BEALTII OF THE TROOPS BEFORE

SEBASTOPQL.

The French Minister of War has received from
Doctor Michel Levy, the medical inspector to the
army of the East, the following letter :

"Before Sebastopol, Oct. 27.

"Monsieur le Marechal, —The siege continues with
vigour; nevertheless, the daily number of the wounded is
not considerable it varies between 16 and 22, that of the
killed between 6 and 8. From the commencement of
the Liege to the 23d of October, the total number of the
wounded, including the cases of simple contusions and
slight wounds that aro the more numerous of the two,
amoants to 718 ; that of the killed to 93.
"On the 25th, 320 patients were draughted off to Con-
stantinople, and there remain up to this day 1,003 patients
in the ambulances ; out of this number, only 137 are
wounded. Thus the medical service is more important,
even under the fire of the Sebastopol batteries, than the
service of the surgeon. I have visited those ill, each in suc-
cession, and I have ascertained :—That one-third only are of
a grave nature ; that the t o remaining thirds are men in a
weak state, and perfectly certain of being cured in a short
time. The General-in-Chief has ordered the requisite
measures for improving, as much as possible, the position
of our sick; the wounded Turks are tended in our ambu-
lances.

" I visit the ambulance at the trenches as often as possi-
ble. It is attended in turn by the health officers of the
various ambulances of the army. This service, which is
not without danger, is a post of honour, and a bloody
school of military surgery. Our wounded, and those
operated upon, continue to exhibit a remarkable pro-
portion of cures, thanks to the attention they have
lavished on theut, -and to the talent of the operators,
among whom Messrs. Scrive, Thomas, Marmy, Goaury,
Secourgeon, Perier, Bourguillon, Colmant, &c., are dis-
tinguished.
..

"Never did army receive more prompt and methodical,
more complete and assiduous, attention from its phy-
sicians and surgeons. Before Sebastopol, as at Constan-
tinople, a group of talented men labour for the good of the
sick and wounded. Ambulances stationed on the table-
lands overlooking Sebastopol, amid the roar of artillery,
recall by their regularity and the good order prevailing in
and around, the best types of these flying establishments.
" Not one single case of cholera nor of lock-jaw has
taken place as yet among the wounded. The internal
maladies are cases of diarrhoea, of dysentery not very
violent, of slight intermittent fevers, and of gastric
fevers some of them being accompaniedwith cerebral symp•
toms ; the cold of the night has produced a few instances
of bronchitis. In the navy there have been from five to
six hundred scorbutic attacks, and those most severely
affected have been lauded. There is nothing of the sort
in the army and the daily distribution of fresh bread,
the very frequent distributions of fresh meat, remove all
further danger from this manifestation. The spirit of
the army is well calculated to keep scurvy at a dis-
tance. Notwithstanding the night duties in the trenches
and certain privations, the soldier preserves his ala-
crity. The General-in-Chief is indefatigable in evincing
his anxiety on their account, and the certainty of speedy
triumph is also an element in the preservation of health.
" I have the honour to be, &c.,
(Signed) "Dr. MICHEL LEVY."

RUSSIAN NEWS FROM THE CRIMEA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 3.
The following was issued yesterday in an Extra
ordinary Supplement of tho Invalide Russe :

" In order to complete the hasty narrative of Oct. 25,
we (Invalide Russe) give lower down the detailed report
of General Liprandi, chief of the 12th division of infantry,
respecting the same affair. Together with this report,
which was transmitted to him by A. D. C. General Prince
Menschikoff, H.M. the Emperor received the Turkish flag
and pennon, of which mention is made therein.

" From the 25th to the 27th inclusive, the enemy under-
took nothing against the position occupied in his rear by
the detachment of Lieutenant-General Liprandi. During
these same days, the fire of the English batteries against
Sebastopol had been much weaker than on the preceding
days. The French batteries still kept up a tolerably heavy
canronade, but, as before, did not inflict on us any impor-
tant damage. Our artillery replied with such success, that
a now battery raised on the 23d by the French, at about,
200 sagenes (1,400 feet) from the bastion No. 4, and in-
tended to hold about 30 gun-, could not be armed before
the 27th, in consequence of the murderous fire of grapo
from the said bastion.

GENERAL LIPRANDI'S ACCOUNT OF THE
FIGHTING.

"According to the orders of your Highness, the troops
of the division confided to my command, together with
those attached to it, executed, on the 25th of October, a
general movement in advance from the village of Teller-
goun, and attacked the fortifications of the heights that
form the valley of Kadykol.
" In conformity with the disposition I had made the
evening before for this day, all the troops of the detach-
ment left the village of Tehorgotin at five o'clock in the
morning, by two defiles. The regiment of the Ukraine chas-
seurs, under tho command of Major-General Levouteky,
marched through the main defile leading from Tchorgonn to
liadykoi, with four guns of the heavy gun battery, No. 4, and
six guns of the light battery No. 7. These troops advanced‘
with precision, and on approaching the heights of Kady-
koi opened their fire against the redoubts Nos. 1 and 2 ;
after them, the Azoff regiment of foot, the 4th battalion
of the Dnieper Regiment, with four guns of the battery
of position No. 4, and six guns of the light battery No. 6,
moved on under the command of Major-General Semiakine.
Along the second defile, leading to the valley of Baidar, ad-
vanced, under the command of Major-General Gribbe, the
first three battalions of the Dnieper Regiment of foot, with
six guns of tho light battery No. 6, fourguns of the battery of
position No. 4, a sotnia of the regiment No. 53 of the Don
Cossacks, and a squadron of the combined regiment of lan-
cers. Major-General Gribbe, advancing, occupied the village
of Kamari, after sending the sotnia of Cossacks in the direc-
tion of the valley of Baidar. Simultaneously with this
movement, Major-General Semiakine went into position
to the left of the Ukraine regiment, under cover of
the fire of the artillery and of a train of sharpshooters,
formed by the second company of the Rifle battalion,
with the men armed with rifles belonging to the
Azoff regiment, and ad ranced rapidly with this latter
regiment in two lines by columns of companies, with no
more than a distance of 100 paces between the lines. The
3d line was formed by the Ist battalion of the Azoff regi-
ment, and the 4th battalion of the Dnieper regiment, in
attacking columns. Having approached within a distance
of not more than 150 paces the fortified height of the
enemy, Major-General Semiakine ordered the assault. The
companies threw themselves forward, and by half-past
seven o'clock the Azoff regiment had planted its colours on
the fortifications. The trophies at this spot wero three
rampart guns and a camp. In this redoubt the loss of the
enemy in killed alone was more than 170 men.
"At the same time the enemy, seeing the rapidity with
which the principal height had been occupied, and also
seeing the Ukraine regiment of chasseurs advance, aban-
doned the redoubts Nos. 2 and 3 (the former armed with
two guns and the latter with three), which were imme-
diately occupied by our troops. The Odessa regiment of
chasseurs, with the light battery No. 7, under the com-
mand of Colonel Scuderi, marched up to the redoubt No.
1; but the terrified enemy at this spot also did not wait
for our attack, and abandoned the redoubt, in which there
were three guns. Moreover, in all the redoubts the enemy
left his tents, powder magazines, and engineering tools.
" Immediately after the taking of the redoubts, I or•
dered the troops to establish themselves in them. I had
the redoubt No. 4 razed immediately, because it was too
far in advance, and T ordered the guns in it to be spiked,
the wheels of their carriages to be broken up, and the frag-
ments thrown down the mountain. When these orders
were executed, the troops that had occupied this redoubt
joined the general line of the other corps.
"The hussar brigade of the 6th Light Cavalry division,
under the command of Lieut.-General Ryjoff, who accom-
panied the detachment was posted_ ()lithe right wing ofour
general line of battle, with the light horse battery No. 12,
and the Cossack battery of position No. 3. During the
forward movement of the troops the artillery of the Don
was brought rapidly up in front, and, being placed in posi-
tion, contributed by its well-directed fire to the success of
the general attack.
" When all the redoubts had been occupied, I sent on
the cavalry, with the regiment No. 1 of the Ural Cossacks,
and three sotnias of the regiment No. 53 of the Don Cos-
sacks, towards the enemy's camp, situated on the other
side of the mountains. Our cavalry advanced rapidly as
far as the camp itself ; but, received by a flank fire from
the enemy's sharpshooters, and In front by the English
cavalry, it was obliged to halt. After that it resumed its
first position on the right wing of the general order of
battle, taking up a patibulated form behind.
" Then Major-General Jabokritsky, with a detachment
of the Vladimir Regiment of Foot (three battalions), and
that of Souzdal, ten guns of the battery of position No. 1,
four guns of the light battery No. 2 of the 16th brigade of
artillry, two companies of the rifle battalion, No. 6, two
squadrons of the Hussar regiment of the Grand Duke of
Saxe Weimar, and two sotnias of the regiment No. 60 of
Popoff's Cossacks, marched to the heights on the right of
our cavalry, and occupied them.
" Hardly had our cavalry had time to form in battle
array beyond the right flank of our infantry, when, from
the other side of the mountain, where the redoubt No.
4 was, the English cavalry appeared 2,000 strong. Its
impetuous attack induced Lieutenant-General Ryjoff to
fall back on the road to Tchorgoun, in order to draw on
the enemy. At the s :me time I sent forward towards my
right wing the combined regiment of Lancers under
the command of Colonel Yeropkine, which had arrived
from Baidar, and joined the detachment of Major-Gene-
ral Gribbe, and I ordered this regiment to station itself
behind the infantry in a covered place. The enemy
made a most determined charge, and, notwithstanding
the well-directed fire of grape from 6 pieces of the light
battery No. 7, and that of the men armed with rifles be-
longing to the Odessa regiment of chasseurs, and of a com-
pany of the 4th battalion of rifles at the right wing, as
likewise the fire from a part of the artillery of Major-
General Jabokritsky's detachment, ho dashed at our
cavalry. But at this moment three squadrons of the
combined regiment of Lancers attacked him in the flank.
Thisunexpected charge, executed with precieion and vigour,
met with brilliant success• the whole of the enemy's cavalry
was dashed lieaddog baciiu disorder, pursued 1:17 our Lan-,
•

cers, and harassed by the fire of tho batteries. In this at-
tack the enemy had more than 400 men killed, GO wounded
men were picked up from off the field of battle, and
we made 22 prisoners, one of whom was a superior officer.
"A French squadron of African horse chasseurs charged
the detachment of Major-General Jabokritsky. Having
turned the left flank of the battery of position, it forced
its way as far as this battery through the chain of sharp-
shooters, and began to cut down the artillerymen.
Other squadrons followed close behind it. Then, two
battalions of the Vladimir regiment, under the com-
mand of Major-General Jabokritsky in person, charged
with the bayonet, and compelled the enemy's cavalry to
fall back, when it was pursued to the very foot of the
mountain by the well-directed fire of the foot Cossacks of
the Black Sea, who were armed with rifles, and by that
of the sharpshooters. More than ten dead bodies and
several horses remained on the field, we made three pri-
soners, and the officer who had commanded the attack
was killed.

" Observing that the enemy was beginning again to
bring up fresh troops to his left wing, I strengthened my
right wing, and arranged all the troops of my detachment
in the following order :
" A battalion of the Dnieper Regiment occupied
the village of Kamary ; the Azoff regiment of in-
fantry, and the Ist battalion of the Dnieper regiment
were charged with the defence of the redoubt No. 1 ;
battalion of the Ukraine regiment of chasseurs was left in
the redoubt No. 2, and another battalion of the same regi-
ment in that of No. 3, near which were likewise placed
the Odessa regiment of chasseurs, two battalions of the
Dnieper regiment, and one battalion of that of the Ukraine
chasseurs. All the artillery was placed in advantageous
positions ; the cavalry remained as before on tho right
flank of the infantry; nevertheless, the enemy made no
fresh attack, and ceased its cannonade at four o'clock in the
afternoon.

" In the storming of so strong a position, I consider our
loss in infantry to be very insignificant ; that in the ca-
valry was more important. The annexed list has been
rapidly drawn up concerning this subject.*
" I am indebted for the success of this day to the zeal
and skilful dispositions of the respective chiefs, as likewse
to the courage and ardour of all the troops. More parti-
cularly Major-General Semiakine, chief of the Ist brigade
of the division entrusted to my command, and, under his
orders, Colonel Krudener, commanding the Azoff regiment
of foot, who were ordered to attack the strongest redoubt
No. 1, situated on a very steep height, personally set an ex-
ample of courage and military skill. The attack by the
Azoff regiment of foot was made with boldness, celerity,
and decision. The 2d company of the 4th battalion of
rifles, under the command of Second Captain Kalakoutsky;
6 guns of the light battery No. 6, under the command of
Lieut.-Colonel Afanassief ; and 4 guns of the battery of
position No. 4, commanded by Lieut. Posnikoff, which
accompanied this column, acted with precision and celerity
thereby contributing to the taking of the height.
"When the enemy's cavalry charged, and while we were
repulsing it, eight guns of the light battery No. 7, which
were near the Odessa regiment of chasseurs, and which
were directed by Captain Bojanoff in command of the bat-
tery, inflicted very severe loss on the enemy's cavalry by
the precision of their grape-fire.
"All the operations by the artillery of the 12th brigade
of this arm, directed by Colonel Nemoff, commander of the
brigade, were crowned with brilliant success.
" Staff Colonel Guersivanoff, and the A.D.C. of your
Highness, Baron Willebrandt, whom your Highness sent
to me, and who were at my side during the whole com-
bat, have rendered me very useful assistance, transmitting
with the greatest exactness all my orders to the troops that
were in the first line.

" With the present report, I have the honour of present-
ing to your Highness the Turkish flag and pennon taken
in redoubt No. 1."

* This list contains 6 officers and subalterns, and 232 men
killed; 1 general, 19 superior officers and subalterns, and 292
men wounded.

THE FRENCH FUNDS.

From a leter dated Paris, Saturday evening, we extract
the following :—" There has been a further fall to-day. It
must not, however, be imagined that the fear of adverse
news from the Crimea is the sole cause of the decline.
The numerous party whose profit depends on a fall,
seize the opportunity of the general agitation to
circulate reports of the most alarming description ;
and unfortunately they find the public but too credulous.
At one moment we hear that the French Treasury is au
sec, and that the Government is on the eve of contracting
a loan of 600 millions of francs ; at another, we are told
of an extraordinary levy of 150,000 men ; and a third
group of alarmists dwell on the critical situatimp of
the Allies, in consequence of the numerous reinforce-
ments advancing in aid of Prince Menschikoff. It need
scarcely be said that the object of circulating these
rumours is simply to produce a panic. It is very probable
that the French Government will soon require to raise ex-
traordinary supplies, but the fact is foreseen, and the rea-
son being obvious, it creates neither surprise nor alarm.
As to the calling out of troops, I believe that there is no-
thing yet determined on, but still the fact is exceedingly
probable, for the French army is not yet on what is consi-
dered a war footing."

COMPULSORY PRE-PAYMENT OF LETTERS
AND NEWSPAPERS FOR THE BRITISH
FORCES IN TURKEY AND THE BLACK SEA.

GENERAL POST-OFFICE, Nov., 1854.
Letters addressed to officers serving in the British
army or navy in Turkey or the Black Sea, the writers of
which have neglected to pay in advance the British and
French rates of postage chargeable for their conveyance
in the closed mails despatched from London on the 34,
9th, 13th, 19th, 23d, and 29th (or 30th) of every month,
have hitherto been forwarded by the French mail packets
with the ordinary unpaid correspondence for Constan-
tinople:

Much difficulty, however, having been experienced
in the delivery of those letters, arid in the collection of
the postage to which they are liable, no letters addressed
to the army or navy in Turkey or the Black Sea will
hereafter be sent from this country, unless the postage
be paid in advance.

Letters posted unpaid will be opened and returnoi to
the writers.

The following are the combined British and French
rates of postage chargeable upon this correspondence
" For a letter, addressed to an officer in the British
army or navy, or to a non-commissioned officer or private
soldier or seaman in Turkey or the Black Sea
Weiging under 4 ounce, 3d.
Weighing 4 oz. and under 1 oz., 6d.
Exceeding oz. and not exceeding 1 oz., ls.
Exceeding I oz. and not exceeding 2 oz;., Is. 2d.
Exceeding 2 ozs. and not exceeding 3 ozs., ls. 4d.
Exceeding 3 ozs. and under 3?.; ozs., is. 6d.
Exceeding 31 ozs. and not exceeding 4 ozs., 2s. 4d.
And so on, adding 2d. British for each additional
ounce, and 10d. French postage for every 31 ounces.
The existing regulations which have been already no-
tified to the public require that postage, at the rate of Two
Pence for each Paper, should be paid in advance upon
Newspapers addressed to the Army or Navy in Turkey
or the Black Sea ; but, as many newspapers so addressed
continue to be posted unpaid, particular attention is
called to the circumstance that, in all cases where the
requisite amount of postage is not prepaid, the news-
papers, instead of being sent forward in the closed
mails via Marseilles are detained in this country, until
an opportunity offers of despatching them by a ship of
war or other ship in the service of her Majesty.

The Countess Annesley left the Cottage, Castlewellan,
on Friday, for London.
The Hon. Charles Murray, C. 8., the new minister to
the Shah of Persia, is expected to leave town at the
close of the week, via the overland route, to assume Ins
diplomatic duties at Teheran. The new envoy has had
several conferences with Lord Aberdeen and Lord Cla•
rendon during the last few days.
The youthful Lord Walter M. Scott, at the date of the
last letters from his lordship, was quite well, and doing
duty with his regiment, the 52d Light Infantry, in
Bengal. Lord Henry Scott is ea route to Upper Egypt
for the winter.
DEPARTURE OF THE CANADA.—On Saturday, at noon,
the British and North American Royal Mail steam•ship
Canada, Captain James Stone, sailed from the Mersey,
for Boston and Halifax, with the usual mails for the
United States and British North American possessions,
121 passengers, and a full cargo of merchandise on
freight.
THE MISSING DESPATCHES.—The despatches were,
it now appears, lost at Lyons by Lieutenant Henderson.

. _
INCREASE TO THE MlLlTlA.—instructions will be
immediately sent from the Home-office for the embodi-
ment for permanent service of either seven or eight
additional regiments of English militia. There are al-
ready eighteen regiments embodied, and the additional
force will render available for active service, if neces-
sary, a number of efficient regiments of the line now in
the Mediterranean.

Mn. RUSKIN ON DECORATIVE ART. —On Saturday
Mr. Ruskin delivered an interesting lecture on the sub-
ject of coloured decoration—the first of a series—in the
rooms of the Architectural Museum, Cannon-row, West-
minster. _ _

THE SURMAN TESTIMONIAL—We observe that the
approaching meeting of the London Sacred Harmonic
Society is to be distinguished by the presentation of a
testimonial to Mr. &man, the gentleman who has been
the conductor to the society from its commencement,
and who for many years was the conductor of a kindred
society, whose concerts are also held in Exeter-hall.
STATE OF THIS SICK AT SCUTARI.—The number of
sick and wounded in the hospital at Scutari, on the
25th of October, was 2,339 ; and it was reported officially
that the cases were-in general going on most satisfac-
torily.
MISS CUSHMAN AT SHEFFIELD.—A few evexings
ago, the play-going people of Sheffield enjoyed the high
gratification of seeing Miss Cushman perform her great
character of Meg Merrilees, in the play of Guy Man-
nering. The house was crowded in
,all parts. The
Sheffield papers say, " Miss Cushman 8 performance is
beyond criticism."
LORD PROVOST OF EDINBURGIL—Mr. John Melville,
writer to the signet, was on Friday last elected Lord
Provost of the city of Edinburgh. Mr. Melville is a
gentleman of moderate Liberal politics, and a member
of the Free Church. He has served in the Town Coun-
cil for a:number of years, and was for two years in the
magistracy.
THE TRANSPORT OF WOUNDED TO SCUTARI.—The
story about 1,500 men having been "huddled on board"
the Kangaroo transport, where " hundreds died," turns
out to be a misrepresentation. We have received letters
which prove that the deaths on board the Kangaroo,
and another transport towed by her, did not exceed 35,
out of a total strength of SOO, not 1,500 ; and that the
deaths were not from wounds, but from cholera ; and
the men would most likely hare died on shore bad they
been left behind.—Medical Times and Gazette.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday
were estimated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, in-
cluding 500 American, taken on speculation. The
market closed heavily with but little change in
prices. The sales comprised 50 Pernam and Ma-
ranham at 61d., 500 Egyptian at 5/d. to 9d.; 800
Surat at 31d. to 3id., 100 Sea Island at 9d. to is.
3d. and the remainder American. Railway Shares
were very depressed.
The price of wheat in Mark Lane was 3s. to 4s.
per quarter higher than on Monday last.
The accounts from New York record a diMinu-
tion in the shipments of specie during the week to
Oct. 27, the amount exported being 152,817 dols.
This, together with the value of the merchandise
shipped, was 1,395,021 dols. Notwithstanding this
falling off, this total is very little below the value
of the imports during the same period. The
foreign trade was limited, and if it continued so for
a few weeks, the old stocks would nearly be
cleared from the markets. The market for
" fancy" securities was depressed, and money
tight, owing to the contraction on the part of the
banks. Breadstuffs were rather lower, and
freights firm.
In a statement from Berlin, a rumour is men-
tioned that the Government was about to exercise
its powers for taking up the second portion of the
loan, 15,000,000 dollars. As, however, then, are
said to be 10,000,000 dollars of the first portion of
the loan still unappropriated, the rumour is be=
lieved to be premature.
Hamburg accounts affirm that the best under-
standing existed between Russia and Prussia, and
that the Cossack detachments stationed on the
side of Tilsit to suppress contraband had been
withdrawn, and replaced merely by a few hussars.
The postal service between the Aland Islands
and Finland was re-established on the 28th ultimo,
and a large quantity of staples much required was
being introduced. The Russian authorities had not
re-established themselves at Bomarsund, but
notice had been given that the civil authorities
were about to return.

The English funds have been very buoyant; and
have recovered, almost entirely, the severe depres-
sion of Saturday, occasioned by the new version of
the affair of the loth ult. The intelligence this
morning received of the important victory by the
Allies has given a great stimulus to the market.

- In Foreign Securities there has not been much
activity, but the tone is a little firmer. The Com-
mittee of Peruvian Bondholders have this after-
noon an appointment with the British Minister for
Foreign Affairs upon the subject of their claims,
the greatest promptitude having been evinced in
granting the interview. Mexican Stock has been

have recovered a little also.

Gold Mine Shares have been firm, the Joint
