n3- II is n fact. says an intelligent Paris
correspondent of the New York Epening Post
Of the authenticity of which there is no doubt,
that at the moment when the order was given
by Marshal Pelisser to attack the Maiakoff
THAT attack which decided the fall Of Sebas-
topol,) he had already had in his pocket for
twelve hours, an order from Paris not to make
the attack. The order was the precursor of
his recall, which was then on the way, and
which was condemnation of his previous i'll
success against the Maakof, or Of his slow
progress, which had produced encouragement
here. The marshal foresaw the blow which
threatened him. Absolved by victory, he has
changed the degradation which awaited him,
into promotion to the dignity of marshal.

1t is, perhaps, not generally known that sew
eral years ago Lieut.. Maury met with an acct
dent in state-coach, which crippled him for
life. He brought an action against the stage
proprietors and recovered damages upon the
ground that he was incapacitated for the &C.
tive duties of his profession. BY the Navy
Register IL appears that he has not been to sea
for fifteen years, but he has been usefully and
honorably employed as Superintendent Of the
National Observatory, where, under special
legislation, he has received salary Of 1000
per annum.
