OFFICIAL DESPATCTTES FROM' THE

CRIMEA.

( From a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, JUNE 7.
Lord Panmure has received a despatch, of which the
following is a copy, addressed to his Lordship by Field-
Marshal the late Lord Raglan, G.C.8.; and has also
this day received two despatches and their Enclosures,
addressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Simp-
son, commanding her Majesty's forces in the East, of
which copies are a!so subjoined.

Before Sebastopol, June 25, 1855.
My Lord,—l am much concerned to have to an-
nounce to you the death of Major-General Estcourt, Ad-
jutant-General of this army, which took place yesterday
morning at nine o'clock, after an illness of little more
than three days ; he died of cholera, and I deeply
lament the loss of so estimable a man, and of an officer
so anxious to perform his duty.
I beg strongly to recommend that Lieutenant-Colonel
the Hon. W. L. Pakenham may be placed at the head
of the Adjutant-General's department. He ha 3 done
the duty of Deputy-A-Jutant-General since the army
was formed ; he is an excellent man of badness, and
well acquainted with the service in all its branches, and
his appointment won-Id-not alone be agreeable to me, hut
would be equally so to General Simpson, who entertains
a very high opinion of his qualifications, and reposes
every confidence in him.
I have reported the death of General Estcourt to the
General Commanding-in-Chief, and have mentioned to
his lordship my recommendation of Lieut.-Colonel the
Hon. W. L. Pakenham.—l have, &c.,

RAGLAN.

The Lord Panmure, &c., &c.

Before Sebastopol, June 30, 1855.
My Lord,—lt is with the deepest regret that I an-
nounce to your Lordship the death of Field-Marshal
Lord Raglan, G.C.8., which melancholy event took
place a little before nine o'clock on the evening of
Thursday last, the 28th instart. His Lordship
expired without any suffering in the midst of the officers
composing his personal staff.
I have further to report that being the next senior
officer present, I have assumed the command of this
army, until instructions shall arrive from England.
I have, ac., JAMES SIMPSON,
Lientenant•General Commanding.
The Lord Panmure, &c.

Before Sebastopol, June 30.
My Lord—ln this, my first military despatch, I am not
aware that there is anything new or of consequence to
report to your Lordship.
As regards the progress of the siege, there is no
great operation yet determined upon, but we are
employed in repairing and improving our works,
to be in readiness to co operate with the French,
when their approaches towards the Malakhoff shall
be completed.
The nominal returns of casualties from the 25th to
the 28th inst. are enclosed.

I am truly sorry to announce that Lieut.-General Sir
George Brown departed for England this morning on
medical certificate.

The 13th Light Infantry has arrived, and disem-
barked at Balaklava this morning.
They will remain there for the present to assist in the
duties of the place. _

• - I have, &c.,
JAMES SIMPSON,
Lieutenant-General Commanding.
The Lord Panmure, &c., &c., &c.
