THE MASSACRE AT HANGO. WE published yesterday, in a second edition, the official account of the brutal and cowardly massacre oil= English boat's-crew, at Hugo, by the Itrunians., We did not trust ourselves to commast es tint outrage before we received the official Seiteent. Prom the commencement of the Oriental difficulties we proclaimed the necessity of driving back Ind kinibling Russia upon broad general principles, sad we did not need to have our unmitigated hostility to Nat Power envenomed by an isolated act of barbarity. We wish England to execute justice upon Russia net under the impulse of pertonal exasperation, but in a spirit of stern but calm end passiooless equity. Be siden--barbuous though we know many of the hordes that have been armed against us by the Curt to be, and ruthlessly unscrupulous though many of his generals are—we were determined to wait till it should appear whether the massacre might not haws been perpetrated under extenuating circumstances. There had bees a silly story, boastfully put in circu lation by some English journals, about the cleverness er some steamer, which was said, under the pretext et restoring the coach of the Governor of Hertch, to have taken soundings of the Straits. It seemed pos sible that this story might have reached Russia, and led to the issue of orders that no Englislr flag of truce should be received, and that some rash neglect of form on the part of the English boat's-crew might have provoked the enemy to fire upon them. It is now, however, apparent that the butchers have had no such palliation for their act; that it has been at owe a gross violation of the positive law of nations and of the dictates of common humanity. The facts of the case are as follows :—The boat was despatched to set on shore some Finnish sailors —Russian subjects—who had been captured, but ordered to be set at liberty. The Cossack—the wee' from which the boat was despatched—kept standing off and on at about two miles and a half from the landing-place. Midway between the ship and the shore a flag of truce was hoist. d on board the boat. It was is the option of the &miens to have refused to allow the flag of truce to approach the shore, and to have warned the boat off in the usual manner recognised by the laws of war. Instead et doing this they placed their troops in ambuscade far the purpose of luring the kat'a-crew into their power. The arms of the Englishmen were kept in the bottom of the boat, un loaded. The officers landed unarmed, aloes with the prisoners they were to liberate. Thes e and not till then, an overwhelming force of Russian sot.l diers broke forth from their place of concealment: The person who acted as their commander had not only seen the flag of truce as the boat approached the shore, and after the officers and their prisoner a hurtled . ; but he understood and replied to the ex planet ions gives him in English and Finnish. Yet by his orders hie numerous soldiery deliberately shot down the English THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1855. THE GRAND ATTACK ON THE • ......----------'_ Ames and the primmer's—their own fellow-sub jfisersts.n They nmextenpirneozdedboatot. pour in Theysaumurdueernotry found dragged ashore one of the crew whom they aliv Iserchissly 'bayonetted Wm on the pier. Th ( e i ther ev idently was to leave ne witness of their . guilt— Raglan or 'English subject—alive to aeyed , it, Cinemas alone escaped by feigning to belga, and thus the civilised world has received tidings of this premeditated and cowardly massacre of unarmed men, by a force who far ontnumbered them, and who by their ruthless attempt to ensue secrecy have betrayed their conscious guilt. Whenwe take into account the high character of the English officers who have perished by the hands of these cowardly savages, we cannot blame the universal thrill of fierce, revengeful indignation that at this moment pervades the English public. It is not to be desired that the English Government should act from mere vindictive motives, but it is their duty to inflict such punishment upon these violators of every prin. oiplo of law and humanity as will effectually deter them from a repetition of the offence. it is possible that there may not be wanting among us some to re monstrate, with the cant of a pesudo-humanity,agaiost the stern retribution that is due to an outraged nation. We remember that in the time of the war in Chins, when it was reported that the Chinese were poison ing their wells, Mr. Ourtirrose defended them, in his place in Parliament, for so doing. But to such puling councillors Government must turn a deaf ear. The massacre at Hango is merely a repetition, on a smaller scale, of the massacre at Sinope. And the Russian officer of high rank who was detected in the Crimea in the act of instigating his men to butcher the wounded soldiers of the Allied Armies acted upon the same atrocious principles as the commanders who gave orders for these two wholesale massacres. By their treatment (or reported treatment) of the pri soners of war who have fallen into their hands, the Russian authorities have been endeavouring to gain credit for carrying on the war with humanity. Bat Sinop. and Mango show that in reality they act systematically with a rabid thirst for blood. Notwithstanding their anxiety to defer to the public opinion of Europe, and affect a humanity which they do not possess, their innate ferocity will at times break forth. If they are thus unable to conceal their atrocious dispositions from that civilised Europe of whose judgment they stand in awe while acting under its view, what must be their conduct in Poland, in tho Caucasus, in every scene of their wars and usurpations from which the prying eye of European inquiry is shut out? The atrocities of the Russians of which Europe obtains cognisance are but isolated samples of their syste matic brutality, where they believe themselves to be unwatched. They are the common enemies of mankind and must be treated as such. The prin cipal blame rests upon their Government, which commands and sanctions such horrors, but the entire population which can lend itself to the perpetration of these atrocious injunctions abates in the guilt. Reasoning and remonstrance are out of the question with such barbarians ; they must be fright and into the observance of the laws of justice and humanity. The people of England, in • mood of ' stern resentment, are watching to see how their rulers are to act; and woe to these rulers it they do mot elevate themselves to the requirements of the suasion. The punishment of the Russians must be such as contemporary nations, and all poAterity, shall feel to be adequate to their crime. This is demanded by the people of England in the name of outraged humanity, as the only means of pre venting war in the nineteenth century becoming as ruthless and demoralising as when it was waged by a TILLY or an Arru.a.—Daily Newt.

They were ander the immediate command of Lieutenant-Coloast Campbell, of the 90:h Regiment.

Ti ks working parties were supplied in certain proporti on by nearly every regiment ot the Light Division. Al the troops not thus employed remained under sn in reserve. Half-past six.—Four incendiary rockets have j u t taken their flight fro.n the Victoria Redoubt tower* the town. They are the signal for the starting of the attacking columns. Now the French, if they exhibit in the contest the same ardour as they showed wits moving towards it, will, in their immense strength, • carry all before them, and no one doubts that * will do so. Some, over sanguine, think that Sebes , topol itself is in their possession ; yet every spews ; whether among the reserved troops in the bats* among those assembled in rear of them, or smog those on the more elevated sites who have come kg Balaklava or elsewhere, feel anxiety, knowing how alert and ingenious in devices is the enemy to be coped with. The prevailing idea is that the Mamelon redoubt is deeply mined ;and that - , even if taken, sa explosion may cause a catastrophe to the first ma. pants. All eyes are directed towards it. But whit. ever the thoughts and anxieties ot the spectators, little of such feelings seemed to find place in the minds of the combatants. At the signal of tie first rocket they were all formed, and at the third rocket were seen on the right above Careening Bay, sad along the advanced trench at the foot of the %Mot —a living wall The fourth rocket bad no noon taken its flight than the parapets were cleared. For. ward went the lints, throwing out a cloud of akin miehers. The Russian trenches on the side of tie Mamelon Vert were climbed over. trench after trend, apparently without any opposition. Then the steep sides of the hill were mounted. The French were seen in three cslumne, one ascending towards the west face, another towards the east face of the works, whits the third moved directly up towards the ha fronting the Victoria Redoubt. Bar the whole oodles of the hill was soon covered with their skirmishers. After one discharge from some of the heavy glue, the Russians got into the embrasures and upon the parapets, and fired a few shots trout their rifles, with. out, seemingly, doing any execution ; but the volley' item the skirmishers, or else the consciousness of the inutility of resistance, compelled them quickly to retire. Their force was evidently small. They had not expected an attack at such an hour, by daylight. Nothing could be finer than the " dub with which the French troops ascended the steep slope,—a natural glacis,—towards the parapets. The Russians were evidently staggered. At first, the Malakhoff batteries and the Ryden offired nosh tempt to impede the progress of the assailants. Whether the tremendous fire which was poured against them from the English batteries of both the Left and Right attacks restrained them, or whetbee they were bewildered at the nature of the assault, they scarcely fired a shot while the first columns ci French mounted the hill. Presently the French wets swarming into the embrasures, mounting on the parapets, and descending into the work. Shortly afterwards the Russians were observed escaping by the way leading from the redoubt towards :he lull crowned by the ruins of the Malakhoff Tower sod the numerous batteries around it. Here, to all appeals once, occurred the grand inistaks, which subsequently entailed a great 1• as of life among our Allit a. The arrangements had been male for taking and securing the large redoubt on the Mamelon hill, but it wee not intended to go further at that moment. Saab, however, was the impetuosity of the troops, such the excitement of the officers and men at their first so cess, that they could not resist the pursuit of the Rs. , sians on the one hand, cr the attempt to storm the Malakhoff itself. Between the Malakhoff and Mr melon hills is a deep saddle-like hollow. Across this saddle, dipping down towards the right of the Ms. lakhoff hill, is the ordinary way of communicsfica between the Marine suburb and M.melon. In dig direction the Russian troops took their flight, sod these and their pursuers were soon lost to sight be hied the ridge. But the great body of the French troops moved straight across the saddle and mounted the Malakhoff hill. The Russians, aware of their danger, poured down heavy fire upon the wail• ants from the batteries, and apparently brought field pieces so as to take them in flank. In spite of these. the French still mounted and at last were seen to reach the abattie work drawn around the hill. So short a distance was this from the lower tier of bat• teries that the Rut/sirens could no logger depots, guns sufficiently to bear upon them, and stand. tog upon the parapets they were seen to throw large stones, besides keeping up a heel musketry fire, against the French. The Frail had evidently met with a difficulty they gag not conquer; they were observed to be looking on all sides for an opportunity of advancing, but yet were unable to move on. Presently a swain octet of their dangerous posiiion seemed to girt these and they retired back towards the Monition. lb Russians by this time had assembled their rem' forcements behind the Malakhoff works, and, es the French were moving along the dip of the soldk towards the Mamelon, these troops were seen to come g up arns i t n Malakhoff Tower within range of the guns of the works arouid the o n ur de A n i a l e ie m s. ass it p t o h u e rin sa g m a e t h i e m a c vy th fl e an vca kiog e notwithst nding th(etheshoKwerrniol°fffshßedllstisonnd), rackets from our batteries kept up a galling fire against the French as they retired.
