carrying away the inhabitants; the Allies met
with 10 resistance on landing and entering the
town; still the houses of the inofIcnsye popula-
tion which had retired with the garrison were
pillsged, the furniture was broken, pianos
smashed into pieces, o-pantings run through
with bayOnets, books burned, plates aud
dishes thrown through the windows, wearing
apparel and bedding and yaluables, left by
insdvertence in the houses, carried of by
force. And all this was done under the eyes
of the English and French officers who might
have prevented such outrages, not excusable
even by the excitement OF preceding battle;
hut in the present instance il was the capture,
or rather the occupation, of peaceable town
abandoned by its inhabitants. The Russians in
the Baltic behaved still worse. An English
boat was fred into while landing Russian pris-
oners at Hango under flag of truce, aud
nearly all the crew, including the oihcer
and surgeon, were killed, one man only-a
negro-suryiying out of twenty-five. Such
is the civilization of Europe! The SOL
diers, une6ucsted and belonging 10 the lowest
classes of society, brutalized by so-cslled
military discipline turn into bloody sayages
whenever let loose, either in Paris, at the coup
d'etat or at Yenikale on the 26th of May.
The town." writes a naval officer, "has been
destroyed by the French. who are very devils
"in the shape of mischief Still, according to
the details, the English and Turks seconded the
French most cordially in their glorious enter
prise. 1.-THE village of Kamiesh, near leni-
kale," says the same officer, "was set on hre
"to cook BY; several fine cows were killed and
"cut up with swords, cooked and eaten in
"what is often called no time. Some got
possession of a carriage, and some were
." drawn about by others who acted the part Of
'draught animals-cther horses or asses, which
"you please" But how shall we style the
officers who looked upon pllage in the light at
amusems Mt
Again, the Tartars who al the invitation OF
the Allies left their homes aud sought refuge
at Eupatorio, are left to their fate-slow starva-
tion; the commanders Of the expedition have
no time to spare in taking care of such valua-
bic allies. They ALLEVIATE the feelings of the in
! habtants Of the Crimca with an incredible reck-
lessness; the fate OF Yenikale and ofthc Tartsrs
| at Eupatoria makes even the Cossack rule pref
erab.e TO the presence aud friendship Of the
Anglo French army. Last year the poor inhsb
itabts of the Aland Islands were left unpro-
tected against Russian revenge; this year the
Crimean Tariars are ignored and allowed to
starye under the protection of the Allies. still
the public papers contain no comment upon
such proceedings, and no eloquent writer OF
the " great thunderer" denounces the violation
of the rules not only Of morals but even of COM
mon prudence.

The report of the Sevastopol Committee eI-
cites considerable attentions though il had been
sortened down by the efforts Of the supporters
Of the Cabinet in the Committee, il is most
valuable retrospective document, and shows up
the most glazing blunders of the Crimean expe-
dition in q candid and unimpassioned tone. re-

Ministers really believed that seyastopol might
be taken by coup de main, and therefore it did
not cross their mind TO make provision for win
