RUSS IA

We have received the St.: Petersburg journals Of the
13th (25th) December.
The:lnvalide Russe published Lthe following news from
the Crimea.—
On the 26th Nov. (etli Dec.) Colonel Oklobjio, chief of
a detachment of our left flank, made from Yenisala, by
the mountain passes a reconnaissance on the Balder valley,
with a vie* to disturb the enemy and to ascertain his
forces and their position.
With this object during the night of the 25th to the
26th our troops set out :by the pass in twa columns,
lowed by a reserve, and although they were met in the
mountain by pelting raiA,, and though the descent into the
Baidar was fettered by the hard nature of the land ren-
dered still mote difficult from being traversed by a multi-
tude of ditohes,•the movement was effected With complete
success.

At break of dap the three companies of the left column;
under the command of Major Birnkovitch, threw them-
selves on the village of Saga, dislodging an advanced post
of a French detachment, and pursuing it as far as the
re4erve, composed of three battalions, which, in the inter-
val, had ranged themselves in battle order on the heights
-in front of their lodgments. Three companies of the right
column of Major Danileulta, expecting the, enemy's fire,
hastened to rejoin the left column 'at Biga. A combat at
the point of the-bayonet took place; and our six Companies,
'after having defeated the enemy, pursued him vigorously
in the direction of the Tchernaya.
iaThis small, hut brilliant affair had the result of creating
alarm in the whole of the enemy's' camp. When dense
columns of the French infantry wai•ered, at the Mordvin-
off,'ln coming to the aid of their advanced guard, our
detachment effected in the most perfect order its retreat
by the pass, bringing away eighteen prisoners.
In aid of this .reconnaissance Major Meuslue-Po43eh-
line of the regiment of Marshal 4adatsky's Hussar* pro-
ceeded to the southern side of Mount Yaila with a-com-
pany of Chaissetws and sOme Greeks of the Balakiava:
Battalion, and by an unexpected disoharge of fire..arins
gave the alarth to a,post of forty men who were formed at
this point, and who took flight in all haste.
