OFFICIAL DESPATCH.

( From a Supplement to Friday's Gazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 10.

The effect was most imposing, attended as the cere-
mony was by the Naval and Military Commanders-in-
Chief of the Allied Forces ; and after the delivery by her
Majesty's Ambassador of a peculiarly eloquent discourse
upon the character and history of the Most Honourable
Order, the several Knights were respectively invested
with the insignia of their Cass.

I transmit the weekly report of the principal Medical
Officer, which shows a decided improvement in the
health of tha army, and the lists of casualties to the
26th inst.—l have, &c.,

Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and
its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his lordship by General Simpson.
BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, AUG. 28.
My Lord,—Since the attempt of the enemy to force
the passage of the Tchernaya, on the 16th instant, no
movement of aggression bas taken place ; but all the ac-
counts I have received tend to show a disposition on
their part to renew the attack. I have coesidered it
necessary to send the Highland Division, composed of
the 42d, 71st, 79th, and 93d Regiments, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-General Sir C. Campbell, to rein-
force our extreme right, and they are now encamped on
the slopes of the heights overhanging the village of
Kamara.

I have likewise placed 50 guns and the cavalry in re-
serve, to act on the first appearance of the enemy.
The 56th Regiment has arrived, and I have attached it
to the Ist Division.

The siege operations are progressing favourably ; but,
owing to the brightness of the nights, a large amount of
work cannot be executed.
The raft bridge from the north side to the south shore
has been completed, and is actually in use by the enemy,
and a considerable increase of troops, with a good deal
of movement, is observable in the town.

The installation of the Knights of the Bath took place
yesterday at my head-quarters, and was conducted with
great dignity and solemnity by Viscount Stratford de
Redcliffe.
