If the report of our inten ed operations turns out to be true, it is likely that a. battle will have been fought before this letter reaches you be- tween the Turks and Russians, but it must be remembered that, as yet, the force of Turks at Eupatoria. is by no means equal to the under- taking, even thougli fhe French demi-division said to be there should assist them, instead of I acting as a. reserve in the town.

The aid we have given our allies in transporting them to the scene of their labours and their glories is indeed amplv repaid by their cheerful co-operation. The lfrcnch have their share of the sickness which aﬂlicts us in this winter campaign, but the percentage of

picquets. A small party of Rillemen wcrc despatchcd in the direction of the light, and as they approached, they discovered four iucn in the uniform of French soldiers seated round it. On being challenged. the men started to their fcetand tled. Two of them were taken by the Rilleincn; two of them escaped in the brush- wood in the obscurity of the light. A man of the 93rd also deserted, and his body has been found in front of the Russian picquet. He was killed by a musket-shot, and there is no doubt but that as he approached the post, not being able to reply to the challenger, ho was red upon and met his fate—one too good for him. There have been several desertions in front also—-at least, men are missing, and it is supposed they have gone over to the enemy. Sir dmund Lyons has issued an order which has given satisfaction, on which shows his regard for the men under his command. states that, seeing how much “ the comfort and happiness of the fleet de end" on the speedy and punctual delivery of t icir letters, he has felt it right to direct that each ship shall be provided with two letter--bags after a certain model for the convcyaiice and dcspatcli ofh-ttcrs, and tliathooks shall be provided for the registry ot' all parcels pat on board any vessel, so as to insure their delivery.

deaths and men unlit for duty is not so great among them as it is in our camps. The diseases which pursue our men are aggravated b a

peculiar condition of mind which the medical

men have remarked very frequently in their patients—an extreme listlessncss and indiffer- ence to life—a langour which induces the con- valescent to regard “rest” as the rcateet

appiness, and deprives them of any inc ination to make the least effort or even to take food and nourishment. There was nothing done worth notice to-day in front. The French batteries were silent, and the Russians scarcely ﬁred a. shot all da . The usual small—arm practice went on in front of the lines between the shurpshooters.

It is 6 feet deep in some places in the ravines, and on an average is 3; feet deep all over the plain, but it is so hard that one can walk_ovcr it without sinking more than a foot into it. The thermometer marked 24 degrees at8 o'clock this morning, but it is almost a

cad calm, and the sun shines brightly at times. At noon the thermometer rose to 34 degrees. ller .\lajosty‘s ship Firebraiid went out of harbour this morning.

Up to the present date about 14,000 shot and shell of all sorts have been eonve cd from Balaklava to our artillery arks, and in that number is not included 4000 naval shells (with brass fuses). When the batteries open ,each gun will beprovi- ded with 300 rounds of ammunition. There is one mortar at Balaklava which weighs four

ons. How it is to be got to the front is not very easy to determine. A Polish oﬂiccr who

CHt?l'tC(.l recently has given us most valuable information respecting the range of our batter- ies, and there is reason to believe that when our ﬁre reopens, the effect will be so tremen- dons, that the destruction of the place will be inevitable in It very short time.

t is reported that a dcscrter came in from the Russians to-day in an exhausted condition. There was ti considerable movement visible among the Russians towards Baidar and along .\lackcn7.ie's Fariii-road to-day, and is positively stated that hiprandi has received a reinforce- ment of (.'0ll.‘1,l(lI‘l'1l.lllt3 strength. ’l‘lio guns were silent nearly all day.
