])l)\0P()SI‘:]) RAISING 01'' THE SIIIGIC.

'l‘ho Constilulionnnl, in an itl'll(‘l0 descriptive of Kiuniesch and the wondrous transformation wrought in the place since it has been occupied by the French, enlarges thus upon the vast im-

ortanco of the fortiﬁcations now in course of completion there :—

“ Without entering upon military consider- ation or details of operations which would be here out of place, we may observe on the im- portant part which Kuiniescli may be called upon to play in the Crimean war, as a possibili- ty which must strike every mind. Now that it is assured of such a formidable basis of opera- tions, the army has perfcct freedom of move- ment, which it had not at the beginning of the campaign. In every possible contingency the possession ofKiimiesch, fortiﬁed as it now is, will aid in the accomplishment of the object with which the war in the Crimea was under- taken. Sebastopol, eoinmandid by Kamiescli, which holds it, so to speak, by the throat, can never henceforth be ofany use to the zar. On the en position that events should call the army to resh points of the Russian territory, who does not see that the presence of a few French and English ships at Kamicsch would sullice to nullif the entire oﬂeiisive power of Scbastopoll Tierefore, the possibility of the ll0BlLlSA'I'l0.\' of the allied army and of the h'L’LLI- FICATION of Sebastopol arc the two grand results ofthe tritnsforiniition of Kamicsch into a place of war. It is now the scntinel—the keeper of the Russian citadel. ‘ ° ° France now knows that without abandoning its conquest, itmay at will send an army of 100,000 men to an oint where the glorious cause for which it is ligliting by the side of England may call for their services. "

This looks as if it were desired to prepare the public mind for the possibility of such an event as the raising the siege of Sebastopol.

At night one might sleep under onc's (mic 1!’ abri were it not for shot and shell; by day one might do so too. were it not for the sun and ﬂics, which wear out the men more than can be imagined. The fire is, however, violent on both sides. There is no room for anything save an artillery strugg7e, unless another attack by main force were attempted. The Russians tried it sortie in the night from the 16th to the 18th, but were energetically thrown back. They tried to deploy two battalions. in order to resist, but space was wanting for them to ina- n_<cuvre in, and bayonets hemmed them on all sides. so the were forced to leave the place. Our losses are considerable just now ; we lose, on average, 40 men a night. Amongst the last wounded is one oftlie best oﬂicers in the army, the Engineer-commandant Boissonnet, aide-dc- camp to General Bizot: he was hit by a ball in the ace, and it is feared the woundwill neces- sitate amputation.

THE DEATH OF ADMIRAL NACHIMOFI-‘.

Loo at the proportion borne h the ollicers to the men in the returns ofkillc and wounded in all the actions that have taken place. It is always nearly double what it ought to be. Loo at the very last allair, that of the 18th of June, a on which we find 9. list of 103 officers to some 308 men, the number which would have answered for 3000. And why is this? Because the oﬂicers, being English gentlemen, are accustomed to set an example to them. and the men, although ready enough to follow, always expect _to be led. Depend on it the less wcinterferc with the eo_n- stitution of the British army, the better it will be for the troops, as well as for the country; and I myself have always considered it a sub- ject of regret, that the Committee of Inquiry, which has been lately sitting. instead of _ex- amining witnesses who were not in a position to ktiow much of what they were questioned about, had not sent to Paris, or broughbovet some French oﬂiccrs who he. been associated with the English troops; they would then have found. that our allies have formcda very differ- cnt estimate of the merits of our troops from , that which has been formed by some of their own countrymen.

THE FLEET OFF CRONSTADT.

Orr Caoxsranr, July l6.—The powerful naval forces of the allies, which within the past few days have been augmented to 40 sail, compri- sing 16 steam line-of-battle ships, two steam frigiitcs, four siuall steamers, four mortar-ves- eels. and 14 giinboiits, after a strict reconnais- szinco for a period exceeding three weeks of the

lattes ofa general, and in this dress he would show liiiuself on the most advanced fortifica- tions, in order to observe the movements of thei bcsicgcrs.

To surround Sebastopol and cut off supplies to the garrison by land, while the place is blockadcd b sea, might well be a more eﬂlictual ‘ plan for reducing the place than sending mas- ses of men to be mown down by cannon from earthwork batteries. It is consolatory to be told that by reason of Kamiescli being convert- ed into it stronghold, the allied armies can now take the field if necessary. But decision and activity are above all things necessary, seeing how short is the campaigning season between this and the approaching winter.

INTERESTING FRENCH LE'l'l'Ell.

The Paris newspa r, La Press. has the fol- lowing interesting ettcr from the Crimea :— " We are but slowly advancing towards Mala- koff, but as rapidly as it is possible to do when you think oft e enemy's vigorous defence, and of the hard rocky nature of the ground. On the 17th the engineers were at 240 metres from the works, and at about 40 metres from the ambuscades. S ite of this short distance, we get shell from tie Russians still ; and they are more than ever dangerous. You will see why. They send us shells. as I said, but the short- nose of the distance forces them todisoliarge them at an angle of lit to 70 degrees, with a vo- r weak loading. The consequence is, that they make little noise, and the shell from a cer- tain height falls perpendicularly, and in zig- zag line, like those fireworks that are called serpents. Not being prepared, one has no time to cry ‘ mind the shot ’ (gore lo bombe!) Add to this a shower of hand grenades, a hurricane of bullets and canister shot, so soon as one

SIR GEORGE BROWN ON THE WAR. . Sir George Brown havin taken up his resi-

dence at Lcamin ton, on tie 28th u t. some of the inhabitants o the town and neighbourhood made a ublic recognition of his gallant ser- vices in the East, by the presentation of an ad-

drcss, most numerously signed, and entrusted

to a de utation. 'l‘hc address having been

read an handed to the gallant general, be

shortly addressed the deputation. In the course

of his address he said—“ With respect to the

army. I may safely assert that its conduct has

been be ond all raise, and that at no period

in the istory 0 this country has the nation

more reason to be proud of the conduct of its

troops. I speak not, mind you, of the soldiers

alone, but include with them the oﬂicers by

whom they have been led : for, gentlemen, the

men of the army arc indignant at the attempts

that have been made by an unscrupulous porti-

on of the press in this country to vilify their olliccrs, and to separate their interests from

their own. It~is a mistztkeand misapprehen- sion to assert that tho oflicers of the army are gciicrally and habitually inattentive to their ditty, or that the condition of the troops would be improved by having it larger portion of thcui drawn from the ranks, for it is precisely be- cause they are gcntlcincn, that the men are so much attached to them.

north shore of Cronstadt, weighed anchor at seven ii. in. of the 14th inst.-int. Two ours had barely elapsed after the anchors had been weighed on the morning of the I4th before the three Admirals. Dundos, Pcnniid, an Sey- mour, artcd company in their respective ships, the Duhe of Wellington, the Tourville, and the Exmouth, with tho Austerlitz and Merlin in attendance, on route for Nargen. The Eurya.- lus had been sent in advance at four 3.. m. with four mortar vessels, for the some destination. The remainder of the allied squadrons, havin been placed under the orders of Rear-Admire Baynes, immediately after the departure of the three senior-ﬂag-ofnccrs, anchored about four mi es W. by W. of Tolboukin Lighthouse, where they are to remain until further orders. I have good reasons for stating that the separa- tion of the three admirals from the main bulk of the ﬂeet is merely temporary, and has occurred in consequence of Rear Admiral Penaud having conceived it plan for an attack on Revel, the practicability of which Rear-Admirals Dundee and Seymour have gone to ascertain by per- sonal observation. If the result should be suﬂiciently satisfactory to justify the bombard- ment of that port, it will be made by the.en- tirc ﬂeet, with the exception of such ortion thereof as may be necessary to watch t e pro- ceedings of the Russians of} this and other laces in the Gulf of Fnland. The defences of Eronstadt and Sweaborg have been so consider- ably augmented by the enemy in all respects during the last twelve months, that they are- unassailable by the present marine forces of the allies. During the present week there has been little of interest connected with the pro- ceedings of tho ﬂeet. The word Crimea should not be called Cri-mes, but Crim-ea. " recollection of the Crim ‘future will suggest the proper pronunciation.
