Titre :
Morning chronicle and commercial and shipping gazette
Sous un titre qui a varié (Morning Chronicle, Quebec Morning Chronicle, Quebec Chronicle), un journal de langue anglaise publié à Québec qui met notamment l'accent sur l'actualité commerciale et maritime. [...]
Fondé en 1847 par Robert Middleton et Charles Saint-Michel, ce journal est d'abord connu sous le nom de Morning Chronicle. Son programme éditorial est tourné vers les intérêts britanniques, ce qui plaît aux conservateurs et aux impérialistes. Toutefois, cela n'en fait pas une publication politique pour autant puisque l'on y évite les longs éditoriaux et les sujets polémiques, probablement pour se différencier du Quebec Gazette, ancien employeur de Middleton et féroce concurrent. Le contenu est plutôt centré sur l'actualité (majoritairement en provenance d'autres journaux anglais et américains), sur la vie commerciale et maritime, ainsi que sur la littérature (peu présente pendant les premières années). La ligne éditoriale du journal est définie comme suit : « [.] in the management of The Morning Chronicle we shall, therefore, begin by simply declaring, that, as we glory in our connexion with the British Empire, it will be our undeviating aim and unremitting endeavour, to create and foster a cordial attachment to those time-honoured institutions which have made her so illustrious in the annals of the world ». (May 18, 1847, p. 2)

[Traduction]
« [...] la direction de The Morning Chronicle, par conséquent, débute en déclarant simplement que, comme nous sommes très fiers de notre relation avec l'Empire Britannique, notre but sera sans détour de créer et d'entretenir un attachement aux honorables institutions britanniques, qui se sont grandement illustrées à travers l'histoire mondiale ». Sous Charles Saint-Michel (1849-1860), le journal devient le porte-parole des aspirations de la bourgeoisie commerciale anglaise et les sujets politiques prennent une part plus importante. L'esprit protectionniste, rattaché au torysme, teinte la rédaction. Durant la période de la Confédération, le Morning est utilisé comme tribune pour faire la promotion des idées de John A. Macdonald. Toutefois, l'attrait premier du journal reste avant tout la vie relative au commerce. En 1874, une fusion avec The Quebec Gazette met fin à une concurrence jugée ruineuse. Fondé en juin 1764, c'est l'un des plus vieux journaux d'Amérique du Nord. Une nouvelle entente survient en 1924. Pour mettre fin à une concurrence qui les affaiblit, le journal alors connu sous le nom de Quebec Chronicle and Quebec Gazette et le Quebec Daily Telegraph (fondé en 1875 par James Carrel, il défend les idées populaires et est reconnu comme étant libéral) s'associent et deviennent le Chronicle Telegraph. Les nouvelles prennent une place prépondérante dans les colonnes de la « nouvelle » publication. À partir de 1934, le journal est connu sous le nom The Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph. Il paraît toujours aujourd'hui. Voici les différents titres que le Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph a connus depuis ses débuts : Disponibles en ligne : The Morning Chronicle (Jan. 1847 - Nov. 1850) The Morning Chronicle and Commercial and Shipping, 1850-1888 The Morning Chronicle (Feb. 1888 - May 1888) The Quebec Morning Chronicle, 1888-1898 The Quebec Chronicle, 1898-1924 Non disponible en ligne : The Chronicle Telegraph (1925-1934) The Québec Chronicle-Telegraph (1934 à ce jour)

IllKR.KOIHH kC.O., at Montreal, and JOHN EG rd in ber own quarrel.We nerd riot mention Spam, which habitually without ui-mey, aid deservedly without credit, is an object of pity to every one, but of terror only to herself.Neither can we look lo the American republic for aid in vindicating (be rights of nations and asserting the supremacy of justice.L-t any one read the letter of the

denied\u2014the fact of the hostility of the United States to Ihe cause of Ihe s I ties\u2014he cannot trace a feeling only seeking for excute, and ready lo find any pretext lor believing Kngiaiid in the wrong.Under aucb cirrum-¦ratucs we ajijiear lo have n choice.That which was at first merely a struggle lo prevent the Russians from occujtying Turkey and seizing on C'oiistaiitiiio|.'le has really become nothing less than a snuggle for life and death, which it to decide the question betwi-rtithe advance of modern crvüixslinn and rta letrogrrssion to a stale below that ot the grrater part of Europe in the darkest period of tbe middle agea.It ia vain to consider now whether it would have been wiser to precipitate this conies', or to trust to the chapter of accidents to di»pel the dark iloud that is already spreading over our heads.The lista are prepared.a»d theie is no e»rap- for us except by de-scendirg into them ga lantly ami figh'ing out this battle us we have lought out many others with our own good sword.Nor if we can only prevail on our statesmen and generals lo look danger oolily in the lace, and act as men who hop-for no success except in victory, hare we any reason to tremble for the result.Now* that wr thoroughly ajijircciate and uudcis'and the nature oltbe cnilest in which we are involved, we have no reason to fear a repetition of the miser,e* of the |>a*t year.Tenta, and food, and clothing were wanting, andean be supplied;\u2014 the spirit and courage of our men and officers there is, hapjiily, nothing to desire.An abundant commerce fills our haibora with ahipt and our np-fcaatjle towns wi h prosperity, and the savings of the country double, according to ordinal y calculation, (he extra expenses of the war.Wfiile our enemy is driven to such straits that he is obliged to tax at an enormous amount those very exports already hearing so heavy a burden in the shape of land Pan-port of hundreds ot miles , we find that our prog\u2019esr, though checked, is not J arres ed, and that in the very midst ol war we j ars slowly retired to the oamp, the skir-injured guns and platforms, Ac.Geneial Jones luishera of tho French cavalry being followed by ' visits the trenches every inoruiug snd afternoon, ; the Oosascks at a prudent dlsUuoe, snd ex- | and woes through the whole of the batteries, changing long iliola with them from time to time, examining tbe condition of the works,the progress Before toe troop» moved off tbe ground the 10lb of repairs, and the general efficiency of both Huimts filed past Omar Pacha, who seemed very stuck* snd of tbe detached batteries- There was much gratified and pleased at the appearance of exceedingly heavy firing last night aud this | men and horses.He then inspected his own JOURNAL OF THE SIEGE.THE RENEWED BOMBARDMENT.Foe era Division Camp, April 2i.\u2014Uur firing has now been reduced till further orders to 30 rounds per gun, and the bombardment is nearly suspended, partly from want of fuses, and partly from considerations of a military character which have weight in the councils of our generals.The French still continue to cannonade with energy, and to push on their saps on tbe extreme right and left of our position with vigour and considerable success ; and it has been satisfactorily as certained that the Russians have a very insignificant force at Tchorgouu, though their position is extremely strong, and La immediately connected with that held by the army on the heights be tween the Uclbec and the Tchernaya.We have \u2022 till two batteries which hare not opened fire.There is uo such thing lo be talked of ns taking the field against the army covering Sebastopol Any u|>crutions against that army must be commenced by forcing a series of batteries, of eu trenchments, of fortified camps placed on the ridges of rarities of elevated mounds, and in mountain passes.The town itself is ns open to us externally merer it was any time after the 17th of October, but inside the lines of rubbish and ruins created by our guns, amid high houses and in spacious though tortuous streets, the Russians hare erected earthworks pierced for guns, which arc, no doubt, ready to he put in position at a moment's notice.As to the question of assault, it puzzles better strategists than most of our officers profess to be to say whether it would be advisable or not.Some say we conld \u201c go in\u201d to-morrow if the order was given ; others that it would be madness, and that, though we might get in, wo could not b* able to hold our ground, owing to the fire of the ships and of the northern forts.Certain it is that the men would prefer the storm to one nighTs work in the trenches.In uddition to the advance made by the French, we have pushed forward a sap in face of our right attack, and our parallel is now connected with that of the French, and we hare also formed the rifle pit we took into a portion of our advanced work, and have connected it with the parallel.More guns, 8 inch and 32's, have been sent up from the ships at Balaclava for the new batteries, snd there ia a talk of sending for more, as well ns for shot and shell, to Malta.The weather is fine.There have been, I regret to any, several cases not only of fever but of cholera.The disease appeared on board the Diamond, and hospital gangrene has also iiroken ont in the same vessel.Thera is a terrible stench at the head of the harbour, at tho Turkish burial ground,and at parts of the cavalry camp, in spite of nil the sanitary precautions.In ray last letter I forwarded you a statement of tbe armament of th* left attack.I now sond the armament of tbe right attack, generally called the 21-gun battery, or \u201c Gordon's attack:\u201d No.1 battery, one 24-ponndcr, one CR-ponnder ; No.2 battery, thirteen 10-inch mortar*; No.3 ballery, one 63-pounder, two 24-pounders, two 32-ponnd-ers ; No.4 battery, six 32-pounders, one 68-poond-cr ; No.5 battery, seven 32-poundcrs, one 68-poutider, one 8-inch gun, one 24-pounder; No.6 battery, one 13-incli mortar, two 10-inch; No.7 ballery, two 10-inch mortars ; No.8 battery, three 10-incli mortars ; No.9 battery, eight 8-in.guns; No.10 battery, three 13-inch mortars; No.11 battery, three 13-inch mortars ; No.12 battery, four mortars ; No.13 battery, four large gnns.Some of the guns in the new batteries (Hand 13) have been taken from the more retired ones, and should be struck ofF the atrength of the armament detailed above.TutauAY, 24tb.\u2014The fire in the town last night ia supposed to have been caused by the ship\u2019s broadsides of shells.Tbe French did their best to keep it alive by constant discharges of shell from their Picket-house Battery.Tbe firing was very heavy, almost as rigorous, indeed, as that on the second evening of the bombardment, when twenty-three shells were counted twinkling up among tbe stars as they swept down from the French batteries upon the Russian works.Last night a working partr threw up about fifty yards of trench, with a good cover in advance of all our works.Captain King, R.E., and six or eight men were wounded by the enemy, and two men were killed.The French have made still greater progress, for, notwithstanding all the efforts of the enemy, they established themselves in the crater formed by tho explosion of their mines the other night, and are now in possession of a locus standi within ten yards of th* inner trench of the Flagstaff Fort.They accomplished that object with the loss of several men.The Russians exploded a mine which ran close to the gallery of a French mine, but the remit is not known.Th* French, however, cleared a considerable mass of rnbbish and gabions away by firing a mine under the outer parapet and ditch of the Flagstaff Batttrr.During ths fire upon our batteries we have bad 23 guns more or less damaged.We have masked our 95 cwt.gun for prudential reasons.One 10-inch gun has been smashed to pieces, and the plelform of another has been destroyed, but we have silenced a far greater number of the enemy's guns, and our damagas will be made good in a very snort time.A guard of honour of the Guards waa marched down this morning from the camp at the end of the harbour to Halaklava, with their colours, fifes, and drums, to receive his sxcellency Lord Stratford de Rcd-clilfe, who was expected in the Caradoc, but hts lordship did not arrive.rWinsisnAY, 2fttb.\u2014 Our fire ia very much diminished «Mlay.The Russian fire is also slackened jn«t in proportion as they find onr guns do not play on them.Th# Fr mch betteries have also relaxed a little in their energies.Even were there qo considéra lions connected with the \u2022late of the siege and of our supplies of ammunition involved in thisdiminulion of the weight of our bombardment and cannonade, it must be remembered that, unieM with constant reliefs, Thoiudav, 26th.\u2014A recoDiioissance was made by a strong division of Turkish troops under Ibt command of his Kxcallencj Omar Pacha, a«sistcd by French and English cavalry and artillery, this morning.The particulars of the affair you wiH learn from another band, hut as Here was an Kuglish force present, 1 may bo allowed to gi*« toy own version of what took place uuder my eyes.Late last night, or rather early this morn-ing, orders were seul to the bead-quarters of the heavy cavalry brigade aud to the G troop of the Royal Horse Artillery to be iu readiness to turn out at daybreak, aud the 10th Hussars (Brigadier-geueral Parlby, of the light cavalry, in temporary command of the cavalry division, during General Scarlett\u2019s absence) received similar instructions.The Chasseur* d Afrique and a French rocket troop, for mountain service, accompanied the reconnoissance, and rendered prompt aud excellent service during the day.The heavy cavalrv brigade, consisting of tha remuants of Hie 1st Royals, Major Wardlaw ; Scots Greys, Col.Griffith ; Kuoiskillens, Col.White; 4lh (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards and &th (Princess Charlotte's) Dragoon Guards, turned out about five o'clock and, with the 10th Hussars ia advance, proceeded into the plain of Balaklava, the heights over which were already crowned by tho Turkish infantry to the number of some 5000, or 7000 mon, and before seven o'clock the m hole of iho troops were in motion towards Karunra.The Chasseurs d'Afrique were in advance, with a line of skirmishers s|>eead out in front of the Rule expedition.The French rocket iroop mid C troop, Royal Horse Artillery, and the loth Hussars and heavy cavalry brigade covered the advance of the infantry ; and, as tho morning was fine and clear, the sight presented by the troops as seen advancing across the plain from the heights was very beautiful.So little was known about the reconnoissance that many officers ul head-quarters were not aware of it till they lesrut that Lord Raglan, attended by a few members of his staff, aud followed by only six orderlies, hud started to overtake the troops.General Canrobert was, I believe, on the field, but I did not see him.A great number of amateurs, forming clouds of very irregular cavalry, followed and preceded tbe exjwdiiion.His Excellency the Pacha, who was attended by his staff, by Kchrem Pacha, (Colonel Canuon,) and several Turkish officers of rank, had the control of the force.The Turks marched in dense columns, bristling with steel, and the sun-light (lashing on the polished barrels of their firelocks and on their bayonets, relieved the sombre hue of the mass, for their dark blue uniforms, but little relieved by facings or gay shoulder sirajis and cuffs, look quite black when tbe meu are together.The Chasseurs d\u2019Afrique, clad iu light powder blue jackets, with white cartotich bells, and in bright red pantaloons, mounted on white Arabs, caught the oyu like a bed of flowers scattered over the plaiu.Nor did the rich verdure, indeed, require any such borrowed beauty, for the soil produces an abundance of wild flowering sbrubs and beautiful jdauli.Dahlias, anemones, sweet briar, while thorn, wild parsley, mint, thyme, sage, asjmragus, aud a hundred other different systems of the vegetable kingdom up all over the (\u2022lain, aud as tbe Turkish infantry moved along their feet crushed the sweet flowers, aud the air was filled with delicate odours, which overcame the sweltering atmosphere around the columns.Rectangular patches of long tank, rich grata, waving higli above the more natural green meadow, marked the mounds where the slain of the 23th of October are reposing for ever, and the ¦uortiug horse refuses to cat the uuw holesome \u2022hoots.As the force moved on evidences of the fatal and glorious day became thick and jiaiuful.The skeleton of an English dragoon, said to be one of the Royal», lay sldl extended on the plain with tattered bits of red cloth hanging to tne bones of his arms.All the buttons had been cut of the jacket.The man must have fallen early in the day when the heavy cavalry were close up to Canrobert\u2019s hill and came under fire of the Russian artillery.There was also a Russian skeleton close at hand in ghastly com|>anionshtp.The small bullet-skull, round ns a cannon-ball, had been picked bare all save the scalp, which was still covered with grisly red locks.Further on, amid fragments of shells and round shot, the body of another Russian seemed starting outof the grave, which scarcely covered bis lower extremities The half-decayed skeletons of artillery and cavalry horses covered with rotting trappings, harness, and saddles, lay as they fell in the agonies of death, or bad crumbled away into debris of bone and skin, and Icatherflslraps,\" cloth, and buckles.From the numerous graves, the uncovered bones of the tenants had started u|i through the soil, as if to apjieal against the haste with which they had been butied.With the clash of drums and the shrill strains of the fife, with the cliainjiiag of bits and the ringing of steel, man anil horse swept over the rcmanntr of their fellows in all the pride of life.Not the least interesting part of tho spectacle was furnished by the relics of lh» heavy cavalry brigade passing over the scene of their grand encounter with the Muscovite cavalry.Scots Greys and Knnrikillcns, Royals, 4th Dragonn Guards and 5th Dragoon Guards, all had been there; and the survivors might well feel proud when they thought of that day.These regiments were not larger than troops, and some of them, indeed, were not nearly equal in atrengtli to a troop on war footing, for some of their men imd been sent away for remount horsis, and others of Hie men who were left have no horses to mount.The 10th Hussars were conspicuous for the soldierly and efficient look of the men, and Hie fine con* dilion of their light sinewy and showy horses.As the force descended into the plain they extended their riglr, flank and marched towards Karunra, spreading across the ground in front of Canrobert\u2019s Hili, from No.2 Turkish Redoubt iij* to the sIojk?which lends to the ruined village.A parly of Turkish infentry followed the cavalry ia skirmishing order, and on approaching the village the column immediately in their rear hnlu-d, nnd Bono Johnny proceeded with great activity to cover the high wooded hill which overhangs tho village to the right.This Hier d.d without resistance, as the few Cossacks in Hie villago had abandoned it after firing a few straggling shots at the advanced skirmishers.One fellow had l>een so completely taken by aurjiruc that he left his Unco leaning against the wall.An officer of the 71st espied it just as the Cossack was making a bolt back for it.They both rode their le-dition first came to Balaklava.The simple faith of Hie poor people in the protection of their church had not been violated by ns, hut the Cossacks appeared to have hnd no such scruples, for not a copeck was to be seen, and Hie church was bare and desolate, and strip|*ed of every adornment, even lo Hie woodwork.The rest of the place is a heap of ruins, h.ii ihe Cossacks have burrowed here and there into Hie ¦tores, and have mode steeping plucva nnd stables in tbe walls of the houses.As soon ns the Turks on Hie right had gained the summit of the hill above Kaniara, three of tbe columns advanced and took possession of the ruins, and then drew up on the slope in front of the church.A few men were sent further on towards Haidar, but could see no enemy, and they contented themselves with burning a building which Hie Cossacks had left standing, the smoke from which led some of us to believe that a little skirmish was going on among Hie hills.Meanwhile the great bulk of the force, leaving three columns halted at Kamara, marched on past Canrobert\u2019s Hill, ihe sides of which are covered with Hie wigwams of the Russians\u2014some recent, others those which were partially burned when Linrandi retired last year.They passed by Hie old Turkish redoubts Nos.1 and 2, towards a very steep and lucky conical hill covered with looae atones, near the top of which the Russians threw up a wall of rubbish, shout 2} feet high.A group of Oossackv and some Russian officers had assembled on the top of this hill to examine our strength and watch cur movements.As the Turkish akirtnishers advanced, tbe French rocket troon accompanied them.The Tuiks ascended tho hill with ardour and with great agilitv, firing their pieces as they advanced, to which Hro Cossacks replied by a petty fusilado.Suddenly an arch of thick white smoke rises from the ground with a fierce, hissing, rushing noise, and throws itself like a great snake towards the crest of Hie hill\u2014as it flies onward the smoke disappears and the fiery trail is lost, but in a second a |>uff of smoke hursts out with a slight explosion on the hill top and the Cotsecks and Russians disapjwar with precipitation.In fact, the French had begun their rocket practice with great accuracy and aucceis.Nothing can be better for sucH work as this than these light rocket troops.The apparatus it simple and portable\u2014a few mules, with panniers on eaeh side, carry the whole of the tubes, cases, sticks, fuses, Ac., and the effect of rockets, though uncertain, it very great, especially against irregular and ill disciplined cavalry.The skirmishers now crowned this bill alto, and the générait andofficertof thettaff, and numerout idlers and amatturt, followed them.The Rut-tiaot rode rapidly down tbe billtide, and crotted *he Tchernaya hr the bridge end at one or two fords near Tchorgoun.Omar Pacha, fjord Raglan, snd the French generals then tpenl tome time in turveying tbe country, wb Is the troops battslious, nnd on tbv inarch homeward followed the Turks, moving off in good style to the music of their own hands, to ihe great distress of those who heard them.At Hie Cossacks retired they mamiged to pick up one of our followers, and 1 only wonder they did not get more of them, for they loitered about Hie pluco iu spite of all remonstrance.The man they took was, 1 believe, a commissariat mule driver.A few of the French Chasseurs made a charge to get him from his captors, but the Cossacks were too quick.In the twinkling of an eye one of ihem had hoisted the muleteer to his saddle and lashed him there across Hie bow, and, setting spurs to bis horse, he was lost to sight in a ravine in a few seconds.The Cossacks tired some shots at the troops as they retired but hit no one, aud a Russian officer and his staff came so close to obsorre us that Htty got uuder Hie fire of a battery over the Worontoff road, and received a flight of rockets, but were not hurt.Altogether, the reconnoissance was a most welcome aud delightful interlude in the monotonous \u201c performances\u201d of the siege.Every one felt as if he had beaten the Cossacks and got out of (\u2022risou at last, and I never saw more cheering joyous faces a cover skle than were to at bo seen at Cauroberl\u2019s Hill.Puiday, 27ih.\u2014Last night a very gallant and brilliant little feat of arms, attended, I regret to say, by severe loss, was jierfornu-d by the 77lh Regiment in front of our right attack.In front of Hie Redan, ojqxifiite our right attack, the Russians esiablished some capacious pits,from which they annoyed us considerably, jMiriicular'.y from the two nearest to us on tbe left hand side.Our advanced battery would have been greatly harassed by this fire when it opened, nnd it was resolved to take Hie two pits, to hold that which w as found most tenable, and to destroy the other.Tiiat service WhacUVcled lust night.Aboutcight o'clock the parly of Hie 77th, under Lieul.Colouel Egerton, supported by a wing of the 33rd, uuder Lieut.Colonel Miindy, moved down tbe traverse towards tbe rifle pits.The night was dark and and windy, but the Russian sentries perceived the ajiproacb of our men, and a brisk tira was at once ojiciicd on them by the enemy.to which the Irooj» scarcely replied, tor, firing a terrible volley, they rushed open the enemy with the bayonet, and, after a short but desjierale struggle,drove them out of Hie two pits aud up tbe slope behind them.Once in tbe pits, Hie engineers, officers, snd the HHOjiers and miners, set to work to strengthen the defences, and threw up a gabionade iu front, and with great coolness mid courage proceeded to couucct the trench of the nearest of tho rifle pits with our advanced sap.The enemy opened an exceedingly heavy fire of round, grajie, and shell u|>on them, and the Russian sharps hooters from Hie parajicts of the batteries and from the broken ground behind the abbatis kept up a very severe fusillade: but the working party continued at their work in defiance of the storm of shot which tore over them.In such a contest as this it could not but be expected that our loss would be considerable.Captain Gwen, R.E., so well known in England as an officer of high scientific attainments, and who has devoted himself to tbe more arduous duties of his profession with great real and ability since he came out here, was severely wounded.Lieutenant Baynes, a very active and brave young officer, was also struck down by u bullet, and is now in sotno danger, though bis attendants think his life is safe.Captain Larapriere, of the 77th, a very young officer, who has served throughout Hie ramjinign with his regiment, and who has never left ilfrom the time they lauded in Bulgaria, was killed.A boy in years and in stature, be behaved like a veteran soldier.Lieut.Knight, of the same regiment, also distinguished himself in the attack, and escaped unhurt.He was Hie first to leap into the rifle pits, and hisex-aiiqde encouraged his men at the time they were staggering under the tremendous fire that whs directed against them.Our men remained in |k>s-session of Hie larger of the pits under the trying circumstances mentioned, without any decided attempt being made to turn them out.The general of tho day of Hie right attack telegraphed to head-quarters that oar troops had gained the pits, and he received directions in reply, from Major General Jones, to keep them at all hazards.At two o'clock in the morning a strong column of Russians, certainly double the strength of our men, advanced against the pita, and Hie combat wax renewed.The English troops fought with \u201c the immoveable solidity\u201d for which, in the o|»in-ion of our allies, they arc so celebrated.The enemy charged them with tbe bayonet, but they were met by courage more cool and arms more nervous than their own, and by the bayonet they were thrust back again and again, and at its point they were driven up to their batteries once more.Il was while setting an example of conspicuous bravery to his men that Colonel Egerton fell mortally wounded.Tbe rifle pit is now in our hands, and a smart fire is kept up from it.Its fire is most serviceable, not only against the embrasures of the Redan, but in reducing and disturbing the fire of Hie Russian rifle pits on its flank.Lieutenant-colonel Mundy, 33rd Regiment, is at jircsent in command of Hie party iu Hie pit.The Redan is scarcely able\u2014or, at least, seems disinclined (meaning by the Redan the men inside it) to fire a shot.The second rifle pit we could not hold, but no doubt it will be attacked\u2014and, if we attack it, it will be taken\u2014to-night.Up to Friday night the sailors brigade had lost 13.r> killed and wounded; tho Royal Artillery and Royal Sappers nnd Miners bad bad five killed and and 23 wounded : the infantry had bad about CO casualties.The French are said to lose nearly 100 men every night.Tbe Russians inside the Flagstaff works throw hand grenades into the French sap, and show some ingenuity in converting bottles and vessels of various kind into extemporary shells.Tho French say they can take the bastion at any time they please, but the Russians have repaired their works, and there is a formidable line of batteries inside the broken jiarajiets and shattered gabionades of Hie Flag-ataff.Hattitoav 28th, 10 a.m.,\u2014Tho advanced rifle pit was taken this morning, by the English troo|»s in the right attack, after a feeble resistance from the Russian infantry ; but we were exposed to loss from the fire of the guns in the Redan and the 41st regiment had fifteen men killed and wounded in the fire which the Russians opened upon us yesterday evening.The pit was levelled, filled m with earth, and the men then retired.Uur ba(leries are silent, but the sailors are all in readiness to open firo at a moment's notice; and the artillerymen have the mortars in admirable order, and arc prepared to bombard at any time.The French in extending their lodgment last night had to overcome a very vigorous opposition and suffered considerably from tbe tire of the enemy\u2019s batteries inside the town ; but they persisted, nnd have now fairly extnblished themselves on the flanks of the Flagstaff.Their sap has two heads, and runs to the right and left of the Bastion du Mat, and it will soon be impossible for the enemy lo remain in the latter, unless they succeed in destroying the French sap, or counler-ssp against it.There was a skirmish between tho Cossacks and the Turks in the plains this morning.Tuesd y, April 21 \u2014I have just a moment to arnd a postscript to my last leiter, in order to relieve any anxiety that might exist respecting the late ol the reconnoissnce.The troopg were under arms at daybreak, and marched down into (he plain.Geneial Veney\u2019s brigade of General Bosque.\u2019a division had their breakfas'a at half-past Hirer o\u2019clock a.m., but were not called upon to march.The English cavalry and the artillery, and six battalions of Turkish infantry and two battalions of Frencli infantry advanced about a mde across the low ground outside the lines towards Ksmara and Tchorgoun, halted, and then came back again.At this moment (eleven a.m.) there is a troop of artillery, one battalion o| Turks, and some scattered regiments far away to the right on the heights near Balaklava, alill outside the lines, hut the la»t French battalion has just returned to camp.No one can tell the reason of Hus chante ol operations.Gen.'Canrobert was with Lord Raglan till late last night, ami it was supposed the generals were maturing the plan of'he recnmioisancs.The Caradoc ia ««id to lie insight, wit Loid Stratford on board, hut new* takes* long time travelling from Bil-aklnva to the front.The weather is beautifully fine; and f regret to state that typhoid fevers have become prevalent.On the whole, however, the health of the troops is in a satisfactory slate.Every exertion is being made to bring up guns to the trenches.Wtihip the last few days 8 heavy 8-inch guns and 32 poundera have been conveyed to the front from the wharfs Balaklava is now becoming clean, but rather high in odour.The tank and the washing houses marie by Colonel Harding\u2019s direction* at the ex-tremily of the harbour, have been found ex* tremefy useful.Camp before Sebartnpol, April 27.\u2014If the language add eased to Ins officers by General Canrobert on Thursday is to be taken as th# announcement ol our future strategical policy before Meb-astopol, it is certain that no very decisive blow will be (tmek against the place and the armie* which (lerend it until the allies ahull have been reinforced by aome 70,000 or 80.000 French troops, of whom we are told there are already 23 000 at Constantinople, on their way to Ihe Grimes, at Ihe arant g.irdt of the second great army (bat France had poured from her «bores to take part in this great contrat When thcae new French come where will they be atowml away Î The Chersonese is almost as lull aa it can hold.There is really no room for more men except on stony hills between Ksransi and St.George, which are far removed from active operations.To place men in such a position would be to deprive the allies of all advan'ega from their presence, A French force of the magnitude promised by General Canrobert is smjdjr sufficient to win another Alma, or to immu tali*# hy new victories the nam* of the Kateha or the Briber, ft is one of the misfortunes of our isolated position that we cannot move out to atceilain the exact nature of tbe foriificatio.ia thrown up by the enemy on th* north and #*\u2022'««\u2022»

take weeks ( labour, during whictiihe enemy would redouble their exertions in fortifying the hcighta «round iu, to re-etuliark our tniUirul, and no one I aup-pose, for a moment thinks it would be advisable to abandon ibem.I: would require a very considerable lorce to hold these heights.If we left them tbe enemy would most likely occupy them and our force» are certainly not strong enough to invest them and the north aide at the satire time.It seems that there is nothing fur it but pairence.Every day the difficulties ot Kus»u is (ceding her Crimean army and m supplying the munitions i.f war toSfbastopol will increase.The transport of the Ciimea hss b-eu \u2022\u2022 nwf up\u201d some time \u2022\tgo, ami at present c-u \u2022 a.-'U ra from Poland bave been brought do.» n.and are er g«.,\u2018d in con-veying provisinn* ao ! mtnêritl to the jdace.Although Russian i-oii i« excellent, it cannot last tor ever\u2014guns must wear out, and shot mid shell do not grow.With the sea at our command we find il difficult to keep up the supply of shot and shell to our batteries, and even wnm we do l*n I Ihem, although we posses a railway l.ilf-way to the trenches, our difficulties aeem only to b-gin.What means Russia would adopt to keep her batterie» efficient in winter is, I trust, matter of very prcfitle«s speculation, because there ia no rca-on to think mat the place will be aide to hold nut so long ag.iui»t sap and mine, bernhard-ment and e .nnonade, particularly when General Canrobert \u201c mUrgcs his circle\u201d of op-ra'ion» Every day we diminish our distance from the enemy, who do*-*, it must beaaid.his best to meet us ; but, al.i.ough his out works are advanced, the line of his batteries on the left has been perforce conaideranly relirtiL As our advances are made, the parallels behind are alrenxthened and put into a fit st*te for 'no miing guns in them, which will be close to the enemy\u2019s works and produce a corresponding effect, th nigh with increased loss and damage to ourselves tram the Russian guns.The process thus goes on, in proportion to our strength and the enemy\u2019s weakness, day after day, and hit by hit the ground is won from them ; and.though the town itself may he defrn-lcd by infinitesimal bilterics lo the water\u2019* edge, so long ns we can keep our works clea ot the enemy, aud can maintain our fue against them, there can be no doubt of ullima'e viirres*, jf me fxlcrnal army is unable lo lorce the allies lo raise the >iege .Our batteries are nearly silent ; a few guns and mortars reply loan occasional shot fiom the Redan and Round Tower at long interval*, and there seems to be a ship behind the Round Tower, which harasses our right attack tty an odd shell now and then.Wh»t a »ontia»t to the French on our left, and even on our right ! They have never ceased to fire, and the Russians return shot lor shot from the mass of rums and rubbish in which their batteries nre enveloped.J he day before yesterday the enemy openod a new battery, which i» up among the bouses of Ho* town, on a ridge near the governor\u2019* house, anil directed a very heavy fire on the French, with a diversion now and then on the left of our attack.In the light attack yesterday we had two gunners killed, and the |i!atforrns of I wo guns broken ; but, although these bat'eric* h ive nil been aever-ely handled, they have reduced the fire of the Mamelon and ot the Round Tower with great success Srilt we must give the French every praise lor the perseverance of their attack, deprived as they have been of their fair shnreof support from our fire for some data back.They have certainly atoned for their failure onfthe .7th of October, wkicb was caused by the melancholy accidents to their magazines.There are mysterious whispers that we shall \u2022* open fire again in a few days\u201d with an allowance of 100 rounds a gun per diem.A supply of aome useful 56 and s-few 6S-pounder guns has been brought up from Balaklava to the batteries, and conaideranle additions have been made to our at marnent since I last wrote.A moderate aupyly of 13-inch bomb fuse* has been raked togeiher, and, if promises are to be trusted, we really shall effect great things on this the third '* commencement\u201d of the siege.His Excellency Lord Stratfoid de Rcdcliffe\u2019s arrival will not, I should think, produce any very marked sen*ation in .Vbastopol, nor ia it at all likely to effect any alteration in the conduct or pros|>ecta of the siege.If Lord John Russell at Vienna could only w hisper the word *\u2022 Peace\u201d to Lord SttaHord at St.George there ore very lew people out here who would feel anything but intense gratification at the announcement, if one can judge by the conversation of nineteen out of every twenty ol hi* acquaintance*.However, it appears that his Lordship cannot atay lorn; with us, lor he will leave, it ia said, on baturday lor Lonstanlinople in th*: Caradoc, nnd will take Lady Stratford and the Mon.Mi«ar« Canning back witn him.Hit Excellency has sen Sebastopol, h*s attended an inspection of the French army of (he left, and has held counsel with Lord Raglan, and now he returna to the place whence he came, if not a *'sadder or wiser man.\u201d at less!
