• pROM the Baltic , the Black Sea , and the field of j } war in Asia , we continue to receive reports on the whole favourable to the progress of the allied forces against Russia . The telegraph gives us late and hopeful news from the Danube , and the Gazette supplies the details of the affair at Hango Sound , with an episode highly- creditable to the men engaged . Not only is it tTue \ that an experimental attack was made upon the guns of a detached fort , and that the trial of artillery showed a striking superiority on the English side ; but the commanders of two ships , the Ajrogant and Hecla , had an opportunity of making a . dash inland , and cutting out some merchant vessels where they were supposed to lie in safety- under the Russian guns . On the 30 th of May , Silistria , regularly invested by the Russian army , was still defended , with no prospect of being immediately reduced . On the contrary , the defenders had made more than one gallant sortie , had , it is said , spiked some of the enemy ' s guns , and had inflicted great carnage . The telegraph of the 8 th inst . confirms the Russian determination to continue blockading , and their abandonment of any hopes to take it by storm . The French as well as the English troops have proceeded by sea to Varna , in order to arrive more speedily to the relief of Silistria . The right wing of the Russians is on the Aluta river , which flows from the Carpathians southwards to the Danube . The Turks appear in the main to occupy that lower eastern quarter of Lesser Wallachia . Should Silistria be relieved , it appears probable that the Russians may be driven back eastwards on both sides of the great river , towards Bessarabia . It will be remembered that the reconquest of that province from Rusala has already been mentioned as one of the " costs * m the action" to be exacted from the great trespasser . The Turkish army at Kars , its spirit reinvigorated by the intelligence from Constantinople , proves to be in a better state than had boen supposed , and it evidently furnishes a good nucleus for operations on the south side of the Black Sea The work against the Russians is proceeding ir good earnest . . _ Sweden is showing stronger signs of adhesion t ( anti-Kussian alliance . The Swedes begin to Hpeal favourably of restoring the Poles to nationality and self-government ; and however difficult it ma ;
be for the official mind in England to grasp the idea of a great act of political strategy , there is no doubt that the re-establishment of the Army-Nation would effect a great saving for tlie moveable armies of the Allied Powers . The Vienna correspondence appears to place the application of Austria to Russia beyond doubt . The Austrian note refers to the effort of the German powers to obtain , a peaceful solution of the Eastern question ; " stern necessity , " however ., is urged as justifying Austria in insisting upon the evacuation of the Turkish Danubian territories ; and hope is expressed , that the Emperor of Russia will even now relieve Austria from tne consequences of his refusal . This looks as if Austria were in earnest ; but whether Prussia has endorsed the note or not we do not yet learn . But , as if Austria could do nothing unqualified by something else , the Emperor is to meet the King of Prussia at Teschen , in Saxony , for a conference . It is remarked , as an adverse sigjx , that M . Gerlach , the high-monarchy adviser , accompanies the King as an " assistant" at the interview . On his side the Emperor is aided by Count Buol . Considerable dou"bt still hangs over the conduct of the Greek Government . The King ha * received tie representatives of France and England , and has made to them a speech declaring that he will preserve neutrality . Coupled with the conduct of which he has been so recentl y guilty , the speech fills one "with contempt and mistrust of a man who can make these professions under coercion , and avow that he is virtuous by force so soon after he has endeavoured to be vicious by evasion . To mistrust the Greeks , even wlien they are bringing promises , is still sound policy . It will l ) e well if the Emperor of Austria has tlie same kind of regard towards Frederick William , who is meeting him at Teschen , in Saxony . The i Emperor is accompanied by his trusty Ministers , 1 Count Buol and Count Thun ; the King of Prussia by the flexible Manteuffel and the Russian Gerlach . The King , who has made such courteous i professions to England , has concluded an alliance ¦ with Austria , and continues in friendly communii cation with Russia , has recently been contributing to an English church at Uerlin . The man , we 1 believe , would accommodate anybody with liis countenance and assistance , in a small way , but 5 he is took weak to bo trusted . c The war is the only topic that creates any active y interest at home . In Parliament the leading sub-Y ject is tlie newly-determined appointment of War
—! ' ¦ —""" !—¦ ' ¦¦ ¦ ¦' •• . . —*'¦ ¦'¦ j '—"; " * y » :. ' " - . ; ' ¦¦>" J - . ! ' . - ¦ '• — t * Minister . That is now settledi ; andit isi we' b « S * lieve , equally settled that the . Puke of Itfewcastle is to relaui the duties which he has conducted thus far . The appointment of the Colonial Secretary is not yet settled . The War Minister will have to control all the offices which now carry on the administration of military affairs ; arid hft will likewise be charged with the duty of conceding and putting into effect successive refprnis of these departments in order to bring them ^ into a mate united action . ' Such was ' the ' a ^^ n ^ J 0 ^ of ^' John RusselTs statement in ' tnV ' ^ H&ii ' S ^ ' j o | f ^ 6 li'imons on Thursday . By another reform' the Secretary-at-War lias , with a stroke of the pen , abolished the " clothing colonels ; " ^ nd we learni also that the British Guards have paraded at Scutari without their stocks . Reforms , therefore * are already in progress ; and there is fl . spiriti ^ vel are inclined to believe , in the army , as . welt ; flfL . itt Parliament and the public , which will lead , to still further improvements , especially in mailers of detail . Birmingham and Sheffield have come forth iu support of a movement that has been considered with much favour in these active places . It is . well kaown that a number of Poles have settled in that part of the country ; and that , indeed , the Englishmen of Yorkshire aadWarwiclfflhire hay © felt a more abiding sympathy with that wronged . nation than our countrymen in other parts have retained . Hence it was proposed , some time back , that a meeting should be held at Birmingham on the subject ; Sheffield took part , and the meetings have been held . The original design , however , appears in some degree to have been departed from , and to a certain extent , so far as . we can construe the outward appearances , without any private communications whatever from any town , —we are particular in noting tha . t fact , —w& are inclined to fear that the actual turn of the movement is less thoroughly English than it should have been . It may , perhaps , be thought that a considerable gain to the Polish cause would bo effected by procuring the cooperation of Kossuth , and we are not prepared to deny that there may in future be an advantage in having the pledge of tho Hungarian leader to that alliance . ISTevertholesa , there are two circum - stances connected with the meeting which , "we regret—the absence of some men who more espe ciully- possess the confidence of the Liberals in both places , and the apparent advocacy of Russia even aa compared with Austria . We have no
