occasion to charge the enemy.
Daring this combat the two horse batteries under Conti
mandant La Boussiniere, and the battery of the Secop.i.
Division directed by Commandant de Barrel, had tolmail,is
tain a fierce duel with the Russian artillery, which 00`
composed of 24 and 30 pounders in position, and of a 6v
siderable number of field pieces. Our batteries, aided 14,
an English battery of 9-pounders, had the honour, of el,
tinguishing the Russian fire, and reducing it absolutely;
silence. This combat of artillery was directed bS'
brave Colonel Forgeot, who rendered me during this o‘,

the greatest services.
Finally, at-the moment when the Russian fire was
tinguished, I caused to be led to the last crest a divisio;tl
battery supported by two battalions, which covered wilie
shells and balls the bridge of Inkerman, over which t e
d
Russian troops rushed in great disorder, and we lie 1,i3
pleasure of seeing them fly in a complete rout. But r,i
rout was protected by the marshes of Inkerman, I.'
we unfortunately could not traverse, for otherwise "

cavalry would have ended the day gloriously.
The brigade of General Monet, arriving in second:ea
serve, had no occasion to act. It, however, experiell,es
losses by the cannon balls of the enemy, fired from Pw-

having an extreme range.
4 Before the telegraph we had-only one cannonade vv..- e
out wounded, but I feel real pleasure in here express De
how much the detachment of Marines, under Captaiii,_ t
Cautenson, served those excellent 30-tounders, which NePe,
the enemy's line very distant, and caused them to OP

rience a severe loss.
I have thanked the Generals d'Antemarre and 1015
baki, who so valiantly headed their troops ; and of
De Cissy, my chef d'etat major, who has most enerc
tically aided me. I' wish • I could mention all the

men who so well fought at Inkerman—but this wow

which, in every rank, is most satisfactory. Our so eg-
have•become so accustomed to the dangers they are,tly
posed to, that, in the midst of the projectiles constaheir
falling amongst them, they chat and laugh, take •t of
meals, and play at oaks, without appearing to thinly
the death which threatens them. The officers are etitby

RUSSIAN BRUTALIT r.—As I was standing in tthe34
bag Battery a short time ago (says a letter from lirere
mea) talking to some officers of the Guards, wh° awl
describing their terrible losses, Colonel Conynghame tor
Lieutenant-Colonel Wilbraham, of the Quarternrsod
General's staff, rode up towards the spot to suPernisoen
the operations. The instant their cocked hats were aileY
above the ridge a burst of smoke arose out of the '47
from the head of the harbour, and bizz ! whisk 1
came a shell right over us, and crashed into the lux& the
where our men were actually engaged in bury all
oad
Russian dead ! Such atrocity needs no colnuie
officers anal men were alike indignant at it. Lielci as
Conynghame told me he understood Lord Raglan ba,„ the
tually sent in a flag of truce that very morning "; tile
Russian generals to inform them that the parties °.l,g,
bill-side were burying the dead. As he was spec right'
second, shell was directed at us and fell again to the ro
but it was quite evident that the society of two otlice, the
cocked hats and on horseback was not the safest 'tire',
world. at that particular moment, and we all three re fro!'

One thing is quite clear, that, if such acts as these 59i,
approved of by the Russian authorities, it will be cooto-
ble to treat their men as civilised beings, and th;,,, 0;,os
will assume the worst characteristics of barbarl icit
fare. It is impossible to believe that Russia, `rio
hitherto lavished kindnesses on the few prisoneage ,-prs
had fallen into their hands, can permit her Sa.,
