of defence are admirably executed and de-
Tended In proportion as we gain the ground
the difficulties Increase. If a battery be
taken with irresistible impetuosity, another
rises up at short distance. For instance, VIC
are just informed that, despairiug Of Keeping
the MalakhoG the enemy have established in
its rear a second line, of defensive works.
The affair will be warm one, you may de.
pend upon it; but our soldiers do not doubt
for moment of success, and they are conf
dent of carrying at blow the whole piece.
Our allies have received large reinforce
ments, particularly of cavalry. They have
now brigade of heavy, and two of light
oavalry-in all about 5000 horses. The
heavy calavry, which is composed of six regi-
ments of Dragons, commanded by General
Lawrence, is perfectly organized. 1t consists
Of picked men, of robust statue, and of o
martial appearance which presages nothing
good to the enemy, you may rely upon it.
The light cavalry, composed Of eight regi-
ments Of Hussars and two of Lancers, under
the orders of Lord George Paget and Colonel
Parby, is perfectly equipped and mounted.
The health of the army improves daily.
The cholera has almost entirely disappeared.
The Pedmontesc army, which had cruelty
suffered from it, has at last got rid OF this
terrible enemy. 1t is now grown strong and
vigorous again. The Piedmontese are excel
lent troops. They are picked men, and their
gallantry is we'll known and appreciated by
the allied army.
The regular correspondent of the London
&, Times, under date of Jnly 10Th, says -, =
1.-The French have pushed their works
almost to the abatts of the Maakhof, and
are so near that man may throw stone
nty the Russian position. The abattis is
described to be truly formidable obstacle
1t is formed of trunks of oak and beach from
the woods of the Crimea, and is more than
six feet in height. Attempts will, no doubt,
be made to destroy it with shot and shell be-
fore making any fresh assaults. The Rus.
slams may still be observed continually to
work on this position, which is now the re-
cognised key to Sevastopol. They have also
been engaged lately in repairing the works o.
the Redan, which had suffered much from tn,
continual fire of the English batteries"
Under date of July 10Th, the same writer
says -
"Never since the beginning of the sieg'
were both parties SO thoroughly in earnest as
at present. The exchange of shot and shell
is almost incessaut. The French, of course
can be supplied with these munitions of wal
to any extent, but to the means of their ad
versaries there must be, one would think
some limit. There are boundaries in Sevasto
pol, there can be little doubt; some of the
shot thrown us is perfectly round and smooth
and new, and seems just turned out beside
which it is impossible to believe that grea
naval arsenal can be without the means 0
manufacturing its own munitions Powde
mills probable also exist; but in both thes
cases the question occurs as to where tn
materials for the manufacture are to come
from"
