man heights , and resting on the entrenchments and forts to the north of Sebastopol . If an attack is to be made , as we hear it is , upon this position , the choice would lie between a movement on the right upon . Albat , similar to that begun by the Turks and Sardinians on the 17 tli of June , wad a direct advance up the defile down which the army marched in September , 1854 . In the former case the army would act in a difficult countrysteer * mountains intersected by deep
defilesbut not more difficult than the Pyrenees or the Affghan passes ; in the latter there is too much reason to fear that formidable earthen batteries , as at the Alma , would have to be carried , unless , as at the Alma , some weak unguarded point can be discerned , and forced . But it may be that the operations which we are warned to expect relate more directly to the siege ; at the same time , it is impossible not to perceive that some important preparations are afoot for action external to the
trenches . If the Mackenzie heights cannot be carr ^ d , the Allies can land an army either at the Katcha , or Alusbta , or KafFa , and break upon the Busssian line from some unexpected quarter . Tike Siege . - —With respect to the actual operations performed in front during the six weeks that have elapsed since the 18 th June , we are necessarily but poorly informed . But enough light lias been thrown from various quarters to show that the troops have been extremely active with the pick and spade , the gabion and sand-bag , aud have advanced so far as to Be below the level of the
guns of the Malakhoff . There is-also some reason to believe that the , batteries on Mount Sapoune will be , able to annoy the ships , if not to destroy them . It is a mistake to suppose that because we have heard little news , little work has been done . The silent activity in the front has been
appreciated by the enemy ,, whose frequent sorties ought to prove to us that the Allies were becoming unpleasantly close neighbours to the garrison . At the same time we have no doubt the enemy has accumulated defence on defence in the rear of the Malakhoff , and that the Allies will have quite enough to do to hold that work when it falls into their hands
The fortification of Kamiesco with earthworks greatly strengthens the position of the Allies , forms a place of arms where large numbers may assemble for any secret expedition , and secures a point of debarkation in case of unlooked-for disaster . , » The position occupied by . the four armies
is now one of great extent . The French cavalry fill the . valley of Baidar j the Turks cover Balaklavft ; the . Sardinians and French hold the line of -the , Tcheraaya ; and the plateau before Sebastopol is covered vi th an encampment , stretching from the great harbour to the Monastery of . St . George , and from the Col di Balaklava to Kainiescb .

to be strengthened—a convincing proof of its importance to the enemy . It is to be regretted that the operations in that direction have not been followed up ; but fcom Bussian reports it appears that more has been done on the shores of the Sea of Azof than has yet been made public by our Admiralty , Asia . —The fate of Kara is still uncertain . According to the latest reports from Trebizond , General Mouuavieff has abandoned the investment of the place , and Kars and Erzeroum are once more in communication .
This alleged step on the part of the Russian General has been brought about , we are toljd , by an advance of ScHAMri upon Tiflis . . "W& cannot say that we entirely believe the rumour . But no doubt an advance of ¦ . tlie Circassians would sufficiently account for the retirement of the enemy ; and the position of Mouravieff , as described by himself , up to the 8 th of July , leads to the belief that lie has not found the conquest of Turkish Armenia so easy as some among us would have the public believe . . . . j
It appears that in addition to the mam body which advanced directly upon Kars > Ji detachment proceeded from Erivan , along the southern slopes of Mount Ararat , and that it has advanced beyond Toprak-Kaleh , on that road to Erzeroum . The plans of the enemy seein , therefore , to have included the seizure of Kars , and the march of the main body and the Erivan detachment in a combined movement upon Erzeroum . General Moubavibff , as we know , found Kars too well prepared for
a coup de main , and he passed it by a flank march , establishing his camp at Mougaradjik Here the rain put a stop to his movements for several days ; but on the 26 th the weather cleared , and on the following day he made a careful reconnoissauce of the town . Moving his camp from Mougaradjik to Kany-Kieni , he left there a part of his troops to watch Kars . ; and proceeded with the rest on a
promenade into the Soghaulu Mountains . The object of this movement seems to have been to obtain information , destroy all the provisions he could find , and completely emit off the garrison of Kars from Erzeroiun .: In threa days he reached the western incline of tlie Soghanlu Dagh , occupyiug the posa of BardouB , and seizing hard By a large convoy destined for Kars . It js remarkable that
although he pressed into his service all the vehicles , 4 » e could find to carry off all the pr ? - vieions , yet that he had not enough , and he was compelled to destroy a considerable quantity . Lingering throe days on' / the Soghanlu , he withdrew his troops on the 4 t » h July , and returned to his camp at Kany-Kieni on the 6 th July . During the time be remained on the mountains , he sent patrols to Kara Ourghan nnd Zeviuc , two stations on the r . oad to Erzeroum , and found that they were not occupied by the Turks . It has
been remarked that he did not penetrate us far as Hassan-3 £ aleh , the jcoy of the valley of Erzeroum , and from this it has been inferred either that General Mouraviefb had no intention of marching on Ereeroum , or that difficulties arose in his path of which he has not informed us . It . is probable , indeed , that notwithstanding thei progress of , the Erivan detachment , the Ruswian general did not feel that he should ,, jleavo eithor flank of hia communications secure frcuu attack ; thrtt , ho learned too much of the atrato of defence in
which General Wh . j . iams , left Ei' / oroviwo . to hazard a coup 4 c main ; aud that on reflection ) if lie over had the intention of leaving Kars behind . him , he considered such .
