OF these Isl, 900 men, 2D,UOO are detached on
the Kertch expedition, and 10000 are at Eupa-
toria. There remain therefore in the camps of
Kamiesch and Balaklava about 10000 men, of
whom $4,000 are required for holding the
trenches and keeping up the siege; and of the
10000 remaining at least 10000 are unable to
take the field though they are on the effective
list. With such force Gen. Peiissier did not
feel safe to set out in search Of an enemy
strong in cavalry, and probably intent to entice
the Allies into the strppes of North. eastern
Crimes, where the supply of water is scarcs
and the COssacks might harrass the advancing
army, threatening its communications with the
sea, and disappearing whenever the Allied ia
fantry chose to attack them.
People are confident of success, and since
the capture of Kertch aud the assault on the
Namalon, begin to lose their faith in Pellissier,
and to become aware that the affairs of the Cri-
mea remain as critical as they we're few weeks
back. The Summer has arrived, together with
its fatal diseases, and the difficulties of the
paigD increase day by day. The Russians, on
the other hand, as far as We may draw our con-
illusions from the chart of the Brussels di plO-
matte clique, feel satisfied that want of success

The proceedings of the Seyastopol Committee
being now published in full, we see that the re.
port, as il was read in the House of Commons,
is due to the pen of Lord Seymour, who sue

Raglan, from vote of censure, as also in sup

pointed out as responsible for the cslamities in
the Crimea. i extract from Mr.. Roebuck's
original draught (Which was supported ex-
c,usively by Mr.. Layard) the following resolu-

In the report Of the Committee, read to the
House of Commons, the following concluding
paragraph, proposed by the Chairman, SIR. Roe
buck, and carried on diriston was omitted:

The formation Of the Foreign Legion does not
proceed at ali. About 800 Germans had lately
arrived at Dover and after being duly approved
by the English authorities, claimed the promised
bounty Of six pounds per head, but instead of
the sum held out by the proclamation Of the
queen, tney fcCchcu hhitc PVuuuS, tuc IT,
mainder being deducted for extras. The Ger
man officer who had enlisted thtm required the
full bounty for his men, and as Mr.. Frederick
Peel did not comply with the just demand, the
offer with all his 500 recruits sbsquatulated
