LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1854.

The Crimea ought evidently, in prudence, to
be effectually cut off from the chance of any com-
munication with the European continent—before
the fleets and armies of the Allies adventure upon
any grand attack, simultaneously by sea and land,
upon Sebastopol. That is perfectly obvious. And
it is worthy of remembrance that it is a prelimi-
nary movement, not only perfectly obvious in its
advisability, but demonstrably feasible in its
realisation.

The Crimea might be cut off from the possibility
of further communication with the Continent—by
our landing a body of the Anglo-French troops to
the north-west, hard by the narrow isthmus con-
necting the Crimea with the mainland, and thereby
giving it, indeed, the character of a peninsula—and
by our landing at the same time another body of
the Anglo-French soldiers to the north-east above
Anapa, in fact somewhere upon the shores of the
Strait of Enikale. By accomplishing this, the
Crimea would be at once completely insulated.
Already the latter part of the difficulty appears
to have been overcome by means of the timely
enterprise effected by landing 5,000 troops near
Anapa under the joint direction of Generals
BROWN O.IIVVROBERT. There is left, conse-
quently, the other preparatory step to be taken,
namely, the.4nding of some 5,000 more, at least,
hard
extpt:hmus of Perecop. "Perecop
is the ,partiekirtif the Crimea," says DEXIDOFF—
`! it is to entrance-gate to the government of
Taurida." That portal must be closed. That
important gate {must
coded. What i4'' of be successfully barri-
extraordinary interest to
know now—and it is known for certain--is that
the occupation of the Isthmus and village of Pere-
cop might be readily accomplished. With our
gigantic fleets and immense disposable land forces
in the Black Sea, we might easily transport to the
appointed locality a sufficient number of men to
take up there at once a very formidable and. secure
position. It may be objected, that, according to
the account given by certain travellers, the place
is singularly unhealthy, the half-putrid and vis-
cous sea in its immediate neighbourhood, the sea
of Azof, " constantly heated to the very bottom
forth, say some of these
of its slimy bed," giving
writers, "a miasma injurious to the quality of
the surrounding atmosphere." But—mark this !
au important exception--M. MONTANDON asserts,
in spite of every contrary rumour and prejudice,
that Perecop is not merely a healthy spot, but a
`` particularly" healthy spot. Whatevel• the
sanitary state of that point on the coast of the
of -I"ot—thither our efforts ought in simple
precaution, and as constituting an absolutely no-
cesaary preliminary, to be directed, if we sincerely
propose to strike a blow in that direction at the
pride and power of the Russian AUTOCRAT.
A position fairly established at Anapa—and
another position firmly taken up at Perecop—and
the Crimea would, so far at least, be at the mercy
of the Allies, who might then take into cousidera-
