STATE
We copy the following from the London Times of March
81:
The last accounts from the Crimea allow us to enter
tain belief that the condition of the troops is materially
improved The fire of the Russian batteries the heights
of Baakava opened the 18th, but without effect
enemy routed by the British troops assisted by
French division and four days later when the Russians
attacked the whole line of the allies they driven
back with great loss and victory thus marks the opening
the second campaign We accept for all they worth
these indications of Improvement in the aspect of
affairs and heartily wish that could extend these
encouraging to all the circumstances ofour
present military position But neither the despatch
from the allied camps the private communications
