[From the Boston Daily Chronicle, Nov. 27 .} THE STATE OF THE WAR AT THE END OF THE SECOND YEAR, Whoever may wish to understand, thoroughly, how vast is the advance that has been made by the Allies in the war, has only to cast his mind’s eye back to this time a year ago, and contrast the things that now are with the things that then were. We had then just received accounts of the battle of In- kermann, and the general impression was that as the Russians should come = there would be made an unceasing series of attacks upon the Allied camp, the result of which would be to drive the invaders into the sea. The Russians had px 80 suddenly from the defensiye to the offensive, that men believed their change of modes was due only to their change of numbers, amd that their supplies of soldiers were inexhaustible. If they failed at Bala Clava and Iakermann, after having been rein. foreed by the corps of Liprandi and Danaenvorg, they would attack again as soon as other reinforcements, already on their way, should reach the theatre of war. Such was the prevail- ing opinion. Men did not dispute the bravery of the Allies, or deny that they had the means of contending with Russia, on — terms, on a fair field; but the advantages, they contend- , were all on the side of the Czar, who could pour such vast armies inte the Crimea as would be able to push the Allies, as it were, from its soil, by their mere weight. England, it was said, had but few more soldiers to send, and it would take a great while to get them into line. France had men enough, but before they could be sent the war in the old Hellenjc pen- insula would be over. What made this view of the subject a)) the more probable was tke destitute condition of the allied armies. It had become clear that the English, at least, were badly served, and that starvatioy was tu be added to the ills under which they were suffering. JJunger and cold were again ‘bout to do the work of the Museovite. Sickness, ever the at- adant on armies thus situated, would soon appear, and ‘ep away thousands of those who had ;thue audaciously sod wpon the holy (and stolen) evil of the grcat empire. Contriving to collect a con- | 1 that the price he gave for it was about 4s. 8d., sterling, per acre. Now, we have no fault to find with Mr. Douse, or any one else, making a lucky speculation in land, — such measures as the Rent Roll Bill, the Compensation Bill, and perhaps the revival, to some extent, of the Escheat question, —have had some influence, no doubt, on the mind of the Earl of Selkirk, in inducing him to part with property the use of which to himself is beset with so many difficulties, The enemies of the present Government have ayailed themselyes of every opportu- | nity, and resorted to every contemptible stratagem they could , devise, to make the people on the Worrell Estate discontented with the very moderate price of 12s. 6d. charged for the best ‘land on that estate, since it came into the hands of the Govern- ‘ment. Now, as those parties are all friends of Mr. Douse, we should be glad to know what opinion they entertain of him, when he asks the very moderate price of from 35s. to 40s. per acre for land on the estate recently purchased, of a quality no way superior to that for which the Government receives only 12s. 6d., if we except that the.former happens to be a little | nearer to Charlottetown than the latter. Of course, the parties _ to whom we allude will not breathe a syllable in disparagement | of Mr. Douse, even if he should feel inclined to ask 60s, an acre. We shall hear nothing from them but congratulations — con- gratulations to Mr. Douse on his lucky speculation, and con- gratulations to the tenantry on having such an excellent landlord. By the way, this is the language used in the last Islander, by some wretched toad-eater, who plays second fiddle to the quandom whipper of niggers. Compliments to Mr. Douse for having placed the tenantry on Lot 31 in such a position that no considerable number of them can ever hope to become freeholders, and congratulations to those tenantry on their being consigned to a more galling state of serfdoar than that under which they have yet su,fered — present a fine con- trast to.en ediferial article in the same paper, which informs us that all the township lands in this Island are liable to es- cheat— that, by implication, the assumed proprietors are swindlers; and that Mr. Donse, as well as the rest of them, should have his property immediately confiscated. It is ex- pressly stated in the editorial alluded to, that the Worrell Estate lapsed to the Crown in 1826 on account of a non-fulfil- ment in the conditions of the original grant. The Selkirk , Estate is, or was, in no better position. If Mr. Worrell had a bad title to the former, Mr. Douee has also a had title to the latter. If it were a swindling transaction, as we are told it was, for the Government to take the public money for the purchase of the Worrell Estate, it was also a swindling trans- action for the Earl of Selkirk to take Mr. Douse’s money for Lot 31,— Mr. Douse was a fool to give it,—the people on that Lot will he fools to acknowledge him as proprietor, to pay him xcuts, ox to purchase Km him.

There was not the smallest occasion for the octogenarian of Sailor’s Hope to distress himself on behalf of our City fathers -—no one will be more ready than ourselves, on all occasions, to make every allowance in their favour ; and if we saw them unjustly attacked, perhaps we should be one of the first to give them the support of our press. If we cherished hostile feel- ings towards them, we could not wish them a heavier calamity than to be placed in such a position as to require Mr. Cooper's defence.
