A orlon scene occurred the same day between some
of the late belligerents, near to Inkermon. As is
well known, the valley of the Tammy' at this spat
becomes very contracted, the cliffs which flank it as
either side being within easy rifle shot of ark odor.
On the Saturday the usual dropping fire bed sussed
on the part of the Ronan riflemen, but none of the
Russia, came out of their ambuscades or showed
themselves outside their works. It soon asi=.l
had :received orders not to fire, but were
whether the French had received siedi ice.l
stresticas. On Sunday, however, they stomata
freely, and, is common with the hook
and some English oleos and soldiers who
had grady collated togs.ther at this part, led
by a grand having a near inspection of the caves
and otiose dwelling-places in the olifb on the Rus-
sian side, usembled on the basks of the small river
which divided them. Mutual salutation took plan,
and to establish a fraternisation, as far as the °b-
eton which flowed between would permit, cigars
and tobacco were tossed across and interchanged.
This was not sufficient, and various attempts were
made to cross the river i but the water was deep,
and they all ended in failures, which gave rise to
amusement on both sides. At last the Remiss hit
upon an expedient. They felled a high tree, and,
prohaing ft across the water, formed a temporary
bridge. The invitation was accepted. Over went
French and English, and nothing could exceed the
civility of their late antagonists, bet now
their friend entertainers. They showed them
the Rock Chapel, the iron bateau, of which,
projecting from the face of the eliffi bad often
been an object of curiosity, and hewn hollow places,
whieb, instead of ban simple chambers or natural
excavations, proved to be spacious underground bar-
racks. There was also soup, raki, or the pipe, for
each as desired then aid it is waited that under the
Whom of this sadden friendship, assisted perhaps
by the raki, there were mere than ens or two in-
stant, of eddies not finding the way back to their
camps for luny hors after the time when they first
aroma the river. Some Elusion officers were present
whe spoke French fluently, and received with polite-
's., the Froth and few English officers who were
our the spot. This meeting took place before the
rrorder appeared alefinieg all persons within
esallp from going booed the outposts, an order
white will, of course, interrupt any further visite to
the Liberman chapel and eaves.
It will be observed that the order relating to the
