the fourth guarantee Russia counts upon the union Of
the efforts Of the two Imperial Courts to bring this grave
question of general interest to large and ecacious
solution stated in Count Buols despatch.
But Russia foresees difficulties which this solution may
present The last Parliamentary debates have given u
the proof Of the repugnance Of the parties interested

Prince GOrtschalx0n's Gcneralslaip-
We have short sketch in the Paris Dats OF Col.
St. Angels analysis of the despatch in which Prince Gort
schakuH explains and excuses his late defeat the
Tchernaya The gallant writer does ample justice to the
conduct Of Gen. Read, unhandsomely dealt with BY
who pia ,ed by accident favor above him in the
military system Of Russia, surpassed by him in every
qualification of commander. Colonel st. Ange says
Prince Gortschako throws all the blame Of his want Of
success General Read, commander Of the Sd corps
darmee who killed, and cannot defend himself
According to the generaln chief Gen. Read ought TO
have established artillery before the bridge
OF Traktir, to command the Eodukhine hills whilst
attack made Tchorgoun and to have depoyed in
line of battle under the protection of his artillery but
to have attacked the positions before receiving orders
Could however Prince GorschakoH reasonably imagine
that on hearing the cannonade the French and Sardn
ians would remain in their tents? Has all initiative been
nerdicted to the general Of corps dTse Of from
600 to 600, who when in situation to appreciate
favorable circumstances seize on them and profit
by them2 Moments precious in Prince
Gortschakof then at distance of two kilometres
dered the moment opportune for attack before the French
were fully prepared and besides, by marching on the
Maeons his attack accorded with the plan of the gene
raj chief Read In fact might evidently have possessed
himself of the Mamelon, since he obtained the summit OF
it. 1t for the generalin to support that at
tack which was brilliant one although repused by the
mpeuous bravery of soldiers Read returned to the
charge and the generaln chief did not him to be
supported with sufficient forces. General 0uschakoT
also redoubled his efforts against the other Maelon, but
there also the generalinchef adopted decisive mea
sure Instead of making diversion on our right by
throwing the corps d'armee Of General apranai against
TchoIgoun and Haslort hekey Of the batte he allowed
it is not known whyhis left to remain unprotected,
in order to send but too late Of the divisions Gen
Iprand to the support Of the attacks the centre Dis
posing Of reserve of 10000 men, he made no use ofit
though the moment was one OF those crises which served
to decide victory, to disengage compromised troops
Finally Prince Gortschako possessed an immense artl
lery but he only made OF it demonstration, and
it the artillery Of the allies which horribly deci-
mated his columns BY his indecison he left them to be
crushed, losing more than 5000 killed wounded,
amongst whom eight generals, three of whom
PRED the banks of the 1chernaya The general, in
fact showed himself It were, completely Disconnected
seeing the affair take what he calls unexpected
turn, IL general could always count infalbls
success and if it not the duty Of generalin
chief to provide for unforeseen incidents. He rumphs
at the French not having to attack him the other
side of the river where he awaited them he says for
four hours but he fegns to forget that have another
task 10 ulhthe siege of sebastopo It Is for him to
to raise the siege, he with his relieving
army. The day win arrive which the allied army will
be free in it's turn togve HIM battle IN the heart OF the
