GREAT REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF "THE SUN," FROM FIVEPENCE-HALFPENNY FOURPENCE; FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers the public in all large cities and towns to which parcels are forwarded by the News-Agents, The Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half penny for the Latest Edition, containing Parliamentary Debates of the same even ing, together with the List of Army and Navy Promotions in the London Gazette, with Official Despatches from the Seat of War, the Latest Sporting, and all other Commercial News, List of Bankrupts, &c., &c., can now be had for Fourpence, being a saving of nearly one-third. Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions posted after six o'clock were charged a fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office, which made the price to the Subscriber Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must still be made to those in remote places, unless the Postmaster-General have the magnanimity to forego such a paltry source:of revenue. Sun-office, 112, Strand, Lon 1 on, 9th July, 18 55. Vi_ll " c`~~,, - - - LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1855. The Limited Liability Bill has at last got into Committee ! But not without opposition ! Every pretext for delay was adopted. Mr. MUNT; who was not always the advocate of restrictions on trade and commerce, wished to reject the bill altogether, being totally opposed to the principle, while Mr. GLYN would be contented to consign it to the timbo of a select committee, which now appears to be considered the approved method of shelving any obnoxious measure that cannot very consistently }, - e opposed. Many other representa tives of the " moneyocracy" consumed valuable time in arguing the dangerous consequences of allowing small capitalists to invest a portion of their surplus funds in any undertaking without becoming responsible to the full extent of their means, and even of their personal liberty for its success. It might be s upposed th at "Trade" was some exciting idol , to Which no limited homage could be offered, but to which the Nvor . shipper should bind himself soul and body, with out reservation or exception. It seemed to be considered, or at least it Was argued as if such was the case, that the permis sion to place small sums of money in the hands of a trader, on condition of receiving a certain portion of the profits, in place of a fixed rate of interest, would give occasion to the greatest frauds on bona fide creditors, and that it was IlecoaaaTh IRYNnicl all things, to prevent parties from participating in the gains of trade unless they devote their entire time and means thereto. The effect of the existing system is, unquestionably, to deter any such in vestments ; for no man will subject himself to the extraordinary risk, however great may be his respect for and confidence in the manager or managers of the undertaking. But what pos sible chance can there be of fraud, or injury to the creditors, by the absorption of a certain sum of money to meet the losses before any deduction is made from the dividends of the creditors. It is obvious that credit cannot be given on the security of persons who are not known to be in any way connected with the undertaking. The ostensible managing party is the one who alone is trusted ; and it is rare, indeed, to find a hidden victim, whose entire property can be seized on for the debts. The practical effect of the restriction is, that the man who would advance money under a limited liabi lity for a share of the profits, stipulates for an enormous rate of interest, which can seldom be met, and when a smash comes he proves against the estate, and receives his proportion of the as sets, in place of relinquishing every claim, and allowing the whole to be divided amongst the trade creditors, as under a sounder system it would be. The simple' fact is, that the obnoxious system is clung to by persons, some of whom have free trade on their lips, but whose hearts are brimful of monopoly whenever it can bo useful to themselves. The great object is to make money scarce and dear, and to prevent the less wealthy classes, who cannot afford to keep a banker, from obtaining the necessary advances for carrying on their business on anything like reasonable terms. The abolition of the usury laws—a matter just and reasonable per se, for why should there be any distinction between money and other commo dities?—enabled those parties to exact exorbitant rates, and to divert into their own pockets the lion's share of the profits. The unfortunate tradesman, who, perhaps, was too sanguine, and thought he could afford to pay these extravagant prices for monetary accommodation, finds his hopes disappointed, and himself eventually forced into the Gccette, the undue restrictions sanctioned by law being the chief cause of his difficulties. It was said that the modification, such as it is, would occasion wild speculation. We totally dissent from the assertion, and are convinced that the mania for foreign loans, railways, mines, &c., have been altogether occasioned by the prohibi tion to advancing money on a share of the profits. Men who have a few hundreds saved are not satis fied with the rate of interest offered by the Funds or the Savings Banks, and they do not like to be known as lenders of money at 20 or 30 per cent. They rush, then, eagerly at any speculation that offers a better prospect of legitimate gain, and are too often sufferers by their undue confidence. But if the channels for legitimate investments were enlarged—if men could join an active and industrious neighbour in whom they have confi dence—there would not be so much inducement to fling their spare cash into bubble companies ; and Messrs. STRUTT and Co. may rest assured that they would, before risking their hard earn ings, make every due inquiry into the character and position of the speculation. Lord PAL3IERSTON spoke fairly and above board. He took the most efficient means of cur tailing the eloquence of the talkers against time, by intimating that, even if the session was to con tinue until September, the bills should be carried. This is as it should be. It is the only possible, mode of making amends for the past delays, and we have little doubt but that it will prove effec tual. The measures themselves do not by any means go as far as we could wish, but we look on them as instalments of justice, and as the intro duction of the sharp end of the wedge which will, ere long, lead to still more important and valuable results. Sebastopol must be at present the grand centre of operations. Nothing has yet shaken the general conviction that the object of the expedition thither was a wise one, however diverse may be the opinions on the plan and conduct of the attempt last autumn. Indeed, with the exception of the Peelites . and Manchester members, the enormous resources of the beleaguered fortress have only strengthened the conviction that, cost what it may, Sebastopol, with the whole Crimea, must be transferred to other hands. The inquiry, however, is constantly arising—Can no collateral efforts be made ? If they can, their direct utility in making the War painfully felt by the enemy is obvious, and their indirect use, in compelling a division of forces and diverting reinforcements from the Crimea, is very plain also. Kertch, Yenikale, ct . c., have been such promising specimens of what might be done, and that too in early summer, that we feel unwilling such achievements should remain, like Bomarsund, a solitary success of the fleet, not followed by others to which it seems naturally to point the way. It should be remembered that of many impor tant and attractive moves all cannot be made at once, with a limited number of troops. We are too apt, supposing that we must have spare troops and ships at the Crimea, to dazzle our imaginations with all the exploits of which perhaps but one or two could be accomplished even by the greatest skill and zeal. Still, one can but belies e that had NAPOLEON I. been in com mand on shore, and had he at his disposal a fleet like ours, with a NELSON for his Admiral, the whole coast of the Black Sea westward of Sebas topol would have cut a very different figure from what it yet does ; from the mouth of the Danube round to Perekop not one stone would have been left on another to shelter a regiment marching to the relief of Sebastopol. The treachery of Austria would have been checkmated at Odessa, Nicolaieff, and Kherson. Our "great contemporary" what we rather lat e , has, we perceive, taken up, though lier in the summer, an d f or the e we re u as r o g n e_d eta:e forcing and opening the mouth of the Danube, in order to liberate for our markets the ' agricultural wealth of the Danubian provinces. We never could conceive why this obvious means of easing our Commissariat in the Crimea, and of aiding our markets at home, has been so long neglected, especially since cheap bread i 3 identical with a lighter pressure of taxation, and the project, therefore, might almost figure amongst the "W a y s and Means" of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as amongst military plans. Our contem porary enlightens us as to the cause. It is Austria again ! ! No mischief clone, no good hindered, but Austria is sure to have had her share in it. Why could we not fight in earnest at first ? Austria, is the answer. Why not have a Polish Legion ? Austria again. Why not march the Turks into the provinces and Bes sarabia after the retreat of the Russians ? Aus trian bullies were in the road. Why were we assaulted so murderously at Inkerman ? Austria lilxratkid roil f Vr7 I ~, i 'w re the G cn Austria had 1 orcealent3 from t lit: Ditllll:.),', r' , -.7 ralP, so SIOW to act in tLe ~i)riug got their masters in the Conference net at Vienna. And ... Ilawi why may not our gun- i 004t6 open a passag e between Moldavia, Walla, 1 lachia, and Bulgaria, and Mark Lane ? The answer—and her old and faithful coadjutor, the Times, ought to know—is again, Austria ! If there be any Government in Europe which Eng lishmen, and Frenchmen too, have cause to wish, as our friends of the Green Isle might say, at the bottom of the bottomless pit, that Government assuredly is Austria. According to the Times she will neither lot us fight nor eat. We quite agree with our contemporary. We warn Lord PALMERSTON, however (and also Lord PALMER STON'S unavowed master), that, if through unpro pitious harvest weather, or any other cause, bread should be dear next winter, he and his Austria will not be spared by an indignant nation. Then Odessa is in every one's mouth. Our army, or—even if we be entirely successful—a great part of it, must winter in the Crimea. How important to the security of their position that Odessa should be incapacitated for the transit and support of troops. This was fully proved last autumn. No false mercy must be shown this year ; mercy to Odessa will again be martyrdom to our brave soldiers. The same reasons apply to the other sea-coast or river towns between Odessa and Perekop ; whh the ad ditional reason in the case of Nicolaieff, that it is the southern Dockyard of Russia. Then, again, the vicinity of Sebastopol on the north seems to offer great military allurements. Near the Belbec, we believe it is possible to land troops under the support of our ships, and to enable them to fortify a camp whence they might threaten the north of Sebastopol and the march of relieving columns, or of supplies of food, and perhaps of ammunition. Suppose the next attack on the Malakhoff and Redan were preceded for a few days by a combined naval and military de monstration on the north side, might it not do somewhat to divide the resources of the garrison ? It may seem presumptuous for civilians to indulge in such suggestions, but we are all of us now getting used to military subjects, and we can assure our military readers we retain our proper deference for professional knowledge, though we hold ourselves able to comprehend its reasonings, and to proffer suggestions for its contemplation. In the Crimea we may add that the Russians surely will not be permitted, as is reported to be the case, to fortify Arabat or its singular penin sula. We have already proved that they cannot without our permission. To advert, in conclusion, to a very different region. Can nothing be effected in the Baltic worthy of our fleet there ? Early this year we strongly urged either that something should be done in the Baltic sufficiently vigorous to make a powerful diversion in favour of our operations in the south, or that a blockade merely should be maintained there, and powerful gun-boats, with guns of very long range, and other vessels, should be sent to the Euxine in sufficient numbers to sweep everything there from Bessarabia to Ba toum. The naval strength has been, however, actually sent to the Baltic. The Daily Yews shows that it is now just double what it was under the command of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. We hope there is some practical object in this. The object ought to be to have both sufficient strength to keep the Russian navy imprisoned, and at the same time to cover the landing of an army to form the basis of operations in Poland. If Lord DUNDONALD may not blow up Cronstadt except by rule, and if it be really useless to attempt bat tering the forts of the Neva with. what Sir C. Wool) has provided for that purpose, what else can be done than what we have indicated ? Deserters tell us that 10,000 Poles are ready to join our ranks from St. Petersburg, if we do but give them an opportunity. An intelligent Swedish correspondent has pointed out that even the people of Sweden, burning as they are with hostility to Russia, still think the Allies must attack her Northern as well as her Eastern power, before Sweden can safely declare war against the over bearing neighbour who threatens her liberty. Nothing, indeed, can be more absurd than to weaken the universal enemy towards Turkey, and at the same time to leave him striding on to the German Ocean. To us and to France the Sound is of more consequence than the Bosphorus. What is the Administrative Reform Association about 7 Letters of congratulation and approval are very pleasant writing, but they don't advance a cause much, however they may mark its pro gress ; and really, in this case, the leaders of the Association seem disposed to give themselves more credit for the appointments to which we refer than actually belongs to them. We could have no ob jection to this provided its tendency, under the circumstances, were not mischievous. Look at the Anti-Corn-Law League. Nobody would attempt to deny that its successes were trumpeted loudly far and wide; and for ourselves we did our best to give them publicity rather than hinted at any impropriety—and why ? Not because we sympathised any more in proportion to its importance with that movement than the pre sent, but because the announcement of every suc cess was hurled like a shell into the opposing camp, and was followed by a more confident and eager march forward. The League had not an inch of indolence in its composition, and it succeeded so soon because it struggled and fought for the speediest possible success. Wherever your business engagements, or pleasure trips, car ried you—there was the League. Its tracts— which were tracts, and absorbed dulness instead of dispensing it—were in every train, and its agents armed, against all hazards, s•norous, logi cal, humorous, and convincing, held forth tri umphantly in every locality. It was represented during the canvas—it was in high feather at the hustings—it breathed indignant reprobation from the pulpit—it woke to reason the slumbering senate. It had to encounter the prejudices of one-half of the population—it had to contend with the unabated power of the territorial aris tocracy, and the sarcastic censure of the most eloquent statesmen. It had to teach the people their grievances, and point out to commerce a royal road to the nations of the world, and the movement succeeded, because from the depths of their hearts the Leaguers meant it, and to the utmost of their ability strove to secure it. With half the advantages the Administrative Reform Association possesses it would have recorded al ready victories to which the late appointments are a mere bagatelle. Wehave no further quarrel with the Association than this arising from its apathy. But for the letters to which we have referred we should have said it was " crow'ners quest" defunct, and, in melancholy mood, had left a couple of tracts to a disappointed public, by way of legacy. Where are its agents? Where are its popular appeals to be heard ? What encouragement have the advo cates of Administrative Reform from it in the Senate ? What pulpit has caught a generous sympathy from its appeals? What hustings has sent forth a sound from it that has reverberated through the great heart of the nation ? What 1:3'; done towards the registration and the g aener com in say, let the Associati on I n HEAVENS name, we • a l election ? And echo answers, What ? be up and Alain. To move manfully with ouch a movement, is to prove yourself a patriot ; to lead ' it vigorously and skilfully, is to achieve high re nown ; but to fall asleep at its head were more than a fault—it were a crime. The Association holds a position, the occupation of which may, we hope it will not turn out to have been, a barrier to the ingress of men more resolved and effective. In common honour the Association must move faster, or make room for others. The interests at stake are of too great magnitude to adilit of dawdling delay. The army of England groans under the incubus of patronage, has been mar tyrised by the imbecility, recklessness, and ignor ance of men in office, and continues exposed to the same risk even to this day. A great war has been wilfully or ignorantly blundered and dwarfed to a degree nothing but the heroism of our gal lant fellow-countrymen has rescued from utter contempt. The confidence of the nation has been shamefully violated, and the great English people live daily in apprehension of an ignominious peace. With abuses unremedied—with evils imminent — with confidence lost—with the mightiest interests at stake, and liable to be sacrificed to the pettiest dynastic whim—and with corruption rife in our representative system, there is every incentive that should stimulate patriotic Englishmen to the most determined and ceaselessly-sustained action that can well be found, applied with un usual force. It will delight us exceedingly to find the Association rising from its torpor, as we trust it will, and proving itself equal to the occa sion and to the importance of the object. Vigor ous as well as well-meaning leaders of the move ment are absolutely necessary to success. It will _be seen by a paragraph in another column that Government are about to adopt the plan we have suggested for the last twelve mouths, of forcing an entrance into Sebastopol from the sea. This is to be effected by means of vessels of every kind, and a land force of 40,000 men. ATTACK ON SEBASTOPOL FROM THE SEA. The Times correspondent, in his letter from Paris, dated yesterday evening, says : " You are aware that the movements of the squadrons in the Black Sea, and activity and pre paration lately observed, have occasioned rumours of an approaching expedition to Odessa.. I have just heard another explanation of these movements, but of the exactness of which I know absolutely nothing, and I only give it as one of the various rumours that reach us. It is that an expedition is in fact preparing, but that its object is not Odessa, but a much nearer point—namely, the port of Se bastopol. The rumour adds, moreover, that a bold and desperate attempt will be made by 100 vessels of every kind with 40,000 men, to force the pas sage, land in the midst of the place, while a simul taneous attack on land will he made, and that its success is hardly doubted. Such is the rumour of the day." MADLLE. .RACHEL. This sublime actress is about to revisit England pro fessionally, her services having been secured by Mr. Mitchell for four nights, upon each of which she will appear in one of her greatest characters. Les "braces, Phedre, Adrienne Lecouvrear, and Andromaque, are the works announced for p e rformance ; and to give due effect to the , e, an efficient company—including M. L. Beauvallet, M. Chdry (of the Thdatre Francais), Madlle. Sarah, Lin, and Dinah Felix, Madlle, Latoucbe, Madlle. Durrey, and M. Randoue—has been also engaged. It will be seen that Madlle. Rachel's genius is to be chiefly employed in giving life to the noble and symmetrical, though cold ant etatuesque, beauties of Corneille and Racine. Animated by her divine fire, the sculptural figures of the French classic drama will become human beings, though moving in an atmosphere of poetry, and speaking an artificial language. The statues will be endowel with life ; the ideal will be realised — and beneath external forms 'of loveliness a teem ing brain will work, a mighty heart will palpitate. Madlle. Raches is the very incarnation of the French classic drama, the only actress in existence who can thoroughly vitOise its conceptions without impairing its formal dignitY,,or damaging the measured cadence of the verse, Eigein lies this wonderful artist's greatest triumph, thougii we loco:ally admit her excellence in the modern drama; and she has, therefore, made a most wise selection of characters for this her " farewell engagement previously for her departure for America." To an actress like Madlle. Rachel reputation is the "immediate jewel of the soul," and a, last impression is of equal importance with a first. The transcendent per formances to which we have spe;ially alluded won for her that universal fame which shenow enjoys without a rival, and her repetition of them on this occasion, whilst it recalls the glories of her past career, will still most strikingly display her present powers, and confirm in the strongest manner our belief in hei unequalled genius. The first performance is announced for Monday next, at the St. James's Theatre, when Madlle. Rachel will appear as Cafale, in ,Lcs "braces.' Writs have been issued for the election of an Irish representative peer, to succeed the Earl of Caledon, de ceased.

THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—Weather of such un common beauty, warm, genial, and fosteriog for every description of crop, bas seldom been experienced. Such has been their rapid advancement within the last four weeks that there is now a fair prospect of their being mature by the end of August. THE Cnors IN MID-KENT.—Tbe recent showers have been exceedingly beneficial to the whole of the growing crops, except, perhaps, to the strong pieces of barley, which in some places have been much laid. The wheat generally is looking well. ORDER OF THE GRENADIER GUARDS TO ALDERSHOTT. —Yesterday the let and 2d battalions of Grenadier Guards were ordered from Wellington Barracks, St. James's-park, to the camp at Aldershott ; and on Wed nesday next the battalions, headed by their band, will march to the Waterloo•road, to proceed thither by rail way. The Ist Bedford Militia have gone to the camp at Aldershott. DESTRUCTION OF CHAMOUNI BY FIRE.—Mr. Albert Smith will be most happy to receive any su bscriptions, however small, for the present aid of these poor and ex cellent people. They can be sent to the box-office of the Egyptian-hall, and will be forwarded tbtough Messrs. Lombard, Other, and Co., the bankers at Geneva, to M. Armand Pictet, the British Consul. The distribution will be entrusted to M. Lambert, the Curb of Chamouni.

The works which then bad materially decreased their make are now gra dually resuming full employment, though the trade is not by any means brisk. The Into reduction of 10 per cent. in the wages of the workmen is still in force. FATAL THUNDER STORMS.—On Monday evening last Halifax and the neighbourhood were visited by a very heavy storm of thunder and lightning , accompanied by a fall of rain which completely flooded the town and ad jacent country, doing a vast deal of damage, and caus ing the dea thof a man named Jenkinson, alias Wooler jenk, who was swept away by the torrent at Waterside, which threw down the walls of a house in Water-lane, occupied by Mr. C.

The accounts from the neighbouring villages, especially in the north-west direction, tell a long tale of mishaps and loss. At Queenhead much injury was inflicted. Messrs. J. Foster and Son, of that place, are said to have sus tained a loss to the amount of 1,0001. Derby and the neighbourhood were also the scene of the force with which the storm raged for several hours. At the Derby railway station the thunder and lightning were awfully terrific, and in some places the rails were under water.

PARIS, FRIDAY. The Moniteur publishes the following from General Polissier : CRIMEA, JULY 25. After a very sharp fire of artillery at midnight last night the enemy made a sortie on our left from the little Redan. As we are now close up to him, in an instant almost he arrived at our gabionade, where he was vigorously received by the Chasseurs, the Imperial Guard, awl the 10th Regiment of the line. The Russians fled back in haste, abandoning some wounded and eight killed, between our am- buscades and the fosse of the place. A very dark night enabled them to carry off the others. This affair does honour to Lieut.-Col. do Texis, of the infantry, and to Captain Lecocq, of the engineers. General Bisson was on duty in the trenches. HANOVER, JULY 26.

The Imperial Court of the Tuileries has gone into mourning for ten days from yesterday, five full, and five half-mourning, for the death of the Princess Lucien Bonaparte.

A letter from Constantinople says that the Porte has informed the different foreign embassies that it intends to draw up a series of general regula tions for settling mercantile disputes, and asking for their opinions on the subject. The Govern ment, adds the letter, was constantly receiving voluntary donations from different persons ; it had just received from Mersine and Karatsch 113,000 kilogs. of oats for the army. The Journal de Constantinople, of the 15th, says :—" Three days ago, at about half-past nine o'clock in the evening, Mr. Knight, correspondent of the Morning Herald, who had only arrived in the morning from the Crimea, and was returning on board the Taurus, by which vessel he was going back to the camp, was assaulted by four ruffians in the open street, who robbed him of everything he had about him. Notwithstanding his cries for assistance, no one had the courage to go to his assistance. We cannot too strongly call the atten tion of the police to such facts, which require a severe repression. The kiosk of Haidar Pacha has just been placed at the disposal of the English army as an hospital for officers. Forty-five of dif ferent ranks are already installed there." A letter from Jerusalem, of the 9th, announces that on that day M. Botta, who has been residing seven years in that city as French Consul, took his departure for Tripoli in Africa, a more impor tant post, to which he has been promoted as a re ward for his services. Tho disturbances which had distracted part of the adjacent country bad been appeased, and the road between Nazareth and Jerusalem had become safe for travellers. RUSSIA. THE WAR IN ASIA. The Invalide Busse publishes the following : " Aide-de-Camp General Mouravieff has sent the fol lowing details from Mougaradjik (situate to the south east, and about half a station from Kars), dated Bth and 13th (20th and 25th) June : " 'On the 6th (18th) June, in view of the town of Kars, and of the Turkish army shut up in it, I made a flank march with all my troops and their baggage train to the camp of Agdja-Kala, near the mountain of Maly- Yagny, close to the village of Mougaradjik, from which point I threaten the communication between Kars and Erzeroum. " ' The troops were formed in two marching columns, being equivalent to two lines of battle and a reserve ; the avant-garde marched in advance of the right column under the orders of Major-General Baklanoff. " It was followed by the main body, under Lieut.- General Prince Gaaarin, Commander of the 18th divi sion of infantry. Each regiment marched in two lines, the battalions were formed in order of battle, and the batteries in the space between the first line. " On a level with the main body, at 300 paces to its left, marched the left column, under the orders of Major- General de Maydell, temporary commander of the bri gade of the Grenadiers of the Caucasus. The infantry marched by regiments in double line, its left flank thrown forward, and the artillery formed a line per battery, its left also thrown forward. These troops were to form the reserve of the order of battle. " Nearer Kars and on the right of these columns a special corps of observation advanced under the orders of Major-General Count Nirod, consisting of the Prince Royal of Wurtemberg Dragoons, with batteries Nos. 6 and 7 of the Don Cossacks, and flanked by two sotnias of cavalry volunteers, commanded by Colonel Loris Melikoff, a sotnia of Karapapakhe Militia, and two sotnias of Mountain Militia, which had only arrived the day before at the camp of Agdja-Kala. " The arriue.garde, under the command of Major- General de Wasmund, was to follow in the rear of the right column. "'The baggage train of all the troops, accompanied by a special escort, took a more oblique direction to the left, following the road of the arabas, which runs by Khalife-Oglou and Zizinkoff to Mougaradik. As regards the hired transport convoys and moveable parks of artillery they were sent round by Kuronk-Dar and Sou bahtan. The care of that column was entrusted to Ma jor-General Freytag de Lohringhoff, in command of the Wilna Chasseurs. " I commanded the main body in person, and ordered Lieutenant-General de Brummer to march with the rear-guard which first covered the direct route from Kars to Agdja-Kala, and which, as the baggage train gradually disappeared, in the given direction followed, in the track of Prince Gn,,,orin. " .fir, the troops bad to make a flank march from .Agdja-Kala to Nog radjik over 27 vents of country tot I,lly deAitute of water, the troops were ordered to fill their v:,,itcc:ns 1P4,-,re starting. The troops left the camp of Agdja-Kala at 5 a.m. Count Nirod's column, which had taken - the lead of the infantry, halted at seven versts from Kars, after crossing the Xhallfe-Oglou road to that fortreao, and remained on that point until all the baggage had passed him. Half way the troops made halt of two hours, after which they resumed their march on Mougaradjilc where, having joined the baggage train, they encamped at six in the evening. " 'The garrison of Kars, which remained the whole day under arms, did not venture outside the walls. A detachment of Turkish cavalry followed the movements of our columns, which marched across country, without following the high road, and which approached, as stated above, within seven versts of Kars. " 'The order and threatening attitude maintained by our troops throughout the whole of the march prevented the Turks from attempting an atta,clc, althowTh a move ment of our troops so near the fortress, and a halt two hours within seven versts, was a challenge to battle: " After having taken up a position near the village of Mougaradjik, taking advantage of the proximity of the high road to Erzeroum, which offered the facility of pursuing the Turkish army, which has shut itself up in Kars, I at once ordered out detachments to intercept all provisions or ammunition intended for the fortress, and to cut off all communication of the enemy with Erze roum by the high road. • " Thus, onthe morrow, that is to say on the 7th (19th) of June, a company of volunteers, under Colonel Loris Meiikoff, sent to make a reconnaissance in the village of Begly-Akhniet, captured the quarter-master of the artillery regiment of Arabistan, which had been sent from Kars to procure barley in the villages. " On the Bth (20th) June, at daybreak, a patrol of Cossacks of the combined regiment No. 2 carried off under the very walls of the fortress part of a caravan proceeding there. The advanced posts of the enemy who saw the seizure made a show of an intention to rescue it, but the advance of two sotnias of reserve stopped the Turks, and the Cossacks brought all their booty unhindered into camp. It consisted of 168 sacks of rice, 8 camels, 86 oxen, and 36 armed drivers in charm• of the caravan. " Information was at the same time acquired that the Turks had collected a store of provisions for Kars in the villages of Begly-Akhmet and Tchiblakhlou, on the high road to Erzeroum, and consequently Major-General Baklanoff was sent there with four squadrons of the Prince of Wurtemberg dragoons, five sotnias of Cos sacks, and two sotnias of militia, with four field-pieces and a rocket battery. General Baklanoff was instructed to carry off as much as ho could, at ,d to destroy the rest. " On the same day, General Freytag de Lobring hoff's column, which had been sent by Kurouk-Dar and Soubabtan. and a newly-formed regiment of Kurds, No. 2, numbering five sotnias, arrived in perfect order. The horsemen are athletic, and well-armed and mounted. " On the 9th (21st) June a detachment was sent from the camp to support Major-General Baklanoff, who sent back the following report On the Bth (20th) June he reached the village of Begly-Akhmet, where be found and seized 150 tchetwerts of barley, and 150 ponds of biscuit. On the 9th (21st), at daybreak, Major-General Baklanoffadvanced on the village of Tchiblakhlou, where the Turks had collected 800 tchetwerts of barley, which they had deposited in a mosque turned into a store house. Having carried away as much as he could in arabas, Major-General Baklanoff set fire to the rest, storehouse and all, and returned the same day to Begly Akhmet. "During the halt of our troops at Tchiblekhlou, the mountaineer sotnias, who formed the outposts, seized two mails, proceeding from Erzeroum to Kars, and cap tured the mail postman, with three men who accompa nied him. " All this time the rain poured down in torrents, making the roads almost impracticable. The waters of the Kars-Tchai increased so considerably that the ferry at the village of Tikma, was rendered very difficult. Major-General Baklanoff crossed the river, ho,rever, on the 10th (22d), without accident. He did not once see the enemy during his expedition. He brought back a portion of the provisions seized at Begly-Akhmet. " Thus four days' sojourn at the camp of Mouga radjik have procured us, without the slightest loss on our side, a certain number of prisoners (one of whom is an officer), anc a considerable quantity of provisions, whilst the Turks have been cut off from their chief com munication with Erzeroum. " Since the return of General Baklanoff, small de tachments hare been sent in the direction of Saganloug, which carry off and bring away Turkish deserters from the g,rr . kon at Kar , -. " 'From the position we occupy, the fortifications of Kars, and the enemy's army shut up there, are visible. The Turks continue to strengthen their works of defence, and are throwing up new ones on different points. The Turkish troops have not once left their entrenchments. The cavalry pickets which they keep outside within can non range of the fortress are in saddle day and night. At the least movement on our part reserves come out, and only retire when the detachment that has alarmed them returns to camp. " 'Since the 3d (15th) of June the Erivan detach ment, which has crossed our frontiers under Major- General Sous'off, is encamped at a place called Douty. The Turkish troops are entrenched near the Monastery of Sourb Oganes, and remain strictly on the defensive. The news from the Erivan detachment reaches to the 9th (21st) of June.' . . A letter from Odessa, of the 14th, in a Vienna paper, says :-- "As long as Austria preserved a menacing position towards Russia, the Russian army which had returned from the Principalities was obliged to watch the fron tiers of the Upper Pruth. and to maintain communica tions with the troops in Poland. For this reason Kis cheneff was chosen as the central basis of the army. The situation having since changed, the Commander-in chief of the army of the south, General Luders, has re ceived orders to remove his bead-quarters from Kische neff to Odessa, in order to prevent the enemy from seizing the territory between Ismail and Perekop, and to support more efficaciously the operations which are preparing in the Crimea. The staff of this army is to arrive in this town on the 17th. The four regi ments of cavalry now here, two of them uhlans and two hussars, and the eleventh division of re serve are about to leave for Nicolaieff ; they are to be replaced by troops of the first corps. Travellers from Bessarabia state that Ismail is perfectly fortified, and that it has a garrison of 20,000 men. The troops who are to leave for the Crimea are to be passed in re view to-morrow. The Archbishop Innocent of Kherson has been to Sebastopol on the demand of Prince Gortscha koff to encourage the combatants and give them his blessing. He was received with great enthusiasm and he harangued the troops. Since the affair of the 18th ult. all persons have Lean forbidden visiting the south side of Sebastopol. All persons have also been inter dicted from passing the Isthmus of Perekop without permission from Prince Gortschakoff or General Luders. Since the death of General Todtleben it is General Melukioff who is charged with the internal defence of Sebastopol." THE REVOLT OF TRW 13A SHI-BAZOUKS. We seek in vain in the Constantinople journals for some particulars relative to the revolt of the Bashi-Bazouks at the Dardanelles. The Journal de Constantinople excuses itself for postponing the account until its next number by some accident at its printing-office. We learn, however, from a private letter some particulars, which may be thus summed. up : " It appeals that on the 7th a band of these irregular troops broke into a country house in the vicinity of the Dardanelles, and acted in the most shameful manner towards some women and young girls who lived there. Such conduct evidently called for punishment, and the ringleaders were arrested. Such an act, quite foreign to the habits of the Bashi-Bszouks, accustomed as they have always been to impunity, produced the greatest fermentation amongst the whole body, and some of them threatened vengeance on Gencral Beat sou, who had ordered the arrest, He, however, set them at defiance, and in the end they were ob'iged to treat with that officer. Accordingly, delegates presented themselves to the General, and laid before him this alternative —either to set the persons under ar rest immediately at liberty (amongst them was a chef d'escadron), or to see the whole corps desert en masse. The general refused, as was his duty, to listen to these insolent propositions. On this refusal the delegates returned to their own men, who, on learning what had taken place, rushed round the general's tent, tore down the English flag and trampled it under foot, and in a few minutes quitted the town with tremendous cries, not more than 500 remaining behind, and proceeded towards the village of Rein-Keni, threatening to soon return, and set fire to the town. This withdrawal excited the greatest alarm amongst the population, who knew well what excesses these undisciplined soldiers were capable of committing ; the shops were at once closed, and the doors of the houses barricaded. General Beatson then endeavoured to make use of the regular troops in the town to op pose the irregular body should they return, but was at last obliged to apply to the French and English consuls, who obtained from Siva Pacha, the go vernor, assurances of aid. A Turkish • division, with two field pieces, patrolled the immediate neighbour• hood, and the Eumdride and the Tisiphone French steam-corvettes having landed bodies of their men, the inhabitants soon recov ere d from their apprehensions. Since then, the town is described as quiet, but such was not by any means the case with the environs, where the Bashi-Bazouks took up their residence as in a conquered country. They pillaged a farm in the Troad, though not without resistance, and losing two of their men, who were killed by the occupants of the house. Rein Keni was pillaged and burnt; and other acts of violence were apprehended along the coast. A body of 300 Ottoman soldiers were despatched by the Turkish authorities in a steamer to try and put a stop to such ravages, and they were followed by a corps of Syrian cavalry. Out of the Bashi-Bazouks who took no part in the rebellion, one half submitted to an order given by General Beatson to embark for the Bosphorus, but the others refused to depart, and force, it was thought, would be needed to compel them. Such was the state of affairs at the 16th,, when the last accounts left Con tantinople."
