Before striking the doc sive blow’, tbo generals wait until the whole of the Turkish division shall have land- iii Eu toris. so as to combine its move- ments with theirs. What is the obsv.-icle which has hitherto rendered the capture of Se po impossible‘ It is. that the allies have not been able to invest the place’. that it was easily sup died with provisions. and that the garrison con d receive continual reinforcements by troops from the army of su rt. ' he Russians have only sought to prolongate this state of things, since the bottle of lnkersnann taught them that they could not raise the siege. The allies on their side are anxious to put an end to it. ldupatorin has been re-occupied by a Euro an division_; artillery and engineer olicers eve been sent thcru to fortify the place and make it a rival of Belaklava, so as to become a point «Pap us‘ for an army of o rations. That army ougit to be there ere t is; it consists ofan Egyptian division and of the beat troop Omar Pschn. it is under the orders of the Turkish Generalissiino. We have said, that Luputoria is to the north of Sebastopol wliut Bauklava is to the south of that city. That will suffice to indicate in what sition the landin of Omar Paclia place; the ussiiin army. whia will be between two fircs. two things one will happen: either the Russian army will attempt to crush the troops that sup- port thomselves upon ‘u toria, with the certainty of being immediately attacked in the rear by the Aug o-French army, end the des- truction of that army of support will deprive Sebastopol of all hopes of a successful resist- ance; or, to avoid giving battle under such disadvantageous circumstances and with such contrary chances, the Russian army will retreat from the banks of the Belbck, as it has already retreated from the banks of the Tchernaya ; it will concentrate on Bakscliiserai or on Simfer- opol, and will abandon Sebastopol to its own resources and the chances of an assault. The retreat of the Russian army would. in fact, be immediately followed by the complete invest ment of the place, and t e dniountnncnt would not have to he waited for long. Thus there would be either a great and decisive battle under the most favourable conditions for the allies. or the retreat of the Russians without a combat and an immediate assault of Sebusto- ol.

We have not had our clothes of Ihese six months, and have not time even to wash our hands. We lie in our ieuis with our belie on. and our fiielocks by our sides ready to be carried at a inomeni‘s notice, and that is very often, I can assure you. As regards our rations. we lie pretty fair, having I lb. of biscuit every day, and lllb. of beef. sometimes salt and sometimes fresh.

From the London Patriot we learn that as, before the battle of tho Alma, the pious men in the arm commended themselves by an act of social prayer to divine protection. so- “ The battle of Inkerman was preceded by a remarkable intercessory meeting, at which ministers and other persons of various denomi- nations assembl to commend the allied arms to the blessing of the God of Battles. This ‘concert of prayer’ took lace at Constanti- nople. The subycct, which ad been previously mentioned in rivate, was introduced, on the day before the battle. at a meeti for business of the American missionaries. ithout any foresight, of course, of the impendin action, arrangements were made for simu tancous pre or in all the Protestant congre ' nat ve and foreign, throughout the oslem ca ital.

He told me, it was a fail- ure—not because it is is less powerful in- strumeut of war than its partisans have declared it to be, when it came to be used with effect, but because that its ellect is Iiii- certain. Where oiic bull hits the mark, six deviate from it considerably, and us the cost of each shot is enormous, the system cannot be kept up, without it ruinous ex- pense. My iiiforinunt says, that in all proba- bility some improvements will be made to remove this uncertainty, and then nothing will resist the effect of the gun. He esti- mates the cost of such discharge from in Lancaster gun at more than £20.
