PIRATICAL CONDUCT OF THE RUSSIANS,

t
The Times' Paris correspondent says, " The import°
fact seems now to be ascertained that the conduct of the
Russians was more that of pirates than anything al'
It is positively stated that the flotilla of Osman Pasha had
nothing whatever to do with the Circassians. It vve°
Mustapha Pasha who had succeeded in landing milit
stores at Batoum. Two accounts state that the Russian°
had the English flag hoisted until they were ready to oPen
their fire, and this was also a reason for the slowness with
'which the Turkish batteries fired.."

The Times' correspondent trusts that this report is 'Ol.
