KERTscHTIn FRENCH ATTACK on rn
ADVANCED WORKS AT sKBAsToPoL.
The London correspondent Of the New York CONNER
eal Advertiser under date of June writes follows
The by this packet marked and decisive than
any for time past The expedition 70 kertseh has
completely succeeded the allies under the command Of Ad
mra Lyons and General Brown sweeping the sea OF
Azo, and Russia is without single srace OF sea
water on which 10 sail ship
The expedition which TO have sailed from Balak
the 23d Of May consisted Of English vessels and
troops with smaller proportion of French and Turks
Upon its making its appearance before kerseh and ine
daey upon the landing Of the soldiers the Russians blew
up their Notifications with three Of their wasteamcrs
and transports and fled precipately They were not
able however destroy all their artillery amt shipping
and the allies succeeded in capturing 30 vessels chiefly
transports and about 100 guns General Sir George
Brown then advanced up the strait OF kersch to fenikae
its point and this place being taken the entire
Of Azo fell at under the command 81 the inyah
ing squadronwhc thus withouta casualty secured the
most fruitful victory of the campaign.
In his progress Gen Brown destroyed large foundry
constructed by the Russians for the manufacture OF she'll
and Mimic shot and il ascetained that the Russians
had previously destroyed their magazines containing 1907
600 sacks oats 800 of corn AID 100000 OF flour On
the 9th five vessels laden with from some port OF the
of Azof kereh ignorant of the place having
been taken and Immediately captured Subsequent
~ the squadron proceeded round the Crmean coast OF he
AzoR to the important town Of Araba whence the army
in the interior believed hitherto to have drawn large
portion of their supplies and bombarded Us forts and blew
up its powder magazines On this occasion LOG merchant
said have been destroyed and four Russian
Steamers latter by .he Russians themselves leav
ing only Russian steamship in existence on those wa
Tho allies have 30 cruisers raversng them. IL
is also stated that 900 have been captured.
Meanwhile, although are still without full details OF
the French attack the advanced works OF the Russians al
Sebastopo the nights Of the ed and 23d of May
additional particulars have been received showing the im
portance of the position wrested that occasion from the
enemy, and the terrible of the Russian loss Ae
cordng report from General peisser published in the
Aoniteur it could have been less than 5000 5000
men, and Prince Gorsehakof has himself reported TO St
Petersburgh that it amounted the first night alone
$500 The French loss, although much less, was severe
but its total has not yet been stated.
With regard to the subsequent operations Of the allied
army before Sebastopo the information is vague but Is
sufficient indicate that the Russian troops in the field
likely to be forthwith driven back even ii they have
not already begun partial retreat The allies are said TO
have occupied the line OF the Tchernaya without meeting
any resistance, and supposed to be rapidly adj
vancng toward cutting off the Russian communications
AT the same time great preparations have been ma
king for movement at Eapaoria nearly ali the Turk
h Egyptian forces being concentrated there under
Omar Pasha great advantage has likewise been gained
by the construction OF submarine telegraph from alak
lava 10 that town. that shifting of the forces each
place cam of need be effected with extraordinary
rapidly.
EFFECT or THE MARKET
Tho effect Of all the foregoing Intelligence upon the Lon
don stock and share market has OF been very favor
able coming at time when the abundance of money WAS
already exercising extraordinary influence Consois at
the last date quoted 81 and have since been with
in fraction of 93 but partial reaction has taken place
from the highest price, and the closing quotation this
evening was 92s The stock OF bullion in the Bank Of
England is higher than at any period since August 1853
and the amount Of unemployed capital increasing with
great rapdy They have at present absained however
from fresh reduction Of their rate Of discount which
still remains at per cent? the directors probably having
been induced to defer that by the consciousness
that with the present supply OF money in the market their
competitors out of doors would still underid them what
they may descend and that consequently noth
ing would result beyond further stimulus TO the specu
lave feeling which is already in excess Liverpool and
OF which there have been approaching indications the
London Stock Exchange.
IMPRESSIONS OF THE LONDON THE sue

The victorious occupation of the OF Kerisch BY the
allied forces the command have thus obtained OF the
Cmeran BosphoraH aud the of Azo and the estab-
shment OF our power upon another point of the highest
straegcal importance in the Russian territories are events
which augur auspcosiy for the success of The CAM
pagn in which about to engage and place IN
hands another material pledge for the triumphant ter
minauon of the The satisfaction which this achieve
ment will excite in all parts of the world where sympathy
is felt for the Of the allies increased by the ior
nate circumstance that this has been Obtained with
out single casualty In spite OF the warning given TO
the Russians by the recall Of the first expedition nearly
three weeks ago. the result shows thai hey had no, means
to place the straits OF Yenikale efficient state OF de-
fence they evacuated and destroyed the forts which
guarded the Of Azoh the arrival Of the combined

worhy celebrated by planting the standards OF England
and France upon the hill which tradition has dqsrihpd az

This result is the glorious and the more exraor
binary the Russians long have foreseen that such
