A despatch from Prince Gortschakoﬂ, of the 3d inst., states, that on the 30th of May the allied ﬂeet. withdrew from Genitchi, and that the Russian authorities hope to be able to save a portion of the supplies which had been set on lire.

Ssnssroron, May 26.—Yesterday, between 1 and 2 p. in. the enemy's ﬂeet, with troops on board approached the Gulf of Kertch. This day, before Sebastopol, considerable forces of the enemy are established on the heights on the left bank of the Tchernaya, and have con- structed a camp there, which they appear to have the intention of fortifying. Advanced posts occupy the right bank of the same river.

A report from Prince Gortscbakoﬁ, dated Schustopol, June 1, makes the following an- nouncement -—

Tlie enemy (the allies) have burnt our vessels and stores at (ienitchi and Berdiansk. the former on the 29th and theflatter on the 27th May.

FURTHER SUCCESS IN TE] SEA OF Z

A OFF.

Intelligence has been received at the Admi- ralty from Sir E. Lyons, at Kertch, dated the 31st of May, to the elect that the squadron in the Sea of Ariel! had appeared before Genitehi, landed a bed of seamen and marines. and, after drivingt e Russian force from the lace, has destroyed all the de ts and vessels aden with corn and supplies or the Russian army. One man only was wounded.

Since entering the Sea of Azolf four steamers of war and 240 vessels emplo ed in come ing supplies to the army in the Crimea have een destro ‘ed.

The latest advices from the Sea of Azoffstate that the steam ﬂotilla of the allies has destroy- ed above 200 vessels and six millions of rations of corn and ﬂour destined for the Russian army at Sebastopol.

'icN.-cs, June 2,—A despatch from Prince Gortschakoﬂ, dated the 29th, states, that the allies have occupied Kertch, but have not pushed inwards. He reports that in conse- quence of the measures which he has taken, the allies will not be able to cut olfthe communi- cations of the Russian army.

The following are the terms in which the late operations of the allied forces in the Cri- mea liave been announced in the St. Peters- burg journals :—

“ At two o’clock in the afternoon of the 24th the allied forces appeared in the Straits of Kertch. Near Sebastopol, considerable forces of the allied army have occupied the heights on the left bank of the Tchernay, and are establsh- ing a fortiﬁed camp there.”

EVACUATYON OF SOUJAB KALI.

“ SEBASTOPOL, June 3.—News from Kertch of the 2nd instant. Everything is going on satis- fiietoril . Captain Moore had arrived from Circassia with the intelligence that Sou’ h Cali was evacuated on the 28th May. "he Russians had burnt the principal buildings, and abandoned 60 ans and six mortars, hav- ing first rendered t em unserviceable.”

S. llighﬂyer, who ha just returned from the coast of Circassia, reports that the enemy had entirely evacuated Soujah Kali, after destroying all the public buildings, 60 guns and six mortars. The enemy appears to be concentrating at Anapa, and to be strengthening his works there. The fort on the road between Soujah Kali and Anapa is also evacuated."

PARIS, June 5.—The Moniteur announces that the Minister of War has received the following despatch from General Pclissicr :—

“Criinea, June 2, l(‘ .m.——Advices re- ceived from Kertcli, dated the 31st of May, announce that, on the refusal of the military « authorities of Genitchi, situate on the northern extremity ofthe tongue ofland of Arabat,to give up the government stores and 90 vessels laden with provisions for the Russian army in the Crimea, the s uadron, under the orders of

‘aptaiii Lyons, oinbarded the place, drove out the troops. and destroyed all the stores.

" The enemy has thus lost, in four diiys, an immense quantit of provisions, four war stcaincrs, and 240 vessels employed exclusively in provisioning the troopsin the Crimea.”

LATl-SST OPERATIONS IN THE CRIMEA.

The temporary interruption of the electric telegraph between Varna and Balaklava has already been repaired, and the first message received by the Government announces the im- portant fact that the bombardment ofsebastopol l'6CUlnl'ut‘llC0d on the afternoon of the 6th inst. in this interval of time, however, the ordinary mails have brought us despatches of the highest interest with reference to the action fought by the French on the nights of the 22d and 23d of May, the advance of the army to the Tchernaya, and the Kcrtcli expedition.

The assault made by the French upon the Russian lines of counter-approacli in front of the left attack was, without doubt, one ofthe most gallant and sanguinary actions of the war. Many a battle has been fought with less daring and won at it less cost. The Russians disputed

tured and destroyed near Cronstadt, and others run ashore and burned.

A correspondent ofthe Tiincs, at Konigs- berg, writes that the commercial advantages which Prussia is deriving from its neutrality are neither so great nor so decided as they are believed to be. On the general and regular commerce of the country, the war has acted like a blight.

The news of the entrance of the allied ﬂeets into the Sea of Azoff has caused al great sensation at St. Petersburg. The Government is accused of having neglected this last refuge of the Commercial ﬂag o I Russia, and of having spent millions on Se-‘l bastopol, while nothing was done for thef protection ofthe Sea of Azotf.

A letter from Berlin, in the Journal du. Debates, says that the health of his Majesty ’ is by no means satisfactory. l

every inch of ground with the utmost courage and tenacity. The troops fought under the fire 0 an immense range of guns in position. and the obscurity of the night added to the gloom and horror of this tremendous contest. After the cessation of the ﬁre on the second morning the works which had been thus firmly dispute were found strewn with l,200 Russian dead. and the total loss of the enemy in killed and wounded must have exceeded 6,000 men. The French on their side admit a loss of 650 men killed and nearly 2,000 wounded, among whom the Voltigeurs ofthe lmperialGuard may claim at once the heaviest amount of casualties and the most brilliant share in the victory. The Russian engineers had endeavoured to form an extensive outer-work on the left of the French attack by lines starting from the bottom of the bay in front of the Quarantine Battery, skirting the side of the Cemetery, and connected by a long covered way with the lunette of the (Jen- tral Bastion. This extraordinary work, which would have enabled the enemy to entreneb an army on the left of the French position, was:

marked out and rudel thrown up in the night of the 21st of May. eneral Pelissier instantly resolved to attack it, before it approached com- pletion, and to turn the work against the ene- my—in other words, to storm it, to hold it, and to reverse it. This diflicult and formidable operation was efected after two ni hts of in- cessant ﬂghtin by the daring and rmness of the French. ‘he works were taken and re- taken successively at the point of the bayonet, and it was not until they had sustained enor- mous losses that the Russians gave in. In front of the Cemetery. more especially, twelve or fifteen Russian battalions were collected un- der General Chruloﬂ, with a view of making a sortie on the same night, and it was here that General I’ale‘s division advanced to the attack.

or six mortal hours of the night the battle continued; and when inornin dawned, and coiupelled the combatants to withdraw from the tire of the batteries, the battle was but half won. On the following evening, however, General Levaillant‘s division renewed the at- tack in the same place, and in three quarters ofan hour the French had carried everything before them. The engineers than established themselves in the work, which enables the French guns to enfilade the Flagstaff Battery and several other important positions of the enemy. This affair does the highest honor to the French army. It shows of what those gal- lant troops are capable under an energetic commander, and, at the same time, it demon- strates the necessity of advancing with caution and with all the resources of scientific warfare against an enem who defends even his lines of counter-approaci as resolutely as he defended in 1812 the batteries at the Borodino.

The information we possess of General Csnro- bi-rt’s movement on the 'l‘chernsys on the 25th of May is less complete, and it does not extend to the whole nprrallori, which has since been made known to us by telegraph. On that day a corps consisiinu of 25,000 men, including the Ssrdinisn Bersaglieri, a Turkish division, and the British cavalry. to support the French in- fsnli_v, crossed the river without opposition, drove back ﬁve or six Russian battalions on the other side, and reconnoitred the country to Tchorgoun, after which the French withdrew to the left bank of ilie stream. General Pelissier’s telegraphic ilespaich of the 27ih had led us to suppose. that the French had ihen entrenched themselves at Tchergoun. on the further side of the Tchsrnaya, but this is not yet conﬁrnied by the despalches. ll. is, however. certain. that the allied troops occupy the whole valley—s position which forms amost agreeable contrast to the aspect of the camp on the plateau before Sebsstopol.

These operations, though eminently successful, are still of an undecided character; but the naval enterprise which has been conducted with so much spirit by Sir E. Lyons and Adniirsl Brunt has led to more immediate resulis, and the vivid

CANADA.

Qusarc, May 25.

A doubt has been expressed by some of our contemporaries, that it will be scarcely pos- sible to retain a suﬂicient llouse to hurr through a simple measure in acquiescence with the wish of t e Imperial Government concern- ing a grant of one million of acres, that ller Majest may be enabled to offer settlements in this co ony to foreign legionuries. 'l‘liis wish has been expressed in a tone so moderate and conciliatory. so complimentary to the inhabi- tants of the Province, so conﬁdentially trustful of their professed loyalty, that a Bill in ac- cordance wit the wish should be pushed through the Legislature with the utmost zeal and cordiality. There is an area of nearly twelve millions of acres about to be opened for colonization in a part of this Province most important as a connecting bond between the Eastern and Western sections. and destined to beef the greatest value in future times. To get this district speedily and t-fliciently settled is an object ofextremc conseqiiciicu to Canada. The district extends from the Georgian llay on Lake lluron to the Ottawa. from the countries fronting on Lake Ontario to Lake Nipissing and the French River. Of these twelve mil- lions of acres the Home Government ask for one million, not for any selfish purposes of ag- grandisement, but with the ulterior view of supplying the colony with a class of emigrants

do-scripiion ofthe arrival of the combined forces off the Straits of Yenikiile, which we have received from our Crimean correspondent, will he read with the greatest interest. Although ihe success ofthe expedition was in ihe highest degree prompt, complete, and bloodless, ii is evident that the Russians were by no means unprepared for a much more formidable resistance. The garrison of the forts at the Straits amounted to 10,000 men ; these works were armed with new guns of heavy metal, which opened without much success upon our uunboais; and the stores of powder and munitions of war destroyed by the enemy in his retreat were immense. It seems, also, from Sir 1'}. l.yons's despatch, that the Russians had sunk no less than 40 vessels last year to block up the passage of the straits, but that these obstacles were carried away by the current and the ice during the winter, and had not yet been replaced. This fact serves in part to account for the previous delay ofthe expedition, and shows that it could not have been attempted at is more favourable moment. The absence of wind placed the Rue- sizin ships at ilie mercy of the steam giiiiboals. but nothing can surpass the gallantry and nautical skill with which Lieutenant M'Killop, in commsiid ofihe Snake, succeeded in bsﬂling and cutting ivffihree sail of the enemy, under the fire of their own batteries and in the presence of the whole

it would seem that the magnitude of the ex- pedition, consisting of twelve line-of-battle sliipa. l-Inglisli and French, and abopt ﬁfty sail of frigatcs and smaller craft, coinplelely daunled ilic enemy; ollieri-vise there was no reason for the immediate ev:icu.ilioii of positions which were certainly capable of (l(>'r8llCe. The systems of the Russians seems to be, however, to destroy rather than to cnpilnlste; and we shall not be surprised to find that even at Sebsslopol they are preparing to blow up the works they can no longer hold The has already inflicted on the enemy by Ilie Kerlch expedition must be enormous. and. train the quantities of gunpowder and arms accumulat- ed there, as well as from ilie state of the military liospilals, the town of Kc-rich seems to have bi-en used for one of the depois of the Crimean army.

As Lord rey in his dcspatcli observes, the promise ofa future settlement in a British Colony would to such people an inducement ofa peculiar value, because attractive chieﬂy to that class, which it is most desirable to enlist, men of steady habits and honorable character. Cans- da will never be the stable and united Canada which it ought to be, till the extensive regions forming its northern cordon are settled. per- forated by roads connecting the East and Vi est by routes much shorter than those at present available. The strength and stability of the country would be greatly increased both in a civil and iuilitiiry view by connected settle- ments ulong this central line of communication.
