THE BATTLE OF ALMA.

The following is an extract of a letter from an
officer of the Brigade of Guards :
CAMP NEAP. BALAKLAVA, Sept. 27.—You will
scarcely be more surprised than we are ourselves at
the English army being here, in possession of a
perfect seaport and new basis of operations for both
armies. On leaving the hiVOuac south of the ICatcha I
river, we marched to `ithe • river Belbeck, through
the village of the same name. It is extraordinary
that the Russians should not have attempted to
stop us at either place, for there are stronger posi-
tions oven than on the Alma; but the Russians are
s completely cowed by our, brilliant victory, in
which they own to a loss of 6,000 or .7,009 men,
that we may venture upon acts and movements.
that could not be done without madness under other
circumstances. As for their far-famed Cossack
cavalry, we have scarcely seen 100 of them. The
French admiration of our attack and advance in
line continues, and is only exceeded by the astonish-
ment of the. Russian officers, prisoners, whom we
have since seen. A French officer remarked to me
two days. ago that it was troy ma jestueux: I
certainly do not wonder at the Russians not_ at-
tenipting to meet us on the open field, after seeing
how we could march againstthem in an intrenched
position. The battle-field was dreadful to walk
over in the evening and following day ; -battle!,
ended too late for us to remove even our own
wounded that day, -and the fearful spectacle of
heads blown off, shattered limbs, broken arms, the
groans and sighs of the wounded, altogether made
a scene I never wish to see again. I have a few
trophies in the shape of brass plates representing
the double eagle worn on the helmet of all regi-
ments of the line ; their 31st and 32d Regiments
were the two more immediately opposed to us.
"To continue our march. The day before yester-
day (Sept. 25), having had a-false alarm during the
night of an approach of the Cossacks, we were under
arms at 5 o'clock, ready for a move. A recon-
naissance was made towards the Inkerman Lights,
with the view of finding a crossing practicable for
the army. Colonel Alexander only found a single
causeway over a morass, and a bridge over the
river with a force on the opposite side. Lord Rag-
lan, with Sir. J. Burgoyne's advice, then deter-
mained upon one of the boldest link marches, per-
haps ever performed in the face of an enemy. The
whole country between the Belbeck and-the Teller-
naya, which runs into the Sebastopol inlet, is
covered with one uninterrupted extensive jungle or
forest, intersected by no road but that leading
towards Sebastopol, and another narrow one on
which it would have taken perhaps days for a large
army to advance. We received orders to march
south-south-east, through this forest, in order to
strike the high road from Simpheropol, nearKhutor
Mackenzie. Our guides led us in too southerly a
direction, towards the end of the valleys near the
Inkernaan Lights, upon which we had to make a
flank movement towards Khutor Mackenzie. The
wood was so thick that the men could hardly see
each other ; not only did men of the same brigade
get mixed together, bnt Highlanders and Gnarls,
Guards and line, formed for an hour an apparently -
inextricable mass of confusion. In the midst of it
we heard firing and several rounds of cannon in
Our front, just where we were wanted to go. We
continued our march, however, 'and soon found
that the cause of the firing was the Scots Greys,
and some of our artillery in advance coming upon
the. high road nearKhutor Mackenzie, where they
intercepted is Russian army of some say 15,000
men and a large convoy of provisions and ammuni-
tion. The party of Greys were only 20 strong, but
so cowed wore the Russians and taken by sunrise,
that half their army cut off towards Simpheropol,
the rest to Sebastopol. We all came out of tlle
wood about two or half-past two, at the very spot
whore this took place. Every waggon was de- I
stroyed, the flour given up to out men, powder
scattered, cartridges destroyed, camp equipments
thrown over thepreci pipes, clothing, accoutrementS,
barrels, and articles of every description strewn
along three miles of xoad, along which we marched
towards the bridge over the Tchernaya. The whole
appearance of the road was more like the result of
a battle than anything else. Their army, iu
short, was cut in two, • so divided that,
they must have spread terror and increased
the already great demoralisation of the Russian
forces, both in Sebastopol and in other parts
of the CriMea. After halting at this spot for an
hour and a half to rest the men after their fatiguing
forest march, we continued along the high road
to the bridge across the Tchernaya, a march of
six or seven miles further, leading to Balaklava,
and we reached our bivouac at half-past 8 p.m.,
having been under arms more than 14 hours. The
nett morning early we pushed on towards Bala-
! klava, and halted at the entrance of the pass. The
Rifles were sent forward to crown the -heights •on
each side of the bay, supported by a brigade of the
I Light Division ; on each side also; these again were
supported by the two brigades of the Ist:-Division,
the Guards going to. the right and the Grenadier
Guards taking possession of the village of Radakoi.
Hero they remained while the Rifles and Artillery
I attacked the • small -post,- -which is of • very little
strength—an old ruined Genoese . castle. A few
shells soon brought them to reason, and the white
flag was hoisted. Lord Raglan had a. very narrow
escape, for on, first turning au angle of the road
with all his staff, a shell from the fort'flew among
them and wounded one of the staff. When this •
little affair was settled, the troops retired, except
two companies of the Grenadier Guards, who were
sent to protect the houses of the inhabitants and
small town of Balaklava. So little did the Rus-
sians expect us, that the wives and children of
many officers who are. in Sebastopel had gone there
for safety. The harbour is quite landlocked, with
rocky and very precipitous hills on each side, but
so deep that even the Agamemnon steamed in this
• morning.
• " When we were at our Belbeck bivouac, and it
was decided we should come on and take this place,
young Maxse was sent back to the mouth of the
Katcha, where the fleet was lying. Having to ride
through the country which we had crossed, he only
toolca verbal message from Lord Raglan, for fear
of his falling into the hands of the Cossacks. He
reached the fleet at 4 yesterday morning, and
before 12 the •fleet was off Balaklava.

BALAKLAVA, Sept. 28.
My Lord Duke,--1 have the greatest satisfaction
in acquaintineyour grace that the army under my
command obtained, possession of this important
place on the 26th instant, and thus established a
new and secure base for our future operations.
The Allied Armies quitted their position above
the Alma on the morning of tho 23d, and moved
across the Katcha, where they halted for the
night, and on the following day passed the Belbeck.
It then appeared that the (mealy had established
a work, which commanded the entrance of the
river, and debarred its use for the disembarkation
of troops, provision, and Materiel ; and it became
expedient to
,consider whether the lino of attack
upon the ,north side should not be abandoned, and
another course of operation adopted..
It having, after due deliberation, been deter-
mined by Marshal St.'Arnaud and myself, that we
should relinquish our communication with the
Katcha, and the hop© of establishing it by the
Belbeckvand endeavour by a flank march to the
left to .go round Sebastopol and • seize Balaklava,
the mevement..was commenced on the 25th, and
completed Onthe following day by the capture of
this place by her Majesty's troops, which led the ad-
vance. The march Was attended with great diffi-
culties: On leaving the high road from the Belbeck
'to , Sebastopol, the Army had to traverse a dense
wood, in whiCh there was but one road that led in
the direction it was necessary to take. That road
was left in the first instance •to the Cavalry and Ar-
tillery and the divisions were ordered to march by
compass and make a way for themselves as well as
they could ; and, indeed, the Artillery of the Light
Division Pursued the same course as king. as it was
found to be possible, but, as the wood became more
impracticable; the batteries could slot proceed other-
Wise than by getting into the road above men-

tinned.
The head-quarters of the Army, followed by seve-
ral batteries of 'Artillery, were the first to clear the
forest, near what is called, in Major Jarvis's map,
Mackenzie's Farm, and at once found themselves on
the flank and rear of a Russian division, on the march
to Bashi-Serai.
:This was attacked as soon as the cavalry, which
had diverged 'a little
,into a bye and intricate path,
could be brought up. A vast- quantity of ammu-
nition and much valuable baggage fell into our
hands, and the pursuit was discontinued after about
a mile and a half, it being a great object to reach the
Tochernaya that evening.
The Russians lost a few men, and some prisoners
were. taken, amongst whom was a Captain of
,Artillery.
The march was then resumed by the descent of
a steep and difficult defile into the plains, through
which runs the Tichernaya river, and this the
cavalry succeeded in reaching shortly before dark,
followed in the course of the night by the Light,
-Pint, Second, -and Third Divisions ; the Fourth
Division having been left on the heights above the
Belbeck till the following day, to maintain our com-
munication with the Katcha.
. This march, which took the enemy quite by sur-
prise, was a very long and toilsome one, and, ex-
cept . at M.ackenzie's Farm, where two wells, yield-
ing a scanty supply, Were found, the troops were
without water, but they supported their fatigues
-and privations with the utmost cheerfulness, and
resumed their march to this plaCe on the morning
of the 26th.
As they approached Balaklava nothing indicated
that it -was held in force ; but as resistance was
offered to the advance of the Rifle Brigade, and
guns were opened from an old" castle, as the head
of the column showed itself on .the road leading 1 There is this very peculiar feature about the

of the Russians were shot it three or four places ;
few of them had only one w mind. They seemed to
hare a general idea that they would be murdered :
possibly they had been told that no quarter would
be given, and several deplorable events took place in
consequence. As our me.a were passing by two or
three of them were shot or stabbed by
men lying
en the ground, and the cry wa raised that " the
wounded RuSsians" were firing on our men.
It was a terrible and sickening sight to go over
the battle-field.. Till deprived of my horse by a
chance shot, I rode about to ascertain, as far as
possible, the loss of our friends, and in doing so I
was often brought to a standstill by the difficulty of
getting through the piles of wounded Russians,
mingled too often. with our own poor soldiers. The
hills of Greenwich park, in fair time are not more
densely covered with human-beings than were the
heights of the Alma with dead and dying. On
these bloody mounds 2,10 English Officers and
men, and upwards of 3,000 Russians, while 'their
western extremity was coVerecl with the bodies of
1,400 gallant Frenchmani and of more than 3,000
of their foes. . •
The attitudes of some of the dead were awful.

the arms extended in the form of taking aim, the
brow compressed, the lips clenched—the very ex-
pression of firing at an u lemy stamped on the face
and fixed there by dead It; a ball had struck this
man in the • neck. Pirersiologiste or anatomists
must settle the rest. Anc Cher- was lying on his
back with the same expression, and his arms raised
in a similar attitude, the Minio musket still grasped
in his hands undischarged. Another lay in a per-
fect arch, his head reacting on one part of the
ground and his feet ou the other, but the back
raised high above it. Many men without legs or
arms were trying to crawl down to the waterside.
Some of the dead lay with a calm, placid smile on
the face, as thOugh they were in some delicious
dream.

SCUTARI, Sept. 28.--Wo have got to Scutari at
last, but I thought we should not have brought
any men at all, as the men kept during the voyage
quickly dying of, their wounds ; there were only
three surgeons on board to dress and look after
600 men. My dear fellow, E, ngland has a great
deal to answer for, in not ;►aving sufficient medical
men to attend the wounded soldiers who risked
their lives and bled for their country's honour. I
never had my arm looked at by a doctor from the
day I received the wound till yesterday ; but,
thank God, from previous experience, I was able
to look after it myself, and the wounds of others
also. During our stay on 'board the ship many a
bright man lost his life through want of medical
attendance ; we throw about 80 or 100 overboard
coming down the Black Sea, but it is just as bad at
Scutari. We 'disembarked on the 26th, and we
have had.meither tea, rations, nor anything except
lb. of bread.

There was a'draft of 300 men to have sailed to-
day for the Crimea, but it was countermanded. I
heir there are no more troops wanted in the
Crimea, as SebastOpoi is all but down, but I cannot
vouch for the truth of it. . ,

We lost abo.ut 168 in oar regiment, and. the Bri-
tish army about 1,200 or 1,300 altogether. Give
my love to all, and God bless you. • Good bye.

froth 18 feet to 50 ; the prices varying'from 301. to 751.
Altogether about 150 ..plote have been taken by the

THE BATTLE OF THE ALMA.—We have seen two let-
ters from privates in the 42d, describing their passage of
the' Alma and carrying the Russian entrenchments—
bloody details truly ; but every man seems to have been
struggling to be the first on the heights. As for any
idea of being driven back or being beaten, nothing of the
kind ever appears to have been thought of. French
and English vied with each other, to the dismay and
terror of the common foe.
