II the Russian accounts from the Crfnes are to-
be relied on. an attack was contemplated on the
estern and Turkish troops, which was expected
to be made on This very day-zthe 10th. II sounds
odd to hear Of Russia assuming the offensive, and
facing the forces of the allied generals, When we
are assured in the same breath that hentfoopss
were IN want Of p7ovisons,-tha the Grand Duke
Michael was seriously i'll at Cherson, and that the
contemplated attack On Sebastopol kept the enemy
10 cheeF. As far as we ear Judge from the ample
details which come TO hard respecting own
troops and the ineagre accounts of the enemys,
the opposing armies are pretty much upon par
with regard to physical condition Something de-
cisiye had probably been resolved upon, from the
fact OF the Enperor's sons appearing once more
near the scene of operations. The Grand Duke
Nicholas, according to the latest reports, had left
Sebastopol for Srmpheropel, with view most
probably, to perfect some manoeurvlng IN eonnec-
ton with approaching events.
Hitherto the French, unlike the English troops,
have enjoyed an immunity from criticism. Ugly
facts, nevertheless, occasionally peep out which
reveal worth of misery. We learn, for instance.
that the ZouaVes tie hardest and most resonte Of
the soldiers under General Canrobert had mutined
and had demanded retreat from the Crimea As
many as four hundred Of the mutineers had arrived
at Constantinope on their may TO Teaion,-Worn
out, do doubt, in bo,ly and mind with the hsrrass-
ing duties to which they have been exposed, and
under the infldesce of which they committed trea-
son to their country. The descriptions Of the
weather in the Crimea vary considerably. Some
times we hear of the intense cold, another day we
are assured that the atmosphere was 20 genial that
the band of the Chasseurs dAfriques played sever
al French airs which seemed to delight the English
who bad long been deprived Of pleasant sounds.
These opposite accounts following rapidly, are
no doubt truthful; but variable climate, we know
is always the most injurious to health, and that a
winter in the Crimea is fatal to the health of troops
we have had melancholy experience. But upon
the whole, the accounts which have come to hand
this week are more cheering. Evidently the " orst
of the winter had passed and the warm clothing
for the troops which had been distributed, would
90 far to sustain such Of them as retained vigor up
to that time.
The Chancellor Of the Exchequer stated on Thurs
day night, in the House of Commons, that, ten
DAYS ago, there were 28,200 British soldiers en-
gagged in military duties before Sebastopol-a more
comforting assurance than we were led to expect,
and which certainly points to considerable exsg-
geration in certain quarters This account being
official and put forth b leading Minister Of the
Crown, viii cheer many persons who believe that
our army had actually gone to the dogs.
