tinues to be believed that Prince Gortschakof will
be replaced by Prince Mourayieff in the command
of tho Crimean army. Acknowledged as tho skill
Of the latter has always been a general, he has
been permitted to remain for years in a compare

some years since, after having distinguished
himself greatly in tho Caucasus, Mouravieff return

must judge for myself whether your pretensions
are well founded Take the command of a corps,
and manpuvre against another which shall act un-
der my directions. Do your best, for do not in
tend to spare YOU
The mnn9Ivres had hardly commenced when
the emperor lost sight of the corps opposed him.
Some hours passed and, as no Mouravieff appear

unfortunately for the military reputation of tho
sovereign, the corps of his adversary was ceal-

which he had withdrawn Mourayieff suddenly

Mourayieff, and thus addressed him: II congratu.

Ion knew his master Mouravief was under a
cloud and nothing more was heard of him until
very recently, when he reappeared on the scene as

=, hiSBuRs.-The capture of Kinburn by the al
nos u one OF some general Importance The To-
caty and value Of the place are thus stated in an
English paper. 80 :
kinburn is situated at the extreme western
point Of peninsula which forms the southern shore
OF the estuary Of the Dneiper. On the opposite
SIDE is the celebrated Oczakof, the capture of
which by Catharine gave rise to singular episode
m m our Parliamentary history The projection of
these promontories and the shalowness Of the wa
ter leave only narrow channel of less than
mile in width, by which the Dneiper and the Bug
can be reached The water pear Oczakoff and
hinourn is nowhere more than four fathoms in
depth, and Immediately the gulf of tho Dneper is
entered, it shoals to three fathoms
About so miles east of the entrance stands Cher
son. at the head of the delta of the Dneper to the
north of wilderness of marshy islands, The Bug
nows into the gulf Of the Dnieber, and about IS
miles up the Bug is Niclotaieff, the building yard
OF the Black Sea feet Kinburn and Oczakoff
therefore form the towers of the gate which leads
70 TWO of Russia's most important military towns
IL has been generally said that Odessa is the
storshouse which supplies the Russian armies in
the Crimea We believe this notion to be only par
tiaiy correct; indeed little examination will show
that the town does not lie between the chief corn
growing districts and the Crimea and the supplies
would be taken out of their way by being carried
70 Odessa. There is every reason to believe that
Nlcholaieff, and, still more, Cherron, are the chief
granarles OF the Russian armies, or at least that
through them one line of the conyoys passes which
have SO long supplied Sebastopol"
1t Is now evident that the appearance of the al
lies before Odessa was feint, no doubt intended
to draw off the troops from Oczakoff. -e
