night in the House Commons, 10 the effect that Lord
Raglan had applied retire from the command OF the
Crimean army in consequence Of severe illness Lord
Raglan has been suffering from dysentery and has been

ceved by telegraph represents his ordshps health to have
greatly improved within the last few hours any change
in the command should be found necessary is arranged
that the command of the army is to be conded to General

Sir George Brown, who has also been suffering from
dysentery at Balaklava is better.
In the House of Lords the same evening, lFrday,

lord the Minister for War; whether it true stated IN
the Times newspaper of this morning. that Lord Raglan
was about return having resigned his command in con-
sequence of i'll health 1t bad been also stated that Sir
George Brown being unable TO discharge his duties from
similar cause the command OF the army had deyolyed
upon General Simpson.
Lord Panmure happy 10 state that the rumor of
Lord Raglans resignation not true. lie regretted To-
say that his ordshp had been suffering from an attack OF
darrhua but not to such degree as to obge him to re-
sign his command. He happy that the country was
likely TO lose the benefit Of his services though the no

We copy the following from the Liverpool Events of
June 30
On Tuesday it currently reported in Paris that
cabinet council had been held under the presidency of
the Emperor deliberate the question whether il
would not be right to authorize General Pessier in
such way he may think fit without waiting for the
corporation of the English
This piece of intelligence given by Paris
pendent OF the Independence of Brussels and although it
really nothing, still it carries with ii political
animus which be mistaken aud the only
make any such rumor, suppospg IL TO be true is,
that the allies have gone forth the Crimea to fight and
conquer and that where saving of life depends upon the
skill and ability of military commander, II General Pc
isser be really better officer and soldier than Lord Rag
lam say in the OF humanity that the French gem
ea should have the supreme command and that England
will have for the slightest jealousy OF feeling on
the subject.
But there be truth whatever in the statement II
is quite evident from all we have heard OF the battle OF the
18th that the allies unable to do than attack
the Mamelon and the Redan and hold their in the
field the time And may rest assured that both
the allied commanders have enough to do in defending
their respective positions and that they lind constant and
active cooperation is essential to the safety OF both
armies
The object OF such reports those alluded to by our
Paris correspondent is too garng to be disguised Rus
spies employed throughout Europe but more par
tculary in France and England to create distrust and
dscord between the allied countries Russian arts and
Russian means Lord John Russell calls them to be
found in full operation in every courtcirce and market
place on the continent And are not without nu-
family OF Russian synpatnlzerS III llHEldHu.
The enemy have admitted that they knew the Cossacks
boat approached Hango under flag of truce but they at
tempt justify their arocy by stating that garrison Of
probably thousand suspected straageu to sur
prise them" the part of small boats crew Such pal
pabe evasion this trust will not prevent her Males
TVS ships from avenging an outrage OF most inhuman
character. From the CrMea news must continue to
be most tragcal for have long since predicted,
,ciH be found that erery inch Of ground hin the Russaan
lines been mined and cormne 10 destroy the at
tacking forces and 10 render any permanent odgmen upon

whole Of the garrison supplies by means contrve
destroy their magazines of provisions Sebastopo must
be taken by the bayonet at fearful cost
And appears singular that neither the French
nor the English in the battle Of the 18TH had sufficient
artillery force the enemy SIRE Of grape and
lster after the Russians had been driven by the bayonei
from their trenches and outline offences IL does not APP
pear from any of the that have that the
allies were supported by any much less sufficient artillery
force And this inclined to attribute the dsas-
trous repulse that awaited them.
TAKING HOPEFUL VIEW OF AFFAIRS
The London correspondent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, under date of June 20, writes
sensible Improvement has taken place since the depar-
ure of the steamer only in the public feeling
gardng the progress of the war; but also in the pros
poets Of the harvest and the general state of the trade of
the country.
At that date uncertainty prevailed with regard to the
loss sustained by the allies in their unsuccessful attack
the Malako Tower Redan the 18th instant aud
runors actively circulated the Paris Bourse that
the total of killed and wounded not less than $4,000,
of whom 1000 were French The official reports have
been received and it appears that the killed and
wounded the British side were 1896 and on the French
1900. Some doubts entertained whether the latter
