My Lord,:-;•The enemy commenced working upon the mainelon in front of the tower of Malakhoff in the night of Friday ; but the nature of the work, from the thickness of the atmosphere, could not be distinguished. Great progress, however, had been perceived on Sunday, and that night a strong working party of the British troops was occupied in commencing a parallel from the advanced point of our right attack, with a view to form a junction with the corresponding parallel to be made on their side by the French, who beg an it on the following evening; and much was done to forward the operation before day light this morning, and it is hoped that the object will be completed to-night. The weather is generally fine in the early part of the day, but towards evening heavy sea fogs come rolling in, and wholly obscure the - view of the place. The enemy have shown a battalion and some Cossacks on the heights above Balolidava and towards Kamara, pro bably with the view to interrupt the French and English wood-cutting parties, for the construction of gabions, in the immediate neighbourhood, but the allied detachments have not been obliged to discontinue their'work.

My Lord,—The progress of the parallel, which I reported to your lordship in my despatch of the 13th instant (No. 205), has not been as rapid as was anticipated, the ground .being extremely rocky, and the difficulty of procuring cover consequently excessive, and rendering it almost im possible to carry on the operation during the day. Both the English and the French have now, however, succeeded in establishing the communication between them. Her Majesty's troops have not been assailed ; but our Allies have been kept constantly in action, and they live succeeded in driving the enemy from the rifle pits, in which they had established themselves in their imme diate front. with distinguished gallantry and great perse verance. They, however, have sustained some loss, though not equal to that which they have inflicted upon their opponents. A steady fire has been maintained upon the mamelon in the occupation of the enemy, from the guns in our right attack; and the practice of both the navy and the artillery has been conspicuously good, 'and reflects the highest credit on those branches of her Majesty's service. Although no positive attack has been directed against our works, our approaches are carried so close to the enemy, that the casualties are greater than they have lately been, as your lordship will be concerned to remark in examining the returns I have the honour to enclose ; and it is my painful duty to announce to your lordship the death of Capt. Craigie, of the Royal Engineers, whose zeal and devotion to the service could not be sur passed, and who was killed on the 13th, after he had been relieved from the trenches, and was on his way to the Engineer Park, by a splinter from a shell, which burst C:080 to him.

The arrangements for the visit of- the Emperor of the French and the Empress Eugdnie to this country are now said to be complete, and on the leith of- April the Itnperial Court (if France is expected to arrive on a visit to her Majesty the Queen, either at Windsor Castle or in London. Engaged as the two nations of France and England now aro in an intimate alliauce, end in the Joint prosecution of an arduous campaign, no surprise can be felt that the same courtesy and confidence which have long been happily established between the Minis ters, the Generals, and the troops of these two great Powers should also mark the personal intercourse of their Sovereigus. Such an exchange of civilities is consistent with propriety, with the usage of modern times, and with good policy, fur the public will view with satisfac tion every incident which strengthens the ties on whicli our success in war and our security in peace so ma terially depend. But this visit to England is not the less an extraordinary occurrence in the life of an extraordinary man. - Just seven years will have elapsed since he who now wields with great vigour and ability the sceptre and the sword of France took his place among the special constables of St. James's, and mounted guard with the population of London to protect the pro perty and order of this metropolis. Soon afterwards he quitted this couniry with a Belgian passport, an tincer fa'n destiny, and a precarious subsistence. He returns to it under the most opposite circumstances—the Sove reign of a powerful nation allied on equal terms to the Queen of these realms—exercising a power at home and abroad which has not only subdued nll its rivals but an nihilated all resistance—accompanied by his Consort, a lady whose beauty and whose telents shed lustre on her private rank, but whom his will alone has placed on the' throne of 'the Empress Josephine—and received by the people of England as a man ._who has net only elle cossfully ma:At:red one of the paroxyisme of the French Revolution, lint who has established the closest unton between the two great empires of the West, and has drawn the sword, in conjunction with ourselves to de ferid the permanent interests of E"rope. In the eventful history of these times it has not. fallen to our lot to re cordea more striking contrast, or an event suggesting wore singular reflections. In taking this retrospective glance at the career of the Emperor Napoleon we have not forgotten, and it would ill become us to forget, the means by which he raised himself to absolute power, the overthrow of the liberties f the French people which followed the revolution of 1348, and the energy with which we felt called upon to raise our voice against acts so fatal to the cause of free government. The opinions we expressed at that time were, and still are, the opinions of men ardently at tacbed to the institutions of 'that free commonwealth in which we live, and hardly able to conceive the perma nence of a government founded on a totally opposite princip'e in such a country as France. But, whatever may be the value of those opinions, which time alone can definitively prove, the condition and demeanour of the French nation for the last three years have entirely deprived them of their direct application to that country. The Government established by the coup _cretat of 1851 has retained the support of that national majority to which it victoriously appealed to ratify its power ; and from that time to the present no serious attempt had been made to alter the existing settlement of the emdire. Under these circumstances it would be impertinent in foreign observers to discuss the character of a Government which is accepted by those whom it more particularly concerns. It would, moreover, be disingenuous not to admit that the use ma d e b y th e Em peror Napoleon of the absolute power now vested in his hands does him far greater honour than the means by which he obtained it. Ho assumed the reins of govern ment after a catastrophe which had for a season pros trated the social energy and almost exhausted the re sources of France. Yet, with marvellous rapidity, the credit, the prosperity, and the productive power of the empire revived, and the experience of upwards of three years has shown that this astonishing development .of wealth and activity is not due to fictitious or ephemeral causes, but to the real progress of the nation. Public works of surprising magnificencehave been not only begun but completed in all parts of France, and more especially in the capital. Reforms, salutary to trade, have been ac complished in the commercial system of the country. The French navy has been raised to an unprecedented degree of power. Loans of great magnitude have been subscribed with popular enthusiasm, and the financial operations of the great French companies have extended to the most remote parts of Europe. To these facts must be added the considerations more immediately affecting ourselves and the political interests of foreign nations, in as far as we and they are affected by the foreign policy of the Emperor of the French. When the Emperor Napoleon ascended the throne, and found himself in possession of an uncontrolled authority over the political and military resources of France, he had before him two courses of action. He might, had he been so inclined, have revived the foreign policy of the first Empire ; he might have repudiated the treaties of 1815, attempted to extend the territories of France to the Alps and the Rhine, sought to avenge the Battle of Waterloo on this country, broken up the existing state of Europe, and obtained, without much difficulty, the alliance of the late Emperor of Russia in the accomplishment of these nefarious designs ; for in the early part of 1851 there can be little doubt that Russia would have consented to purchase the alliance of France at any price, and the new empire might have been inaugurated by another Tilsit. On the other hand lay the alternative of an intimate alliance with Great Britain. Louis Napoleon well knew the conditions on which alone such an alliance could be formed and maintained. He was well aware that in connecting his policy with that of this country he gave a pledge for the observance of existing treaties, for the in dependence of Belgium, Switzerland, and Sardinia, for our own security, for the maintenance of the existing balance of power, and for his adherence to a disinte rested and pacific system of government. He knew also that the only sure ground of this alliance would be an absolute good faith and strict veracity in all the relations it might call into existence. Such being the option which lay before him, we say that it does honour to his judgment and to his character, and that it especially entitles him to the respect and gratitud e of tho people of this country, when it appears tlint he unhesitatingly and irrevocably chose the last of these two alterna tivel. It was not the course which appealed most directly to the old associations of Imperial Prance, to the ambition of the people, or the enthusiasm of the army ; but it was a course dictated by prudence, by wis dom, by good policy, and by the desire of peace ; and that decision undoubtedly saved this country, as well as France and the rest of Europe, from perils and evils iu comparison with which the events of the present war subside into insignificance. On the grounds of practical experience and of national interest we shall, in common with the whole people of this country, welcome the visit of the Emperor of the French to the Court of Eng land. It is a conspicuous mark of the strength and energy of that alliance in which the honour of our arms and the success of our common cause are so deeply en gaged. It is a fresh proof of the confidence and regard with which the Emperor Napoleon looks upon a country which he has known well under different clrcumstances and at other times. It sheltered him a fugitive from the fortress of Ham—it will receive him a guest from the splendour of the Tuileries. But in either capacity he knows that he is no stranger among us, and that no man ever sought and held fast to the friendship of this country in vain. MORE HUMBUG. (Prom, the Morning Post.) We believe we are correct in stating- that the third of the Four Points having come under the consideration of the Congress of Vienna, and the Plenipotentiaries having exchanged their ideas upon this important con dition, it has been found by them necessary to communi cate with their various Governments, and especially with St. Petersburg, in consequence of the inability of the Plenipotentiaries to reconcile their respective in structions. The Third Point, it. will be remembered, stipulates for the entrance of Turkey into the European family, and for the limitation of the preponderance of Rus sia in the Black Sea. This point, it is true was, with the others, accepted by that Power ; but now, when its object and scope come to be determined, it is not surprising that Russia should endeavour to in terpret them in a manner as little injurious to herself as useless to us—whilst we are determined to see them car ried out in material guarantees, such as the limitation of the naval forces of Russia in the Black Sea to a squad ron of a strength merely necessary for the purposes of police, and quite inadequate for aggression. In matters of such importance as these it was not to he expected that plenipotentiaries would be authorised to give a final answer. But, as the case now stands, M. Titoff and Prince Gortschakoff will have put their Imperial Master in possession of the requirements of the Allies on this point, and will, no doubt, in the course of some days receive his instructions. Whilst waiting for these, the Congress will, pro bably, continue to meet, and, we may suppose, will pursue the study of the First and Second Points, which have not been accepted, as it has been erroneously stated, but merely acknowledged as to their general bearing. They have yet to be canvassed in all their diffi cult details, and this, if ever it be come to, will be a work of many weeks. We must caution the public, then, against the stories of the many erroneous telegraphs and letters which have' obtained currency, state meets and against the premature te ments which may be made, either peaceful or warlike, an during the short interval which must ellipse ere answer is received from St. Petersburg. We wish we could entertain the hope that the GC:lN:em inent of the youne• Czar will submit to the terms on which alone an honourable and safe peace can be obtained ; but we fear that, great as our efforts have been, it may need yet greater before we can be satisfied of the future tranquillity of Europe. - (Front the Morning Chronicle of this day.) The Btitish people are growing uneasy on the subject, of the attitude assumed by this country towards Russia, more especially in the Vienna negotiations. Rumours, which are unfortunately to well confirmei 137 proba. echo, darkly but steadily, long-existing appre hensions. A fear is gaining ground, to the effect that all cur boasting—all our dearly-bought alliances—all our sacriaces of money and men—are coming to a very igno minious result. It is felt, by a kind of instinct which seldom misleads ayvhole people, that we are on the eve of some shameful compromise—some hollow, inxde- quate, and patched-up peace. A great national question of this kind must be looked at without reference to party spirit. On domestic ques tions it is almost impossible to legislate or administrate, except through the action of party, not seldom even of faction. But when the interests of the nation in *the aggregate, and our reputation in the eyes of the world, are at stake, away with all preferences for Whig or .Tory, for this or that statesman, for one or the other section of the community. A considerable and clamor ous class at home cry out for peace, because they find that the war interferes with their trade and manufactures. "Perish the country," they cry, "but keep the mills going !" The influential persons in the City, whose busi ness it is to deal in money, or to traffic in the pubic fund., are also desirous of an immediate peace, becaese at the moment things are stagnant ; and those gentlemen seldom or never looked beyond the moment. An influ ential and well-iiiformed foreign writer tells the world that the British aristocracy generally are in favour of peace - because they fcresee that the war will be made an excuse for demanding important changes in the con stitution. This may or may not be an approximation to the truth. It certainly is justified as a surmise by the singular silence and - apathy of the Goverament, by the inexplicable- delays that have ocoprred in the Crimea, and by the ardour with which various chiefs of aristo cratic sections of the House of Commons coquet with the gentlemen who are generally regarded as the leaders of the democratic party in this country. Upon one point there can be no doubt,---thcre exists in the public mind a feeling of deli, blank disappointment. A free people, accustomed to the use of representative in stitutiowe and habituated to make their will obeyed by their ostensible ruler?, are not easily inducel to part with a power so cherished. It is very rarely that such a people call for a Dictator. If they do, it is because they believe themselves in peril, domestic or forei g n, and are content to waive their privil ege o f t a lki ng orde liberating, for the sake of securingunity of will and vigour of action. Cromwell was a dictator of this stamp. So was Chatham. So was the younger Pitt. Each has left a glo rious name to posterity, as asserter and defender of the na tional honour; and their praises as rulers are joined in by those who otherwise execrate their policy. The late Sir Robert Peel was also a dictator. What gained for him the respect even of hie political opponents ? His mor 11 courage, vigour, singleness of purpose, disregard of all considerations except the national honour and the public good. Once in power, Sir Robert Peel never swerved from his object, which was to preserve his country frow the horrors or the penalties of an internecine strife be tween classes ; to save alike the aristocracy and the people from the cohiequences of inflamed passions and antagonistic interests. He was indeed a ruler; nor would he permit any influence whatever—whether from above him, or beneath him, or around him—to divert him from the point towards which all his thoughts and purposes ever were steadily turned. And what were his rewards ? A reputation. aggrandired-L-contrary• to the ordinary rule with Ministers—by continuance in office, %,nd the tears of a nation shed over his untimely death. At a season of fearful peril to the nation, once more a Dictator was called for. Our military reputation had fallen, by the combined influence of false economy and interference of civilians during a tong peace, with per severing misrepresentation by journalists at home. The public had become persuaded that the policy thereto. fore pursued had been too moderate and pacific, and that the time for its revision was come. With the unanimity which only prevails at such a crisis, all eyes were turned towards ono man—all voices called his name. By a specie's of acclamation he was voted to the supreme power, and entrusted with that best machine of Government, the public confidence. Nearly fifteen years have -elapsed since any British statesman was infested with power in the sense in which it has been entrusted to the present Prime Minister. even the case of Sir Robert Peel is scarcely in point, because he first came into power as the chief of a powerful party, and on the high tide of an almost un precedented reaction. Lord Palmerston was borne into office by the public hopes. No one asked of what mate rials he would form a Ministry. No one reflected whether he was a Whig or a Tory, or a man of aristocratic or of democratic sympathies. All was • done in a spirit of almost blind faith. There was reliance upon him as a man-of "vigour"—as one who, by some means or other, had been kept back, but who, if once at the helm, would speedily set things to rights. Above all, the public called for Lord Palmerston be cause he was believed to be, on principle, opposed to Russia, and desirous of carrying on the war with energy. A popular impression assumed that the whole of his later policy bad been addressed to the frustration of the de signs of that power, and that by some means or other he had been sacrificed in consequence. His being called by a rare unanimity to take the helm was intended as a new declaration of war against the Czar, as a manifesto by the nation that the priv i ations endured by our army in the Crimea, and the ostentafsious exaggerations thereof by some journalists, had not operated on us as a " heavy blow and a great discouragement." From a man so em powered and so supported much was naturally expected; and in proportion to the excited, perhaps the exaggerated, hopes of the nation, will be the disappointment and in dignation should he collapse. It is for this reason that the proceedings of her Ma jesty's Government, wrapped as they are in an unneces sary mystery, are watched with so deep an interest and so fretful an anxiety at the present time. Ugly'rumours are afloat. By some means or other, they have derived consistency and confirmation. Men talk of compromises, compared with which those made during the decline of the Roman Empire were honourable and glorious. We are slow to believe all that we hear on this subject. We do not conceive it possible that statesmen imbued with the old spirit of the aristocracy, and sustained by the spontaneous confidence of the country, can contemplate the kind of arrangement which common report ascribes to-them. Lord Palmerston, at the present moment, is not in the position of an ordinary minister. lie cannot fall back upoaa " party," and regulate to the influence of their " principles" his abnegations of individual will. He stands alone. He has been invested with a dictator ship in order that he may bring the whole force of the empire to bear upon the enemy: As to him would be accorded the glory of a succe-•r, so upon, his head would be visited the consequences of a compromise which might prove even worse than a failure. THE TIVERPOOL ELECTION. ( From the Morning Herald of this day.) The Conservatives have been soundly beater; at Liver 'poel, and, however we may regret it, it would be affec tation to express any surprise. That the Conservative party is by far the predominant one in Liverpool has been proved so abundantly a 4 to allow of no doubt. That party has carried every elec . tion for the last 20 years with a high hand. At the last general election the poll closed thus : Mr. Turner (C.) Mr. Forbes Mackenzie (C.) ...... . Mr. Cardwell (L.) Mr. Ewart (L.) Whereas yesterday the poll, for the first time for many years, gave the first place to a Liberal, closing thus : .. Mr. Ewart 5,690 Sir G. Bonham 4,221 The very numbers themselves indicate the reason of the change. Mr. Ewart has polled more than one thou rand fewer votes than Mr. Turner received in 1852. Why, then, is he returned ? Clearly because a mistake had been made, and the Conservatives had proposed a respectable man, but a bad candidate. Even this las 4 i expression we must qualify. A. man may be a bad candidate at one time, and a good one at another. Under the present circumstances, Sir George Bonham was not the man for Liverpool. The event has proved this. In 1852 a great question was presented to the people —Shall Lord Derby's Administration be supported ? The Conservatives of Liverpool, to fight this;battle, put forward one of their best merchants ; and with him they associated a supporter of Lord Derby's—Mr. Forbes Mackenzie. Thus they combined at once the town and trade of Liverpool and the Conservative Ministry. They went to the poll, and gained the victory by a majority of 1,350 votes over this same Mr. Ewart, who is now successful. The contest did not end here ; for in 1853 another battle was fought ; and now Mr. Horsfall, another Liverpool merchant, defeated Sir Erskine Perry by 1,361 votes. At the present moment the circumstances are diffe rent. Lord Derby is not in power ; nor is be making any effort to return to power. Political fends are and not much thought of ; and at such a momen t p e local considerations have a preferen ce. The Conserva tives committed the error of sending up to London for a candidate ; and the second and still greater error of accepting a gentleman al st unknown in Liverpool. They thus ga w v h e o w the a ir s opponent advant age which he did not fail to use on the hustings, in the following manner : "Far be it from him to disparage the character of his honourable opponent electors, whether a person who bad pponent;buthewouldput it to the a go od sen ie of th lived here all his life, who was identified with their in terest", who had had abommercial education, and whose whole prosperity depended on his property in Liverpool, would not make a better representative than his honour able opponent, whose name, he woul d ven t u re to say with ail possible resp ec t , h e positively did no t believe even fifty members o f this community bad beard of be fore his friend Mr. Bold had brought him down as a candidate for the vacant seat." The result was sinoularly like that of 1853, only re versing the parties : In 1853 the Whigs put up Sir E. Perry, an Indian judge, ani were opposed by Mr. Horefall, a Liverpool merchant. Mr. Ilersfa,ll polled 6,034 votes, Sir Erskine Perry only 4,673' In 1855 the Conservatives proposed Sir George Bon ham, en Indian Governor, and were opposed by INir. Ewart, a Liverpool merchant. Mr. Ewart polled 5,690 votes, and Sir George Bonham only 4,221. Sir George Doniaaril alight have been a good midi , I Evart.., Bonham had he been started ; as Mr. Forbes Mackenzie was in 1852, in company with a Liverpool merchant, and distincttyto support Lord Derby as Premier. But at the present moment there is no party contest going on ; and Sir George Bonham failed in rousing the Comer vatives of Liverpool to any active exertion. The soul and life of the Conservative party in Live'. pool has always been a religious and Protestant feeling. ' Had the Maynooth question been opened in Parliament' and had Sir G. Bonham expressed himself heartily up(a it, that wou'd have carried his e7e.ltior. But the Prof testants of Liverpool see no sign of motion in Parlia ment concerning Mayn o oth—th ey are not aware, pro bably, that Mr. Spooner is now seekingfor an open day for its introduction ; and Sir George Bonham's language on this quostion, we must be perrniAtd to saT, was no calculated to gain the confidence of the Protestants o Liverpool. He is reported to have said, — "I can only repeat what, I have said again and again, and, though I have been considerably abused, I will say it again. I think the question is only an election prac tice, after all. I say it because of the party I belong to—l will oppose a grant to Maynooth. (Great cheering and laughter.) I have been asked that over and over again ; and, therefore, I say what I have before said, and what I say I mean, and what I say I will do." The result of this coolness on the part of the Conserve• fives was signally fatal. They would not come to the poll. In 1852, at eleven o'clock, the poll stood thus : Turner (C.) E xart (L.) 3501 In 1855, at eleven o'clock, the poll stood thus : Bonham (C.) 1426 E wart (L.) 2554 It was not, therefore, the greater strength of the Liberals—it was the indifference of the Conservatives, that lost this election. Could Sir George Bonham have obtained the votes which carried Mr. Turner in 1852, or Mr. Horsfall in 1853, lie would have bean returned. He was not returned because he failed in obtaining that purport. The successful candidates at these three elec tions were— 1852. Mr. Turner 1853. Mr. Horsf0.1 l 1655. Mr. Ewart Finally, as a "general lesson, gathered from the result of this contest, we may offer this :—That, in these quiet timer, the mere name of a Conservative will not of itself insure success. At the general election, which, frorp the probable failure of the present Govern ment, may be expected before Midsummer, we must offer to the people, if we wish to carry them with us, some solid and enduring principles. Except some such course as this be taken, the elections will everywhere turn, as that at-Liverpool has just turned, upon mere local preferences or private partialities, and we shall . have a nosy Ho u s e o f Commons o f w hi c h it w ill be ins- • possible, beforehand, to predict anything. Such a result, in the present circumstances of the empire, would surely he one of the greatest calamities which can be imagined. Let those who have the power do their best to shield us from it.

The result of the polling yesterday has surprised botk parties ; and great blame is attached to the Conserva tives for the apathy they are said to have manifested in bringing up their voters from the commencement of the contest. gr. Ewart's supporters, on the contrary, showed a corresponding amount of energy, and were re warded for their exertions by the triumphant success of that gentleman over his opponent. At the close of the poll the numbers stood as follows : 5,690 4,221 Mr. Ewart has thus been returned by a majority of 1,469 votes. The Conservatives made a vigorous at tempt between the hours of 12 and 3 to retrieve the for. tunes of the day, but Mr. Ewart had obtained too large a number of votes to be materially affected. On its becoming known that Mr. Ewart bad gained the contest by so overwhelming a majority, a dense crowd proceeded to Clayton-square, where the Liberal candidates are accustomed to address the electors at the close of the poll. The assemblage, which was estimated at not less than 10,000 people, was composed princi pally of the respectable inhabitants of the town, and the decorum with which the proceedings were conducted afforded a striking contrast to demonstrations of -triumph on previous occat,ions. There was apparentl3 , not one inebriated person in tho vast concour.:e, a iact unpa ralleled in the election annals of this borough. Mr. J. C. EIVART briefly addressed the meeting amid enthu,iastic applause. The electors of Liverpool, he raid, had shown, by a majority of upwards , of 1,450 votes, that a certain clique in the town should no longer dictate to them in their choice of a vepreE:ontative. This eiecion was, indeed, the greatest triumph—not only to Liverpool, but to the United Kingdom, which could have been achieved. He remarked that his opinions on general as well as local subjects were very well. known. But a few years , before he had unsuccessfully contested the borough in connection with his friend Mr. Cardwell, (Mr. Cardwell's name was received with great applause) who, he was sure, would be very happy to hear the re sult of the election. "Gentlemen," continued Mr. Ewart, " I shall shortly take my seat in the House of Commons, and you may depend upon it no smiles of Ministers, no offers of place, shall have the efiect of in fluencing my conduct. I will do my duty to nay native town, and I will do my duty to my country also." Speeches having also been delivered by Mr. Robertson Gladstone and other prominent supporters of IVIr. Ewart, the assemblage separated with three cheers for "the Queen," three for " the Army and Navy," and three for " Mr. J. C. Ewart," and three for " Mr. Robertson Gladstone." Sir B. G. Bonham was not present. -:r Enclosure. Her Majesty's ship Leopard, off Kertch, March 8.

Sir,—l have the honour to report that, in obedience to your instructions, I left this anchorage at 5.30 this morn ing, for the purpose of examining the mouth of the Kuban Lake. I arrived off there at nine, and obshving a small force of Cossacks on the north spit, opened fire and dis persed them, then examined the lake in the whale-boat of this ship, bat observing nothing of consequence proceeded along the coast to the south-eastward. I had just previous'y taken peseession of a small vessel laden with charcoal and other goods, which I have brought in with me, with three prisoners on board. I enclose you her papers, &c., as they may be useful to his Excel lency, the Commander-in-Chief, and request your direc tions in reference to the prisoners. At I'so p.m. I arrived off the Martell° Tower, at Djimi teia, anchoring bow and stern at'a distance of 500 yards from the beach, and at 2 p.m. opened fire upon the fort, dispersing the few Cossacks that remained. It is now my pleasing duty to inform you that I have effectually destroyed the fort, barracks, and granaries (having set fire to the latter), spiked and lisabled the two guns, destroying the ammunition ; and all, I am happy to say, without any casualty on board the Viper. I beg to bring under your notice the conduct of Mr. James Roche, Second Master, who commanded the land ing parties ; and Mr. John It.

Captain George Gifford, H.M.S. Leopard, Senior Officer. Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, March 17. Sir,—l have the honour to enclose, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, a letter which has been addressed to me by Captain Giffard, stat ing that, while making a reconnaissance nirar Soujak-Kale, with her Majesty's ship Leopard under his command, and accompanied by her Majesty's ships Highflyer, Swallow, and Viper, and also by S.I.M. steam ship-of-war Fulton, he vas informed by the Cir cassians in the neighbourhood that the enemy had so reduced the strength of that fortress by the removal of men and guns to Anapa, that they were ready to attack it by land if he would do so by sea ; and that he, wishing to encourage the natives and to embarrass the Russians, had assented to the proposal, and moved the ships to within 1,000 yards of the south face of the fort, where he performed his part, but that on finding the Circassians did not perform theils he withdrew, after having driven all the garrison out of the place, with the exception of a few gunners in the earthern batteries, and having also dismounted several guns, and done considerable damage to the arsenal and public works, leaving the garrison about a mile from the place, surrounded by Circaaians, who were collecting rein forcements. The ships appear to have been well placed, and to have fired with great effect; and Captain Giffard expresses his thanks to Captain Le Bris, his able coadjutor on former occasions, as well as to C ap t a i n M oore, Commander CLau furd, and Lieutenant Armytage, and their respective officers and ships' companies, for their support. Of Captain Giffard himself, I may be permitted to ob serve that this is not the first time that his zeal and gal lantry have been conspicuous since he has been under my command.—l am, &c., (Signed) ED. LYONS, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in -Chief. To the Secretary of the Admiralty, London. REPORTING AN ATTACK UPON 801:WAIL Her Majesty's ship Leopard, Soujak Bay, • March 13, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, that front the in formation I had received from the Circassian;, at Ghelenjik and also from the observations of Monsieur Le Bris of his Imperial Majesty's steam-vessel Fulton , as well as my own, on the 6th instant, in Soujak Bay, I was le d to be lieve the Russians had sent many guns, stores , Ste. , a w a y froin that fort, and would probably leave if a force a r - pared off it. Wishing to have more certain information fcr you, on my return to your fing, I, on the evening of the 11th instant, when the Ilighflyer joined me, proceeded with the vessels named in the m ar gin (Leopard, llighflyer, Swallow, Viper, and Fulton, F r e nc h steamer), to Soujak Bay, where wo anchored on th e morn ing of the 12th ; but a fresh gale, with heavy swell, prevented ,our closing the bAtterien. I therefore threw some shells into the place; and the Circassians, who soon appearei in numbers, at the same time attacked the small fort at the head of the bay, opposite the town, drove out the garrison, and burnt it, at S a.m. This morning the Circassians informed me they bad a sufficient force, and would attack Soujak Kale by land if I would do so by sea, and wishing to encourage them and embarrass the enemy, I immediately face y a b n a c ( l i o l p o e n g o e c n i a fi r t e o b on e a i r t . on t P b r e o m e p t h a moved the squadron to withi n 1 , 000 yards of the south point b is nt tb e light b enemy wind and damp weather made the smoke hang over and conceal them from our fire, while oar masts above were conspi cuous to them. We soon drove all the inhabitants and troops out of the place, except those in the earthen batteries, but I was much disappointed to find that the Circassian did not ad vance to attack them when out of the town, as they had promised. I; therefore, moved out again, as, with our small force of men, it would have been too great a risk to land, the main body of the garrison being close at hand. The arsenal and public buildings are ,much injured, and several or the guns were silenced and dismounted. Our loss, lam happy to say, has been small; and some injury has been done to the masts and hulls of the ships. I was much pleased with the able way in which all the ships took up their assigned positions, and have to thank Xonsienr le Bris, of the Fulton, Captain Moore, Comman der Craufurd, and Lieutenant Armytage, commanding the Viper, for their able support, as well as all the officers and men. The Russian force, apparently 1,500 or 2,000 men, and the other inhabitants are now encamped about a mile north of the town, having left a few men in the batteries; they will havo great difficulty in communicating with Anapa, being surrounded by the Circassians (who were collecting reinforcements), and should they return to the town, a small naval force can at any time drive them out again.
