With such multiplied examples of the great inferiority of these raw levies before their eyes, it may be worth while for the home authorities to con sider whether or not some plan be practicable by which none but old troops should be sent out hither— at least till all such now on home genies have been drafted to this army.

It is armed with five guns, and has also awns mortars in a battery immediately behind. ' Blanches the only casualty among the officers in the batteries since the present bombardment opened. Several men have been wounded in the right attack to-day, from the bursting of our own shells. Towards even ing a rocket tube burst in the Quarry battery, and eight or nine men of the Rifle Brigade were wounded by the fragments. The French have occasionally fired by salvos. in the left attack; they have fired very little in the right. The Russians have replied from their works, but have scarcely fired one to twenty of the guns of the allies. The Malakkoff has been alto gether silent, and the Redan almost so; but this was the case previous to the 18th of June, when no want of guns was found at the time of the assault. Fourteen deserters gave themselves up to the French in the Malakhoff a few nights ago. They were headed by a Pole, who came forward on all fours, whispering " Francais, Francais." lie also, holding his cap in one hand, made a slight noise by shaking his other hand in the cap, partly to attract attention, and partly, perhaps, to show he was not carrying arms. The French, after observation, allowed him to come forward. The Pole explained that he had brought some of the Russians with him, and the shaking of his hand in the cap formed the signal for them to advance, which they did, ais the Pole bad done, by creeping in on all Jours. The Russian sentries were not far distant, and coald scarcely have missed them had they perceived the men escaping while in the open ground. They described. themselves to be very hardly worked and 12 fed; but this is the usual statement of all deserters.

Another ship in the harbour took fire between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the high wind pre vented its flames from being extinguished. It is still burning, and throwing a reddish glare upon the heavy canopy of clouds above. An active dis charge of shells is going on from all the works. 9 p.m.—The arrangements for attacking the Re dan, after the French attack of the Malakhoff, have been announced officially. The Light and 2nd Divi sions are to share this important duty. The 2nd Brigade, Light Division, and an equal number of the 2nd Division, form the first body of attack. The covering party is to consist of 100 men of the 2nd Bat talion of the Rifle Brigade. The Ist and Highland Divisions are to be formed in the Karabelnai a ravine ea a reserve. The men are to take two days rations with them into the trenches. The first body of attack and the enuring party are to assemble at the usual ' rendezvous for the trenches at 7 s.m. ; the second storming party, the supports, and reserve will parade in the same place at intervals of half an hour each. Sept. B.—A clear cool morning. Wind rather high from the north. All the new batteries have opened. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT LATE ON THE DANUBE.) TURKISH CAMP, SEPT. 8. Omer Pacha arrived here shortly after the depar ture of the last mail, and the following morning paid a visit to General Pelissier, to announce to him his intention of proceeding immediately to Asia, and taking the troops that are here with him. It appears that a very unpleasant "steno' followed, in conse quence of General Peliasier replying that of course Omer Pacha would like to go to Asia, because there he might do as he pleased, but that, inasmuch as his troops were absolutely necessary for the defence of Balaklava, their departure was a matter to which be would by no means consent. A conference was held at the English head-quarters the next day, at which it was finally arranged that as soon as the Turkish Contingent arrived from Constantinople, that is to may, about fifteen days hence, Omer Pasha should be allowed to withdraw one division of the troops that are here, that of Osman Pacha • and that the remainder, with 2,000 men from Keetch, and two regiments of cavalry from Eupatoria, about 10,000 in all,should be merged in the contingent, and remain on the Tchernaya. Reasonable as this ar rangement seems, and unreasonable as a proposal to withdraw the force which defends the right flank of the allies at a most important crisis, when the Anglo- French soldiers are worn out by toil in the trenches, must seem to any man not blinded by egotism, his Highness appears to have been by no means satisfied with it, and only accepted it as a painful necessity—returned home apparently in high dudgeon, wrote some unpleasant epistolary communi cations to the French head-quarters, and on Wednes day morning packed up his traps, and went off to Constantinople, where it is said he has some little business to perform before going to reconnoitre the Asiatic coast, in order to choose a landing-place for the troops. Let me now call your attention to the fact that he we went down to Constantinople before, more than a month ago, knowing previous to his departure that Kars was invested—that he %there spent five weeks of precious time in receiving the G.C.B. from Lord Stratford, and some tchifiits, worth, it is said, 40,0001., from the Sultan, and I know not what beside ; and that be is now, on the Bth of September, gone down again to remain a week or two more, after which he will reconnoitre the Asiatic coast simply, and then bring down his army, although he well knows that Kars is hard pressed, and that in the middle of October all military operations in that region become impossible. If this be the way that the war is to be carried on with English and French money, all I can say is that the sooner peace is made the better, for thus conducted it is a snare and a delusion. I venture to predict—l possibly may prove a false prophet—that the Turkish army this year will simply disembark on some point of the Asiatic coast, intrench themselves, and, instead of either ad vancing on Tiflis, or proceeding to the relief of Kars, will quietly go into winter quarters. Achmet Pacha, the mashie who figured at Kalafat , and who quarrelled with Omer Pacha at Eupatoria, has been reconciled and goes back to the latter place to command the troops there. Zaffir Pacha (Count Koacelski) accompanies him as his chef d'etat major. There is a good deal of murmuring among the Turks at,the prospect of being handed over to the contin gent. What they mainly fear is, it appears, being deprived of the fez, and compelled to wear e European what°. The bombardment has been going on on a tre mendous scale for the last three days. To-day the assault will take place along the whole line at noon. You will have heard the result long before this reaches you.
