" Thanks to these measures, not a single wounded
French soldier remained on the field of battle
two hours after the combat ; and long before the
end of the day all had been carried, in flying ambu-
lances, to the stationary establishmente of the 2d corps
and of? the quarter-general, and had been there attended
to. The carrying off of the wounded Russians wars more
difficult and more tedious, not only because the number
was so much more considerable, but because it was ne-
cessary to go and bring them in part from the right
Dank of the Tchernaya, and under the fire of the enemy,
who, from motives impossible to conceive, never ceased
throwing shells on the ground, covered with their owa
killed and wounded, the whole time that our soldier*
were employed in carrving off these latter. That opera-
tion was not terminated uetil yesterday morning.
" The number of wounded carried to the ambulances
after this combat was 810 French, of whom 46 were
officers, and 1,664 Ru-sians, of whom 38 were officers,
forming a total of 2,474 men, added to the number,
already very considerable, of those in our ambulances.
" I have said above that the wounded French were
divided between the ambulances of the 2d corps and
those of hta I-quarters. Whatever might be our desire
to treat the Russians in the same manner as our own
soldier, the encumberment of the ambulances rendered
it impossible to do so. The officers were sent to head-
quarters, and 453 others were divided amongst the dif-
ferent ambulances. For the rest, I was obliged to esta-
blish a temporary ambulance at Kamiesh, turning to
account the old wooden house camp, erected there
during the winter for the newly-landed troops. Hospi-
tal attendants were furnished by the brigade, charged
with the works of fortification at Kamiesch. The me-
dicA.l staff of the ambulance was very insufficient for so
long a task ; but Admiral bruat, having
been pleased
to place at my disposal twelve surgeons of the fleet, all
the dressings were effected rapidly, and yesterday, at
ten in the evening, not a single wounded man remained
without having been attended to. The administrative
set vice, and that of the pharmaceutical department are,
besides, insured by the permanent hospital established
at Kamfesch. Sub Intendant de Preval, having been
informed by the telegraph, had had this temporary asy-
lum prepared in advance, and when the wounded ar-
rived at Kamiescb, they found there beds, drinks, and
broth ready for them.
"I c.m_happy, M. le Marechal, in having a fresh °ma.
Rion to inform you how well I am satisfied with the
hospital service of the army. Every one has shown the
greatest zeal and intelligence, but I cannot too fre-
quently place before your Excellency the names of the
two principal heads of the service, M. de Seganville,
sub-military intendant, and M. Scrive, physician-in-
chief to the army.
"To day, the chips and frigates of the squadron and
the steamers of the adminisVation will carry to Con-
stantinople about 2,000 sick and wounded so that the
number of men in our hospitals will then be nearly the
same as before the battle.—l am, &c.,

been, was only crushed in our front, and they were com-
pelled to retreat, sustaining considerable loss.
The 17th Russian division, which had descended,
throwing forward large bands of skirmishers, met with
no better success. Received most resolutely by Gene-
ral Cier's brigade, and by a halt battery of the Imperial
Guard, harrassed on its left by the troops of Trotti's
d:vision, which closed in with it, tbis.division was forced
to recross the Tchernaya and fall back behind the bat-
teries of position that lined the heights from which it
had set out.
Front this moment, 9 o'clock in the morning, the
movement of the enemy in retreat was fully apparent ;
his long c,lonins filed away as rapidly as possible, „n.
der protection of considerable masses of cavalry and a
numerous artillery.
At one moment I had the intention of causing a part
of the cavalry to charge the remains of the 17th Rus-
sian division, and drive it from the bridge of Choulion
to that of Tractir. I had drawn ont for this object seve•
ral squadrons of Aftican Chasseurs, with whom were
joined some Sardinian squadrons lid one of General
Scarlett's regiments, the 12th Lancers (of India). But
the retreat of the Russians was so prompt that we could
only have made but a small number of prisoners, and
this fine cavalry might have been' exposed to some of
the enemy's batteries still in position. I deemed it pre-
ferable not to expose it there f.r so insignificant a result.
General de la Marmara, for the rest, •did not require
this support., but without it was able to retake in a very
bold manner the advanced positions that his small posts
bad occupied on the heights of the Choulion.
At 3 o'clock the whole of the enemy's army had dis-
appeared. The division of the Guard and the division
Dulac relieved the divisions engaged, to whom it was
proper to give some repose. I sent back to the Ist
corps Levaillant's division, and the cavalry returned to
its ordinary bivouacking ground:
This brilliant affair reflects the highest honour on the
infantry, the horse artillery of the guard, on that of the
reserve and the dtv.fejen.w.t.artillery. I - shall ere long
beg your Excellency to lite:ce before the eyes of the Em-
peror the names of those who have deserved rewards;
and to submit to his Majesty's sanction such rewards as
I shall have been able to distribute in his name.
Our losses are doubtless a subject of regret, but have
no relative proportion to the importance of the results
obtained, and to those we have inflicted on the enemy.
We have 8 superior officers wounded, 9 subaltern officers
killed and 53 wounded, 172 non-commissioned officers
and soldiers killed, 146 missing, and 1,163 wounded.
The Russians have left in our bands 400 prisoners ;
the number of their killed may be estimated at more
than 3,000, and of their wounded at more than 5,000,
of whom 1,626 soldiers and 38 officers have been admit-
ted into our ambulances. Among the dead collected by
us, there are the bodies of two generals, whose names I
have not yet been able to ascertain.
The Sardinian army, which has fought so valiantly by
our side, has had about 250 men disabled. It has in-
flicted on the enemy's army losses of much greater mag-
nitude ; 100 prisoners and about 150 wounded remain
in its power. I regret to announce to your Excellency
that General de la Marmora has informed me that Gene-
ral the Count of Montevecchio, whose character and
talents he highly esteens'ed, has fallen gloriously at the
head of his brigade.
I ought to state to your excellency the rapidity with
which the English cavalry of General Scarlett, which
General Simpson had been so kind as to place at my
disposal, arrived on the scene of action. The martial
attitude of these magnificent squadrons betrayed an im-
patience which the successful and prompt issue of the
day did not permit me to satisfy.
The English and Sardinian batteries of position and
the Turkish battery sent by General Osman Pacha near
Alsou fired with much skill and success. I have thanked
Osman Pacba for the prompitude with which he sent to
me, under Sefer Pacba (Gen. Koscielzki) six Turkish
battalions, four of which during the day occupied the
neighbouring passages of Tchorgoun.
Nothing remarkable occurred during the entire day
on the Sebastopol side. Generals de Sallee and Boequtt
were ready to repulse energetically any attempt on the
part of the besieged.
I transmit to your Excellency together with this re-
port the copy of a plan for the battle of the 16th, found
on the body of a Russian General, who is thought to be
General Read, who commanded the enemy's right, and
was specially charged with the attark of the Traktir-
bridge.—Deign to accept, &c., the General-in-Chief.

Orders for the right wing of the army, commanded by
General Read.

The draughts of the 92d and 931 Highlanders, ordered
for the Mediterranean, left Edinburgh on Tuesday for
Liverpool ; and those of the 42d, 71st, and 79th simul-
taneously left Stirling, Perth, and Dundee for the same
destination.
Between 400 and 500 Highlanders, composed of de-
tachments from the 60th, 92d, 71st, 42d, and 93d Regi-
m-nts, arrived in Liverpool from Aberdeen yesterday,
and embarked on hoard the paddle-steamer Hansa, which
will sail this morning for Malta.
The Dublin Freeman of Wednesday says The
troops at present encamped on the Curragh number
5,000, and we understand that a large extent of stabling
41,,,,in,i_provided in t.Uo uoigbbourhood of Kildare, New-
bridge, and Kiloullen, for the purpose of concentrating
at least 2,000 horse for active field exercise. The troops
at present encamped comprise the 60th Rifles, the County
of Down, the Longford, the Westmeath, the North
Cork, the County of Dublin, the County of Limerick,
and County of Clare Militia Regiments, in all about
5,000 men, exclusive of 250 officers. We also understand
that tent accommodation has been provided for 2,000
men, should it at any time be required. The foundations
of the Catholic and Protestant chapels have been laid.
Both these structures will be similar, in size, and will
measure in length 100 feet by 60 la breadth. They are
to be of superior construction, and, although built of
wood, will possess some features of Gothic architecture.
The quarter erected for the Commander of the Forces
will be given up this or to-morrow by the contractors.
It has all the appearance of a beautiful villa, and its in-
ternal arrangements are in perfect accordance with ele-
gance and comfort. We regret that an occurrence took
place last Sunday which was likely to endanger the peace
of the entire camp. On the soldiers of the Clare Militia
returning from mass the band of the regiment were or-
dered to form and play before a small number of soldiers
—not more than 20—who were proceeding to the Pro-
testant place of worship at Newbridge. The Catholics
belonging to the band refused to move, and several of the
soldiers expressed their determination to break every in-
strument that should be played on the occasion. An at-
tempt was made by the adjutant and several of the officers
to enforce the order, but without success, and we under-
stand that the adjutant and some of the officers were as-
saulted by the soldiers, several of whom are in custody.
In consequence of this circumstance, orders have been
issued to the effect that no military music shall be per-
formed on the Sundays before any regiment in camp
while proceeding to any place of worship. A large num-
ber of the County of Limerick Militia arrived at the
camp by train from Buttevant at 3 o'clock yesterday.
They were met at the Curragh station by the bands of
the different regiments in camp, who played them in
amid the cheers of the thousands of visitors present."

On the 15th of August, at nightfall, General Read
will descend with all his troops from Mackenzie
heights iu the track of Lieut.-General Liprandi,
and will form his two divisions into a column upon the
height occupied by the new redoubt, near the great
road, having on his left the second division commanded
by General Liprandi.

Ho will leave all his baggage in the camp, and will
have at hand a sufficient number of waggons in which
the foot soldiers may deposit their knapsacks. In these
waggons he will have placed culinary utensils and
brandy. The men must on no account have with them
less than four days' provisions, a pound of meat, cans of
water, and camp kettles. Each regiment will have a
chest of necessary stores, and two ambulance carriages.
The remaining ambulance vehicles will be under the
orders of General Zouroff, to whom is committed the
service of removing the wounded. The cavalry and
artillery will take with them whatever forage they need.
The best place for depositing this will have to be after-
wards determined.

The head-quarters for the 15th will be on Mackenzie's
heights. General Read, having first concentrated his
troops on these heights, will send an officer to the
general-in-chief to announce his arrival.
On the 16th, during the attack, the general-in-chief
will be on the slope of Mackenzie's heights, near the new
redoubt.

v.
At four o'clock on the morning of the 16th, while
the 17th division forms on the Telegraph height, Gene-
ral Read will advance, form the 7th and 12th divisions
of infantry in order of battle out of range of the enemy,
and place the regiment of Lancers in the rear as a re-
serve, with his Cossacks. He will combine his move-
ment with that of General Liprandi, and advance to-
wards the Tchernaya so as to be able to cannonade the
enemy on the heights of Fediouchine, prepare to cross
the river, and finally take possession of the heights of
Fediouchine upon the receipt of orders to that effect.
For this purpose he should have near his 7th and 12th
divisions of infantry, detachments of sappers and regi-
mental detachments, well exercised beforehand in the
use and management of flying bridges, to throw them
promptly over the aqueduct, and afford a passage to the
infantry and artillery.

As soon as orders to advance on the heights of Fe.
diouchine shall be received the troops are to pass the
Tchernaya to the right and left of the bridge ; the da-
mage caused by the artillery will be made good by
the sappers ; the bridges will be thrown under the orders
of superior officers commanding the special detachments.
