INTINDID ASSAULT ON IIBASTOPOL.

Pains, June 30.—-General Pelissier reports that he will make another assault early in July, and that, should it be unsuccessful, he will raise the siege, and attack the Russian army in the open field; but he is determined to defer no longer strikinga decisive blow. The government is preparing for all ernergences, and is sending to the firimea 50,000 men from the camp in the nort .

From the European Times, July 7. THE MALAKOFI‘ AND THE REDAN.

The melancholy details which have come to hand during the present week, respecting the abortive attack by the allied forces on the Re- dan and the Malakofi Tower, have caused much

sin, and produced considerable de ression ord Raglan is now beyond the wor d’s con-

sure ; but General Pelissier. who is in the flesh, l

the contract, which he did, "‘ not wisely but too well.” T has of yesterday, indeed, maintains, with apparentl unanswerable force, that this attack on the Re an was more wanton- pess—a positive waste of life without an ob- cot . “ The Redan is a work which projects or ad- vances considerably in front of the Malakofi‘, and the fire even of the Mamelon takes the Re- dan in flank. The Redan is,moreover,lower than these works, and is commanded b them. ’l‘he double operation of the 18th of mic is there- fore reduced to this dilemma:—It‘ the French attack on the Malakoff works reved unsuccess- ful, it was totally impossible or the English or any other troops to ‘occupy the Radon, or to 1 ho d it. even if they had crossed the abattis and V the ditch ; but if the French attack on the Ma-

lakofi works had succeded, then neither could the Russians have continued to hold the Radon; they must inevitably have been driven out of it in a few hours by the fire of the Malakofi and the Mamelon directed against themselves, and

exhibited in the acting of this lamentable tra- ; gcdy, for it now appears that the original plan of attack on which the allied coiiiinaiidcrs had ngrced,—-upon which they had doubtless bos- towed tlio utmost cat-e,—wa.=i changed at the very last moment, in deference to the vi lsll of the French commander, who laboured under an extraordinary hallucination alcout anticipating some iniaginary sortie on the part of the enemy. This is not the first instance in which the cun- ning of the Russians has outiiiatched the gul- lantry of the allies ; and the following incident, mentioned by Lord Raglan in his despatcli, prltlives the snare into which the assailants e

gineers of the two services, and the armies in encral, to conclude that the Russian Artillery t re was, in a great measure, subdued, and that the operation we projected could be undertaken with ever prospect of success. The result has shown, t at the resources of the eneniv were not exhausted, and that they had still the ppwer, either from their ships or from their tterics, to bring an overwhelming fire upon their assailants.

The original plan was to have renewed the fire in the morning, and after csnnonading for two or three hours. and thus disabling the guns which the enemy had renewed during the night, to storm the points referred to. But carried away by the deception mentioned in the foregoing extract, and believing that the enemy was really exhausted, General Pelissier became the victim of Russian ingenuity, by assaulting in the dawn of the morning witho previous cannonading, and the result waa—but hery unexamplsd even in the history of siegea. This change in the programme is entirely traceable to the French commander, for which the English general was only answerable in so far as that he agreed to it. In short, the allied commanders are no match in l the way of duplicity for the Russians, for on the : 7th, when the allies were in possession of the. Quarries and the Mamclon, a mantnuvre equally l clover was practised by the enemy. to which we ,' drew attention at the time. It was tbis,—that thsl Russians, finding the Malakofftlireatened by the l French, who had secured the Mamelon, asked‘ furatruce on the plea of burying their dead, which was granted. and during the three hoiirsj over which this truce extended, the enemy,; contrary to all the known rules of war, laboured ' incessantly in fortifyinc the approaches, and thus stealthily defrauded the besicners of the fruits of their hard-earned victory. These tactics show cleverness on the part of the Russiaiis; but the annoying feature is, that they are not penetrated and taken for what they are worth by their more iugenuons opponents. ;

As in near y all such cases, the first blunder ' was not the last. ot only was the enemy in the strongest possible force, for Lord Raglan as s, “I never before witnessed such a con- tinued and heavy fire of grape, combined with musketry, from the enemy's works which ap- peared to be fully manned;" but at the com- mencement, a blunder was made by a French oflicer of division, who mistook the signal for attaekin the Malakoff, and thus destro ed that

“ How are times with you?” is the common question addressed to every passing stran er, and the universal answer is, “ dull, very do I.” We have heard this answer so often, that it has aroused our curiosity, and we have paid some attention to facts, in order to learn upon what premises this conclusion of universal stagnation was based. When there has been a universal demand for any one particular article. that circumstance is certain to affect every thing else, and activity in one quarter imparts at general quickness of movement in every other part of the market, as a stone thrown into the water, shows, by the circles oflittle waves that it occasions, that the sensation is perceived at a very great distance. But there are times when, by one universal consent almost, men concur in denoniinating them dull, and thfi we have found to be the period just before the prospects of the expected liurvestcan be pronoun- ced upon with any dcgree_of probability. This is extremely natural, during the preparation of the land for the crop; or rather just before or just after there is a good deal of stir in the market: then comes 0. calm. the calm ofantici- potion, we wait to see how what we have planted is growing, and whether we are likely to have a good crop, and whatever may he the judgment pronounced. the result is the same Speculation is equally busy, whether the crop

romises to be heavy or light. If the former, additional markets must be sought for, or seine ini rovement in the manner of preparing the artic 0, so as to make it more attractive to custonicrs is set on foot. If the latter. specula- tion is ugutiu on the cm‘ tire to secure to itself as iiiiicli of the coiiiinodity as can l)e purchased when prices are low, to be sold again when the sc.ti'eity niakes itself more felt, So it is at the present iiioiucnt. .\lerc;tntile men are busy watcliiiig the aspect not only qf the commercial but of the political horison. As soon as the clouds clear off and there is, as there appears to be now,prospccts of g;iiii.t':io busy hum of trade will be again heard, and tiiitcs will again be brisk, as men in business say; that is, every man will be speculating as to how iuuch he can make out of his neighbour.

Our own idea. is, that things wear, as far as can be well predicted, a favourable aspect for both farmer and merchant, every prospect for it. plentiful crop, and this in an agricultural country is the main spring by which the move- ments ofall the rest is regulated.

It is stated that a force exceeding 25,000 men (infantry and artillery) will proceed to the Baltic, to, co-operate with the allied fleets. France, it is understood, will furnish by for the greater portion of this expeditionary army, in which a division of the Anglo-Foreign Legion is expected to embark.

For Ilaszard’s Gazettee.

ir: In the Errunincr of the ninth of this month, there is a letter from the Montreal Gazette, written from this Island. The Eraniincr praises very highly the writer,for having written among other things. “ That under the operation of_a Registry Law, the Fee simple ofour Island, will pass into the rightful hands of tho lenantry.’ .‘ir, a greater fallacy was never written ; I will prove it by himself, he says in a fornicr part 0 his letter, that the Registry Law will enable a a Tenant to ascertain who is entitled to receive his money for rent. In the name of common sense, how will a Re istry Law make the Fee simple of our Islan pass into the. rightful hands of‘ the Tenantry, the assertion is prepos- terous, tlio object of the writer and his flatterer, appears to be, to deceive both the people of Canada and this Island. If the writer wanted to enlighten the readers of the Montreal Ga- zette, on the political afiitirs of this Island, he would have written, that our Island, has on- d a Legislature for Eiglity-two years, and during that period, there have been twenty General Flcctions, and twenty General Assem- blies havo met and sat for the despateh of hu- siness, but never before in all that time, was
