Gen. Canrobert who commanded the infantry. The col
umn, after marching through the Pedmontese camp, de
cended by the avines TO the Tchernaya and assembled
along the left bank of the river 10 the village OF Badar
situated close the goges Of the mountains OF Noouska
There they found number of inhabitants, who had
not fled at the injunction OF the Cossaeks need not tell
you that both persons and property were respected Cen
Morris had formally forbidden the plumber and itrea-
Hnent of the inhabitants The column after hating there
hours retraced lis steps and returned TO its camp at
l. p m after penetrating to distance Of three leagues
into the country occupied by the enemy Dur ng this bold
march there but slight engagement between the add
vance guard and party of Cossacks, five OF whom were
KILLED. The Russians continually retreaied adj
vanced
MONDAY, 4th.-It reported that all the batteries
would open their fire this morning The hnssian works
but this could not be the case have already mentioned
you, from the incomplete stnie of trenches the
'e'i attack The English may be ready to nnmask the
batteries they have constructed 700 yards from the
russian fortifcaons but two batteries erecting
within so 10 100 yards Of the enemy must first be terminus
led before the eahwoks OF the place be battered with
effect These batteries will be completed in few days
TUESDAY,, 5th.-Last night the cannonnde unusu-
ally brisk the left The enemy endeavcred to destroy
already informed you that had succeeded in connecting
the T. with the battery 49, in the village OF the Quarantine
by taking in the entire cemetery At this moment we are
extending parallel line and little in advance Of that
eptrenchmen work, which will begin in the middle
OF the left front Of the cemetery and end at the bottom of
The bay.
Th greatly annoys the Russians who see themselves so
completely hemmed in that between the Central Bason
and that Of the Quarantine works only separated
by the three ravines from the creneaed wall Notwith
standing the immense quantity OF proectes they have
thrown dnrng the night they killed very few of
and but slightly damaged our works The bescged also
Kept up heavy fire against the English in the centre and
against the right attack, from o'clock to 8 M but not
having anybody from that quarter cannot tell you
what occurred there"
Another French letter of June from before Sebastopo
says:
yet generally recommended but the English throw
nous shells into the city. From moment to another
expecting the assault and the attacking columns
are already marked out General Morris, who has
ceeded General Canrober in the command Of the army of
the Tchernaya made reconnaissance Saturday which
lasted AZ hours but without meeting the enemy lie took
OFT a convoy of stores without resistance.
"The health Of the army is good Epidemic diseases
we're pprehended but owing to the precautions taken BY
the CHEF physician of the army, and Notwithstanding
heat OF 80 degrees they have not yet appeared. do
not stop TO mention cases of cholera and yphus
which have not epidemic character. The news from
ie sea OF Azof continues good The occupation OF those
waters much serious than is supposed because it
is thence that the Russians drew the greater part of their
supplies
+" Genitehi Arabat Marioupol and Taganrog are ours
and strategic routes of the greatest importance have been
cut and the wells filed up Ships have been destroyed
iaed that these establishments contained at least three
months ood for the Russian army 1t appears that the
generals have still more extensive projects reinforce
ments are on Che point OF leaving for Kawiesch."
