LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1855.

slightest foundation for this story, as none of the
French regiments an in advance of the pinkies.
An attempt seems to have been made in the Russian
army to supply the want of rises they laboured under.
A number of these new rifles were picked up, and.
jadghtg from appearances, they were equally se in-
stilment and quite as clumsy se their old muskets;
they seemed for the most part to have been old
muskets, rifled and fitted with a eight after the Liege
I pattern. Probably there is no army is Europe so
badly armed es the Miamian. The Turkish arm is
inuneemwellay Nopsrior. The swords of the
seem as if aids of the hoops of a barrel : see an
bend tbs. easily with the liners. Then their
muskets are long, awkward, unwieldy things, the
stocks made of deal, painted black. They have no
"half-cock," and their locks are so stiff as almost to
require both bands to lift the hammer. The greater
part of the muskets and Mee found wove marked
1864, so in that branch of home manufacture they
have made little progress. The greater part of
their great-eciate seemed to be quite mew,
and the Russian arm seem to hare marched
and fought ender a

Pressotkes are still talon to guard against a sur-
prise, and orders hays been issued forbidding any of
the men and more than one-fourth of the awe from
being absent from their regimental camp, and these
mast obtain permission from the officers commanding
their respective brigades. However inconvenient
this may be, no tee can find fault with it, as at the
present moment anything may be anticipated as
"the last effort of an enemy in despair."

Avo. 21.

The bombardment, which was oossmenoed by the
English on the morning of the 17th, came to a
natural death on the evening of the 19th. The
casualties were not numerous, and oar batteries were
not much damaged. The enemy's works, particu-
larly the proper left face of the Raw, were a good
deal ploughed up.
Since the night of the 18th our PM in the ad-
vanced trenches have kept up a sharp musketry fire
on the enemy's works, which they have not returned
meek. Since the departure of the last mail, on the
morning of the 18th, the adjutant of the 97th
Regiment, Lieutenant Darman, was killed in the
trenches by the bursting of a shell. He was a
good °Moen and much beloved by his brethren.
Captain Baring, Scots Fusilier Guards, was
wounded slightly in the side on the 19th.
Lieut. Dennis, 3rd Buffs, is progressing most favour-
ably • and Major Henry, Royal Artillery, who has
had 'his right arm amputated, is doing very well
likewise.

---i
War that an Alcor of the 3rd Buffs, Lieut. Cal-
deoott, was wounded, on the 16th, slightly in the
head, by a shell from one of the distant Russian
batteries. Of course he was only down on the field
after the action was over, like many others, u an
" amateur."

The-Trench Imperial Guard have moved their
encampment, with their hone and foot artil-
lery, over from the French general head-quarters
to the right, near;Telegraph Station, Woronitoff Road.
General PeHosier has oertainly mystified both his
friends and his enemies about this bombardment ; but
there are many who think ten days will bring about
wonders. The Frew* now and then open a heavy
firs on the left, and have lately done so on the right.
A great number of deserters have come in lately.
The whole army le still confined to camp, and only
four alms of etch regiment allowed out of eamp-at
one time. This morning an attack was again ex-
pected in the Tchernaya and in oar fort an hour be-
fore daylight. The same thing was expected on the
morning of the 19th. A very good and necessary
general order was brought oat last night about
" pillaging." The Zonaves will plunder anything that
they can sell again to the English offioer, and the
latter will always buy. The mail due yesterday is
in, but the letters have not yet been delivered,
although expected every minute. The manse thing
ooeurred last mail. The consequence is that this will
have to be posted about five minutes before I get my
English letters.
