OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM FIELD-
MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN.

( Front a Second Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, MARCH 22.
Lord Panmure has this day received a'despatch and
its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his lordship, by Field-Marshal the Lord
Raglan, G.C.B.

Before Sebastopol, March 8, 1855.
MY LORD,—The enemy continue to manifest great
activity in preparing the work which I mentioned to
your lordship in my despatch (No. 187), and are now
bringing up platform timber and guns for the equipment
and armament of it.

Vast convoys are daily observed arriving on the north
side of the town ; and I learn, from information entitled
to credit, that the road leading from Simpheropol is
covered with waggons laden with provisions and muni-
tions of war.

This morning three British guns, placed in a battery
overhanging the Tchernaya, opened upon two small
steamers anchored at the head of the harbour, and,
after a fire of about an hour, obliged them to take re-
fuge behiud a point. One of them appeared to have
sustained considerable damage, and is supposed to have
been deserted by her crow.

The weather was fine yesterday, and is particularly so
to-day, and the country is becoming quite dry.
I have reason to hope that the sick are deriving mate-
rial benefit from this change.

I have establishei a convalescent hospital on the
heights immediately above Ba,lziklava, near a fine spring
of water. _ _ _

The Inspector-General of Hospitals entertains great
expectations of the advantages that will result from
placing the huts in so heal by a locality.
Lieutenant• General Pennefather has resumed the
command of the 2d Division ; and is, I am happy to be
able to report, looking remarkably well.
I enclose the return of the casualties to the 4th inst.
I have, &c.,
RAGLAN.
The Lord Panmure, &c., &c.
