Yenikeli, May 25,1855.
My dear Lord Raglan,—The expedition to this plats is
far has proved entirely successful, and we have got mite
sion of all we proposed without striking a blow, and el**
without firing a shot.
Oa leaving the anchorage off Sebastopol, on the 22ad, the
night bsiesine s• foggy that the fleet made but hale prelim
towards its destination, but the whole of tee unpaid
steamers reached the rendezvous, four Ingots off Ceps
Takli, soon after daylight on the morning of tee 24th,elies
it was speedily determined to run at once in for tee spet d
which, as your lordship is aware, it wee originally peeped
to disembark, and which is a floe smooth bay, round ahe
point running out immediately under the village of Kuala
Montana.

The water in the straits is so shallow that lugs ship
cannot mooed higher than about three miles kom Ms ape,
bat the steamers and vessels in which the whole si the
British infantry and artillery were embarked, could got it
lean a mile nearer to it.

All the vessels got as high up as the depth of vale
would permit, and came to an anchor abo6t eleven, elm
the English and French troop, began to get into the
and small steamers, which were ~signed to them, fowl
them to the shore, and the gun-boots and smaller,*
steamers were stationed to scour the beach, sod pretuttie

Although we had observed some six or eight pined
light artillery following us ,along the shore, no Engaging
was made to the disembarkation, and the first of the trays
reached the shore at ten o'clock, which, as soon whey
were formed, were pushed on to occupy the village es Os
rising ground bordering the marshy plain, on which they
landed for the purpose of covering the remainder of the dia
embarkation. As tney were the most numerous, and u
your lordship bad done so on a former occasion, I platei
the French on the right, and the British troops on thele4
intending to bold the Turkish contingent in reserve.
Boon after the disembarkation had commenced, mend
loud explosions were heard, and it was soon discovered thst
the enemy had blown up the magazines of all his battens
on Cape Bt. Paul, and was retiring by the road leading
Theodosia or Haifa. It therefore became exceedingiy d►
sirable that I should advance to occupy the ridge of winch

Turkish troops bad got landed, and but little of the Wit.

up the best position I could find for the security of the
troop., and the protection of the disembarkation stall the
necessary material and horses du ring the night, just before
dark—which, in an open steppe, where we were exposed to
the attacks of cavalry, was an operation of some difficulty.
I In the course of the evening, sevsral more load ezplosions
I were heard, and it was soon discovered that he had also
blown up and abandoned the whole of his weeks hers, tad
along the coot between this and Bench, and spiked all the
gust. Be had also set fire to and destroyed some large met
magazines in Kends, as well as two steamers in the harbour;
and the Coosacks, as usual, burnt all the forage and fare-
houses in their way.

As moon u the batteries on Cape St. Paul were abandoned,
or soon before, some of the smaller war steamers Will
enabled to round Cape Ackbourrun, and enter the Be, d
Butch, when they engaged and endeavoured to eats(
some of the enemy's steamers attempting to escape into the
Sea of Azar. They succeeded, I ►eliese. in Mitring
small one, but the other two managed to get through.

The disembarkation of horns, guns, and material" viol
on during the whole night, under the zealous and agile
superintendence of Rear-Admiral Houston Stewart sod
Captain Sir Thomas Feeley; but with all this, there Cue
good deal to be done at daylight this morning, and I wY
ultimately compelled to proceed with oily three of the pm
of the Turkish contingent, and without any of their Ann'
Domes.

Under the circumstances. however, I considered itius
retire to proceed, and the whole force marched off this
ground at sic this morning, the French in contiguoil
luaus, followed by their artillery; the British in Willem
of columns, covering their flack, and their own artillerysad
baggage; and the Turkish troops in contiguous returnee d
battaliosts,covering the NU of the whole until they apprenthel
the precincts of Kerteb, when the whole of the trooos hide
into an ordinary co.umu of route. The town of sac
clean, and remarkably well built, and the troops yowl
through it with the greatest regularity and without the
slightest disorder; subsequently the day became exesnivelf
hot, and the march being a long one, the men suffered
greatly from fatigue and want of water, which wu only to
be foiled at occasional wells. We managed to get in bre!
however, by one o'clock, where we were soon atter visited
by the three admiral. and found a large squadron of small
steamers and gun-boat., ready to proceed into the Sod
Anott under the conunand of Captain Lyons, of the
Miranda.

The result of these operations, besides the opening cf die
passage into that sea, and the destruction of the eurayb
works, has been the capture of upwards of fifty of his gm*
many of them of the largest calibre and the best constrae
Lion; and if the enterprise bas from circumstance, eel
added greatly to the glory of her blaiesty's arms, it hes,"
already stated, so far been attended by c ropier* sums.
That softens, however, is mainly to be attributed to dal
judicious arrangements of Admirals Bruit sad Sir I.
Lyons, and to their indefatigable attention in carrying then
out, as well as to the able and willing assistance the/ hire
,
received from the captains and other officers of the grave
sod British navy under their respective commands; a"
mast I omit to mention the invariable and willing selillalia
I have on all occasions received in the coons of tins se'
vies from General Danternarre, commanding the Frost!'
Division, and from Reschid Pasha, commanding the Suiten
Mops.
I omitted to state, that in passing through Reed: tbia
morning, observing that an iron laundry there had WO
employed in the manufacture of shot and shells, as well al
in casting Miele ballets, I caused it to be destroyed, ill"
all ita new and expensive machinery.—Yours,
G. Biowit.
