ENGLISH AND FRENCH CJIARACTER,
Aa I am a mere looker on in Europe, and hold
mvself as much as possible alool from ita quar
reU and nreiudices, I feel aomethine like one
overlooking a game, who, without any great
skill of hia own, can occasionally perceive tbe
blunders of much abler players. This neutral
tty of feeling enables me to enjoy the contrasts
of character presented in this time of general
peace; when tbe various people of Europe, who
have so long been sundered by wars, are brought
together, and placed side by side in this great
gathering place of nations. No greater con
trast, however, is exhibited, than that of the
French and English. Tbe peace has deluged
this gay capital with English visitors, of all
ranks and conditions. They throng every
place of curiosity and amusement; 11 the pub
lic gardens, the galleries, the cafes, saloons,
thratrea ; always herding together, never asso
ciating with the French. The two nations are
like two threads of different colore, tangled to
gether, but never blended.
In facr, they present a continual antithesis,

that firiug was still going on, and that the true

that they worird never attempt to place any

the sortie was lateWjnade This, is an advan

about COO yards from tha Malakoff Tower and
about 100 yards from the enemy's rifle pits,
which are scattered more or leas numerously

marksmen in these latter posts are oontinoally
on the alert, and keeD everv one else on the
alert also. They fire on the slightest sound, or
at the most tuning indication of an enemy s

by tbe covered ways, some of the angles are nt
oessarilv a little open. o that at two Or three

rything was at-onceso warnxe anu jeiwpL-auc-ful.

upon the spectacle oeiow. " neu an m

also busy round and inside he French trench,
ehffasd intht same melancholy duty; while
Am idlera on both aides, of whom there were
considerable number, strolled about, picking
their way among masses or atone, pieces oi snen,
piles of roartd shot, dead Rassians in everv at-
ritudB of mortal Bony, torn sana nags, gaoiooa,
facines, bayohetBi broken ' firelocks, thousands
of ffattehed bullets, unused cartridges, and all
the litter of a scene of combat. The Russian
officers were well ami neatly dressed in long fine
great-coats, white oron belts, and swords. Two
or three had qoitaavirofusion of handsome rings
on their. finger. All seemed to speak French
well j onM were rery friendly and chatty, offcr
ing.oar own and the French officers cigars, while
others were polite, but very grave and reserved,
bowing to the Allied officers when they passed,
but.neter. entering into conversation or appear
ing to pay the least attention to anything but
the duties in which they were immediately en
gaged. One Ronsian officer, conversing with a party
of ours, said tht tha large 68 pounder in the
right of Gordou's battery had done the Mamelon
works considerable injury, but they hoped soon
to repair it Another asked, with the utmost
simplicity, "When the Allies were going away?"
the question waa at first not understood, and
he repeated it, asking when we intended to raise
the siege and leave the Crimea? One of our
officers replied that we nevvr intended quitting
until Sevastopol was levelled, upon which the
Kossian officers smiled, and the same one who had
before spoken said there was very little chance
of oar doing that. The Russian soldiers were
both dirty and ragged, but beyond thia defect
in their appearance were well enough. They
were very fine young men, and all in robust
health, with round ruddy faces, on which was
a perpetual grin at everything our men did or
said. Their uniform was a short thick great
coat of grey friese, with waist belts of the same
material, round flat saps, and tight leather boots;
in fact, just tbe uniform of the men we fought
at Inkermann. None bad the helmet or other
equipments pf tbe Imperial Guard. The stretcb-

.t ,.f iUm tarl had been removea
and that- therefore the brief pace would soon
terminate. Impressed with thia notion. I bur
ried in without further loitering. a tf
of truce were hauled down. I should be left
alone in open ground, in the midt of a cross
firo from batteries and riflemen of both friends
and enemies, a perfectly novel situation doubt
less, but one wb:ch also had its own peculiar
disadvantage-, I therefore turned up in the
direction of oor lines, so as to pass atony i
front of our batteries, and came out upon the j
Worontow road. The ground over which I
passed was rough and very stony, without a
sign of vegetation boyond a few violet and cro
cuses, here and there. Sometimes it was verv
rocky, with pits, quarries, and small cairns of
atones the very model of good skirmishing
gronnd, but the last one to choose to conduct a
soige on. I was quite surprised at the extreme
distinctness with which every one of our de
fences could be seen by the enemy. From the
picket honse in rear of our lines it is only with
mufth diftiAultv that onr trenches can be seen
blovr us, but from the Russian side the profile
of every battery shows clear and sharp upon
the bill sides.. As 1 came nearer to our nnes
the tokens of the contest and the prodigal man
ner in which tbe enemy used their ammunition
almost hid the ground. In places where there
were hollows in tbe earth,, tbe shot and pieces
of shell had rolled into them in such a manner
as to auite fill- them level with the surface.
a. - . . ..
Everywhere in fact, along the whole extent oi
oar works, the shot lay in thousands and thou
sands, ooveribg the ground in such a manner
as to make it seem of a deep brown color. An
immense proportion of the Russian shells have
never exploded at all, and there they lay just
as they issued from the gun. Within about a
hundred yards of oar works, the ground is quite
cat to pieces by tbe deep shot farrows, while
the bails themselves, comine in contact witn
others on the ground, have shivered into little
fragments in all direction. In the lower parts
of the Woronaow road, below Gordon's Battery,
the shot and shells have rolled down the hills
and almost choked the way
After this tour 1 returned on tbe right attack,
and waited there still the last stragglers of the
enemy bad gained tbe shelter of their lines.
Instantly, tbe Russians hauled down their flags
ef truoe ; we did the same. The snap shots of
the riflemen began on both sides, our right at
tack fired a shell, the Mamelon replied, and
then everything went on as it has been for tbe
last six months

ma 1 tuetlitation. lney are therefore more scial
and commnriicative, more fond of eoaiety. and
cf places of public resort and amusement. An
Englishman is more reflectivo in bis habits. lie
lives in the world of his own thoughts, and
seems more self-existent and self independent.
He loves tbe quiet nf his own apartment; even
a hen abroad, he in a manner makes a littlo
solitude around him, by his silence and reserve :
he moves about shy and solitary, and as it were
buttoned op, body and soul.
The French are great optimists: tiiey seise
upon every good as it flies, and revel in the
passing pleasure. The Englishman is too apt
to neglect the present good, in preparing against
the possible evil. However adversities may
lower, let the sun sbioe but for a moment, and
forth sallies the mercurial Frenchman, in holi
day dress and holiday spirits, gay as a butterfly,
as though his sunshine were perpetual ; but let
the eun beam never so brightly, so there be but
a cloud in the horizon, the wary Englishman
ventures forth distrustfully, with his umbrella
in his hand.
The Frenchman ha a wonderful facility at
turning small things to advantage. No one
can be gay and luxurious on smaller means ; no
one requires less expense to be happy. lie
practises a kind of gilding in bis style of living,
and hammers out every guinea into gold Uaf.
The Englishman, on the contrary, is expensive
in his hakits, and expensive in bis enjoyments.
He values every thing, whether useful or orna
mental, by what it costs. He has no satisfac
tion in show, unless it be solid and complete.
fiVery tnmg goes witn mm oy the square toot.
Whatever display he makes, the depth is sure
to equal the surface.
The Frenchman's habitation, like himself, is
open, cheerful, bustling, and noisy. He lives
in a part of a great hotel, with wide portal,
paved court, a spacious dirty stone staircase,
and a family on every floor. All is clatter and
chatter. He is good humored and talkative
with his servants, sociable with his neighbors,
and complaisant to all the world. Any body
has access to himself and his apartments; his
very bed-room is open to visitors, whatever may
be its state of confusion ; and all this, not from
aay peculiarly hospitable feeling, but from that
communicative habit which predominates over
his character.
The Englishman, on the contrary, ensconces
himself in a snug brick mansion, which he has
all to himself; locks the front door ; puts bro
ken bottles along tbe walls, and spring guns
and man traps in his gardens ;. shrouds him
self with the tecs and window-curtains; exults
in his quiet and privacy, and seems disposed to
keep out noise, davligbt, and company. His
house, like himself, has a reserved, inhospitable
exterior ; yet whoever gains admittance is apt
to find a warm heart and warm fireside within.

a pect of alT-iird in the advanced work was that
ot serious idlenes. The men in it were laugh
ing and chatting in under tones. Very many
were wrapped up in their great coats, fast a
leep. I walked down the work, looking at th
marks which the place presented of the late des
perate attack. In one or two places tbe gabions
had been almost destroyed, and nearly all the
sand-hagi in the parapet knocked away. Those
which bad fallen inide had. been replaced.
Tfco outside were nearly just as the enemy
bad left them. In one part of the trench were
tbe bodies of a Russian officer and four men.
The officer was the one who so distinguished
himself by his determined efforts to force an
entrance, and who, at last, unfortunately for
himself, succeeded. Outside tbe work, the dead
lay thicker, though with those in aod out not
more than 150 were there in all. On the right
the appearance of the French trench showed
that the struggle had been long and bloody.
Thia work had almost all been completely de
stroyed, and though every effort, during the two
nights which have since elapsed, has been
made to repair it, it is still in a rather dilapi
dated condition. Their gabions had been al
most pulled away, and were lying in heaps- in
work, as the canvass wa perfectly black with
blood. One or two were properly made stretch-
ers; tbe rest were strips of oanvass clumsily tied
to rough poles of wood. The bodies of nearly
all of the slain were those of fine young men.
One man in particular was of almost gigantic
stature. He wa an Albanian, and lay upon
his face with a hammer tightly grasped in one
hand, while at hi side waa a small leather
pouch, filled with the steel spikes used for spi
king guns. Two among tbe slam were not sol
diers, but wore the dress of the lower order of
Levantine Greeks, and were evidently taken
from the inhabitants of Sevastopol. Whether
the were volunteers, or whether, from want of
men, th Russians bav been compelled to press
the towns-people into their service, it is difficult
to say.
Between 300 and 400 dead lay about the
i rencb works, and it waa soma time before they
were all collected together ints on ghastly heap,
a little in advance of the parallel. Une man
was still alive. His thigh aeemed badly frao
tured, and he had remained thus for two whole
daya and nights on tbe spot where be fell, close
in sight of friends and enemies.
Tha Russian non-commissioned officer atten
ded tbe removal of th bodies, and for some re'
son or other perpetual altercations took place
over them, certain fatigo parti claiming two
or three corpse apparently a belonging to
them, while others aeemed to dispute their right
io-tuoit. Borne oi iuch altercation were Joua
Iront of the work, and in n long train up to the j and long, and bad to be settled by th interfer
Mftlftkoff Tower, just as .the Russians had '; ence of a superior officer. The non-com mission-
thrown them away in their flight. The enemy' j ed officers stood a little from the feet of the long

nearly as many more inside , the trench. The
French troops were now in strong force at this
post, probably between five and six thousand,
and many offioers were there, both English and
French, waiting till the flag of truce should be
raised to cross the trench and survey the ene
my's work.
Tbe time was to be between half-pat twelve
and two ; yet it was now past one, and no signs
of it appeared; on the contrary, the French and
Russian riflemen, from their respective conceal
ments, were firing away pretty sharply. A
gun also was fired from the Malakoff Tower,
arid went hissing through the air over Gordon's
Battery, but an instant afterwards a white flag
was hoisted on tbe Mamelon, which was replied
to by one in the advanced trench. A few mo
ment afterwards and all the batteries had
white flags flying, while a body of Russian sol
diers, 1,500, or 2,000 strong, straggled out from
tbe rear of the Malakoff Tower, and began de
scending the bill towards tbe middle ravine.
Stretchers were then brought up and the word
f iven to our men to carry out the bodies of tbe
ead Russians who lay inside the trench, and
the rest of the men, who were watching tbia
signal, instantly swarmed over the breast-work,
and began looking about tbem like boy- out ot
school. From some mistake or other, as oor
me showed themselves, two shots were fired

net durable : tbe English are more phlegmatic;
not so reaauy anectcu ; out capable of being
aroused to great enthusiasm. Th faults of these
opposite temperaments are. that th vivacity
of the French is apt to sparkle up and I frothy,
the gravity of the English to settle down and
grow muady. When the two characters can
be fixed in a medium, the French kept frttn ef
fervescence and the English from stagnation,
both will b found excellent.
This contrast of character may also be no
ticed in the great concerns of tha two nations.
The ardent Frenchman is all for military re
nown: he fights for glory, that is to say, for suc
cess in arms. For, provided th national flag be
viotorions, he cares little about the expense, the
injustice, or the inutility of the war. It is
wonderful how th poorest Frenchman will re
vel on a triumphant bulletin; a great victory
is meat and drink to bim ; and athe eight of a
military sovereign ..bringinghome captored can
non and captured standards, he throws up bis
greasy cap in th air. and ia ready to jump out
of bis wooden shoes for joy.
John Bull, on tbe contrary, is a reasoning,
consider! persdn. If hdoe wrong, it is in
the most rational way imaginable. II fights
because the good of the world require it. , fl
ia a moral person, and .make war noon hi

I crossed with tbe rest, and advanced beyond
the middle ravine, almost to the foot of the
small steep slope on which the Mamelon is erect
ed. As this work is likely soon to figure rather
importantly in our future proceedings, I survey
ed it with much curiosity and interest. View
ed in connection with our chances of captaripg
Sevastopol, the inpression which it produced on
my mind was anything but favorable. It isas 1
have said, a Btcep rooky eminence, about a mile
in circumference at the base, and about a quarter
of a mile at top. Its average height from our
advanoed parallel is at least 100 feet, its distance
from it about 300 yards, and ita distance from
the Malakoff Tower nearly double that. Seeing,
therefore, that it is nearer to our works than
the Russians, your readers will doubtless ask
with surprise why the allies never occupied it
themselves, especially as its summit entirely
command every part of tbe works round the
Malakoff Tower. But thia ia a question which
no on can answer and much more surpriss i
felt about our rmianeas in this particular her
in camp, where th importance of the position
is fully appreciated, than is ever likely to b ax
el ted at horn. Th only- reason that I bar
heard assigned V that the -place ws never
thought of, antil th enemy began to fortify it,
and that then, after the failure of th French at
tack, it would not have been wis to tienisvsM
farther. I The work, however, mast be stormed.

when the altercations took place, but at last
came to the conclusion that each reeiment had
sent a burying party for it own dead, and that,
therefore, the aforesaid party had a direct in-

from the trench in th direction of the Malakoff
Tower, until mid-way between it and our ad

dent to go ; even though a true wa existing,
neither party, of course, would allow th other to
examine its line minutely. Still I waa enabled
to get within a vary reasonable distance of the
tower, and certainly wa much struck by th
numoer, trngtn, ana solidity of tbe earth
work aroond it. All of them seemed in beau
tiful repair, and more like the permanent de
fence of a regular fortress than the mere efforts
of a sadden emergency. In front was a deep
unco, witn a strong eaevaux ae jrxtt of rough
pointed timber at the other side ; while above,
from tbe edge of th fuss t th slope of th
battery, were pointed stakes about three feet
high, set so closely in the earth as to appear at
a little distance like a dark band all around the
work. But with such a commanding point as
the Mamelon once in oar possession, the whole
ot these stockades aod the oattrie behind them
could be destroyed in a single day.
On tbe left of the Malakoff, but projecting 100
yaids in advance of it, wa the Redan. This is
now on of the moat tremendous of ail the Rus

ot guns, there being in this on battery, alone,

useu in wanare. i ui work, like Malakoff, ia
also defended by a broad deen ditch, with a

of the parapet.
From between the batteries a most admira
ble view could be had right down into the town
behind tbem. Even with th naked eye every
thing could h eQ quit distinctly ; but with a

could be mad. But th moat minute examina

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE POPE.
The correspondent of the London News gives
the following account of the narrow escape of
the Pope of Romerom a violent death.
In the cloister of the monastery of St. Agnes,
bis Holiness entertained his distinguished guests
at dinner, in a large hall on the first floor, and
subsequently admitted the pupils of the Propag
anda College to kiss his foot.
At this moment, about 150 persons were col
lected together around tbe Pope, when an aw
ful tremour manifested itself in tbe flooring,
which his liohness instantly perceived and eo
deavored to prevent his guests from being a-
larmed at, assuringtbem that it was the shock
of an earthquake; phenomenon with which
his residence as nuncio in South America had
rendered bim somewhat familiar. However,
before any farther conjectures were broached
tbe floor gaVe way,
" With hideous din and combustion dire,"
and Pope, prelates, cardinals, generals, soldiers
and scholars, were precipitated through it with
out order of precedence, amongst falling beams
and fragments of masonry. Cardinal Antenelli's
good luck saved bim alone, of all the cardinals
present ; he was near tbe window, to which be
clung for support, but his eminent brethren
Marini and Patrita, were severely injured in the
lall, as wa thtrrench Uenerai, and a great
number of tbe Propaganda pupil.
Pio Nono himself descended unhurt, and sit
ting in bis Papal chair; and wa extricated
from the wreck, amidst exclamations of miracola!
miracola I from all around. In gratitude for
such an escape, his Holiness forthwith invited
all who were able to follow him to enter the
-church, and with a loud voice intoned a thanks
giving to the Almighty, and afterward recei
red the sacramental benediction from Mocsig
or TitzanL
Meanwhile, the wounded were extricated from
the ruins, and conveyed to Rome in carriages
much to the surprise of the peaceful citisens
who had assembled at the gates, and were oon
ternated to see so many priest with their head
tied op. aome disabled jockeys were expected
from the steeple chase, but it waa supposed that
th Pope' excursion would be by no means so
dangerous. An Irish Propaganda pupil boasts
ot having Deen the nrst to suocor his Holiness,
tbe same youth who was reciting a congratula
torr sonnet to the Pope when the floor trave way,
and was consequently in immediate proximity
during the deccent to the regions below.
The great carpet, which had been spread over
the floor is supposed to have broken the Pope'
fall by rendering it more gradual, bat, to what
ever tutelar influence we may choose to attri
bute it, hi Holinesa certainly did escape safe
and sound, and th Roman municipal council
and senate, viewing it in tbe lieht of a nrodirv.
bav given orders for a devout thanksgiving to
tne xmmaoouiate conception aunng three days
