will be no peace short of final struggle at
Sebastopol. If the Allies are driven of, then
Russia will defy them. If they capture the
place, then Nicholas must do something to re-
deem the disaster, and he will become despe-
rate. Could he secure an armistice at Sebasto-
pol, there might be peace; but the siege has
advanced too far for that, and its abandonment
would be too much like an acknowledgment of
its impregnable strength, to expect it can be
conceded, short of trial of strength between
the besiegers and the besieged, at the walls Of
the town. We may be mistaken, but we con-

We had the pleasure (says the Portsmouth
Transcript, Of Tuesday last,) Of seeing, this
morning, letter from a member OF Judge Ma
sons family, in Paris, TO near relative in this
place, dated the I'd OF January which conveys
the pleasing intelligence Of his having greatly
improved since his last attack of sickness, Of
which the papers have spoken. His mind has
in no way been affected by the attack, and he
is now considered out Of danger. This will be
on. tifying news to his numerous friends and
the ct,untry at large, as the loss Of so distin-
aaished a gentleman would be public ca
lanity
We are grati6e,l TO add to the above that
the last advices By the Pacific represent that
Judge Mason's health has much improved.
