dressed him. Captain Fellowes explained the object of
his mission, and when he came to the portion of his
message referring to the permission for burying the dead,
the Russian General, in a tone of great indignation ex-
claimed, "We have buried the dead. Tell my Lord
Raglan that we are Christians, and, though we make
war, we perform all the duties of Christians ! The dead
are buried. The wounded are taken care of." The Rus-
sian General then received two letters, supposed to con-
tain money and keys, which Captain Fellowes had been
charged with from two Russian officers in our hands. He
took out his glasses to read the direction, and as he did so
for the first time he deigned to bestow a quick sharp
glance over the rim at the officer who addressed him.
Finally, he declared he did not know the names of the
officers in the hands of his troops, but said that if Cap-
tain Fellowes returned to-morrow he would communi-
cate with him—that he would ascertain their names,
and would have any letters they might wish to transmit
conveyed to him for delivery. His tone became more
courteous towards the close of the interview, and as
Captain Fellowes retired the General said, " Vous m'ex-
cuserez si je vows dise que votre attaque de 25rne dtait
une attaque bete, parlant selon la loi militaire," or
words to that effect. Captain Fellowes bowed and re-
tired. Wo hear there are only three officers of ours
a.ive in their hands. To-morrow will tell more.
THE CAVALRY-THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S DESPATCH.
Today our cavalry abandoned their old camp. They
have taken up ground on the hills on the road to Bala.
klava, close to the rear of the French centre. We have
thus abandoned the lower road to the enemy ; and there
is a rumour that two of our officers, coming, out to-night
from Balaklava, on the lower road, in ignorance of this
withdrawal, have been taken prisoners. To-day
1,600 Turks arrived. They are to be used in assist-
ing us and the French in the trenches. Our cavalry,
I am glad to say, have not been cut up as much
as was supposed, for many of them have turned
up since the 25th. The way in which the stampedo
among the Russian horses, on the night of the 27th, is
accounted for is, that a rocket was fired by us into their
cavalry camp, and that all the Russian horses broke
away. Many of them, accustomed to the station of the
monastery of St. George, galloped over in the direction
of our lines, and were captured. A well-written and
graceful despatch, received from the Duke of Newcastle,
has given great satisfaction to the officers and men of
our army. It does full justice to their noble courage at
the Alma, singles out Sir George Brown and Admiral
Lyons for special praise, and pays a courtly and honest
compliment to Lord Raglan. Our cavalry are now close
to the camp of the Chasseur d'Afrique, and the men fra-
ternise as much as they possibly can, through the mode-
rate medium of water and wood—our two great luxuries
and necessaries out here just at present. ,
We are expecting great supplies of coal front Hera-
clea. It will soon be indispensable, for the trees and
shrubs in the valleys aro nearly all cut down. At pre-
sent we have coal enough to heat our shot, and make
them " red hot." Voila tout/ Lord Dunkellin has
been seat to Moscow on his way to St. Petersburg.
