I S In A Gresifc Conflagration, The Fire...
i S in a gresifc conflagration , the fire seems at / TL first , to spread under a ground of darkness , glimmering forth ; here and there ' at point after point , and then , suddenly bursting out ¦ with a broad light that exhibits the entire field ; so in the intelligence of this week the war between Russia and the Western Powers , which had been gradually commenced at distant points of the globe , appears suddenly to flash upon us in
its full breadtlij embracing , politically ' if not already in arras , the wliole field of Europe . While the French and English armies , 60 , 000 strong , with reinforcements to , follow , are advancing towards Sebastopol , the first of the great series of granite fortifications in the Baltic lias been taken , in . the reduction of Bomarsund ; and the publication of the notes exchanged between Austria and the two Western , Powers stamps the war with its European character , enlarges the objects to be attained before pence can be even negociatod , paves the wny for a change of the European system , and foreshadows the time when the Sultan will sit at the council of Europe , independent of his conquered enemy and oppressor the Czar . These great events ¦ were in reality going ftrward simultaneously . The allied forces landed at Bonmrsund on the 8 th instant , jointly , some 20 , 000 strong or more , anil at once began their operations against the detached fortifications on the uplands , which defended the main fort so long as tliey were in llussian hands , and commanded it so soon as thoy were in ours . The French littacked the western fort by the 13 th ; the English were not ready to begin with the oasLcrn till tho 14 th , when the French had already given nn account of theirs ; tho last of these outworks was taken on tho 15 th . Gonoral 13 ixlisco surrendered tho mnin fort on tho 10 th , with ' 2001 ) prisoners ; and thus the first of tho gvanito fortresses which ltusaiiv has boasted uh hnprognaVlc , surrenders us soon as it is seriously bundled . On tho exchanged notos wo huvo tlio conditions upon which peace is to bo negotiated in a uioro distinct form , both ns to the stHtonusnt inul jib to tho reciprocal plodges of t . ho Throe Powers . The conditions involve , first , the surrender of the Hume ' mn protectorate- over " VValluchiu , Moldavia , nml Sorvin ; secondly , tho removal of all obstruction from tho navigation of tho Danube mouths
thirdly , the revision of the treaty of 1 : 841 by the coiitractiiig parties , in the interest of thp balarfce of power , curtailing the maritime privileges of Russia in the Black Sea ; and fourthly , the abolition of the Russian ¦ ' ¦ ' protectorate over the Christians in Turkey ^ the immunities of the Christians ; being confirmed by the Sultan , in the presence of the European powers generally . These are the conditions to which Russia must subscribe before either of the Three Powers , Austria , France , and England , will consent to negotiate peace ; each of the Powers reserving to itself the faculty of declaring the Conditions on which they will consent to peace itself . From , this now alliance Prussia stands aloof . She has not broken away from the Qiiadruple Alliance ; she can scarcely be regarded as released from it so long as a single Russian soldier remains within Turkish tcrritoi'y ; but she holds back from entering into this new compact . By the advance of the Powers , Prussia , remaining behind , is left more manifestly in proximity to Russia , The intelligence from tho East is not so satisfactory as that from tho North . The cholera , which hos fearfully ravaged tho French troops , is diminishing ; but if it has not delayed the movements of the troops , it has enfeebled their strength and spirit . They have , we believe , enough of both remaining for the tusk before them . And we arc inclined to suppose that tho delay has takon place to afford tho opportunity of completing the alliance with Austria , which , secures so largo ft military force on our side vntlier than that of the enemy ; for Austria cannot even so much as Prussia expect to remain neutral . The first division of the Austrian array crossed the frontier into Wallachia on thp 20 th , and General Coronini would probably follow with a force for tho occupation of Moldavia in a fow days ; while , as we have already said , tho allied forces liavo left tho Turkish territory for the Crimea to begin the attack upon Sebastopol . Thownr commences thus far under tho best cirouinritimces , Tho spirit of this country is fairly roused ; smil wo have abundant means in our hands . Tho great , forces that have boon despatched to tho Eust and to tho North aro , nn a contemporary observes , all paid for . Tho Timci lulls ua that we eould borrow 130 , 000 , 000 / . without incivnsing our annual taxation boyond its prosont amount ; . Tho index of financial vigour—Consols , which wore expected to fall to a somowhut Pittito
level * , still ri se to 94 ; and trade is nourishing . The public , indeed , appears to take to the war the more it is understood and familiarised ; and the money market is in excellent heart . The Turkish loan is in great favour ^ the ¦ applications being almost too numerous ; and while the Times is de > claring that the war has not injured , arid will hbt injure , our financial or commercial prospects , a ministerial paper is explaining that , in putting restraint upon the great enemy of commerce as well as of public laws in Europe , the war is actually worting for free-trade .
Spam continues " tranquil , " although the Union Club in 'Madrid continues to bombard the Government with memorials , demanding liberty for tbe subject , liberty for the press , for labour , for conscience , & c . ; in short , the clubs continue to take liberties with Government , and Government at present puts up with the toeatment . From America we have some strange items , including a mission which we do not perfectly
understand , in the arrival of an official gentleman ostensibly on personal business . We presume , however , that this account of his' arrival must be correct , since the United States are already so admirably represented in this country , by a gentleman who knows how to unite dignity with a conciliatory demeanour , that has done much to draw the two countries , England and America , into closer friendship .
At home , perhaps , tho most striking event oi this particular week is tho election of Lord Uaddo , for Aberdeen . Wo say it is remarkable , because , although Lord Haddo is not a Ballot man , he subscribes to the most Liberal opinions . Mr . Arthur Gordon , so recently elected for Canterbury , was not less sturdy in his declaration of opinions , and his friends in pi'ivalc life testily to liis sincerity . Sti - ange event , that two sons of the ultra-Conservative- Aberdeen , as he is usually described , should show how truly popular opinions may larli
in the most constitution : ! Governments . Lord Duncan is coining out for Forfarshiro , in tho room of Colonel Maulo ; Lord Diuiunnnko being known ns one of tho sturdiest Liberals Our aristocracy nppunrs really to bo getting ahead of tho Commons . Cholera nmki ' d way . While the 00 , 000 British troops aro ( lying from it to I ho loss < Uingeroua ononi)—tlio Kus . smn . - ; tit Sebastopol —it is still "fining in tho HritisU metropolis .
