My Lord,—The fire of both the French rid roi..dish amiss has been continued upon Sebastopol since I ad !reseed your lordship on 'he 14th instant, and though Aipt-rior to that of the enemy, it has not preduowl that ,ermatient effect which "might have been anticipated 'rum its constancy, power, and eccuracy. The grins of the Russians have been turned upon some , f our advanced works in vast numbers, and in one par in..tat,ce the injury sustained by a battery was so !mat that the unretnitt . n.; exertions of Captains Henry and Walcot, and the gallantry a...d determination of the trtillerymen under their orders alone enabled them to keep up their fire and to maintain themselves in it. In another battery yeater lay a shell bur-t close ',o the magaz no, whi c h i n eons( ( p en ce exploded, killing. lam much concern e d t o <ay, man, wounding two most severely, and seven in a less degree.

Lord Panmure has this day receiver! two despatches sn I their enclosnre4. of which the following' are coniea, aldressed to his lordship by Field-Mar-hal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, April 17. Afy have the honour to transmit for your !ordship's inforumition a later from the Inspector- General of Hosf.itals expressing his satisfaction in being able to report that the sanitary condition of the army nontiaue.; gra loally to improve and the 'mortality from disease to diminish.—l have, &c., RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &c. Enclosure. Before Sebastopol, April 17, 1855. My Lord,—lt is satisfactory to be able to say that the sanitary condition of the army continues gradually to irnpr,tve, and the mortality from disease to decrease. L a st week the ratio of admissions to strength was 3.95 per cent. ; this week it has been 3.52. Last week the ratio of deaths to strength was 0.35 ; this week it has been 0 33. This decrease may appear small to your lordship, but it must be borne in mind that 106 of the admissions, and 13 of the deaths, were the result of accidents in the trenches ; besides which three officers and 30 men were killed who have not been included in the above state ment of casualties. _ . _ _ _ Fever. and bowel complaints continue to be the pre vailing diseases amongst the troop., but in both there has been an evident decrease of admissions' as well as deaths. In the 79th Regiment, however, there has been an increase of 19 cases of fever during the week, and the mortality from the same disease has exceeded that of the preceding week by two. Last week the deaths from fever were 7, this week they have been 9. Itis in con templation to move the regiment a short d4stance from where it is at present encamped. as far, I nigh rstand, as the defenc,, of the post will aknit of, and I. think good will re-ult from it ; bit if it cou'd be movttd u to the ground where the 631 Regiment is stationt:d still greater etvant.atres might be expected. In the 931 11:glilan lers the fever cases -have become milder, and the m rtality from that cause has decreased from 4, which it wa , ...last week, to 1. In the 41st and 95th Regiments, the two other regi ments, which were suffering most from fey er, the intl.- tality has decreAs,d during the meek ; in the 41st from 5 to 2, and in the 95th from S to 3. There hay been a decrease in all the ordinary forms of bowel complaints, but I re;-et to have t I notice two fatal cases f cholera, one in the Artillery, t ind the other in the 7th Fusiliers. These ware both brought up from the trenches, and both died aqtr a few hours' illn, se. I`Vo other cases lave occurred, and. fr on the general diminution of bowel affs-ctli.ns, I trti4 they will prove accidental. The cavalry continue t, enjoy good health, and only one casualty, out of a force of 1180 men, has oc curred dining t'n. week. The mortality in the General Hosp; Lml, at Bala klava, has also been smsd, and the result of . the C mvalescent flospit 11, on the Catle fli I, has; been most .sati,fiet )ry. We have hut+ th .ere all ready for the reception of 280 patients, and I pnr pose reserving them for wounded men, at i I am of opinion they would recover sooner in such a locality than in either camp, or the , General Hospital a t Scutari.

We must therefore make the best of the informs.• tion we have, awl we are bound to say that , the aged Lieutenant-General has given his opinions to the Com• mittee with much frankness and straightforiardness. We cannot of en agree with his opinione,' and, are are sometimes surprised at the extent of his admissions, but it must be allowed thet he had a difficult part 'to play in defending himself and Lord Raglan, and conciliating that defence with candour and fairness. Let us take this remarks' lc series of admissions in order of time. The question is why nothing wrs done in the fine season towards making a road I The first answer is; that we hoped we should not be detained in the Crimea till the Lad weather came. "I was in hopes we ehould take the place at once, but directly I saw its strength I altered my op inion. " This was after the conclusion of the first day's fire. War is an art that should not be carried on upon hopes or conjectures ; the best general is he who trusts the least to fortcne, and the wont be who, in order to snatch an immediate advantage, places the safety or p:rdition of his army at the disposel.of causes over which he has no control. The hope of taking Sebastopol is no justification for not resorting to the means requisite for safety if we did not take it, any more than the expectation of winning a bet justifies a Man in risking a sum which if he lose he will be unable to pay. Surely, also, this hope would have been more justifiable if a little mote pain. had been taken to make its acc omp li shment probable by preventing the Russians from throwing up before our eyes those very earthworks .pfrrienneisethlyattitiiemsea,Snier principles Johno hn which have proved so irresistible a barrier to our e l: , d o r a ts: e d hoveeirer, on the 17th of October hope was at an t o i li n i u n e i il on forsi x comp l ete l y , tnr'e h s r o o w m ca t ' h u a e t i t t i l3 m ut e rlig: t ; o 'r' i liteh • at carry 'we r e , o e x dd r , ,: c p 'h : n ! the is siege on the same pr 'spectre of success as thostew a l n i t cl v i v w it e l - had - be Y . , fore the t, 17th of Octobe r ? Sur e l y , when Lord Rag lan saw th a the place could not be t a k en •i n the man ner proposed, it was time to adopt some decisive resolution in order to meet the altered state of our hopes and cir cumstances ? To carry on operations a ft er ac4ft,uerieweofhao4dngiiivneens up all hope of taking the pla ce before the wi n t er , an d alter, indeed, we had good reas on to entert a i n very watill'lt hope of y i l a de ki b n y g a i n t y a e t 'f al the principles which ordi narily guide human action. Vas it resoh cd to continue the siege f Such a resolution necessarily involved the reteihing our then position during the winter, and re quired a+ an obvious conwevence the immediate forma tion of a road for the purpose of transpertine supplies and ammunition. Yet it mai not till atter November 8 that Sir John Burg , yee heard that we were to Winter in the Crimea ;. indeed, the re,:olittion was net adopted till that day. Ye t w here else were we to winter ? We were going on a ith a siege, tile success of which we knew to be hop, less, and yet neglecting all precaution just as much a- if we expected it to tenni' at e in a few days. Ni. road was made before th e I 7th of October hecaue we expected to take the place—no read was made before the Bth of November because, though we knew we could not take it., our General had nut made up his mind to a c t up on hi s k now l e d ge , an d still found consolationiii behaving as if his hopes were not sure to be disappointed. But, at least, - after the Bth of No vember there could be no doubt. Ou that day it was formally decided that the ermy should winter before the town ; indeed, Sir John Burgoyne • thinks there was no alternatike. Why, then, were not the troops immediately set to cons'ruct the road ? Because they were wanted in the trenches, and because we had, for some reason nct esplained, undertaken more work ti , an we were able to get through. But what were the trenches for? To besiege a town of the capture of which within any reasonable time we ha-1 given up all hopes. So that, on Sir John Burgoyne's own showing, we w, re losing our communication with our only base of operations—the sea, and incurring the risk of starvation for our army, in order to carry on siege operations from which we bad no present hope of success agaimt improved works, and by reopening a cannonade which had already failed. Surely the work in tha trenches is no excuse for not making the road unless the trenches were necessary, and the trenches could not have been necessary unless there was some prospect of success. Thus, then, after delusive hope and culpable remissness had done their wort, our men were prevented from making a road ne cessary for their very existence by labour in the trenches, which those who imposed it expected and believed must end in nothing! But, if this were so, why not withdraw our army to Balaklava, where they would have been close to their supplies, awl might have waited in comfort and security till the spring 1 Or, if bolder councils pre vailed, why did we not then take the field, and seek by operations against the Russian protecting force to shorten the supplies and disperse the forces that protected th e Own 1 It is, unhappily, only too evident that our gal lant army has been sacrificed, first to an oierweening and unrea'onable confidence, and then to that want of promptitude and decision which makes men the slaves of an idea which they have once taken up, and forces them to adhere to it after all the circumstances which induced them to entertain it have been altered or reversed. It was thus that the Athenians adhered to the siege of Syracuse long • after they themselves had given up all hope of taking the plare, merely from ina bility tai rhake off the torpor of di...appointment, and to rouse them. elves to the comprelp•iision of the peril.. of their new position.

Our generale deliberately shut their eyes to impending ruin, and ..Len it hell upon them they wore unable to devise any expedient to I.rrest its course . Even if they were deternaintd, fear some inscrutable rea son, to wear out the whole army in the trenches by undertaking snore work than they were able to perform, and sere therefore unable to spare a man for the labour so piainly necooary for its preservation, still they might have taken some steps to palliate the evil. A steamer despatched to England on the 18th of October might have returned in .. little more than a m ii.th, bringing with her a number of experienced workmen, capable of saving the intli from all labour except that of the trenches, and of making in a few days a read sufficient for the tiancpoit of provtiait ns and ammunition. This is now admived, but at the time we were told it was not thought of ; indeed, its very mention elicits a faint flicker of the old to ilitary spirit in the remark how in convenient it would love been to mix up civilians in military matters. Or, lastly, Seba topol is only two days' sail from Constantinople, s here any number of strong Armeuians might Lave been procured to assist the labours of the soldiers—a race in every respect dd . - ferent, and, as far as regards the capacity of labour, superior to the Turks. Thus have we lost half our gal lant army—first, because our general could not ; next, because he would not, recognise our true position. It is a melancholy retrospect, but still snore melancholy the prospect, that to the same hands our Government and our Legislature still commit the fortune of our army, anal no inconsiderable portion of the honour of the nation. THE FORTIFICATIONS OF SEBASTOFOL. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—ln his examination yesterday by the committee for inquiring into the state of the army before Sebastopol, h ' Sir John Burgoyne broadly stated that theltussian works before that place were not constructed according to my system of fortification. As this statement was made under an evident misconception —which is, I dare s-ay, shared I y many others—of what I did propose, perhaps you will allow me to state as briefly as I can in what my spite n really col aids. My first proposal was to do away entirely with all_ bastions, ravelins, and all that complicated syseinerfivoe: f outworks, which are nut only so enormously e but have always hitherto /moved to be only traps to the ad sure the defeat of the besieged, and, accotrh.ciinreg reduction of mission of engineers themselves, render alto within 21 or every fortified place a matter of certal to in -31rw0,1001 : oenk a l , y l tgi 1 s eol u , ienp a :ol s :;:c t , or i t, : hl e ti ces c ueg a ic,: s ui: e i 1 tipnn:fra.pythoi and a b tsotieje e nsxrd . ,it?eqiubi isu.,,r eietcilrb,dl;hoseot:wiw, substitute :anti ,hea n), the htfienoaunfel garrison i woo n l afo i rtu t t e hlh d de. 12/. per ton ; timeHe vxp,icii,.ol,eti.if:`,:ll:it,iiiituge,,,lal-et(clieleavt,' e:t)sashinel and that e la , at's neglected . r supply of guns.
