THE GARRISON' OF SEBASTOPOL.

A private despatch from the French camp gives
a few additional particulars about the affair of th e
Tchernaya, and explains, to a certain extent, the
disproportion, remarked by every one, between the
loss of the Allies and that of the enemy. It appears
that the garrison of Sebastopol, as well as the
army, are almost without provisions ; they have
scarcely a morsel of bread to eat, and they are in
such a plight that, according to the despatch,
one would say the Russian Commander-in-Chief
really desired to get rid of a considerable number
of his men from the sheer impossibility of feeding
them. The enemy had to pass through a deep
ravine to approach our lines, and while they did
so they were actually mowed down by hundreds
by our guns and musketry. The Russians were
not in a position to return our fire with effect, and
did little more than fire in the air. They seem to
have been sent forth as desperate men, to do the
best they could. It was in the advance and re-
treat that they suffered most, and, but for the sig-
nal slaughter of the enemy, the affe..'x could scarcely
be called a battle. "If we ',lto not take Sebastopol
