OFFICIAL DESPATCH PROM FIELD-
MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN.

( From; a Second Supplsinent to Tuesday's Cazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, MARCH 22.
Lord Panulure has this day received a despatch and
its enclosures, of which the following arc copies, ad-
dressed to his lordship, by Field-Marshal the Lord
Raglan, G.C.B.

Befcre Sebastopol, March 8, 1855.

MY LORD,—The enemy continue to manifest grent
activity in preparing tha work which I mentioned to
your lordship in my despatch (No. 187), and are now
bringing up platform timber and guns for the equipment
and armament of it.

Vast convoys are daily observed arriving on the north
side of the town ; and I learn, from information entitled
to credit, that the road leading from Simpheropol is
covered with waggons laden with provisions and muni-
tions of war.

This morning three British guns, placed in a battery
overhanging the Tebernaya, opened upon two small
stsarners anchored at the head of the harbour, and,
after a fire of about an hour, obliged them to take re-
fuge behind a point. One of theta appeared to have
sustained considetable damage, and is supposed to have
been deserted by her crew.

The weather was fine yesterday, and is particularly so
to-day, and the country is becoinin,g quits dry.
I have reason to hope that the sick are deriving mate-
rial benefit from this change.

I have eEtiblishe 1 a Convalescent hospital on the
heights immediately above Balaklava, near a fine spring
of water.

The Inspector-General of Hospitals entertains great
expectations of the advantages that will result from
placing the huts in so heal k j a locality.
Lieutenant General Pennefather has resumed the
command of the 2d Division ; and is, I am happy to be
able to report, looking remarkably well.
I enclose the return of the casualties to the 4th inst.
I have, etc.,
RAGLAN.
The Lord Paumure, &c., &e.
