DESPATCH FROM LORD RAGLAN.

(snort • sorrunniwr TO THU LONDON cassia)
Before Sebastopol, April 17.
My Lord,—The fire of both the French ea English
arouse has .been ceotinsed upon Sebastopol since I
addressed your lordship cm the 14th instant, and
t aspenor to that of the enemy it has not pro-
dared that present effect which might have been
anticipated frodits coastaney, power, and accuracy.
sans ast ih. ReArians have here tumult! none

tery was so great, that the unremitting exertions oir
Captains Henry and %loot, and the gallantry and
determination of the artillerymen under their order%
alone enabled them to keep up the fire and to main.
min themselves in it.
In another battery yesterday a shell burst close to
the magazine, which in consequence exploded, kilt.
log, I am much concerned to say, one man, wounding
two most severely, and seven in a less degree.
Both the batteries I have mentioned have beets
repaired and restored to their original condition.
I enclose the list of casualties that have arisen be.
tween the 13th and 15th inst. I have to lament the
loss of two young and promising alms who had
only lately joined the army, Lieutenant Preston, of
the 88th Regiment, and Lieutenant Mitchell, of thls
Artillery; and I regret to add that two others bays
been severely wounded, Captain Green, of the East
India Company's service, who has been employed
throughout the siege as an assistant engineer, wits
great credit to himself and every advantage to this
service, and Captain Donovan, of the 33rd, who had
most zealously served from the commencement of the
campaign.
!The French blew up several small mines in front
of the Bastion du Mit after sanest on Sunday even•
lag, with a view to establish a parallel on the spot.
Thu operation greatly alarmed the enemy, who at
once commenced a heavy fire of cannon and moo.
ketry in every direction from that part of the town,
which they kept up for a considerable time. It coca
stoned so harm on our left attack, upon which a part
of it was directed, and I hope did little injury to met

Several hundreds of the Russian oavalry and a
small body of Cossacks appeared on the low range of
heights in front of Balaklava this morning, and re-
mained about an hour, when they retired, the greater
portion by the bridge of Tracts.. The object of this
movement was probably a reconnaissance.
I have, &0., RAGLAN.
The Lord Panmure, &c., &c.

PRINCE GORICHAKOFFI3 REPORT.

(From& Supplement to the /maid& Room)
In completion of his telegraphic despatch, published •
on the 20th inst., relative to the operations before
!Sebastopol, from the 11th to the 15th of April, a re-
port from Prince Oortchakoff, of this latter date,
announces that the enemy continue to cannonade the
fortrees during the day and to bombard it during the
night with the greatest vivacity. Notwithstanding
the rapid fire and the concentration of the fire of
their batteries, armed with about 360 guns, of which
80 are mortars, the lama our garrison cannot be con-
sidered disproportionately great ; we have net bad •
many gun. demounted, owing to our fortificetions
being intersected by a sufficient number of traverses,
and to our batteries being sheltered by blindages.
During the day the fire of our artillery is also in-
cessant; thanks to the coolness and skill with which
it is served, many of the enemy's guns have been
dismounted, and the embrasures of some of the
batteries knocked in. All our damage ie repaired
during the night with the greatest activity. The
dismounted guns are replaced by new onee, and the
losses of the garrison made good by reinforcements
which arrive, se that on the 3rd (16th) April,
Sebastopol was as strong as before the bombard-
went.

To the above general statement of the heroic deeds
of the defenders of Sebastopol, Aide-de-Camp General
Prinoe Gortchakoff adds some details on the siege
works, and on the operation, which have taken place
during the bombardment.
On the 12th of April the enemy, in superior num-
bers, made an attack upon the lodgment coestructed
in front of bastion No. 6, but their first attack was
repulsed by the 2nd battalion of the Chasseurs de
Kolyvan, under the orders of Lieut.-Colonel Teraina-
saff. To explain the operations described below it
is indispensable to state that along the whole of our
line of defence small lodgments have been established
ter our riflemen, situate nearer to the parallels of the
besiegers than to our own fortifications. The enemy,
fully appreciating the harm done by these rapidly-
constructed defences, are now exerting every possible
effort to make us °abandon them, but these attempts
cost them dearly, for on different motions oar ad-
winced chain has defeated them at the point of the
bayonet, or has drawn them under the sharp fire of
grape of our nearest works. _ .
On the above-named day, at 4 a.m. we effected am
explosion with the greatest success again* the
enemy's galleries, directed towards button No 4.
