of Alma The news comprises three distinct
successes by the Allies. Firstly.-The French

fewer than 5000 men were killed or wounded,
mostly by the bayonet.
Secondly-The Allies madea rapid advance,
and seized and retained the Russian lines on
the Tcheruaya, without much loss-the Rus
slams retreating- to the hills.
Thirdly-The secret expedition of the Al
lies has obtained easy possession of kertsch.
