LONDON, Sept %, 1851.
The Abyssnian war in which England is about to en-
gage, is just like the which the United States
nov carrying with she Indiansa nasty, troublesome,
vexatious ngorous, necessary contest, in which not
much is TO be gained and the best Is likely to
OF worst. There 10 fuss, confusion and bother
about It than would be caused by q war with France
As you have noticed the papers full Of letters from
correspondents, offering numerous impracticabe and
contradictory suggestions and the editorials OF the lead
ing journals full OF plantve and sefdepreciaory
spirit very interesting and amusing to the dspassonae
observer
John Bull would pay almost price to escape from
this war II Is not popular and the general impression
is that It will prove failure. 'Kng" Theodore is Of
NO importance outside OF his country; but he has
an unpleasant habit OF coming down upon enemy
Unexpectedly, and regular tactics OF avail
against him. He stampedes horses and cattle, like tho
Indians; he cuts of detachments poisons wells and las
soes sentres; in a word, he behaves like unman-
nerly savage, he s, and will not listen TO anything
like reason. Still Englishmen kept by him In
prison, and must be released at any cost, or the
premacy Of England in India will be lost and 30 tSs
preparations for the war go and every Britsher
grumbles. II has been very sensibly decided that
India shall be the base Of operahons but the

and twenty fast have been chartered
ports. Evidently matters have been DELAYED long
possible, in the hope that Theodore would recnt but
appears that this delay has been dangerous, and
that il it be prolonged operations be postponed for
aroher year You have only to recall the popular and
official feeling about your Indian war. and you
realize tho English feeling about the Abyssnan exped
ton.
Perhaps the prevalent aversion TO this combat
which led the journals here to give such prominence
to the recent Peace Congress At Geneva.
