THE KERTCH

The Monigeur publishes a despatch from Ge-
neral IYAstemarre, dated Beech, May 28, respect-
ing the taking of that town, and Yentkale. Besides
narrating the occurrenoes mentioned by Sir George
Brown, the General says :

The town of Hertoh is very rich, and I think as advas-
tigress market for the •ouy might be found hero. The
inhabitant., who are isdaurioas and comusereial, have

near y all of them remised in the town. The Inhabitants
of Yenikale, on the contrary, followed the garrison; but
forty families 'stunted yesterday.
We may compute at 6.000 men the strength of the troops
charged with the defence of the peninsula. General
Wrangel, who commanded them, had repeatedly demanded
reinforcements. A letter from Prince Gortobakoff, that has
fallen into our hands, informs this general that not only
will be not receive the reinforcements demanded, but that
he " will have to send on all his cavalry to Sebastopol."

glow oa the heights to the north of the harbour.
These were, there an be no doubt. the Kutch oon-
ma; and this source, whence Sebastopol would
appear to have been exclusively provisioned of,
late, is now eat off. We are not disposed to
build on the unauthenticated rumours which

him bean flying about Sebastopol. of despatch,,
speared at Sart& which contain most lamentable
neonate of the ravages of disease among the garrison
of Sebeatopol. But there are two passages in
a late communication of our correspondent
_ _

pregnint with meaning. On the 26th Ult. he
writes:—" The Russians have been burying an
unusual number of dead on the north side the last
few days. Them burial places on that side of the
harbour are exposed to our view, and with a good
glees not only the recent graves can be distinguished,
bat also the parties at work excavating or performing
the last rites of sepulture." On the 28th he
again remarks :—" The Miamians are still ob-
served to be very busy about the grave-
yards on the north side of the harbour. At
the highest of the three grave.flelds—for the term
gravo-yards' is hardly appropriate, as they are not
enclosed—as many as seven carts were observed to be
standing at one time to-day. Several parties also
have been noticed making fresh graves." These
interments are not of the soldiers who have fallen in
battle, for they are uniformly buried where they fall.
Our correspondent, therefore, naturally concludes
that the numerous dead carried out to the "grave-
fields" on the north of Sebastopol have been, to a
great extent, the victims of disease. It is beyond
dispute, then, that the garrison are being assailed
by sickness and famine from within, at the same time
that they are pressed by their human enemies from
without. And this pressure from without must now be
sensibly felt. After the capture of the Mamelon, and
the works extending from it to Careening Bay, that
part of Sebastopol which is situated on the east of the
military harbour cannot be much longer tenable. Its
capture will deprive the Russians of their arsenals
and principal barracks; and what is scarcely of lees
importance, it will leave the ships, which still remain
in the inlet of Sebastopol, denuded of all shelter from
the shot and shells of the Allies. Already Sebastopol
totters to its fall. Nor is the position of the
Road= Crimean army in the field much
more secure. A simultassoos advance of the Allies
from Eupatoria and Hertch would compel it to con-
centrate itself upon Simpheropol or Sebastopol ; and
for this foam to be cooped up in the south-western
part of the Crimea is to be exposed to the same
famine that is already telling so fearfully on the
garrison of Sebastopol. The Crimea is lost to
Russia.

Nor is this the full measure of the humiliation to
which the Muscovite Government has already been
subjected. The occupation of the Sea of Azoff by
the allied flotilla, and the evacuation of Anapa by the
Russians, has re-established the independence of Cir-
Mei& Threatened by the warlike mountaineers in
front, and by the naval forces of the Allies
on their flank and rear, the Russian stations or& the
Kuban cannot be maintained ; their garrisons
must fall back on the line of the Dos. In a
short time Rusin will not hold one foot of land
south of the Lower Don, the north shores of the
Sea of Azoff, the Putrid and Black Seas, and the
Lower Danube. Should Russia sue at this moment
for peace, it would be madness to restore any terri-
tory south of this line to her. Sebutopol, a British
Minister has declared, is a standing menace to Con-
stantinople as long as its fortifications are not razed.
But if Russia is allowed to retain the
Crimea, what guarantee can Europe have
that these fortifications will not be recon-
structed, even though they should be razed
at present? Again, it has been admitted from
the beginning that had Russia been allowed to ex-
tend its conquests over all the shores of the Ermine,
that sea, enclave within Russian territory, must of
necessity have become a Russian lake. The same
holds good of the Sea of Axe ; to prevent it from
remaining a mere Russian lake, it is necessary that
some other independent community, or communities,
possess a portion of its shores. On these grounds
we maintain that even at this moment—in the pre-
sent position of affairs—peace ought only to be
granted to Russia on the conditiqn that she relin-
quishes all claims to the Crimea and to the lands be-
tween the Black Sea and the Caspian south of the line
of the lower Don. Bat Russia will not sue for peace
yet. It is true that her mercantile classes begin to
be severely pinched; it is true that the numerous no-
tion of the nobles who regard Moscow as their centre
and capital, and stand aloof from active life, are be-
aming mutinous; but the official class, civil and
military, in whose hands all real power is vested,
cannot afford to loss any of their foreign conquests.
One and all of them are deep in debt, and depend
upon employment for their very subsistence. They
can only obtain the means of indulging those
luxurious habits, which have become a second
nature to them, by draining the tributary province'
of their substance, u was the case with the courtiers
of Imperial Rome in its decadence. loveterate gam-
blers, they arguer ready to stake all on the hazard of
a die, and they will peril the existence of the Empire
rather than relinquish their emoluments. Russia
would at this moment reject peace if offered on the
terms we have indicated ; and Russia will hereafter,
Mu TARQUIN, have to purchase a worse bargain at a
higher price.—Daily News.

The Swansea Herald, noticing the bankruptcy of
the banking arm with which Sir J. D. Pail was connected,
adds, " white Csadreds and thousands in this neighbour-
hood will sympathise with the calamity which has befallen

the Cersnaven Works, it gives as great pleasure ia Wog

abire Banking Company, and not with the Leaden

liabilities of the ism are still said to amount to 360,0001.
