of a Briton. At home it is hoped everything will be done
by the authorities to render the position of the army as
comfortable as possible. The Russian reinforcements
which may arrive in the winter will prove more a source
of weakness than of strength. They will only consume
provisions, without being able to render any essential
assistance. The allied army is strong enough to resist
any attack that may be brought to bear against it. But
the spring must bring large reinforcements, and the allied
army should open the- campaign with not less than
150.000 men. Let our troops be well taken care of in the
winter months, and the next campaign will witness vic-
tories no less brilliant than those of the Alma and

Inkerman.
THE RUSSIAN

ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF
INKERMAN.

(From the St. Petersburg Journal)

It appears by the reports from Aide-de-camp General
Prince Menschikoff, dated November 12, that the siege
works of the enemy before Sebastopol have not advanced
in the least, and that our fortifications continued, as before,
to support with success the fire of the besiegers. Each
night not only has all the damage been repaired and the
dismounted guns replaced by others, but in many respects
the means of defence have also been increased. During
this time the enemy has continued to strengthen his right
flank, even to the town of Balaklava.
In order to complete the first and hasty account of the
sanguinary affair of the sth of November, Prince Menschi-
koff now sends, respecting this combat, more circum-
lief will be found in the following

REPORT OF TILE GENERAL OF INFANTRY DANNENBERG,

COMMANDER OF THE 4TED CORPS OF INFANTRY, DATED

NOVEMBER 8.

According to the plan arranged for the army of the
Crimea for the sth of November, I made the following
dispositions • _ _ _ _

Lieutenant-General Soimonoff, who commanded the
right column, had directions to range his troops in order
of battle before daybreak, and to execute an offensive
movement by placing his left flank upon the left bank of
the ravine named Kilene-Balka, so that, profiting by the
facilities which the ground offered for his movements, and
for action, he might turn the forces of the enemy stationed
near the source of that ravine. -
The left column, under' the command of Lieut.-General.
Pauloft had orders to occupy, with twelve battalions of
Regiments of rhasseurs of Borodino, Okhotsk, and Tarou-

tino, and two companies of the fourth battalion of Riflemen,
and to clear the defiles covered with thick brushwood
situated beyond the Tchernaya-Retchka, while the rest of
the troops advanced by the new road called that of the
Sappers. Then, forming in order of battle between the
ravine Kilene-Balka and the defiles in question, that
column was to act at the same position as that of Lieut.-
General Soimonoff.
Very unfortunately, the column of Lieutenant-General
Soimonoff, instead of taking the position indicated above,
passed by the right bank of the ravine Kilene-Balka, and
immediately upon the break of day, without waiting for

the arrival Of the left column, made a rapid movement in
advance—a movement, however, which it was forced to
make by the sharp fire from the rifles of the enemy, who,
not being threatened upon his left flank, was able to con-
centrate all his forces between the source of the Kilene-
Balka and the valley of Inkerman, upon ground very easy
of defence. The first line were the regiments of Tomsk
and Kolyvan, followed by the Catherinenburg Regiment
of Infantry. Behind the right flank of these troops were,
under the command of Major-General Jabokritsky, the
infantry regiment of Boutyrsk, and the chasseurs of Oug-
litch, and the first brigade of the sixteenth division of
infantry, as a reserve to cover the right flank, according
to the plan of attack by the left bank of the Kilene-Balka.
