DESPATO M FROM GENERAL SIMPSON.

( From .a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 21.
Lord Pannlure has this day received a despatch
and its Enclo:mres, of which the following are copies,
addressed to b is Lordship by General Simpson.
Before Sebastopol, September 8.
My Lord,— -At daylight on the sth inst., the batteries
of the allied a rmies opened a steady and continuous fire
against the e' nemy's works.
During the night one of the vessels, supposed to be
a frigate, sta Itioned on the north side of the harbour,
was set on fiu 'e by, it is believed, a shell from a French
battery in ti heir right attack. The firing, during the
6th, 7th, and up to the present moment, has continued
uninterrupted', and bit feebly responded to by the Rus-
sians.
Another frigate was discovered yesterday afternoon to
be on fire, and has been entirely destroyed.
From the .length of time it continued burning it is
supposed to have contained stores.
About eleven o'clock last night a heavy explosion
took place, but I have not as yet been able to ascertain
in which part of the enemy's works.
I beg to enclose the list of casualties to the 6th inst.
I have, &c.,

JAMES SIMPSON,
General Commanding,
The Lord Panmure, &c. &c.
