DESPATCH FROM LORD RAGLAN.

FROM ♦ SUPPLEMENT TO THE GAZETTE
OF LAST FRIDAY.
DAT= TORADAT, APRIL 24.
WAR DEPARTMENT, APRIL 24.

Lord ranmnre has this day received a despatch
and its enclosures, of which the following are copies,
addressed to his lordship by Field Marshal the Lord
Raglan, G.C.B.
Before Sebastopol, April 10.
My Lord,—ln accordance with the arrangement
made between General Canrobert and myself, the
batteries of the Front& and English armies opened
upon Sebastopol soon after daylight yesterday morn-
ing.
The weather was extremely unpropitious. Much
rain had fallen in the course of the night, and it con-
tinued during the day, accompanied by a tempestuous
wind, and a heavy mist which obscured everything,
and rendered it impossible to ascertain with any de-
gree of accuracy the effect of the fire which has been
continued with little or no interruption from the
commencement, and has been superior to that of the
enemy, who were evidently taken by surprise, and
except upon the extreme left, did not respond to the
attack for nearly half an hour.
This morning has been hazy, and for some time
there was a drizzling rain ; but it is clearing this
afternoon, and there is again a prospect of fine
weather.

The country yesterday. was covered with water,
and the ground was again very deep. The trenches
were likewise extremely muddy, and their condition
added greatly to the labours of the men employed in
the batteries, who consisted chiefly of sawn, artil-
lerymen, and sappers.
They conducted their duties admirably, sad I am
carry to tartlet the two former,partionlarly the navy,
sustained considerable loss.

I have not yet received the returns of the
casualties beyond the 9th ir.stant, which are
herewith enclosed; but the death of Lieutenant
Twyford, of the Royal Navy, a most promising offi-
cer, and greatly respected by all, has been notified to
M; and Captain Lord John Hay, who has taken a
most active part in the gallant and distinguished
services of the Naval Brigade, was wounded almost
at the very moment, I believe by the same shot. I
hope the injury he has received is not very serious,
but the loss of his assistance even for a time is much
to be regretted.
The Russians have not shown themselves in any
force in front of Balaklava.
I have, &a,
The Lord Panmure, &c.

RAGLAN.
