If Mr. Conon; meant this not very original parable to be understood as having OD foundation in feet, it was as pointless as irrele trant—a mere repetition of vulgar, hackneyed meets UGH women, as weak and meddling gossips.

This is not the first offence of the kind of which these peace-at-any-price men have been guilty. Rather more than half a year ago they placarded the walls of our manufacturing towns with an anonymous attack upon a distinguished authoress, whose only offence was that she was suspected not to believe in their dogmas. What have the wives of Ministers and Editors done, that they are to be offered up as victims to the unmanly and •ulgar ribaldry of Mr. COBDEN and his associates? Are they to be placed beyond the pale of the protection of that chivalry which is conventionally assumed to regulate the conduct of gentlemen towards females in this country? The coarse, pot-house jest of Mr. COBDEN was received in the House of Commons with approving laughter. BURKE was not far wrong when he said the age of chivalry was gone. If women can no longer rely upon their "natural protectors "to shield them from vulgar im pertinence, it were well if they tock their cause into their own hands, and goaded these things of a third sex, destitute of the feelings of men, with their crochet needles—since they have no longer dis-, tiffs wherewith to belabour the creatures.—Daily News. THE TCHERNAYA. maws.) KADIKOI, MAY 23. Another expedition of the Allied armies has sailed from the harbours of Kaiaks& and Balaklava; and it is devoutly hoped that this time the forces will mot ,return in the unsatisfactory and mysterious manner, which turned out the issue of the last expedition. This Ohm too, the operation of sending the troops down to the harbour and getting them on board ship, was performed with unusual celerity. On Monday even. big the first regiment of Sardinians--scarcely landed—marched down to Balaklava; and on Tut& day morning the 42nd, 79th, and 93rd Highlanders struck their tents in the Balaklava position, while the 71st, almost within the same hour, came down from the Sebastopol front, where, in the interval be tween the return of the first and the sailing of the stcond expedition, they had taken a short spell in the trenches. For an hour the usual morning noises, the trumpet-calls from the cavalry camp, and the various sounds of camp wakening, were drowned by the fall sound of regimental music, and the shrill notes of the bagpipe, shrieking amidst Crimean rocks as fiercely and wildly as bagpipe ever shrieked in the glens of Ben Nevis, or on the backs of Loch Lomond. In the afternoon these four regiments, with the necessary complement of artillery, were shipped, and our part of the expedition moved out of the har bour, and rendezvoused outside with the French part of the adventure, which came from Kamiesch. This time the French sent a larger force, and I understand Ithat of French,English, and Sardinians, there were, all I in all, 20,000 troops that went out to sea. Where they went is now known to be Kertch. On the evening of the OM day the French on Sebastopol heights proceeded tithe attack of some of the Russian outworks, which, after a terrible cannonade, and with great loss on either side, they occupied, capturing, as some of those that were engaged say, 10 guns, and, according to the statement of others, 30 guns. Almost at the same time the besieged made a diversion which for its 'boldness deserves honourable mention in the history of this extraordinary siege. Taking advantage of the absence of great part of the Allied fleets who had steamed with the expedition which sailed in the afternoon, a number of large boats stole out of the harbour, eluded tee vigilance of the ships that are stationed to prevent such like enterprises, and proceeded to a small bay to the left of Ka miesch, where, landing, our enemies advanced, and with great boldness attacked the rear of the Fourth French Division. It is supposed that about 2,000 men must have in this manner made a lodge , meet on our ground. Their plan, as far as we can naderstand it, must have been to take our Allies by surprise, attack their batteries in the rear, and in this manner fight their way back into the fortress. If unable to accomplish this object, they must hare matertained some desperate hope of fighting their way back to their boats, though it is difficult to under stand how they could hope for a second time to pass ear ships without exciting observation and attracting broadsides. As usual, this forlorn hope, landing and attacking in a quarter where an attack could not possibly be expected, made considerable progress, but its first success proved its final ruin, for our Allies fought so gallantly and mans:louvred so well, that not only did they stopthe advance of the Russian force, but they also most effectually cut off their retreat to their boats. After a most obstinate resistance, those among the Russians that were not k tiled or seversly wounded were compelled to surrender. It is ,difficult to dis tinguish between the " butchers' bills " of the two engagements that took place almost at the same time, and within so small a space. But the result of the two, as far as I am able to ascertain it, is that on that evening the Russians lost 2,000 men in killed and wounded, and that 600 men, sound or but slightly wounded, were captured by our Allies, who in their turn are said to have suffered a minor but still a severe loss among their Imperial Guard, for this flee corps more particularly was en gaged. This evening there is again a heavy cannon ade from the same direction, and those that at a late hour have ridden in from the front report that the Russians have come out with two divisions, intent upon retaking the position they lost last night. This afternoon some more of our artillery was em barted—it is said for the purpose of joining the Kertch expedition, and strong rumours are afloat of a proposed foray of the Allied forces against the Russian lines:of the Tchernaya. The French, whoknow how to keep a secret, but who also know how to speak when concealment is of no earthly use, hare had re■ pelted warnings from their head-quarters to hold themselves in perfect readiness for an advance into the interior of the country, and to-day a grand review of the troops selected for immediate operations was held near their head-quarters. These troops, two di visions of infantry, sixteen batteries, and the whole of the French light and heavy cavalry, the Chasseurs d'Afrique, and Cuirassiers, were addressed by General ' Canrobert who, to the great joy of the army, remains in the Crimea, and who, with a patriotism and devc tion which do honour to him as a man and a soldier, has consented to accept a subordinate command in an army of which for seven months—and those most trying months—he was the Commander-in-Chief. I need hardly say that the greatest excitement prevails among the French troops, who look forward to this expedition as a relief from the tedious and intoler able burdens of the siege. As to our own troops, they are in the greatest uncertainty, but it is said that the 10th Hussars have had notice that their services will be required. The Sardinian", of course, will advance with the rest, and, as Omer Pasha is about, to fix his head-quarters at Kadikoi, it is expected that a considerable number of Turks will share in the glory of driving the Russians back upon the lines of Baktshi Sere, and perhaps further. Altogether, it is expected that 40,000 of the Allied troops will cross Balaklava plain and storm the position of the Tchernaya before the month is over. Mee 24. This was a day of great rejoicing among the Allied armies on Sebastopol heights. It was her Majesty's birthday, and it became positively known that the attack upon the lines of the Tehernaya is to take place early to-morrow morning. I can hardly say that her. Majesty's birthday was favoured by the weather, for we had the same sun and the same boat which has been oppressing us for some time past, and to which we shall have to reconcile our selves, for, with slight interruptions, it is likely to eeedene to the end of September. According to favourable, for it did not home ideas the day was rain. Throughout the British encampments the day was kept as much as a Sunday as the hard times we live in allow. The business of the siege and of the army was carried on es usual, but a grand review of the whole of our cavalry was held on the heights between Karani and Bt. George's Monastery. Two troops of horse artillery and two foot batteries para ded with the cavalry. Men and horses, even of the regiments that wintered here, looked in splendid _ _ (FLOM A DAIL! embarked for Bulgaria were amembled on Ilayder. Pasha mid then lowered their colours and cheered their absent Queen. MAY 26. This morning at one o'clock, the Allied forces des tined to operate against the Tchernays, descended ken the hills and formed in the plain outside the Naas of Balaklays. It was one of those fine, fresh Crimean spring nights which, if they cannot make as forget, at least reconcile us to, the heat of the day. The stars shone bright, the crescent was high up in the sky, and white fleecy clouds were rapidly drift ing across, the deep blue back-ground of the Wm& The camps were all in motion, not noisily, nee yet silently, for there was little concealment in our taking ' the field. For two hours the clatter of horses' hoofs upon the stones, and the deep hollow rumbling of waggons, announced the descent of the cavalry and artillery, but as their dark shadowy muses arrived ea the borders of the plain, even this noise ceased, smothered by the thick carpet of turf over which the troops moved. The large masses of the infantry sight be seen as they moved through the white fog which rose up from the lower ground, but their steps were hardly heard, even on the stony surface of the road down the hills. As the columns debouched into the plain, they marched in different directions, so as to embrace in their attack the whole length of the line of low hills, which intersect the plain of Bala klava, and which in the history of the Crimean cam paign are known as the Turkish batteries. We knew that earthworks had been erected on three of the highest of these hills ; we doubted their being mounted with cannon. It was also suspected that the Russians had but a small force between these hills and the Tchernaya, and nothing more serious than skirmishing was anticipated in marching upon this first outer line of the Russian position. At the same time the number of the troops that left our line showed that something far more serious than a mere occupation of the site of the Turkish batteries was intended—that measures were taking for forcing the lines of the Tchernaya, and, it is hoped, for an advance upon Perekop. It was whispered in the camp, that these operations would be supported by a third general bombardment of Sebastopol. For this morning those that so whispered were refuted by the event. Our batteries on the Sebastopol front were remarkably silent all day ; but it is still hoped that the fire was reserved to support a future and more important movement of the army of operations. That army, as it marched out this morning, is under the command of General Canrobert, and con sists of about 25,000 French infantry, with eight foot-batteries; 12,000 Turks, horse and foot; and 4000 Sardinians, rifles and infantry. Our own con tribution to the Allied forces was small to a degree: it was confined to two squadrons of cavalry, from the 10th Hussars and the 12th Lancers. The French were prepared to support the operations of the day by almost the whole of their cavalry force. Their Chasseurs d'Afrique, their dragoons and their cui rassiers were dratted from all the points of their ex tensive camp, and sent down into the plain. The Sardinians, a detachment of Turks, and our own cavalry, were posted on the right wing of our line of attack, and operated against Kamera church and Canrobert's Hill. The French cavalry, and large bodies of their infantry, took the centre, with a re serve of Turks in their rear, and the left wing was formed by the artillery, and by French and Turkish infantry. In this order did the troops, preceded by clouds of skirmishers, traverse the plain, and all the hill tope were ascended almost at the same moment. The enemy's redoubts, as had been expected, were unarmed, with the exception of the one to the left, from which a few rounds of shot were fired; but the firing was evidently from a single gun, and that gun was carried off long before our skirmishers crowned the hill. A slight skirmish took place as the Sar dinians, on our extreme right, ascended the hills of Kamera. The cavalry had, meanwhile, made their way up through the sloping grounds that separate the hills, and the Chasseurs d'Afiique and our own Hussars were fortunate enough to come up with a body of Cossacks, evidently bent upon effecting their retreat. They were attacked, acid some of them were captured at a very trifling cost of casualties. A few of: the Masseurs d'Afrique were wounded, one of our Hussar horses was shot, and one officer was slightly wounded. The Cossacks, and a small force of infantry which supported them, were driven down to the banks of the Tchernaya, and pursued across them. A small battery on a steep hill to the right, on the other side of the Tchernaya, which was held by infantry nnprovided with guns, was attacked by the French infantry, who took it with ease, and at a very trifling loss. Here, too, several of the enemy were captured. Those of the Allied forces that had crossed the river—which, at this dry season, is fordable at all points—entered the village of Tchourgoun, and for an hour or two kept possession of the hills surrounding it. They then retired. Here ended the operations of the day, by the Allied forces taking up a position on the heights commanding this side of the river. At 11 a.m. the troops were busily engaged pitching their tents, and all the hill• side were covered with French soldiers foraging wood for their camp-fires. The French cavalry, finding that their presence was unnecessary, fell back upon the Balaklava position: part of the dragoons returned to Kamiesch, and the light horse pitched their tents in BalakLava plain. Somewhat later our 10th Hussars and 12th Lancers returned to their encampments within our lines. Their place, with the Sardinian troops on our right, has this evening been taken by the 4th and sth Dragoon Guards. The Sardinians have at once commenced turning Kamera church into an hospital for the wonndedthey expect to have in future engagements. The Russians can hardly com plain of this use of the holy edifice, for they them selves used it as a guard-house and magazine for forage. This afternoon and evening, the plain which for months past bore the same uniform aspect, showed features different from those we were accustomed to see, and became thereby an object of renewed interest. The hill tops were covered with tents, and in the evening, with long rows of blazing fires. Baggage and ammunition waggons crossed the plain, and traversed the ground, which, but on the rare occasions of a reconnoissance was for us, forbidden ground. Herds of the horses of our camp were driven out and fed luxuriantly upon the grass and young oorn,i which up to the present had been allowed to grow undisturbed, because the soil on which it grew lay within range of our batteries, and because the proximity of the Cossack videttes, and their cunning in driving in men and horses, held our camp-followers in awe. The state of the ground between the Turkish bat teries and the Tchernaya shows at once that the Rus sians never had a serious intention of defending this, their look-out position. Small numbers of troops only have been quartered in or traversed this part of their late territory. The grass is in full growth, on the banks of the river there are shrubs and teem and only here and there a few earth-huts, or the black marks of a picket Are show that some detachments of troops have now and then occupied small camping grounds. The vegetation on that side of the hills is what we found it on owe sib when we first landed in the Crimea —abundant and odoriferous. Flowers, bright blue s purple, and yellow, actually cover the ground ; little plots of poppies shine in the distance like fields of red ochre; the brushwood is intermixed with wild rose shrubs in full bloom, and some wild herb ovother, as our 11.1" s champed the firass.

Add to Lb* that the heat of the sun wee tempered by a frrah breeze, and you will under stand that our first advance against the Russian po sition had all the features of a field day in fairy land. whether FRANCE THE OPERATIONS AT OENITCHI. (FROM TILE CORRESPONDENT OP THE DAILY xzwe.) PARIS, TUESDAY ETRNINO. Although there is considerable discrepancy in the wording of the several despatches nar rating the operations of the Allied Fleets at Genitchi, or Genitschek, I feel little doubt that they all relate to one sad the same affair, which must have occurred on May 29th, the date assigned in the Russian despatch, dated St. Peters burg yesterday. Neither the Moniteur nor the note communicated by the admiralty to the Daily News mention the date of the attack upon Ge "litchi. General Pelissier's despatch, dated Crimea, June 2, 10 P.M., is founded upon a report from Kertch of blay,3l, the date of Sir E. Lyons' despatch from the same place. Two days we may suppose were taken to send the news from Genitchi to Kertch along the whole breadth of the sea of Azoff. Gart chakoff, after having doubtless slurred over as much as he could our performances of the 20th, says, com placently, that on the 30th " We had not made any fresh attack upon Genitachek." A fresh attack would have been a very unnecessary proceed ing, if, u both the French and English govern ment despatches say, we had already "driven the Russian force out of the place." Still it is to be observed that neither the Monacar nor the English Admiralty affirms that we are in poemi sloe of Genitchi; that the place is taken is only Gul l inference, and an inference against the soundness of which it may be objected that had the Allies been muter. of the place, they would be more likely to have appropriated the enemies eatables than to have destroyed them. It is very remarkable that both the Moniteur and the English despatch say that the pro visions were destroyed after the Russian forces had bees driven out of the town, which would have been a senseless proceeding had we the means of carrying them away at leisure. Gortchakoff speaks of I bombardment and the burning of the transports and stores, as if done in the course of the attack, and so far his account is the most probable. He adds that our shallops were forced to retire before the fire of two guns! While receiving this with all reserve, our own despatches are, it mast be admitted, far from clear. The Moniteur con arms Gortchakoff's statement that there was a bombardment, while it says not a word of the landing of sailors and marines mentioned in the Admiralty note, which note, on the other hand, sari nothing about a bombardment. As to the private despatch dated Sebastopol, June 2, which announces in terms the " taking" of Genitchi, it is evident that it is a concoction made up from one received yesterday afternoon from London. The im probability of the Allies having destroyed provisions , which they might have taken seems to have occurred to the concocters of this despatch, and therefore they represented the Hessians as having destroyed them themselves—a version which conflicts with all the official despatches. I am informed that at the review yesterday an Englishman who pressed too closely upon the Em peror's cortege (doubtless out of innocent curiosity), was cut down by a soldier. I do not know to what extent he was injured. The Lord Mayor of London arrived in Paris last night, accompanied by several members of the cor poration.

It will be seen by our Lords' report that at the Anal meeting of the Vienna Conference on Monday a new Austrian proposition was made ; that Prince Gortchakoff asked if he might send it to St. Peters burg, but that the French and English ministers replied that they were not authorised to agree to such a step. The exact nature of the proposal was unknown to Lord Clarendon.—Daily News. LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE. THE second night of the adjourned debate on the result of the negotiations at Vienna was, if possible, more dull and disappointing than the first. Mr. COBDEN made merry, in his somewhat peculiar style of mirth, with the alleged inconsistencies of his old friend and ally, Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTII. The House laughed, and nobody was much the worse or the wiser. Upon the whole, it would be wrong to say that the speech of Mr. COBDEN was not successful. It we. obviously intended for the Opposition, whose , attention throughout and occasional applause it woo. The design, hardly palpable at the outset, grew clear as the advocate of peace at any price developed his views ; and towards the close all disguise was laid aside, and the Derbyites found themselves zealously cheering the once hated and feared tribune of demo cratic interests, now become an apologist for the superior moderation of aristocratic opinion on the subject of the war. To their Conservative sympathies and apprehensions, Mr. COBDIEN did not scruple to address more than one appeal; and his example was followed, later in the evening, by a more accomplished practitioner in the art of political versatility. We omit the numerous minor speeches which occupied some tedious hours in unimpressive and un instructive chopping of well-worn phrases, and come at once to that of Sir JAMES GRAMM. Much, in a certain sense, was expected from him on the occasion —perhaps most by those who knew him least. His friends—or at least, those about him whom his habitual oscillations and fluctuations keep in a per petual fret and fear—having heard him accept the taunting challenge of Lord PALMERSTON before the holidays, knew well that long before the recess was over Sir JAMES would, be seized with the shivering fit; and that nothing wu so unlikely u that he would resume the tone of denunciation and reproach of his former colleagues in which he had taken leave of them ten days before. The result in every respect verified such anticipations. Nothing could be lower than the quicksilver lut night in this remarkable political barometer. The manner and the matter of the lengthy statement of the right honourable baronet were in perfect keeping,—for under every change of part and scene, Sir haus never ceases to be an artful, and, in many points, an admirable actor. But manner and matter were both in the deprecatory style of the sick Cardinal. He had a clean breast to make of it; his past sins and shortcomings were all present before him; in terest in the future he could have none; but a so lemn admonition it was his duty to pronounce to the nation and the Legislature. Words to this effect our readers will not find, indeed, in the sinuous windings of hip speech, which reads like something between an historical lecture and a court chaplain's sermon on the wickedness of unwarrantable war. But all this and a good deal more questionable is in sub stance to be found in the strange and dismal harangue. Both the advocates for the resumption of negotia tions cast aside all reserve and delicacy regarding France. By both, Ministers were called on to break the seals of diplomatic confidence, and to declare whether they had not overruled the Cabinet of the Tuileries on the question of the limitation of Russia's naval forces in the Black Sea ; and Sir JAMES did not hesitate to endorse the rumour that the retire ment of M. DROUIN DE LUDES was attributable to no other cause. At the conclusion of his harangue the member for Carlisle addressed himself particularly to the philo- Austrian views enunciated on the preceding night by Bic BULWEa LITTON, in all of which it is untie emery to say that he cordially concurred. The pc. licy of the Court of Vienna ought, according to these new confederates, to be the touchstone wholes the edge of our national honour and courage would be set. The improbability of our ever get ting active aid from Germany is rather noticed in a toss of triumph than of regret ; and the sagacity and Them of thus forfeiting all the boasted pledges and premises of the last twelve months is eulogised with out reservation. "The paramount policy of England mad of Austria," said Sir iAllgB Clasuau, "is the suss, and that policy is pesos." Why was not this knew held while the orator was a member of the cabinet that began the war, and which, up to the latest hour of its existence, assured the country that Austria was committed to an alliance with France and England against Russia, in the eventualities whisk bare now occurred ?—Daily News. THE AGE OF CHIVALRY IS GONE. LABE night it pleased Mr. COBDEN to attempt the facetious. Warned by the experience of Mr. L4TABD, he did not venture to discharge his sarcasms against men. He chose the safer line of calumniating wo men. The sainted NICHOLAS had a taste for flogging females, and his admirers amongst us imitate him as of English law will allow. Mr, have been warned that they will have to ad vance, though not to-morrow. So it 4, just pas sible the attack may be put off for a day or two. From all we were able to ascertain to day, it will perhaps be found that the Tchernaya position is not near so difficult to take, nor so well armed as has generally been believed, and whether or not, when we do advance, we shall find many guns in position, is a matter of most interesting speculation. We are also very anxious to see the Sardinian troops, whom we all admire so much, under fire. It is generally anti cipated that they will be most effective. An incident occurred to-day which threw a strange, and to us a pleasant, light upon their manner of making war. While the cavalry pur sued the Cossacks to the river, the Sardinian Rifles advanced from Kamara, and took up a position commanding the epproaches from the valley of the Tchernaya. They bad hardly done so, when our own Hussars and Lancers, returning from the pirsoit, were descried in the distance. The Sardinians, strangers as yet to the uniforms of the various nations that are united in these camps, mis took them f3r enemies and prepared to receive them as such. Colonel Cadogaa who is attached to their contingent, remonstrated, and when the Sardinians still showed suspicion, offer ed to advance and reconnoitre the strange cavalry. He did so; and, finding that he at least had not been deceived in the uniform, he pointed oat to his countrymen the exact position in which their Allies were posted, and turned them aside, so as not to interfere with the arrangements of the Sar dinians. This done, he hastened back, but, to his amazement, when he reached the spot he found that the Rifles were gone. While yet undecided what to do or in which direction to pro ceed in search of the fugitives, he heard a step by his side, and on looking up, he found himself face to face with the commander of the missing corp.. Colonel Cadogan at once told the Sardinian officer there was nothing to fear, that the cavalry in front were English. "So much the better," was the careless reply, " then we can make ourselves comfortable," saying which the Sardinian put a whistle to his mouth and produced on it a horrible squeak. Astounded with this eccentric) behaviour, the colonel stared at his comrade in arms, but who can describe his still further astonishment, when, on a sudden, the very ground near his feet seemed alive with human beings. Up started the rifles in all directions, and from all places, like Roderic Dhu's famous gillies ; up they started from briar and brake, from ditches and water holes, when the whole corps had been lying perdu waiting for the approach of what they believed to be the enemy. ‘Vhat if Russian cavalry had advanced instead of ours! Their surprise would have exceeded that of Colonel Cadogan. These Sardinian rifles are as active as they are smart. They were hardly a couple of hours on the Kamera hills, when they had made themselves at home and settled down in arbours which in an incredibly abort space of time they had made out of brushwood. They are exceedingly small, but also exceedingly active and energetic men. They march in a trot, and climb up steep places with a wonderful rapidity. I trust I shall soon have the agreeable duty of telling you a great deal of the deeds of the Sardinian rifles in their advance across the Tchernaya. (CROY ANOTHER COI OF TIII DAILY Xlife.) MAT 25. The advance against Tchorguna took place at day break this morning, and the object was secured without any loss to the Allies. The French troops, in the course of the morning of yesterday, had struck their large tents, and substituted the small (elites d'ubri, and, moon after midnight, nom- menced to leave their several encampments for the purpose of forming and concentrating near the entrance to the plain. Just before daybreak the advanced body were within a thousand yards of the square redoubt on the side of the hill to the north of the opening, forming the valley of Tchorgun. The cavalry occupied a position on the plain, and the reserves of French and Ottoman troops stretched back as far as Balaklava. General Canrobert commanded on the field, but General Pelissier superintended the operations from a projecting height on the right flank near the Canrobert redoubt. The force altogether comprised about 20,000 men, and included the division of British cavalry, a Sardinian division, and about 5,000 Ottomans. Daylight no sooner exposed the approach of the Allied force than the enemy ran in all directions. The large redoubt was attacked at the point of the bayonet just as the first tints of morning were visible, but, contrary to all expectation, the guns had been all removed. A few detachments alone guarded the work. On push ing np the hill to a shelving plain where the enemy had cut a series of zig-zags and intrenchments, it was equally found to be abandoned. The troops which had retired made a slight opposition from the side of a neighbouring height, but a few discharges of shells and grape compelled them to fly. At the same time that this transpired on the left of the Tchernaya, other troops had advanced on the right, and gained possessession of a low mamelon and ridge commanding the village itself. No opposition was offered, and a few rounds of grape and some shell were discharged into the woods above the village to complete the disorder of the troops who were escaping. The enemy kept up a very active fire from the batteries on the side of the Inkermann mountain, but the shells usually burst about half way in the air, and the shot, though falling as far as the redoubt near Tchorgoun, failed to do any execution. Some prisoners were taken, and also a number of horses, and some sheep and cattle. Such was the hurry in which the troops quartered in the village had escaped, that many had left portions of their dress behind, and in a few instances articles of considerable value. It is stated that a part of the force quartered during the winter at Tchorgun had only been lately withdrawn to the entrenched position of the army of the north, and that some of the troops had left immediately after the departure of the expedition towards Kutch. After fully reconnoitering the heights around Tchorgun, and also the line of hills in a direction to ward Khutor Mackenzie on one side and Kamera on the other, the French general withdrew his main body to the Chersonese side of the Tchernaya, °occupying however with his outposts the high points near the opening of the valley of Tchorgun, and commanding possession of a portion of the river. It is an impor tant advantage to gain, for the present, the supply of water, and moreover this advance is one step in the direction to which the future movements of the several armies will be carried. 8 P.M. Several Cossack videttes have made their appearance during the day, and it is reported that the enemy is collecting a force upon ;Tchorgun. The whole of the Balsklava valley, and the low rounded hills separating it from the Tchernaya valley, are now included within our position. News has arrived in camp that Kertch is taken. MAY 26. No attack was made lust night. Some peals of thunder among the mountains last even ing were several times mistaken for the echoes of artillery. The fire of the siege batteries, on the lef t, was very heavy, and sustained duriug the whole night. The weather wantinues dry and fine.
