THE ROYAL ALBERT.
The Royal Albert, 121, screw three-decker, Captain
Sir Thomas Pasley, Dart., is ordered from Sheerness to
Portsmouth with all possible despatch. The better to
expedite her a party of 60 able seatnex, from the Nep-
tune, 120, and Prince Regent, 90, under the direction of
Lieutenants Thomas Brandreth and R. J. Wynniatt, of
those ships, were despatched from Portsmouth yester-
day to Sheerness, to assist in navigating the Royal Al-
bert to Spithead, she being shorthanded of A.B.'s.
Orders were received at the same time at Portsmouth
to prepare bedding, hammocks, &c., for 2,000 men, as
the steam three-decker is about ;to carry a battalion of
Foot Guards and the whole of their equipments to the
seat of war in the Crimea, together with a large supply
of warlike stores. Her crew will be made up to 1.000
men by draughts, it is reported, before starting. When
out she will take the flag of the Commander-in-Chief.
The Monarch, 84, sailing ship, the Hon. Captain
Erskine, was ordered yesterday afternoon to come into
harbour. She will take some of her guns out to lighten
her before coming in.
The crew of the Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, were
paid wages at Spithead yesterday.
Her Majesty's ship Salamander, 6, steam•sloop, Com-
mander Priest, arrived at Spithead from Greenock last
night, and is ordered into harbour to be paid off.

THE CHARGE AT B.ALAKLAVA.

(From the Constitutionri,el.)
"We have placed before our readers the report of
General Canrobert, relative to the combats of October
25 and 26. We think that in addition the reports of
the English generals concerning the same affairs will
be read with interest. The perusal of these reports,
which are as clear as they are detailed, shows how much
General Liprandi, in giving an account of his operations
to the Czar, had exaggerated the advantages which he
had obtained. It is quite true that the Russians
remained in possession of two of the batteries which
they had taken from the Turks ; but if they have
kept them, it is solely because the English have
not made any effort to dislodge the enemy from
positions which are without any military im-
portance. As to the points which it was essen-
tial to preserve, the Russians were immediately
driven from them, and with a considerable loss. That
brilliant day would have cost the English but a very
small number of men, had it not been for a fault or a
mistake on the part of the officer in command of the
English cavalry. When the Russians were already in
full retreat, and had crossed the ravine which runs at
the foot of the English pesitioats, Lord Raglan sent to
Lord Lucan a general order to have the enemy pursued
by the brigade of light cavalry, and to prevent them, if
possible, from carrying off the guns abandoned by the
Turks. Whether this order was inexactly transmitted, or
was looked on as a positive order to charge, Lord Cardi-
gan's hussars dashed forward on the Russian army, which
they passed through almost entirely, and, carried on by
their irresistible impetuosity, they arrived as far as the
batteries which crowned the other side of the ravine, and
sabred the artillery men belonging to them. It was then
necessary to return under a fire of grape and musketry
which carried away whole ranks. If the Chasseurs
d'Airique had not by a happy diversion occupied the
attention of the enemy, or if the Russian cavalry had
ventured to charge in their turn that small body of in-
trepid men, not a single English hussar would have sur-
vived this heroic but imprudent attempt. It is to be de-
plored that the impetuosity of unreflecting valour should
have had for consequence this useless sacrifice of several
hundreds of brave soldiers. But, notwithstanding this
admirable and afflicting episode, nothing in the combats
of the 25th and 26th of October has been of a nature to
weaken the legitimate confidence of the Allies in the
success of their operations. That confidence will be
still more increased when the public shall he aware of
all the details of the battle of November 5."

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 13.—1 t is asserted this evening,
and not without foundation, that this Government
has despatched instructions to Counts Bernstorf and
Hatzfeldt to intimate to Lord Clarendon and M.
de Lhuys the desire of the Berlin Cabinet for nearer
approaehment towards those of France and London,
and for the resumption of more cordial relations ;
to assure them of its intention to maintain " the
most scrupulous neutrality," without favour or
affection on the one side or on the other ; and to
express hopes that their intentions will be appre-
ciated and respected.
The Stock Exchange was surprised this day by
order from the authorities forbidding the pub-
lic negotiation or quotation of the last Russian
loan. It is not pretended to say whether this
order results from a spontaneous desire on the
part of the Government to give proofs of its neu-
tral disposition, or whether it has resulted from
representations on the part of the British and
French Governments.

The Russian organ here prints in large type the
Russian telegraphic despatch, of the Gth, from Se-
bastopol, and then not only gives the extract from
the Moniteicr, containing General Canrobert's short
account of the same affair in small characters,
but adds remarks which tend to indicate that the
repulse was a mere ordinary retreat after a suc-
cessful sortie ; and further, that the great veracity
of all Russian reports entitles them to more credit
than those of the Allies. The Russian despatch
communicated to the Russian organ at this place
omits to mention the death of General Soimonoff,
commanding the 10th division of the fourth corps,
wh© was killed during the attack ; and the same
organcontradicts itself flatly by first saying that the
reinforcements of which Soimonoff's division forme
a part did not take part in the affair of the sth,
and then declaring that they could not fail to have
arrived on the 3d. When the detailed reports are
received, it will be seen that the two divisions of
the 4th corps (Soimonoff and Popoff) did arrive as
anticipated, and that it was in consequence of
having received these reinforcements that Menschi-
koff ordered his two sorties. The Russian organ,
in quoting the Al oniteur, places a mark of interro-
gation or query after the 9,000 Russians, said by
General Canrebert to have been put hors de combat.
London, England, 1854-11-16

THE RUSSIAN REPLY.

The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin 12th,
says :—" The Russian reply to the Prussian de-
spatch of the 23d ult. has been received. The
Russian Cabinet therein declares that it is ready
to discuss the four points, and appears inclined to
make use of the intervention of Prussia in the
event of such a discussion being desired by the ad-
verse party. It appears that in this affair Russia
renounces the good offices of Austria. Under all
cases the Austrian Government has not renounced
the idea of taking the initiative against Russia."

FRANCE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Moniteur of yesterday has the following pa-
ragraph in the column usually appropriated to late
news: - - -

dvices from Vienna of the 13th inform us that te-
legraphic communications via Kronstadt and Bucharest
are accidentally suspended in consequence of the breaking
of a wire. There is, therefore, nothing astonishing in
the fact that the news from the East, which we have
been accustomed to receive rather by this than by any
other line, should be subject to some delay until the re-
storation of the broken wire."
An Imperial decree opens to the Minister of Ma-
rine an extraordinary credit of 23,150,000 francs,
to be employed as follows :—Pay, 1,000,000 f.; pro-
visions, 5,000,000 f. ; workmen's wages, 600,000 f. ;
general stores, 16,000,000 f. ; freight, 100,000 f. ;
breakwater and arsenal of Cherburg, 400,000 f.
The regularisation of this credit will be applied for
to the Legislative Corps.
M. Borel de Bretizel, chief of the staff of the 6th
division of the army of the East, and several officers
of different branches of the army, left Marseilles on
the 12th in the Caire, bound to Constantinople. A
detachment of dragoons and one of the 4th regiment
of artillery also left by the same vessel. Two com-
panies of artillery, at present at Vienne, are about
to be sent to Lyons to receive new materiel prepaza7

A CIVILIAN'S ACCOUNT.

A private gentleman visiting the seat of war writes :
My preconceived and certainly crude notions of a great
siege and bombardment was that of unbroken peals of
thunder, rolling and roaring unceasingly around and over
a devoted city, until the vast mass of smoke which hitherto
had obscured everything, clearing airay by a cessation of
the fire, or some sweeping wind revealed a breach for an
assault, or the whole town in ruins. Anything but this—
the real thin;. Instead of the stunning thunder of artil-
lery, until a siege is raised or a city; razed, the whole ar-
rangements seem to have teen conducted much in the
formal and measured style of the Cliobham military thea-
tricals, hardly with so much spirit. IA number of separate
and independent shots from the batteries, varied by the
whirr of the shell or by the strange sound of the heavy
ball from the Lancaster gun, rattling through the air like
a distant railway train, but there is always time to connt
the shots, and, generally speaking, to see whence they
come and whether they go. There is a flash, a sound, a
volume of smoke in detached spots, nt most in half a dozen
places at once; but none of the din, roar•, cries, mist,
and confusion worse confounded, supposed to be the ne-
cessary accompaniment of a great, ..gloriouts, and bloody
war. Although lame with an attaide of erysipelas ia the
leg, I managed to get ones or twice to Lord Raglan's
viewing place, whence was a clear sight of the tewn, and
thus I saw and heard all I have described. A considera-
ble part of my time was unfortunately spent in lying on
my back in a tent in front of our lines, the balls and shells
whizzing about mo is every direotion, till, finding the
camp rather too hot to hold me, I left it at half-past six
a.m. on the 25th, in a commissariat cart for Balaklava.
Speaking of the charge, he says :—The Russians were now
within half a mile of the village and port of Balaklava, in
which all our transports were at anchor with their muni-
tions, their stores, and two ships laden with powder. It
was here that a large troop of their cavalry attempted to
charge past one of our regiments into the village. The
9311 Highlanders rose from the ground and poured in such
a volley as made them reel again in their saddles, they
again laid down, re-loaded, fired another volley, and the
whole troop turning to the right abort, galloped off. I
am assured that Balaklava would have been in possession
of the Russians had it not been for the cool bravery of
these men ; had they given an inch all would have been
up for the day. One amongst them seized a Turkish sol-
dier in his flight, threw him on the ground, and pnt his
foot on the gentleman's neck whilst he reloaded his piece.

THE PRUSSIAN BOTE.

A Berlin letter of the 11th, in the Gerntan, Journal
of Frankfort, says _ _ _

" The Prussian note which was despatched on the 23d
ult. to St. Petersburg recommended in the most pres-
sing manner the acceptance of the four guarantees, and
at the same time raised some objection against the con-
centration of Russian troops on the Austrian frontier.
It is said that M. de Budberg has warmly supported
this note, and some journals pretend that the result
has been certain provisional communications, expressing
the readiness of the Russian Cabinet to accept the
propositions of Prussia. It is impossible to form as
opinion of the signification of that communica-
tion until the diplomatic document be known which
contains the real reply of Russia. It would seem, how-
ever, that the hopes indulged is from the telegraphic
despatch go too far, since the general idea is that Russia
has no other intentions than to bring about negotiations,
and so escape from a definitive declaration. Numerous
details are also given relative to the negotitions pend-
ing between Austria and Prussia, and it is said that the
difficulties which subsisted between them have been
smoothed down ; but it results from these details that
the supposition is that previously Russia shall have ac•
cepted the propositions made to her. In fact, if Austria
declared herself satisfied with the four points after Russia
had accepted them, the Diet would declare that it ap-
proved of the entrance of the Austrians into the princi-
palities, and afterwards would premise its aid to Austria
in the principalities and elsewhere. Austria, it is said,
agrees on these points."

A SCANDINAVIAN FETE.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. s.—Yesterday Stockholm was the
scene of a festival, the day having been appointed for the
inauguration of the equestrian statue of the King's
father, the late monarch, Charles John. The crowd was
immense. The nobility and magistracy, the church,
army, people, in short all classes of society, were repre-
sented at this national solemnity, ever which the King
presided in person. Norway and all the Swedish pro-
vinces had sent their highest functionaries to the capital,
and detachments from all the regiments of our army
were to be seen on the square. In the first rank, the
place of honour, stood the veterans who had served under
the orders of the late King, and who wore on their
breasts the decorations won at the price of their blood.
In a gallery, erected at the side of the royal box, were
the members of the diplomatic corps now present at
Stockholm.
The statue is by Professor Fogelberg.
The following is the text of the speech delivered by the
King.
" Forty years have now elapsed since the force and
genius of King Charles John raised a monument, of
which the Scandinavian peninsula forms the solid basis,
and the vast dimensions of which know no limits, since
they depend on the progress made by the two fraternal
nations in the path of virtue and honour. The union
of Sweden and Norway has opened for the North a new
era, blessed hitherto by the fruits and benefits of peace.
Its future destinies are hidden from the gaze of mortals
and rest in the hands of the Almighty. May the two
nations, united by their anxiety for reciprocal prosperity,
by their sacrifices in behalf of their mutual glory, by
their valour in a common danger, show themselves to be
at all times worthy of a brilliant future. Then the free
destiny of Scandinavia will never cease to bear, in equal
abundance, the rich harvests of increasing prosperity and
imperishable laurels.

The memory of great men is perpetrated in the
annals of posterity, and obtains in them the most signal
homage ; but gratitude is the apanage of noble nations,
and this it is that assembles us this day. Our eyes are
about to be raised with emotion to the statue of the
King, whose reign, alike glorious and beneficent, will
always justify the beautiful motto, The people's love
my reward.

When the King ceased speaking, ine statue was un-
covered amid salvos of artillery, and a lung acclamation
saluted at the same time both the image of the father
and the admired oontimento of the son.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMIA.

We extract the following from a letter received
'rom Paris yesterday :

"It has been announced that Prince Menschikoff
was expecting numerous reinforceutents. It is more
than probable that he has received all that he
had calculated upon, and accounts front Odessa an-
nounce, in fact, that the passage of troops to the
Crimea had ceased for some days. Moreover, the
Russian army in the Crimea is necessarily in pro-
portion to the resources in food and munitions of
which it can dispose. It has not the sea. It must
bring thorn from the continent, by rontes scarcely pass-
able at this season, and which will soon become utterly
impracticable, all its necessaries. The climate menaces
that army, and if in any new attempt made in two days
after the combat on the sth it does not obtain signal
advantages (which is very doubtful) it must, under pain
of being exposed to the greatest privations, take refuge
iw Perekop, and pass the winter there in the most com-
plete inaction.
"Our army is in a far superior condition. With the
sea open to it it may constantly supply itself with
all its wants. It has at its disposal a powerful fleet,
which is at the same time an auxiliary for war and a means
of procuring supplies; and if the Black Sea enjoys a bad re-
putation,we have 200 steamers incessantly ploughing the
Euxine fromßalaklava to Constantinople and back, and
for them storms and wind have few terrors. Moreover,
there are nnw accumulated at Balaklaya supplies for six
weeks, and almost each day brings fresh convoys of men,
arms, and provisions. Our army is full of enthusiasm and
courage, inspired by the victories it has gained at Alma
over Menschikoff, and on this recent occasion over the
Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas. It is ever ready
far the fight ; ever prepared against surprise, against
sudden attacks ; ready to face the enemy on two
sides at the same time if necessary, the French with
their characteristic gaiety and impetuosity, and the
English with their stern and immovable courage which
makes of them, as it were, a wall of bronze. What
ever be the means employed to rouse the fanaticism
of the Russians, their generals cannot always make
them believe that they are conquerors when they are
forced to retreat sr to fly in disorder. The disasters of
Sebastopol, its streets strewn with the corpses, its burn-
ing edifices, and its fleet nearly destroyed, cannot al-
ways be kept a mystery, and when the truth bursts
upon them, it is easy to conceive the dismay and utter
prostration which are found in any army that has beers
so often defeated."

SPAIN .

There is nothing of much importance in the
Madrid journals ofthe 11th, which have arrived in
due course. The Ministerial journals complain of
two deputies of the Moderate party, for having re-
frained from voting at the election of vice-presi-
dents of the. Cortes, whereby the ultra-Liberal
party succeeded in electing one of their candidates,
to the exclusion of the Government candidate, M.
de Abrantes. M. Heros, who had been proposed
for the ultra-Liberals, had declared that that party
had brought him forward without his permission,
he having had no intention of opposing General San
Miguel. _

THE PRUSSIAN BOT.E.

A. Berlin letter of the 11th, in the German Journal
of Frankfort, says :---
"The Prussian note which was despatched on the 23d
ult. to St. Petersburg recommended in the most pres-
sing manner the acceptance of the four guarantees, and
at the same time raised some objection against the con-
centration of Russian troops on the Austrian frontier.
It is said that M. de Budberg has warmly supported
this note, and some journals pretend that the result
has been certain provisional communications, expressing
the readiness of the Russian Cabinet to accept the
propositions of Prussia. It is impossible to form an
opinion of the signification of that communica-
tion until the diplomatic document be known which
contains the real reply of Russia. It would seem, how-
ever, that the hopes indulged in from the telegraphic
despatch go too far, since the general idea is that Russia
has no other intentions than to bring about negotiations,
and so escape from a definitive declaration. Numerous
details are also given relative to the negotiations pend-
ing between Austria and Prussia, and it is said that the
difficulties which subsisted between them have been
smoothed down ; but it results from these details that
the supposition is that previously Russia shall have acs
cepted the propositions made to her. In fact, if Austria
declared herself satisfied with the four points after Russia
had accepted them, the Diet would declare that it ap-
proved of the entrance of the Austrians into the princi-
palities, and afterwards would promise its aid to Austria
in the principalities and elsewhere. Austria, it is said,
agrees on these points."

SUPPLIES FOR THE TROOPS.

Soon after the order by telegraph for the departure of
the 90th Regiment for the Crimea, another message was
received on Saturday evening, directing that, if possible,
1,500 pair of warm worsted socks should be obtained
in Dublin for the use of the men. This orderlwas taken
by Messrs. Pim, Brothers, of this city, who are to
deliver the entire quantity to-morrow. On inquiry we
have learned that there would be no difficulty in supply-
ing in Dublin any reasonable amount of this or any
other description of warm clothing for the troops in the
Crimea. We earnestly hope that the present order will
be followed by many others in this country, which has
recently made very considerable progress in manufac-
turing enterprise and industry.—Dublin Evening Post.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Nov. 12.—The Lloyd of this morning con-
tains the following :—" The Allies have succeeded,
by dint of the most strenuous and unremitting
exertions, in advancing their cannon to within the
short distance of 150 metres of the fortress. The
bombardment was so fearfully effective that a
practicable breach was made on the 4th inst. The
town is also reported to have suffered enormously."
The Lloyd adds hereunto that, under these circum-
stances, it may be safely taken for granted that a
general assault upon the fortress would certainly
take place on the sth or 6th at the latest ; and
that we may confidently expect to receive the news
here of the result by to-morrow. At the same
time' this journal gives the public to understand
that the despatch in question also intimates that the
conflict will probably not be limited to the fortress
alone, but that a general engagement will most
likely take place at one and the same time. The
blow that is to be struck is to be carried out with
the whole disposable forces of the Allies, who are
fully prepared to give battle also outside the forti-
fications of Sebastopol, if the enemy should attempt
a diversion with the- view to the relief of the for-
tresi, and warding off the impending catastrophe..
In this case the Allies hope to celebrate a double
victory.

GREAT WESTERN.

The portion of this line between From* and Radstock,
which from various causes of delay has been so long in
construction, was opened for the oonvoyance of minerals
on Tuesday.

OXFORD, WORCESTER, & WOLVERHAMPTON-.
The directors of this company have given notice of
their intention to apply to Parliament in the next
session to repeal all provisions in the acts relating to
the company, which require the company's rail-
way to be constructed so that it may be worked
continuously with the Great Western, and so
much of the act of 1854 as requires the Oxford, Worces-
ter and Wolverhampton Company to lay down, under
certain penalties, a double line of rails on the broad
gauge within certain periods therein specified ; to enable
the company to construct and complete their railway
sidings and works on the narrow gauge exclusively,
and to discontinue and take up the rails laid on
their line adapted for engines and carriages on the
broad gauge, except upon the part of their
railway near Priestfield. They also propose to apply
for the repeal of all provisions which give power to
the Great Western Company to subscribe towards the
capital of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton
Railway Company, and to raise any additional capital
for such subscriptions, to appoint directors in the com-
pany, and all other powers which give the Great
Western Railway Company any power or right over, or
' in any manner to interfere with, the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company, or the
railways and works belonging to them, except the
use of part of the line at Priestfield ; to limit the
subscription of the Great Western to the amount now
held by them in the company, and to relieve the Great
Western Railway Company from their obligation to com-
plete the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail-
way ; to enable the latter company to guarantee to the
Great Western Company a fixed rate of dividend upon.
the amount of the stock now held by them in the capi-
tal of the company, and to indemnify them from all loss
arising from the guarantee of income to the Severn NaTi-
gation. Commissioners.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.
The directors of this company intend to apply to Par•
liament in the next session for power to transfer or vest
the undertaking in the London and North-Western
Company, either permanently by means of amalgamation
or purchase, or for a term of years ; also to carry into
effect certain agreements made or to be made between.
them.

SOMERSET CENTRAL.
This company have given notice of their intention to
apply in the ensuing session for power to construct an
extension line from the Glastonbury station to the city
of Wells ; also to make a branch railway from the main
line at Highbridge to Burnham, and a pier or landing-
place at the latter place ; and to raise a farther suu of
money.

A JACK TAR'S LBTTER.

If you want to hear the roar of cannon come to this
place, and you will have enough of it. We have had
eleven days, and it may be as many more before we get
possession of Sebastopol. We had the pleasure of throwing
some of Lancaster's shells at them the day after we arrived
on the station. Tho Arrow want in company with the
Sampson, and in sight of the fleet, to try the effect of our
long range ; the enemy was not idle, for as we ran down
the coast we came all at once ou a battery, and they sent
their shot and shell around us thick, and to mend the matter
the engine would not work for some time, so there we
lay—a target for them—at length away we went and

" astonished the Browns." Two days after we paid
thorn another visit—my eye, what a dust there was in the
forts. The naval brigade on shore works well, and so do
the red-jackets. I wish I was with them. Onr fleet en-
gaged the first day, and to toll you the truth they got
roughly used—but "never say die while there's a shot in
the locker." Everybody is in good spirits, and expects to
beat the enemy.—P.S. No Sundays iu this place—all
work on fighting. lam glad to say we have none hurt
as yet—that is to say on board our craft.

The following despatch, which contains some
additional particulars of the news brought by

the Sinai, is from our own correspondent in

Paris :

" The Sinai, which arrived to-day at Marseilles,
brings news from the Crimea of the 3d inst.
"It had been decided that the assault of Sebas.

topol should be made on the sth.

" Three thousand men, under the orders of

Prince Napoleon, were to attack first the fortress

near the cemetery.

" The state of Sebastopol was frightful.
" In the conflagration of the hospital, 2,000
sick and wounded were burnt to cinders.
" The first division (French) has been detached
from the siege army, to increase the army of ob-
servation.

"There was no water, and typhus prevailed in

the town.

" The fire of the place had much diminished

" A great resistance was, nevertheless, ex-
pected in the interior of the town.

THE BLACK SEA.

Private letters from Varna, of the 30th ult., in-
form us that both the Ottoman and French troops
are being daily embarked at that port for the
Crimea. The French reinforcements are to be
formed into a new, namely, the 6th. division, which
is now concentrating partly at Constantinople and
partly at Varna. A brigade of this division, con-
sisting of the 23d light and 28th regiments of the
line, and the troops that were in occupation in
Greece, must already have arrived at Balaklava. A
second brigade is to be formed of the 6th battalion
of the Chasseurs de Vincennes, and of two infantry
regiments, now on their road to Varna. This
brigade will probably also have been already em-
barked thence in the meantime.

SIR C. NAPIER AND HIS FLEET.

We extract the following from a letter received
from Berlin this morning
"As to our ships of war, it is almost marvellous, all
things considered, that the whole should have escaped
tie dangers by which they were surrounded. They have
gone where no Russian vessel of similar size and draught
ever dared to go, even with all the assistance of buoys,
lights, and experienced pilots. They have stood the sea
during six months, in despite of all obstacles and wea-
ther, and will return home with scarcely a scratch of
importance—without, it is true, having gained any
great naval triumph, for Russia took good care to
prevent any trial of strength ; they will return with-
out making any mad-brained assault on Cronstadt or
Sweaborg (an abstention for which every man of sense
ought to be grateful to Sir Charles Napier) ; but they,
will not return without proving to the world that Rus-
sia's fleets are utterly useless for war purposes—without
having completely destroyed Russian maritime commerce,
with the exception of its own immediate coasting trade—
or without having kept in check and paralysed the
movements of an army of nearly 140,000 combatants
d'e/ite, ' which might otherwise have been marched
elsewhere, and thereby enabled the Emperor to
have disposed of the whole of the first and second
army corps for service in Bessarabia or the Crimea.
"Impetuous men may blame Sir Charles Napier for
not making a dash at Cronstadt or Sweaborg, and for being
over-careful of his spleudid ships ; but what would the
nation have said had he made a dash,' failed, and lost a
fourth of his vessels in the attempt, and this without
injuring one of the enemy's ships, ingloriously hidden
behind their granite bulwerks ? Why, the whole nation
would have hurled anathemas on the admiral's head,
and he would have been set down as unworthy of being
entrusted with the care of her Majesty's ships and the
lives of their valiant crews. The test of the 17th at
Sebastopol is sufficient to show the capabilities of ships
against powerfully casemated batteries, unless the latter
can be approached at once within point-blank range, or
even closer ; and this every child knows is more imprac-
ticable at Cronstadt and Sweaborg than at Sebastopol.
" Every man of the British Baltic fleet, from the ad-
miral to the cabin-boy, has well done his duty—has
done all that could be demanded under existing circum-
stances. Russia alone can regret that they did not at-
tempt more."
