inst, that Taganrog and Berdiansk had been
again bombarded, and rumor that Revel had
been attacked by the Allies
The Allies have proved the necessity of keep

before; the circumstances of the repulse on the
18th would seem to warrant the belief of traitors

quite contrary to its decision. We all suppose
that our next assault will take place at some
moment when we least expect it, or, as French
ofhcer remarked, no further notice will be given
beyond elk bayonets." Forward"

Runaore3 Bombdrdment of Revel-There

II again open this letter to inform you that
there is a rumor throughout the feet that we all

Sweaborg. Should such be the case, there will
be some warm work-hard knocks on both
sides-and many gallant tar will lose the
number of his mess before the British union

all busy to-day getting in shell from the Eolus,
she having arrived from England last night.
