hare prawns and gun-boats attached to it. And he had no doubt that we should hear of brilliant successes in the Baltic. Let the house at any rate be persuaded 'that all that British officers and seamen could do would be per- farmed by the fleet about to sail. (Hear, hear.) W Sir C. WOOD—I de not think it advisable for me to advert in the slightest degree to the various topics introduced sub ject the hon. and learned gentleman who has brought this before the house. Certainly in my ri never before known such a course pursuede,iaPnedrl have think that the house will not sanction with approbation the quoting of extracts from private letters and official reports nothproh perly before the house, and relating to operations wh ic h may be repeated. I will only protest in the strongest terms I can use against such a course, as for the first time in my experience, and I believe in the experience of the oldest member present, has been to-night pursued in this house. My right hon. friend has said that it rests with the execu tive Government to say whether these papers should be iroduced. It seems to nee utterly impossible, and quite nconsistent with the interests of the public service, that these letters should be produced—letters which discuss the means, the possibility, and the mode of attacking the for tresses of Ramie. I, like the gallant admiral who has just addressed the home, entertain the confident expectation that all that can be accomplished by British valour, tem pered by discretion, will be done by the gallant fleet which is now about to leave our shores. But I would ask any gentleman in this house whether it can conduce to the pub• lic interest that the mode and the possibility of such attacks as those to which I have adverted should be now laid before them ? I apprehend it simply requires that statement to be made for the house to see that it is the duty of the Government to resist the production of these papers. I entertain the most entire conviction that the same opinion will be entertained by any hon. gentleman -who hears that statement, and that the house will unani monsly, and without a dissentient voice, agree that it is Impossible these papers should be produced. It seems un necessary to say a single word more in argument in sup port of that proposition ; for if its truth is not self-evident, no argument that I could use would strengthen it. (Hear.) Captain SCOBELL contended that Admiral Napier was placed at a great disadvantage from the undue expects tions which were entertained by the country with respect to what could be, or would be, achieved by the Baltic fleet. He believed that it would have been quite impos sible for him to have attacked the Russian fortresses in the exercise of a prudent discretion. He thought also that if he was to have been removed from his command, the determination of the Admiralty might have been conveyed to him with more courtesy and consideration. (Hear.) He was convinced that if Sir C. Napier had attempted to force his way into any of the Russian ports in the Baltic a great disaiter would have occurred. There was one expres sion used by the late First Lord of the Admiralty which hs hoped would be withdrawn. The right hon. baronet said be admitted Sir O. Napier had shown that "discretion" which was " the better part of valour." (Hear.) They all knew what that meant. It was an unjust expression, for the career of Sir C. Napier would compare, considering his opportunities, with that of any man who held her Ma• jesty's commission. (Cheers.) It was to be hoped, there fore, that the right hen. baronet did not mean to impeat h the valour of Admiral Napier when he said that it ha been accompanied by a large measure of discretion. (Hear.) Sir C. Napier complained o f th e l etter of t h e Adm i ra l ty ordering him to strike his flag and come on shore. The Admiralty did write curt letters • it was part of their system ; and whil e h e wou ld not cal l an arbitrary board he had no hesitation in saying that it required a mots blind obedience than any other department of the Govern ment. (Hear.) Sir J. GRAHAM—I am extremely obliged to the hon. and gallant gentleman for having called my attention t the expression which he has referred to. If thatexpression, 'with reference to the discretion of Sir C. Napier, can bear the interpretation which my hon. and gallant friend has put upon it—and naval officers are rightly sensitive upus these points—l most willingly retract the expression— (cheers)—as it was not intended to convey any such impu tation. Far from it. It would be an absurdity to iais. such an imputation, for the life of the gallant admiral falsifies it. (Cheers.) Mr. M. GIBSON—The right hon. gentleman in his reply to the hon. and learned gentleman opposite said he re gretted that this question was brought under our notice by a lawyer. I think the experience of the right hon. gents man as First Lord of the Admiralty wilt suggest to hi mind some very good reasons why naval officers should nut put themselves prominently forward in disputes between the Board of Admiralty and those whom they employ. ( A laugh.) I quite agree that it is unreasonable to revive any snore the old dinner at the Reform Club, and think it was unnecessary for the hon. and learned gentleman opposite even to tell us of the dinner at the Mansion-house. I am willing to pair off the dinner at the Mansion-house with the dinner at the Reform Club—(a laugh)—for, in that respect, I think the belligerents stand upon an equal footing. With regard to papers having been garbled, pri vate letters quoted from, and public documents of great importance introduced into this house without having been previously laid upon the table by the authority of the Cs)- vernment, all I have to say is, that the motion before us is for papers, and when a member submits a motion ques tioning the conduct of the Executive Government, he must make out a prima facie case; and for that purpose what can he refer to but documents ? Does the right hon. baronet dispute the accuracy of the quotations made by the hon. and learned member opposite ? No, he does not, but he questions the propriety of introducing such ex tracts; and I must say that he has shown a marvellous discretion" in declining to go into those public papers, and to meet the quotations of the hon. member opposite. (Hear, hear.) I could not collect exactly what the present First Lord of the Admiralty said. (A laugh.) I have been accustomed to sit, a good way from the Treasury Bench, and now I am more distant than ever--(laughter) —bat I understood the right hon. gentleman to commence Ilia speech by stating that he did not intend to advert to the subject immediately under discussion, but would say generally that the production of the papers in question vests inconvenient to the public interests. That is a curt re -ply. (A laugh.) I wish to know whether it is not pos sible to produce papers sufficient to throw light upon the matter as regards Sir C. Napier's complaints, and yet not injure the public interests, by furnishing us with such extracts as may be necessary for the first purpose, but withholding, in accordance with the common practice, those parts that are prejudicial to the interests of the 'country ? (Hear, hear,) Nothing is so common. No 'correspondence from the Foreign-office—ne public do .:u -anent whatever—is moved for in this house except with a 'complete understanding that only extracts should be pro duced if any portion of such horrespondence is injurious to the public interests. I think that a similar rule might be followed in this case, and when we remember that the cor respondence moved for dates only from the 20th of Decem ber, when Sir C. Napier hauled down his flag, and there- Sore does not so immediately relate to the operations in the Baltic ; that seems 'to be an additional reason why we should not have any difficulty in agreeing to the pro eluction of that correspondence. But what is the position of Sir C. Napier ? Has a naval officer no redress in this country ? (Hear, hear.) He has been, say what you please, censured by the Admiralty. It is understood by the country at large that the Government is net satisfied with his conduct. He demands inquiry. He has a right to de mand it in justice to his ewn reputation. He goes in a proper way to the right hon. gentleman the member for Carlisle, and asks for a court-martial. It is refused. (Hear, bear.) He next goes to the Prime Minister of the late, and also, I believe, to the Prime Minister of the present Government, and iss for inquiry. He is answered that there is no ease for iavestigation. What resource is there left to him but to come here ? I ask, are we, the repre sentatives of the interests and honour of England—if a public servant comes to us and tells us that he has made application in vain to the proper authorities, and has used without effect the legitimate means of redress, and that he only comes to us as a last resource, are we to turn upon him and say, " Wewill grant you no redress—we will look into no papers; it is very inconvenient to the country to interfere between the Executive and the officers whom it employs r It appears that we cannot take such a course if we wish to discharge the duty which undoubtedly de volves upon us, to nee not only that the Executive is fairly dealt with by its rAficers, but also that the public servants are fairly treated by the Executive. (Hear.) There is such a thing, when great expectations have been excited, and when public cl;.sappointineat follows the want of success, as shifting responsibility upon the public servants, and es caping freer s that fair share of blame which the Executive ought to hear. (Hear.) It is for us independent members of Parliament to take care that unfortunate Administra tions dss not victimise faithful and zealous public servants 'who have endeaioured to discharge their duty, and who are not responsible for any part of the failure that may have occurred. (Cheers.) I can assure the right hon. gentleman the member for Carlisle that my object in interfering in this matter is a public one. Undoubtedly, I have for some time past had a personal acquaintance with Sir Charles Napier; but if I had not, having read the documents to which the hon. and learned gentleman opposite has ad verted, I should unquestionably have felt it my duty to take a part in this discussion. Let me now refer to the -despatch of the 4th of October, to which the right hon. gentleman has alluded, and which was the first despatch that emanated from the Admiralty implying that they were dissatisfied with Sir C. Napier's proceedings, and goading him on to an attack upon Sweaborg. The right hon. gentleman says that the report of the fall of Sebasto pol had ne effect in inducing the Government to alter their order, add to goad Sir C. Napier to making a n a tt ac k u p on Sweaborg. I hold the despatch in my hand. Undoubtedly, the word " Sebastopol" is not mentioned ; but what are the contents of the despatch, given, be it observed, as the reason why Sir C. Napier should attempt a hazardous en terprise against Sweaborg with his fleet alone, contrary to kis own judgment, contrary t o th e j u d gmen t of the French admiral, and contrary to the judgment of the Englishgepe mel engineers ? The 3d of October was the day upon. -which the news of the fall of Sebastopol eame to this coun try- The despatch from the Admiralty is dated the 4th, and it says, "Recent events in the Black Sea will not en ctrZ`-'nee "-the Russians to attempt any enterprise of more num). hazard and daring at this precise moment."

Am I accu rately repeating the right hoe. gentleman's statements ? Sir J. GRAHAM—To some extent. Mr. GIBSON—I have no desire to misrepresent the right hon. gentleman, but I am sure he said that Sir C. Napier in the first in stance informed the Government that Sweaborg was unaasailable. What wee the facts? Sir C. Napier on the 30th of May received certain plans of Swea borg. He had not then inspected nor even seen it himself, and as was his duty at the time, he forwarded those plans to the Admiralty, with the observation that, according to those plans, Sweaborg appeared to be unassailable. But on the 20th of June, having had an opportunity of inspect ing Sweaborg, he submitted a plan for taking it—a plan which required-a-doseription:of f0n:44,1,4th which- he was' not then provided, and with which, if he had been re vidod, ho considered he should have been successful ; but he never said is any part of that correspondence—and I _ti' 'dMEiaiaa THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY . EVENING, MARCH 9, 1855, obvious that if they were not able to praise Sir Charles Napier very highly it was not because they were not disposed to do full justice to him. At the dinner at the Mansion-house, Sir C. Napier stated that he had been sent to the Baltic without pilots and without proper charts. Now, there were nearly a hundred persons in the fleet who had been more or less pilots, and in the flag -ship there were no less than seven pilots. (Hear.) As to the charts, they were so accurate that the gallant admiral had himself in his despatches borne testimony to their accuracy. They were the best charts which the Government could procure, and were, in feet, the best charts in existence. (Hear.) So far as he knew, Sir Charles Napier had but one enemy is the world, and that enemy was himself—(hear, hear) —and he had done so much to destroy his reputation, that the reputation of no other man could have survived it. (Hear.) Mr. MURROUGH said whenlit was stated that Sir C. Napier had in his fleet a large number of pilots and a sufficient supply of charts, it ought, in justice to the gal lant admiral, to have been added, that the pilots were so utterly unacquainted with the navigation they had to superintend that they were dismissed, and that the charts provided by the Government were so faulty that a great part of them were sent home, and those which were used by the officers were obtained by themselves and purchased at their own expense. The country had come to the con clusion that it was a matter of convenience to the Govern ment to remove Admiral Dundas from one position and put him in another, and the only way to do that was to get rid of Sir Charles Napier. (This observation was re ceived with loud laughter, called forth by the honourable member having fallen into the error of supposing that the Admiral Dundas who had been appointed to the command of the Baltic fleet is the officer who recently returned from the Black Sea. Mr. Murrough was not at first aware of the cause of the laughter; but, when it was explained to him, he consoled himself with the remark, " At least, it is one of the family.") He thought that the least the house could do was to rant the papers which had been asked "or. Mr. BENTINCK would not, in the absence of the papers I necessary to the formation of a correct conclusion, express any opinion upon the particular question before the house. He was, however, glad that this discussion had taken place, as it would call attention to the practice of placing civilians at the head of our great military and naval departments. (Hear, hear.) Was it possible to conceive anything more disadvantageous to the country, to the good conduct of the service, or to the high reputation of the right hon. baronet (Sir James Graham) himself, than he, sitting over the fire in Whitehall, should be called upon to give an opinion as to the manner in which naval operations were to be con ducted in the Baltic ? (Hear.) He trusted that the re sult of this discussion would be to lay the axe to the root of what he believed to be a most prejudicial system. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL :said the case, as pre sented to the house, seemed to him to lie in a very narrow compass. The hon. and learned member for Wallingford (Mr. Malins) grounded it upon the fact that Sir Charles Napier had been dismissed and censured, and said it was due, as a matter of justice to the character of that dis tinguished officer, that the correspondence which had taken place since a cent ain period should be brought before the house. The foundation of the case was Sir C. Napier's having been dismissed or censured, or both. Now, as he (the Attorney-General) understood the facts—and not having seen the statement of the gallant admiral ho had had no means of becoming acquainted with them except from this dissuasion—Sir C. Napier, upon his return to this country, instead of being continued in his command, received from the Admiralty an order to haul down his flag. That was called a dismissal ; and further it was said that the letter implied a censure upon the gallant officer. In the first place, he apprehended that this was no dismissal of Sir Charles Napier —(hear)—that his com mand had terminated in the ordinary course of things. The fleet which he had commanded had been called home and dispersed. It had ceased to be a fleet, and with the termination of its existence as a fleet terminated also, in the natural course of things, and according to the universal practice of the Admiralty, the command of the officer who had been at its head. He received a letter, which it might be was rather curt than courteous, but which it appeared to him (the Attorney-General) was in the usual form in which the Admiralty called upon an officer to haul down his flag. It was clear, therefore, that the facts did not constitute a dismissal, and that the letter did not amount to a censure. But suppose the gallant admiral had been dismissed, was the executive Government of this country, acting on behalf of the Crown, to be told that if it ceased to have full confidence in the capacity of an officer it was not justified in recalling him? (Hear, hoar.) What could be more difficult or more delicate than to determine whether an officer was entitled to the full confidence of the authority wlaich employed him? Surely it was within the province and within the duty of the Board of Admiralty, at any time if it thought proper, to recall an officer; and though the recall might imply a cer tain amount of distrust, it might not imply a want of con fidence, it did not necessarily involve a censure. He ap prehended that an officer who was recalled was not war ranted in demanding an inquiry or a court-martial. The re . 3all amounted to nothing more than an expression that the Government had no confidence, not in his courage, that might be undoubted—not in his qualities -as a sea man thos3 might be unquestioned—b u t i n hi s di scre ti on, in his energy, or in some one or other of those qualities which went to constitute a great commander, and in which a man might bo to a certain extent deficient, and yet might be a most distinguished and meritorious officer. Hera it did not amount to that. The gallant officer was not recalled; his command terminated with his fleet and it must be in the sole province of the executive to say whether or not a command should be continued to an officer. (Hear, hear.) As for censure, the letter contains none, and the hon. and learned gentleman who made this motion had himself read a letter in which the Admiralty expressed their satisfaction with Sir C. Napier. Of what, then, did he complain? Why, that he was not again sent to the Baltic. (Hear.) It was said that the p.peros now asked for involved nothing the publication of which would be detrimental to the public service. He (the Attorney-Gencral) was infoinila that this was a complete mistake. Sir Charles Napier, thinking that his merits had not been sufficiently recognised, entered into a discussion of the subject, and a correspondence ensued, in which he was told that the question whether or not the attack upon Sweaborg ought to have been made was fully gone into ; and the house was told, both by the late and by the present First Lord of the Admiralty, that this correspondence went into details the publication of which would be most pre judicial to the public service. (Hear, hear.) Those who supported this motion having failed to make out that Sir Charles had been either dismissed or censured, he asked what there was in the position in which the gallant officer stood in relation to the Admiralty which could justify the production of documents which could not be produced without detriment to the public service ? Had he in any letter or despatch from the Admiralty been censured for want of courage, of conduct, or of a die regard to the duty he had to perform, he would have been entitled to an in quiry, and if he could not obtain it in the ordinary way he would have had a right, as every Englishman had, to appeal to tie great inquest of the country. As it was, he thought that no case had been made out for the production of these documents. Mr. OTWAY said that this discussion had shown that the statements which had been repeatedly made in that house as to Sir Charles Napier's having a complete carte blanche to do as he pleased were not correct, since the First Lord of the Admiralty appeared to have urged him to attack Sweaborg, and to do certain things at all ha zards. Under ordinary circumstances he should have voted for the refusal of those papers, as they might con tain matters, the publication of which would be prejudi cial to the public service. As, however, they had been fully gone into in the course of this discussion, and there was no longer any mystery about their contents, he should, if there was a division, vote for the motion. Sir GEO. TYLER thought that Sir Charles Napier had not been fairly treated. At the same time the order to haul down his flag did not strike him (Sir G. Tyler) in the character of a dismissal, because, according to the regula tions of the seavice, in case of a fleet which had been em ployed upon a particular service, it was a common occur rence that, when the service was performed and the fleet returned, the flag was as a matter of course hauled down. (Hear, hear.) He felt as a naval officer—although like the gallant admiral he was supposed to be too old for service— that if this had occurred to himself he should have consi dered it a hardship. At the same time he gave to the gal lant admiral every credit for the manner in which ho had conducted that magnificent fleet. The gallant admiral felt it to be impossible to adopt the plan which the Admi ralty at home thought it expedient to determine. He, of course, being upon the spot, was the best judge. He (Sir G. Tyler) thought that tho despatch after the taking of Bomarsund, in which it was said that the Admiralty ap proved highly of the gallant admiral's conduct, but that they could not entirely express their satisfaction that he did not go to Sveaborg, might appear as a censure to the individual to whom it was addressed, and he had no doubt but that the gallant admiral felt it so, without its having bean intended as one by those who sent it. In conclusion, ho begged to defend the naval officers against the insinua tion which had been thrown out against them by the hon. member for Manchester, that they would not take up such a case as the present. He was quite certain that these hon. and gallant members were as independent as the right hon. gentleman himself. Lord PALMERSTON- Sir, I confess that this discus sion has been a source of great regret to me, and I think it a bad example. (Hear.) Hon. members, who feel themselves called upon to vindicate the character of a pro fessional man in this house, have in doing so read in the course of their speeches documents which they call upon the house to determine whether they shall be produced or not. It is a sort of begging the question, which I think is not the proper way of conducting a discussion in this house. With regard to the motion, I think the house has come pretty well to the conclusion that there are good reasons why these documents which are called for should not be produced. I shall undoubtedly give my vote against the motion of the hon. and learned member (Mr. Malins). I think the hon, and learned gentleman has made a mistake in point of discretion, and in regard to the course which he has thought fit to pursue. Another hon. and learned gen tleman has made a mistake of a different kind, and, led away by the similarity of their names, has concluded that the Admiral Dundas who is going to the Baltic is the same Admiral Dundas, or a relative of the same Admiral Dundas, who comm a nd e d the fleet in the Black Sea. (Laughter.) The hon. and learned gentlemap perhaps is not aware that in this country, and especially in the northern parts of it, there are many persons who bear the same name who are not the same persons, and, in fact, no relations. (Laughter.) I have had tho pleasure and the honour of a long acquaintance with the gallant admiral, Sir Charles Napier, who is the subject of discussion, and admiring, as I do, his professional andpersonal character, it would have been a matter of sincere regret to me if he had been in the position of a man who had been censured and dismissed for conduct pursued in an important command. I think it has been clearly established that he has been neither one nor the other-Ilhat he has been neither censured nor dismissed. (Hear, hear.) Sir, the hon. and learned mem ber quoted opinions expressed by me in a different room to this—(laughter)---on the professional merits and distin guished qualities of my gallant friend, for so I must call him. I retract notning of those opinions, and I am proud to say that I think the courage, professional skill, and ability of my gallant friend, stand as high new as they did at the moment when I made those observations. (Hear, hoar.) It has been my fortune upon former occasions to profit in an official capaeity by the invaluable services of Sir Charles Napier. He has rendered a most important service by the able and distinguished manner in which he has performed his duty upon this occasion ; and it ie only due to him to say that nothing had occurred, in my opinion, in the course of last year which sullies or diminishes that high character. (Hear, hesr.) Sir Charles Napier has rendered important services in the command of the Baltic fleet. He showed greet skill and ability in condu.tting that fleet through a most in tricate and dangerous navigation. He brought back that magnificent fleet without any injury from a soa in which a man of less skill and less judgment might perhaps have sus tained a seriou s an d grea t di sas t er. H o h as secure d the countrytho.naillinst all th ose ev il s w hi c h m i g h t h ave ar i sen i f p „,it 2e Russia o h quit e. its ports h oeu an (i the sea seas. e swhhaullleonolly. repeat that the motion which is now made is one which , in my opinion, the house ought by no moans to agree to ; but I wish it to be disti Italy understood that in negativing the motion I do not it t the slightest degree im pugn the character of Sir Charl es Napier. I think his character stands as high now as ever, and that he will always rank amongst the most d ist inguished men of his profession. (Hear.) Sir J. WALSH, amidst the imi ?atient interruptions of the house, said that in his opinion tthe result of the debate must be highly gratifying to Sir C I. Napier, who had been placed in a situation of great hard ship. Hee had displayed the highest moral courage, which be was afraid her Ma jesty's Ministers had not done, in standing by and acting upon his ownlepinions. Under th is impression, he trusted that the hon. and learned memi ser would not press his motion to a division. Mr. MALINS, in reply, said th a noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government had made a statement which must have taken the house by cur prise, that he thought as highly of Sir Charles Napier as e ver he did, and that he would repeat the opinions which he had expressed on a former occasion, and that the con ntry was under great ob ligations to Sir C. Napier for tht services which he had performed in the BaWe. Now, whether he (Mr. Malins) was right or not that air Charles . Napier was dismissed in October, he supposed that there w as no doubt that he was now dismissed. Sir C. Napier w as a party to one signal victory, the taking of Bomarsund, . and if the noble lord was correct ho was entitled to the thank •sof Parliament. He(Mr. Malins) had been taunted with bt ing a lawyer, and an equity lawyer. It was not as a lam 'yer that he had brought forward this motion, but as a mem her of Parliament. He came to the house as a representat Lye of the people, and it was not to be supposed that becaui 03 he spoke from briefs in the morning that he spoke fror, a briefs in the evening also. He brought the motion fc xward because he con sidered that a great and distiog aished officer had been treated in an unworthy and and iirnified manner. It had been said that be had set a bad e rample in reading private letters, the production of which , formed, in point of fact, the object of the motion. He deprecated, however, the adoption of n principle which should forbid, in the case of a distinguished officer, the readini of correspondence which should tend to vindicate his charts, :ter, and contended that, in the present instance, be had no t overstepped the bounds of prudence and discretion. Aft, sr what he had heard from the Government as to the p robable injurious effects on public interests of the proclucti on of the farther corres pondence he had moved for, ho sl aould feel it his duty to withdraw the motion. The motion was then withdrawn 1. The house then went into coma tittee on the Purchasers Protection against Judgments Bil 1, and the various clauses were agreed to. The Tea Duties Decline Suspension Bill was read a third time and passed. The other orders of the day ware then disposed of, and . the house adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock. TB F BATTLE AT EITPATORIA. LIST OF KILLED AND WOUNDED. [FROM A SUPPLEMENT TO TUESDAY'S GAZZTTE.] WAR DEPARTMENT, MARCH 8. Lord Pantnure has this day received despatches and enclosures, of which the follewing are copies, addressed to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, and to his lord ship, by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, Feb. 20. My Lord Duke,—Your Grace will have leart , t, by my telegraphic despatch of the 18th inst., thai the enemy had on the previous morning, at daylight, at tacked Eupatoria with a very large force, and a power-t ol body of artillery, and hack been repulsed, after an en , gagement which termirated with their retirement at 10 tt.m. _ I have now the hoacur to lay before your Grace co pies of two letters which I have received from Colonel Simmons, who is attached to the head quarters of Omer Pasha, containing the details of the action ; and, while your Grace will rejoice `,o see that the Turkish . troops which have been landscl at Eupatoria have availed themselves of the earliest opportunity to show that the character they acquired on the Danube was well merited and remained unimpaired, you will join in the regret which I feel that they have suffered so considerable a• loss, and that among the killed is numbered the Gene ral of Division, Selim Pasha (an Egyptian), and among the wounded a General of Brigade, also an Egyptian. This loss, however, and particularly that sustained by a battery of artillery, afford ample proof of the gallant and determined conduct of the troops, and of the serious nature of the attack made upon them, as well as their being worthy of their illustrious chief. I have great satisfaction in drawing your grace's at tention to that par of Lieutenant-Colonel Simmons' despatch, in which le bears testimony to the efficient assistance rendered ti the Ottoman army by her Majesty's ships in the bay, unCer the command of the Honourable Captain Hastings, if the Curacea.—l have, &c., RAGLAN. His Grace the Dike of Newcastle, &e. Eupatoria, Feb. 17, 1855, 1 P.M. My Lord,—l haat the honour to inform your lord ship that on the 14h inst4nt, several large convoys and arrivals of troop' were seen moving along the north shore of the Sasik Putrid Lake, from the eastward. This movement on the part of the enemy caused Omer Pasha to plan the garrison on the alert. No further movemen;, however, was seen yester day on the part of the , nemy; but this morning, at day light, they advanced in great force, and opened with ar tillery upon the entreadaments which enclose the town. The advanced line of h'arks, which I informed your lord ship it was his Highnarg's intention to erect, were not yet commenced. The enemy's artiller3 opened their fire about twelve hundred yards from tie place, covered by skirmish ers, and supported ly heavy masses of infantry in their rear, and cavalry on their flanks. The artillery subsequently took up asecond position mire in advance, about four hundred yards from a small crown work which is being erected ii front of the mills to the north eaat of the town, and after continuing their fire fur some time, the infantrf advanced to the attack s hav ing formed under the ;over of a wall about six ilzm dred yards from the rifiht of the town. They were re pulsed at this point, leaving from 150 to 200 dead on the field. On other points of the field a number of horses were left dead, but tba killed men were removed. At length, about 10 a.m. the whole force retired, covered by the artillery and cavalry. I am not able as yet to ascertain the number of men engaged, but I should think there were not less than 40,000 of all arms, with a very powerful artillery. As many as sixty of the enemy's guns must have been firing at one time, amongst them some 32-pounders. Prisoners report that they were accompanied by 100 glum. As yet all the particulars I have been able posi tively to ascertain is, that Liprandi's division (the 12th) was present. At present I understand that they are in position about five miles north from this, their left leaning on the Sasik Putrid Lake. It is with much pleasore I have to inform your Lord ship that the portion of her Majesty's fleet, under the Hon. Captain Hastings, have rendered most efficient assistance. The Valorous threw some well-directed shells and completely covered our left, whilst the Viper gun-boat, which was at first stationed on the left with the Valorous, by Captain Hastings' directions moved mills. and took up a flanking position on the right near the I cannot at present give your Lordship any details of the killed and wounded on the side of the Turks ; I re gret to say, however, that &Hui Pasha, commanding the Egyptian Brigade, is amongst the former. One battery of Turkish artillery was completely disabled, every gun having been struck and a great number (nearly one-thirdl of the horses killed.

My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your lordship that nothing of importance kas taken place here since the enemy retired yesterday. Owing to the deficiency of cavalry with the army of his Highness Omer Pasha, we are not able to obtain exact information as to the position of the enemy, who have entirely disappeared, so far as we can see, with the exception of the usual cavalry advanced posts. Convoys of waggons, however, have been seen from the fleet moving along the north shore of the Sasik Putrid Lake from the eastward. lam inclined, how ever, to believe that they are bringing forage and pro visions for the cavalry which surrounds us. In the meantime, however, his Highness is taking every precaution, by adding to the defences of the place, to provide against any further attempts of the enemy. Fortunately the two transports (sailing), containing artillery and materials for constructing works have arrived, and, in the course of the night, we shall have 12 or 14 more guns in position than yesterday. The parapets also have been raised, so that we may hope that our loss will not be so heavy on a future occasion. The total loss yesterday amounted to as follows, of all ranks : Turks-97 killed ; 277 wounded. French-4 killed ; 9 wounded. Total combatants-101 killed ; 286 wounded. Tartar population-13 killed ; 11 wounded. Horses of the Turkish army-79 killed ; 18 wounded. Amongst the killed of the Turks, were 1 General of Division, Selim Pasha, (Egyptian), 1 colonel, and 5 subaltern officers ; and amongst the wounded 1 General of Brigade (Egyptian), 4 superior, and 5 subaltern officers. Amongst the French wounded was an officer of the Henri IV., who was serving ashore in a land battery. A greater portion of the horses of one battery were killed, and 19 men of the same battery, the whole of the guns being disabled. I have not been able to obtain any further positive details of the enemy's force.--I am, &c., (Signed) JOHN SIMMONS, Capt., Royal Engineers, Brevet-Major.

The snow is still on the ground, and the nights are cold ; but the wind has subsided, and we have to-day a bright sunshine. Considerable activity continues to prevail in the move ment of the enemy's troops on the north side of the har bour, and convoys of waggons are constantly arriving, and the object of the Russians would appear to be to fortify the heights extending to their left, and looking upon the valley of the Tchernaya. The troops of the garrison having lodged themselves on the point of the spur of the ridge from Inkerman over the Careening Bay, at about 300 yards from the new French parallel, on the extreme right, General Canro bert determined to dislodge them, and this was gallantly effected at two o'clock this morning by 1,500 men, under the immediate command of General Monet, and the di rection of General Mayran, with, however, I regret to say, some less, the consequence of the heavy fire which was brought to bear upon them from the enemy's bat teries and the shipping whilst they were engaged in de molishing the works. When this object was accom plished they withdrew to the trenches, as had been their intention. The gallant General Monet is, I am much concerned to have to add, among the wounded. I inclose a return of casualties to the 22d instant. Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown hag, I am happy to say, resumed the command of the Light Divi sion in perfect health.

My Lord,—l do myself the honour, with reference to my despatch, No. 172, of the 20th instant, to trans mit to your lordship the translation of a letter I have had from Omer Pasha, in which his Highness has been so good as to give me a detailed account of the Russian attack upon Eupatoria, on the morning of the 17th instant, and of the brilliant manner in which he repulsed the enemy, and forced them to retire from before the place. ... . Your LOrdship will observe, with the greatest satis faction, that the conduct of the Turkish troops was re warkable fur its gallantry and determination, and that the ,Irrangements of the generalissimo were such as might Le expected from an officer of his high distinction and estabi;gbed reputation. I understa;2d from Colonel Simmons that the result of this successful action has had an excellent moral effect upon the Turkish ri:my, which has since been busily oc cupied in improving the defences and increasing the armament of the works. The English men-of-war, C. l .uragoa, Furious, Valorous, •nd Viper, the French steamer Veloce, and the Turkish steamer Schehfaer, greatly contributed to the success of the day by the energy of their co-operation and the power of their fire ; and Omer Pasha has expressed his sense of their valuable assistance, as well as that of a detachment of the French army, which your Lordship will regret to see sustained some loss in killed and wounded, and among the latter is a naval officer. --I have, &c. RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &c. (Translation.) Head-Quarters, Eupatoria, February, 1855. My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lord ship that the enemy attacked Eupatoria on the morning of the 17th instant. The troops intended for this attack had left the camp before Sebastopol six days ago, and other troops from Perekop and Simpheropol had joined them in the night of the 16th, and the morning of the 17th, in the flat ground that lays behind the heights that are before Eu• patoria. - As far as one could guess, and according to the infor mation furnished by prisoners, the enemy mustered thirty-six battalions of infantry, eix regiments of ca valry, four hundred Cossacks, eighty pieces of artillery in position, and some troops of horse artillery, which were in reserve. The attack commenced at daylight by a strong can nonade, during which the enemy used even thirty-two pounders. At first the Russians showed themselves in great force along our whole position, but seeing that our left was protected by men•of--war, which went there when the first shot was fired, they concentrated against our centre and right. I then requested the senior officer of the English Royal Navy to send the gun-boat Viper to the right, and to take up a position near the French steamer Veloce and the Turkish steamer Scbeh faer, on board of which was the Vice-Admiral, Ahmed Pacha. At the same time I reinforced the right with some battalions of infantry and some pieces of artillery, which I withdrew from the left. The enemy continued his fire, without ceasing, from the position held by his artillery, supported by a power ful fire of skirmishers, and then his infantry, carrying planks and ladders, three times tried to storm the works. Each time it was repulsed, and obliged to retire under our fire, but it was enabled to effect this retrogade move ment under cover of its artillery, and of heavy masses of cavalry. Our cavalry, which at the present moment only mus ters about 200 or 300 horses, and which charged the Russian infantry at the commencement of its retreat, did not dare to pursue it in the face of such heavy masses. This superiority in artillery and cavalry prevented our disturbing the Russians on their retreat. After four hours and a half fighting, they commenced retiring in three different directions, towards the bridge of Lake Sasik, towards Top Mamai, and towards the Perekop road. I have every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of my troops during the day. Although behind works only half finished, and not fully armed, they showed a bold front and were very steady. Our losses are not very numerous, but they are to be deplored. We regret the death of Selim Pasha, Lieut.- General, commanding the Egyptian troops. We had, moreover, 87 killed, and 277 wounded ; 79 horses killed and 18 wounded. Amongst the killed there are 7 officers, and 10 are wounded, amongst them Suleiman Pasha ; 13 inhabi tants of the town have been killed, and 11 wounded. I consider it my duty to make honourable mention of the French detachment that is here, and of the English men-of-war, Curacoa Furious, Valorous, Viper, of the Turkish steamer Schehfaer, arid of the energetic co-opera tion of the French steamer V6loce, who all contributed greatly towards frustrating the efforts of the enemy. The French detachment had 4 men killed and 9 wounded —amongst the latter is a naval officer. The Russians must have suffered a heavy loss. Ac cording to the report of the civil authorities of the town, who had to bury the dead, their number of killed amounts to 453 ; their artillery lost 300 horses. They carried away a great, many of their dead, and almost all their wounded. We have taken seven prisoners. --I have, &c., (Signed) OMER. Hie Daellancy the Lerd litaghto, &c. ARMY BEFORE .SEBASTOPOL COM- MITTEE. (Continued from our first edition of yesterday.) Mr. Layard was next examined. He stated that he had been to the Crimea, and saw the landing of the army. The infantry and a portion of the artillery and cavalry were landed in English boats. The horses and artillery were landed by means of French large flat-bot tomed boats. Our transports were, without any excep tion that he saw, vessels of large tonnage, and were far more numerous than the French. The French brought with them means of carrying the sick and other appliances, but their transports were extremely small.:,At Varna the French had constructed large flat bottomed boats, admirahly adapted for landing cavalry and artillery. We had but few, and had to make up the deficiency by paddle steamers. At Eupatoria he heard there were stores of flour, but that they were di• vided between the French and the English. The Kangaroo was there at the time, and was laden with sick under sailing orders for Constantinople, but in con sequence of the delay of the medical man coming on board, a number of the unfortunate fellows died. Ho saw the condition of almost every regiment on its land ing. The troops were without their tents the first night. The weather was rather rough, and the wind blew strongly. There was some sickness then amongst them, but not to any very great extent. The French army were transported by the navy, and that was the reason why ho presumed they were able to bring baggage animals and other means of land transport in their chartered transports. We brought no baggage animals, and only a portion of our troops were on board naval vessels. He was on board the Agamemnon when Balaklava was taken possessien of. The houses were taken by various individuals, and he saw the names of the occupiers rudely chalked up over the doors, such as "Lord Raglan," " Lord Lucan," and so on. At first there appeared to be no per son in charge of the town, or of the landing of troops or provisions, but afterwards a kind of town major was appointed. He thought Captain Keith was harbour master. There was a wharf erected for the landing of the siege artillery—but that was the only one. The harbour was in a very filthy condition. He left the Crimea on the 17th of November, after the battle of Inkerman ; the bad weather had not set in at that time. During the storm which arose, the hospital marquees were blown down, and the sick were exposed to the weather. A number of the tents were scattered to the winds, and the camp was very much damaged. He could not say the troops were in a very bad condition when he left. The sanitary condition of the camp was very un satisfactory, and dead horses were lying about in all directions. He thought the camp, altogether, was very badly managed in this respect, and the medical officers admitted that some person was required whose especial duty it was to look after the sanitary condition of the camp. He had frequent opportunities of inspect ing the French camp ; and Kamiesh Bay was well conducted. Wharves were erected and depots of stores and provisions were formed; and every house was turned to some useful purpose. He had often spoken to different authorities at Balaklava, as to the pro priety of forming similar depots there. He was not aware of the formalities required for the issue of provisions. He was on board the Har binger, and he found her in a very disgraceftil state. The harbour also was in a very confused and irregular state, vessels lying about in all directions. Before the storm he had often heard remarks from Admiral Lyons on board the Agamemnon that the anchorage in the harbour was very insecure. At the time he left there was no very great cause of complaint as to the condition of the men beyond perhaps the want of fuel and the supply of unraasted coffee. He heard com plaints about the inferiority of engineering tools sent out, and also that the fusees of the shells were very bad, and rendered the latter quite useless. His impreseien was that a large number of the tents were very bad in deed—in fact, they looked quite old and worn out. We had no carts brought over from Varna ; the French had. It struck me that a number of houses in Balaklava might have been advantageously made use of for depots of dif ferent kinds. Captain Christie had the entire direction of the transport service, and it rested with him, he pre Burned, whether a vessel was allowed to remain in the harbour or not. Between the time of his landing at Balaklava and the commencement of siege operations, &c., he had an opportunity of seeing how the troops were occupied in camp. They did not appear to be doing anything beyond simple military duty at one period of the time, for about a fortnight, and it struck him they might have been ad vantageously employed in making a good road be tween Balaklava and the camp—but, of course, he could rot say that they ought to have been so occupied. It often struck him as being very injudicious that large vessels, chartered at an enormous expense by the Go vernment, should be kept in harbour for weeks at a time merely as stores, when the cargoes might have been landed and placed in depots at Balaklava, and the ships been allowed to continue their sailing duty. He was given to understand in the camp that there was a divisional order against the men going beyond a cer tain distance to fetch brushwood or fuel for their fires. After sickness broke out there was great difficulty in obtaining medicines. He understood that by some mistake the medicines bad been accidentally left at Varna and had not been sent on to Scutari. He presumed the duty of superintending the landing of pro visions devolved upon Captain Christie and Commissary- General Filder. The committee adjourned at a quarter to four o'clock until to-morrow. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. have gone through it carefully, that he had any confidence in taking Sweaborg with a fleet alone. All he said was, if a , certain additional force, which he pointed out, were en- trusted to him, he was confident success would follow. I I think I have answered the statement of the right hon. gentleman. (Hoar, hear,) But, supposing Sir C. Napier had submitted a plan for taking Sweaborg, he was acting in alliance with the French, and it was necessary for him in the operations in the Baltio to have the concurrence of the French admiral. (Hear.) The council of war that was held unanimously decided that no operations in the Baltic could be undertaken with the resources they had, a`ter the taking of Bomarsund. I may state to the house that after the taking of Bomarsund, the French marshal, Baraguay d'Hilliers, being there, the French general of engineers, Niel, being there, and the French admiral being there, they took into their - consideration General Jones's report on some plan of military co-operation which he had submitted for the taking of Sweaborg. The French marshal, the French general of engineers, and the French admiral con demned that plan. It was, therefore, out of the questieu. It required the co-operation of the French soldiers. The French marshal condemned the plan, and would not allow his soldiers to be used for any such purpose, as he believed they would certainly be defeated, or at least that great loss would ensue. Well, after the French military force had gone, and when General Jones's plan was entirely out of the question, out came an order from the English Govern ment, ordering Sir C. Napier to call a council of war to take it into consideration. Why, the means of carrying it into effect were absent—the French army was gone ; and what seems so very strange is this—that the Government , in England should have been so ill-informed of the move ments of the French army, that after it had left the Baltic, and when General Jones's plan, therefore, was no longer practicable, they should have ordered Sir C. Napier to call a council of war to take into consideration that very plan. That council was not—it could not be—held. Another commit of war, subsequently ordered, wss held, at which the French and English admirals were present. They de cided that no operations with the fleet alone could be un dertaken against Sweaborg, and that, indeed, it would not be advisable at that season to engage in any operations at all against any fortified place on the Russian coast. Now what is remarkable is, that the two generals of engineers reported how Sweaborg was to be taken; but I want to ask the gallant naval officers in this house whether it is reasonable that these generals should be allowed to control the conduct of admirals—whether they are fit persons to judge how admirals shall place their ships or carry on naval operations? But what made this particular case still more difficult to poor Sir C. Napier was this—that the two generals were diametrically opposed to each other, and there was no person who so condemned the plan of Gen. Jona as Gen. Niel. It is also a remarkable feature about the case that Gen. Jones's plan, which may be called the military plan, was condemned by the French officers of the military service as well as by the French admiral ; while General Niel's plan, which was the plan for taking Sweaborg by ships alone, was condemned by the French admiral. So we have the sailor's plan condemned by the highest naval authority, the French admiral ; and the sol dier's plan condemned by the highest military authority, the French marshal ; while poor Sir C. Napier was cen sured by the Government because he did not, somehow or other, go in and take Sweaborg. (Laughter.) I am con vinced that Sir C. Napier has not been fairly treated. (Hear.) If he hail permitted himself to be goaded into some desperate enterprise, such as the attacking of a strong for tress like Sweaborg with a fleet alone, we should have hail a greater disaster in the Baltic than, perhaps, any that has been even contemplated at Sebastopol. (dear.) I think chat Sir C. Napier has as well deserved the thanks of this house for his conduct in the Baltic as Admiral Dundas has for his conduct in the Black Sea. (Cheers.) Ido say that this gallant officer, finding everybody complimented, every body eulogised, and knowing that lie has done his duty to his country to the best of his ability, has a right to com plain that something like a reflection has been cast, not only upon him, but also upon the officers who served under him. Ido hope that he may still receive that justice to which he is fairly entitled. I trust that we may have this correspondence in full, and it is my firm persuasion, unable as I now am to go through these paints, that if they be placed fairly before the public, and in the hands of hon. members, an opinion will be funned that Sir C. Napier has done his duty, but that the Government, disappsinte I in the success of the Baltic expedition, have endeavoured to make it appear that it was the fault of their admiral. Admiral BERKELEY said he coull not regard the posi tion in which he stood with anything like a comfortable feeling. (A laugh ) Hon. gentlemen might laugh, but if they wenhl wait a moment he would tell them why. Ho had long enjoyed the friendship of Sir C. Napier, which had been , cemented by their services together. He had constantly( been under the command of Sir Charles Napier, had formed the highest opinion of his talents and of hi energy, and had always esteemed him as a friend. (Hear, hear.) He considered, therefore, that he was place l in a painful position, w h en hi s duty, as one of the lords of the Admiralty, compelled him to stand up and find fault with and condemn the friend whom he would so willingly have supported. (Hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman who spoke last had been arguing upon private documents and public documents, and he (Admiral Berkeley) might also have provided himself with such documents if he had conceived it passible that private letters would have been brought forward without the con sent of their writers. (Hear.) Besides that, he had looked upon the motion more in the light of an attack upon the late First Lord of the Admiralty than on the board generally. As the friend of Sir C. Napier he had been consulted by the late First Lord of the Admiralty, not only with re spect to the public letters but to the private letters ad dressed to, Sir C. Napier, and he had told that gallant officer over and over again that if any fault should be found with kiss% the house or out of it for not attacking Swea borg or dronstadt he would stand up as his defender. Could it . be possible, then, that having a kn ow l e d ge o f b o th the publui and private letters addressed to Sir C. Napier, he should.; be likely to consent to anything like a censure on his gallant friend's conduct? (Hear.) He denied that the Board of Admiralty ever censured the conduct or manage ment of the fleet before Cronstadt or Sweaborg. (Hear.) The case lay almost in a nutshell. It wan this. Sir Charles Napier, who could use his pen an well as his sword, found that there existed a strong feeling in the country because nothing had been attempted against the two fortresses he had named, and he then suddenly changed the tone of his correspondence with the Admiralty, and endeavoured to throw upon them that responsibility which ho ought to have horde himself. (Hear, and oh, oh.) He was sorry to say that he had received the memorial which bad been placed in the hands of many other hon. members, which contained a very unjust attack on two individuals, and he must say he little expected such an attack from an indivi dual who must have known what their conduct had been. Sir C. Napier said in that paper, " Your petitioner has been informed that there were two candidates for the command who had seats at the Admiralty. One was refused the com mand, the other was not. Surely they cannot be impartial judges of the conduct of your petitioner." Whenhe (Admiral Berkeley) was a candidate for the office along with Sir C. Napier himself, Sir J. Graham knowing his (Admiral Berke ley's) ankiety to go to the Baltic, put this straightforward question , to him, " Do you think Sir Charles Napier is a proper lien to go to the Baltic !" Did he (Admiral Berke ley) say that he was a fitter person himself ? No ;he told Sir James Graham that if Sir Charles Napier went he should be too happy to go second under him. (Cheers.) The other admiral to whom Sir Charles Napier referred (Admiral Dundas) had been appointed to the command. When he (Admiral Berkeley) applied for that command, Sir James Graham told him that he could not go, as his services were required at the Admiralty, and Admiral Dundas, who never applied at all was chosen by his right hon friend, at his (Admiral Berkeley's) request. (Cheers.) There was no pleasing some parties. If individuals thought fit to find fault with a general or an admiral, the board or thelGoverument were immediately condemned for not re calling such person, without giving them an opportunity of defending themselves ; and now, forsooth, because the Ad miralty did not think fit to employ Sir Charles Napier again they were to be held up to public scorn. (Hear, hear.) Still professing the friendship which he had for merly entertained for Sir Charles Napier, but which had been violated, he must say that—whether the paper was granted or not—whether the case should bo gone into here after or not—the worst thing that Sir Charles Napier could do for his character, as an officer fit to command a fleet was to stir up this question, for the more he did so the worse it would be for him. (Cheers.) Mr. WHITESIDE said if the house acted on the doctrine laid down by the right hon. baronet (Sir James Graham), ithere was no act of injustice, oppression, or iniquity that I could not be perpetrated upon any officer in her Majesty's service. It was said that the papers ought not to have been referred to. But what was Sir C. Napier to di) . ? Ho felt that he had been insulted and aggrieved, and submitted his case to the house. And why? He had asked the Ad miralty for an inquiry, but it was refused ; he then applied for a court-martial, but it was denied him • he then ap plied to the Prime Minister, who had been slumbering on his seat during half the debate—(laughter)—but the noble lord, saying something complimentary, refused to afford him any redress. What was the complaint of Sir Charles Napier? The gallant admiral was selected by the Ad miralty to command a most magnificent fleet on a great occasion. Up to August he was covered with praises by the Admiralty, and the same system of panegyric was con tinued until the 25th of September, when he sent an ela borate document, which had not been read, pointing out two modes of discharging his duty. Now, how did it happen that the board then turned round and found it im possible to express any satisfaction with Sir C. Napier for the decision to which he came on a matter which properly belonged to him to determine. What was the conduct of the gallant admiral? He respectfully submitted to the Admiralty that the judgment which he had originally formed was right, and that their construction of it was misunderstood, er perverted. On the 10th Oct. he asked them to withdraw certain insulting observations which had been addressed to him, but they refused to do so. And it now seemed that he was not to get redress anywhere. The right hon. gentleman (Sir J. Graham) was not so very particular about the production of documents on a former occasion, when the conduct ,of • one of his political opponents was called in question. (Hear, hear.) The pipers now moved for were not private papers, nor could they in any way affect the public service, for they were dated from the 20th Dec. And what was the objec tion to their production ? The right hon. gentleman (Sir C. Wood) said-their production by the Government would be injurious to the public interest— Sir C. WOOD said the papers disclosed a plan of attack on Sweaborg, and their production might be detrimental to the public service. Mr.WHITESIDE said the terms of the motion excluded all papers containing plans of operations. (Hear, hear.) The papers asked for were essential to the understanding of the case of Sir C. Napier. If the Government expected men to win victories and gain triumphs they insist treat their officers properly; and they could hardly suppose that prlirodn.eCti°onWolf COWPER R e men of a high and gallant spirit would enter the service if, when they were injured, they were to be denied the smallest — beca:s n e d modicum of justice. (Hear, hear.) s l a e i t d te t r h s e w re ri w tt a e s n t a h f e te s r am u lo 2 b o j t e i c l t o io f n p t e o ee t m he . in ate production ber a s to the t v i t e o r i n d ate s be le fo tt r e e rs th w a e t re r. latterle o tt f er t s h t o li se e N r v a ri re cited, able to lay befoeri:itTiere reproduced which it was not desir able hon. and learned i wor d.

Now with respect to the alleged diem is pre ai of Sir C. Napier. It was quite clear that the order which had been given was not a dismissal, but the termination of his command of a fleet which, as a fleet, had ceased to exist. (Hear.) The curt terms in which the communication was conveyed were exactly according to precedent ' . and when Sir Graham Moore returned from the Panic in 1 814. precisely the same words were addressed to him.
