All these victories are mere affairs Of
out. posts, but which fritter away the strength of
the allies without giving them the least important
advantage. They have brought the allies now to
the fearful trial Of the months of July and August,
when pestience must necessarily destroy them by
thousands, when action is impossible, and mac
ton IS destruction. The Russian strength in the
Crlmea has been increased, as we have every
TO believe, to extent equal to that Of the
allies and their forces outside Of Sebastopo are so
concentrated at fortified points to be able to
open communication with Sebastopol, 10 resist
any attack from the allies and to be ready at the
critical moment to avail themselves Of an oppor-
tuni:y to strike decisive blow. These circum
stances unfavourable to the peace which the
allies expect to conquer before Christmas. Engl-
and is fighting 70. the preservation of her military
prestige, and, as the London Times urges, for
England to be beaten in the Crimea, is to be bea.
ten everywhere. We might, for the sake of our
own interests, of the interests Of the world, wish

have received the details Of the Baic's news,
which confirm the previously reported "suc-
cesses'' of the Allies, and so far we can per-

operations against Russia. The taking Of Kertch,
through which the Russians are said to have re-

decided and serious blow to Russia.
