EASTERN WAR.

'lltther details are given of the battle of Sinope.
°Ugh the Russian admiral knew the Turkish
l'on was already inferior in force, he sent a
er to Sebastopol to fetch three line of battle-
tl of 120 guns, and did not commence opera-
' till they had arrived. Several of the Turkish

Three frigates were on flames, and the
4Aorts altogether sunk. The Turkish portion

o,Whieh only occur in these sacred struggles,.
Russian bulletin states that the flames ne-
k,id the quarter inhabited by the Greeks. It
he not appear that any portion of the crews or
illse on board had been landed. On the follow--
41;110i-fling, nothing remained of the 12 vissela

14 Corvette run ashore, and the Damietta, Egyp-

Times has a leading article on the-
than bulletins and the religious thanksgiving,
o'neir so-called victories, condemning in the-
-I,l4lgest terms, their falsehood and hypocrisy.
0 dates would show that the bold and sea-
!tel.), ke proposal of Admiral Dundas, to immedi-
N. Pursue the Russians and cut them off from
Itii.4Btopol, was feasible. The sharp though
Gaheetual attack upon Fort Matschin on the
'l)(i'llbe, removes meanwhile all doubt from the•
rube,
which Russia gives this war.
!fibs Times is inclined to believe that the results-
-41"):!'e engagements in Asia during the last week
IV°Vember were unfavourable to the Turks.
tlO Lth respect to the entry of the combined fleets
wiz the Black Sea, the article remarks, " that a
qi,,sion will ensue, when naval forces are placed
Couch a position, is extremely probable; and the
titeeror of Russia, foreseeing that such a result
11,tliot long be avoided, may anticipate it by the
itit'exation of a rupture. The manner in which
t(1)::', attacks have been conducted, and the
is itkk which these victories have been celebrated,
qesi,7tient proof that the Emperor will not easily
ofti‘ from the war ; and though we regret none
kve,:e protracted efforts which have been made to
to ,_ao great an evil, we are not the less prepared
oh.44net it in the last resort by a vigorous
stance.
