From the Crimea
July l4.-The events of the past week have not
been marked by any stirring feature. The French
destined to act against the shipping in the roadstead
and the approaches against the Malakof have been
steady advancing. The new batteries in our posi-
ton have also been making favorable progress
The enemy had maintained a very determined
opposition to these advances, and especially from
the direction of the Redan, and kept up a constant
discharge of shell and grape against our working
parties. 1t was determined, therefore, to make the
attempt of slencing some of the guns of the Redan
as well as inetTupting the works known to be in
progress there; and on the 10th tremendous fire
was opened against it, and maintained nearly the
whole day. The fire of the enemy against our
working party has been less active since that date,
but it is doubtful whether any of the enemys guns
were injured. On the extreme left tranquility has
| been preserved.
| The general health of the troops engaged in the
siege operations continues excellent. Dysentery
and fever are the prevailing diseases. Cholera
seems have entirely quilted the front of our posi-
ton, although it still clings to some particular
situations. The temperature has continued very
| high. yrrs
