NO BOMBARDMENT

SEBASTOPOL.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 22, 8 A. M.

The Muniteur says that the Minister of War
has received the following despatch from General
Pelissier

" CRIMEA, AUG. 19, 1 P. m.

" It was necessary to continue the armistice
demanded yesterday by the Russians from 5 a.m.
to 2 p.m. to-day,' for them to carry away their
dead. The nearest return we could make gives
the following results :—Russians buried by the
French 2,129, by the Russians I,2oo—total
Z,329."

The Moniteur adds the e words :

" The artillery has again opened fire against
Sebastopol. An error in a despatch led to the
belief that another bombardment had commenced.
it is not the case. This fire is that of our can-
nons, which, as has been seen, has powerfully
contributed, since its recommencement, to facili-
tate the works of the approaches directed againtt
the ensemble of the Malakhoff works."

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

The Queen and the Emperor, accompanied by
the Imperial and Royal suites, arrived at the
Exhibition at ten minutes past eleven. Their
Majesties were received by Prince Napoleon, the
Commissioners, and the Juries. The approaches
were densely crowded, and there was much
cheering.

TRIESTE, TUESDAY, AUG. 21.
We have news from Trebisond, dated the 6th

August.
A Russian corps, counnanded by General Sus-
sulhoff, had gained a success over some Turkish
detachments at Kinprickoi. It was within three
hours' march of Erzeroum.

The armament of Erzeroum was not yet com-
pleted. The inhabitants of the town had received
orders not to abandon the place, and all hale men
were summoned to oppose the Russians.

MARSEILLES, TUESDAY, AUG. 21.

e Simois has arrived with the mail from
Constantinople to the 13 h. A winter camp is to
be established at the Eaux Douces. The Otto-
man Government has just authorised the con-
struction of a railway from Constantinople to Bel-
grade, and it will be soon put up to tender. The
outrages committed by the Bashi-Blzonks have
been much exaggerated. The accounts from Asia
are not very tranquillising. According to the
Presse d'Orient, Erzeroum is said to be be threa-
tened ; the Russian army had crossed the Soghan.
and occupied the village of Tchin-Tchai.
Hafir Pacha was at Baibuth in great want of
provisions. The European Consuls at Erzeroum
were expected at Trebisond.
The Simois brings an account that a Turco-
European Commission has been instituted in order
to propose medical reforms. On the occasion of
the fete of the 15th, General Larchey will review
10,000 men of the French reserve now in the
camp of Maslak. These reserves, which will in a
short time amount to 50,000 men, will be divided
between Maslak and the Eaux Douces. 16

squadrons of cavalry will also encamp at Daoup
Paella. The English contingent will go to
Schumla, and not into Asia. Colonel Calan-
drelli is rapidly fortifying Erzeroum, but he is
in want of regular troops. The Bey of Tunis
has offered to act against the insurgents of Tri-
poli. The Presle d'Orient states that General
Simpson will shortly be replaced by General Henry
Ben tin cic.

VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING, A VG. 20.

Cardinal de Viale-Prelat, Apostolic Nuncio at
Vienna, and the Archbishop of Vienna, have ter-
minated the negotiations for concluding a Con-
cordat between the Holy See and the Austrian
Government, and it was si4ned yesterd;ty, and
will be published as soon as the ratifications have
been exchanged.

The InvaUde Russe, of the 12th, contains the
following despatches, since received at St. Peters-

burg :

AUG. 10, 2.10 p.m.

Since nine o'clock this morning the enemy's
fire has redoubled in vivacity. Up to noon our
assailants fired chiefly against the works of
Wester Swartho and the Nicholas battery, upon
tho bland of Rentan, but without success. His
oannonado Wag then again turned against the
fortress.

According to an approximative eatimae, he
fired 3,000 times yesterday against the island of
Sandham. The fire was chiefly- by broadsides, or
Pi rolling fire.

To-day he has thrown nearly 4,800 shells
against the isle Of Wester Swartho and the
Nicholas battery, nearly all the shells, to judge
by their explosions, being seven-pounders.

7.10 F.M.

The enemy's cannonade is feebler•

The bombardment (f to'dal kas, it is certain,

occasioned no damage either to the fortifications,
or the batteries or guns. During the 104 two

days the fire has destroyed some buildings Iva:

filing of rockets ceased at half-past 11.

During

the course of last night about 350 were fired.

This morning, at 5.30 a.m., the fire against

the fortress ceased.

Daring the night some boats approached the
Nicholas Battery, on Rentan Island, so as to be

able to throw in rockets at a shorter distance. A
cannon loaded with grape was fired at them and

compelled thorn to withdraw ; since then the
firing of the rockets completely ceased.

10.30 p.m.—The bombardment was not re-
newed during the day. The enemy's fleet remains
at anchor in its old position, and counts the same
