ABSTRACT
A letter from the French camp before Sebastopol, says:—“Recently, in a house to which some Cossacks had set fire, we found in a room, and on the point of being suffocated by the smoke, a child of about 18 months’ old, elegantly dressed, and having a gold cross suspended from its neck. The poor infant smiled upon our Grenadiers, who removed it, and have adopted it until the family to whom it belongs shall be discovered. It is curious to see the Grenadiers fondling the baby, and treating it with as much tenderness as it could receive from its mother .”
