The English, rather Inundated BY the wanton
slaughter at the Redsn, and acknowledging their
defeat willingly, though the French msgnaui'
msusly give them share in the triumph, turn
low against their con mander. in chief, whose null
lity has been 80 stTikiDey proved by his own not
very truthful report. Not one Of all the many
correspondents Of the London press dares to ex-
euse Gen. Simpson; this jury Of intelligent and
impartial Englishnien condemned him with re-
variable uDaDimity, and held him responsible for
the announcement which led to the disgrace of
the Bedan. The Times assaults him nov viO-
emily and representing in the present case the

Iassts insists strongly upon bis instantaneous re-

The Hor,e Guards should not yield TO the torrent
of public opinion. They are willing to replace the
unlucky and utterly unfit commander of the British
troops in the Crmea by some younger general
probably Gen Markham or Eyre but they wish
~ give Gen Simpson one more chance for rehabil-
itatiOn. We fear his fate will resemble that OF
his predecessor, Lord Raglan, whO under parallel
circumstances, could not retrieve his name, and
had TO atone for bis want Of capacity by death IN
consequence of disappointment aud exhaustion.
Sir Alexander Malet, the English ambassador at
the Frankfort Diet, has lately distinguished him
self in rather u0diplomatc way. at public
dinner at Hamburg in Germany, given in honor of
the victory of Sevastopol he most openly accused
the King of Prussia and his government OF unlOyal
sympatbies for Russia and declared him responsi-
bic for the calamtes which the continuation of the
war entails upon urOpe He delibeia tely said
that the people of Prussia did not share the policy
of the hing and threw ell the blame On the august
head of Frederic William ~. This is rather strong
language for diplOnatist even in an after dinner
speech, and will not fail to lead to sharp diplo
matte correspondence with Prussia, AMI 10 an open
accusation OF the English policy by the conserva-
tive papers of europe for fostering revolution
AIRY spirit in Germany as well as in Italy. There
are some sanguiDe supporters OF the ministry who
explain such flirting with the oppressed natiODall-
ties BY Lord PalmerstOns tendency Of doing some
thing for q reconstruction of the map Of Europe;
hut am sorry to say that Lord Palmcrston has no
such tendency, and would leave Sicily, Naples,
Poland, and Prussia in the lurcb, should any Of
those countries rise upon the faith of the semi
official insrlgatiOn Of the noble lord.
The condition of tho Danubian Prime palites

prove . sufficient test of the spirit In which the
Western Powers are to continue the war IN 1886,
showing whether the knglsh Ministers are IN
earnest when they speak Of the integrity of the
Tsrkish Empire and the necessity of arrestlng the
progress Of Russia in the East. We have not yet

There cannot be any doubt that Lord Palmerston
and Napoleon have settled plan about the affairs
Of Italy. While the Neapoltan difficulties are far
from being settled the Emperor of France has
made strong demonstrations at Rome advising the

the Code Napoleon, which for about ten years has
