MODERN CHIVALRY,

As we read the sickening details of the holocust of the brave before grim Alina—as we devour the details of the! abortive valour of our terrible chivalry at Bala Clata—as we think of the kandful of noble hearts toiling in the trenches. in the night, without tents, clothing, shed, shelter, necessary | food, and roused as they snatch an hour of fitfal sleep to

|maddening enemy to hideous ruin, only again to return to_ the toiling mine, and to be awakened ‘all with weary task | foredone’. to a new victory indeed, but also to fresh grief as well as glory, as comrade after comrade offers up his stalwart | frase to the thunder clap of the remorseless artillery—as we {behold triumph upon triumph robbed of the relief'and security | )it should have earned, by the piling up of increasing hostile | | numbers, fresh and closing in upon their strained strength and thinned ranks—thinacd by their.own prowess and sacrificial intrepidity—we are staggered in our purpose, and question our very heart's core to see whether it can be possible that any end can justify such means. Kngland’s best-and boldest perishing of cold, of climate, or disease—our British ‘ beautiful and brave,’ the prop aud pride of many a princely house, stretched stark upon the bloody field, or, while yet breathing, murdered for their trappings by greedy Cossack or callous drunken Sclave—our peasant patriots, the hope of the sweet hamlet. the light of the village home, that stood by their colours in the lurid glare of deadly strife, or followed their captain to the charge with British cheers and lion hearts, to death or giory, hewing down the confounded Musecovites ‘like sheep,’ and, in the very tempest of the fight, serupling to deal more carnage among poor wretches beaten up to their work of murder, with the stick, or pricked into the advance by the sword points of their officers, when we think of this, realize it to the faney as a thing done, and yet doing —it is then that we feel the solemn signilicancy of the course we have advo- cated, and are driven again to interrogate our consciences to see whether all there be‘ clear in this great business.’ It seems as if the annihilation of a cloud of Cossacks were dearly purchased at the cost of one Life Guardsman or Hightander. To lose an Arnaud, a Catheart, a Strangways, in such a melee with Nortiern savage slaves, isas if we dashed a chronometer against a barren sea mark. Could we prevail upou ourselves to look upon human rightsas if they were bales of cotton, and the cause of civilizatien in the light of the tare and tret of sugar hogsheads, or the yards in a piece of domestics or fustian, capable of an arithmetical gauge, or of compression into a balance-sheet—then, indeed, we should, perhaps, be driven to revert to the Quaker position, We might be asked asa mere question of profitand loss, whether the disease and misery, and hayoc of the march, the encamp- ment, siege and battle, caused to the Turks, the Russians, the Greeks, the French, and the British, by resistance to the dictation and aggression of the Czar, are not greater than any conceivable infliction of unresisted oppression ?. We might be (as indeed we have been) told that the hundred millions of money, and the hundred thousand able-bodied men lavished on this war, would buy peace, and be of greater value than if Turkey were actually reduced to our own possession, We may be reminded that all these devastations of the Crimea aud the Principalities, and Finland, are positive, ascertained, human calamities, to be scored up against a mere, problema- tical evil—a political hypothesis ; and that the taxation wrung from the poor to carry ou the hostilities is not only withdrawn from reproduction and applied to destruction, but, in. its abstraction inflicts on the masses of four nations the most grinding poverty—an amount of misery as greatas the sack- ing of towns, or the infliction of a military despotism upon the countries involved in the controversy, This subjection of political ethics to the formula of algebraic equation only re- quiries for its sueccss the trifling concession of the postulate to be proved, and then, indeed, the Peace Society would overbear all. resistance. When the Tory mewber, whose probosis had been tweaked by an Opposition Lrishman, asked Pitt what he should do, the Minister advised him to soap his nose—truly a much less troublesome process than either a duel or an action for assault. The more formidable that the Czar proves himself to be, the more necessary is it that he should be put down. Wesee not only the overgrown power of this barbarian dictator, but.the use to which he seeks to patit, Turkey his slave, Austria h’s vassal, Prussia his ally — where would Europe be in another generation had this Imperial tyrant his way? Talk of arbitration? Was not Austria his owu re‘eree-—and was not the award against him? Costly as is the price—great as is our loss of brave jand able men—dear as is the rate at which we pay in devasiation, disease, privation, penury, and mourning of the | heart, the object is worth it all—the terrible means. are | sanctified by the pure, high-principled, unselfish, holy end, | It is worth our last guinea and our last man, The solema | truth has gone forth: a war of aggression will no longer be tolerated in Europe. ‘Phe public burglar of States, the un-| , scrupulous buccanier who wantonly invades the territory of an junocgent neighbour, must be outlawel as a common public | eciminal, and quashed as a general nuisance. No Royal Ruffian can, in this century, be suffered to substitute violence for right, and to found a title upon mere unprovoked con- qifest. Let him once ‘bestride the narrow world lke a | Colossus,’ and soon he will make ‘ petty men’ of all of us, and scarcely suffer us to

We scarcely megnify the issue when we ask-—‘ Whether it | were better he should die that we may live all freemen—or | that he should live, that we may die ali slaves?’ Should he baffle us, ‘Turkey is gune—Greece is swallowed up—LEgypt appropriated— India approached—furewell to Hungary, Italy, Poland—the cause of constitutional government in Europe. ‘Justice ¢alls on us to say that it was no necessarily ‘ timid counsel’ which opposed the invasiowof the Crimea.

THE LESSONS OF THE WAR.

The batile of Inkermann has its lessons, of which we trast profit will be made, Due vigilance was wanting in the weakest part of cur position, which, as most likely to be selects

for attack, should have been most carefully guarded against surprise—-but surprised, as we have seen our troops were, and they had barely time to get into position to bar the way of the enemy swarming up the heights, under cover of the fire of their batteries, planted undiscovered during the night. All was well prepared on the one side, and unprepared on tho other—dogged, resolute bravery excepted, which retrieved a'l faults, The enemy was, as usual, great! y superior in artillery ;

/not superior in practice, but superior in weight of metal and

range, and it was not till two cighteen-pounders were gotu und brought to bear that we coped with them effectively with thet arm, Those two guns swept away the Russian columns like grass under the mower’s scythe, every shot traversin masses of flesh, and leaving a long train of kilied and Roane The question is why, in all our wars, we are go generally overmatched in artillery, not in skill, but in'guns, our pieccs being lighter than those opposed to them. In the campai

of Wellington complaint was constantly ‘made of the disparity between the calibre of the French and English guns, and in India we were in this respect overmatched by the Sikhs. Yet no nation has such means of moving heavy pieces, as our horses are the most active and strong, or in default of horses, our men can handle the largest guns like toys, as our seamen prove wheneyer they are employed for the purpose ashore. The improvement of our muskets has just taken place in the very nick of time, and the Minie rifle has ren- dered inestimable service against the Russians, as they them- selved acknowledge; aud there is no reason why we should’ not havea superiority in artillery also, or at least an equality, instead of an admitted inferiority, as at present.’ Smartness has always been too much prized in our service, and probably for smart movements our guns have been kept below tho calibre which is now found to be requisite to put them on an equality with the corresponding arm of the enemy. Our field batteries are now, compared with those of the Russians, about what the old musket Brown Bess was, compared with the Minie rifle, that is to say, in point of range, . This is a defeet that should be promptly remedied. The marvel is that our troops have done what they have done with their means and numbers; and whatever may be the result of the siege of Sebastopol, it will be a matter of amazement and ad- miration hereafter that such a force as that cf the allied armies undertook such a work, and carried their operations successfully, so far as to hold on their defence nearly an equal force behind walls furnished with all the material of war? of an amply provided arsenal, while also keeping a large relieving army outside at bay, and victorious] y repelling their attacks. It is really, however, almost a urisnomer to call this a siege, As properly might the Russian attack of the Sth be called the siege of Inkermana, To borrow,a naatical

phrase, we have brought an entrenched position alongside the»

Russian entrenched position, and are fighting it like two ships, yardarm to yardarm, but with this unusual eiveumstance, that there is a third ship of nearly equai’ foree hovering about, to seize opportunity of attack. It has hitherto been considered as a rule of strategy, that a siege cannot be pro- seeuted with any prospect of suevess unless the besiegers are in such force as to be able to dispose of any army attempting the relief of the place. And when this is the case the operation is an investment, and the place is so surrounded with works as to cut it off from all succour or support from without. Instead of th's, our means confine us to a partail attack on Sebastopol, leaving it open in the other quarters; so that the Russian troops come and go at pleasure, and shift their strength from the open field to the fortress, or from the fortress to the open field, as may. suit4heir operations or exigencies. It is the opinion of competent military judges, that for the reduction and subsequent occupation of Sebas-. topol, the allied forces should be raised to » number not shors of seventy or eighty thousam] men of ail arms.

ns +o coe.

Tuanks oF Partiamenr ro tue Paexcu Anwy.—The Moniteur says: “ All Hrance will he deeply moved by the thanks which England has just voted by acclamation to Gen. Canrobert and our army, and to Admiral Hamelin and our navy, for their gallant co-operation and cordial assistance in the Kastern war. ‘To this solemn manifestation, hitherté un- exampled, of the sentiments of a great people towards its faith- ful ally, France has already responded by the expression of her admiration for the distingnished valour of the Jipglish army and wavy. She las eagerly echoed the culogies which eur generals-in-chief, after the bottles of Alma, ala Clava, and Lukermann, have given to the intrepidity of Lord Raglan and his noble troops. The two peoples, as the two ares have rendered to each other the fairest, the most cordial - ustice, Whilst the soldiers and sailorsvie in courage and se! -denial, the two nations seem to contend in generosity cach to grant to the other the greater share in the glory acquired in come mon, Nothing can be more calculated to draw stil! closer the bonds of their alliance than the exchange of these noble feelings ; nothing can better, secure for ‘them the sym athies and assistance of all civilised peoples, and, hasten the final triumph of the holy cause which they are defending.”

—_ >

PREPARATIONS FOR STORMING Serastopot.—Private letiers from the French camp before Sebastopol speak of the assault of that piace as an event that may soon be expeeted. | From several points of observation everything that. is done: within the besieged city can be seen. The second line of fortifications is described as very strong. The Russians have availed themselves of every point. where resistance ean be offered, and what is calledithe Promenade, is not the: worst prepared to meet the allies. The difficuliy, however, is not so much to take Schastopol as to kw) it, for we shall be amquestiouably exposed to a severe fire from the heights avd fortresses on the right side. Sebastopal will probubly be a complete ruin before we can get in, at ruin as it may be, there j ‘No alternative,

‘s that it rast be stortived und captared to a moral . Phe Russians seem to have foreseen and provided for such’a cotitingeicy ; and they have made every preparation for retreat to the north side of the harbor, and ‘huve taken measures to place every impediment to: our advance. “I'he retreat ‘of Liprandi was’ occasioned by the inundation of the Tchernaya, and a letter from the —
