sbspdontd before such extreme carnage could
occur. Still it is possible that this report msy
be true, or even lees than the truth. Or this
subject We shall hope to obtain some light from
! the mail of the America due here tonight, in
sesson for to-morrow's paper.
The bombardment ofthe Russian lines on the
| east of SeyastopoI, or rather 10 front of the
Karsbelnaya suburb, began on the 9th ult; on
the 7th the Msmelon aud other advanced works
were taken, with loss to the allies Of some

Prince Gorcnskoff says, Of 1000 This success

these two points, was about TO be strength .nei

said would be terrible. These batteries were
apparently placed on the Mamelon and on Mount

Kamtschatka lunette, Of course turning it
against the Russian lines. 1t would seem that

the Allies have received is evidently serions
one, or the facts respecting it would not SO lolg
be hidden from the public.
1t should not be forgotten that this was ~
general assault upon the entire town, bat only
on these two forts on the Karab1lnaya side.
special csnnOnade had been maintained on
these works and special assault was its
proper sequence. Had they been cirre;,
the result would have been great gain to the
Alice by means of which they could have

with much greater rapcity. 1t would also
have enabled them to destroy win their guns
the remaining Ressisn ships in the post. Yet it
would not have rendered certain che fall OF the
main or western part of the town, which is sep

But oE the consequences of the allied reverse
We abstain from all reflections until we have
some more accurate report of the facts.
A great deal is said by the English papers in
denuncation of an Outrage committed by Rus
sian force at Hango, on the Baltic, in iring into
a flag truce and killing lieutenant aud fifteen
men as they were going ashore to land some
Russian prisoners, taken ON board OF coasting
vessels, whom the Admiral had ordered to be
liberated. Ii appears that of the English party
only one man escaped alive, and that the narra-
tive is derived from this single witness Ii his
story be entirely true, and if as is alleged there
was no provocatOn for the act, il is indeed an
enormous outrage meriting the indignation it
exctes. But ia every case it is we'll to hear
both sGes before forming decisive judgment,
ana as yet the Russian version of this tragedy
is lacking.
The proceedings in Parliament have had rare
interest, but have produced no result Of any
moment, the Ministry being sustained in spite
of all the speeches mace against them. The
SeyastopOl Committee have made their report
il adds Nothing to the stock of public infOrma-
ton, but fully confirms all the charges of incapa
city and imbecilty brought against the late adj
ministratlon of the British army.
