EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM oua OWN COENLIPONDINT

PARIS. SUNDAY EVILYING.
Her Majesty has passed the whole of the day pri-
vately at St. Cloud. I stated yesterday that she
would come to Paris at 11 in the morning to attend
Divine service at the chapel of the British embassy,
and this was the arrangement, but last night Dr.
Hall, the chaplain, received a command to proceed to
' St. Cloud this morning to read prayers and preach
before the Qaeen there. Probably the unexpectedly
late hour at which her Majesty arrived at
St. Cloud last night rendered this change
in the arrangements necessary for her convenience.
The performances on the occasion of the Queen's
visit to the Grand Opera, on Tuesday, will com-
mence with selections from Verdi, Halsey, and
Meyerbeer, is which all the principal singers of the
company will appear. There will afterwards be a
ballet, at the conclusion of which " God save the
Queen* will be sung by the whole strength of the
company. No augmentation in the price of places
will be made, but this is a fact of small importance
to the public, inasmuch as every seat has been long

BATTLE

THE TCHERNAYA.

DESPATCH PROM GENERAL SIMPSON.

We have been favoured with the subjoined intel-
ligence by Lord Penman:

WAR DEPARTMENT, SUNDAT, Aoo. 19.

Lord Penman has received the following intelli•
genoe from General Simpson, dated Crimea, 17th
August, 18.55, 11.45 p.m.:
" Prince Gortchakoff commanded yesterday, in
person, and not General Liprandi.
" General Read is killed.
" The loss of the enemy is greater than was at first
thought.
" Oar allies have 800 prisoner..
" A steady firs has been kept up from our bat-
teries."

The Minister of War hes received the following
despatch from the Crimea:

" Ammer 17, HLIJ-PAST 11 r.m.
" GENERAL PELISSIER TO THE MINISTER OF

WAR.

" In the attack of yesterday the enemy came for-
ward with tire divisions, 6,000 horse and 20 bat-
teries, determined to occupy the Tediouchine moun-
tains.

" After passing the river at several points, they
had brought up an immense accumulation of sapping
tools, plank., =driers, famines, and ladders, all
which they abandoned in their flight.
" According to its usual custom, our artillery
fought bravely and with great success. An English
battery of position on the Piedmontese hill afforded
very effioient assistance.

"The Russians left on the field at least 2,600 dead.
Thirty-five of their offioers and 1,620 soldiers are in
our ambulances. Three Russian generals were
killed. We have made besides 400 prisoners.

" Oar loss consists of 181 dead and 810 wounded.
Tinier, Dubois, Alpy, and Saint Remy are severely
wounded ; De Polhea and Berths less severely, and
Gagneur has only received a slight wound."

PARIS, MONDAY MOANING.

A further despatch has been received from General
Penciller, dated the evening of the 18th. It
is as follow,:

"CRIMEA, Avo. 18, 10 rai.

"Prince Gortchakoff has asked for an armistice
to bury the dead left on this side of the Tohernays.
I have granted this.
" The losses of the enemy are greater than I at
first thought.
" LientenantAsneral Read has been killed.

" Protected by the °oath:nod fire of our artillery,
the engineers' works are no longer annoyed by the
lenemy, and hare gained camp ground."

This intelligence enhances in every respect the
importance of the victory won on Thursday last.
When the generalissimo appears on the scene, the
object must needs be exalted, and the effort supreme.
The General Read whose death is reported was a
very distinguished offioer, and a year ago was dis-
charging the duties of imperial lieutenant of the
Caucasian provinces, in the absence of Prince Woron-
soft; and before General Muravieff had been nomi-
nated his successor. The father of General Read,
born at Montrose, was a civil engineer, who entered
the service of the Emperor Alexander in early life, and
settled in Russia, where his son, afterwards General
Read, was born.
