I regret to state that the unanimity and gosifill

German Legion and the inhabitants of this Med

feeling of hostility, which is increased by the mid

and arbitrary mismanagement there are grave eon.

such a way that each of them should undertake the

allowing all foreigners to establish themselves at the
island, which was hitherto only permitted during the
bathing treason.
In former times, when we had a garrison es tie
island, the officers and men lived on the most friendly
terms with the islanders; but the English officers now
sent over appear to consider themselves far too good
to hold any communication, or enter into social inter
course with native families, which has also tended to
sharpen the animosity already existing.
Another cause of complaint against the authoritim
is the arbitrary manner in which their little plots of
potato land have been taken from them, the money
for which has not yet been paid. When one own-
dere that potatoes are without exception the only
article grown on this rocky island—and that, too, to
a very moderate extent, and not sufficient for the
consumption of the islanders under ordinary. arcane'

harsh and uncalled-for, that just that spot under
cultivation should have been selected to build the
barracks on, when any other part of the island,whith
is everywhere covered with grass for pasture, weld

rate of a penny per square toot, which is said to le

are millions of acres to be had ; but on this little ale

acres, a penay per square foot is no adequate recant

The period dnom the last mail left hie boss very
mprodestive of events. There te searcely myth's;
to mord biped the continua bombardment of the
'meth side, and the incresalag ere of the enemy
spinet the town and Hstabeinaia on the meth side.
The fire against the latter suburb hes no
much increased, that, although little mis-
chief has been done beyond the further distraction

to abandon it for the present. It doss sot pre-
vest, however, the fatigue parties going for timber,
firewood, roofing, and numberbis articles of building
materials and furniture, to be employed in hutting
sod making snug against the inclemency of the ensuing
whiter. A few occident' have occurred. One
day, two Croatians, is charge of baggege animals, were
wounded by farina of a shell. Oa mother omis-
sion two horses returning from the town with loads
of wood, were both killed by one and the same
round shot. The Realm" are employing sunk guns,
sad by their means are enabled to throw shot
into the Malakoff. and some little distance beyond
it. They have the advantage of position, for ea the
north side the line of hills is boatman lefty, and ries
more directly from the shore of the nedstesd,
than hippos on the math side. The com-
paratively flat ground en which the Umbilicals Is

approach the animist to the westward, doubtless

enemy in the Star Fort, and this work is placed
on the highest point is the ridge of the opposite thee
of mountain. Although a sunk fort, it can be seen
to contain very extensive buildings, apparently
ranges of storehouses or barracks. Near the costa,
a home stands by Wolf, and from its superior height
and general character, appears to be the reddens'
of the Governor. Th. French have been throwing
shells of heavy charge with great accuracy into
this fort. and on the 27th instant succeeded in setting
meal the buildings on fire. The flames were speedily
extinguished. The essay his not made me of any
large mortars on the opposite side, except one at
Fort Coostantisse, which is chiefly directed at present
against the quarter of fiebsetopol held by the Freseb.
Theism. day that the fire alluded to above occurred
an explosion took place in one of the Russian =p-
anes near the mouth harbour, killing and wounding
several men. The magazine, which was connected
with a small flanking battery on the slope of the hill
sear the strand battery—the one which crosses the
valley adjoining the head of the south harbour—wee
intended to be cleared out, and oriers bad been given
for this work to be carried into effect. Part of the
gunpowder had been removed, and it was imagined
that very little more (if any) remained. About
1 p.m., however, a tremendous explosion occurred,
and from the force and extent which characterised it
the quantity of powder ignited must have been very
great. The cause of the occurrence is not known,
but it is strongly suspected that a lighted pipe was
the source of the ignition. One man of the let bat-
talion of the Rifle Brigade was killed
and font were wounded ; several men also of the
Royal Artillery and of the 4th Regiment were injured.
Stones and the timbers of the magazine were thrown
to a great distance around, and a funnel-shaped ex-
cavation was left in the ground about 24 feet deep in
the centre. A horse was killed by a, falling stale at
the distance of many yards from the source of
mischief.

Beyond a slight increase for the purpose of strength-
ening the position on the Tohernaya—now the main
front of the army—scarosly any movement atropin haa

taken place. A military road is being advanced toward
Aitodor, which appears as if something were intended
in that direction. But the lateness of the season,
and the oold and relay weather having set in some
weeks earlier than lent year, make it very doubtful
if any campaigning operations will now be under- ,
takes. During the last two days the weather has
been nanny and flue, bat the nights have been exceed-
ingly cold. By contrast with the present year, the
army seems to have been singularly favoured, in re-
spect to weather, during its maroh from Eupatoria
and subsequent occupation of Balsklays, and the
position above Sebastopol in September of 1864. It
is said that a part of the fleet is to take its departure
soon—the larger sailing vessels to go to the Bospho-
rus, sad some of the smaller steamers to Malta. The
Rodney leaves for England in a few days.
Since the bombardment spinet the north side has
become more active, the movements of troops sad
passage of vehicles have greatly diminished. Alto-
pther it wears a very deserted aspect. The canvas
town, or Russian Kadikoi, has quite disappeared, and
nothing remains but the usual melancholy aspect of
a deserted camp. Many of the square tents, supposed
to be ambulances, including all those in the line of oar
fire, have been removed. Since the 22nd inst., the
large camps beyond Interments have also become
considerably lessened in extent. On the day pre-
vious a smell body of French troops left for &pa-
led& The occasion was taken advantage of to send
also a 'amber of British vessels in the same dime-
ties, sad as the sailors on deck were for
the time converted tato marines as far as
dress was concerned, the Russian moats evidently
took far granted that a combined force was being
despatched for the purpose of carrying on some
active hostilities in that direction. The next day a
large force was observed to leave the north camp, and
a body of troops wee also seen by some of our ships
to be marching in a northerly direction along
the coast. False alarms of this nature mast
tend greatly to harms the enemy. It was generally
imagined in the camps that this ruse was intended to
disguise some projected movement towards the Mae-
bassi@ heights, bat no operation of the kind took
pia.

The troop are la exosllent health. The cessa-
tion of the trench duties, and the opportunity
plaid of tact at night, are evidently producing
the beneficial effects which might be *spooned.
All are actively employed in making preparations
to meet the coming winter. Military roads are
het progressing in the directions of the principal
mates. The Divisional Commissariat stores are
eaternalating, as well as the head-quarter establish-
ments, and will reader the necessity for transport
daring the winter a comparatively animpertant
matter. Should the bate which are expected hem
England arrive in time to be erected before the rains
set in, there is every mums to expect that the sani-
tary state of the troops will be as remarkably favour-
able this whiter, as it was unfavoarable daring the
last winter.
