BADAJOZ AND SEBASTOPOL. According to the ordinary rules of siege operations the approaches would have been driven to the edge of the ditch surrounding the Malakhoff Tower, and the coun tersearp blown in before such an assault would be made, but the accounts which have just reached us do not lead us to suppose that these precautions had been employed. Indeed the extraordinary configuration of Sebastopol has compelled the Generals on more than one occasion to pursue a course entirely at variance with the pre scribed rules of the art of reducing regular fortifications. On more than one memorable occasion in his career in the Peninsula the Duke of Wellington not only em ployed similar means, but staked the fate of his army on their success, and especially on the third siege of Badaj , ,z, in 1812. Contrary to all calculation, the Picurna, an outbreak of the town somewhat resembling by its position the Mamelon or Kamtschatka Redoubt before Sebastopol, was forced without being battered, and Badajoz itself was carried by storm before the coun terscarp was blown in or the fire of the place silenced. No one who has ever read it can have forgotten the lan guage in which the historian of that great contest relates the most terrible action of the war. The ramparts, crowded with dark figures and glittering arms, just illuminated by the glare of flames from below ; the red columns of the British, deep and broad, coming on like streams of burning lava, ; the sudden arrival of the Light Division and the Fourth Division on the brink of the yawning chasm, into which they dashed with incredible fury, some to be smothered in the wet ditch beneath, some to be dashed by the shot against the strong palisade, some to be torn upon the jagged range of sword-blades fixed in ponderous beams which defended the top of the breach. For two hours did our men persevere with in domitable courage in the attempt to force their way through this scene of slaughter, and it was not until hun dreds of the boldest and bravest had perished that they were compelled to acknowledge that the breach of the Trinidad was impregnable. It was past midnight, and 2,000 men had already fallen, when the Duke of Wel lington ordered the remainder to retire and to re-form for a second assault. Even that order was executed with difficulty, and th e fate of Badajoz might have been un decided that night if other portions of the troops had not found means to scale the . Castle and to carry a bas tion, and enter the town at a different point. Out of the An to Portug uese army of 2.2,000 men no less than 5,000 fell a t the siege of Badajoz, and 3,750 at the assault alone. We trust that we shall not now have to lament as great a l oss , b u t we are dealing with far more nume rous armies and a place of infinitely greater extent. We refer to this example, not only because in some of its circumstances it will probably be found to present an . Redan, b u t in 1819 - a l so as a imperfect analogy with the attac k on the Malakhoff and the proof that th e Duke of Wel l at the pi n nacle of glory and at the head of an invincible ar m y, was s topped in on e p ortion of his attack upon Bad a j oz by causes not very dissimilar from those which the allied the same night by other itinkeaen.ssc: although in the p oops ' town was carried have encountered at Sebas topol,material difference in the The fate of the position of the_t aseTheere is, w h o ow a e rm ve i r e , ,; tb_is the ' ca . • turn of Badajoz campaignwithin a of 1812 turned upofnd for p both Soult and Marmont W eertain number . o with a u y" erior forces in the rear of the Britishre hangingbs superior forces on the contrary, the superiority army, At .

CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, June 9 My letter was scarcely despatched this morning when a white flag on the Round Tower and another on the left, announced that the Russians had a petition to make. It was a grave one to make in the middle of a fierce bombardment with events hanging in the balance, and success, perhaps, depending upon the passing inoeienta ; but made it was, and granted. From 1 o'clock until G in the evening no shot was fired on either side, while the dead bodies which strewed the hill between the Marnelen and the Round Tower, or remained in front (If the Quarries, were removed from the field of slaughter. Both of the French and of the Russians there were large numbers scattered over the ground of the chief conflict ; among the former a large proportion were swarthy indi g enes of Arab blood, or, as they are popularly termed by the French soldiers, Turco?, and to their contingent of the killed some were added from the very inside of the Malakhoff, showing how near the impromptu attack was delivering the place into our hands. Of the Russians there still lay upon the spot some 209 corpse 4, a suffi cient testimony to the severity of their losses in the struggle. Among the dead there was observed by one of our sergeants, also engaged in the task of seeking them, one partially in English and partially in Russian accoutrements. In the language which custom has stereotyped he pointed the attention of the Russian bury ing party to the body, - and said, "No Inglis," " Russ ;" "No Russ," " Inglis," was the reply ; but a further exa mination of the uniform strengthened the impression that it could be no other than a deserter from the 34th_who went over to the enemy some time back, and a man of that regiment coming by recognised the face and put the matter beyond a doubt. The man had received a less ig noble death than he deserved, one bullet had passed through his head and another through his body. The third bat tery on the Sapoune-hill was abandoned last night, and its guns either withdrawn or tumbled down the hill. If the general amusement and the satisfaction of curi osity were any argument for the interruption of war, it was at e least well provided. Apart from the military question, and the further one as to where the true hu manity lay, the interval afforded another opportunity, rapidly taken advantage of, of getting a nearer look at Sebastopol, and the Mamelon, as the most important of our late acquisitions, was the attractive spot, whither any one who had the time and chance hastened. The French working parties had broken ground on the ascent, and were connecting their lines, distant some 200 yards, with the fort by new parallels, and were also reversing the Russian trenches outside, facing towards our advanced works. The rugged, channelled, ' and shot-bruised outline of the fortress grow larger and more real as you wound up to it; but the inte rior, altogether unknown till that moment, excited a more vivid feeling, and alike outside and inside attested the fierceness of the struggle and the pluck of the assail ants. The surface of the ground within was cut into holes and pits—here like an old stone quarry, there iike a bit of Crimean vineyard - some of these were the effect of bursting shells with well-timed fuses, some the cun ning apparatus of the hardy and prolonged defence. The corpses which cumbered the earth and were in pro cess of removal gave out faint tokens of coming putre faction, fragments of bodies and marks of carnage were interspersed with ruined gabions and broken firelocks ; Russian guns, dismounted and dented with shotmarks, lay tumbled below their embrasures ; 59 or so were concealed beneath the ddbris, and some quantity of hidden powder was also rooted out of the subterra nean recesses which abounded in the rock. These nests, excavated in the inner faces of the intrenchments, were left warm by their previous occupants—food and implements of labour were found in them, and, among other things, a bit of fishing-net in course of construc tion. The nearer view alone revealed the stupendous character of the earthworks, and, if astonishment were not now a stale sentiment, the eye witnesses would have been simply astonished at the amount of labour lavished on them. The traverses appeared to be some 18 feet in height. An English lady—where will they not go ? where do they not go ?—was brought by her husband, an officer, to survey the place—perchance herself had decided his coming. On the further side the view into the harbour was straight and clear, and, from the furthest point to which access was allowed, it seemed as if a bowsbot would carry to the ships ensconced beneath the hill. The Round Tower looked, even to experienced eyes, less formidable from that proximity than it bad been judged from the distant points of view. How, in deed, coald it longer look impregnable when the Rus sians were bringing out of it 40 or 50 corpses of French soldiers who had won their way into its heart ? In the early put of the day there had been a popular impulse to believe that an end of the affair would be made to-night' by a combined, assault on the Malakhoff and the Redan. That both were within scope of capture was considered in camp as proved to demonstration.. But the news of the suspension of arms dissipated the hope, and when the divisions got their orders for the night it was no longer thought that aggression was likely, though defence might be. The enemy, with their wonted per severance, had been making very comfortable use of their time, and when the firing rcommenced, which it did instantly on the flags being lowed, a few minutes before six o'clock, it was plain that the Malakhoff and Redan had both received a reinforcement of guns. Six and 11 are the asserted, if not the ascertained numbers of remounted benches de feu—exactness in such a calcu lation is nut easy, for the Russians are laboriously artful in disguising the strength of their artillery, and frequently by moving guns from one em brasure to another make a single one play dummy for two or three ; but I am tolerably near the mark. From 6 until 9 o'clock the duel continued without special incidents ; then there came a sudden splash of musketry which lasted some few minutes, and died away as unexpectedly. The Russians had made a demonstration against the well•guarded Mamelon, which vfas easily snuffed ; though it might at first have been thought to have some connexion with a movement of the army outside. Simultaneously with the clatter of small arms, there burst out into relief against a black cloud passing over several flashes of fire from the Inkermann batteries. Fatigue parties, 12 to each waggon, were even then dragging shot and shell down to the trenches. So there were just enough symptoms of disquiet to make anything possible. The natural consequence was that nothing occurred. Another trifling musketry diversion took place about three in the morning, to relieve the mo notony of the great artillery, which kept up its savagery throughout the night-10 guns for one of the enemy's— but slacked a little towards morning. We had a great number of casualties during the night in our new position on the left, into which the Russians kept firing grape and canister from the batteries which protect the rear of the Redan. They also occupied the dismantled houses above the ravine, and leisurely took shots at our people from the windows. Not unnaturally, it is a subject of the bitterest anger and complaint among the soldiers that they have to stand still and be riddled, losing day by day a number which is swollen in a week to the di mensions of a battle roll of killed and wounded. Their spirits have been lately at the highest conceivable pitch; they believe reasonably, after what they have seen, that the whole place is at their mercy, and must be forgiven if in the error of their eagerness the subtleties of stra tegy, the etiquette of regular approaches, the ready courteey forthcoming on demand fail to compensate in their minds for the now enormous labour of the trenches and the harassing dangers of a petty peddling warfare. The new ground which they occupy is a strong position for defence, being divided partly by nature and partly by art into different bays or recesses, and having three enormous traverses ; we are now also making a covered way into it—in fact, a fourth parallel ; but it has the fault of being either too near or not near enough, and is exposed to inflictions of mitraille which it cannot pay back in kind. JUICE 10. A breezy day, but with signs of returning heat, and an occasional drift of shower. The French in immense numbers, are at work on the approaches to the Mamelon in the hope of speedily getting up some heavy metal. The Round Tower and the Iledan are juet giving now and then sullen assertion of unexhausted purpose, but with so little vigour that the shells which drop and bluster about their ears, throwing up the dry dust in co lumns, look almost like a useless persecution. Five Rus sian vessels-of-war are in full sight out in harbour, having betaken themselves outof the way of inconvenient missiles from the Marnelon. The white banner of St. Andrew flies from their wizen, and floats in honour of Sunday on Fort Constantine. The Twelve Apostles lies just ahead of the arsenal, with her broadside towards her new danger, but encounters another foe, for the " express train" is cutting up the water near her, awl apparently flashing the spray right over her. At midday the small steamer which does the chief traffic in harbour was ob ser% able in the Dockyard Creek getting up her steam, and surrounded by quite a flotilla of boats, which were most probably carrying wounded on board of her. The arsenal building, or soi-disant hospital, which stands on the western side,showed all torn and riddled with shot,its windows reduced to shapeless apertures, and its roof ragged and pierced from end to end, the whole being evi dently untenable. Between it and the shore, sheltered under an angle of the building, a group of Russians were gathered,and there was some slight bustle on the shore, where one or two men of authority were moving about with determined step. The steamer was presently full freighted, and moved off, towing the boats alongside, to return in the evening with provisions or munitions of war—a long string of men with carts and animals were toiling up the steep on the north side leading towards Inkerrnan. There might have been from 1,500 or 2,000 of them. In the sloping graveyard at the east end of the harbour, planted with innumerable crosses, small parties of twos and threes were wandering on no unexplained errand, For the last three weeks every day there have been large parties constantly engaged in the labour of interment — a fact which encourages the presumption of disease tell ing as much, or more, upon the enemies' strength as it has done latterly upon our own, especially in and near to Balaklava. Any way, the work in that kind is not likely soon to cease. There is little doubt, in spite of the obstinacy displayed, that the garrison are heartily sick of their commission. A Russian officer yesterday fell into conversation with one of our men, and, giving him his card, said, "I wish this was all over, and we were good friends again ; we are all tired enough, but our orders are to fight it out to the last." At the terming, tion, too, of the armi,tice, there .were some signs of insubordination among the men. who were in contiguity with ours. Steady firing has been going on all the af ternoon, but with abated force in the evening. At 9 o'clock there was a lull in the discharges, but they grew rapidznd energetic again at 11, about which time there was another little encounter between the French and Russian ontpnsts on the Tchernaya. A French qi vision, with artillery, passed over that way in the even ing,sand their telegraph above the Woronzow-road was very buiy during the afternoon. 12 o'CLocK. There is a'very sharp skirmish going on, quite in the old fashion, between the French a,nd Russians on the left, and a very pretty interchange of shells, which are in the air in showers. The enemy are., throwing car chmses to direct their grinners and grenades. From our batteries there is but little firing, one of the Lancaster guns making the principal figure, and astounding the ear of night with its resolute whistle, which sounds all the more wicked from the intervals in the utterance, and conveys the idea of accumulating power. The Himalaya came in to-day with a cargo of horses and 340 men for the Land Transport Corps, from England. The said corps has its strength now increased to 6;000 beasts of draught. JUNE 11. To-day things are very quiet before the town, for the sufficient reason that our ammunition is trot up in suffi cient quantity. Most of our artillery transport is gone down to Kamiesh to fetch up shells far our allies. We had yesterday .a little accident in that department, water interfering with the perquisites of fire,' A lighter coming up to the Ordnance-wharf at Bal a klava canted over, and deposited her cargo of somethine• like 1,000 shells in deep water. But for the diving bell on the spot they would have become a.perman,nt puzzle to the fishes, who would have taken, no doubt, quarters in them according to precedence. By the aid of the divers they are 'coming up again, and, having been rescued from drowning, will end, it is thought, by being shot.' One may almost say that the bombardment has ceased, and that " the state of siege" is restored once more. From morning to night there has-been nothing from our side beyond salute and reminder. It may well be hoped that the French batteries ion the Mamelon and Sapoune hill will hold their • own effectually, and put a termi nation to the struggle ; otherwise, to what end our dila tory and inconstant action ? The Russians have been sending shells up to the Sapoune-hill from the fort oppo site to it on the other side of the harbour ; and one of them, fall;ng among a group of Frenchmen at dinner, took them, as the ancients would have said, to sup with Pluto. The losses sustained in the Mamelon are heavy, and yesterday reached 200. Our official returns will alto make the 10th of June look a black day when they are published. The cholera has been prevalent, especially in and near Balaklava, and there is a good deal of the moderate form of it in camp, though the last few days has seen some abatement, both froni the cool winds which have refreshed. us and the excitement of late operations. Col. La Marmera, the brother of the Sardinian-General, has fallen a victim, and the Piedmontese army has suffered very generally. In harbour it has been found, as might be expected, that locality is the chief determining cause of its outbreak, and our artillery in the low ground out side' after losing a number of men on consecutive days, has been forced to change its ground. Sir John IW.INTeiII has had some threatening of the disorder, and, having now completed his task of investigation and counsel, re turns to England. I regret to'say, and it is a subject of very universal regret, that Dr. Anderson, who has for some months been in charge of the hospital in Bala klava, has been compelled to ask for a Board, and has been invalided home. The union of qualities which made a man at once valuable as a medical attendant and an administrator, is not so common but that it produced, when found, a very wide-spread regard. Dr. Anderson leaves the Crimea without any special marks of favour, but with the respect of equals as well as inferiors, and the grateful remembrance of many who have been under his care. This is no matter-of-course eulogy, but the sincere acknowledgment of unostentatious service. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. TURKISH CAM' BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JUNE 9. As you will have seen from my last letter, a truce was agreed upon to-day for the burial of those who fell on the evening of the 7th. In the suspension of hostili ties it is always understood that it will not be used for any other purposes, such as repairing the works or mount ing guns, &c., which would materially alter the status quo before' the truce. The Russians to-day looke on this truce for the burial of the dead as on any other kind of truce, which leaves each party free to employ it as nest it can ' • and while, on our side not one shovelful' of earth was added to the parapets and not an embrasure touched, they, as soon as the white flags were hoisted, displayed an ant like diligence in repairing their damaged works and in replacing their dismounted guns, so that when, after about six hours' time, the fire was renewed, the formerly silent embrasures of the Redan and the Malakhoff Tower gave, by a furious volley, an unmistakeable proof of this diligence. Our men in the batteries were, as you may imagine, furious at this breach of faith of the Russians, but of course never thought of imitating their example. As it might have been expected from precedents that the Rus sians would make good use of their time, the truce was, and is still, very much censured by the armies. But in reality it was an urgent necessity. The dead bodies were beginning to decompose very fast in the heat of the sun, so that in a day or two it would bare been nearly impossible to remain near the places which had been oc cupied on the evening of the 7th. This was chiefly the case as regards the Mamelon. Not only this latter, but likewise all the whole plateau behindit up to the Malakhoff Tower, was covered with dead, and it was only in going over the place and the ground around it that one could form an idea what a fierce struggle there had been there. As Eldon as the white flag was hoisted the tents poured forth their inmates, anxious to look at the battle-field and to contemplate a little closer the formidable Tower of Malakhoff, which may be called the south citadel of Sebastopol. It was quite a procession. Not only the large ravine between our right attack and the old five gun or Tower battery, but likewise the slopes on both sides of it, were covered with a motley craw—officers, soldiers, sailors, French, English, Sardinians, and Turks, navvies and merchant sailors, besides a number of trades men and idlers from Kamiesh and Balaklava. The most interesting road was, however, through the ravine. Through it the way leads to the ad vanced trenches, which were constructed by the French to approach that work ; through it they had as well as our own gallant fellows, marched cheering and singing to the attack ; and through it wero carried back those who had won it with the loss of their blood. It was the best guide to the Mamelon, for it contains the whole history of its taking ; there are the numberless trenches, the hard work of months ; there are the thou sands of shot and shell with which the enemy has in vain tried to arrest our approach to this vital part of his strong hold ; there are the alleys of graves which mark the pro gress of our dearly-bought success ; and there, lastly, you may see the grand preparations made to insure the success obtained, and to extend it. The entrance of the ravine was clear enough ; had it not been for an occasional soldier or idler moving up and down, one could scarcely have believed to what scene it led, it looked so solitary, with the steep cliffs on both sides of it At the first widening of it the scene, however, changed. Imperial Guards, Zouaves, Turks, Infantry, and Chaseeurs were encamped there, with their never failing vivandieres, who were with them, even on the day of the fight, to refresh the thirsty and nurse the wounded. The soldiers, although without tents, had adapted themselves to their position with that readiness which is admirable in our gallant Allies, and had made themselves as comfortable as it was possible under the circumstances. The popotte was boiling, and, until it was ready, every one tried, as lest it suited his covee• nience, to pass his time—some reposing in the shade of projecting rocks, others lounging away and chatting as if they were under their tents at some autumnal concentra tion of troops in La Belle France, instead of ferming the reserve for an arduous duty in the Mamelon. Near to this clearer spacs in the ravine the trenches begin. One must go through them in order to judge of the perseverance displayed in constructing them and fully to appreciate the difficulties which our gallant allies have successfully overcome. The whole of the ridge leading towards the plateau on which the Mamelon lies is covered only with a scanty layer of earth, just sufficient to pro duce grass enough to give it a green appearance. A few inches under the ground the stone begins. It is a soft white chalk stone, too hard to make a good cover, and too brittle to allow dispensing with gabions. Nearly every step had to be gained by laborious mining, and under the murderous fire of the enemy. The main trench follows the right-hand side of the ravine, and from it branch out to the right three parallel lines running across the whole breadth of the ridge leading down to the plateau on which the Mamelon, the Malakhoff Tower, and the two strand batteries are situated. The third and most advanced of these lines is constructed on the narrowest part of the ridge, just before it loses itself in the plateau. Whoever takes a good map of Sebastopol in his hands—for instance, that made after the. sur veys of Captain Spratt, R.N., of her Majesty's ship Spitfire—and looks at this ridge, may see to what fear ful fire these works, and particularly the third line, was exposed from the Tower of Malakhoff, the Mamelon, the eight gun Strand Battery, and even the batteries of Inkerman. Immediately in front of this third line Co ground, which up to there has been sloping down, beg,l.is to rise towards the Mamelon. On this rise were the Russian rifle-pits, situated about half way up to the Mamelon. They had, as usual, chosen an excellent place for them, the edge of a terrace-like level spot. From this point the hill rises abruptly to the foot of the fortification. It is far steeper than one would imagine by looking at it from a distance, and, although the distance to the top cannot be more than 200 yards, the pull is very hard. So much the more marvellous seemed that quick rush which brought, the other day, our gallant allies to the foot of the embrasures in less time than most of the visi tors today took to get up to it. The Russians had time enough to fortify the Ma melon, and I assure yon they did not lose it. From the simple parapet it had been in the beginning, it had by assiduous labour become a strong outwork of the Malakhoff Tower, Even amid its ruing —for it is the most complete wreck imaginable—everything shows the value they had set upon it, and the care they took to make the most of it by the fixing of the gabions, the strength of the embrasures, and the traverses. Thee latter had been taken advantage of .to form a cover for the troops not required ,as gunners or sentries, • bound over with fascines and earth, or rather stones ; they are made up into a kind of subterranean caves. But not all the care and trouble taken could save tlieni from de struction. I never saw a more complete state of wreck. The embrasures knocked into formless mounds, the tra verses overthrown, burying all under them, the guns di,:- mounted, with here a wheel, there a muzzle sticking nut of the heaps of stones' and earth—whoever wanted to know what English and French guns could do ought to have gone to the Mamelon to-day, and whoever wished to have an idea what the struggle was ought to. have counted the mass of dead bodies. • Already in the French trenches, chiefly at their de . - bouches, they were lying about in twos and threes, the higher you went up the more' numerous they became. Bven if you had not seen the fi;ht you would have guessed where the fiercest struggle took place, the end embrasure—namely, to the right behind the Mamelon on the slope which connects it with. the Mala,khoff Tower, and at the foot of the latter in the abattia, and very likely further in. 'When one looks at thejformidable defences of the Ma melon and the protection it had from all the Russian works to the right and left, • and thinks again of the feeble resistance after which it was taken the first time, we must come to the conclusion that the RusAians in it must have been taken by surprise.. Besides, the events after the first taking of it, the .sortie of the Russians from the Malakhoff Tower and the 8-gun battery, the violence of their attack which forced the French to re- tire fora moment, the resistance which they found the second time, and the tenacity with which the Russians defended every inch of ground, all led to the same con clusion. The account of the prisoners t tken at the Mamelon is to the same effect. I heard from a gentle man who speaks Russian, and who bad spoken with a cadet taken in the Mamelon at the first rush, that the latter says that they had not the slightest idea of an attack, and was dining quietly with the General, as well as the rest of the officers, when the French made their first rush, and he had scarcely time to swallow the last morsel before he was taken prisoner. But, notwithstanding the really praiseworthy resist ance of Russians to the second attack, the formid able batteries of the Malakb.off Tower, which are not more than 500 to 600 feet from the Mamelon, and the even more formidable 8-gun battery behind, there is no doubt in my mind that the French were actually in the first line of the fortificationa of the Malakhoff Tower. Not only is the general account of the French soldiers to that effect, but I saw with my own eyes numbers of dead French carried out by Russians from the abattis and the ditch, where they had very likely thrown them from the interior. The misfortune was that, as always in an as sault, all control was lost ovet- the excited soldiers, and they made an attack on the Malakhoff Tower just BB our own red-coats did on the Redan, "on their own hook," carried away by the frenzy of the moment, while it did not enter into the plans of the generals to do more than take the Mamelon and the Quarries. What would have been the result had theycalculated on this irresisti ble rush, and had taken advantage of it by sending large reserves to support it, is, of course, matter of opinion. As it is, many French soldiers assured me that . they spiked several of the guns of the first line of the Malakhoff works, and they pretend they could have spiked all of them had they been provided with nails, but before the gunners, who were provided with instruments, could came up they were obliged to leave the place. I don't know how it may have been about the Malakhoff Tower guns, but every one of the guns in the Mamelon 1120:1 the nails for spiking them attached ; but it is net surprising that they were over looked in the first heat. There were 26 guns founii in the Marnelon, but only very few in serviceable order. In.all, the French took 62, the rest in the Ouvrages Blanes, and 310 prisoners. The French have, with their usual energy, begun to turn to advantage their new acquisitions, to connect them with the works they had formerly possessed, and to turn their faces against those who constructed them. The Mamelon offers immense difficulties in this respect, it is so very strongly constructed ; but the chief diffi culty lies in the fire directed upon it from the ships, the 8-gun battery, and the towar of Malakhoff, and, until the work is entirely turned, they are exposed to heavy losses. Before, and even more after the truce, a hail of grape and shell was thrown all round it. I approached as far as I was permitted—that is, within 300 yards, and certainly the Malakhoff is a for midable work ; it is, for the south part, what the citadel is for the north ; and whatever skilful engineering and hard work could do for it has certainly been done there. It seems to command everything within gunshot, and once taken, the southeide of the town included, must be I ours. From the Mamelou I went over the ravine running up from Careening Creek, to the extreme right up to the ridge opposite to the Inkertnenn heights where the Ouvrages Blanes" are which the French took the other day. This ridge running down from the ' Victoria re doubt, the spot where the Russian guns were on the bloody day of Inkerman, gets narrower as it appraches Careening Creek on one Bide, and the head of the great harbour and of the embouchure of the Tchernaya on the other side. The batteries are situate at the extreme point of the ridge, over looking the harbour most completely, and are erected on a little elevation of the ground. When I went over them the dead bodies had not yet been buried. To judge from those lying there the struggle was not very fierce. The position there was a kind of forlorn hope, for there was no retreat, and most of the prisoners were taken. The French are hard at work to turn the work against the harbour and the Strand batteries on the other side of Careening-creek, both of which will he commanded by them. In consequence of this success of the French most of the vessels have moved out of their snug berths. These works can only be molested by the Inkerman batteries ; but, as they are nearly completed, the greatest danger will be soon over. While the French are work in.. the Turks have occupied the upper works, and form the covering parties. The Quarries, not less than the Mamelon, were an noyed by the shot and shell of the enemy yesterday as well as to-day. It requires the greatest heroism to keep those places, exposed, in a crowded spot, to a fire which you have no means of returning. In a battle, where there is a chance of hurting the enemy, where there is a corresponding excitement, bravery is easier, but here you have to await with coolness the next shot. Nearly the whole fight for the Quarries required this negative heroism, the hardest to practise, seeing man after man falling around one. The taking of the Quarries was an affair of an instant. The Russians did not await the coming of our own sol diers, and never thought of resistance. It was only after it that the fight began, more with an invisible than a tangible enemy, for the attacks of the Russians were soon enough repulsed, but the balls were to be met too. Juriz 10. The first bombardment last year proved already, after the first day's fire, that our fire on the whole was s.ape rior to that of the enemy ; the second, from one or other reason, was not quite so clear in proof ; but the third, I think, has established the fact clearly enough. From the first moment there could be no doubt. Even the enemy seemed to acknowledge it by the comparative slackness of his fire which followed tbefirst fury of it. But a better means of comparison is the comparative state of the batteries. In the Mamelon scarcely a gun was left whole ; in the 'other Russian works not only were the guns wholly silent, but the embrasures and the pa rapet were knocked fearfully about, while in our batte ries scarcely a gun has been dismounted. The loss in men has been much smaller than on former occasions. As far as I can ascertain not an officer was killed, only several slightly wounded. JUNE 11. This morning the bombardment had been much slower, but it is expected to begin as soon as the works on the ➢lamelon are finished. General Morris with sorneregiments of French cavalry has advanced to Baklax, and is encamped. There are strong cavalry divisions of the enemy there. JUNE 12. Nothing new, and scarcely ary firing. THE LIGHT SQUADRON IN THE SEA OF AZOFF. The following is a journal of the proceedings o: the first launch of her Majesty's steam©r Roya: Albert : "June 3, 2 a.m.—We roused up, steamers making a great noise with the steam escaping, all of us taking either a cup of tea or cocoa and a bite of biscuit, for one could not eat much at that early hour ; all hands eager for the fight, boats' crews calculating upon the sundry sheep they were likely to catch, the Kertch stock being nearly out. The boats being told off for towing by the following steamers :—Recrult, Minna, and Da nube, we repaired to them accordingly ; and at dawn of day, or 4 o'clock, we might be seen moving on slowly to wards Taganrog, accompanied by the Swallow, the Viper, the Beagle, the Snake, and four French steamers, with four; munches and thnie pinnaces in tow, keeping rather in the rear of us. " 7.30 a.m.—Anchored off Taganrog in 9 feet, and about 1,200 or 1,000 yards to the N.W. of a low point, over which evidently was a large Government store; a little distance off three schooners aground, and a small steamer which the recruit had chased on shore two nights previously, and obliged them to burn and desert. The town was exceedingly picturesque, situated upon an elevation of some 120 feet above the sea ; the buildings exceedingly large, of white stone, roofed with iron, two storeys high, and those exceedingly lofty. Several large churches were to be seen, with handsome domes, large trees and gardens intervening. The ladies came out in a variety of colours ; horsemen and droskies were to be seen going the pace, we, in the height of our imagina tion, taking the four-horse iroskies for flying artillery. Mounted Cossacks and k. is troops at present. The signal for boats to repair around the Recruit, or senior officer ; the force concentrated round the Recruit. An order of attack was issued to the launches ; also orders were given not to fire without direct orders from Com- `PRIG SD, wander- Coles. He. went round to ea , ..11 boat to see that we app ehend.ed our orders fully ; one En - glish and one French boat piffled in with a fix of truce, to demand that the • Governor should point out and deliver up the Qovern 3 lent property, ani if any force was in the neigh. bourho , r 1 it should retire some distance ; and;.p,iso, to say tha t if any signs of tre.;achery were shown the mag:.- at:ate v mid be shot. Stich is the report. An b A .tir having elapsed, the flags of truce rettirnea ; people . costly retired. The boats at this time were barg ing. on to the Recruit in their stations, ae o ,;- r di„ to senior? ;:-; rocket boats and .firing party ahead. At 9 e proceeded round the low point in line. A s , e advan: E,d several troops were seen falling in an the top of thei 01. They were very tempting, many wishing to have a shot. However, it was against orders, con sequel: tiv no one dared to fire. It was the general opinio a that they intended mischief and were going to opr .c.se our firing the stores obstinately. After roundi ing the point the Government stores were disco vered oo a low flat'some mile in length and 150 yards in hrendi two tiers, one behind and a little above tho ot b er, with officials' houses between, some 20 small crafts the north-east end, and immense quantity of spars, partially hauled up. When the rocket-boats got abreae t of the small craft the boats cast off their painters simult t neously ; put our helme aetarboard, and brought our gu t ,s to bear about 400'or 500 yards from the shore. Very 1e w men were to be seen. One or two inatance° of greet coolness were shown by the enemy. One was a sent; r walking hie post some quarter of an hour after onenin 8 • fire ; round and grape, spherical. case, and Minie 1 vere fired at him, without effect. He looked at us °CCP a clonally, as if he would ask what we meant by it, and I 7esnme, by his standing fire so long,, he did not leeee rtz ,til.orderad. . He . was the admlratiere of every • one. knother was a . man coolly t lichee of his clothe.; and bat hin'. however, ho was taken prisoner, I be lieve, I )5 , the firing party. A few minutes after our fire op e ned the firing party landed, commencing at 'the N.E. r is id with the small craft—gun-boats firing rockets, shells, .&c., confining the fire to the stores—and I think I may safely say without firing them, the party that landed. .only succeeding. The enemy commenced a fire, but vi y feeble, from the height above the stores, con cealed :in the gardens, in buildings, and behind wane. Some at Yell-directed spherical case, shell, and grape dis turbed, them, and several were seen to fall and limp away e it is very strange to say that in so large a town they *di' I not even get one gun to bear ,upon us. About 1. p.m..' one man in the Princess Royal launch received a a inus'e et ball in the jaw. "Tlee Snake, Beagle, and Viper, with a great deal of mance u erring, got within range. I have heard since that she b'srst one of her guns ; Curlew was out of range ; the R•ecruit about 700 yards, having shifted berth, and one Fre .nch steamer. Several'of the houses in the town were fi red with carcase rockets—l presume from the Danu'ae. Lady Nancy appeared to be of great service, and I ghoul(' say did her work uncommonly well. About 2 p.m. the fire slackened from the boats having no one hardly to fire at. The latter part of the day the Frenchmen landed in a strong party and chased the pigs area geese ; the Russians did not approve this, and opened. rather a sharp fire of musketry upon them, which ewe returned with !interest from the boats. The Frendirmen fired volleys of musketry, and idle men ashore were off in a twinkling. I observed our second launch, with a few others, was ofdered off about 1 p.m. All our people bebabed exceedingly well. They were under a broiling sun pulling their oarsareerly all the time, having a tide against us for some six or seven hours. Orders were given not to fire at the hospital or churches, and they were rigidly adhered to, until the enemy concealed themselves in a garden around the church and brought the fire upon it ; it looked after wards very much as if it had had the smallpox. At 330 p.m., the object of the expedition having been ob tained—namely, the destruction of Government pro perty. the boats hauled off to their respective ships ; bringi'eg out two ,Greek brigs that were at anchor, and arrived at our former anchorage about 7.30 p.m., rather tired, as one can easily imagine. We had a jolly good bathe, and dined at 8 p.m. on board the Danube, bad the fight over again, and wondered which was to be the next. I have not mentioned the Nonsuch, having lost sight of her. The Recruit gave some Cossacks a few parting shots. Strange work for Sunday, but war must be carried on with vigour. Troops having been seen by several of the boats assembled in the streets above, I am rather of opinion that they anticipated our landing and ascending the height, where they remained drawn up ready to oppose us in case we should have . _ landed. " 4 a.m.—Having expended our ammunition, thought it advisable to replenish from the Medina ; did so ac cordingly. " B.3o.—Squadron weighed in two lines, French on our left, shaping a course for Marioupol, the stores of that place being the next object in view to destroy. " 4.30 p.m.—Anchored off Marioupol about two miles and a half to the S.S.W. of the town, which appeared to he about one-third the size of Taganrog ; sent a return of men employed at Taganrog to Captain Lyons ; boats ordered to be in readiness for active service, • and to as semble round the Miranda at 5 a.m. " JuNE 5. " 5 a.m.—Launches, paddle-boats, and our amiable companion Lady Nancy assembled, according to orders, round the Miranda at 5 a.m. Shortly afterwards she and the squadron shifted berth to between 1,500 and 2,000 yards off the town, to convenient shelling distance, boats forming in much the same order as the day pre vious. A very useful addition was included in the expedition—viz., about 120 marine artillerymen, to act as a covering party to the fire brigade, under Lieut. Swinburne. A beat with a flag of truce bad been sent in previously, which, I believe. returned without a satis factory answer. Many lookers-on from the shore were to be seen, and a few mounted Cossacks, who, I under stand, met the flag of truce, and were on the point of firing upon it, until waved to from the heat. The inter preter, when ashore, explained to them the nature of the flag of truce, which they appeared to be ignorantoe, and begged pardon for p u tti ng th emse l ves in a menacing attitude. No satisfactory answer being given to the flag of truce, the boats formed line abreast, under the direc tions of Lieutenant M`Kenzie, of the Miranda, pulled in for the beach, and took up the relative positions assigned to them 200 or 300 yaris distant from the beach, upon the west side of a small river, running N.N.W. and S.S.E. along the line of storehouses for some 500 yards, and then branching off to the east and west. On the west side, for 500 yards adjacent to the stores, was a well-built bank of stone, similar to the bank at Chatham, for confining the river and preserving the depth of the water, which was about five feet, upon which was a good macadamised road leading into the centre of the town ; hero there were a few sentry-boxes, and large stores of corn and various other goods in well-huilt brick buildings, some 120 feet in length, the walls of which were some 14 feet high. The fire-brigade and marine-artillery men landed upon the south extre mity of this road, under cover of the boats' guns, the St. Jean d'Acre's boats, and one or two others, having shifted berth up the river, taking up a commanding posi tion in the fork of the river, and covering the* party, if necessary, in their advance up the main road. After the boats bad taken up their p os iti ons, ma ki ng a very for midable appearance, a m an on h orse b ack was observed galloping down with what was supposed to he a chemise to the southward point of the river, near a flagstaff, where several people of all grades had assembled. inno cent spectators ; our flag of truce met him, and I have been informed since that the gentleman on horseback in formed them that there were no Government stores, but that it was all private property ; the magistrate was not forthcoming ; and th a t h e was a d eputy for the towns people in general, and that they desired him say 600 Cossacks were in the neighbourhood, and they had re tired, hoping we would spare the town, since, whatever we thought proper to do, they would trust to our tender mercies. lie and his townsmen were recommended to retire, which they did, very wisely ; a few shots were fired, more for a moral effect than anything else. Sbortly afterwards the fire brigade and marine artillerymen landed, and then the scene of destruction commenced ; some of the houses filled with fine wheat were rather difficult to open, but, somehow or other, in cases of emergency Jack overcomes all difficulties, and nothing stands is his way when his mind is bent upon one ob ject—especially that of destruction. The blue-jackets chiefly fired the stores near the river ; ar d a paty, accom panied by the marine artillerymen, marched to the town, some half-mile distant, fired suspicious - looking build ings and stores, sparing what they took to be private property, without any resistance. Many people had deserted their houses, and some of the scoundrels be longing to the town were observed in a state of intoxi cation, appropriating to themselves the property of others. Some shook their fists at our people —a harm less amusement. People and horsemen could be seen upon the summit of the hills looking at the scene of de struction. " 1.30 p.m.—Party embarked returned to our respec tive ships without any casualty. " 4.15 p.m.—Weighed, with a strong breeze from the S.W., steering for Gheisk Spit. " 9.10 p.m.—Anchored in four fathoms. " June s.—At daylight observed the land to the southward, about 18 miles. Squadron weighed and stood towards Eisk. 7 a.m., squadron came to an anchor as convenient for shelling and covering the land ing, should it he disputed. Miranda anchored one and a half miles off the town of Eisk. Lieutenant Horton went ashore with a flag of truce, accompanied by one of the French boats with a similar flag. Ahout 10 a.m. the flag of truce returned, with intelligence that the Governor had surrendered the town and Government pro perty according to terms, they not having any artillery, but only a few troops to oppose us ; but it was the wish of the Governor that the boats should pull in close to the shore and form order of battle in line abreast, making an imposing appearance, so as to justify him in his conduct, which we did. " 12.10 p.m.—Boats take up their position line abreast, anchoring by the stern, offalow spit, upon which ica3 part of the town, about 300 or 400 yards off. The marines and firing party landed, and were received by the Governor and colonel, providing the officers with mounts. One party proceeded to the westward, and fired some mile and a half of stacks, consisting of hay, rye, and straw, in places 0 and 8 deep ; others to the town to fire a quantity of grain that the Governor had taken out of the stores to prevent the town being burnt, which they were in great fear of. The Governor repented n ch the-hay over the cliff in lieu of gettin "ff'r 'e' '-, to it—a mod es t reques t ra th er , t o pit c h a m il e a lla- half of stacks over : it would have taken our ` - iiiy about two months.

Compliments passed—such as they hoped they would meet each other under more favourable auspices in lien of such painful circumstances. The'Governor and inhabitants were thankful for our leniency in sparing the town. About this time one dozen champagno came down .very apropos in a .thosky, which seeniiokly our friend__ the Gover n or- had _Ordered„-ane• which lie insisted upon our opening and drinking each othcr'sjiealths.
