At the moment 1 write England is still without a Ministry. ‘The ‘man of the situation,” to use a French expres- sion, is Lord Palmerston. I bave on one or two occa- sions statea my conviction that Palmerston was the ‘most popular man in England, and that he would, sooner er later, be Prime Minister. The immense majority on Mr. Roebuck’s motion for a committee of inquiry into the management, or rather mimmanagement, of the war, had, as a necessary conse- quence, the resignation of all the ministers—de toute la Boutique. Lord Aberdeen formally announced it to the House of Lords last night, and Palmerston announced it im the Commons, The majority against mimsters on Mr. Roebuck’s motion was 167. Now, when it is con- sidered that this motion and its consequent vote was not the offspring of opposition machinations, but the Jegitimate child of indignant public opinion, aroused by the sufferings of our army in the Crimea, the impor- tance which must be attached to it is very great. The vote was received in silence. It is regarded by many as the first blow struck by the hand of the people against our system of government. Public opinion represented im the press by the Zimes, found a mouthpiece in Roe- buck, and the government fell, lites house built of carda, at the first breath. The question now is ; who is to be Prime Minister? As Thay ady said, there is but one man who enjoys ‘the confidence of the people, and that man is Palmera- ten; but there is such a split among parties that he will find it difficult to form a ministry. Moreover he is not a favorite at Windsor. The nation also will not be satisfied unless he is Minister of War. @n Aberdeen’s resignation the Queen sent for Lord Derby, but he bas not been able to forma ministry, thongh he had a long interview with Palmerston af*er waving the Palace. I believe he offered him the War effice, but Palmerston declined to serva uader him. Earl Grey would make a good War Minister, with Pal- merston as Premier, Gladstone in the Echequet od a few young men of action, aw Layard, Stafford and Os. borne, who have been and seen things with their own eyes as under-secretaries . It ie to be hoped a ministry will be formed to-day, It ie scandalous to leave the couatry without a m'niatiy at the present moment. ‘The cowardly retreat of Lord John Russell, who, like @ raseally commander, was the first man to leave his ship when be thought she was sinking, is still the theme @f universal reproach. Lord John is running the gaunt- het of public opinion, and the nine-tails fall heavily on Bis back. The Queen has expressed her entire disappro- Bation of his conduct, and his former colleagues have, in @pequivocal terms, expressed their indignation at his Might. Personal ambition is the reason given for his con- @act. Jn the House of Lords, last night, the Duke of Newcas- tle gave him the lie, 1t is a strong expression, bat a pe- Fusal of the Duke's speech will conviace you ti eerrect one.

In the midst of weather so intensely cold that not only the artificial sheets of water in the Bois de Boulogne and the basins in the TuMeries are frozen over, but all the leading thoroughf.«res of the capital are converted into one glassy substance, on which man and beast shoot for- ward or backward io positions more involuntary than graceful, there is still one subject which imparts som? degree of calidity to the nipped up and frosen frame— namely, an English Ministerial crisis, I told you in my last with what anxiety Frenchmen were looking acros the channel; with what—may I not call it enviou pleasure?—they were on the qué vive for each alternation of the approaching Parliamentary discussion ; and how, like the old hunter whose sprung sinews and stiffened joints consigned him to the mute inglorions ease of the straw yard, while horse and hound and bounding steed woke the morning echoes witbin aggravating ear-shot— they pricked their ears, and sent forth sundry ebulli- tions significant of the secret longings of their hearts. But now that a species of revolution is im progress—the only one which England happily indulges in—namely, a cabinet crisis, al! Paris is rubbing its hands with as much excitement as if the physical temperature did not afford it sufficient occupation in this respect without such poli- tical addenda. The long and repeated conferences which Lord John Russell was known to have had with the Emperor during his very recent visit to Paris, induce the belief that the result of these was not without its effects on the ualoek- ed-for step which tlat most important member of the British cabinc’ has just taken, and even that he might have prepared Napoleon, in some measure, for a decision which seems to have taken all the political world by surprise. Lord John Russell’s cordial testimony to the sincerity of the French alliance, from, as he himself termed it, his personal experience in the French capital, has, however, relieved the public mind from any notion of achange of policy, and but one idea now prevails that, happen what will inthe English ministry—and nothing but a complete dissolution is expected—the war itself will still continue a great fact. This assurance is of great importance, morbidly alive as the French are to any violent changes of policy consequent on the change of men in the English governement. ‘The Duke of Cambridge, who was expected to reach the English embassy from Marseilles at an early hour on Saturday, and when great preparations had been made to welcome him with due honor, did not arrive till 8 o’clock in the evening, and then, too much fatigued to make his appearance before the very brillant assemblage sollected to meet him. Almost all the members of the Imperial Mi- nistry were there; bevides—and it is here only that this is seen—many of the old nobleese, who, like contrary cur- rents, mingle with the new regime only to separate themselves the more; and likewise, the chief English families who are now visiting or residing here Great was the Lowy! sehr’ of these, that the grandson of George the Third, fresh from the fielda of Alma and Inkermann, not to menticn that awful night ia the Bay of Balaklava, when consigned to the Retribution, he ho- vered on the very threshold of a het grave, did not appear; but the ambassador, Lord Cowley himeelf, en- tirely withdrew (rom the company, and by his own’ so- licitation evinced his anxiety that his royal guest should keep in a state of repose.

A better hearted man never breathed; but whether that head, desuded at so early an age of every vestige of hair, and #hose temples are none of the brosdest, carries brains enongh to regulate his fiery im pulses, Lam not so sure. He is understood to be full of d bitterness about the manner in which, from inving to end, the campaign has been managed—to cowpla'n that the expedition itself to the Crimea was an insavity—a complaint which he recorded at the pre- liminary council of war; to protest that the acthorities at home, s8 than those abroad, have been reckless of the soldier's lite, and that a brilliant army has bee: starved, (xposed, aud cut to pieces, from sheer inca. pability. ; there is au fond among Parisians—an innate prestig favor of adcestral antiquity—of @ real bona Jide, old standing prince of the blvod; and, as an instance of thi: it fs curicus to observe the different manner in which the return of the Eaglish prince is trested to that of the French; for the following day Na- polecn Bonaparte, son of Prince Jerome, also entered Paris. ‘here is no dowbt there was some truth in the rumor that old Jerome and hig son, notwithstanding @ distance of some 3,000 miles, had contrived to hit upon a bone of contention; and that Prince Napo'eon had not intended to have sought ahel- ter in his father’s houve after the dangers of ‘the im- m'nent deadly breach; but the®Euperor’s peace mak- ing offices have been ‘understoo! to preva, Th) Bm. peror has reserved to h'mself, as you know, the right of naming his successor from among the imperial prioces of bis house: and a very chief reason, it {e believed, for his making this reservation, was the quarrelsome, over- bearing, gra+ping. and unprincipled character of Je- rome, ¢x-King of Westphalia, and all his bouse..

Prussia has not yet adhered to the treaty of the ‘2d December. She claims the right to send a plenipo: tentiary to the con’erences at Vienna, No one has any faith in these conferences. I doubt if they will take place. Austria has asked all the minor States of Ger many to join her in case of awar. The Austrian gov ernment sent » confidential despatch to them all, re- questing them todo so, even if Prussia obtained a ma- jority at the Diet. There is a crisis coming on at Frankfort. Austria is showing her teeth, but it is high time she should bite. A telegraphic despatch from Frankfort says that the Austrian proposal for calling out the federal contingents bas been rejected, but that another joint motion, to pre- pare for war, has been accepted. This is quite ia the German metaphysical school. It has been rejected, yet it has not been rejected! The general opinion Is, that Prussia is standing on the edge of a precipice, and runs ® risk of toppling over Once Austria draws the sword all Germany will follow the young Emperor Francis Joseph.

If it be put to any impartial man to say, after havi read the particulars of this transaction, whether he h rather stand before the people of England and the judg- ment of history asthe Duke of Newcastle or as Lord Jobn Russell, not one man in «a hundred would hesitate to choose the fate of a Minister who has fallen at his it, surrounded by his colleagues, rather than that of litician who has terminated his official career by ht, and sheltered that flight under a mi: P tion. The one may have been unfortunate in the selec- tion of his instruments, but the other has been insincere in bis dealings with his friends. The Duke have carried his candor and disinterestedness to a fault, but that is a fault ot which Lord Jobn Russell can never be accused. The Duke of Newcastle has been unsaceessful in the task of restoring order and efficieney to military and administrative departments so rotten and faulty a8 ours have turned out to be; but no one has impugned his zealous industry in the public service, his gener sity, or his honor, When we took the liberty in the auturan to advert to the prolonged absence from town of the court and the majority of the Ministry, it was because we knew that the Dake of Newcastle and Lord Clarendon were left almost alone to bear the whole burden of the war, though it now turns out that Lord Jobn Rassell was still evincing his profound eolicitude for the success \y, of the coali- pos a fig! ig felicity enjoyed such @ cabinet, and on t) fect of such poms Q these; but, in truth, if the history of Lord Aberdeen’s ad- ration be ever faithfully recorded, it will be found that the disunion of the Cabi * due to one cause ovly—the petty but incessant a’ ts of Ruteoll to eupplant the chief minteter position over his colleagues.

Brighter Prospects of the British Crimean Army. * __ [From the London Times, Feb. 2 ] ‘The public mind has been so occupied of late with the deplorable condition of our army, with the defects of our military system, and with the imperative demand for improvement in the organization of those depart- ments through which war is conducted, that the pros- its ofthe war itself have been comparatively over- jooked. The sufferings of the troops before Sebastopol have ro completely and so ‘coe olf engrossed our at- tention that we have almost ceased to inquire into the progress of the siege, avd appear to have assumed that he effectual prosecution of offensive operations was virtually beyond our power. From the letter, how- ever, of our correspondent, which we yesterday pub- lished, it will be seen that to the virtues of heroic cour- age and indomitable endurance the British solder adds thore of unilicching confidence and neverfailing hope. On the very scene of all that misery which bas recentl} been so vivid y depicted, there actually prevailed a uni- versal belief that ourarms would be triumphant, and that Sebastopol, so long and so fraitiessly beleagured, must infallibl odd before the valor and resolution of the al- lies. ‘There is no doubt,” says our correspondent, “no despondency out here.

It may be hoped, therefore, that both armies will scon be im a position to re commence operations; and great progrees had been already made, at the departure of our last advices, in bringing up guns, mcrtars and emmunition stores to the front. Snpporing, however, that we should find ourselves re- lieved from the necessity of comparative inaction, what Fould de ths prespects of the siege? On a question which bae proved itseif so embarrassing it would be vain to affect any “ecilca views, but reasons undoubted- Jy exist for attaching some value to the confidence which soldiers rem to imbibe from the spirit of their profes- sion ilrelf. Sebastopol bas many advantages, but it haa some lisadvantages. It is not a town regularly fortified with ramparts of masonry, requiring the tedious a; proaches of the sap and the concentrated fire of breac! ing Latteries, The principal defences of the Russians consist in their lines of earthworks, and it isa maxim in military engineering that earthworks cannot stop good infantry—such ipfantry, in fact, as tho alhed armies could send to the assault. A perpendicular wall of stone must necessarily be breacned before it will admit an attackiog colamn; but earth. works, in order to ttand, must unavoidably be made with a certain slope, which slope troops find little difi- culty in ascending. The concition of success here in that the fire from these works should be so far subdued previously to the assault as to give the solders a fair chance of coming to close quarters with the and if, therefore, this object can be tack may bé made with w prospect of decisive results, Hitherto the fire of the Rusrisns bas been superior to our but, if by means of more powerful artill adi tageously placed the eilies could obt: cendancy, there ie nothing unreasouable in anticipating that the hag ogee of the Alma and Inkermann may do the rest of the work.

They have even been described as in want of am- , though itis bard to reconcile aush a nappoai- ton with the activity of their batteries. Nevertheless, their communications with the interior must have be- come very difficult, and there must be a limit somewhere to the stores of even so prodigious an arsenal as Sebasto- pol bas proved. As far as mere numbers if all our trcops returned as effective are really in fit condi- tion for the work of am assault, there can be no doubt but what, in conjunction with our allies, = we could easily bring as many men into the field as the operation would mor can there be much question about the relative prowess of such soldiers, when fairly tried. To describe the cal situation of affairs concisely, we may say that hitherto the lines on which the defence of ‘topol rests have not been assaulted, because, hay to various causes, we have not been strong h in artillery to accom: plish the preliminary work of subduing thelr fire. Great exertions have recently been made to increase the power of the Allies in this ienportans respect, and, if they should prove effectual, the result may be followed at any moment by ® more material success, Of course, even a successful attack upon the lines would not insure the immediate or entire capture of the town; but a lodg- ment effected in such a ition would g.ve us immense advantages, and weuld vrebably enable us, with svch » co-operation as inay be anticipated from’ Sir Elmund — to pursue to good | mm my the work of victory. ‘e can only express our fervent hopes that such an event may be at hand; but, in our ignorance of the real strength of the enemy, and after the experience we have had of war's contisgencies, it is impossible to venture upon anything like precise speculation.

Forced Demonstrations of Loyalty—Superftuous Valor— The Captain General’s Speech to the Havana Merchants —Onject of the Visit of the British Flect t0 Cuba—Re- turn of the Boscawen to Europe—The French Fleet, de. Last evening, after intimation that it would be ac: ceptable, the merchants of Havana gathered upon the Plaza de Armas and sent a deputation to the Captain General ,with offers of service, pledging ‘lives, fortune ‘and sacred honor’ to the State, should danger or tebel- Non get tos head in the land. It is so much wasted breath, for not one of the crowd would be trusted, un- less a “faithful bayonet’’ was in his rear, for use in- stead of ornament, to prick him onward. The Captain General received the proposition most graciously, and gave them thanks, in the name of the good Queen; but most kindly relieved the anxiety of the people brought to his notice in such interesting form, by informing them that there would be no necessity for extraordinary de- mands upon their loyalty.

The ship of the line Boscawen is to leave port the first of next week to return across the Atlantic, having pro- duced the effect desired in this quarter of the world, where there is no Sebastopol worthy of attention. We shal! see some of our French neighbors econ; but it is tobe hoped that no United States vessels will appear here, for it will consist more with national honor to send them where they will be of no service—to treat with Indians or to bombard villages.
