SUCCESS OF THE ALLIES.-
Pubqc expectation turns to a grand contest, which every one
trusts will speedily mark the point of victory and sheath the sword
which has been drawn for the defence of European rights. There is
no possibility of victory without enterprise, or :metes, without inde-
fatigable industr . The principles true in war are the same in trade,
and E. MOSES and SON are fully prepared to show the victorious re-

At 9 a.m. of the 31st, the destruction by fire of the
two remaining vessels seized by the paddle steamers,
one of which was a fine schooner of about 150 tons,
commenced. A fresh breeze blowing at the time their
timbers burnt with great rapidity, and in a few hours
their hulls were scarcely above water. In the forenoon
a general signal was made to get up steam and shorten
in cable. By 11 o'clock the fleet was under way (the
Euryalus, Amphion, Magicienne, and Merlin, being
sent ahead as a squadron of observation), and proceeded
in an easterly direction. They anchored at 4 p.m. in
line abreast eight miles W. by N. of Tolboukine Point,
from which position an excellent view of the forts on the
south side of Cronstadt is afforded, the Risbank Battery,
formed of solid granite, and mounting 100 guns of large
calibre, being very conspicuous. Of the Russian men-
of-war at anchor in the harbour, six line-of-battle ships
(four of them three-deckers) all ataunt, and 13 others (six
of which are three-deckers) with merely their lower
masts standing, together with two frigates and seven
steamers, are visible to the naked eye. By aid of a tele-
scope, the gilded spires of the churches of St. Petersburg
can be distinguished, and during sunshine have a very
brilliant appearance.
Shortly after the ships had anchored, Rear-Admirals
R. S. Dundas and Seymour, with their respective flag
captains, and Commodore the Hon. F. T. Pelham, cap-
tain of the fleet, embarked in the Merlin, accompanied
by the Euryalus, the Amphion, the Magicienne, and the
Dragon, and proceeded off Tolboukine Point, at which
they landed, and ascended the lighthouse, from which
elevated spot a panoramic view of the whole of the forts
of Cronstadt and of the ships in harbour is afforded. Hal.
ing passed some time in the lighthouse they re-embarked
in the Merlin, and steamed along the southern shore to
make a closer observation of the forts, and returned on
bard their respective ftsg-ships at sunset. The Magi-
cienne was ordered to be ready for service during the
night, the ships to bank their fires and to prepare for
sailing
At 9 a.m, of the Ist of June the Dragon and Merlin
were again under weigh, for the purpose of conveying
the two flag officers and their suite along the north coast
of Cronstadt, in order to enable them to make a recon-
naissance of the large batteries on that side of it, in
which they were engaged for several hours. About 2
p.m., the French squadron, under the command of Rear-
Admiral Penaud, and consisting of the Tourville, 90 ;
Austerlitz, 100 ; Duquesne, 90 ; and D'Assas, 16, at
screw-ships, hove in sight. By 5 p.m. they had anchored
ahead of the English division of the fleet. The Tour-
ville, flag-ship of the French Admiral, hoisted English
colours, and fired a salute of 15 guns. The Duke of
Wellington hoisted the French ensign, and saluted it
with 21 guns. Soon afterwards the French Commander-
in-Chief embarked in his barge, and paid a visit to Rear-
Admiral Dundas, with whom he had a long interview.
On his departure salutes were exchanged by the respec-
tive flagships. In the evening the Bulldog paddle-
steamer arrived from the westward with two colliers in
tow—the Red Rose, of Dundee, barque, and Paragon,
brig. The Magicienne was ordered to complete coaling
with all possible despatch. After an interchange of visits
between Rear-Admirals Penaud and Seymour on the
morning of the 3d, they, with the English Commander-
in-Chief, embarked in the Merlin. The Dragon baying
come up with the Admiral, both steamers proceeded
on a cruise off the north side of Cronstadt, standing
in for the shore until almost within range of the
forts, where they hove-to for four hours, minutely
surveying the enemy's means of defence. Their
movements were closely watched by the Rus-
sians, 'who stationed themselves at their guns, which
were laid at the greatest elevation. At 5 p.m. the
steamers were observed steering back to the anchorage ;
tioe -CO-tiveSisififiAtie fir); 'We
Dragon being in company, towards the south front of the
island. Having landed at the Lighthouse, and from its
summit having made a reconnaissance of the fortifica-
tions, the Russian men-of-war, &c., in the harbour, the
Admiral returned at 9 p.m.
The position of the submarine piles outside the en-
trance to the harbour on the north side is said to have
been ascertained. Three line-of-battle ships and two
frigates are moored across the harbour's mouth. Along
the line of coast leading to it several additional earth-
works have been thrown up, and the defences generally
have been materially strengthened since the fleet was at
anchor off Cronstadt in 1854. In addition to the line-of-
battle ships lying under shelter of the forts, there is a
large flotilla of gun-boats ; the harbour is so thickly
studded with them that it is impossible to count them ac-
curately, but their number is estimated at little short of
200. And now that the flag officers of the allied naval
forces have satisfied themselves of the strong position of
the enemy, it remains for them to devise measures for
wresting it from his grasp. It is not easy even to guess
the conclusion at which they will arrive ; but the nn-
pression of other officers whose opinions are worthy of
respect is that Cronstadt cannot be successfully assailed,
and that its fall will not take place during the present
campaign.
On the first occasion, before referred to, on which the
two British rear admirals made a reconnaissance on the
northern side of Cronstadt, the Merlin having stood in
shore as far as practicable, they embarked in their re-
spective gigs and proceeded within 1,400 yards of the
spot where the enemy's vessels blockading the channel
leading to the harbour are at anchor. The Russians,
however, did not fire on them, their object being to make
them prisoners, which they attempted, but fortunately
were prevented in accomplishing by the officers on board
the Merlin, who, observing the enemy's intention,
promptly made signal " that two Russian boats were in
chase," hoisted the " recall" for all boats, and fired a
gun to enforce immediate obedience to the signal, as is
the custom in the service on important occasions. This
circumstance was sufficient to convince the Admirals
that their opponents were making some important move-
ment, and induced them to return to the Merlin, where
they were apprised of their narrow escape.
admitting that it is necessary for the allied fleets to

Very few events of general interest have occurred
during the last four days in the siege operations, nor
has any change taken place in the condition of the works
beyond the gradual advance of the approaches against
the enemy's more prominent positions. Each day
rumour has asserted that the following day would see
the opening of the new batteries, and the commencement
of the third bombardment ; and each, in turn, by its
stationary quietude, has given the lie to the assertions
of its predecessor. A council of war was assembled at
an early hour of the morning at head-quarters on the
29th inst., when, it is stated, the arrangements were
completed respecting the reopening of the fire, but their
nature has not, of course, transpired. It is not unlikely
that the renewal of the fire will be delayed until matters
are ripe for a connected series of combined movements,
such as will tend to engage the attention of the Russian
forces, if not to detach a considerable portion of the
army from the immediate neighbourhood of Sebastopol.
News from the army at Kertch has been looked for
with general interest, and the probable influence on the
Russian tactics of their losses in that direction has been
a subject of much speculation. On all sides firmer hopes
are now held of a successful issue to the great enterprise
in which the allied armies are engaged ; and this, not
only on account of the vast superiority in fire which will
be brought to bear on the town and works as compared
with the former bombardments, but also because it is
argued that the Russians cannot have the means at
hand of interrupting the operations about to take place
iu the field, or they would not have left the key to the

the fire opens the Kamschatka Redoubt oat) Mamelon-
hill, and the quarry work below the Rede will be the
two principal objects of attack first ; en, after a few
hours' bombardment, it is understood tle these works
will be assaulted, the former by the Frethj the latter
by the English troops. No one feels anyloubt of the
assault being successful ; the main diffic4 will be to
retain possession until the daylight shall haefe-appeared.
It will be important that the position on le Maneelon
is secured at the same time that the quariis crowned,
as there is little doubt that some of the gu on the for-
trier hill bear on the quarry. Whether e quarry is
armed is not known ; its position on the an hill pre-
vents this from being ascertained by obser ion, and as
yet no embrasures have been opened, scharge of

The fire has been slack aldng all the lintduring the

The allied troops on the Tchernaya front remain very
much in the position they occapied on the 28th inst.—
the day of the advance from the lines of Balaklava.. The
Sardinians are still on the extreme right, the Turks on
the right, and the left wing, stretching to the plateau of
Sebastopol, is composed of French and Turks. Turks,
too, slightly intermixed with French troops, form a re-
serve in the rear. The French cavalry has advanced up
from the plain and taken up its position in the centre.
The Sardinian Lancers on the right are encamped in the
rear of the contingent. In the evening they advance to
do picket duty against Tchorgoun—a task in which they
are assisted by our own cavalry, who, for that purpose,
march up nightly from the lines of Balaklava. Though
the position of the troops is the same in the main, still
there has been a good deal of shifting and arranging
of camps ; and the last few days, though they were
poor in events, have not been idle. It seems to
be General Canrobert's intention to bring his en-
campments into perfect line of battle, and to push
the troops on the enemy from the positions they
occupy on the hills commanding the valley of the Tcher-
naya. There is also reason to believe that the next ad-
vance, whenever it shall be made, will be made with the
assistance of British troops, for the Guards are under
marching orders, and the Light Division are preparing
to move from the post which, for seven long months,
they have held in the Sebastopol front. Up to the pre-
sent the 31st Regiment alone represents the British in-
fantry among the troops that are to unlock the gates of
the mountain fortress upon which we look down.
The Russian lines, which the army under General
Canrobert is about to take, are very strong by nature.
We know enough of the Russian engineers to suppose
that they have availed themselves of all the advantages
of the position on our extreme left at Inkerman ; the
steep chalk rock rises at some distance from the Tcher-
naya, and appears almost as if nature, in a fit of military
engineering, had fashioned the rock for defence. The
Russians, still remembering Alma, appear to think
that our chief advance will be male from our left,
where inaccessible mountains are to be climbed and
batteries to be taken. All this day they were busily
engaged to still more add to the advant tges of their posi-
tion, by the digging of rifle-pits to command the bridge
and fords of the Tchernaya. They seem to think that
an attack upon their left, the passing through the defiles,
and crowning the heights of Tchorgoun, requires a de-
gree of generalship, of which the allied armies, up to the
present, have given no evidence. We on the other hand
rely upon General Canrobert and our own African bri-
gadiers to whom this mountain war is familiar ; we look
hopefully upon the vast numbers of light troops that are
at General Canrobert's disposal ; we expect much of the
Zouaves, much of our light division, and perhaps still
more from the skill and agility of the Sardinian Rifles.
Whenever these troops advance from their present posi-
tion, it is hoped that the burden of the attack will rest
upon Tchorgoun.
The Sebastopol front has been remarkably tranquil,
with the exception of Saturday morning, before day-
break, when the Russians for some hours kept up a tre-
mendous cannonade on all parts of our lines, and those
of the French. Of course, all the guns we had in work-
ing order answered. It was a general bombardment
from Inkermann to Kamiesch, but I cannot learn that it
did much execution on either. The greatest activity in
placing and repairing still prevails in our trenches, and
it is confidently asserted that all the preparations are to
be completed to-morrow, and that the third bombard-
ment of Sebastopol is to commence on Wednesday morn-
ing. If so, it will most likely take place at one and the
same time with the battle of Tchorgoun.

Appropos of Tchorgoun, when we occupied the village
for a short time on Friday last, the French got posses-
sion of the Russian mail bags that had just arrived, with
numbers of letters for officers and some few for soldiers.
The bags were taken to the French headquarters, where,
no doubt, the letters have been opened. Their contents,
if interesting, are likely to transpire, and everybody looks
with great interest to the revelations of the intercepted
Muscovite letters.

The glorious news from Kertch reached the camp first
in the shape of two rumours. One was that we bad
taken the town and 50 guns, without the loss of a single
man. The other, that the allied forces had been hotly
engaged, that they took the town at the cost or z,voo
yeif,;;;_lay the authentic news of the taking of Kertch
and the complete result of the expedition was published
in general orders and read to the troops on parade. They
received the announcement with enthusiastic cheers.
The weather is most favourable to the carrying on of
military operations.

The Sardinians, who are extremely strict, and who,
strangers yet to the various uniforms of the armies, are
full of suspicious, stopped and almost arrested a couple
of Guards officers, who on Saturday last rode up to exa-
mine the new position. This morning they arrested two
navvies who had been found strolling near the Sardinian
lines. Our new allies were positive these navvies must
be Russian spies. Picture the indignation of the men in
red jackets and linen trousers at those foreigners mis-
taking them for Roossians and spies. " They be Roos-
sians ! No, not they—they'd scorn the baction." In
spite of their protests, they were marched to Lord
Raglan's headquarters, and banded over to our military
authorities, who, of course, set them free. On the other
band, I should not wonder if the very admirable uniform
of the Sardinian line regiments did not• lead to awkward
mistakes—at a distance they are so much like the
Russians ! •

RELEASE OF PRISONERS.—On Monday a number of
the men brought home in the prizes frorn•theßaltic, and
put on board her Majesty's ship Crocodile, off the Tower,
were released and put ashore at the Tower-wharf, with
the whole of their personal effects.
THE NEW YORK, NEWFOUNDLAND, AND LONDON
TELEGRAPH COMPANY.—This company have, through
the medium of one of their directors, • been in commu-
nication with parties in Cork, to obtain information re-
specting that harbour, with a view of having Cork estab-
lished, if possible, ass. "port of call" for the Collins line
of steamers during the present summer. The company's
telegraphic line will, it is stated, be very soon com-
pleted from the continent of America to St. John's,
Newfoundland, and the object sought to be attained is
to bring intelligence direct from that point by the
steamers to Cork, whence telegraphic communication
with Liverpool and London already exists. "The mat-
ter is so feasible,". observes the Cork Reporter, " that we
have every hope in the present session to see this port
made a transatlantic ' port of call,' its fitness for which
w© have so frequently contended for."
