' hand. Many of the enemy fell, and eeveral of the'Frenein
were killed. One officer of the latter was bayonetad.:
This is about the first instance, during the present war,
that the enemy has been known to stand Othe'bayonet.
On every occasion they have fled in front_ of our charges.
It is generally believed that the enemy is getting short
of ammunition, and that they are making attempts with
cold eteel. But this kind of warfare with the allies, I
am inclined to-think, they will find to be very unsatis-
factory, since bOth British and French are too staunch
ever to be frightened by the glittering of a bayonet. It
is also believed that if the allies were to follow the par-
ties who make these attacks into the town in sufficient
i..tren;th, they might establish a hold on the town,
witho,nt being interrupted by the shipping.
It is evident the enemy is preparing the forts to the
north of the town and harbour, and snaking that district
a kind of garrison distinct from the town ; from which
one would suppose that they intend to struggle to the
last.
A rather laughable inoideut happened to an officer
going the round to visit his sentries last night. He fell
into a well, and was dragged out by his party almost.

The 19th inst., it is supposed, will be the day for the
Russians to attack us, that being the anniversary on
which they bless the waters of the Neva. They have

Allies will soon come. A heavy fall of snow is. still

The day after the sortie on the Bth, General Can-
robert published the following general order

"Devant Sebastopol, le 10 janvier, 1855."

The following letter; of a more cheering character,
was received yesterday from a colonel long resident
and universally respected in Marseilles _

"CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Jan, 1.

"Our mortar batteries commenced firing on the Ist
lost. They have caused the Russians serious injury. At
the moment I am writing the deafening sound which
comes from Sebastopol, from which we are notinore than
1,000 yards distant, gives me hope that tbs great blow
will be struck before long. The number of bombs
thrown daily is incalculable, and the fire is more ani-
mated than ever duricg the last 43 hours. Our pro-
jectiles cause immense injury, not to the town, which
is a mere heap of ruins, but to the besieged, who
do not know where to hide themselves. The Rus-
sians make frequent sorties, but they are always
victoriously repulsed. There are 15,000 Turks at
Eupatoria. Omer Pasha will be shortly there at the
head of 40,000 men. He will cut off the retreat of the
Russians, and render the arrival of supplies impossible.
You may perceive that everything is progressing AD
well as possible, and that the reason General Can-
robert does not press the assault is, that he wiehes to -
make himself master of the garrison, and at the same
time avoid useless carnage. With the exception of some
casea of men frozen in the trenches, the sanitary Rtnte of
the army is satisfactory. Unfortunately I cannot say as
much of the English. Our entire brigade has been oc-
cupied for the last three weeks in making a road from
Balaklava to the camp of our Allies, and in transporting
their food and ammunition. The cold is so severe that
our soldiers have been forced to abandon their tents and
to dig holes under ground. Those subterranean habita-
tions are warn], but very damp."
