GENERAL RINPSO24.—In the first notices of this

the Sad Division wee assigned to him by repute. Lord
Palmerston's explanation on Friday night, however, shows
that he will exercise no military contstanti in the field. Ste
lordship thus defined General Simpson's duties :—" Wet
have not hitherto had in the British army an officer simile
to him who, in foreign armies, bears the title of Chief se
the Staff.' The consequence has been, that all the details
of the quartermaster's and adjutant-general's departments
have bees brought to the Commander-in• Chief, much to
his aaa.isenience, and have tended to abstract his sues-
tios

keown for his Bermes in the Peninsula, at Waterloo, and
in India, Is going out immediately as chief of the staff;
to have the control and command of the quartermaster's

which in its tarn replied to the fire from :every bat-
tery. The first attack appears to have had no great
effect.

" On the 10th, the Allies advanced against Bwea-
borg a reinforcement consiating of great vessels of
war, throwing a mass of balls, bombs, and Congreve
rockets, the greater portion bursting in the sea. On
this day no Russian battery in the ports had been
dismounted. The number of cannon which thun-
dered against the place was estimated at about 600.
The noise was distinctly heard many miles from the
sea, and all the people of the country and of the op-
posite coast hastened to the shore. At Libau,'
every broedside from the enemy was plainly beard.
"It appears that on the 10th no result had been
obtained by the Admirals, and the latter were arrang-
ing to recommence the attack the next day with all
their available strength. The vessels now engaged
before Bweaborg show a total armament of at least
1,200 guns.

"Every hour, every moment. we hope to be able
to learn the result of this terrible bombardment—

the first undertaken by the allied fleets against a
Russian fortress in the Baltic in their two mari-
time campaigns."

Advioes from Konigsberg state that when the
attack on Sweaborg began the Grand Duke Constan-
tine, immediately informed by telegraph of the event,
demanded leave to go out and attack the reduced
fleet before Cronatadt. The Emperor refused.

THE CRIMEA.

iikaniLlae, NOXIIAT billinto.

The Carmel has arriTed with amounts from Con-
staatioople to. the 20th. The Sultan has decided

'that 26 battalions, taken from the Turkish troops in
the Crimea and from the Daaube, shall be sent to
Asia. Omer Puha, as well as Hussein Paola, was
to leave on the 21st for Batoum. Lord Stratford de
Radcliffe was about to embark for the Crimea, where
be will present insignia of the Order of the Bath to
several generals. General PeHosier, in an order of
the day of the 17th, congratulates the army of the
Tcheroaya on having, by its victory of the 16tk,
worthily celebrated the tete of the Emperor. The Rus-
sians, says General Pelissier, have lost more than
6,000 men, and have left in the hands of the Allies
2,200 wounded and prisoner.. Among the officers
who have distinguished themselves, the order of the
day mentions Generals Herbillon and de Failly, as
well as Colonel Forgeot, of the artillery, and adds
that the cavalry under General Morris were ready to
have followed up the pursuit of the enemy, but that
the General-in•Chisf, who does not lose sight of the

principal objeet of the great enterprise in which
France is engaged, wished to spare useless bloodshed,
after having once more proved the superiority of the
French infantry over the vaunted Roman troops.
Another despatch of the same date gives the fol-
lowing summary of the news by the Carmel :

Ministerial intrigues are still going cm. Abd-el•Kader
was about to leave for France. Letters from the Cringes,
of the 18th, say that the Russians were decimated in the
affair of Traktir. The Imperial Guard and the English
cavalry were not engaged. Bin Turkish battalions and a
battery of Turkish artillery took part is the battle and be-
haved well. General Pilisaler has published two orders of
the du, in which be mentions the names of Generals Fan-
chnex, Unbind', Clll2lOll. de Failly, Cler, and Wimple's,
and of Colonels balmy, de PAN, Canvey, and Forged.
The English cavalry is to winter in Turkey. Ie the morn-
ing of the 17th the English batteries opened their firs, and
thus enabled themselves to advance their approaches.

THE BALTIC.

The Journal do &. Pete►sbourg of Aug. 19 has the
following :
The Military Governor-General of St. Petersburg
has published the following notice under date of
Aug. 17 :

1" Towards noon yesterday six of the gunboats of
Rear-Admiral hfoffett's detachment went beyond the
Tollonkhine lighthouse to reconnoitre the enemy.
The latter sent against them a screw frigate and two
steam floating batteries, while three screw vessels of
the line kept on the look out. After allowing them to
approach within the long cannon range, Rear-Admiral
Moffet returned, firing, to the protection of our
fortifications. As far as we could ascertain, one of the
enemy's steamers received three balls near its paddle-
wheels. Not one of our gunboats was hit. Before
arriving within the range of our forts, the enemy's
vessels put about and regained their fleet, on the part
of which no movement was observable.' "

Helsingfors, August 13—two days after the fleets hid

bombardment, and the expenditure of from 18,000 to
20,000 shells, all the fortifications, all the batteries,
and all the works of defence are left completely in-
tact. The day after the departure of the allied fleets
the fire at Sweaborg was completely extinguished,

RUSSIA.

A letter from Odessa of the 14th inst., given in
the Military Gazette, of Vienna, states that 17
drushines of the new levy of the empire had arrived
at Bimpheropol from the government Boursk, and
that 38 additional drushines were, at the same
date, on their march between Nikolaleff and Kre-
mentshuk. The drushine consists of four companies,
each of 250 rank and tile. Our Vienna contempo-
rary cannot mean that 55,000 soldiers of this new
organization, decreed only in February last, are al-
ready on active service.

AUSTRIA.

According to the tenor of recent advices from
Frankfort, Vienna, and Berlin, the Austrian govern-
ment is taking rest pains to secure a majority of the
confederated states of Germany in favour of the four
points intending to bring again that question before
the Diet. From the earnestness shown by Austria in
this matter, sons of our correspondents infer that the
cabinet of Mama has obtained from England and
France an undselakies to abide by that former basis
of a peace.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The following is an extract from a private note
from Mr. Consul Brant, of Erzeroum, dated the 6th
of Anna :
Since the 3rd we have been in the greatest state of con-
hellos, principally for want of judgment of the Pubes,
military and civil. That evening news was brought that the
Russians were at Hsrpi Heal, tho Turk, having retreated.
Oar guns ia the redoubts wore waned, and Bashi-Bssoeka
placed over the artillery. The Pacha went eat to camp
himself. Hs laid if he did not encourage hie men all would
desert, as they were exposed to a burning sun all day and a
chilling wind all night, having no tents, and were falling
ill. The Pacha returned to town this morning ; the Rus-
sians bad retired. It is said an order reached Vely Pachs
to retire from Repri Hui, as 10,000 Russians would ad-
vance ea hist there, and 20,000 more detached from the
Han army would join. I am this moment informed that
the post from Han has arrived. General Williams writes
that half the Russian army had marched towards the
guides Dagb, in the direction of EISITOUIII, 20,000 men. so
that we are maids; yet the force remaining behind wee
too strongly iatrenched, too strong in artillery (40 pieces),
and too numerous to be safely attacked ; so possibly we may
hays 30,000 men down upon us, and it were best to be pre-
pared. I shall not quit until the last extremity.

THE ANGLO•ITALIAN LEGION.

The following is an extract from a letter from
Novara, of the 25th,given by the Corriere Mercantile:
" The English Minister has arrived from Axons, with
an English captain, having finished the recruiting
for the Anglo-Italian Legion, in the districts of Owls,
Anna, Intro, Pallouga, &c., &c. The general quarters
will be established hers--at least, so it is said. People
of all countries and races arrive here every day—
especially Swiss, liangarians,and Lombards, attracted
by the report which is prevalent—more particularly
at Milan—that the Legion will ultimately serve
against Austria. Few Piedmontese enter."
London, England, 1855-08-28

THE CRIMEA.

The Military Gasette of Vienna has the following
amongst other remarks on the recent battle on the
Tchernaya, and its results:
" The action must have been a very bloody one ; the
Russians lost in dead and wounded 2,700 men, the
French 991 men, the Turks 750 men, and the Sar-
dinians 200 men. This comparatively small logs to
the last was merely because they fought behind in-
trenohments, and were thus able to inflict heavy loss
on the attacking Russians. We remark that the
Belbek army of Prince Gortchakoff did not take part
in the affray. The prince was expecting an opera-
tion to come off against the Malakhoff works. In fact,
General Simpson did announce that it had been re-
solved to open flre on the 17th from the English and
French batteries.
" It was to keep this operation in check that a
diversion was attempted by the Russians on the
Tohernaya. The Russian general failed in his ob-
ject—that of taking up a position on the Raider
heights, so as to threaten Balaklava, as on the 25th
of October last—but then he deployed so large a
force on the right bank of the river, that the allied
commanders deemed it expedient to open the bom-
bardment on the 17th inst. against the works of the
fortress, merely from the remoter redoubts, and not
to unmask their new batteries and approaches.
" On the 18th there was an armistice, mutually
concluded, for the removal of the dead on the
Tchernaya, but the bombardment against Sebastopol
by the allies, and against the approaches by the
Reagens, was continued."
