As long as the Turkish army is commanded here by a man of Omer Pacha's rank, it will never be of much see to the Allies. A " Berdarekrern" will never work heartily under simple generals, like Generals Peliasier and Simpson; and certainly no European general or army would or could work well under a Turk of high or low degree, and the result is that they ue always at cross purposes. The true believer Tools upon the Oiaoar as an unclean beast of every low order in the animal creation, as the Olson, looks upon the true believer as a rode bar barian, and a donkey to boot, and you may easily imagine that whoa two gentlemen entertaia these sentiments regarding oath other, their Intercourse is sot marked by cordiality. If a very stupid brigadier were pat in command of the Turks here, I think =snag would go en soon pleasantly, as he would do exactly what he was Uhl, and if be deviated from the line marked out for him might get a wigging" with impunity. As matters stand the troops of the Sultan mein resolved to be es use less se they possibly can without absolutely laying down their arms. I would fain hope that Osman Pasha has not received secret instructions to be " obstreperous ;" but his conduct Is sometimes very mysterious. On the day of the battle on the Tcheruaya the French sent to him repeat edly, urging him to sand up reinforcements to their position, inasmuch as he was not himself attacked, and was ekes to the scene of action. By making one MUM or °thee, he managed to defer compliance with their request until all was over, and then sent down: six battalions, but when pressed to allow them to remain, in expectation of a renewal of the assault, he refused to do so, and they; were accordingly with drawn the same evening. I allude to this subject with lees hesitation, because, ea I have so often said, I believe the Turkish soldier is as good a man for any duty going, and would do it as cheerfully as any soldier in the Crimea, if his onion were not the scum of the population. For seem nights peat we have had nothing bat a succeseka of alarms. In fact, the troops on the Tchersaya have sow little sleep except in the day, and in the Eaglish and French camps never more than one-third of the officers is allowed to be absent. On the night of the 21st the French, Piedmont/es, and Turks were under arms; the same thing occurred last night. Just before commencing this letter, I learn that the ansaimoss testimony of the spies and deserters goes to say that we shall be attacked to-moerow gaming before daybreak; that the Russians have concentrated three large masses of troops—use destined to act against the French on the old ground, near the Traktir Bridge; another against the Piedmontese by way of Taurus ; and the third to force the pou tioo of the Turks here at headquarters. The latter have their advanced guard on the other side of the hill in the Vermouths Valley, but the outposts are not thrown forward sufficiently, and although the only approach to this camp is by a narrow road, winding up • precipitous declivity, which might be easily defended by a handful of men, I am not quite satisfied that a sudden attack in great force might not have unpleasant results. It is now eleven p.m • if anything occurs it will be at daybreak, and alt hough the mail does not leave the English head-quarters until noon to-morrow, any hurried details I could give you in the morning would be anticipated by the telegraph ; so we must only wait and see. It is most likely that, if the affair comes off, the Turks will this time have to bear the brunt of it. The famous grenadiers, with whom we have been so long threatened, were two days ago, it is said, at Baktehi Send ; per haps we shall see them in the next affair. The men who fought at the battle of the Tohernaya certainly seemed sufficiently large; I do not see how an inch or two added to their height would have mended the matter. The French crvatry daring the last few days pushed on a considerable distance on the right—very nearly to Belbec, but were unable to remain there for want of water. They returned to a position on the heights be- , • Baidar ; but this evening a large body of the "dragoons retired along the road towards Balaklava. An anonymous letter, in Polish, was brought in from the Russian lines by • Tartar a few days ago,' in which the writer begged to be informed by bearer, whether there was • Polish legion here or not. He added, that it was of vital importance to himself and , many of his friends to know the truth. He was an swered in the negative. In the Fifth Division, which has recently arrived from the interior, two thirds of the officers and men are Poles. The great mass of these would certainly come over, it there were a Polish Legion fighting under the Polish flag. An °mann gatkerem corps, composed of men of all nations, does not hold out mneh temptation to them. August 26.—The morning has passed over witnout any alarm. If the attack is not made to-morrow, it will not take plus until Tuesday, as Monday is an unlucky day. Then is nothing of much importance to be said of the siege, except that a fierce bombard mentgoss on every night, and waxes hotter towards morning. Under cover of this, the French have =sir sap to the vary edge of the ditch of the _ _ _ The heat of the weather bas much diminished ; to fact, there is no disguising the fact, the summer is Pest Lord Stratford de Radcliffe is expected to-day to preside at the Investiture of the 0.C.8.s and H.C.B.a at head-quarters. Sir Cohn Campbell moved down last night with 2,200 of the Highlanders, to reinforce the Piedmootese, and is now in their camp. The French have retaken the ambuscade captured a few nights ago by the Russians, but the working parties lose a great many men every night by the fire of the enemy, as they are now so close. The night before last they bad 130 wounded. The French divisions on the Tchernaya are constructing three new batteries around the Traktir Bridge; one to be called the Raglan Battery, and the second Bisset, from a general of engineers killed in the trenches; the name of the third has 'soaped my memory. (PROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) CAMP ABOVE SEBASTOPOL, Ago. 25. The siege . operations appear to be fast hastening toward a crisis. In spite of the greatest difficulties, the approaches have been brought to close proximity to the enemy's line of works, from the Careening Bay to the Great Roden. The interval which remains, short as it is, can only be successfully traversed by slow and laborious means; but in all probability, judging from present appearances, everything will be ready for the grand assault within the period of a fortnight. No precaution, it is asserted, will be omitted to ensure success in the undertaking. I enclose a diary of events which have occurred sines last mail to the present date. August 22.—Another bright day, tempered by a cool breeze from the north. The French have now extended the right boy au on the Malakoff hill, and, having brought it rotted with a carved sweep, have connected it with the most ad mitted point of their foremost approach. They have thee formed mother parallel towards the Korsika bastion. The trench appears say deep, sad the parapet high and strong. There is a very capacious plies d i suses immediately in rear. The most ad visaed part of this parallel is only 70 French metres from the salient angle of the bastion, and 30 metres from the sheltie before the ditch. On the right, a trench is being extended from this parallel, in front oldie proper left flank and curtain of the Rern!loff bastion, to connect it with the approach in front of the work called the Little Roden. This approach is still nearer to the enemy's line than the new parallel in front of the Kornileff bastion. It is now only 60 me tres distant from the salient angle. The Russians an making the most determined efforts, by keeping up a constant discharge of grenades and buquets, to pre vent the advance of our allies in the direction. At the same time, the French batteries occupying the heights on each side of the Careening Bay ravine keep op a destructive lire against the whole line of the enemy's works, from the battery of the point above the Careening Harbour to the Bialakhoff. The abattis in front of the Korniioff ligation is greatly destroyed. It is suspected that the Russian. have ps4ly assisted in this dieplassueet. A few nights since wort was heard to be going on near the ditch, and in the morning the earth was observed to have Men termed immediately behind the sheltie; pro bably fongessee had been laid; down is this sisosties. The Italians are observed to be working hard at the bridge ; it is fist approaching towards comple tion. The unfinished portion as an the mum Fifty mortars are stated to have arrived from Eng land. Thirteen were brought up by the railroad to-day. The soldier of the 44th Regiment, reputed to be a Pole, and who charged the keeper of a canteen in the 62nd Regiment with being a spy, is himself miming, and is suspected of having deserted to the enemy. He was enlisted and drilled with the Depot Battalion at Weimer, and appears to have given plau sible reasons for doing so. He stated that he had made up his mind to serve with a foreiip legion, but would prefer joining the ranks of as English regi ment. It was thought that his knowledge of Rues= might be turned to useful account. His charge against the canteen-man wan, no doubt, intended to divert attention from his own proceedings. It is not unlikely that he may have had some thing to do with the fire which has lately been directed agent the position of the British camps, As to the fine ite raised against the supposed spy is the canteen, which has been already alluded to above, the unjus tifiable and disgraceful character of the whole proceeding has been fully established after due investigation, and General Simpson has published the following order on the subjoin.

Major-General Markham, C. 8., commanding the 2nd Division, had a narrow escape to-day. He had gone into a stable to look at a newly-parchassd horse belonging to Captain King, one of the aides-de camp, when one of the long range round shots from the enemy penetrated the shed, and killed the horse. Captain King and one or two other persons were pre sent in the stable at the time that this singular escape occurred. It is remarkable that, notwithstanding the number of shot and shell sent up towards the camp, only one man, an artilleryman, has been wounded. This single caenalty can hardly compensate the Romans for their expenditure of labour and materiel. Had General Markham been hit, they might have thought their trouble sufficiently re warded. _ _ . A funeral wu observed to-day at the upper grave yard on the north side of the roadstead, which wee attended by an unusual number of soldiers and fol lowers. It was apparently that of some Russian officer of distinction. August 23.—A bright sunny, but cool morning. Ground was broken last night for another advance of our approaches in the right attack. The new trench is seemingly destined to extend from the front of our Quarry approaches towards the right, so as to include the rifle pit in advance of our filth parall•L This will bring us nearer to the left flank and curtain of the Man. Tne French have thrown up, and are occupying, an ambuscade in advance, and to the left of their new parallel. A trench to connect the rifle pit with the parallel has also been commenced. Enormous working parties of the enemy have been observed to be busily employed upon the mole near Fort Nicholas about the landing place all day. The horses, baggage mules, and camp equipage left by Lieut.-General Bu G. Brown were sold to-day at the quarters which he occupied in front of the Light Division. The following general order was directed to be read to the regiments of the division in which Sir George Brown commended during his service with the army in the East, by Lieutenant-General Codrington, his suooessoe Head Guertin before Setsetopol, August 23, 1865.

W. Heitman, Chief of the Staff. - - - August 24.—The allies succeeded last night, with out much difficulty, in taking and destroying two ambuscades, which the Russians had thrown up in advance of the right eurtain of the Borniloff bastion. They subsequently deepened the communi cation between the foremost parallel and their ad vanced rifle pit, and also commenced an approach to ward the abattis by double sap. Oar fire has been more active to-day. The guns of the battery on the right flank of the Borniloff bastion obstinately continued to discharge a severe fire against the new French spproaches on the left. They were in some degree silenced by the mortars of our right attack, which kept up a heavy fir. against this work, and also threw a large number of shells within the Borniloff bastion itself. The gene of the bastion have been almost wholly silent, but from time to time shells have been discharged from it into the French approaches in front. A large body of troops, about 3,000 men, were ob served this morning to march from the distant camps on the north side of Sebastopol to the neigh bourhood of the usual locality for embarking to the south side. _. Two immense working parties have been busily em ployed the whole day on the slope of the hills on the opposite side of the roadstead, between the Wasp Fort and Fort Constantioe. When they mad work, toward sunset, two very lag and high breastworks had been thrown up ; probably the commencement of two new batteries or forts. A peat number of fatigue parties were observed to be employed at the upper end of the large graveyard, se often alluded to, behind the 12-gun battery as thematic side. No rafts have been brought today, nor has any advance been made toward filling up the interval re maining between the two ends of the opening in the middleof the long bridge. If the rafts were reedy to be floated into position, a very few hours only would be required for the ampletiem of this eaterprielag work. A high brood-work hoe boon throws op, (Stamped id. Additional.) [TWOPENCE. sear the end of Fort Nicholas, but large working parties are still employed about the mole. A glut number of boats, of all sizes, have been in active movement upon the water of the harbour to-day. Boats, containing only one or two passengers, and manned by eight or ten active rowers, have been con stantly passing between the two shores. Half-past 9.—A flne clear moonlight night. A very active fire is going on in the batteries. A con slant boiled(' is also beard, probably from the rifle men in the advanced trenches against the embrasures of the enemy'.. work'. 12 a.m.—The cannonading has gradually increased, and at present the thunder of a mast intense and concentrated discharge from guns and mortars is' widely audible. The rapid fire of musketry also mixes its sharp rattle among the deeper sounds of the guns. The flashes appear most vivid and con tinuous in the direction of the Malakhoff, and the whole appearance would indicate a vigorous and de termined attack. The usual Russian shout is not, however, heard among the various sounds which reach the ear from the foremost trenches. August 26.—As the moon set, shortly after mid night, the rapid cannonade and fire of musketry giadually subsided into the ordinary discharge from the batteries. The cause of the unusually heavy fire last night is not yet known in easy: it is said to have been an attack made by the French against some Russian ambuscades in front of the left curtain of the Rorsiteff bastion. It occurred further to the eastward than the Malakhoff hill. As it ceased when the night grew dark, there was no probability of its being an onset by the enemy against oar working parties. Lieutenant and Captain the Honourable Robert Drummond, of the Coldstream Guards, was mortally wounded by a rifle ball in the chest last night. He met his fate with remarkable resignation, and though suffering from excessive faintness from loss of blood, quietly made arrangements that he should be buried near the graves of his brother offiosrs at Inkermann. He was an active and zealous officer, religious, and gifted with many mental endowments, and his loss will be severely telt in hie regiment. Captain James Frankfort Browne, of the Royal Engineers, and Brevet-Major Warden, 19th Regiment, were also re ported wounded, but not dangerously, by fragments of shells. This day has opened sunny and hot, the heat not being moderated by the usual breeze. The sudden alarm and turn-out of the several divisions in front on the night of the 17th arose from an order given by Lieut.-General Sir William Cod rington, commanding the Light Division, to sound the "assembly." The following is given u the ex planation. Suspicion was excited that a certain per son at one of the canteens of the 62nd Regiment, in the Fourth Division, was a spy. He was a Mend of the proprietor of the canteen. Some soldiers de termined to arrest this stranger, for the purpose of bringing him before the proper authorities, and sub mitting him to examination ; but, having discovered the intention, the man soddenly decamped. A obese ensued. A few soldiers only followed at first, but others, hearing the cry of "a spy escap ing," quickly joined, and in a short time a considerable number were in pursuit. The fugitive bent his course towards the left ravine, along which the Woronsoff road leads directly into Sebastopol, by way of the South Harbour. General Codrington was near the upper part of the ravine when the crowd passed by, and finding a body of men were thus running towards the enemy's position, and fearing some mischief might ensue, adopted the only available expedient for at once bringing them back to camp. A bugler—one being in attendance on the General, ready for any emergency—was or dered to soond the assembly, which was at onoe re peated by the regiments of the Light Division, and soon taken up by the regiments of the 2nd and 4th Divisions, encamped next to it. The alarm at once brought the soldiers back to their respective regi ments; but before the bugle sounds had been heard they had already secured the object of their chase, and were leading him back to camp. Some time ago a soldier of the 44th Regiment, a Pole by birth, informed against the keeper of the canteen alluded to above, that he had formerly known him to be employed in the Russian secret service at Warsaw, and that he suspected him to be engaged at present as a spy. The charge was investigated by a board of officers, but no conclusive evidence to sup port it could be adduced ; and as the canteen-man had written testimonials in his favour, and proofs of long residence at Pere, there was not supposed to be sufficient ground for his dismissal from camp. He has, therefore, remained pursuing his usual avoca tion, though not without a certain amount of suspi cion that he was carrying os a communication with the enemy. The soldier himself did not escape with out exciting in the minds of some persons doubts respecting the honesty of his intentions. Cer tain parts of his evidence against the canteen-man appeared very contradictory. He was known to speak the Russian and German languages, and it did not appear satisfactory that with such attainments he should choose to enlist ass private soldier, when en many other opportunities of employing his talents and information with more advantage were open to him. He alleged that he had entered the army as a means of employment, and from liking the service. It appeared that be had done his duty well since he had been with the regiment ; no one bad previously mistrusted him; and he therefore left the investigs tidn without any accusation appearing against him, that he bad been influenced by other than honest motives in bringing forward the charge which had led to the inquiry. He still persisted in asserting, after the charge was dismissed, that the canteen-keeper was a spy in disguise. We cannot look for a police system so complete as that which has gradually been cultivated and per fected in France, and applied to the camps in the Crimea t but ne one can deny that we are tar behind what is absolutely nea sorry for due precaution and the general safety. A systematic inspection of the numberless sutlers' establishments in the English camps, and a proper registration of the camp fol lowers of every denomination, are matters of urgent requirement. (FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.) BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Ave. 26. Since my last nothing of greet impartanoe has taken place, but the allied armies have been constantly on the alert, expecting an attack in front and in the. Tcheroaya valley, or about Raider. Only last night the Highlanders were kept from going down to the " right attack" trenches with their companions, the Guards, so as to be prepared this morning at 3 for an attack from the enemy near Beide:. All the field batteries and cavalry received orders to be reedy to turn out at 3 also, and the guards of the trenches were increased by sending down and keeping down besides the Brigade of Chards, about 1,100 strong, the whole of the Light Division The order for men to be confined to camp has yet been rescinded, and owing to the orders to different divisions to hold themselves in readiness to be employed at a moment's notice being so fre quent, engineer officers have been told off to all the divisions, except the Highland one :—First Division, Captain Cooke, R.E. ; Second Division, Lieutenant Brine, R.E.; Third Division, Captain Montagu, R.E. ; Fourth Division, Lieutenant Neville, R.B. ; Light Division, Major Huston, R.E. Since the 21st the following officers have been wounded in the right at tack. On the 23rd, Lieutenant Wield, 95th Regiment, severely in left breast by a grape shot. This officer rose from the ranks. On the morning of the 24th Lieutenant Evered, of the Queen, wounded severely on the side by a piece of shell. This officer is brother of Lieut. Bested of the 54tb Regiment, formerly of the 7th Dragoon Guards. Yesterday evening, while creeping aims the *di parallel, where his body was not ea& ciently covered, through the rock in the trench not having been sufficiently blasted away, C.ptain James Browne, Royal Engineers, was wounded io the left shoulder severely, but not dangerously, by Minis rifle ball. This officer is the only son of the Dean of Kilkenny, and grandson of Lord Kilmaine. He has a sister, the Hon. Mrs. Lindsay, wife of Colonel Lind say, of the Grenadier Guards, now living at The rapia. lam told that this is the fourth Browne of the same family killed or wounded in the present war. I suppose if there is one officer more than another that has been grossly passed over, and who ought t have been made a brevet major for the Quarries, that officer is this Captain Browne. He not only on the 7th Jane commanded the Engineers and the whole of the workieg parties, but be himself actually caused to be made, atter the first assault, both the lodgment sad communication, and thereby was chiefly the means of enabling us to hold the Quarries tram the repeated attacks of the enemy. In addition to all this, his cervices were "eulogised" in Loa Raglan's despatches. I am informed that es hie return from Therspis, on the 14th of August, where he had been for the electively of his health, for about fourteen days, finding that he had not been promoted evea amongst the large number of captains that were, both for the 7th and 18th of Jane, he spoke to Sir Harry Jones on the subject, who then said to hiss—" Yes, you decidedly ought to have been promoted. It is not my fault. I will speak or write to the Commander-in-Chief about it." I regret to say that Captain Browne's case happens to be only one of many in which the corps of engineers is sadly neglected by its own authorities at home, who natu rally enough are not anxious to see young men, com paratively speaking, promoted. During Captain Browne's absence from duty, Capt. Cooke, R.E., as before, will become director of the right attack. Sir Harry Jove', I understand, is again very ill. this time from fever; and I am sorry to have to acquaint yon that while on his passage to Scutari, on the 14th instant, Captain Nelson, 8.C., died from weakness caused originally by Crimean fever. He was a most promising officer, and his loss is deeply felt by his brother officers. He bad been nine years in the service, three of them in the West Indies ; and he leaves a young widow and child to mourn hie death. There can be little doubt that it this officer had been placed sooner on board ship hislifemighthave been saved. This was also the rime with CoL Tylden. The French have not been advancing much lately, and the firing on all sides has for the last three or four days been nothing more than usual. But the enemy have taken to trying to throw shell and shot into our different camps. Yesterday they succeeded in tilling a horse, the property of Capt. King, Royal Horse Artillery, Aide-de•Camp to Lieut.-General Markham. This officer was brother to the late Capt. King, 32nd Regt., orderly officer to Lord Raglan, who died of cholera, and who originally came out here to meet his groat friend General Markham, to whom he was to have been aide-de-camp. You will be glad to hear that both Lieut. Dennis, 3rd Buffs, and Major Henry, Royal Artillery, are this morning much better. THE BALTIC. (11011 OVZ OWN 001, REVEL ROADS, AUOUST 27. Previous accounts of the movements of the Baltic fleet will have acquainted you with the arrival of the squadron under the immediate command of Admiral Dundee at this aashorsge, leaving a couple of steamers to watch the enemy's movemente, and to cruise off Bweaborg. _ _ _ Respecting the bombardment of thit fortress, a detailed account of which was transmitted by the Vinare, via Dantzio, we have learnt through the islanders that in Revel telegraphic despatches had been received from the capital, giving the govern ment version of the affair. In this report they admit a loss of as many as 400 men killed, and about 1,200 wounded, which, judging from the vast quantity of shell projected into so email a spike, crowded, as it appears to have been, with 12,000 troops, rhea not appear at all exaggerated; but rather the reverse.• Of the destruction of the 160 gun-boat sheds there is no doubt, and the demo lition of vast quantities of stores, materiel, and bar racks, with the addition of five hulks, which were used as receiving ships and barracks for troops as well as blue jacket's, is confirmed. Although everything of an inflammable matter was burnt, and two batteries were destroyed by the explo sion of the magazines, still the actual fortifications are standing, and probably on a nearer acquaintance may prove as effective as ever; the result of the bombard ment 'helms realised the most sanguine expecta tions, and persons acquainted with the subject are convinced that a continuation or following up of the attack would have been productive of no further re sults; but the probability is that we might have had two or three of our fine line-of-battle ships disabled if not totally destroyed, especially labouring under the disadvantages of a want of knowledge as to the navigation of the intricate waters beyond the position of oar lines. • This earlier sad more candid report appears to hate berm eappnssed. RUSSIA. The .noslonde Allmaana Tidning, which appears at Helsingtors, announces that, in consequence of the war, the University of Helsingfors Mill be closed this JERUSALEM. A letter from Jerusalem, of the 18th ult., in the Moniteur, says: The civil discords which for several years have constantly desolated Palestine, lately assumed such a serious cha racter aa to call for the employment of force. Certain pow erful sheiks of the cantons of Hap.lrse and Hebron broke out in open revolt, and committed deplorable tams's. Fortunately, however, there wee no ensemble in their movements. The mountain of Na,olose was promptly pacified, and Kauai! Pacha was able to concentrate all his efforts against the Sheik Abdurrahmen-Amer, who kept Hebron, es it were, besieged. The governor took the field with 300 nigglers, some hundreds t f horsemen, 1,000 Arab contingents, and four pieces of artillery. The insur gent Sheiks retired before him, and fortified themselves in Idhns, one of their principal villages, where they threw op spinneret/um. After a week's %melees negotiations, during I which time numerous reinforeemenu were preparing to come and take part in the revolt, Kismil Priebe was obliged to use his artillery against the entrenchments, and, in spite of aa obstioste resistance, eo carry the village by assault. Seventy of the rebels were takes prisoners, 22 were killed, and a great number wounded. The village ',itself was destroyed. The effect produced by this vigorous act hes been very great on tie halt-savage inhabi tants of the country. The great mei oity of the issurgent Sheiks came immediately and made their submission, and paid the arrest of the tribute which they h►d refuted to Pay for the lest three years. On leaving Hekron, Kiamit Pasha was to pass along the plains between Obsess and Kentish, where considerable outrages have been committed sad some blood shed. He will, it is said, reach Jerusalem in aboat a fortaight. It will have been noticed that Prince Ciortchakoff, while admitting in his report that the loss upon his side on the 16th was severs, omits to return the numbers. The Military Gazette of Nritnna, a journal not likely to overstate the Rennin) reverse, says that besides the three generals killed, the Russian army lost 1,451 killed, including 45 officers, and 4,876 wwanded.
