The French Minister of War received yesterday
the following telegraphic despatch from Marshal
Pelissier, dated Sebastopol Nov. 16, 6 p.m.
" Our park of artillery (called Park of the
Mill) near Inkorman was partly destroyed yester-
day at 4 o'clock in tho afternoon by the explosion
of three magazines, containing altogether 30,000
kilogrammes of powder, 600,000 cartridges, 300
charged shells, and other projectiles.
" The ignited materials, hurled to a distance,
caused a violent conflagration in the English park
next to ours, and there also partial explosions took
place.

" At G o'clock the English and French world
men were masters of the fire.

" ' Our loss consists of 30 killed, including
two officers, and some hundred wounded, among
whom are 10 officers.

" However sad such an event is, we must still
congratulate ourselves that the consequences have
not been more serious.and disastrous.
‘" I am not able to state the losses of our
Allies. I believe they aro about the same as our

own.

" As nearly always happens in similar cases
t is difficult to ascertain the cause of the first

explosion.
" This is certainly a very lamentable acci-
dent ; but our stores are so considerable that the
resources of the army are not in the slightest de-
gree affected by it.' "

VARNA, 7.15 P. M.

Captain Sherrard Osborne reports that on the
sth and 6th inst. a flotilla, under his orders, in
the Sea of A:off, destroyed enormous quantities
of grain and forage of this year's harvest, which
was compactly stacked in six tiers extending two
miles along th© toast, near Gheiskliman, ready to
be conveyed Ratty to the Crimean army after the
formation of the ice in the Gulf of Azoff, and
partly to the army of the Caucasus, and which
the enemy thought secure from any naval attack.
By the skilfulness of the arrangements, and
the manner in which they were executed by Cap-
tain Osborne, 'in which he was ably seconded by
Commander Ychn J. Xennedy, the enterprise was
effected in tit() most brilliant manner, by landing
on three points under cover of the gun-boats of
the Allies in the face of not less than 4,000

cavalry and ixtlantry.
Our loss amounted to only six wounded.
