The Journal de Canstaatinople contains the
following account of the victory of Inkermann:
{" Early on the morning of the 9Th a Russian
army, about 10000 strong, of whom $4,000
men consisted of reinforcements which arrived
onthe preceding evening, under the command
of General Dannenberg and the Grand Dukes
Michael and Alexander, profting by an intense
fog, marched upon Inkermann to the extreme
limit of the English army, and attacked them
vigorously.
'sGeneral Cathcart assembled about 5000
men, whom he opposed to the Russians, and
for more than two hours this handful of brave
soldiers had been struggling with the most he
roic intrepidily against an army so superior in
number, when the French troops arrived in all
haste, and, joining themselves to the English
with an admirable spirit Of differentiation, OPP
posed to the enemy q body of about 5000 men,
who charged the Russian masses one against
FIVE, and repulsed them with the most irresisti-
bic impetuosity.
The Monet brigade arrived soon afterwards,
and its arrival completed the rout of the Rus
slams who retired In disorder about o'clock
in the afternoon.
During this engagement, 5000 men of the
garrison of Sebastopol made sortie, and at
tackled some companies who supported the
French lines, which were not more than 100
metres from the place.
General de Lourmel went Immediately with
q few battalions to the assistance of these
companies, who sustained the attack with in
trepidity, repulsed the Russians, and forcing
them to take fight, pursued them to within
twenty PAGES Of the Quarantine Battery. At
that point serious wound forced him to stop
and the Russians were enabled to take refuge
in the place. 50
In these two affairs the Russians in killed
and wounded lost the services of more than
10000 men. The loss of the allied armies
amounts to about 5000 men in killed and
wounded.

Russian officer. In this letter, which we sub
join, the reason given for the attack will be
noticed as combining with its failure to show
that the enemy is not blind TO the steady pro
gress Of the siege operations. The following
is the letter:
