TATEST NN,WS.

THE CRIMEA.

The following despatch, with Constantinople
news to the 21st, contains the first private ad-
counts that have been received of the unsuccess-
ful attack on the Malakhoff Tower on the 18th :
" MARSEILLES, JUNE 30.

The Ganges, which left Constantinople on the
21st, has arrived. Aali Pacha, the new Grand
Vizier, was expected at Constantinople.
" The re-appointment of Reschid Pacha as
Grand Vizier was thought probable. The English
General, Williams, accompanied by Yassif Pacha,
had left Erzeroum to defend Kars against the
Russians. It was expected that Eupatoria would
shortly be attacked by the Russians.

"The news from the Crimea is of 19th June.
On the 17th, at three in the morning, the allied
army attacked the Malakhoff Tower and the
Grand Redan.

" General Brunet's division was ordered to

attack the right ; Mayran's division occupied the
centre, and Generl d'Autemarre and the English
the left.

" General d'Autemarre, at, the head of the 19th
and sth Foot Chasseurs, penetrated into the
Malakhoff Tower, and planted the French flag
there ; but the right falling into disorder, General
Eyre, who had gone beyond the Redan, and esta-
blished himself in a difficult position, was obliged
to abandon it the next day with a heavy loss.
"At seven in the morning General Pelissier
recalled the troops. During, tho time the Allies
overe engaged the fleets fired several broadsides,
and were prepared to follow up the attack had it
been successful.

" Colonel Laboussiniere was killed, as was also
the English Colonel Yea, General Eyre is
wounded, and missing."

It will be seen from the above that the Imperial
Guards (the right) were under the necessity of
giving way before the other troops.

MARSEILLES, MONDAY, JULY 2.
The Thabor, which left Constantinople on the
25th June, has arrived with 200 invalids.
Despatches leave at 9 a.m.

Captain Lyons was buried on the 25th.

The Monitewr thus notices Lord Raglan's death :
"For some days past letters received from
London have stated that Lord Raglan was seri-
ously ill. A despatch from General Pelissier,
received this day under date of June 28, ten
o'clock, p.m., announces the death of the worthy
general whom the Government of Queen Victoria
had chosen to command our allies in the East.
France will join in the regrets of General Pe-
lissier."

The followin,g is his despatch to the Minister of

War :

" It is with profound regret T have to announce
to you that the venerable chief of the English
army breathed. his last sigh this evening at nine
o'clock. We are the more grieved since his con-
dition had seemed for the last 24 hours much
improved."

PARIS, JULY 1.

Further news by the Ganges state that the
French, in their attack on the 18th, advanced as
far as the Malakhoff Tower, but met with a ditch
dug by the Russians on the previous night. It
was on this account that the scaling ladders
proved too short. The garrison sent up masses
of troops, which, being supported by the Russian
ships firing with all their guns on the approaches
to the Tower, compelled the French to retreat.
The Russians, trying to follow up their advantage,
advanced towrds the Mamelon Vert, but being
cut up by our grape-shot, were forced to retire,
after enormous loss. Three English regiments
having lost their chiefs, were obliged to evacuate
the Grand Madan, surrounded, as they were, by
a superior force.
