Foreign Gossip: 49,
SIR RoBBERT PEEL, is said 10 filee been
drunk during the war debate in the British
Parliament. It is certain that he managed
to make very rambling ana foolish speech.
The Lonior correspondent of the New
York Tribune states that tire Duke Of Cam.
bridge has become fonatic, and that Miss
Fenbroth the mother Of his children, has gone
out East to hufse him. Miss F. was originally
en- actress, and became the mistress of the
Duke. The Duke IS a cousin of Queen Vic
toria, and the irrmediate cause Of his de-
rangement is thorsht to be the murder Of his
troops at the battle of Inkermann.
Lord George Pagnt, who fought gallently
at the Alma and ,Inkermann, and who sud-
denly resigned his commission and returned
home, is to return 10 the Crimea Immediately.
The whole influence Of the Court was used 10
induce him TO return to the seat Of war,
where he will, probably, soon find grave
and the secret Of his dissatisfaction, which
came near being national scandal, will be
b-fied with him. The probability is that he
was thoroughly Disguised with the incompe-
fency of Lord Raglan.
The story OF Lord Forth, which has excited
much Indignation. rs as follows;
He 10 yosng officer, minor, as it seems.
not much Of hero. ln the battle of The Al Ina,
he threw himself on the ground, n screamed
J-"l am frighted, can't 6ght." Lord Raglan
sent him word, that in the next battle he was
expected TO ditiDguish himself by dis gallant
~. that bis cowardice nigh, be forgotten -
But at Inkermann he again behaved as
cowardly two officers, therefore, were sent
by the GeneraIin- Chief to cast away his
Iepaulettcs, to break his sword, and kick him
|, out Of camp. He returned to England dis
graced man; his family disown him, and The
clubs are closed against him.
II is generally thought that il st. Arnaud
: had lived, Sevastopol would have fallen long
!, ago. He proposed 10 march at once upon
the town, and take it by assault. He died,
and Lord Raglan, having no enterprise, fell
enormous batteries to oppose him, reinforce
ments poured in for Menchikoff. and the
beseigers became besciged.
, The want of perfect good feeling among
the A lies was manifested at Inkermann.
Eight thousand English were here surpris-
{, ed and attacked by far superior force; the
{ French were only three miles distant, while
they came very slowly to the assistance OF
the English. General Catcheart. leading in
person a desperate attack against the Rus.
STA ms, in which he met his death, was cody
: asked by the French aid-de-camp, whether
! he required the assistance of the Frerch!
TIL, poor General sarcaslcally replied
l"Indeed, we require assistance! but cont
hurry yourselves" He knew the spirit oil
both armies. A few minutes later, he was q
n corpse. The private letters from the Crmea
' which are not in the papers, call the cam.
, paign a complete failure. and Layard, who
was present at the Alma, and at Balaklavs
and Inkerma M, calls the battle OF Inkerma nm
e fatal victory, prognosticating defeat. What.
ever be ths spirit of the troops, the officers
of the two rmies do not agree. The French
find that the English are naughty in private
circles, aud though very gaIlant soldiers
altogether destitute of the knowledge neces-
s sary for an oficer-the English officers
I again, fluid the French officers vulgar, because
they associate with the privates and nome ON.

e Marshal Banrobert. writing from the camp
before Sevastopol, on the 2Sth November
says of firing of the Russians.
:, Never before was witnessed such con.
sumption of powder and ball. Onr artillery
calculate that since our arrival ur der the
walls of Sevastopol, the enemy has fired
' 400 900 canon shot, and consumed 100000
. kilogrammus Of powder, Some idea may be
+ formed from this of the supply that mus,

that place.
e Conrobert writes of the solidity Of the
: army:
l can assure you, Monsieur lie Marechal
: that the army acquires rare solidi,y, and you
cannot imagine to what point our young
men, suddenly impressed by the grandeur Of
the struggle, become old soldiers. You
= would not have seen, without the most lively
feelings Of satisfaction the lines drawn Out
and remaining calm and immoveable under
q FIRE of artillery, which Lord Raglan has
declared to me was heavier than that which
was heard at Waterloo.
