THE OFFIcERS WOUNDED AT
SEBASTOPOL.

WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 22.
Lord Panmure having, in consequence of nu-
merous inquiries, asked General Simpson to report
upon the condition of the wounded officers, has
received by telegraph, dated 20th inst., 8 a.m., a
satisfactory account of their progress towards re-
covery.

It is considered probable that the full lists of
killed and wounded will not reach the War-office
before the end of the week, the care and caution
required in their verification rendering it a work
of time and difficulty.

With General Simpson's despatch of the 9th,
given on Saturday, a list of officers killed, wounded,
and missing is given in the Gazette. The return
is substantially the same with that published in
The Sun of the 13th, as having reached Lord Pan-
mure by telegraph; but which was at the time
stated. to be subject to correction.
Comparing the corrected list with that published
in The Sun of the 13th inst., the following appear
t• be the most important variations :
Killed—Captain Hutton, of the 97th Foot, was re-
turned under this head instead of missing.
Dangerously Wounded—Lieut. S wire, 17th Foot ;
Captain Gillum, Ist Foot ; and Ensign Peachey, 3d
Foot, were omitted.

Severely Wounded—Captain flume, 55th Foot, and
Ensign Young, 19th Foot, were omitted. Lieut.-Col.
F. Maxwell, 88th Foot, was inserted instead of Lieut.
G. J. Maxwell, of that regiment. Lieut. Deverill, 90th
Foot, was printed Derail!.
Slightly Wounded—Lieut. Moorsom, 30th Foot ;
Captain Richards, 55th Foot ; Captain Sergeant, sth
Foot ; Lieut. and Adjutant Hamilton, 41st Foot ;
Lieut. Dring, 62d Foot ; Ensign and Adjutant Tose-
land, 33,1 Foot ; and Ensign Hill, 97th Foot, were
omitted. Major Pratt, 41st Foot, was inserted for Major
Platt ; and Lieut. Wallis, 33d Foot, for Lieut. Willie.

THE APPOINTMENT OF MEHEMET ALL

The sudden reaccession of Mehemet Ali Pacha to
power from a state of banishment, though not by
any means unusual in the history of the Ottoman
Empire, caused considerable astonishment both at
Constantinople and in Paris when the fact came to
be known here. It was understood that Lord
Stratford do Redcliffe was strongly opposed to Me-
hemet's return to office, and his reappointment dur-
ing the noble Ambassador's absence in the Crimea
was thought to exhibit a curious mixture of fear
and bravado on the part of the Sultan's advisers,
which would be sure to bring down on them some
mark of his Excellency's severe reprobation. Ac-
cording to the Univers, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe's
feeling on the matter was so thoroughly appreci-
ated by those about him, that, during his chief's
absence, the head dragoman took upon himself to
school the Grand Turk on his conduct. That
journal affects to give the ipsissima verbs used by
both parties in this extraordinary interview. Our
readers must form their own opinion of the verisi-
militude of the whole story. The Dragoman is
reported to have said—
" Sire,—Lord de Redcliffe has charged me to present
to your Majesty his respects and felicitations on the oc-
casion of the Beiram, and to call your attention at the
same time to certain reports in circulation, relative to
the approaching re-entrance into office of Mehemet Ali
Pacha. By forgetting the promise you deigned to make
to the Ambassador in this regard, your Majesty will
compromise him with his Government, and will seriously
injure your own sovereign dignity."
To this speech the Sultan is reported to have
sharply replied as follows :
" My dear Monsieur Pisani,—l am my own master.
My Ministers are my own servants. Tell your Ambas-
sador that I choose them, I dismiss them, I banish
them, I pardon them, I take them back and eismiss
them again, how and when I please. On such matters
I render an account to no one. You may retire."
