'HE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

VIENNA, JUNE 14, 2 P.M.

A despatch from Varna, dated yesterday, Wed-
nesday, June 13, says that the French troops had
been recalled from Kertch, probably to assist
in some great blow against Sebastopol.

Prince Gortschakoff, dating June 8, thus re-
ports on the assault of the previous evening :

The Allies kept up a very heavy bombardment
on the 6th and 7th, until six o'clock in the even-
ing, when three French divisions advanced and
attacked Redoubt No, 7. They took the redoubt
on the Mamelon (Kamschatka), and the two re-
doubts (Selinghinsk and Volhynia) near Careen-
ing Bay, and also a battery between Selinghinsk
and Bastion No. 1.

Our troops re-took the Mameion redoubt, but
he French, strongly reinforced, again attacked,

and took it once more.

In the end we were masters of the battery (i.e.
the one between Selinghinsk and Bastion No. 1),
the French holding a lodgment from which we
hope to repel them.
Our troops fought nobly, and the result is that
the enemy's loss exceeds ours. He has lost 2,500
and we have made 275 men and 7 officers pri-
soners. We have a:so taken two guns.

ST. PETERSBURG, THURSDAY.
Prince Gortschakoff writes on the 9th:—
" The cannonade continues against the bastion■
Korniloff and No. 3.

" The enemy has asked for an armistice, in
order that he may bury his dead. His loss on
the 7th exceeded 4,000 men."
Iu a despatch previously received the Russian
commander writes :

" On the 30th the enemy's fleet, which had
attacked Genitchi, set sail.

" The Emperor's Aide-de-Camp, Prince Labanoff
Rostovsky, then ordered the troops to enter the
city, with the, view of extinguishing the fire, and
he hopes to save a portion of the corn which had
been given up as lost.
"On the 30th the enemy's steamers approached
one of the landing places near Arabat, and set fire
to the depots there. A merchant vessel and seve-
ral coasting vessels were burnt by them.

" General Wrangel's detachment remains in the
same position. The enemy has not undertaken
anything in the peninsula of Kertch."
