The following circular, numbered 1,180, has been issued by the War-office, and is dated March the 10th:— " Sir,--It havin g been represented that some regimental officers serving in lie Wince are desirous of the oppor tunity of drawing from the Paymaster only tho portion of their pay sufficient to meet their immediate requirements, so as to avoid the risk of having money unnecessarily in their han d s, lam directed by the Secretary-at-War to ac quaint you that, with a view to meet the wishes of officers with the army now on service iu the Crimea, the regula tion article 127 of the Explanatory Directions is suspended in those cases in which an officer shall notify in writing to the Paymaster his desire to draw only a portion of his pay. The officer, in making such notification, will specify, as nearly as iney be, the proportiowhe will probably require per mouth; and the Paymaster is so to regulate his draughts on the military chest as to prevent the unrequired pay from being drawn out of the military chest. "The Paymaster will moot the officer's requisitions for money on account of his personal pay accordingly, and will charge in his quarterly statement of pay to be accounted for by the agent (A. 2, Form 27 of the Pay List), only the amount actually issued to the officer, annexing to such statement a separate memorandum showing the amount drawn by the officers respectively for the period of such statement and the amount that remains to be subsequently claimed, and also annexing a duplicate of such memoran dum to the duplicate statement required by Circular No. • 1,005, as a voucher for the Pay List. "I am to add that the balance remaining undrawn is to be carried on in the memorandum from quarter te quarter, so as to show, until the final aljustment of the account, the amount of pay that remains due to the officer. " The arrangements in this letter are not applicable to officers who draw their pay from the agent. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, " B. HAWES. "To Officer Commanding the Regiment." Thera were no movements yesterday in the fleet at Portsmouth, and service was performed afloat as uni versally as it was on shore. The troops went to chapel' without side arms, no bands attended them , and alto gether the pOrt and g arr i son never presented a more sombre mpect, for there was a thick fog, and rain de seenkle_pearly the whole day. The Hon. Augustus. Stafferd,.M.P arrived at 3 o'clock from London mid . visited the Garrison Hospital at Port-ea., over which hoe was eoitdunted by Major-Gener a l Sir Fr e de r i c k Smith, • It.t. -There are 46 military invalids now in that estat, • lishnient, all doirig- well. The Geyser, 6, paddle-sloop, ComMander Dew, returned to Spithead yesterday, and joined the fleet. The ReSistance and the Walter Mau rice troop-ships sailed from Portsmouth yesterday with detachments of troops—the former for Malta ' and the latter for Bermuda. The Cou r t are ex p ec t e d to leave Oshorne on Saturday for London. A mail for the army in the Crimea, Greece, and Malta,"the hospital at Scutari, th e Bl ac k Se a fleet, and ships engaged in the transport service, will be made up tc-ruorrow evening, and be forwarded via Marseilles. The postage must be paid in advance ; the rate is 3d. the quarter ounce. All letters for wounded or invalids should be specially addressed "The Hospital, Scutari, Constantinople." The line of battle ships Marlborough, 131 guns, building at Portsmouth ; the Conqueror, 100 guns, at Devonport ; the Ed g ar, a t Woolwich, a,rid the Heroand the Renown, each 91 gun ships, building at Chatham, are all nearly completed for launching. Advices from Nyberg, dated March 19th, state that the ice had broken up in the Great Belt, and, under the influence of a strong wind, was rapidly disappearing ; ships had arrived at Elsinore ; Kiel harbour was partially open; the Sound had broken up on the Swedish side ' • and at Swinemunde the fairway of the w i n t er harbour was open. A letter datel " Camp before Sebastopol, March I," says, respecting the Roman Catholic chaplains : " The Rev. Mr. Sheahan is very ill, and I scarcely can say that the Rev. Mr. Butt is any better. The Rev. Mr. Butt has been very severely attacked by typhus, and yes terday I confess, when I saw him for a moment, I almost despaired of his recovery. To-day he seems a trifle less unwell. Major Herbert does everything he can for both these good suffering men. He has just been sending the Rev. Mr. Butt some orangeade, almost the only thing he can take, and I have been helping him to pin some extra blankets round the Rev. Mr. Shoehan's tent to prevent the snow and freezing air from driving into it. Mr. Sheahan's illness seems to have been brought on principally by over exertion and exhaustion. He has a sort of abscess in the throat, which renders him almost speechless, and he ap pears to be extremely weak and suffering. The thousands of poor, thoughtless Catholic soldiers badly want his affec tionate words of reproach and exhortation. Ido not be lieve that Mr. Sheahan is in imminent danger, but I fear you must not count upon his doing much work for a very considerable time—not such work, at all events, as he has gone through for many months. I trust you may be able to send out four or five priests. They are much wanted. Here, at least, they would be sure of welcome, for every one sympathizes with the suffering and dying soldiers."

On 'Friday - last the whole of the Royal Artillery in the garrison, with the exception of those on duty, assem bled in review order, at eleven o'clock a.m., and were formed into hollow square on the guard mounting parade, under the command of Col. Anderson, to witness the presentation of the good-conduct medals to • the 21 reci pients at present at Woolwich, out of the 56 awarded. Many of the non-commissioned officers and men to whom medals and gratuities have been awarded are at present serving in the Crimea, and the early intelligence of their being approved of for medals and gratuities will be a great satisfaction to them. Major-General E. C. Whin yates, C. 8., commandant of the garrison, in a neat and appropriate speech, presented each man with his medal. The men on foreign stations will have their medals sent out to them. The interesting ceremony was concluded by the band playing "God save the Queen." security against the very contingency of war; the di visioaC of Christiens. Such are a few of the national sins for which we should humble ourselves. But na tional humiliation, .to be anything better than the pro ! feesion of the Pharisee, must be based on personal humi liation—on a deep sense of those sins which mark our characters as individuals. And we must acid to these confessions—to this acknowledgment of sin—hearty resolu tions and vows of amendment, to do our utmost to lessen the evil that has happened, and to compass all those great oljects which are yet unattained. And hero I admit that the most sincere resolutions will meet with difficulties. When benevolent feelings are awakens 1, they will often find that principles of truth claim to regplate and guide thorn. The case of education illustrates this. No one has 'been able to mark out the Standing ground between seen :oiffinticuarlst,ieaen, deso-eir)eynmaapnastshi,lvlafiynctihpil.oenugtyhoaflllvoobrksttaocldeos., hr and denomi na ti onal education. Sill, whatever may be w t those e c and a, sound faith, a h earty c h arity, and a strong will may Iu saying such thin gs I am not throwires blame ou any persons. If I am to p ro p or ti on and distribute blame, I confess that we, the clergy, must receive th e grea t er s h are , and that the burden of past neglect and present duty presses with more fearful responsibility on the bishops of the Church than ou any other men in this kingdom ' • but, hav ing owned this, I would give a caution again s t harsh and rough judgments about the Church and its ministers, and I would plead in their behalf that they are but men. But agaie : let us not attempt to stay to-day at confessions and resolutions, but give proof of their sincerity by offering alms, and consecrating to the building of a House of God at Constantinople some of our abundance. Alms and good works are, like prayers, very powerful instruments in pro curing blessings in this world and the next ; and the reason of this is, that Christ takes them up into his all-powerful intercession, incenses them with his merits, and prevails with our heavenly Father to accept them. And now, in con clusion, I would hope that, besides any direct blessings which God may grant to us in answer to our prayers and other sacrifices, the moral influence of this day may be good, in steadying, calming, and giving decision to the national mind—in helping to keep it clear of wrath and bitterness, and in fixing it on the one legitimate object—a right and lasting peace. War may thus be not an unmixed ovii. Indeed it has already been profitable to us in many ways : our army and navy have given proofs of the noblest devotion to their country's cause ; the self-denial and geritlenese, and patience and perseVerance of those Christian women who hive ministered to the wants of the sick and wounded has set us at home a noble example, and I trust that we shall so learn that less )n, that, whenever God in his mercy restores to us the blessing of peace, wo sh a ll fine th a t th e storm of war has cleared away many clonds which wore darkening our horizon: Let us hope that those hearts which are being practised in expressions of. strong yet ten der sympathy, will not, when the present demand upon them ceases, draw in those sympathies from daily exercise —but that the poor, the ignorant, the publican, and the harlot—the prisoner, the orphan and the widow, and the rich and the feeble, will all experience the fruits both of that unselfish charity which the perils of war have so fos tered and invigorated, and of this humiliation of ourselves before God—this confession of our sins—these resolutions • to amend our ways, which have been prompted by our earnest desires for a successful issue of the calamities of the present war, and for the restoration of peace. THE MILITIA: Yesterday morning the City of London Royal Regi ment of Militia were paraded and inspected by Colonel Wilson in the Artillery-ground, Finsbury, after which the men attended divine service in St. Paul's District Church, Bunhill-row, and those who profess the Roman Catholic religion were marched to Moorfields Chapel. It was expected that this regiment would have proceeded to Deptford last Tuesday, when the men's billets expired, the order for the change of quarters however, was coun termanded, and billets for another month issued. It is stated that the corps will proceed to Canterbury in the first instance. Yesterday the Tower Hamlets Light Infantry Regi ment of Militia assembled at the head-quarters, Bethnal green, and, having been inspected by the commanding officer, the officers and men marched to the parish church to attend divine service ; the Roman Catholics belonging to the corps and the Dissenters being marched to their respective places of worship. It is expected that this regiment will proceed t 9 Woolwich early in the en suing week for permanent garrison duty. The East Kent Militia, stationed at Woolwich, was inspected on Monday in the East-square by Assistant Adjutant-General Pipon, from the Horse Guards, prepa ratory to its embarkation for service at Malta. At the inspection the Adjutant-General had the regiment formed into square, when ho addressed it, complimenting its commanding officer upon the soldierlike appearance of the men, and .their orderly and peaceable conduct in quarters, which, he said, refl ec t e d grea t cre di t upon all. He added that it' would be a source of much pleasure to be able to report to the Commander-in-Chief their high state of efficiency. It is expected that the corps will embark next week at Deptford or Woolwich, and will be replaced by the Tower Hamlets Militia, from London. The Royal Montgomery Rifle Regiment of Militia, which bas been embodied since last December, is sta tioned at its bead-quarters, Welshpoo'. It is at its full complement, and is equipped with rifles, tunics, and greatcoats. The Queen's O wn Regiment of Staffordshi re Militi a, having been ten months in Dover garrison, Will to-day embark from Portsmouth, for service in the Mediter ranean, in the Hansa steam-ship, of 2,500 tons. Colonel the Hon. W. P. Talbot, Major Nye, Captains Chambers, the Hon. C. Wrottesley, S. Lane, Rycreft, C. Lane, and Eaton, with 12 subaltern officers, Captain and Ad jutant Hillman, and Captain and Paymaster Mills, with !350 r an k an I file, go ouf... The Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire (Lord Hatherton) arrived at Dover on Sunday, and was entertained at a fall dress menu, at the TILE NATIONAL EUMILLITION. Yesterday being set aside for prayer and humiliation to the Divine Majesty, and imploring hisi blessing and assistance on our arms for the restoration of peace to her Majesty and her dominions, it was observed in Lon don with much reepect. All the Government establish ments, Royal Exchange, Lloyd's, docks, banks, &c., wero closed, and the entire business of the metropolis, with very few exceptions, was suspend e d. All the lead iug railways out of London limited their trains to those running on Sundays. At half-past eleven the Lord Chancellor, attired in his robes, preceded by the offic,rs of the House of L ,, rds, the mace, and seal, went from the House of Lords to Westmin tar Abbey. His lordship was accompanied by a number of peers. Amongst them were the Earl Granville, Earl Grey, Lord R3desiale, Earl Waldo grave, Marquis of Angi ey, and several of the bishops in full canonica's. The Bishop of Salisbury preached the sermon, taking his text from the 18th chapter of St. Luke, 13th versa—" God he inere:ful to me a sinner." At twelve o'clock 0 e members of the House of Com mons proceeded on Foot to St. Margaret's Chtirch. The Srea'iu, who was robed, was attended by a large circle of mentor=. Amongst them we observed Lord Pal merst m, Sir George Grey, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Vernon Smith, Sir B. Hall, Sir J. NV: Hogg, Lord A. Paget, Mr. T. Hankey, Lord Ebrington, 4:cc - % A most eloquent discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Melvill. Both the Abbey and church were inconveniently crowded, and a large coneourseassembled in Parliament-street to view the procession from the two houses. In the afternoon the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Cor poration attended divine service at St. Paul's Catt e drat, the sermon being preayhed by the Bishop of London. Collections were made at most of the churches, which were all thronged. The following reports give a fair idea of the various sermons which were preached upon this solemn oc casion : WESTMINSTER ABBEY. Long before the hour appointed for the commencement of divine service every pact of the Abbey was densely crowded. Amongst the members of the Upper House pre sent were the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville Earl Grey ; Earl Waldegrave, Lord Redesdale, Lord Berners, the Bishop of St. Asaph, the Bishop of St. David's, &c. The sermon was preached by the Lord Bishop of Sails bury, from Luke xviii., part of verse 13, " God b e merci eftfi the right o me g hat v. srienne prelate'sr."T he discourse subjoined h principal portion The judgment that the war is a just and necessary one is very unanimous, and, on the whole, correct ; and I put this remark on the very front of this discourse, because a different judgment would introduce into the subject of humiliation on this day other elements than those which now belong to it. One effect of such a judgment should be to increase, quicken, and confirm our endeavours t o o bt a i n success, and secure the restoration of peace. Wh a t ever s; and prudence and forethought, an d manly y can should be done; but perhaps my office to esdknaiyelrlgiasnndotgeu so de ni much to deal with these secondary causes as to bring you to that point in the chain of causation when we come into the presence of the ordaining will of God, and to remind you that the most powerful instruments we can use when in that presence are prayer and fasting. and resolutions of amendment of life and almsgiving. Now, there are various metaphysical difficulties about prayer ; but the premises about it in Scripture, the examples of successlul prayer, and the doctrine of our Lord's inter cession; and the privilege enjoyed by God's children of interceding for others, leave no doubt that prayer is a means of obtaining blessings of pardon and grace, and all other gifts of God ; and the Church has over mani fested in its life its firm conviction that this is so. But, , and in the prac sseuye will tell you w h a t has of reachi n g f or th th e i r boon t b i c e s e ic e l efsHtlei Church,ei.s- testimony ye uofmGeoyd catehischise ord Ge people on this subject, whatever' be their condition —be they m ar ty rs , o r rich men and yet poor in spirit, or the most destitute in oeral i l e h ey t sa e n i r eadbeyewtahye happy issue they hands in prayer towards the mercy-seat of their God. But of f s ei publicanmea s of o gracethe ay be used well or ill—i n t h e sp i r i t spirit of the Pharisee—we must take care how we engage in it ; that we present ourselves to God. in the same garb and character in which we have commonly appeared before His all-seeing eye. We should confess the plague-spots which mark our present condition as a nation, and which are, far example, such as these ; the great want of provision of the ordinances of our holy religion for our.increasiug population, and the scanty mail - tenance given in new endowments for these whce minister Gun's word and sacraments ; the neglect of education, and of reforming criminals, and of reclaiming Mapiniones ; the imperfect condition of our hospitals, as places where not only bodily but seiiitual diseases may be healed ; the wide spread indulgence' in the lusts of the Hest; the unbridled licence of the tongue for which we are remarkable ; our boastful and contemptuous temper ; our love of money, 014 all its *admit evils; our past confidence in our HER MAJESTY'S CHAPEL OF THE SAVOY. The following aro portions of the sermon delivered yes terday at the above chapel by the Rev. John Forster, M.A., from Dent. xxxi., 17, " Then my anger shall be kiudletl against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be de voured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them ; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils came upon us, because our God is not among us ?" : Ifs times of public peril or perplexity, men are always more prone to cast blame upon their rulers than upon themselves. Errors aro, indeed, inseparable from all human agency ; but although, in the cmduct of a great war, undoubted errors of judgment may have been committed by " the powers that be" among ourselves, objectors are slow to admit that the positive transgressions of the whole nation may also have long been crying aloud for vengeance, and that the errors of its elected rulers are often the instru ments employed for working out the chastisements of God. It is He, as the Prophet tills us, " who turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish." Some who refuse to acknowledge this arc yet obliged to confess, when they reflect ou all the circumstances of our recent perplexities, that there is something in them not to be ac counted for according to any ordinary course of human affairs ; but they talk of a certain strange fatality (as they term it) which has seemed to wait on some of our best concerted plans. For us, my Christian hearers (who are here to-day to make a very different acknowledgment), let our confession simply be, that the hand of God is upon us ; that as a nation wo needed humbling, and accordingly have been humbled in the way which Divine wisdom has seen most fitting. It is with the fact of national disaster that we, as Christian worshippers, are chiefly concerned, not with considerations whether or not it might have been prevented • but yet we can scarcely fail to perceive th a t the hand of man has been paralysed by events such as the wisest could not hare anticipated. It is true that Eng land has not to mourn over defeat; on the contrary, glo rious and repeated victories have crowned her arias ; but an unseen hand has hitherto counteracted the effect of those successes, and positive calamity has ensued—pes tilence and famine, snow and vapour, wind and storm, have fulfilled his word. Surely none could remain in any doubt where to look for the first great cause of the re sults which have been witnessed, if they would only study the course of God's declared dealings with man from the earliest times. Of the events recorded in sacred story, seine have been pointed to which bear certain features of resemblance to those which we have had to deplore. King Pharaoh and tho Egyptians refused (as so many, prac tically, now refuse) to acknowledge that "the Lord God Omnipotent reignoth." After a succession of judgments (including plague and scarcity) visited upon that people, we see human life fearfully smitten down among them; and when at length their hosts went forth to the eattle— to the yet more fearful destruction which awaited them at the Red Sea—that very remarkable incident occurs (one so suggestive of the difficulties of transport experienced by our own countrymen iu the East) where the Lord troubled the host of the Egyptians, and their chariot wheels became so obstructed in their course that they Brave them heavily. And notwithstanding the mercies which attended the chosen people-on that occasion, their subsequent sufferings were evidently chastenings for their sins. "These things," St. Paul admonishes us, "are our examples." Doubtless, we consider ourselves as now enrolled in the ranks of God's people; but the Apostle would not have us ignorant, that although (as in the memorable incident which commenced the pr,esent war) the whole host of Israel had "passed through the sea" in safety to the wished-fir shore, while the perils of the waters were added to those from a watchful enemy eager to overwhelm them, yet, afterwards, God was not well pleased with his people, and many of their host were overthrown in the wilderness. Again, in later times, when the Almighty would punish their impeniterce and disobedience, he says to them, by the mouth of the P.ophet 110502, "I have sent among you a pestilence after the manner of Egypt; ye i Ltr young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horscs, and I have made the smell of your camps to come up into your nostrils." And if a great and exceeding bitter cry of anguish and. alarm has now extended itself over our land, i ; there not (as there ever has been in the like cases) a cause? Are not our own sins the cerise? Nearly a twelvemonth has gone by since our last solemn day of national humilia tioe for this war; but are there many more of us than there were then careful to put the questions home to out selves, What evil have I * done ? how far have my indi vi ival trangressions contributed to swell the heavy account of national delinquency, and so to draw down chastise ments upon my country ? Certainly none can reply that th:y have done no sin; and although it may be difficult, under some circumstances of public perplexity, to solve the question, What shall we do ? yet the question, What shall Ido ? is ono not at all difficult of practioal reply ; for each individual may, with the help of Divine grace, at least amend one. Unless we forthwith resolve on such self-reformation, this solemn act of prof esse d h um iliation to-day is a fresh mockery, which only aggravates our sin ; and we may rest assured that, until the Almighty Dis poser has effected his own purposes by our amendment, no human efforts can ever avail in bringinc , the war which so heavily afflicts us to a close. To Him, therefore, who can overrule evil for good, and out of darkness bring forth light, wo are to look up in repentance and faith. Every thing will still be egainst us, unless the God of Hosts be propitiated and go forth on our side. With that defence, what may we not hope for, and speedily ? "He will re move from us the northern army ; and, turning him back by tho way by which he came, will drive him into a land barren and desolate : even the lofty city, He layeth it low ; the fortress of the high fort of their walls will He bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust." From the Ist of January to the 18th November, 1854, the list of insolvent firms from Melbourne, Australia, was 165 in number. The total amount of their, liabili ties, according to their filed schedules, was 786,3381. 17s. 10d. About 20 per cent, must be added to that sum on account of foreign claims. In addition to the above list of insolvent firms, estates owing about 400,0001. were put under trust in Melbourne during the above-named period. THE CATASTROPHE AT BRISTOL.—.BRISTOL, March 21. —The part'culars of the startling intelligence that the great iron-bridge leading from Bath-parade to the Lon den-road had been carried away by a steam-boat, and that a number of persons who were crossing at the time, as well as some carts and horses, had been precipitated into the river, and some of them drowned, were given in The Sun of yesterday. We may add that up to 5 o'clock this afternoon only two bodies had been recovered. It being Fast-day, and consequently a general holiday, the site of the catastrophe was this afternoon visited by some thousands of persons. IMPORTS OF LINSEED, &o.—A retain obtained by Mr. Collier, M.P., shows that during the year 1854 there were imported into the United Kingdom from Russian ports within the Blaek Sea 321,927 quarters of linseed and flax seed, 485,797 qrs. of wheat, 148 qrs. of rye, 53.403 qrs. of maize or Indian corn, 1,777 cwt. of flour and meal, 65 cwt. of undressed hemp, and 32,203 cwt. of tallow.

The Minister of War has received from the Com mander-in-Chief of the army in the Crimea the fol lowing despatch, dated Fob. 27 : Monsieur le Mal echal,—l have the honour to addreea you some details respecting the coup de main executed on the night of the 23d and early morn of the 24th of Feb., in front of our right aAack. The dispositions which had been taken were as fol lows :—A. detachment of engineers and one of artillery, two battalions of the 2d Zouaves (Colonel Cler), and one battalion of the 4th Regiment of Marines (Commander Mermier), having at their bead the General of Brigade Monet, were to invade the work thrown up by the Rua sians in front of the right of our lines. Two battalions of the 6th and 10th Regiments of the line (Lieutenant- Colonel Dubos) formed the reserve. The whole was commanded by the General of Division Mayran, and, lastly, the operation was superintended and directed by the General of Division Bosquet, who cimmands the Second Corps. The Rua: inns had placed several ambuscades in front of their work, -which, amidst the darkness of the night, pre,ented obstacles, the position and strength of which it was difficult to ascertain. Tue troops charged with the attack advanced towards the object vigorously, driving the enemy back, and whi'e the battalions marching on the left and in the centre overcame these obstacles, the Zouaves, led on by Culone Cler, and having at their head General de Monet, wounded already four Vines, penetrated into the work, under a very heavy lira of musketry, and threw themselves on the Russian infantry collected there. This infantry gave way after a short but violent struggle, in which a brilliant part was taken by the detachment of engineers under the command of Captain Valesque, and by that of the artillery under the command of Lieutenant Delafosse. The Zouaves displayed here the most remarkable intrepidity. _ _ _ The enemy sustained numerous losses. The object we had proposed to ourselves was attained ; we could not think of establishing ourselves on a spot exposed on every side to the Russian artillery ; but we bad showed them once more our superiority in action. The return to our own lines was effected without being disturbed by the astonished enemy, although in number he was greatly superior to us. The reserve, which bad left the trenches to protect the retreat in case of need, met no one. Our losses have been sensible, though not in propor tion to the extent and dangers of this nocturnal combat, during which our soldiers, until their return to the trenches, were exposed to the fire of the artillery of the place. Our troops have been admirable as at all times, and I cannot address to them greater eulogiums. CANROBEST. ( Front the Invalide Russe, of March 12.) In order to complete the report from the Crimea rela tive to the attack on the Selenghinsk redoubt by the enemy in the night between the 23d and 24th of February, we give the following details of this affair from a report of Aide-de-Camp General Baron Osten-Sacken under date of February 15, No. 26, and addressed to the late Com mander-in-Chief of the land and naval forpes in the Crimea. In the evening of the 23d, the troops selected for finish ing the construction of the redoubt commenced on the preceding night, were dispond as follows The Selengbinsk regiment of infantry in the redoubt, the 4th battalion at the works, the 2d and 3d in the in terior of the entrenchment, and the Ist in the trench. The battalions of the Volhynian regiment of infantry were advanced in order to cover the works, namely, the 4th in columns of companies beyond the lodgments effected in front of the redoubt, the Ist and 2d on the right of the redoubt, and the 31 on the left, in attacking columns. At two o'clock in the morning, after the moon, which had been shining brilliantly, bad gone down, the dis mounted Cossacks of the battalion No. 8 of the Black Sea, who occupied the ambuscades in front of our lodg ments, gave information that the columns of the enemy were forming in front of the trenches. At the same in stant, the chain formed by the 10th and 11th companies of musketeers in the Voihynian Regiment opened a very steady fire, and Major-General Khroistcheff, who commanded the , ts'..o reghnent, moved forward the Ist and 24 battalions of the Voihyniau Regiment, who were under arms on the right .of the redoubt. but having perceived that the enemy, who bad pene trated through the gap between the 2d and 3d batta lions, was already attacking the redoubt, he ordered the two first battalions to wheel to the left, and fell on the flank and rear of the enemy's columns, whilst a hand-to hand combat had already ensued in the trench. The enemy was instantly overthrown, the trench being filled with hii dead. At the same time, the 3,1 battalion and the 12th coin. parry of theniu , l k e e f le e fi r a s n k o , f tlie V repulsed ol li were onrtlnieianattßaecgkimofenat:iowthheor column, which had advanced hither to the left of the redoubt. Major-General Shroustcheff, taking advantage of the moment, had the charge beat, The brae(*) Yolhpiana, t ;,. R _ . ;;:, .a_ v~~ ---~ G~ ,under his personal command, moved rapidly forwards, b ayonetting the Zouaves and Marines who endeavoured to repel their onset. The struggle lasted long, but the Russian bayonet triumphed over the firmness cf the enemy, who fled in disorder to his trenches. In the meantime, Colonel Sebaschinsky, with the Ist battalion of the Selenghinsk Regiment entrusted to his command, issued from behind the right face -of the It doubt, and rapidly advanced to help his companions in arms. The 4th company of Grenadiers, "the 10th com pany and a platoon of the 11th company of musketeers from the Volynian Regiment joined him, under the command of Colonel Svistchevsky. These troops (dashed, with beat of drum, along the Sappers' way ; and while seeking, in the dark, the. Volhynians, who were engaged with the enemy, they fell in with a French calumn, that was marching in haste to succour the Zouaves, and overthrew it into the ravine, under the fire of our batteries and steamers. Twice the enemy endeavoured to return to the attack, but was driven back each time with loss to his trenches. At last, after an hour's fighting with the bayonet, during which time the Russian drummers had not ceased beat ing the charge, the enemy was compelled to retire finally, leaving in our hands more than a hundred dead, eight of whom were officers ; our troops, moreover, took twenty four prisoners, five of them officers. The enemy has lost in all no less than 600 men, as during his retreat he was exposed to the heavy fire of the neighbouring bastions, and the steamers Vladimir, Chersonesus, and Grome. nossets, lying in the roadstead. On our side we had 65 killed, 5 subaltern officers, and 236 private wounded. THE POLICY OF THE EMPEROR A LEXANDER. The following information comes in a letter from St. Petersburg, dated the 9th : "The acts of the Government, and especially the official cords of the new Emperor, tend to show more and more clearly the line of conduct which he purposes to follow. All these speeches, addressed at the pre sent moment to the representatives of the different bodies and administrations of the State, may be con densed in these two words, Je maintiendrai,' or in other words, lam firmly resolved to march in the way traced out by my father.' The evening before he ad dressed the Diplomatic Carps, the Czar appeared at tie Council of State. There, for more than half an hour, ho spoke on the present situation of affairs with an eloquence and precision of language which struck every one present. His warlike address to the officers of the Guard, who assembled to take the oaths of alle giance to him, was also much remarked ; and the depu tation of the nobility having presented themselves, in order t 3 render an account to his Majesty of the election of the Chiefs of the Militia, were harangued itnermtihneairtedturthus I solemnly turn with mu so cho n a ly rmth. This discourse declare that I will not give up a single inch of Russian territory t 3 our enemies.. I will take good care to prevent their penetrating further on the soil of our country-,and never, never —may my hand wither Brat! —will I affix my sgnature to a treaty which shall bring the. slightest dishonour on the national honour.' These words were spoken with a tone and energy of vehemence excited among all present the most rapturous applause. "In order to explain this enthusiasm, I must mention to you that in the saloons of the capital, and particu larly at Moscow, the centre of the old Russian party, the late Emperor was frequently reproached with Laving made too many concessions. You may judge by that fact if it be possible for his successor to grant any of the kind expected from him by the Western Powers. Amid the general movement of the public mind which carries them on more and more to a war 4 routrance—to a war which is declared to be holy threughout the whole empire, I must not conceal from you that a good deal of discontent begins to show itself. Whether right or wrong—and this fact time al.one can show to be just— the Slavonic patty accuses the new Sovereign of show ing tendencies by far too Geimanic. The old Musea. vites murmur at what they tulle the German invasion in the most important public offices of the State. They complain that the men who have the nearest access to the person of the Czar are of German extraction. For example, they see in the rank of his must intimate counsellors the two Counts Alderberg, father and son ; two other aides-de-camp, Pa koul and Mer der, who enjoy especial favour, derive their origin from the Baltic provinces ; the recall of Prince Menschikoff,a.nd the nomination of General 0 Aen-Sacken, Luders, Berg, and Peudiger are not of a kind to re assure the Russians of the old stock on the Germanic tendencies with which they reproach the Emperor Alex ander IL; and, finally, the p rsonages sent to the dif ferent Courts to notify his accession to the Crown are all of Teutonic origin, ae, for instance, Genet als Lieven, Gruneweld, Budberg, ard the son of Count Nesselrode. This predilection for the German party excites, I repeat, serious complaints. It is generally supposed in Europe that the Autocrat is absolute master fn his empire, but this is a great error. The Czar is much more subservient than people think to the exigencies of hii nobility, and he is obliged to allow them a large share in his govern ment. The great difficulty for him is to know how to distribute his favours so as to avoid giving dissatisfac tion either to the Slavonic party or the German party, between whom the struggle has never for a moment ceased since the time of Peter the Great. At the com mencement of each reign each of these rival ladies make desperate efforts to raise its influence above . tbe other, and they wage a mortal war , Th e Russians were in high favour under Catherine 11., but were ousted by the Germans undei Alexander 1., so much so that General Yermoloff is related t) have said one day to that Sove reign, when asked to demand some favour, Make me a German.' The Emperor Nicholas showed much ability in holding the balance, so as not to incline to one party or the other, and he kept both down with an iron hand. Will his successor succeed in doing the same? That is the question. It will be resolved before long, but in the mean time I think right to direct your attention to the fact, as it may exercise much influence on the energy and duration of the present conflict." TEE EMPEROR ALEXANDER AND THE DON COSSACKS. The Emperor has addressed the following rescript to the Cossack troops of the Don : "To our well-beloved and faithful army of Cossacks of the Don. The cruel loss which has just fallen on Russia in such an unlooked-for manner will be painfully felt by the grateful hearts of the Cossacks of the Don. In his constant kindness to them, my well-beloved father had granted them an organic regulation which completely secured their welfare. Only a short time ago the Em peror Nicholas I. declare.' that he loved his valiant children of the Don and that be was proud of them. In proof of these sentiments, his Majesty frequently ap peared before tho ranks of his faithful army in the uni form of a Cossack of the Don. Wishing to manifest to these troops our gratitude for their faithful and glorious services, we make them a pre:.-ent of the uniform which was worn by the Emperor. Let it be preserved among the insignia of the army of the Cassacks of the Don, and remain in its treasury as a sacred relic anal an impe rishable souvenir for generations to come. " ALEXANDER." His Majesty has likewist actires , iecl the following to General Khomoutoff, Hetnian locum Lucas of the Cossacks of the Don " General—By an order of the day I have named my well-beloved son, the Cesarovitch, Nicholas Alexandra vitch, Hetman of all the CJssack troop, and Chief of the Regiment of the Hetman of the Don, which takes the name of Cossacks of the Corps of the Hetman the Cosare ♦itch, Hereditary Grand Duke. May my brave Cossacks of the Don see in this norninationhow deaithey are to my heart. I love them, ai my father of imperishable memory did, and they will be equally beloved by my son. Per sonally, it will be always pleasing to me to reckon myself in the ranks of the regiment of Cossacks of the Corps of his Imperial Highness the Hetman, a regiment with which I had identified myself. I remain invari ably affectionate towards the brave troops of . the Dan. " ALEXANDER." Th• Emperor Of Russia has also addressed the following resoript to General Count ZLkrewsky, military governor of Moscow : "Count, in the profound affliction with which my heart is torn by the death of my august father of glori ous memory, I have charged my aide-de-camp, General Lansknoi, to hand to you the manifesto by which I an nounce to Russia the incalculable loss which has just fallen on us. Our original Capital, which was my birth place, will unite its tears and its prayers to mine. Con vinced of the unchangeable devotedness of all the inhabi tants of Moscow for my Imperial house, I beg you t o express to all of them my sincere friendship. ALEX4NDER." A letter from Vienna states that the widow of Don Spanish Carlos,w , h o o v i e s r n r m e s e i d n in g tt a aa t unodw depositedth Trieste, eb has of i n t e hh g ee u r e vs husbandt eaudltsthe f the Royal family. The letter adds that it is the inten tion of the Princess after a time to retura to Spain and visit the Royal family at Madrid. ME.
