Yin =DAS, we learn from a telegraphic despatch, dated the 9th inst., Newel Samna intended to epee a heavy fire re the Redan—with what par pose is Rot stated, bat in all probability as prelimi nary to another assault. That the renewed assault will be enceessfal there can be no earthly doubt. It Is giving the Cesestandes of the Allied Forces in the Crimea credit for no more than average prudence to amass that the want of concert—the precipitation tt some quarters, and the delay in others—which trastrated the last attempt, will be remedied. No r eta it be too much to expect that a sulkiest number of troops will on this occasion be employed by the English. lucre being the case, the witness tone and tenor of neat private letters from the Boglish army waviness as t►at our countrymen in the Crimea are in a mood to wash and trample down any resistance that mere knows skill and power can offer to them. There would be no nee in giving publicity at present to the Utters we rake to. They are evidently written under s penman sense of indignation at the mismanage. meat by which so many valuable lives had been emorllised, and humiliation at the reverse which had befallen the British arms on a day consecrated in oar annals to victory. The gallant writers of Shea letters would at this moment be more pained than any other persons by the re production of the terms in which, in their burning exasperation, they expressed themselves with regard to the brave and venerable dead. They will find heir fitting place in a history of this war as charac• Wink expressions of a passing ebullition of feeling, bat now is not the time to dwell upon them. Enough that they convince no that a terrible retri bution will be inflicted to avenge imaginary die- grace. But while we thus confidently look forward to an assured victory, we cannot but shudder at the Thoughts of the price at which it will most probably be purchased. The resistance of the Russians to the coming assault will neither be less skilful nor less obstinate than their resistance to the last. The victory, though certain, cannot but be dearly taught. Aed while we are labouring under this im pression, the question will intrude itself, could not the object of the war be attained more certainly by omeasures less prodigal of life P We will not dogmatics on the subject, but there are 000siderations bearing upon it which cannot be over looked. The very highest military authorities of the day have repeatedly expressed a decided conviction that Sebastopol cannot be taken until the whole Ottleie of items./ has been completely Invested. If this be the case s every assault made before the investment is complete can only be regarded as a wanton wuta of life. Then, again, the question inwents itself,—Will the capture of Beliastopol alone *aloe to compel Ramis to accept of peace on Ilea terms as will justify the relinquishment of ' farther hostilities by the Allies P The lose of that ' fortress will doubtless be mortifying to the pride ef She Russian Government ; it will doubtless weaken She hold which that Government has upon the gabs and imagination of its subjects; bet will it so far weaken Russia as to disenable her to prosecute her clans of aggrandisement at the expense of bet neigh. boars, and to compel her finally to forego them P The object of the war in which we are now engaged de to ensure the integrity and independenee of the Ottoman Empire. But, while the Allinson pressing Russia hard within her own dominions in the Crimes Ire leans, both from Russian and other emcee, that Rassian army is threatening the Anatolian frontier et Turkey. The advanced posts of the Turks to wnie Han have been withdrawn, and their army ossesetrated around Enierouns ; and the Russian oom weeder in that quarter threatens an aggressive march against the retreating army. The Turkish army in Anatolia was, at the dose of last year's cam reign, in a condition bordering dingy upon utter diserpaintion. General WILLIAMS, we are told, is doing his best to re-organise it, but what soldier ci any note has he to back his efforts? While we are winning the pun in the Crimea we may be losing it in Anatolia, and making at best a drawn battle of the campaign of 1855. This might have been prevented had the hardy tribes of the Casson been stimulated to rise against the Amiens, and been supported by the Allies. An opportunity of doing this was offered when the Russians, panic atrieies by oar eneemeees in the Straits of liertoh and the Bea of Asti, destroyed and abandoned Anapa and their other remaining &rumens in Gr. assail. But the Allied Expedition was withdrawn immediately after these events, without say effort Oaring made to establish communications with the w eireassians who flocked to the shore to greet their liberators, or with the more remote moan: tan tribes over whom SCITAMYL is understood to cumin a paramount influence. The cossequenos is that the Russian troops, withdrawn from the Circas sian garrisons, have been sent to augment the Rus sian army on the frontier of Anatolia; and that the Orousians in and around Anaps are threatened and held is check by the Cossacks of the Black Sea. In tent upon the very problematical enterprise of at tempting to capture Sebastopol without oompletely investing it, the Allied Commanders have neglected an easy opportunity of finding the Russians work to do in another quarter, and of thus diminishing the domes that Russia can spare to ant against them in the Crimes. There is another circumstance that ought not to be overlooked. A report reached London a few days ago, which has not indeed been confirmed, but neither has it been contradicted. The report to which we allude was to the effect that hostilities between the Turks and Rosettes were on the eve of being rammed on the Bessarabian frontier. If this be true, an opportunity may soon be offered of testing Austrian good faith, which some statesmen still affect to rely upon. Will the Austrians:my in the Principalities permit the Turks to set freely against the Remises? or will they again throw im pedimenta in the way of each a movement 1 1 Ia the event of the Turks meeting with a sepals% sad their being followed by the Russians woes the Danube or the Prath, will the Aastriaas oesspel the latter to remain within their owls frontier f Is other words, will Austria keep her fair promises to the Porte? or will she practically slain the Prima panties es her own ? or will she play booty sad halve them with the Madam Am. the party journals throughout the land decry Mr. Romanies modem, and try to cutlets alarm by esserting, that should Mr. Roam= mends the Meuse to pen his resolution, there VW be seek/ ter Ns Qum. the Ma" eat the eleeloy M Lei DIEVE and his followers. Is oar political infancy this bugbear might have drives us to sower 'rider the Whig assess far protection; bat in the political mato rity that her been suddenly famed on us by the reve lation that oar pretended nurses are little better than impostors, and that we must help minelves and help them or starve, the oarklinrof Asia and party tenor is beard only with mirth or indignation. A DEBBY Administration woald be a calamity for the country, we admit ; bat it would be a far greater calamity to allow Ministerial delinquency to pass, aneoudemned. The one would be a little surface irritation, got rid of in a week or two, increasing the general health ; the other would be a fatal disease sore to bring on dissolution. Not to brand Ministerial delinquency is to make it the permanent rule of Government, and to enthrone incapacity. No Administration, however held' or mischievous—and the more feeble or mischievous the shorter time it would live—could be a tithe so loin claw as allowing every Administration to be formed under a conviction that whatever it might do no pu nishment could ever fall on it. Nature has wisely appropriated punishment to wrong-doing, and to gua rantee impunity for Ministerial delinquency is a vain attempt to rover.. her decrees, NUM to be followed by additional and greater evils. The public is aware of this, and is not to be tempted into submission to all the evils of permanent misrule by being threatened with the ghost of defunct Toryism. WV Court.

(FROM 017 R OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CAMP ABOVE SEBASTOPOL, Jun 30. The illness of Field Marshal Lord Raglan has been the subject which has principally occupied the thoughts of the army during the last few days. The sad event of his decease, which took pica on the evening of the 28th instant, his thrown all other occurrences in the shade. It made, perhaps, the deeper impression from following so shortly after the death of the Adjutant-General, Major- Geared Estcourt, and from being associated with the fact of the illness of the second in command, Sir George Brown, and the absence of so many of the general officers from the same cause. It has often been a matter of surprise that Lord Raglan preserved his health so well as he did. For a long time he passed so many hours of each day at the desk, scarcely ever taking exercise in the open air, and denying himself the ordinary proportionate amount of sleep, that it was feared his constitution would break under the effort. He remained in good health, however, while that of so many others around him failed. For several months past he has taken almost daily exercise on horseback, and the opportn aides have been frequent of observing how favour able an aspect the commander-in-chief still wore. The opinion holds ground very generally . that the ill-success of the combined attack against the enemy's works on the 18th of June was one of the causes which led to the illness under which Lord Raglan sank. The character of Lord Raglan as a essimander and strategist cannot be duly estimated yet. Even his amount of responsibility in the recent unfavourable assault is estimated very differently in various quarters; and in this, as in so many other oc earrences in the course of the campaign, how much of the event has been owing to "divid ed authority" is now known little more than by rumour and sur mise. History alone can unravel the true nature and relations of these matters. As to the qualities of Lord Raglan in private and social life, one expression of feeling alone exists: he was amiable and kind hearted almost to a fault, and his bearing and manners afforded a perfect specimen of the English gentleman. Some of the leading events of the last five days are noted in the following diary : June 27.—The state of health of Field-Marshal Lord Raglan is becoming the source of mach anxiety. It has been generally known in camp for some days past that the Commander-in-Chief was incapacitated from performing his arduous duties by an attack of illness, but it was reported that none of the symptoms were of a serious character. It is reported to-day that although the disease, which has been diarrhoea, without any symptoms of cholera, is in a great degree subdued, still there is so much general weak ness as necessarily in a person of Lord Raglan's age to cause serious alarm. The death of Major-General Estoourt is said to have affected him very deeply, and to have added to the previously existing physical de =le. Deputy Inspector• General Dr. Alexander n sent for to meet the other physicians in consultation. Dr. Prendergast, a physician of con siderable reputation is the army, is the medical attendant in ordinary or the Field-Marshal. Colonel Steele, the military secretary, has been suffering from an attack of cholera, bat is now con valescent. Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown still remains on board the Royal Albert at Hasatch Bay, and, it is said, is not regaining strength so fast , as was hoped. The chief of the staff, Lieutenant- General Simpson, being next in seniority, is perform ing the duties of the command-in-chief during the illness of Lord Raglan. Our allies have greatly added to the extent of the trenches on the right of the Mamelon. There is now a perfect labyrinth of covered ways and ap proaches on this side. They have carried them for ward considerably in advance of the old Rus sian approach which was made to connect the Kamptschatka redoubt on the one side with the Selenghicsk redoubt on the other side of the Careening Bay ravine. This approach was carried nearly in a straight line down the Mamelon bill, across the comparatively fiat ground between it and the Careening Bay ravine, across the ravine itself, and up the steep ascent to the redoubt on Mount Sapone. The French have established another parallel beyond this, so tar as regards the ground on the west side of the ravine, and have thus gained a considerable advance on that side towards the Careen ing port and the great roadstead. In the mat for ward part of this advanced parallel, a powerful battery, spoken of as the Marine Battery, has been constructed. The guns of this work control, in a great degree, the position formerly occu pied by . the vessels near Careening Bay, and would, to all probability, prevent a recurrence of the fire which the ships were previously able to direct against our allies in their movements on the right flank of the Mamelon Vert, and which told sith fatal effect as their columns advanced on that side in the attack against the Malakhoff works. Our allies are also very actively employed in the works on the east side of the Careening ravine. 'Large working parties are nightly engaged in changing the aspect of the batteries, and adding to the armament in the redoubt nearest to the ravine, which, when in the possession of the enemy, was called the Selenghinsk Redoubt. In the daytime the troops contrive to strengthen the parapets thrown up at night. In the second redoubt, that a little further to the east and more in advance, working parties are also employed. The Russians called this the Volbynia Redoubt : the French have named it "La Redoubt. Noire," from the dark mould of which the parapetsare formed, and in contra distinction to the former, "La Redoubts Blanche," which appears conspicuously white from the debris of the limestone rock of which its faoe chiefly (mo nists. It is said that two moister 21-inch mortars have arrived for oar allies, each requiring a fabulous amount of powder to project a shell so enormously heavy that it has to be lifted into the gun by a mechanical contrivance, and that these mortars are to be brought up to Mount Bapone, to be used against the large ships in the roadstead. No guns have been plead in the small 5-gun battery placed across the ridge near the extremity of the spur over the Careen ing port. On the projecting point of cliff, almost im mediately opposite, on the north side of the roadstead, just where what is sometimes called the Bay of Joker mann commences, is one of the enemy's batteries, which has been greatly strengthened of late. The battery is in a line with the cliff, and close to its verge. This work now mounts twelve guns of heavy calibre. Their line of fire is directed againat the works on Mount Sigma. The cliff on which the 12• gun battery is placed has considerably the advantage in elevation over the extreme spur to the east of Careen tug Port, the nearest point under its fire, and the small b-gun work, though it could be employed by the Bos sism% is not available therefore for French artillery ofslt is, however, occupied by a small body harpshooters. A frequent tire is kept up by the guns of the 12-gun battery before named against the French working parties in the Mount Ripon. redoubts. The large advanced battery in our right attack, destined to act against the shipping, has made great =; and a second battery, with the same object, commenced in another part of the works. The Russian line-of-battle ships and other vesrels are still moored in that part of the roadstead which is enclosed between a line drawn nearly northwards from the west side of the mouth harbour, and another imaginary line commencing half way between Fort Paul and Careening Bay, and finishing on the oppo site side, in Hollandia Bay. The limit on the west side of the south harbour is not an imaginary one, however ; it is formed by the line of sunken Teasels, or whatever tci ni m ay be b r e or th e nat Fort ure of tl las t i o e obstr wards tiation, strever - Dais. The ships would have to force through this obstreotiou to get into Artillery Bay. The two 3• lookers and the 2•deckers are still moored broadside ea to the Karabelnaia, and retain a threatening attitude against the Roden and Malakhoff works. The vessels of less pretension are chiefly congregated on the matt ids of the roadstead. A &et distance northward of the Roden 12-gun batter/ of which mention has been made above, and slat ilk of a gentle slope, is one of the Russian boo*. row& It oven a wide extant of gram& There - is a Ibis el tents on the father side.and several molt frequented roads paw as k.

Daring 'the LA few dye four or five very large mounds of earth have been raised at oar end of this burying ground. The chief part of the ground appears to IN oovered by graves of ordinary gre, above which is a perfect thicket of small black and white arouses, and among them a few monu ments of larger size and more imposing appearance. It has been suggested that the large mounds alluded to have been thrown up from some deep and swim's excavations made u receptacles of the dead, with a I view perhaps of obviating or limiting the further ex , tension of the graves upon the surface. The mounds. although consisting of dark mould, are very conspi °nous from their size. Some heavy 13-inch shells have been thrown from me of the mortar batteries on our left attack into the centre of the town. The clouds of smoke - cawed by their explosion have been observed to rise chiefly in the neighbourhood of the building, which, from its fine portico and row of columns lacing our posi-' tion, as well as its prominent site, forms one of the moat striking features in our view of the town. The hulloing itself, which has been variously designated by some as the Club-house, by others (although with out spire or belfry) as a church, hitherto has escaped uninjured. The palatial dwelling house, supposed to be the governor's residence, and by the side of which a flag not unlike our union jack is constantly flying, also remains intact. Although the temperature has been very mush lower, the thermometer not having indicated a higher degree in the shade than 70 F. during the last two or three days, cholera has perceptibly increased, as well as its ordinary secoompaniments of dyspepsia and diseases of the bowels. Ensign Fitzpatrick, of the 30th Regiment, died yesterday, after a short attack of this disease. This officer had served inde- fatigably during the winter as a volunteer, and had only a short time received his commission. The cases in the field-hospitals are said to be, with few excep tions, of a comparatively mild and manageable cha racter; and although the disease has become very widely diffused, both in the camps in front as well as in those in rear and on the plain, still nowhere has it assumed the alarming features of a serious out break. Perhaps the variable temperature, and other conditions of the atmosphere, may have induced the spread of these diseases. The long continued drought has been succeeded at last by rain. This morning it fell heavily, and showers have occurred at intervals during the afternoon. Heavy, dark clouds have been resting upon the mountains, and far off the usual in dications of thunder-storms were noticed. The tire in the batteries has been slack all day. The popping of musketry, which ceased for a short time after the Mameton redoubt was captured, is now again heard, especially at night, in the advanced trenches. The following general order was published to-day : , s In consequence of the death of Major-General Eatcourt, adjutant-general of the army, which me lancholy event took place on the 24th instant, the , duties of the adjutant-general's department will be carried on by Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. W. Pa kenham. _ A.A.G., until further orders." June 28.—The reply made to inquiries is, that Lord Raglan has passed . a quiet night, and is better this morning. He rematns, however, in every weak state. There was very heavy rain during the night, and the morning conunnes overcast and clouded. Showers fall frequently. The Russians threw some light-balls last night from the Redan, and discovered a spot where our working parties had been busily employed. For tunately the men bad just ceased from working, and had retired under the protection of the parapet The enemy, evidently under the Impression that the, new wort would afford very little cover, threw some heavy discharges of grape and shell in its direction, but without causing any casualties. No further attempt has been made at sapping up , towards the Redan. The flanking fire of the enemy's works, and the stony nature of the remaining part of the Redan-hill, prevent such an operation, which must of necessity be very slow and laborious, from being undertaken at present. The advanced trench of the Quarry-work has been extended on the left down the slope of the hill toward the left ravine, so as to guard against any sudden attack of the enemy against the work on this side. On the right, the trenches taken from the Russians, am well as our own approaches, sufficiently protect it against any such an attempt. _ _ _ - News has been received in the camp that Omer Pacha has returned with his troops from the recon naivance toward Mackenzie's farm, as well as the Sardinians, and that the enemy was found to be strongly entrenched, and his position defended on all sides by powerful batteries. The part of the 10th , Hussars which accompanied the expedition has also rejoined their head quarters. Capt. Charles Bowles, who commanded a troop, fell a victim to cholera during this brief absence of the regiment. Notwithstanding the favourable replies respecting the state of Lord Raglan's health this morning, in the course of the afternoon it was whispered in camp that the Field-Marshal was in a very precarious state. At a still later hour of the evening it was said that all hops of recovery was abandoned, anct between nine and ten o'clock at night the intelligence of his lamented de cease was quickly dispersed among the various camps. It appears that towards noon a very unfa vourable change took place, the debility increased in a marked manner, and there was a fainting fit in the afternoon, and from this time his lordship gradually sank until he expired about nine o'clock. He re tained hie faculties and self-possession until a short period prior to his decease. As may be imagined, this important event has absorbed all other thoughts; it has not yet left room for the discussion even of its probable influence on the great enterprise in which the army is engaged, over which the late Commander of the Forces presided. The unsuccessful attack of the 18th of June, which there is little doubt was one of the reinote,ifnot one of the chief, causes which led to the &nil illness of Lord Raglan, was referred to in the general orders of this day's date in the following terns: ORNIZILL OP.DIB. Head Quarters before Sebastopol, June 28. The Field-Marshal has the satisfaction of publishing to the army the following extract of a telegraphic deapatch ' from Lord Panmure, dated the 22nd et June : I have her Majesty's commands to uprose her grief that so much bravery should not have been rewarded with merited success ; and to Amman her brave troop, that her Majesty's confidence in them is entire." June 29. The great event of last evening was an nounced at an early hour this morning to the army generally, in the following terms : MORNING OZNZRAL GRIMM. Head Quarters before Sobsstopol, 29th June. 1. It becomes my painful duty to announce to the army the decease of It. beloved commander, Field Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., which melancholy event took place last night about nine o'clock. 2. In the absence of Lieut.-General Sir George Brown, the command of the forces devolves on me, being the neat senior officer present, until further orders from Ragland. 3. Generals of division and heads of departments will he pleased to conduct the respective duties as heretofore. (Signed) lame Burrow!, Lieutenant-General. Sir George Brown leaves the Crimea for a time on account of ill health ; but it is reported that he will not probably prolong his absence longer than is necessary for a voyage to Malta. Although still weak, it is hoped that the benefit of the sea air will shortly recruit his strength, and it is not probable that one so interested in the moons of the campaign as the Lieutenant-General would omit to seize the first opportunity . of restored health to return to the scene of operations. Major-General Codrington is also on board ship, but is reported to have improved so much in health, that he will not require to leave. The number of general officers doing duty in the field at present is limited indeed. The Light Divi sion and Second Division are without any (general officer, and the First, Third, and Fourth Divisions can only muster five general officers of all reeks among them. The 13th, Prince Albert's Regiment of Light In fantry, arrived to-day from Gibraltar. Among the casualties in the trenches last night Lieutenant Charles Cubitt, of the 62nd Regiment, received a severe wound in the body from a rifle ball. The ball had previously . passed through the arm of a soldier of the 90th Regiment. There has been more firing from the Malakhoff and I Roden batteries to-day than for many days pest. The Cossack batteries on the north side have also keptian active fire against the French works on the t. Thom has bees very little movement on at falseveli. The Milepretut ---.. 'remains mild. The number of cholera eases is said to be again on the decrease. June 80.—The enemy kept up a very active fire is 1 the supposed direction of our working parties lest aid % A limited number of shells were thrown from our t op levies, chiefly against the Malakhoff and Red a% There had been rumours of an attack on our lines being contemplated by the enemy, but no demonatra. tion nor advance took place. The anticipation of in attack was most probably due to a suspicion flat iatelligenoe of the demise of Lord Raglan, and t h e absence of many of our generals, would be carried to the enemy's camp, and that he might hope to gain an advantage by a surprise under these circumstances. Dry weather appears to have again set it. (FROM OUR CORRESPOND E.)ENT, LATE ON TIM DANUB TVRIELSH CAMP, MASKOMUA, VALE OP BAIDAR, Juni 30. Since the date of my last letter no change hi s taken place in the position of the Turkish army. The Piedwontese have returned to their old encampment at Kaman; the firing has all but ceased at Sebasto pol, and, in fact, affairs seem brought to a dead lock. Reunnaissances, on a small scale, have been made by the Turks for some days past, but they never by aoy chance see anything. A letter was addressed, by the hands of a Tartar, some days ago , by a Polish ser geant at the Russian outposts, to "his brother Poles," in which he gives the strength and position of the Russian forces outside Sebastopol. He rates them at 93,000 men in all, amongst which there are 20 regiments of cavalry, eight being Cossacks of the Ural. To this there is nothing to oppose but Omer Paches small army and that of the Piedroontese, who are being decimated by cholera, and such troops as the French and English may be able to spare from before Sebastopol. There seems to be no plan of ulterior operations formed as yet, and divisions are moved about more from the fidgetiness consequent upon the feeling that nothing is being done, when all ought to be busy, than from any intention of damaging the enemy. The villages of Upoo and Koutchka, which were occupied by the Turks when they first crossed the Tchernaya, having been evacu. ated when they marched towards Balder, as a matter of course were immediately afterwa t 4 s occu pied by the Cossacks and Greek volunteers, who forthwith, as usual, carried oft such of the inhabitants as were known to have had any communica tion with the enemy. Some escaped, amongst others, the chief of the village, Vely Bey, one of the Tartar aristocracy, who came trotting into the camp about twelve hours atter our arrival here, with his son, and addressed himself to Omer Pacha for deliverance. Omer Pacha sent him to General Marmora, whose troops were still near Tchorgoun, bat be sent him back again, and the poor devil was here two whole days wandering from one Pacha's tent to another, professing unbounded devotion to " his lord the Sultan," steadfastly refusing the smallest drop of wine, beer, or spirits, and saying his prayers invariably in the middle of the troops, and in the most exposed situation he could select. However favourably this show of devotion might have impressed the Turks with regard to hie piety, it did not seem to have much effect upon his prospects of a return to his village. At last Iskender Pacha took him up, lodged him in hie tent, and by some means or other obtained an order to advance on Upoo, and restore the Tartars to their homes. Vely Bey accompanied him. The Greeks ran away as usual, and the Tartar chief had hardly made the vow which returned exiles usually register, from hie home and his weeping friends never to part, when the Turks received an order to return to camp. Down came the Greeks and Cossacks on their heels, and off went Vely Bey and his son once more on their ponies to seek precarious shelter here, end hope for better times. He has once more taken up his abode with Iskender Pacha, and to the beet of my belief and opinion, he and the Pacha will be heartily sick of each other's company before Upoo becomes safe ground for any one supposed to be unfavourably disposed towards the Czar of all the Russia& Now, this is an un fortunate affair in my opinion, not because of Vely Bey, because if it were necessary to the sac s= da single important movement, a general would be justified in sacrificing not one village bat ten, from the head men to the newest laid eggs. " One cannot make war with white kid gloves on, as a French general said when he appropriated a horse at Kertch. But in this cue these villages were occupied with no object, evacuated with no object, and the in habitants suffered to fraternise with the in vaders, and thus incapacitate themselves from doing any good to anybody but the Cossacks, who make it an excuse for seizing on the fowls while car ryiny off the owners. if this could be properly con sidered any enemy's country, or if the vill ages were se Russian, though the case might be a hard one, lees caution would be necessary. Bat the Tartan' are to all intents and purposes Turks. The allegiance of their hearts has always been paid to the Sultan ; the conquest is too recent to be forgotten. The Russian is in their eyes still a gison and foreign enemy. If Omer Packs, as well as the allies generally, did no.. feel disposed to exploit these feelings for their own profit, they should at least have so far respected them as to avoid being the cause of any unnecessary suffering to the people ; a village should never be occupied unless the army were advancing beyond or about to remain in it, or at least the inhabitants should not be sacrificed to final deliverance from Muscovite domination. Cossack vengeance, after being filled with hopes of The fact is that, in the general admiration for discipline and organisation—and certainly too great importance cannot be assigned to them—people have begun to despise completely the efforts of popular en thusiasm, and to treat the notions of indi viduals with contempt. THE BALTIC. KIEL, JOLT 6. There was little time lost in supplying the lin periense with the necessary quantity of coals, as she completed her loading in one day, and took her de parture early on the morning of the 2nd after her arrival, taking in tow the mortar vessels which she had brought with her from England. As she was leaving, several vessels destined to increase the French force entered the bay, and the following are now anchored in the harbour, close to the town: Tonnerre, Pelican, L'Aigle, steam corvettes; Tocsin, Torche, Bombe, Fournaise, sailing mortar vessels ; to gether with two gun-boats of a construction similar to the vessels of the same class recently arrived front England. The steamers are busy replenishing their coals. All the communications which are received here from Russia speak in the same tone of the growing unpopularity of the war. The old Russian party still carry matters with a high hand, but the peace party show symptoms of making some more decided demonstration than they have hitherto ventured to do, the result of which may soon show itself. In the army there have been already exhibited some indications of insubordination ; and the strong measure of reducing to the ranks and of depriving of all emblems of military distinction such men as Lieut.-Colonel Kirikow, Capt. Kirikow, Capt. lemur, and Lieut. Sabowsky, is a proof of the rigid enforcing of the most severe discipline against ' those who may be considered to take an column ' able view of the proceedings of the government; for although no intimation is given of the nature of the offence for which this punishment has been awarded by a court-martial, it is said to have been more of a political than a military character. I have some reason to believe that the ranks of the British Foreign Legion will soon receive considerable reinforcements from several districts in the North of Germany. The accounts received by former com rades from those who have already joined have been in general so far satisfactory that those who have only waited for this information are now likely to anal themselves of the first favourable opportunity to pro' Geed to Heligoland and enter the service.
