through the most dangerous flank march possi- ble, you turn to the south You could not for want ot troops, invest the place; you did not dream of preventing the accumulation of military stores and victuals which were coming | from the interior of Russia and Siberia. down the Volga and the Doe through Rostof and kertch to Sevastopol.
 But you simply established yourselves there, trusting to chances and despisng the ene- my-and there you still are. Since then you have been in imminent danger-averted only through want of boldness in the Russian lead. CTS, and heroic valor in your soldiers at Inker- mann and Balaklava--of driven back to the sea. Since then, you have lost the hope of an active alliance with Austria, lost the confidence or Europe, lost considerable amount of money, lost q speak of England alone) some 10000 men; and won-some counter-approaching out posts erected since your arrival''
 lis opinion of the prospects of the siege is given as follows
 "One would say that the man who first plan ned the Crmean expedition, wanted to solve this problem: how to sink, in an apparently plausible enterprise the best blood of England, and make her defencecss for time of need.
 "Unless you raise the siege; unless you ap- ply your energies to the only vulnerable point of RuSsia-Poland unless you radically change the policy ruling the war, you can do nothing but systematically and periodically perish in frutlcss attempts before Sevastopol. Russia is there now too strong for you"
 Here is what he thinks should be done:
 "Every man who has a son, brother, or friend ill the east, ought to walk with map of he Crimea on his breast and flag with the name of Poland inscribed, from place to place, ftom park to park, from cottage to cot tagc, and preach and explain, until hundreds of thousands should peacefully but sternly sig nily their will. Change of policy Down with Austria. Let Poland's rising be helped. And then you ought to kneel and thank God most humbly for having placed the easy accomplish ment of | grea5 act of justice on the very path which leads to English safety and suc- cess.
 "But Austria! Prussia! Leave Prussia to her own people; Austria to Hungary and to our selves As sure as Austria will neverfre sin gle gun for you against Russia, not single Austrian gun will be fired against you while we live. The question of the nationalities is amounting to general war. What of what? Will not the natonalities fight their own bat ties? Only those battles will be yours too With Poland, Hungary, and Italy up, the Czar cannot dream of marching to Constantnople."
