BATTLE OF INKERAANN.
QUARREL ssrwEES PRINCE GEORGE OF cA,DRIDGE
AND LORD RAGLAN.
The following IL from the Daily Netcs correspond
eat at the Crmea Long before this letter reaches
you win know mu oh more than we DO Of what il
here generally spoken of a. the /" row Of the Duke
Of Cambridge" His royal hlghness Ii now on board
England. It is asserted that he quarreed with
ths commander hief, in consequence Of the bat
Tie Of tho 5th. The duke resented the manner In
which the Guards were cut up. and i Is asserted
he said some very Emart words TO Lord Raglan
absut the manner IN which the Guards and the
Second division were left exposed to the assault OF
the Russian army. What Lord Raglan replied ID
not known, but the end of 1t was'(thus 1t L whis-
pefed In the camp) that the duke went OF in high
dudreon intending TO proceed TO England and tell
them al " about Lord Raglan and the army" As
for the position which the Russians attseked, the
Commander in Chief has already confessed his
fault, aRd made amsnds honorable in the face
Of the whole army. On the vory next
m0rnipg after the battle, in obedience to orders
received from headquarters, the engineers com.
menced terrifying the position and this afternoon the
rsioubt thrown up by them was mounted with two
6Spounders, two 22-pounders, and four inch long
guns. No apology In general orders could be more
satisfactory, and, let me add, more honorable to
Lord Raglan, than shs ready and pracsi sal ackaow

liz the power OF comnanderin. chief to commit.
The correspondent of the Merning Post, writing
ON the 18Th fiom bsfore Sebastopol, says" The
Duke of Cambridge has gone on board ship.

was smiling freshly In the returning sunshine, and
talking Of an expected assault by the French. The
French and English attacks, were blazing away as
usual against each other, and dottng the scene with
pufis OF white smoke. Suddenly sharp, crashing
rattle Of musketry, which came distinctly to our
ears through the roar Of the cannon, was heard
