TA VAL ACTIO N. SEBAST FOL. LIST OF KILLED AND WOUNDED. (From the London Gazette Extraordinary of Sunday, November sth.) ADMIRALTY, Nov. 5, 1854. The following despatches from Vice-Admiral Dundas have this day been received at the Ad miralty : Britannia, off the Katcha, Oct. 13, 1854. Sir,-1. I beg you aN ill acquaint the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty that the Allied Armies are employed in erecting batteries to the south of Sebastopol, but I hear are much retarded by the rocky nature of the ground ; the Russian fire of shot and shell by day and night has produced little or no effect. The naval and marine battalions are healthy, and there is less sickness in the army. 2. Sir Edmund Lyons, in the Agamemnon, with the Diamond, and a squadron of steamers, is at Bala,klava, assisting the troops. A French squad ron, under Vice-Admiral Bruat, is anchored be tween the lighthouse and the harbour, in commu nication with the left of the French army. A di vision of steam-vessels watches the mouth of the port constantly, where four or five Russian steam vessels always have their steam up, and the large sailing vessels are with Admiral Hamelin and my self anchored off the Katcha River, the weather hitherto having permitted our remaining in these positions. 3. The Sidon and Inflexible, with Cacique and Caton, are still in Odessa Bay, to prevent any com munication by sea with the Crimea, and I have sent a transport to them with coals and fresh provisions, which I have drawn from Sinope. 4: On the 11th, au Austrian vessel, laden with hay for the commissariat, got within range of the batteries, and was deserted by her crew at the second shot ; she ran on shore about 1,500 yards south of the harbour mouth, and was got off that evening and towed to Balaklava. I enclose the report of Captain Jones, of the Sampson, who, with Captain Stewart, of the Firebrand, and Mr. Boxer, second master in charge of the Beagle, as sisted by the French launches, of the inshore squadron, got the Austrian to sea from under the baleries in a very successful and creditable man ner. The Firebrand has four shots in her hull, but fortunately no casualties. 5. I learnt from Captain King, of the Leander, of the approach to Eupatoria of a large Russian force near the town. I have sent the Firebrand and Vesuvius to assist in the defence, should it be attacked, and shall send two other vessels to-day. 6. The French and Turkish troops sent for from Varna and Constantinople by the Simoom, Vulcan, Cyclops, and our transports aro hourly expected ; they have been kept back and detained by the late strong north-east gales.—l have, &c., (Signed) J. W. D. DUNDAS, Vice-Admiral. To the Secretary of the Admiralty. &e., &c., &c. No. 527. Britannia, off the Katclia, Oct. 18, 1854. Sir,-1. I beg you will acquaint the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty, that the siege batteries of the Allied Armies opened fire upon the Russian works south of Sebastopol, about half-past six o'clock yesterday morning, with great effect, and small loss. 2. In consequence of the most urgent request of Lord Raglan and Gen. Canrobert, it was agreed by the Admiral of the Allied Fleets, that the whole of the ships should assist the land attack by engag ing the sea batteries north and south of the har-. hour on a line across the port, as shown in the ac companying plan, but various circumstances ren dered a change in the position of the ships necessary and unavoidable. 3. The Agamemnon, Sanspareil t eeetmpson, Tri bune, Terrible, Sphinx, and Lynx, and Albion, London and Arothusa, towed by the Firebrand, Niger, and Triton, engaged Fort Constantine and the batteries to the northward ; while the Queen, Britannia, Trafalgar, Vengeance, Rodney, Belle rophon, with Vesuvius, Furious, Retribution, High flyer, Spitfire, Spiteful, and Cyclops, lashed on the port side of the several ships, gradually took up their positions, as nearly as possible as marked on the plan. 4. The action lasted from about half-past one to half-past six p.m., when, being quite dark, the ships hauled off. 5. The loss sustained by the Russians, and the damage done to Fort Constantino and batteries, cannot, of course, as yet be correctly ascertained. 6. An action of this duration against such formi dable and well-armed works, could not bo main tained without serious injury, and I have to regret the loss of 44 killed and 26G wounded, as detailed in the accompanying lists. The ships, masts, yards, and rigging, are more or less damaged, principally by shells and hot shot. The Albion has suffered much in hull and masts, the Rodney in her masts, she having tailed on tho reef, from which she was got off by the great exertions of Commander Kynaston, of the Spiteful, whose crew and vessel were necessarily exposed in performing this service ; but with the exception of the Albion and Arethusa, which ships I send to Constantinople to be repaired, I hope to be able to make my squadron serviceable in 24 hours. Foreseeing, from the nature of the attack, that we should be likely to lose spars, I left the spare topmasts and yards onboard H.M.S. Vulcan at this anchorage, where I had placed her with all the sick and prisoners. 7. I have now the pleasure of recording My very great satisfaction with the ability and zeal displayed by Rear-Admirals Sir Edmund Lyons and the Hon. Montagu Stopford, and all the captains under my command, as well as my sincere thanks to them, and to the officers, seamen, and marines employed, for their unremitting exertions and the rapidity of their fire, in the absence of a large number of the crews of each ship, who were landed to assist in working the siege batteries, &c., on shore, and to this circumstance I attribute the small loss of killed and wounded. 8. The gallant and skilful conduct of our French Allies in this action was witnessed by me with ad_ miration, and I hear with regret that they have also suffered considerable loss. 9. I beg to express my gratitude at the manner in which Ahmed Pasha, the Turkish admiral, did his duty.—l have, &e., (Signed) J. W. D. DUNDAS, Vice-Admiral. The . Secretary of the Admiralty, d, c.

DAVID DEAS, Deputy Medical Inspector of Fleets, THE FRENCH ACCOUNT. The Momiteur of Saturclay publish©s the follow. ing letter from Constantinople, dated the 21st ult. :- "The establishment of the siege batteries, which was much retarded by the nature of the ground, and annoyed during the 14th and 16th by the enemy's fire, was not completed until the evening of the 16th, except one bat tory of eight 50 pounders, intended to take the Quaran tine Battery in the rear. The number of-heavy guns in position is about 250. ,The fire commenced at half-past 6 in the morning of the 17th, and was well kept up on . _ both sides until 10 o'clock. Oa the morning'of the same day the fleets, anchored part at Katcha and others off the Bay of Kamiech, began to advance on the batteries at the entrance of Sebastopol, the steam-frigates having the sailing vessels in tow. The English squadron were to fire on the north side and the French on the. south , and the Quarantine batteries. The French squadron advanced under the fire of all the batteries, and w as in position at 1 o'clock, four three-deckers and three steam-vessels forming the first line. The other vessels forming the second line arrived in succession as well as two Ottoman ships of the line. About half-past 2 the English squadron took up its position to the north. The fire opened at 1 o'clock, and Was warmly kept up on both' sides until 3 o'clock, when that •f the Russian batteries gradually fell off. They afterwards only fired occasional shots untilG o'clock, at the moment when the squadrons, which for five hours had kept up a warm and uninterrupt e d f i re, resumed their former an chorage. The amok ° d uring the combat and the night which interrupted it prevented an exact judgment being formed of the damage caused to the enemy. The French siege batteries discontinued their fire about - 110On on the same day, in consequence of the explosion of a powder magazine which damaged the batteries near it. The English batteries continued theit fire, and appeared to .profit by th e di vers i on made b y r uining the works whi c h were ,oppesed to them. On the morning . of the 18 th the 'fire of all the siege", bat - , tortes recommenc e d, and was 'continued during the whole day, and caused several fires ia. the town ; ab 1 o'clock a Russian p owder magazine blew up. G en e ra l Canrobert sent wo r d on the 18th to Admira l Hamelin that the bombardment of the previous day appeared to have very much injured the Quarantine Battery, which much impeded the Russian operations. The large forts at the entrance, without being entirely demolished, are much damaged." A letter from Thetapia, of the 20th ult., in the Aro4titeur, says "You will hear from all sides that our sailors fought valiantly ; every one did his duty, and in the most noble manner. The Charlemagne arrived at her station the first, and for half an hour supported Ellen° the fire of .all the -Rdasian forts, returning their fire with a vigour which was the admiration, of both squadrons. A. shell burst on the stern of the Vile de Paris, and the poop was knocked to pieces. , By a kind of miracle ; Admiral Hamelin was not injured, but of his. four.Aides-de- Camp, one, AI. Somnieiller, was and the others were wounded, as well as several other persons who were standing near. M. Bouet-Willaumez, the chief of the staff, escaped as fortunately as the Admiral." The Government received to-day the following telegraph, addressed to Lord Westmoreland by the British Consul-General at Varna ; " VARNA, Oar. 28. " On the 25th an imposing force suddenly attacked three Turkish batteries near Balaklava, and carried them by storm. The Turks retreated, after spiking some of their guns. The Russian artillery and infantry continuing to advance, our light brigade of cavalry charged them, but sustained a considerable loss. The regiment of Scots Greys, however, coming to their as sistance' with the sth Dragoons, the enemy was com pletely routed, and withdrew behind the batteries taken from the Turks. The French took part in the affair with admirable bravery. In the evening of the 26th the Russians sallied out of Sebastopol, and attacked the division of General Do Lacy Evans ; but in less than half an hour they were repulsed, with a loss :of 1,000 men left on the field. The loss of the English in this sad action consists of one officer killed , and a few men wounded. The fire from the city had considerably. slackened. The allies were fully confident of the proxi mate fall of Sebastopol." The Courr•ier de Marseilles quotes the following, under date Constantinople, the 20th ult. The French steamer Ajaccio arrived this morning from the Crimea with the mails from the armies and fl ee ts. The letters are of the 13th. The bombardment of Sebastopol commenced on the 17th, at 6 o'clock a.m., by land, and at 1Q o'clock the combined fleet§ took part in . the action, by attacking the outer batteries of the Marine, and particularly that of. the Quarantine. Two small batteries clo;:e to thc latter'llai ceased 'firing, and were partly demolished at noon . , but the principal bat tery continued to fire. The guns used by the Russians carried tl a great distance, and several of the ships were more or Jess damaged. Among those which suffered most were, on the English site, the Sanspareil, which had 12 killed and GO wounded ; Albion, nearly the same number of killed and wounded ; Agamemnon, 4 killed and 22 wounded ; Queen, • 1 killed and 11 wounded, &c. On;the side of the Freneb,:the Ville de Paris, 10 killed and 30 wounded ; Vain:ly, 4 killed and 30 wounded; Montebello, ten killed and 30 wounded. The four aides-de-camp of Admiral "lamella were put hors de combat. One of them was cut in two by a cannon hall ; another, M. Z 616, had his two legs shattered ; the other two were not dangerously wounded. At nightfall thefleets suspended theirfiring, and returned to their anchorage. The result obtained on the ]and side is not exactly known. The Russians defend them- selves with an obstinacy bordering on despair. Bat, notwithstanding the 3,000 guns mounted on the ram• parts, the fall of the place is considered certain in the Allied camp. The resistance, however, will be longer and more sanguinary than was at first supposed. The occupation of Eupatoria by the Russians, which caused so much joy to the Greeks at Consthntinople, was of short duration. The village was guarded by a few sea men and, marines, who, on the approach of a consider. able body of Cossacks, retired on board their ships. The next day; however, they landed with reinforcements and drove the Russians out of the place." _ _ The Aloniteur of yesterday contains the following articles .: "The Marshal Minister of War has received from General Canrobert, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the East, the following report, dated from the head-quarters before Sebastopol, the 18th of October, and forming a continuation of that of the 13th, inserted in the Moniteur of the 28th of October : "'Monsieur le Marechil,—Yesterday, at sunrise we opened our fire in concert with the English army. Matters were proceeding favourably, 'when the explosion of the powder magazine of a battery, which unfortunately was of a serious character, threw our attack into disorder. This explosion produced greater effect from the fact that our bat- teries were accumulated round the point where it took place. The enemy profited by it to increase his fire, and, in accord with the General command ing the Artillery, I was of opinion that it was ne cessary for us to suspend ours in order to make repairs, and to complete towards our right, by fresh batteries connected with those of the English army, the system of our attack. This delay is no doubt to be regretted, but we must resign ourselves to it, and I am taking every necessary step to render it as short as possible. " ' Tho place kept up the fire better than was expected. The circle is of such a formidable deve lopment in a right line, and comprises guns of such largo calibre, that it can prolong the struggle. On the 17th our troops took possession of the height before the point of attack called the Bastion of the Mat, and occupied it. This evening we shall raise upon it a masked battery of 12 pieces, and, if it be possible, also a second battery at the extreme right above the ravine. " ' All the means of attack are concentrated upon this bastion, and will enable us, I hope, soon to take possession of it, with the assistance of the English batteries, which are directed against its eft face. " Yesterday, about 10 o'clock in the morning, the English fleet attacked the external batteries of the place, but I have not yet received any parti- oulars to enable me to give you au]accouut of the result of this attack. " ' The English batteries aro in the best possible condition. Eight new mortars have, been placed, in them, calculated - to produce great effect. Yester- day there was, in the battery which surrounds the tower situated to the left of the place, a tremendous explosion, which must have done much injury to the enemy. Since then this battery has fired very little, and this morning there are only two or three guns which can fire. " ' I have no precise information about the Rus sian army. There is nothing to indicate that it has changed the position it occupied, where it awaits reinforcements. " I have received almost the whole of the rein forcement of artillery which I expected from Galli poli and Varna. General Levaillant has just arrived with his staff, which increases to five divisions the effective force of infantry which I have under my orders. Their state of health is satisfactory, and their discipline excellent, and we are all full of confidence.' " The French Government• has received from Vice -Admiral Hamelin the following despatch : " ' Ville de Paris, before Katcha, Oct. 18. "'Monsieur le Ministre,—lu my letter of the 13th of October I announced to your Excellency that I had embarked with all my staff on board the frigate Mogador, in order to anchor as near as possible to. the French head-quarters, and arrange with the General-in-Chief a general attack by the land and sea forces against Sebastopol on the day when the fire of the siege batteriesshould conimence. Ori the 14th I had an interview with General Can robert, whose views were in conformity with mine. On the 15th a meeting of the Admirals of the allied squadrons took place on board the frigate Mogador, and the arrangements for the general attack were made with common accord, and were then sub mitted to the Generals of the land forces, who heartily agreed to them. " This general attack was fixed for the 17th, the day of the opening of the fire of the siege bat- tones. With respect to the squadrons, they were to effect What follows :—The French squadron un dertook to place itself towards the rocks to the south, and at about 7 cables' length to operate against the 350 guns of the Quarantine Battery, the two batteries of Fort Alexander, and the bat tery of the Artillery. " The English squadron had to attack towards the rocks to the north, at about the same distance, the 130 guns of the Constantine Battery, the Tele graph Battery, and the Maximilian TOwer to the north. "'lf your Excellency would imagine a line traced along the entry - to Sebastopol from the east to the west;' that , line would separate into two parts the locality of the attack which devolved upon each squadron. " The Turkish Admiral with two vessels, all that he retained at the-time, was to cast anchor to the north 6f the two Frerich lines—that is to say, in an intermediate position 'betwedn"the 'EngliSh and French `vessel's. On'the Morning of the 17th the attack of the siege batteries 'commenced ;' but, as the weather was calm, it was ,necessary to attach the ships of the lino to the steam frigates before developing against Sebastopol the line of the 26 ships of the allied squadrons. Nevertheless, in spite of this difficulty, and the separation which had taken place between' the ships of the allied squacd= xons, a part of which had anchored, at Kamisch and. part before the Katcha, I have the satisfaction to announce to your Efeellency that the fillip's of our first line' advanced about half-pest 12 in. the day under the fire of . the 'batteries of - Sebattopol; which they stood. against at - first during more than half-an-hour,. without.. replying. A few minutes afterwards :they. replied vigeronsly to the fire, which did not.fail to incommode them, from their small 'number. Afterwards the other French, and English vessels successively arrived, and the attack becanie general.. ' '" Towards- half-past 2; O'clock the fire of the Russian batterithi Slackened ; it was stopped at the Quarantine Battery.' This was the exact object desired by the French squadron; but our firing was redoubled and continued without interruption till night. " ' At th,e timei an' writing to your Excellency I am not aware of What was the success of our siege batteries, whose fire had commenced before ours, and which attacked the Russian fortifications on the land side. " ' If the Russians had not closed the entrance to Sebastopol by sinking two ships of the line and two frigates, I do not doubt that the vesschi of the squadrons, after the first fire, would have been able successfully to enter the port and place them selves in communication with the army. Perhaps they would not have lost many more mon in doing this than we have now to regret ; but the extreme measu re which the enemy adopted of sacrificing a portion of his ships forced us to confine ourselves to attacking for five hours tho sea batteries of Sebastopol, with the object of silencing them more or less, of occupying a great many men of the gar rison at the guns, and of giving thus to our army material as well as moral assistance. " To -day, the 18th, I have only time to give a hasty sketch to your Excellency of this affair, which,. in my opinion, does great honour to the French navy. - " I subjoin to this sketch a list of the men killed and wounded on board of each ship. With out delay I shall send you a detaileclreport upon all the phases of the attack, and in reference to the part, more or less active, which each ship took in it. both ships and batteries, and frequently prevented either side from seeing anything. From about 2 till dark (nearly 6) the cannonade raged Mosl furio aslY. Towards 4 o'clock Fort Constantine, as well as some of the small er b a tt er i es, slackened - some what in their fire ; but towards dusk, as some of the ships began to haul out, the Rus sians returned to their guns, and the fire seemed: as fierce as ever. There was one ex , plosion just behind Fort Constantine,' Which ap peared to do much damage. At. dark all the ships returned to their anchorage. The change was pagical from a hot sun, mist, Snioleo, explosions, _ Shot, shell, rockets, and the roar of 10,000 gurns-- to a still, cool, brilliant stalgight Sity,loOking doh` r upon a glassy sea, reflecting in long': tiremul - ona.. lines the lights at the mastheads of the ships rd-T: turning amid profound silence. " At the commencement of the affair the en thusiasm was "extreme. During the combat the tenacity of every one was not less so. Before com mencing the [fire I signalled to the squadron 'France has her eyes upon you,' a signal which was received with cries of Give l'Empercui• ti • . I am, with d ee p respec t , M ons i eur l e Mints tre, your Excellency's very obedient servant, the Vice-Admiral Commander-in-eliief of the squadron of the Mediterranean, " ' HAMELIN.' " THE LAND ATTACK. CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, OCT. 17, 10 P.M. On the night of the 16th it was determined that our fire should be opened on the Russian lines the following morning, as it was evid en t th e enemy was intrenching hims e lf with much activity, and greatly strengthening his position. In spite of the efforts of our engineers, our works were not quite com pleted, and most of the mortars could not be mounted in the batteries. Firing commenced, however, from the French and English batteries by signal at 6.30 a.m. on the 17th, but for 30 minutes previous the Russians fired furiously on all the batteries. The cannonade on both sides was most violent for nearly two hours. Our left attack consisted of four batteries and 36 guns ; our right attack, of 20 guns, in battery. There were also two Lancaster batteries and a 4-gun battery of 68-pounders on our right. The French had about 46 guns. In all we were supposed to have 117 guns to subdue about 130 guns of the Russians. At 8 o'clock it was apparent that the French batteries in their extreme right attack, overpowered by the fire and enfiladed by the guns of the Rus sians, were very much weakened ; their fire slack ened minute after minute. At 8 30 the fire slackened on both sides for a few minutes, but recommenced with immense energy, What damage has been done to the forts we Klon't yet know. Three of our ships have been roughly, I handled, and the killed 4nd wounded amount to 46 English killed and upwards of 250 womidgd.,, Lieutenant Chase, of the Albion, has fallen, and.. Lieutenant Lloyd, commanding . the Vesuvius, and Mr. Foster, midshipman on board the Sanspareil, are seriously wounded. No captains hats been hit. Tho blue jacXets showed all their ancient valour. Eight o r niso" men were swept away at a- • forecastle gun on board the Sanspareil by the ex plosion of a shell. The two remaining men coolly went on.loading, with their sponge and rammer, as though nothing had happened. ANOTHER ACOQUXT. FROM THE FLA ET OFF THE KATCHA. RIVER.. • OCTOBER 18, 8 A.M.
