man who had not flattered himself that the campaign
would be a short and a glorious one. The sanguine
flattered themselves upon wintering even in England,

stormy months either in Scutari or Constantinople. The

winter in the Crimea, and open the campaign next spring,
with large reinforcements-, on a grand scale. The whole
Crimea will be swept of every armed Russian. A suffi-

cient force will mabitain the lines of Perecop, and Sebas-
topol will be completely invested. The garrison, who
will be• driven from necessity in the•winter to consume
any stores of provisions which the place may contain, will
be forced to surrender in the spring, from starvation, or
the town will be carried by assault. Now that the army

knows its fate, it certainly bears the idea of wintering
here with great philosophical resignation. "It's a con-
founded bore, but can't be helped:" Sustained by this
reflection, the officers have inve4ted largely in pea-jackets,
and are determined to bear their fate with no more
grumbling than is absolutely necessary to the well-being
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

,ssible. 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 strollg 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 01
INKERMAN.

(From tNe-St. Petersburg Journal

It appears by the • reports from Aide-de-camp General
Mice Menschikoff; dated November 12, that' the siege
works of the enemy- before Sebastopol have nob 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 repaced 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 6th of November, Prince 11Ienschi-
koff now sends, respecting this combat, more circum-
stantial details, which. will be found in the following
