He speedily got out of his depth, and floundered heavily in the sea of casuistry in which he em barked. He has totally mistaken his province. Though unsurpassed when propounding and sup porting the truth, he has many superiors in the art of " making the worse appear the better rea son," of "playing on words," and disappointing the general expectation. In such respects he can bear no comparision with his new Allies—the Peelites ; he is not merely inferior to the great artist Mr. GLADSTONE, but to almost any of those trained in his school. fortifications of Sebastopol ; not a word of any thing that Russia cared about, except the limita tion of her navy. That was confessed to be most easily evaded ; all the rest consisted entirely in drafts on Russian honour, frankness, and since rity ! The Conference at Vienna has convinced us that secret diplomacy can never more be trusted, that Plenipotentiaries need instructions from the House of Commons, and that no treaty ought to be ratified without consent of Parlia ment.

New light was thrown on the causes of our earlier failures during the War. It was owing to the divisions in the Cabinet— to the determination .of those entrusted with the control of several departments more immediately connected with the management of hostilities. We have heard the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the First Lord of the Admiralty, and, we suppose, the Secretary at War, will still be forth coming. But all the poison they have instilled, or may instil, will be neutralised by a powerful antidote in the shape of an earnest exp.rfission of opinion by independent members, which will not, and cannot be mistaken by other nations—by faithful friends—by avowed enemies—ca by con temptible neutrals ! Entirely as our views are opposed to those of Mr. M. GIBSON on the great question of the re sumed debate, we must confess our :ag:reement with him on one constitutional and practical point of the highest importance. Mr. GIBSON maintained, citing names as authorities, of quite equal weight at least to those of our pre sent Mi nisters, or all who differed from him, tt,e consti tutional power of the House of Commons to advise the Crown. The authority of Fox and S EIERIDAN cannot well be sneered at by a pure - Whig Cabi net. They must pardon all whose opinions are more swayed by names than by arguments for thinking these mighty dead :as likely to be right as their living representatives. Lord PALMERSTON will surely not be remorabered so long as " SHERRY," nor Lord JOHN RUSSELL as pire to equality with Fox. Let, however, the question be settled by rea son, especially as enlightened by recent facts. Mr. BAXTER, the new man of the peop'te from the far north, and Sir E. L. BULWER, the ix ttellectual and elegant Conservative of the south, both ob jected to the House of Commons prescri bind any line of policy for her MAJESTY'S Government. The arguments appear to resolve thetris elves into two. One is that, by so doing, the House would entrench on the prerogatives of the, Crown ; the other, that by detracting from the responsibility of Ministers, it would re lax their diligence and caution in the discharge: of their duty. The debate has been again adjourned, and very properly so. It is right that Honourable Gentle men should have the opportunity of explaining the reasons by which they are actuated in giving the votes by which their future reputations will be materially affected—it is right that the several constituencies should become thoroughly acquainted with the views and feelings of their respective representatives, to ascertain how far they are in accordance with each other, and to determine on the propriety of a renewal of the important trusts now confided to their charge—it is right that foreign nations should understand how fully and completely the public opinion of England i 4 in favour of a vigorous and energetic management of the War, and against any dishonourehle or premature peace. The opportunity thus afforded has already induced Ministers to rseune a very different tone. They see that the slig.test appearance of vacillation or of dissension in the Cabinet would be the signal for their immediate downfall. They recognise the necessity, and submit with a tolerably good grace to their new characters of "Eurdieh, and not German, Ministers." Since the auspicious day on which the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Bucks heeded in his notice there has been a complete change in the Ministerial tone, and :their doings have been in accordance with the new light that thou rapidly broke in on them. The War has been vigorously pushed on. Important successes have been achieved, and, better still, the Conferences of Vienna have been finally closed. That incubus is no longer permitted to paralyse the national energies, or to afford hope to Russia. Prince GORTSCHAKOIT'S new " dilatory plea" for time to obtain instructions from St. Petersburg was peremptorily rejected, and the ne gotiations having been thin broken off there is no shadow of a pretext for asserting that the Western Powers are still bound by "the Four Points," and not entitled, if they can do so, to curtail the ter ritory and diminish the power of Russia elsewhere than in the Black Sea ! Austria must ; therefore, declare herself. Her condition cannot be one of " expectancy." The closing of the Conference has brought matters to a crisis. She must either take an active part in the War or be contented to sink into a position scarcely more respectable than that to wuich Prussia has been consigned, and from which she will find it difficult, if not impos sible, ever to extricate herself. In addition to these very important results, we find the Government now desirous, or at least professing to be desirous, of assuming the initiative, and taking the opinion of the House and country on the entire negotiations. This " dodge," however, will not now answer. It is " too late." Like the German Powers they have been lagging behind the progress of events, and find that they have waited too long ; that the course which would once have been hailed with rapturous enthusiasm, and entitled them to the „thanks and gratitude of the people, is now re ceived with contempt, because they did not lead, or even proceed pan passu, with the public opinion, but waited until no alternative remained but vigorous and energetic proceedings, or a speedy and disgraceful expulsion from office. The Hon. Gentleman the member for the West Riding has completely sacrificed the scanty rem nant of the high character he once possessed. His name once stood high in the opinions of the people. The most implicit faith was reposed in the patriotism and integrity of his motives. Now the "gilding" has been stripped from the quondam idol, and the " baseness of the metal" of which it is formed is now clearly revealed. The copp er peeps out on every si de . It is not silve r , nor even " British metal ," but the most 'worthl ess mixture. On this point there can be no mistake. The reputation acquired in fighting the battle of the People against the powerful oligarchy has been forfeited by becoming the champion of des potism, the advocate of injustice,' the supporter of de, raelation of his country. While Mr. ' 4. e 4 • N s i,tricted himself to fiscal subjects, while &;" e toov e rthrow the monster griev ,t, mace - the great body of the people, " W ate:: a great man. His simple, un - -addiii ' • ',I/C(1 went to the very hearts of the veople, "Many We re la; 41 71 Prepared to follow in any In regard to the first, it is, if hoe) estly exa mined, a fiction and nothing better. The prero gative of the Croen is to act as advised by its Ministers. Those Ministers are res-p )nsible to the House of C)rnmons for the advice they give her MAJESTY. Now, as a person nalal ;t be the servant chiefly and principally of thalo who can call him to account, and who can even oempel his dismissal, or if he be dismissed in oponsition to their will can compel his reinsta E meat, it seems clear that iu a constitutional sense our Ministers are servants of the, House as well as of the Crown. If it The techni cally true that to make war and Tea.ce are prerogatives cf the Crown, it is yet true, that the Crown must be advised to one or the dether, by those whom the House tacitly or avowedly confides in. Such being the relation between these estates of the realm, why should it be thouglet invading the prerogative of the Crown for the. Rouse to declare the advice which it requires fhose whom it holds responsible to offer to her MAJESTY ? They can resign if opposed to the aclv ice, and her MAJESTY can dissolve Parliament if she does not relish it, or thinks the nation differs from the House of Commons. The .Crown is now, in truth, but the head of an Executive for carrying out government by the nation. The Crown only reigns, the nation governs ; and it seems , mere red-tapery, and routine, and system run to seed, to deny to the House of the governing people, the right, on important occasions at least, to advise the Crown directly, and thus to pre clude the possibility of the QUEEN'S responsible advisers injuring, it may be irremediably, those to whom they are responsible. If Ministers or the QUEEN do not like the advice, they have, as we have already observed, their constitutional re medy. No occupation, for instance, would bo so superlatively delightful to Lord JOHN RUSSELL as to return an answer, contained in a single line, to an unwelcome address to the Throne, and to an nounce immediately after that her MAJESTY awaited the attendance of Honourable Members in another place to be forthwith sent back to the places whence they came. The other objection, of diminishing too much the sense of responsibility under which Ministers act, is a question purely of fact. We of the Press have just experienced that Ministers held themselves responsible for giving effect, not to au address to the Crown, but to a mere resolution of the House. They pleaded their responsibility for doing it; they showed themselves, however, in no way hampered by it. They appeared to think the task of carrying out their directions quite responsibility enough. In the same way it would be surely a task sufficient for any set of men to carry out in details the general duty pre scribed to them by the House. Into what are properly details no popular assembly would ever venture. We have, indeed, a modern ex ample to our hand in the Senate of America, which more nearly answers to our House of Com mons than the House of Representatives does. No treaty can be ratified without its approbation, and it does not hesitate to indicate its views of foreign and general policy, yet it never foolishly descends to the subordinate matters which pro perly belong to the Executive ; nor have des potic States been backward to maintain diploma tic relations with the free-speaking Republic. We must think, however, that the late crisis goes far to settle the whole question. The Houses , of Parliament (Earl GREY, with the Manchester and GLADSTONE school, excepted) seem now to participate in the amazement and thank fulness with which we look back to our escape from the infamous Vienna Confer ences and the Four Points. Russia, not our Ministry, has saved us from a humiliation we re volt from contemplating, and from an armed peace whose cost and dangers we shudder to think of. All our waste of blood and treasure were to have been really thrown away ; not one word was spoken of pecuniary indemnity, a thing Russia herself fever forgot to exact from .Turkey or from Austria in her unrighteous wars ; not a word of the brave Circassians, or oven of the unfortunate Al a n d d r e a r g s g , e some of wh om R ussia, this very winter, has across the Baltic ice to Siberia !

The Russians have evacuated Soudjak Kaleh, and themselves destroyed 60 guns and six mor tars. The Circassians occupy the place. A telegraphic despatch from Rustchuk, dated the 4th of June, announces that the telegraphic communication between Varna and Balaklava has been interrupted. It is feared that some days will be required to establish it. The Moititeur announces the official closing of the Vienna Conferences. VIENNA, TUESDAY EVENING. A despatch, dated Galatz, June 1, says : There was a great fire last night in the Artil lery and Cavalry stables, close to the ammunition depot. The Austrian garrison succeeded in ex tinguishing the fire, but 103 horses were burnt. The cholera is said to have appeared in the Austrian army in Gallicia. Letters received from the East mention the probability of an attack on Anapa, by the Allied armies, supported by Mustapha Pacha's corps and the Circassians. It is probable that some notice of such an intention has prompted the new move ment reported. FRAN CE. PARTS, TUESDA.Y. We have received the following private tele graphic despatches : "BERLIN, 4th, Evening.—Accounts from St. Peters burg of the 31st ult. inform us that the Czar by an Im perial ukase, has called on the Cossacks of Tschernigow, Pultava, and Lesser Russia to form part of the army about to be immediately organised for the defence of the Russian empire." " MADRID, 4th.—The Gazette publishes the decree re lative to the suspension of the Constitutional guaran tees. The regulation of the national militia is in a con servative sense. Catalonia is declared in a state of siege. The insurcfent4 have disappeared from Aragon." The ilfoniteur announces that the King of Por tugal finds it impossible to grant the numerous audiences which he is daily requested to accord. The Psyche frigate left Toulon yesterday for Con stantinople with troops and stores on board. A letter from Bucharest of the 31st explains the cause of the late seizure of vessels on the Danube by the Russians, which we mentioned a few days ago. The vessels, it appears, were Greek, but papers were found on board which proved that the cargoes were intended for London. General Luders has not as yet given any decision in the matter.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of 27th ult., in the Constitutionnel, says : " Accounts horn Sirnpheropol and Katasabasar state that the families of the Russian employ6s and soldiers are abandoning Tanrida, under the pretence of the dear ness of provisions, but in reality from a fear that the whole of the Crimea will be conquered. For some time past orders have been given not to send any more troops into the Crimea, in order not to cause too lunch difficulty in procuring supplies for them. and also in order not to sacrifice their all, the picked troops of the Russian armies. The Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael are not to return to the Crimea." THE BALTIC. A letter from Faroe Sound, in the Baltic, re ceived last evening, states :—" May 30.—The Belleisle hospital-ship has arrived and taken charge of the sick establishment on shore ; she came in here on Friday. The Pylades came in on Sunday List, from Kiel, with three gun-boats ; sho proceeds on, as soon as ready, to join the fleet off Seskar. The Firefly, Captain Otter, has just arrived with the mail for Dautzic ; the Princess Alice takes it on. The French squadron of Rear-Admiral Pe uaud (four screw line-of-battle ships and one cor vette) passed in sight of this on Sunday, and com municated without coming to an anchor. Colliers are arriving daily ; two or three transports with provisions and stores are also here." HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO PARIS. A letter from Boulogne says :—" In anticipation of the intended visit of the Queen of England and his Royal Highness Prince Albert to the Paris Exhibition, the preparations for the reception of those illustrious per sonages, who are to land here, may be said to have already commenced. Her Majesty and the Prince Con sort, who are to be attended by a brilliant retinue, are to occupy an extensive suite of apartments at the Hotel Brighton, at which establishment it will be recollected Prince Albert stayed during his visit to Boulogne last year, as also the King of the Bel gians, and the King of Portugal. The principal sa loons of the Hotel destined for the especial accom modation of her Majesty are at present in process cf re decoration. It is said the Queen will sojourn at Bou logne one or two days, and that there will be a grand review of the French troops. The Emperor will come from Paris to receive her Majesty on landing and wel come the Queen to France. There will he very gay doings, and must of the houses adjacent t o th e h ote l are already let to families of distinction. The English people may rest assured that the reception of their Sove reign and her illustrious husband will be in every respect worthy of their exalted station. The precise day for the arrival of the Queen is not yet definitively fixed, but it is generally supposed that the visit will take place towards the close of the present month." A Paris correspondent of the lndependance Beige states that the views of Baron de Marderstroem ' who has just been named Swedish Minister at Vienna, are favourable to the policy of the Western Powers. BARON VON BRUNNOW. — A daughter of Baron von Brunnow, the late Russian Minister in London, is en gaged to be married to Herr Anton von Magnus, Prus sian Secretary of Legation at Stuttgard, and son of the banker of that name here. The Queen and Prince Albert visited Gore House, Kensington, at ten o'clock yesterday morning, to in spect the works of students infthe metropolitan and pro vincial schools in connection with the department of Science and Art, Marlborough House, these works, to the number of more than 600, having been sent in com petition for prizes, and to exhibit the progress made during the past year. Her Majesty expressed her satis faction at the works, and desired to have some of the exhibited designs manufactured for her. A private view takes place to-day, and to-morrow the collection will be open to the public. Miss Arabella Goddard, who has been giving concerts at Trieste with great success, has left for Venice. MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL LNTELLIGEATCE. CITY, Two o'CLocii. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed with a very animated feeling, at the full advance of id. per lb. for all descriptions of cotton. The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales (10,000 of which were ' taken on speculation and for export). The Railway Share Market was rather lower. In a statement of the aggregate importations into the United Kingdom of sugar, the quantity for 1854 is given at 3,1319,306 cwts., against 2,298,878 cwts. in 1853. The distinction between colonial and foreign samples is no longer observed in the entries since last July, when the duties were equalised. The rates of duty upon sugar have been sub jected to constant changes for years past. Never, in fact, does any article appear to have been nire interfered with. In the year 1800, British West India, brown or Muscovado, was charged 11. per cwt. ; in 1813, 1/. 103. ; in 1845, only 14s. ; in 1848, 15s. 2d. ; in 1851, 11s. Bd., and in 1853, 13s. 5d., and since July, 1854, 17s. 4d. and 16s. have been the rates on all deScriptions of whatever growth. Since the year 1800, Foreign has been charged as high as 3/. 3s. In the year 1800 the total consumption in the United King dom of all sugar was 2,156,106 cwts. ; in 1853 it had risen to 7,272,833 cwts. ; and in 1854 was over 8,000,000 cwts. The net revenue, therefore,which was but 2,162,1411. in the year 1800 was last year over 4,700,000/. The Evening Star, from Melbourne, brings about 16,0001. in gold. The yacht Mystery had arrived out in rather less than 4 months. The English Stock Market has been feeble, and prices are scarcely so high. At the commencement of business Consols were quoted 91k, 4, and they have since been 91a, The decline yesterday afternoon in the rates for bills of exchange upon the principal continental cities has been one of the causes assigned for the existing heaviness, especially as a small amount of gold was taken for exportation. The bulk of the last receipts of gold, however, has been delivered at the Bank of England. Paucity of business, now the public buying for investment is over, and the fact the Bulls have large amounts out, causes the present lull. Bank Stock is firm at 210. Exchequer Bills have been 20s. to 235. pm., and India Bonds 225. pm. East India Stock is at 235 to 238. Nothing has been done in the Om nium. Foreign Securities have been dull, and even Turkish have receded, being 84 to 821. Mexican bring 22, and Peruvian 3 per Cents'. 481. Bra zilian Old Bonds have been marked par. Spanish Threes are 382, and the Deferred 181 to 2. Dutch 2. 1 .2 per Cents. realised 64± to 64. The following aro the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6.1 to 71; Mexi can, 21'4 to 222 ; Peruvian, 68 to 70; ditto Three per Cents., 48 to 50 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 99 to 101 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 89 to 91 ; Spanish New Deferred, 182 to 184 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 38 to 381 ; Ditto Certificates, 4 to 41- ; Ditto Passive, 3:1 to 41.

With less business doing sales of shares are rather pressed, and prices consequently are lower. The decline is not material, but it corresponds to that which has occurred in the English funds. The Caledonian, Great Western, and Midland have all been lower. Foreign Shares in some cases very active. Antwerp and Rotterdam are A- to lower. Great Western of Canada have advanced 103. to Isis. The Belgian lines are not quite so good. In the Mining Market the transactions hare been in the Brazilian at rather lower rates, and in United Mexican at a slight decline. The Joint Stock Bank shares are quiet at barely the previous rates. Crystal Palace shares are about the same. 8:11:TISH -- 2 1 J1%;TDS tars DAY.—CLOSING P.RICES th 01/76;r7 ILi ) BUStrIZFR a Ink stock 3 par Cent. Reduced Annuitin.. 3 per Cent.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Morning Herald. ) • ENGIaII CAMP, HEIGHTS OF SEBASTOPOL, MAY 23. The intense interest and anxiety with which we were al waiting news of the Kertch expedition has been considerably diverted by a desperate attempt which our Allies made last night to capture one of the enemy's advanced trenches, and which, after gaining possession of, they were, after a long and most bloody encounter, compelled to evacuate. Since the efforts of the French against the Flagstaff Battery have lately become so marked the Russians have exerted themselves to the very utmost, either to prevent its capture or to render it useless to us when taken. For this purpose they have toiled night after night, erecting new works in the rear of it, and throwing up fresh advanced trenches, so as to hinder and almost arrest the approaches of our Allies. A few nights since the French sprang two or three small mines, not only for the purpose of injuring the Flagstaff, but to aid in the formation of a new parallel, which was intended to take part of the battery in flank. The mina were perfectly successful, and on the night following this explosion the French proceeded to construct this flank work. To the pro gress of the latter, however, the enemy offered the most de termined resistance. But while the French were thus compelled to desist, the enemy Were doubly busy. During the whole of this time the enemy's " fatigues" never slackened for an instant, and by the morning of yesterday, the 22d, they had entirely completed a new advanced trench, which, at a distance of only 20 yards, crossed at right angles the intended new French parallel, the further progress of which was by this manoeuvre completely hindered. The formation of this trench was instantly re ported to General Pelissier, who came and inspected it, and discovered that not only had the cross trench itself been com pleted, but that two flanking covering trenches, placed so as to completely enfilade the most advanced one, had likewise been thrown up, though apparently they seemed incomplete, and barely fit for service. The result of the reconnaissance of the whole po-ition was, that it was considered of such im poilance that not a moment was to be lost in capturing it at any cost. Yesterday evening, at 9 o'clock, was fixed on for the attempt ; 500 Chasseurs, 230 of the Imperial Guard, with about 1,200 Zouaves, were told off as the assaulting party, with a reserve of 2,500 men of the Guard and Zouaves. Everything was arrazged with the utmost secresy, only the night, which wag fine, clear, and calm, seemed slightly against the success of the attack—at least, as a surprise. The force quitted the French trenches in two strong columns, about 200 yards apart. The plan of the attack was to enter the trench at its two angles, so as not only to secure the advanced trench itself, but to enfilade and command the flanking ways which led to it. Unfortunately, the plan does not appear to have been well carried out. From ignorance of the ground, which was still further disfigured by the springing of the mines, one column went We much to the left, while that on the right mistook its way altogether, and did not come into action until some time after the left column had been deeply in want of its assistance. The at tacking party on the left proceeded some distance without seeing any indications of the advanced trench. A halt we.; called, and doubts were expressed as to having deviated from their proper attack. In the midst of the conversation which this led to, the Russians appear to have completed all their defensive preparations, and now from the trench on the left fired a tremendous volley into the French. At "this attack, the doubts of the latter were instantly solved ; and, mis taking the flanking trench on the left for the advanced trench, they commenced their attack on it, striving to close with the bayonet ; but the natural difficulties of the . ground with which our allies had to contend were almost insur mountable. Broken masses of stones, pits, mounds, gabions, and fascines cumbered the earth in all directions. Amidst these obstructions the French Guards and Zouaves got involved for a considerable time, exposed to a murderous fire from the enemy, which they were almost entirely unable to return. Our allies fell in all directions, yet still gallantly pressing on they reached the breastwork. At this point a series of most desperate encounters took place. Four or five times the French crossed the breastwork and got a strong footing in the trench, but the heavy file fire which, from under cover of the different beastworks, the Russians were able to keep up, prevented their retaining their conquest. To add still farther to their disadvantages, the Russian bat teries had now got their precise range, and threw regular volleys of grape and shell into their ranks. Nevertheless the assailants did not abandon the attack, but de3patching mes sengers for reinforcements, continued their onset with deter mined courage. Suddenly, in the midst of the melee, the column which had departed to the right, attracted by the firing, now returned, and joining with the reserve column of upwards of 2,0)0 men, which bad advanced to support the attack, poured in upon the advanced trench. Had this onset been made with the left column, an hour or so sooner, there is no doubt it would have been completely success ful, but as it was, the continued fighting had thoroughly alarmed the enemy, and strong columns of their troops lined every part of the work. Nevertheless, the attack was so im petuous that the French succeeded, after a close and bloody contest, in getting a footing in several parts of the trench, and then commenced a fight for its psssession such as has not, for ferocity and bloodshed, been equalled during the siege. By mere dint of bayonetting and stabbing, the French ma naged to clear the advanced trench of the enemy and effect a junction with the left column, which had maintained a footing , in one of the covering trenches. From the latter point, how ever, they were compelled to retire. The two covering trenches remained in the hands of the enemy, but the ad vanced cross trench the French held completely. The hand to-band struggle then ceased. The French strove to throw up a breastwork, so as to cover them from the fire of •the enemy. In this they were unsuccessful. From every point of the Russian batteries, commanding the trench, a fire of artillery was poured upon them with such density and effect that whole companies were swept away before it. Still they held their ground, though under the fire Of the batteries they fell by scores. Strong parties of the enemy .occupied the covering trenches, and from their position were enabled to enfilade the advanced trench with a murderous fire of infantry. It was a mere slaughter of the French. Twice driven to desperation by the crops fire from the trenches, they sallied out and attempted to carry them at the point of the bayonet, .131 ft these mere ebullitions of valour were of no avail against the strong works and well-organised resistance of the enemy. In both cases the French were driven back with loss, and retired to the cross trench, where they still continued to melt away under the devastating fire of artillery and musketry. It was close on dawn when a message was sent to the French general, informing him that nearly half the column had fallen in the attempt to hold the place ; that it was a mere useleSs waste of life, as by daylight it would be utterly untenable. The answer was returned, that they were to gather their dead and wounded, and retire. This theyaccordingly did at about four in the morning, after having maintained the sanguinary and unequal contest for more than six hours, and lost, it is said, the awful number of 1,390 men, killed, wounded, and •missing. The Russian loss must also have been most severe, but from the fact of their men fighting entirely under cover, it is not supposed to be as heavy as that of the French. The latter failed, not from want of courage or discipline, as one half of the valour and constancy they displayed would have been sufficient to have captured any of the, Russian batteries, but simply from their mistaking the route and attacking the trench at a wrong point, where the work, if carried, was un tenable. The affair has cast rather a gloom over the French. No less than 31 of their officers are said to be killed or wounded. It is said that if it costs 10,000 men, the place must be taken, and that another attempt will be made this evening. MAY 24. ' As was anticipated, the French made another attack upon the advanced trench last night, which was completely suc• cessful. _ This time the plan was better arranged—under the imme diate care of General Polissier himself, who informed the troops that if they failed then, they must attack.again at day break, and continue to attack until the trench was in their possession. Three columns—each 3,000 strong—were chosen for the assault, and started just as dusk was commencing —two slightly in advance, for the capture of the covering trenches on each side, and the centre column for the trench itself. 1u spite of all th 3 vigilance of the enemy, the right and left columns closed with the covering trenches before they were discovered and instantly attacked them; For a moment the Russians seemed bent on au obstinate resistance, but the attack at such an early hour of the evening (a little after eight) evidently took them by surprise., and after a short struggle both trenches were captured, the enemy flying in pAI directiOns. Numbers of them were shot and bayoneted ou the spot. Almost at the same time the centre column attacked the cross trench ; but here the enemy, being prepared and in greater force, a desperate contest took place, and it was not until after about 20 minutes' hard fighting that the French were enabled to get possession of it. As its defenders retired they were completely decimated by the cross fire to which they were exposed from the French in the covering trenches. Tho instant that possession was obtained half the troops were set to work to remove the gabions and breastwork from one side of the trench to the other,. so as to Shelter the assail ants from the fire of the batteries, while the remainder, formed into two strong columns, advanced to attack the Rus sian soldiers who bad been driven from the position, and who were halted at a short distance in the rear, evidently waiting for reinforcements to attempt a re-capture. Upon these the French rapidly advanced, and the Russians, though inferior in numbers, did not decline the contest. As our allies came on, the enemy deployed and received them with a smart file fire, to which the French never returned a shot until within pistol range, when they, too, deployed, and firing one heavy volley, obarged with the bayonet. The Russians fell into confusion, and, as I am informed, after shouting for a few minutes threw away their arms and fled, the great mass of them keeping to the right in the direction of the Ceme tery, which lies outside the town on the left of the Redan. The French, who were now thoroughly Jioused, and " bent upon revenge, followed them closely, and bayonetted the fugitives by dozens. No quarter was asked or given.. In this manner our allies pursued them for nearly half-a-mile, till bath Russians and French arrived at a deep trench and breastwork on the left of• the Redan, beneath the Garden Battery. Into this the flying enemy scrambled, and the French after them. A strong force of Russians seemed to hold this trench, but they appeared perfectly panic-stricken by the flight of their comrades, and, after discharging their muskets in an irfegular fusillade, fled with the rest, leaving the French in undisturbed possession of the second trench. At this point the commander of the French 'Columns wisely called a halt. They had already penetrated into the enemy's lines further than any of the allies had been before, and to continue the advance with such a s ma ll f orce, and without sup port; would have been mere madnes." As it was, they might have difficulty in effecting their' retreat. A hasty examina tion was made of the trench, and one of the soldiers, who hal advanced further than theirest up the parallel on the right, came running back and reported that there was a new battery , there. The whole force instantly advanced in the direc tion intimated, and truly enough• found that in a large obtuse angle of the breastwork a new battery bad been formed, tgicl was totally abandoned, It mounted some eight or ten heavy long guns, four mortars, and a number of cohorns. .Not a moment was lost in turning the discovery to account. Half the force was instantly formed out in co lumns, with out picquets to give notice of the approach of the enemy, who was now momentarily expected, and keep them, if possible, in check, till the destruction of the battery was completed. The rest of the troops, piling their arms, commenced the work of destruction. The long guns were instantly spiked, overturned, the trunnions o 4 the guns knocked off, and the spokes of the carriage wheels chopped to pieces. Some, which were ships' guns, had their small wooden wheels split up, and the carriages thrown over the breastwork. The timber tramways of the guns were levered up and carried away. The mortars were spiked, their beds overturned, and the trunnions of two knocked off. The co horns were captured and sent away immediately. But bad as this was, it was by no means all the raischief that was effected. Not more than 100 men were employed about the guns—the rest (upwards of 2,000) were engaged in destroy ing the earthwork. All the gabions were dragged out, pulled to pieces, and their earth and stones scattered about. The sand-bags were pulled down and cut in two, and altoge ther the whole parapet of the battery was levelled with the earth. While this was going on, all the Russian batteries had opened, and were in full play, though principally upon the advanced trenches, which had been captured early in the evening. , In their demolition, of the battery the French were hardly disturbed by a single shot. Large masses of Russian infantry were, however, collecting near the Redan and Garden works, evidently for the a, laced, nd jug the French, Their skirmishers constantly exchanged shots with the French Guards, but while a svare pt,:rpose of atta a _ of their strength, the enemy seemed by no means des2rous for a closer contest. The French, who had now accomPlisZledi they wanted, and far more than they expected to accorn).lr when they started, took advantage of the indecision of an LI enemy to retreat, and this they di d with such rapidity ; haa skill as to reach the captured trenc h from which they sallied forth without the lose of a man. The Russian fire upon the advanced trench was then terrific, 'and continued so forst more than an hour, but the French had sheltered thernselvet with their breastwork, so that it did bu t little damage, " eventually the enemy discontinued it altogether. No attempt was made to recapture the trenches, which still remain in the hands of our allies. In the whole affair last night about 400 French were killed• and w ounded ; total loss of the Russians is supposed to be fr om 1,000 to 1, killed killed and wounded, the greater part of whom were ! as no quarter was given. Nearly 200 Russian bod ies rem in the neighbourhood of the captured trenches. The French are deservedly proud of the capture and de es; s truction of the battery. It is decidedly one of the bra brilliant affairs of the siege. To-day is the ay of the birthday o f her mo st g ra ; cious Majesty, and nniversar all the troops draw double allow Pee porter in commemoration of the happy event. na' Frenc, To-morrow, it is said, a strong force of Sar dinia • ! n ow and Turks are to malrq a reconnaissance of the Ruas 4ll ,chts tion on the Tchernaya, and occupy permanently the lat'•%, from Kimara along the Woronzow-road, towards lek erra—.
