DEATH OF LORD RAGLAN.

WAR DEPARTMENT, AMA 90.

Lord Penman has received intelligence from
General Simpson announcing the fatal termination
of Lord Raglan's illness. Until 4 p.m. on the 28th his
lordship had been progressing to the satisfaction of his
medical attendants, when alarming symptoms de-
veloped themselves, attended with difficulty of
breathing, which gradually increased. From
five p.m., he was unoonedou, and from
this period he gradually sank until 25 minutes before
9, at which hour he died. The event has plunged
the whole army into the most profound grief.

RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS IN THE ASIATIC

ST. PETERSBURG, Juits 22.
We shall probably soon hear of the recommence-
ment of hostilities on the Asiatic frontier of Turkey,
u the Governor-General of the Caucasus has gone

himself to take the command in person of the active
army at Alexandrople (Gumri), and taken measure*
for energetic field operations, whilst the dispositions
he has made at his seat of government would lead to
the belief of his contemplating a long absence. Lieut.-
General Brimmer has been appointed to command
the artillery of the separate army of the Caucasus, oleo
Lientenant-General Prince Bsbutoff, who is removed
to a more important sphere of action. Under the
orders of this latter officer are now placed the staff of
the separate Caucasus army, all the troops stationed
beyond the Caucasus not belonging to the active
army on the Asiatic frontiers of Turkey, the corps of
General Ourt, and the troops on the shores of the
Caspian Sea, together with the whole of the military
administration of the above forces. These, and se-
veral other appointments of a personal nature, and
arrangements of a local character, have been signified
to the troops by an order of the day, dated the 29th
of May, and signed by the Commander-in-Chief.

DESPATCHES FROM PRINCE
GORTCHAKOFF.

We have received the it. Petersburg journale of
the 20th, 21st, and 22nd., and find in them the fol-
lowing despatches from Prince Gortchakoff:

SEBASTOPOL, Sows le.
Since the 12th the enemy's fire againit Sebastopol has
been feeble. Our daily losses are moderate.
On the 12th the enemy's fleet returned to the Black Sea
after leaving nearly 2,000 troops, principally Turks, at
Sark& and Yenikal6. On the 15th, the fleet, which
visited Hertel, arrived at Sebastopol.

Jima 17,

At daybreak this morning the meaty command a vi-
prom manmade against the left half of oar line of de-
fence. At two o'clock, p.m., his lire, slackening against the
third end fourth sections, oornmeneed with arrest violence
agalast oar right flank, that is to say, against the tint sad
second motions. _

Oar batteries replied with energy. At nightfall the can-
nonade slightly 'Wed, bat it has beta stronger altogether
to-day than on any previous oecarion.
At daybreak, also, newly 16,000 of the eaenty's troops
crossed the Tohnernala, near Tchorgonn, and encamped be-
tween the villages of Hudak' and Beholds.

Jinni 18, 2 P.M.

After four and-twenty hours of the most murderous can-
nonade and the most frightful bombardment, the enemy
at daybreak this morning, assaulted the bastions 1,2, 3, and
Korailoff. Repulsed upon all points, with the greatest
loss, the French retreated, leaving 600 prisoners in our
hands.

The heroism of all the defenden of flebutopol, from the
general to the common soldier, is of the most exalted kind.
To this the Invalsde Busse adds:

We hare remised from Prince Gortohakoif a new tale• I
graphis despatch, annetmeiag that after the assault whisk
was repulsed in sash &brilliant manner by our troops, the
enemy almost entirely diacontinued the fire, and up to
eta o'clock p.m. of the 19th, nothing important _had
occurred.

On the evening of the 24th Prince Gortehakoff
writes:—" The enemy has not renewed the can-
nonade, and fires bet rarely.
" The corps which had crossed the Tchernaya re-
turned to the left bank on the night of the 22nd.
_ _

" A movement in the Allied fiesta is observed."
