PARIS, SATURDAY.
The Queen of Sardinia has given birth to &Prince.
The mother of the King of Sardinia died yesterday
at Turin.—Daily News.

According to private accounts, of a completely
reliable character, from St. Petersburg, great dis-
tress is experienced in that city, and much dissatis-
faction prevails at the hard4hips imposed by the
war. It is mentioned that in all the churches
prayers are now offered for peace. As religious
services in Russia are subject to the direct control of
the government, this statement is somewhat re-
markable.—Daily News.

. DESPATCH FROM LORD RAGLAN.
(raw( LLBT NIGHT'S oAzETTE.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, JAN. 12, 1805.
His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day
received a despatch, of which the following is a copy,
addressed to hie Greco by Field Marshal the
Raglan, G.C.B.

Before Sebastopol, Dec. 30, 1854.*
My Lord Dake,—Since I wrote to your Grace on
the 26th, the weather has been somewhat more pro-
pitious ; but the state of the ground is hardly more
satisfactory.
The 18th Regiment has arrived; and I have like-
wise the honour to inform you that we are daily re-
ceiving vast supplies of ammunition, warm clothing,
and huts for the army. The utmost efforts will be
atade to disembark all those stores ; but the difficulty
of effecting this desirable object is very great, owing
to the very limited extent of the harbour, its crowded
state, and the narrow entrance to the town, and
want of spate on the beach, the rocks on the north
side rising directly out of the water, and there being
consequently no accommodation but on one side.
The Russians continue to withdraw from the
Valley of the Tchernaya, whilst they have constructed
defensive works on the heights above, which would
imply a difficulty of maintaining their troops in the
field.
A

was sent out this morning by
General Canrobert towards the river, in co-operation
with a portion of Major-General Sir Colin Campbell'e
force on the extreme right of Baleklava, the result of
which is not yet known.
I enclose a list of casualties from the 25th to the
28th. I have, &c., RAGLAN.
Ilia Grace the Duke of Newcastle.
[ri. list of casualties received with this despatch will
be found in Luther column.]

VIENNA, JAN. 9.

The Austrian correspondens, the medium uni-
formly chosen by this government for communicating
with the public through the press, publishes the
following communicated article respecting the im-
portant proceedings of the last few days. The pas-
sages italicised ale so printed in the original

The public are already aware that the plenipotentiaries
of the three powers allied by the treaty of Dec. 2 met on
the 28th ult ,in consequence of a communication from the
Imperial Russian Ambassador, Prince Gortchakoff, who
declared himself empowered to treat generally on the
►asisof the well-known four points. It is also known that they
then fixed in a more d. finite manner the sense and bearing
of those points by their interpretation. The imperial
Russian ambassador did not find his powers sufficiently ex.
tansies to enable him to speak on the hoses thus elucidated,
and it was in consequence agreed, that further negotiations
should be postponed for fourteen days, due ing which period
Prince Gottchakoff promised to obtain further instructions
from his court. The day before yesterday, the 6th inst.,
the Rummies ambassador informed the imperial minister of

foreign affairs,Count von Buol-Schluenstein,that the instruc-
tions which he had asked of his court had arrived, where-
upon yesterday a conference was held between the imperial
French and the royal Britannic ambusadors, together with
the Count von Buol, and Prince Oortchskoff, at the imperial
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From the mutual explanations
then ezcbxeged it resulted that the representatives of the
Four Powers were essentially agreed in their understanding
of the sense and general bearing of the fundamental points,
and consequently-saving the assent of the cabinets of Paris
_ . .

and Loadoa yet to be obtained—a basis is gamed upon
which negotiation: for the restoration of the peace of
Bwrope may begin.
We greet this preliminary result with great satisfaction,
and at the saw time believe we may venture to express our
expectation that the high courts of France and England and
the Sublime Porte will similarly see in it a result fully cap-
able of serving as a basis for the negotiation of a conclusive
and secure peace.

In the Journal de Constantinople of the 29th Dec.
we read :

The rumour has beet rife at Constantinople for these two
days past, that the 18 Turkish battalions lately disembarked
at Eupatoria have had an encounter in a neighbouring vil-
lage with a body of Cossacks, in which they made 800 pri-
soners, and took the same number of horses.

BRUNSWICK, J. 6.
Hanover and Brunswick have resolved to con-

in the affairs of the East. The secondary states are
successively declaring themselves in the same sense.

A detachment of volanteudf led by Lieutenants Eunleff
and Astapolt, of the navy, and Neut. Bentner, of the rept:
ment of Moscow, attacked the Lift Bank of the English
trenches with so muck impetuosity t'at the soldiers guard-
ing the work were overthrown, and a great number of them
bayoneted (pusi an dl de Is baionette.) On this occasion
we took three oaken and thirty-three men prisoners. On
our side, Limit. Butner, who had volunteered for the third
time, and Ensigns Origorenko and Vornonoff, with twenty-
two men, were wounded, and we lost four men killed. At
the same time, in order to divide the attention of the
enemy, another sortie sou led by Captain Ilinaky, of the
Imperial Navy, against the Turkish trenches. The detach.
meat was perceived by the enemy, and returned to the
fortreu without having sustained any important loss.

fore Sebastopol in that journal of Wednesday last.

the Monileur of yesterday
According to letters from the Crimea, dated the 25th
ult., the Russians made a sortie during the night of the
30th against the left of the French besieging army, on the
side of the Quarantine fort. Tao 9th battalion of foot
chassenre on guard allowed them to approach within twenty
paces, and then fired a Ley that threw them into di/-
order. The chassears then rushing forwards routed the
enemy and pursued them to the very guns of the forts.
The Russians at the same time attacked the right of the
English army, bat were repulsed, suffering considerable
toes, The batteries of howitzers and mortars did great
execution, killing a great number of the enemy. The 'Wi-
gan lost two field-pieces, which were captured.
