The wheat and rye crops in those townships have sustained considerable injury, some fields' be ing nearly ruined..

The intelligence comprises three distinct suecesses of the allies. - First ; Thesuccesses of the-French in sanguinary conflicts lasting the whole of &be nights of the f.)....0t.1 aid '23d of May, in which they took and still retain an important position of defence in . the place d'armie before Sebastopol. Not less than 8,000 men were killed and wounded, mostly by the bait met. Secondly. The allies made a rapid advance and seized and - retained the Russian lines ou the Tchernaya without incurring, mush loss— the Russians retreatin,g to the hills. Gen. Ftelissier says the Russian loss was enormous avid that of the French troops mn siderable, though much less than that of the ,ene:ay. The French at the latest aeeounts retained the position thus won.

The' - total tosses. on both 'sides in killed and wounded are set down,al - 8,000 men ! Prince Cortschakoff's account of affair is this :—Yesterday evening seventeen bat talions of the enemy with reserves attacked the trench of the eonnterapproach commenced the day before, in front of bastions five and six. The eornhat was san&ninary and lasting during the whole night.—Our twelve-battal ions lost nearly :2,500 inert in driving back the enetny. Gen.

The enemy were not in force and offered little resistance, retreating rapidly into the hills.— We have definitely established ourselves and in the works carried on the 22d and 23d. An armistice was agreed upon for burying the dead, and this enabled us to estimate the loss of the - enemy. It must be from five to six thousand men ;n killed and wounded. May 26th.—The enemy have not yet made a demonstration either in front or against the lines on the Teherriaya. The works of the fortification of Kamtesch are progressing. The sanitary condition.of the army is good. May 27th.—The expedition against Fertsch on the strait of Yeuikall, commanding the en trance of the sea of Azoff, has beon attended with complete - .success. The 'enemy fled at the approach of the allies, and blew up their powder magazines. It was rumored at. Paris that Genera) Pelis sier had attacked and routed General Lipran. di's' force. General Canrobert is reported to be wounded, and another General killed, but this is regarded as doubtful. Lord Raglan telegraphs as follows : "May 27th.—We are masters of the sea of Azoff, without loss. The troops landed at Bertsch on her majesty's birthday, the 24th. The enemy fled after blowing up the fortifications on both sides of the straits and destroying their steamers. Some vessels and. fifty guns have.fidlen into the hands of the allies." Lord Riglan further telegraphs that on the 25th General Sir Geortre Brown-reached Reui kale, having on the day previous destroyed the Russian foundery near Bertsch, where shot and shell and Minnie balls were inanu; factored by the Russians. Another despatch from Lord Raglan, dated May 30th, says: `Letters from Sir George Brown and Admiral Lyons on the 29th an nounce the destruction by the enemy of four Russian war steamers and large depots of corn." The allied troops succeeded in blowing up a magazine at Arnim] and in destroying about 100 merchant vessels—only one Russian steamship remained in the sea of Azoff. Five vessels laden with corn ran into !Cowell, not knowing that the place had been taken. and were captured by the allies. The number of (Tuna found by the allies exceeds 100. The French accounts say that the Russians burned 30 transports as well as their four steamships, and destroyed 360.000 sacks of corn, 160.000 sacks of oats and 100,000 sacks of flour.--Fourteen of the allied steamers en tered the sea of Azotr.
