Rinser, to take effectual possession of our new ate
blishment.

The action commenced at the same hour as on the
previous evening. The charge of these brave batta-
lions belonging to the 46th, 98th, 14th, and 83th
Ra-
gimentr, was irresistible. The ambuscades were
turned and taken ; the enemy, driven back every.
where, withdrew, firing a volley of musketry,
which slackened by degrees, however, and finally
ceased. The engineers were able to commence
forthwith, and carry on their labours, notwithwand-
ing the grape and the projectiles of every kind hurled
from the place. Colonel Guerin and Commander
Durand de Villers conducted the works with equal
intelligence and vigour.
Our success, then, has been complete. The exten-
sive work, on which the enemy depended for arrest-
ing our attacks, is in our possession ; hie gabions pro-
tect us, his ambuscades are directed against himself.
Those which could not be included in our system
have been levelled.

These vigorous actions have not been accom-
plished without sensible losses, and we have paid for
our victory with generous blood. I expect on this
head the report of Gen. de Sallee.
Yesterday, at the repeated request of General
Oaten-Sacked, the white flag was hoisted, and an
armistice was concluded for burying the dead. We
delivered up more than 1,200 bothesioto the hands of
the enemy. This field of carnage recalled to our
remembrance our old battles with the Ruisians ; and,
as in those memorable times, the honour of arms in
these bayonet combats remained entirely with our
infantry.
From the number of the dead delivered up to the
enemy, and from the known results of the last affairs,
we are assured that the loss of the Russians is at
n a meats the impothinee tol a !malt'. These
malice g get .
estimates are moreover below those given by the pri-
soners than our own. it give. to

Our Artillery, under the direction of General Le
Bceuf, gave proof of care, vigour, and skill. It con-
stantly swept with its fire the ravine where the
enemy bad collected his reserves. Our projectiles
incessantly traced bloody furrows among the Russian
masses whenever they formed anew for a fresh
assault. I cannot praise too highly the correct eye
and the coolness of General Le Bo3ul.
The service of the ambulances was admirably per-
formed, and great praise is due to all concerned in
this hard duty. I shall have the honour of acquaint-
ing you hereafter with the names of the brave men
who distinguished themselves among the brave. The
country may well be proud of possessing such troops,
and I intend soon to reward the most deserving.
Deign to accept, &c.,

PARIS, W EDNESDAT EVENING.

In consequence of the interruption of telegraphic

communication between Varaa and Balaklava, it is
very possible that we may not for many days to come
have any fresh news from Sebastopol.
Business was nearly stagnant at the Bouree to-day.
The Rents, after declining 20c., closed at yesterday's
price, 70f. 50c. With the exception of Lyons, which
was in great demand, and rose 171 r. 50c., railways
were dull. Some lines fell a little.

The Prone, commenting upon the decrees in to-
day's Jioniteur, renewing tho provisional relaxations
of the customs and navigation dues till December 31,
next, observes that the decrees are a consequence of
the prolongation of the alimentary crisis, aad says :
" Perhaps it would have been better to have ren-
dered definitive measures which, independently of all
exceptional circumstances, are called for in the true
interests of commercial liberty, which are better and
better understood every day."

The following private despatch has come to band :
"VARNA, JUNE 5.
" CONIMINTINOPLE, JUNG 2.
"Riza Pacha has been dismissed. Mehemet Ruchdi
is appointed Seraskier in his place.
"Darbohor Paoha, General of the Imperial Guard,
has been dismissed, and is replaced by Selim Pacha.
The position of the Capitan-Pacha seems threatened."
" Letters from Turin," says the Constitutionnel,
" state that the King of Sardinia proposes to come to
i Paris about the middle of August, to visit the Univer-
sal Exhibition ; and letters from Contantinople by
the last mail speak of the Sultan having it in con-
templation to visit France about the same period."
The Simois steam-packet left Marseilles on the 4th,
for Constantinople, with troops on board. She also
took out an English Colonel, with despatches for
Lord Raglan, u well as M. de Burgoin, equerry to
the Emperor.
The Lord Mayor of London visited the Universal
Exhibition of Manufactures yesterday afternoon with
a select party, and attended by six footmen in the
gorgeous livery of the Mansion-house. This morning
his lordship, Lady Moon, the members of the London
deputation, and the ladies of their families, accompa-
nied by several gentlemen connected with the muni-
cipal commission of Paris, set off by railway for Fon-
tainebleau, where they purpose spending the day.
The whole party will return to Paris at about eleven
to-night.
