OFFICIAL DESPATCH.

( Prom a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 19.

Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch, of
which the following are extracts, and the subjoined
returns of casualties from the 31st ult. to the 2d inst.,
addressed to his lordship by General Simpson :
Extract of a despatch from General Simpson to Lord
Panmure, dated, before Sebastopol, Sept. 4, 1855.
" From the heavy fire maintained by the enemy on
the head of our sap, the progress made has been slow,
and accompanied, as must be expected, by several ca-
sualties amongst the sappers and working parties ; and
it is with great regret that I have to report the death,
last night, of Captain Pechell, 77th Regiment, whose
conduct I had occasion to bring before your lordship's
notice in my despatch of the Ist inst.
" Within the last few days a second bridge has been
commenced from the north shore to Karabelnaia, the
object being evidently to expedite the removal of stores
from the dockyard.
"The continued reports we receive induce General
Pelissier and myself to believe that the enemy still me-
ditate an attack in force on our positions on the Tcher-
naya, to meet which the troops are kept in a continued
state of readiness.

" The 82d Regiment have arrived from Corfu, and
have disembarked this day. I intend them to relieve
the 13th Regiment at Balaklava, which has joined the
Ist Division under Lord Rokeby.
" The health of the troops is excellent,
"I enclose the list of casualties."
