'Sebastopol Jiss, ere this, surrendered, there seems to be no doubt in the minds of those best qualllsd to judge correctly in the matter. It would seem that the Russian General was so psrfntly satisfied with superiority of his position, that he felt quite certain, that no force that the allies could bring against him, would make the least 'iii_preseion, and had the position. of the two arm es been reversed, there is no doubt that such would have been the case. Had the English and French occupied the hei ts of Alma, an liundrsd thousand Russians iui t have attempted it in vain. In fact, they re too iuuch on their position, and acoordin

Thisis the-Bret time that the Russians have felt the united force of the allies, and the encounter must.have convinced them, that against such men, enimnlsd with the remembrance of former victoriee._. end 3 with an enthusiastic spirit of generous rivalry pervading both nations, an army,‘hewever naturally brave, but who have no other feeli to keep them united than the tie
