Omer Pasha’s dismissal had been agitated at Constantinople, in consequence of the fall of Kars; but it was finally concluded that his services eould not be dispensed with. The trath is that this general, like the garrison of Kars, has been sacri- fieed by the corruption and imbecility which prevail im the councila of the Porte.

The Board of Councilmen held another meeting last night, but nota single paper worth noticing was pasted npon. The Board adjourned till Friday evening.

Count Esterhazy is said to have had an inter- view with Count Nesselrode; but, according to as it can be ascertained, seema warlike, Prince Menschikofi—the champion of the Muscovite or war party—whese disgrace was erroneously reported some time since, has been appointed to the command of Cronstadt, with two Sebas- topol veterans to serve as his lieutenants. Oo the Continent the impression prevails that the Baltic will be this year the chief theatre of war. Immense preparations are being made in England, gunboats built, men of war equipped, marines levied for a vigorous campaign. Nor is Russia backward. Four complete armies are concentrated at different points between Fin- land and the Gulf of Riga. Cronstadt is filled with artillery of the most effective and modern build. New levies are still being raised in the North. With these exertions, and the help of a six months winter, the Russians feel confident in being able to repel the threatened attack. It is not improbable, in fact, that the whole arena of ighting may be changed this season. From, eports of allied engineers which have not been made public—though their contents have leaked out—it is thought anlikely that the operations in the Crimea will be prosecuted with any particular vigor. The Allies will hold the ground they occupy between the bay of Sebuetopol aud the bay of Balaklava; but may not advance into the interior, or trouble the Russians in the northern forte, In Georgia and Asia Minor, on the contrary, it is likely that hostilities will be prosecated on anextended scale. At the present moment, Asia Minor is practically lost to Turkey. The fail of Kars, involving the fall of Erzeroum, bas opened the road to the Caspian aad to Persia; the Russians will not allow it to be closed without a severe struggle, especially now that the capture of Herat has effected a breach in the inner defences of British [adia. Mouravieft is said to be a man of great ener- py; the chances are that the spriag will flod bim pouring down through Persia towards Ou bulwith a powerful army. Should he do so, England's danger wonld not only divert ber sttention from the late seat of war, bat would weaken ber interest in the Baltic operatioas likewise. The reduction of Cronstadt, follow- ed by the occupation of St. Petersburg— which is the utmost the moet sanguine frieads of the Allies ceuld expect from snecess in tuat quarter—would hardly repay England for border war in Indie, the fasurreetion of the countless millions who know no other power than the Governor-General, and the los: of territory and prestige which it has taken cea- turies to acquire. ln England, a new loan is spoken of—thir- millions the sam.
