allies have completed the Zeoefigry preparations for

attacking the liamtschatka or Atamelon redoubt. In
the mean time new batteries are being made in ad-

viuiced positions, and armed with rum of very heavy
calibre. Some of these new work. have been observe(
by the enemy, who have endeavoured, by the frequent
discharge of shells of large size, to interrupt their pro•

grese. They have, however, proceeded most sattafac-
torily. The effect, when completed, will be very
materially to change the whole face and bearing of
the works on both attacks ;and a greater weight of

metal will be found in what were the advaneed

works than the weight which was origiaally laid in
the batteries of the first paralleL
The Rubsians have been busily occupied in deepen-
ing and adding to the connexions established between

their advanced rifle pit on our right attack and the.
Redan. A trench oleo haa been made to form &comma-

nioation between the rifle pit and the quarry. The pit

pit at the end of our zigzag, to the left of the advanced,
work ; and if a line were drawn from this to the
trench proceeding from our right rifle pit, it would
nearly touch the enemy's work at mid-distance. Be-
. . . . .

hind the pit is a complete network of trencher, mainly
. .. .

leading back to theßedan, and from the second line

or the zigzag a trench proceeds up to the quarry.
The work in the quarry has now also a direct covered
way, communicating with the Redan.
The French are actively pursuing their sap toward
the Russian redoubts on the east of Careening Bsy.
A constant fire is directed against the French works.

They are also sapping up toward the Mamelon, and
some collision moat shortly take place in that direc-
tion.

1 here is a rumour—but on what foundation I know

not—that the late expedition, which was so unex-
pectedly recalled, will shortly make a fresh start. It
can hardly proceed under such favourable auspices
as the former, now that the enemy have had ocular

demonstration of our plans and intentions. It is
indeed .o he regretted that the interruption occurred
to that undertaking: so many circumstances combined
to ensure success.

The Russians made another attack in consider-
able force in the night between the 9th and 10th
instant against the new advanced works on our right
attack (Frenchman's-hill). They were gallantly
repulsed, and must have suffered great loss, whilst
our list of casualties was comparatively small, viz.,
one man killed, and one officer and thirteen men
wounded. Nearly every regiment of the Light Di-
vision had parties in the trenches, but the brunt of
the fighting tell more particularly on the men of the
88th and 34th Regiments, who were in the right
boyau and rifle pit, and others of the ith and 90th
Regiments, who were in our left zigzag approach,
and the Russian rifle-pit which some time since was
taken and connected with it. The attack commenced
soon after twelve p.m. at the right boyau and centre
rifle pit. Few stars were visible on account of black
heavy masses of clouds which were passing over-
head, and the night was dark. The air was close,
and a few drops of rain fell occasionally. Notwith-
standing the darkness, some of the enemy's skir-
mishers, who had been sent forward to feel the way,
were perceived ; and our men were quickly ready
to receive them. A short time elapsed when orders
were given to fire, and a volley was sent from the
trenches. The enemy essayed to come forward, but
another volley quickly succeeding the first kept
them from the trench. Volley after volley was then
fired from the boyau, from the centre rifle pit and
the trench which has been extended from
it to the left, and from part of the old
advanced work itself. The fire of the Russians was
scattered and irregular; they had evidently met with
a reception for which they were not prepared. The
flashes of our lines of musketry sufficiently illumined
the foreground to show a dense column of tho enemy
at some little distance in rear of the troops who
had advanced to attack the trenches. The fire had
been kept up for about fifteen minutes, the enemy,
held at bay, had not been able to come nearer than
twenty or thirty yards from the works, when a lull
took place, and on the impulse of the moment a shout
was set up by some of our men which was taken up
along the whole line, and made itself beard all over
the camp in front. The Connaught Rangers had the
credit of cdmmencing this cheer. Even the Musco-
vites seemed surprised, and either expecting a sally
on our part, or in consequence of finding the under-
taking hopeless, hastily retired.
loon after the attack against the right of the
Frenchman's-hill works commenced, a sortie was
made by other troops agairist the left of the same
line, and also against the right of the new works on
the Greenhill attack. On the left of the line there
was the same alertness among the men of the ith and
90th Regiments as on the right, and the enemy were
as quickly repulsed. On neither side were the Rus-
sians ever able to come close to, much less to enter
the rifle pits or trenches.
On the right of the Greenhill attack a large
working party was engaged in connecting the rifle
pits which had been established on the brow of the
hill overhanging the valley of the left ravine, as it
turns round toward the south harbour. Between us
and the enemy in this position the ground is open,
and formed by the slope of Greenhill itself, the
ravine below with the Woronzoff road, and the op-
posite slope ascending toward the Russian quarry
and Redan hill works. The enemy are compelled,
therefore, to form for attack in an exposed position a
short way from the ground occupied by our works.
On the Frenchman's-hill attack the enemy have the
power of forming behind the trenches which have
lately been made to connect their advanced rifle pits
with the Redao, and can therefore in a great measure
conceal their movements. Not so on the left attack,
and here they were detected by some of our sentries
who had been thrown out in front, and who gave
notice that the Russians were about to advance on
the work. Their observation being verified, the,
working parties were called in, the tools placed.
la security, and the troops formed in line. The
snowy came as was expected, but finding the pre-
paeabons against them so complete, and the advan-
tage of ground being wholly in our possession, they
soon abandoned the contest.
The several divisions near the works attacked were
turned out, and got under arms, as the heavy fire of
the musketry, and the discharge from the mar my's
batteries, announced a very determined sortie.. The
French, also, sent some troops forward. Tb ey ad-
vanced some distance toward their lines, keeying up
a roll of drums and sounding their trumpeei to an-
nounce, perhaps, the approach of reinforces ruts. As
soon as the attack began, the enemy sent a vast num-
ber of shells against our batteries, and in the direc-
tions along which they might suppose the supports
would be advancing, but they did very little injury.
Our batteries scarcely replied, but seine shells were
nut among the Russian troops who were engaged in
the sortie.

It is a matter of surprise 'eine more grew. or
Carcases are not used in frfAt of the trenches on dark
nights. In ease of atr:n an attack as the above
mentioned, they would be very useful, cow only to
stow the force and disposition of the omeny, but
also to give oar own troops a knowledge of the
proper direction for their firs. Out of the small
number wounded on this night of the 9th instant,
so lees than three men, it is stated, were wounded by
their own comrades. One man of the 7th Fusiliers
in the left sig-sag was shot by an English hiinie
tall, sad was, moreover, feud to have the merle-
'plug of the rifle embedded in the wound. _ Some
for-
soldier in the first woitsmut of the attack had for-
gotten to remove the stopper of the musket, and had
ficastionsly fired in the direction of the advanced
rifle pit, in which were a party of men of the 7th
Fusiliers. Such accidents would probably be pre-
vented by the discharge of two or three fireballs at
the beginning of the affair, or when an approach of
the enemy was suspected. We have throughout the
siege been very sparing in the use of these missiles,
but they are more than ever required now that the
towhee are so advanced, and that sorties may be ex-
pected to be of frequent oceurrenoe.
On the evening of the 10th instant, about 10 p.m.,
the enemy made a slight sortie again, apparently to
reconnoitre and ascertain if our men were as much on
the alert as they had been on the previous
sight. Several volleys were fired from the
advanced woks, and no attack followed. Bet the
Russians kept up a very constant fusillade the whole
sight from the advanced rift pit and touches. with-
out, however, producing any effect against oar men:
what casualties there were occurred from shells.
One of these, either a 10 inch or 13 inch shell, fell
among a group of soldiers of the 88th regiment, and
at its explosion killed two, and wounded five others.
The Russia's have thrown a vast number of shells
during the last three or four days spinet our works
and those of the French. This forms such a outran
with their sparing use of them for two or three weeks
previously, that it can only be accounted for by
oapposing that they have received fresh supplies of
them in considerable numbers. There is also ressoe
to suppose that many more mortars have reached
them, for a large proportion of the bombs thrown
sow are of heavier weight than they seed to be.
Convoys are seen coutantly arriving on the north
aide, and the passage of steamers and lighters pro-
ceeds without interruption day and night from the
north to the south side of the Great Harbour. A fowl
days since a large body of troops
.were seen marching
toward an encampment which is Just above the north
shore of the roadstead, below the Star Fort, and the
sound of their drums and bands was plainly audible
at intervals on the higher points of our own position.
An unfortunate accident occurred to a man of the
9th Regiment on the morning following the sortie of
* the 9th inst. He was moving along the brow of the
' Greenhill attack, intending to go to an advanced party
• ,e/ sharpshooters near the ravine, but missed his way
mad got into the open ground, without for some time
discovering his mistake. He was observed from cer-
tain parts of the right attack, and it was there sus-
pected that he was a deserter. The Russian
riflemen who also perceived him, appear to
have adopted the same idea, for they per-
mitted him to advance without interruption.
Soddenly the man observed that some of the troops
on Frenchman's-hill were watching him closely, and
his attention once roused by this circumstance, he
looked around anxiously to discover his position.
His mistake was soon ascertained, and he turned in
haste to rectify it. But he had uo sooner begun to
retrace his steps, thus one of the Ronan riflemen
fired, and the ball with fatal accuracy brought him
to the ground. He was seen writhing with pain, and
yet still endeavouring to get away, although mani-
festly unable to accomplish his purpose. This peril-
ous position of the poor fellow induced four men on
the right attack to volunteer to try and bring him in,
and taking advantage of any little cover the ground
would afford, they proceeded to make the attempt.
But they had hardly reached half the distance when
the Russians perceived the movement, and fired at
them also. One of the four men received a ball in
the leg, and the other three were compelled to seek
shelter in a small cave or hole in the aide of the
hollow. Here they remained till the flag of truce
about half-pest 12 o'clock, enabled them to return to
Frenchman's-hill without risk. The soldier whom
they had started to amid was then quite dead.
The 3rd Buffs and 71st Highlanders are now en-
camped on some ground in rear of the Second and
Fourth Divisions. They are to be formed for the pre-
sent into a separate brigade, under the command of
Colonel C. Van Straubenzee, of the 3rd Regiment.
They will take their tour of duty in equal division
between the left and right attacks. The 12th Lancers
have also landed, and joined the Light Cavalry Bri-
gade. It has been a matter of surprise that this
Tegument, as well as the 10th Hussars, are to be
reduced in numbers to the home establishment. They
have arrived, in respect both to men and horses, of
the full strength, us on the Indian establishment;
and, considering the previous week state of that
branch of the army to which they belong, their
arrival in such an effective condition was welcomed as
a most seasonable reinforcement. To reduce them
sow, while the other cavalry regiments remain so
diminished in numbers, would appear to be a very
impracticable proceeding, and scarcely. credible, bolt
is positively asserted that it is the intention to ate
complish this purpose at ones. Those men who choose
are to volunteer for service in other regiments : such
men as do not wish to serve elsewhere are to be sent
home. Captain Gibbon's 9-pounder battery, lately
arrived, has been attached to the Fourth Division.
There has been a great change in the weather
since the last mail left. A particularly close and
oppressive state of the atmosphere on the morning of
Wednesday, the 9th instant, was succeeded in the
afternoon by a succession of sudden strong whirls of
wind and dust gyrating towards the north. Rain fell
in the evening, and at intervals during the following
sight and morning. There was promise of finer
weather during the afternoon of the 10th, but
heavy showers of rain, with strong wind from the
south and south-west, came on during the night, and
have continued almost uninterruptedly since. During
last night—May 11th-12th, the wind rose several
times to a complete gale, and a considerable depth of
rain fell in heavy showers.
Several cases, not unlike cholera, have occurred in
some of the French regiments, and a few isolated
instances have also been met with is two or these d
the English regiments. But the wend health el
the troops matinees favourable. and see so ONO of
enlaces form the exception is the Gild A
Sanitarium for the reeeptiesefooroalesseateaue.dsit-
nem is about to be established on thespenagereemd

for the Sanitarium above Balaklava has been dusted
to the reception of men recovering from womb; end
invalids, therefore, who perhaps required only a few
days' change of air to mostablish their health, have
been sent away to Scutari or Smyrna. The gesso!
hospital establishment formed in the huts in rear
of the Third Division, near the Sailors' Ravine, has
been scarcely at all employed; the space being re-
served in case of a odds° increase in dousing of
wounded.

TEI DAILY
CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 13.
Within the last few days a alight modification in
the ministry has been effected, and Mouhtar Bey, ex-
Tophani Nazir, nominated chief of the finance de-
putment. This is really a good move—and the zeal,
intelligence, and, above all, the well-known incor-
ruptible integrity of this functionary, will enable him
to render great and essential services in his present
poet. He has been also on this occasion promoted to
the rank of pacha and muchir—and is, besides, I may
oration, a scion of the old aristocracy, and a perfect
type of a Turkish gentleman. Tufik Bey, ex-secre-
tary of the Sultan during the last and present reign,
has replaced him at the Ordnance-office.
A grand review and banquet took place on Satir.l
day last at the French comp, near the Maslak, whisk]
the Sultan and his court honoured with their pro
seance. lam happy to add that the health of these
troops is most satisfactory at the present momestc
and this observation applies equelly to Constantinople
and its environs in general. The cholera has almost
entirely disappeared after a brief return—and I
have again to advert to a remarkable fact no-
ticed in all my former coarmunicationr' that is to I
say, the relative immunity of the Jewish population.
On the present occasion, only five members of this
community were noted on the lists of mortality.
Resehid Pacha's departure on his mission to Vienna
was fixed for to-day, but it ;has been further post-
poned, it appears, and some usually well-informed
persons surmise that his distinguished services '
be still secured in the formation of a new ministry.
His retirement from office at this portentous Jane-
lure is a subject of general regret and amazement,'
and has given ries in most circles to some very severe
comments.
" L'hoinnse set an Wine," said the philosopher of
Forney ; and never, perhaps, was this apothegm
more forcibly illustrated than in the aeries of inci-
dents which, if report says true, led to the downfall
of this able and enlightened minister. Will it be
believed that the man whose comprehensive mind
had seized at a glance the insidious purport of the
Vienna nets, and who mainly contributed, at the
very outset of this struggle, to place his country's
cause on the broad basis of a European question, and
enlist in her favour the sympathies, if not the active
support of all civilised nations, should have deserted
at the eleventh hour the counsels of his sovereign,)
and that, too, it is stated, for motives petty, paltry,
miserable, unworthy alike of a patriot and a great
statesman ? And such, alas: is the report in circula-
tion, and such the measure and extent of human
frailty.
Reschid, as well by his own distinguished merit as
by a rare oonounenos of fortunate eventa,had reached
the zenith of worldly prosperity sad political power.
His influence was unbounded in every department of
the state; his friends and adherents countless ; his
personal and political relations most intimate with
Lord Radcliffe, as well as some other members of the
diplomatic corps; his late connexion, above all, with,
the imperial family, by his son Ali Oholaub Pubs's'
marriage, had ensured, in a word, advantages never
before united in the person of any Turkish digni-
tary. The bounty and munificence of his young
sovereign, besides, were manifested on every occasion ;
sad I may mention, among other instances which
have come to my knowledge,. the grant of a life pen-
sion amounting to 50,000 pufatres per month ; the
=of his palace, at a moment of greet
difficulties, for about twenty millions; and,
again, very lately, the cession at a mere nominal
value of crown property comprising an immense tract
of land in the highest state of cultivation, with the
frost weary residence on the Bosphorus.
Braid, moreover, had agreed vast wealth, and
acquired landed powiessions in various parts of the
mouthy, and was thus *ad, come what might, be-
yond the reach of accidents. His family, likewise,
was amply provided for : one roe, Master of the Mint;
another, Maw Packa, high in the army; Mehemet
Bey, ea you are aware, appointed authameder at tea
Fronde wart; and twu others employed is the de•

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 25, 1856.

Ali, His transactions with the Armenian banker
Jesaerhi had gine rise to a roost complicated and in-
terminable jaiWdinvestigation ; and Mehemet Ali,
althoagh frequently summoned to appear and "show
cease" before the Council of the Teezimat, had, \
I believe, constantly refused to attend in person, pro-
peeing, however, to send a sulutitote or advocate ot
his own choice to defend his rights. This
tioa, however, if I am rightly informed, wee
to, on what grounds I know not—and there
thus no chance of coming to an uudentanding on
this point, the council proceeded to the trial of the
matter at issue, and finally pronounced judgment,
condemning the Pacha to restore to the Treasury an
imagism sum. To this, again, I believe, Mehemet
Ali demurred, and matters were thus pending when
a rekiab, or cabinet council, was held at the imperial
palate of Toheraghan.
On the evening of that day, about 9 p.m., the Sul-
tan despatched a chamberlain to the neighbouring
mansion of his sister, the Princess Adili, summoning
her husband to appear at the Imperial palace. In
compliant* with this order, accordingly, the Puha
was conducted thither forthwith, and having been
introduced into the ante-room of the Mabein, he
there found the Seraskier and the Lord High
Admiral, who, after having invited him to a seat 1
on the Divan, and presented coffee and the
" calumet of peace," announced the orders of
the Sultan, producing at the same time the firman of
exile to Eutamoune. Mehemet Ali was thunderstruck,
but placed his hand on his forehead, in token eleedie
submission to the imperial decree ; all he requested
was permission to return for one instant to hie palace
and inform the Princess of his doom. This, however,
was refused; but a messenger (rejoined the Snea-
kier) should be despatched immediately for that ob-
ject, and also to take wearing apparel and other
effects, as well as the " artist' and kitchen utensils
aidesviaticum which Eastern usage indispensably pro+
v for all condemned to banishment. On this the
Paella entered the Seraskier's barge, with the High
Admiral and one or two of his attendants, and wee
conveyed on board a steamer in readiness at the
Arsenal. Next morning, at sunrise, the boat started
for the Black Sea, and having reached Ineboli, then
the pooh& leaded, and set oat without a moment's
delay for his destination—Kastamoune. This town is
a sort of Ultima Thule, and in all probability beyond
the limits of your geographical science; I may there-
fore be permitted to remark, parenthetically, that it is
situate in the Pachalic of Sleek and distant about 30
hours from the memorable city of Sinope. As regards
its antiquities and monuments of art, I am, I must
confess, about as wise as yourself ; but there is one
venerable relic of the highest interest to your civic
virtuosos, and to all who delight in "creature com-
forts." This I should denominate a "self-acting spit,
—in appearance, at least—inasmuch as it turns as $
pivot, and the meat is admirably roasted by the mere,
agency of caloric. It is the simplest of all appliances,
and I have been often surprised that it is not in
general use. It is placed vertically. before the fire,
and it is only in this, and a miniature windmill
apparatus at the top, that it differs from the common
spit. It moves beautifully and perpetually on, and
the velocity is in the exact ratio of the hear. Under
these circumstances, it is to be hoped, that Mehemet
Ali was invariably kept in good case, and did not
want at least for an excellent kebob to console him in
his exile.
But to return to my tale. The messenger having
arrived at the palace of the Princess, the news spread
at once like an electric shock, and the harem re
sounded with wailing and lamentations. The young
Sultana rushed out quite distracted, and ordering her
carriage proceeded, with a train of attendants, during
the night, to the imperial palace. On her arrival,
the great portal of the harem was instantly thrown
open, and the chief of the eunuchs conducted the
princess to the apartments of the Hamada Ude. Her
de date appearance, disordered toilet, dishevelled
hair, and loud lamenting., excited the pity and corn
passion of all. "My brother! my brother !" she
sobbed aloud; "I want for one instant to see my
brother." Her tears, however, and entreaties were
all in vain, and she watched, sleepless and in
anguish, the whole night, in hopes of obtaining an in-
terview. The sun, however, rose without her having
attained her object, and she was thus under the
necessity of returning home, where another beset.
rending spectacle awaited her. The steamer con-
taining. her husband shot up the narrow straits, and
almost immediately under the opened window of her
palace. Shortly after the departure of the exiled
Pasha, Lord Radcliffe, with his family, started for j
the Crimea, and the very day after, if I am rightly I
informed, the Sultan summoned to his presence
Reechid Paella, the then grand vizier, and notified
his intention of recalling his brother-in-law
from exile. The minister in reply respect-
fully observed to his Majesty the necessity ot sub-,
mitting this matter to the deliberation of the council,
and promised to communicate, without delay, the
result. This was accordingly done ; and the de-
cision, I am told, sanctioned the recall of Mehemet
Ali, but on condition, it is said, of his being
again entrusted with any important post in the
administration of the empire.
I cannot precisely state the effect produced, when
this was notified to his Imperial Majesty, but the
immediate result was that orders were issued for the
despatch of a steamer to convey the Sultan's pardon
to the Pacha, and bring him back without delay to
the capital ; with the addition, moreover, that if no
government boat were in readiness, one must be
hired at any price from the foreign steam company.
This latter expedient was adopted, and Mehemet
Ali, after a fortnight's stay at the place of exile,
returned to Constantinople. On his arrival the
Sultan sent a page to welcome him, besides a sub-
stantial mark of favour in a gift of 15,000 parses
(about 7,00 W.). Thus far, since his return, he has been
living in entire seclusion, and has seen no one with
the exception of his medical: adviser. Reschid Pacha,
shortly after the departure of the steamer destined
to bring back Mehemet Ali to Constantinople, sent
in his resignation; and has thus produced the greatest
confusion at this trying moment, sacrificing to petty
jealousies and animosities the true interests of hie
country.

MUSIC.

RE-APPEARANCE OF GRISI.
Grief has re-appeared, rather nueepertealf. After
her declared inanition to retire from th.e stage. and her
" foremen performanees " last season 'adore her departate
foe A9I•TiCI, the public had given trip all thoughts of swag
her Wier WI a few darer., w/aert it was aanounced that
she had made ea espgemest for too sights to poems the
principal eharaeters of hes tipertoire. The annouttoement
was accompanied by an explanation of the reasons which
had induced her to take this step ; but this wee
wholly unnecessary. Grid is too great and too de
servedly a favourite to have had any ground for appre
hension as to her !sceptics; the public are only too glad to
have her before them ogee more. She appeared law
evening in the character of Leonora in Le Favorer*, one of
the finest of her parte, mot only se a vocal performance, bat I
as a pleas of beautiful and pathetic Wing. When she pre-
sented herself she received a moat eatbssiastie wawa
from a very crowded hones. She acknowledged it w
visible
entodm, and for some time seemed nervous sad el*
Wad. Rer feelings seemed at first to have affected her
vaioe, whisk, though as sweet as ever, had Ism
than its wonted power. But it recovered its
strength as she regained her self-possession ; and
throughout the whole of the third act her performance was
as beautiful and affecting as ever. Mario was equally ed-
stirable in the character of Fernando; he never stag no..
exquisitely, and never acted with greater esergy and perelen.
Gresisal achieved airm is toe part of the Kiag. Me
sang the principal ," 0 mato amor," 90 beautifully, that
it was loudly and unanimously encored. Lablashe made the
part of the aged Friar deeply impressive ; and the whole opera
was very finely performed.
