The New Fact In The War-News Is The Appe...
THE new fact in the war-news is the appearance of the Allied fleet before Odessa—not the bombardment of that famous port as we hud been led to expect . It was on the 8 th instant that they anchored off the town , but up to this time we have no news of their progress . This is not , perhaps , difficult to account for . It was by way of St . Petersburg that we received the first intimation of the movement of the licet . The telegraph which connects the Crimea with continental Europe is at some distance from the scene of action . A ship must be sent with the news , either to Kamiesch or Varna ; but it is not probable that the Admiral will send a ship to report progress until some progress be made . No doubt the Russians would inform us in due time should any disaster befal them , but we cannot expect them to be in any hurry about it . Should they beat ofl * the fleet , or should the fleet sail away , re infccla , no doubt the Russians would hasten , with all possible speed , to inform us of the fact . Excepting this movement on Odessa , we have nothing positively now to record respecting the war . But this navnl expedition may be viewed as a diversion in aid of the military operations in the Crimea . These operations , so far aa they are obvious , nre , the strengthening o f the garrison of Kortch ; a strong movement from Baidar , the right of the Allies , directed apparently against the Russian loft ; the bombardment of the north side from the south side ; and the occupation of Kupatoria in force—the first fruits of which were the defeat of the Russian cavalry , and the capture of six guns and some scores o f prisoners , by the French dragoons under D'Allonvim . k , and a now movement on the Perekop road . From this it would appear that no attempt is to bo nmdoon the Russian front , but that an effort is to
be made to turn their flank simultaneously with threatened operations in the rear . It is satisfactory to see that the British army is in an excellent state of health . The latest returns of Dr . Hall show a considerable diminution in the number of hospital cases . It is also satisfactory to find that not only the French in the valley of Baidar , but the Sardinians and tbe Enrrlish on other points of the position , are busily en <» nged in making roads and preparing for the contingency of another winter in the Crimea . Little can be said respecting the war in Asia . The arrival of Omar Pacha , with 15 , 000 or -20 , 000 men , at Batoum , with a view of relieving Kars , is confirmed ; but the state of Kars is growing desperate ; provisions are scarce within the town , and the incessant activity of General Molravieff on all sides prevents the arrival of supplies . The question , therefore , is whether Omar Pacha can arrive in time to be of any use ; whether the garrison c : in hold out until the winter ; or , should they do so , whether evc-n then the Russians will abandon the chance of reducing the place by famine . On the subjects the daU are too slight for any one to form a just opinion . After the battle , the honours ; but the remarkable fact in the open-hunded distribution of honours that has taken p lace is , that the victory and the reward do not always coincide . Grand Crosses of the Legion of Honour naturally fall on Pki . issikk , and may , by compliment , go to Simpson ; for France is not his country , and to the Emperor , in some degree , ho represents England . The Grand Cross of the Bath goes to Pklissieu , for he first gained a victory for England as well as France , but why to Simpson ? lie assisted , it is true ; he sat and looked on ; he did his duty , and there is nothing at present to show that he neglected anything which he ought to have performed . The movement allotted to him , in fact , did not succeed , but he miiy have an excuse for that . We awiiit it ; yet we are astounded when we hear that he is elevated along with the highest and most successful . No , not the hig hest , he id not made a Marshal ; but as France makes one Marshal for the MalakhoU " , so England makes three for tho Redan ; only , as x'outine will not permit dashing Colonel Winkiiam to have the baton over Simpson's head , the rewards f or the victory which was not one at the Redan must be g iven to somebody else , and so they go to ComniciiMKnu , Stbavford , and Haudingk ; and as the one Marshal which France has made is woll
balanced by the three Marshals which England has made , we need not be ashamed of tbe final result . Some of the minor officers , also , will have rewards ; numbers have been mentioned , a large proportion of them staff—men . usually who have hig h connexions , or can win their way to favour . Some 150 badges of C . B . have been ordered , and they will of course be sent out to tbe 1-2 G officers who have been mentioned . It is true that th : s list does not comprise all the officers who were killed and wounded , but rewards must stop somewhere ; and if a man has not merit enough to get upon the staff , or connexion enough , he must see his betters carry off the C . 13 . which he has earned . France has advertised to all . whom it may concern that she—that is the Emperor—does not intend to enter into partnership with Neapolitan revolutionists , but that he is contemplating the establishment ' of his family among the orderly dynasties whose rule it is not to interfere with each other . A formal statement in the Moniteur announced that the Government does not sanction the circulation of " a certain letter "—meaning the letter of Prince Lucien Murat ; for that the Empkhok ' s conduct has always been "loyal" ' towards the governments of foreign states . Franca indeed has had some quarrels to pick with Naples , but they are such as monarch may pick with monarch , regulated by the rules of p ublic law , heralds , courts-martial , and diplomacy , and not at all by such law as public opinion or the judgment of common people . King Bomiia may be the most oppressive tyrant in the world ; he may shake upon his throne from the indignation of his people ; lie may be suborning the lazz . ironi of the Bay of Naples—playing at once the tyrant and demagogue " , but all this is nothing to Napoleon , whose business it has not been in Italy , any more than in France , to identify himself with any popular or republican institutions . On tho contrary , if Naples -will apologise and not meddle with his gunpowder or sulphur , or oiliciiil representatives , Napolkon will not meddlo with Ferdinand ; will not p atronize Mubat , who w rather a sort sort of patriot after all ; and with the patriot he certainly will not outer into partnership at Naples any more than at Home .
