confrmstory Of The successes which had
been Obtained by The allies before Sevss,o.
pol, but no decided blow had been struck.
The battle which resulted in the capture Of
the Msmelon tower appears to have been
most sanguinsry. The guns Of the French
cen now command The Russian ships in the
hsrbor Of Sevastopol. The allied fleets in
sea Of Azof had destroyed the stores at Pa.
ganrce. Marisnopol and Geni,sch, end i, is
said that On expedition is now fitting out q.
Portsmouth to &C. against Perekop. The
evacuation Of The fortress Of Ansps, has a.
gain brough. the allies into connection with
The Circsssisns; though their alliance i. no.
much counted on.
The fight before the Msmelon was obs,i-
nate, but successful. The important point
In the sclion is ssid to be that the French
from their new POSITION cen resch the ships
in The harbor Of Sevaelopol. In reference
10 this battle the London Times, June IL,
says:
"Wi,hin one hour the Msmelon was in
The possession Of our galian. allies, who
pursued The Russians to The works Of The
White tower, some 600 yards in the resr.
The language Of the dispatch does no, clear
" explain whether the expression "Whi,e
Works." used by Lord RAJ CLAN, applies 10
the Mslakoff Tower or to the earth works
hey ond it, but there is reason to believe
that The tower itself had been destroyed in
great part by the previous bombsrdmen,,
and that The most important part Of the po-
s,ion has been taken end is held by the
French. Having carried the MsmeIon, how
ever. General Pelissier expressly s,a,es tbs,
the French pushed forward until they reach
ed end occupied two redoub,s resting upon
the Careening Hsrbor. This was one Of
the most important results Of The day, for
it completes the investment Of the south
side Of Sevas,opol and brings the works Of
The besiegers TO the sea within the harbor,
thereby enabling them to complete the de.
slruciion Of the Russian ships, and COM
mand The passage Of the great harbor."
The Grand Duke Constantine has been
appointed Regen. Of Russia in case of The
decease Of Alexander II. Ex-Presden,
Fillmore has been received with much hon
or in England. The revolution was no,
yet entirely suppressed in Spain. The con-
di.ion Of the French Empress afforded hopes
,ha, she would presen. an heir to the ,hrone.
Lord Raglan, to whom the Ker,ch expe-
petition is attributed, is gaining vigor, and
the armies and nations generally are in bet
ter temper. Even in Engl-nd The cry for
reform has grown dull. The objec. Of the
Allies seems to be to lock the Russians 10
the Crimes. The only door now left open
is Perekop. Perekop was TO have been al
tackled and seized in few Days. Whether
it can be held or not in the month of June
and July, appears doubtful. The Russisns
used to shrink, in their old wars, from esv-
ing soldiers in the 'vale Of dealh," where
single nights dew often swept off whole
regiments; Pelissier, who though. nothing
Of roasting Arabs, may not be so squesmish.
On the whole, there is decided end solid
progress on the par. of the Allies. II is not
probable that any General ever undertook
SO magnificent military task as the one
which Pelissier and Raglan are now a',emp-
ting to perform. Their aim is to cut of
from Russia, like a wart, the Ctimean pen
insuls, with ell it's forts and its gransries
end its capitals. Only about thousand
years ego thu, peninsula nourished peo-
pie Who could cell 100000 fighting men
into bslte-who sc, up an Emperor in By
zan,ium in play, and KEEP, the Car Of Rus
sis in sor. Of semi servi,ude, he psyi .

couple of hundred thousand, or perhaps
quarter Of a million English, French and
Of the bands Of the Car, who has . million

and advancing step by step, with q reguIaIl-
~, en- energy end perseverance which we
recognize al once as Anglo Saxon. For
their sakes il were pity il al the most cIl-
teal moment trescherous move OF Aus,rIs,
should set free the Russisn army on the
Galllcisn frontier TO move down like cloud
Of Iocus,s on the i'll defended fron.isr posts
on The Crimes.
The taking Of The MameIon was known
to a Mr.. Lesmout, in Calais. before it was
communicated to the Emperor. He an
nounced in . paper edited by himself,
and called the Predicateur des Cotes du
.Nord, on the 9Th Of June, that the oscilla-
lions Of the barometer upon the 9Th con-
vinced him that tremendous and decisive
csnnonade had taken place al Sevsstopol.
