Qebastopol Has Not Yet Fallen ; That Is ...
QEBASTOPOL has not yet fallen ; that is the 13 news of the week . But Sebastopol is to fall . The Allies are busy before it : English , French , and Turks , with seamen and marines , who are to work at the guns ; they now number , calculates General Canrobert , 80 , 000 men . Well placed southwards of Sebastopol they can be assailed—the presumption is that long ere this they have been assailed—only on one flank ; and they are therefore safe . After Sebastopol there will probably be a second pitched battle ; and as that will doubtless exhaust all the possible Russian reinforcements , the Crimea , we may rely on , it , will be sopn clear of the Czar . That is to say if Omar Pacha , on his side , can supply a "Siege of Ismail . " On all sides thu groat requisite is speed . The cholera is rnging in the Crimea , and is more dangerous than the Russians . In anticipation of a complete military conquest in the Crimea , German diplomacy is making further overtures to the Allies . Of the cautious but crafty Austrian Emperor they may now consider themselves secure ; and they are reported to bo taking means to accelerate the rationality of Frederick William—tlio means being a new regulation , that neutral bottoms do not make neutral goods . Of
coiu-ae a reaction of this kind to the wisdom of our ancestors would expedite the disgust of Russian politicians with the Prussian Cabinet . But wo still have great doubts if it be determined on by our Government s >» the first placo , because one or two members of the Cabinet , Sir Win . IMolosworth in particular , huvo been eloquently indignant with tlic barbaric conditions of former
maritime warfare , and , in the next place , because wo doubt if tho Government would oflcmd tho " inercantilo world " by stopping trudo iu order to spite Prussia . The whole report may be a canard ; but it cmno from u Government office via the City ,
and as Russian produce went up under the stimulus of the story , the reporter ought to be found out . We cannot forget how Mr . Gladstone ' s private secretary speculated in Exchequer bonds ; and the history of the last war supplies many instances of clever money-making by minor ministers . It is wonderful how the public view of the possibilities of this war is expanding . In France the Emperor is feeling his way by silently authorising tho address to him of a pampulet-lettor , in which the writer , " a distinguished personage , "
points out that Russia can only be stippressed by repairing the oversight of tho groat Xapolcon , aad re-erecting a Kingdom of Poland . And in England it is likewise Louis Kossuth , who , with Mr . Spooner , is supplying some simulacrum of a policy to the Tory party— " Poland" being now the cry , superaddod to the cry of u Protestantism . " This we gather from the speech , this wcuk , of Sir John Trollopc , who represents the best class of . squires—prejudiced yet moderate , Tories , but scholarly and well informed—and who seldom ventures to offer an opinion in which lie \ a not likely to be sanctioned by his party . Sir
John has been tiuvelling in Germany , and has come to strong conclusions , that the German peoples and the German dynasties iiro different things , and that Germany would bo llussia unl < 3 « s Poland stood between tho two .. The suggestion wsis loudly cheered by tho farmers present ; and it is likely to bo taken up generally by tho Farmer ' s Friend—more particularly as the No Popery conspiracy is rather a failure . Let the Government look to it that Lord Derby and Mr . Disruoli be not left to take the popular view of the war . Our Government can remain our Government , in this war , on one condition onl y — Unit it lead in tho war .
Does tho Government ' s ovidont disinclination to a ClnuNtnins Session indicate that it in also iiuliHposed to tiikc u popular uomi'hu Y Thu Duiich are bringing tho wholesome nuichhu'iy of impcudi . ment into fashion } and conntitutiojual ininistt'ra must begin to bo careful in u period excited by n
great war , in ¦ which are risked great principles . The Danish Ministry was beaten on the 14 th by the surprising majority of eighty to six—a , state of things so hostile to the King , that eren the throne comes into danger . The Ministry refuges to resign : there is a question of who is to impeach them ; and meanwhile the anti-Eussians obtain nothing but what they call a basis for the refusal of taxes . Our public opinion as to the holiness and justice of the war has been manifested for the
behoof of ministers in the unexampled magnanimity of the public subscriptions for the sick and wounded in the military hospitals on the Bosphorous . The generosity is so profuse and so indiscriminate , that upwards of G , OOOZ . is sent through the hands of an inevitably unfit person for the distribution—viz ., the Editor of tho Tinus . However , ho will do his best , generously too ; ami
tho sum , with other resources being collects , will not only serve to heal wounds and alleviate sickness , but oncourago the hale and stimulate the strong . Our soldiers and sailors will see that their country is worth serving . At the same time , it would be well if public criticism upon the chiefs of our forces wore more accurate and more severe . Mr . Disraeli has
remarked that we never won a great naval victory until we had shot an admiral ; and the sneer is so far true that the " service ' is all the better when tho process of " pulling-up " is in constant resort . Tho courts-martial on tho oflioers of tlie hint Arctic expedition vvero very desirable ; and despite the vagueness of the Admiralty instructions , under which ho acted , Sir Edward IJclchci , though
acquitted on technical grounds , stands coideinncd before his countrymen and Win profusion for a lax discharge of th » duly cxpi-ctud of him . May thoro not at ihirf moment bo other admirals and cuiiimuncluiv * talcing advantage of lax Admiralty inatruf <«»»«? Uyng mm shot fur Hot Hieing an enemy ; and traditionally our navy detests the prudont admiral who never makes an experiment .
