no official record whatever has been kept of the

FRANcE.-The address in answer 10 the Kings
speech read in the Chamber of Deputies on the

appreciation, whence we may infer that there Is no
thing in it very offensive to the Monarch and his
Ministers. The debate on the address was to com

RUSSIA AND CIRcAssIA.--Some particulars of the
engage .uent in October, before announced in which
the Russians were sgnally defeated, as fol-

mountaineers and the Russians in the middle of Oc-
tober. 1t commenced in the pass of Hamsh only
about six miles from the castle of Scotcha. The
Russians had about 5000 Georgian and Mingreliar
cavalry, with 10000 $4,000 Of their infantry The
former led the van and attacked in the pass
vigorously that they were put completely to the
route. They fell back upon the infantry, to whom
their own panic communicated and the whole
fled to the coast, botly pursued by the vic
tors. The slaughter dreadful, no less than three
thousand five hundred of the Russian party being
left dead upon the field. Some escaped to the ships
which, torty-nine in number, were lying within gun
shot of the shore others drowned in attempt
to swim off, and the rest of the survivors made good
their retreat in dreadful confusion TO Scotcha where
they collected and entrenched themselves Few
prisoners made for the Circassians, being less
than five thousand in number, could not embarrass
themselves with such incumbrance, and put to the
sword nearly all such of the enemy fell into their
hands All the horses, and an immense quantity OF
arms and baggage, the booty of the heroic
mountaineers whose loss did not ding to their
own accounts, exceed four hundred and fifty men
hors de combat.
After this defeat the Russians sued for peace, and
got for answer, that the Circassians would make
peace, if the Russians would first evacuate the for
tresses the coast But they would not treat with
out Intervention. They proposed that after the
evacuation a delegate from the Ru sian General,
and another from the Crcassians should be sent to
Constantnople, where treaty should be made, with
the and under the guarantee of the Porte
and the great European powers. This proposal not
meeting with the appreciation of the Russians, they,
after remaining before Scotcha about twenty days,
embarked in their ships and sailed away, leaving the
accustomed garrison in that place. The Clrcassians
intend to attack all the castles the coast (Anafa
excepted) during the winter The harvest having
been fine, they have abundance of food for man and
beast, and expect to be very successful, since last
