In elate of the superiority which steam and geographi-

lam willing to &disco, l'Asnirel, that this is dose
without your knowledge. Permit me to hope that you will
be s 0 good as to forbid similar envois with pretended mes-
sages of true. The mew of Lieut. Geneste's cutter has
bun the victim of its rode. Seven men have been killed,
four of your people wounded, and the rest, Si the annexed
list will show, an prisoners. The Incident lasted only some
seconds. It wu impossible to distinguish the English
soldiers from the prisoners who accompanied them.
The one named Lundsuom, he who spoke English, wu
killed Ant, and two others were wounded.

All the responsibility of the incident bangs upon the ir-
regularity with which such espeditisne are wade.
It appears tome that it would be more convenient to ad-
dress oommunications to Sweaborg, and to confide them to

some vessel bound for that plaos,like that which brought
ms your letter of the 16th. The Cossack would have dose
its duty lilt had sot departed from this rule. Hoisting a
white flag of large dimensions, the hue messengers, with pro-
posal. for a trace, bring themselves to anchor out of the
resat of Gannon of a long reap, and wait until the others
eons to naive a written message. We acknowledge no
others. The Cossack did nothing of all this. It appears to
me that the honour of your deg demands the strictest and
most scrupulous observance of the rules laid down for such
occas►ons.

The honour of my Sag will never permit me to swerve
from this duty.
I era certify to yen that the wounded are well oared for,
and the prisoners well treated.
I have the honour to be, M. l'Arniral, year very humble
servant, (Signed) Dm Bane,

The Journal de St. Pettrabourg, in warmly sup-
porting the arguments of General de Berg, quote
with some effect from a leading article in the nines
of May 29, the story, long linos proved to be desti-
tute of truth, relative to the soundings in the Bay
of Kertch, alleged to have been taken on the occa-
sion of the return of the governor's carriage.
