WAR DEPARTMENT, FHB. 2.

His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has received a de-
spatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to his
Grace by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. :
Before Sebastopol, Jan. 15, 1855.
My Lord Duke,—The fall of snow has been very great
for the last three days, and it is now fully a foot deep,
which, I am assured, is a very unusual occurrence in this
part of the Crimea.
This circumstance adds materially to our difficulties in
obtaining fuel ; but detachments of Turks aro posted near
the coast to bring up wood, which has been cut by parties
of our own in the neighbourhood of the monastery of St.
George, to the nearest divisions..
I am happy to say that the number of wounded in the
sortie of the Russians, on the night of the 12th instant,
was only six instead of thirty-six, as I erroneously stated
to your Grace in my despatch of the 13th, and that it was
altogether a less serious affair than was at first reported.
I enclose a return of casualties between the 12th and
14th inclusive.

Last night the onemy attacked the French advanced
trench in considerable force, but were repulsed after a
sharp contest and some loss on both sides.—l have, &c.,
RAGLAN.

His Grace the Duke of Newcastle,
&c. &c. &c.
